    What is this effect called?

    The AT&T Logo is hand illustrated, but the effect you're looking for has various names. In the past, we've referred to it as a "sliced" logo or a "cutline" graphic. Photoshop does not do this effect automatically but there is a PS Plug-in that does, however it's not free...

    It's called HDR photography for High Dynamic Range. Do a search on Google for a plethora of tutorials.

    How to make an anime like face in PS CS5

    Not sure exactly what you're asking. Do you want to turn the image into an Anime style cartoon?

    Newbie painting/fill questions

    No, costisefu, if you lower the opacity on the brush tool it will still accumulate when you paint over previous lines. Give it a try.

    Photoshop CS5 - default file format

    Photoshop always uses .PSD as it's default file format. You can just select JPEG from the list or use SAVE FOR WEB AND DEVICES. Or you can write an action to save files as JPEGs if you prefer.

    Newbie painting/fill questions

    1) I am assuming that you are trying to fill color on an illustration with black illustrated outlines. Here as example of one of my illustrations I did for Disney: I put the ink layer on top (set to multiply) and the color layer below. Set your Paint Bucket tools to the specs in the image...

    How can I crop outside an image once inserted onto another canvas in Photoshop?

    What is wrong with your file being bigger? Disk space is cheap. Never sacrifice editability for file size. That said, you can crop your "layer 3" image by selecting all (cmd-A), floating the selection to a new layer (cmd-J) and deleting the original layer. Now it's cropped. Or you could select...

    Hi,

    Welcome!

    resize photos

    5x7 cm is pretty tiny, so I'm going to assume you mean 5x7 INCHES. Either way, image SIZE is not as important as image RESOLUTION. For instance if your image is 5in x 7in at 72ppi it will be of MUCH lower quality than the same file at 300ppi. Images sent to be printed should be a minimum of...

    Noobie In The House

    Frey, welcome to the wonderful world of Photoshop. If you're looking to acquire professional level skills, Powder has it right. Practice, practice, practice and then practice some more. Start with the basics. Don't jump into advanced stuff until you have mastered the basic tools. I know this...

    3D i need help

    Not to be rude, but if it's a competition, wouldn't a tutorial be cheating? Kind of defeats the purpose right?

    Client wants RAW files - is it possible to save any adjustments to those files?

    OK, let's try this step by step. First, open your RAW image, perform your tweaks, crops, etc. Now, select the icon at the top that looks like a list. It opens the following dialogue box: Select "Camera Raw database" in the "Save Image Settings In" menu. Then click the "Save Image" button at...

    Having trouble clicking and dragging one psd file into another

    Put all your layers in a group, then move the group as a whole. Or make the group into a Smart Layer (I can't say enough good things about working with Smart Layers).

    Whats the best way to keep the same distance between buttons?

    Yes there is! As long as you've got CS4 or CS5. Select your first button layer. Hit ALT-CMD-T. Move your button to the new location. This function actually copies the item instead of just moving it. Once you've got it where you want it, click enter. Now just hit SHIFT-ALT-CMD-T and another...

    Brushstroke or pencil line thickness.

    There is a way, sort of. Though it doesn't always look as good as you'd hope and may require some cleanup at corners. Select your layer, then go to Filter>Other>Maximum to thin the lines or Filter>Other>Minimum to thicken them.

    Losing colours when saving an image (PS CS5)

    This has popped up in a previous post. Here is a very simple workaround (there are others but this is the easiest). Set your color settings to Monitor Color. Go to Edit>Assign Profile... and select "Don't Color Manage This Document". Make sure View>Proof Colors is unchecked. Now when you save...

    How to make these effects using Adobe photoshop cs5?

    You can create these effects manually in Photoshop if you don't want to pay for Knoll Light Factory. Use the shape tool and select a starburst shape and create the new shape in the center of your canvas. Rasterize and blur it quite a bit. Add a bunch of noise. Run the Radial Blur filter: Amount...

    Whats the best way to cut this complicated image from its background?

    Zoe, with an image like this, I would mask it out using a quick mask with a brush because the image is at such a low resolution. Do you know how to create masks by using the brush and following the edge of the item you're masking by continually clicking and holding shift? It's an old fashioned...

    Ahh! Sorry. My humor filter was set to "off". It's been a long week.

    An important question

    No. Transparency doesn't work without clipping paths with an EPS file. If transparency is required consider a PNG if you're creating an image for the web. If you're going to use the image for print through a layout program like InDesign, simply remove the background layer and save as a PSD file.
