    Removing people , changing backgrounds croping etc,

    Getting realistic masks and clean cloning requires one major step: practice. Tip: never make a mask using the Magic Wand tool. Professionals would prefer the Magic Wand were dumped in the dust bin, it is basically useless for 99.9% of uses. Unfortunately so many tutorials teaching masking online...

    problem with making multiple straight lines

    Ahhh! So sorry, totally misunderstood what you were trying to achieve. I see what you're trying to do. When you go to make the next line, you have to completely release the shift key. Click with your pen first, then hold down shift and paint downward. The light diagonal is being created because...

    Replicate this style...

    Though the version raikkonen has created if perfectly acceptable, the sample you're trying to duplicate is much more dramatic and uses two different levels of shadows referred to as cast and grounding shadows. Here's how this kind of shadow is done: Make your shadow with 2 layers. A grounding...

    problem with making multiple straight lines

    First off, don't make lines by drawing them with the brush. Use vector shapes. Select the "Line Tool". Set your line weight and color at the top control panel and select the SHAPE LAYERS icon (the furthest square icon on the left with the points on all four corners). Click and drag to make a...

    Greetings Photoshoppers!

    Everyone has to start somewhere, vampire. Just like anything else, skills come with practice, practice, practice. Devour the knowledge you find here. I only wish there had been a forum like this when I was learning.

    Colorize fireworkbrush (with natural glow)

    Well first off, the images you see on the deviant art page are the original fireworks bursts from which the brushes came. I've never really been much for these types of brushes. Sure, they have their uses, but if you're going to add fireworks to an image, why bother with the brush version (other...

    Resizing image for web

    Try cropping your logo closer to the text (the longer bars are unnecessary at the smaller size.) Once it's cropped and reduced, use UNSHARP MASK: 100% / 1 / 0. This helps a little and the logo becomes pretty readable. Like stated above, there are not enough pixels to make a clear image if...

    color and richness loss saving from raw to jpeg

    This has come up time and again with images being saved for web. Photoshop has a tendency to desaturate colors when saving out to jpg. You mentioned you're a beginner in Photoshop, so I'll show you a simple technique that should help. Step 1: Set your monitor color display profile to "sRGB...
