    URGENT - help, advice, anything

    My friend, I'm a certified Baby Boomer so probably qualify as an old fart myself. But don't tell anybody. I'm holding on to the illusion as long as I can. ;) Larry (ALB68) is good at this and he'll fix you right up.

    URGENT - help, advice, anything

    What program(s) do you have for editing pictures? I could walk you through the steps on Photoshop but if you don't have access to that program it won't help much. Although any of us could resize and combine them for you, that won't help you down the road. There's nothing hard here and I'm...

    PET Photo - Understand light

    I agree that the lighting is key - as always. There is also the issue that the dog itself is a fairly uniform, light color without a lot of topography on his face. This is quite unlike the bulldog, with all its wrinkles and folds. In any event, I did a little editing just for practice, with a...

    I'm a Little Troubled....

    OK, I can see that people are getting upset and angry. That was honestly not my intent. Nor do I question anyone's motives. I sincerely believe that everyone here (myself included) only has PSG's best interests at heart. We ALL just want this to continue to be the best forum it can possibly...

    I'm a Little Troubled....

    It's not the doing - or not doing - of freebies that troubles me. That one kid who wanted us to help him cheat on a test, for example. No way any of us would actually have done such a thing and posted it (although some of us might have tried to do it just for practice in the privacy of our...

    I'm a Little Troubled....

    After a fairly lengthy absence, I came back to my favorite Photoshop forum a few weeks ago. I have been troubled by the change. I originally joined PSG several years ago for one reason and one reason only. It was the friendliest, most inclusive forum on the net. Unlike other forums...

    How do i achieve this photoshop effect?!

    Did you like the cartoonish tone or the three-face montage? Personally, I think it's horrifying, but to each his own. :)

    Photoshop + Excel Help

    If I am understanding what you are trying to do, it can't be done - at least not easily. First, Micro$oft and Adobe hate each other and there's no way either one would voluntarily integrate with the other. Second, Excel and I are on intimate terms. I use it every day in my professional life...

    OK decision time CC or NOT ?

    I've pretty much come to the same conclusion, but for me it's also because although I do occasional photo restoration work for the local ServiceMaster folks (the ones who come in after a fire or flood), I certainly don't make enough to justify a monthly expense and honestly aside from some of...

    What might be the process of creating this?

    I respectfully disagree with my respected peers. Although studio lighting and the best equipment make it easier to get shots of this caliber every time, I do not think it is impossible to get the effect with just a decent camera. As everyone has pointed out, lighting is key. However, I've...

    What might be the process of creating this?

    Welcome to PSG! There are a couple of questions here that require something more than one-word answers. First, the photo. The real trick here to getting this effect is getting it right in the camera. Although you can use all kinds of tricks to try to copy this effect on any photo, even the...

    Backing up your files

    Hoogle, I was one of those people who always thought it would never happen to me.... until it did. I was using an online site to back up the entire thing and found out that it wouldn't restore properly. Put not your faith... I lost a lot of things in that hard drive crash, although I was...

    Help Pls. Something Like Reddish Photo (Photo Attached)

    I have a workflow that I do with every photograph before I even start any retouching. 1. Open photograph and duplicate the background. Open a curves adjustment layer and choose on lowest eyedropper "set white point" and click on something white in the photo. 2. Open a different curves...

    Recent Work! Please Leave Feedback, It's Been Awhile!

    I love your stuff - it's clean, clear and effective. Not a huge fan of the design on the first one. It looks derivative and predictable. The execution is flawless, however. The second one is nothing short of awesome. I don't know if this is something you are doing for someone else but it's...

    How to Warp or Wrap Text to a Whirlpool/Funnel

    There are two methods: You're going to have to dig out the pen tool for the first one. First, use the pen tool to draw a path along the lines of the whirlpool. Select your type tool and the font you want. When you hover over the path you'll see the type tool cursor change. Click on the path...

    What colours if any do you see?

    I'm a woman and not in any way color blind but I honestly do not see colors in that first gif posted. I think it's just perception and which little receptors fire off. The mere fact that there is such a gif shows me that you are not the only one who sees color in that gif. Whether that means...
