    Kookaburra! Another study done!

    You're right, this is a digital painting. Up until 2013 I worked exclusively in acrylics on canvas and illustration board. The industry at the time was going digital and leaving me behind. So I finally jumped on the bandwagon. I do miss working in traditional mediums though! The actual PSD of...

    Kookaburra! Another study done!

    I've had the opportunity to spend some time painting. It's really where my heart is since painting has been a long standing vocation of mine. Here's one of my latest projects.............more to come. I'm not sure where I found the reference for this painting, so I don't know who to credit...

    Chrome green

    Chrome, like painted surfaces, is about reflections. These reflections are distorted if the chrome is curved. In this image, you can see the reflections of the ground, sky, and the photographer. Depending on the circumstances (such as yours), I would just select the area of the car I wanted...

    Layer Styles effect on a the lower part of an image

    Could be! Although I don't think so. Here's your gradient on the text. Looks more like a faux metal. However, if the gradient is working for your and you needs, then that's great! Note: I was basing and mathcing my example off of your text sample in your first post. You may be trying...

    How to apply shine on text

    The problem with this is that the text would be non editable. You would have to repeat the process every single time you wanted to make any changes like color, size, blur or content.

    Is my finished image terrible or good? Please let me know.

    I'm not sure how this has managed to slip by you! You really need to inspect your edits better before posting. Who is selecting the background colors, you or the client?

    Is my finished image terrible or good? Please let me know.

    Sorry Rich, this was my fault. I edited the original post thinking I made it more understandable and I thought I left this part in............ Korupt said.........Software used. Topaz ai to enlarge. Saved and enlarged again. And then opened in Photoshop 2025. copy paste, cloned, removal tool...

    Is my finished image terrible or good? Please let me know.

    The two red arrows point to poorly edited areas of the image. Her hair, in general, was not selected well. I'm not sure what's at the top where the yellow arrow is pointing!

    AI......A Tool. What do you think?

    It all depends on how you look at it. Is AI really a tool? You're right, no traditional tool has or ever will replace creative people! That's not the issue with AI. Here's the problem, in all of the creative genres, AI will give the average Joe with little to no creativity (or skills) the...

    Photoshop wont completely open

    Whoa! Sorry you are having this issue! What I see on the net is saying it can be caused by plugins. While opening Ps, hold down the Shift key, then select “yes” on the prompt that comes up asking if you want to open without loading third-party plugins. If Ps opens properly, you’ll know that a...

    How to re-make this color effect?

    These types of questions are always extremely difficult to answer and a bit unfair to you and other members. The reason is because there are just too many variables that could have been used. We can speculate and guess, but only the original "editor" of the image can tell you how it was actually...

    Layout Issue

    What version of Ps are you running? Mac or PC? Older versions of Ps had this issue but it was rectified in subsequent versions. Hold the shift key when dropping. The shift key tells Photoshop to center the image within the document. You can also target a specific area within a...

    How to apply shine on text

    I think you used the wrong color for your outer glow. It's too light My outcome using yellow colored (fcd801) font/text with same color (fcd801) for outer glow. White font/text with lighter colored yellow "Color Overlay" (fbe24b) in a layer style. Note: The underlying font/text colors...

    How to apply shine on text

    The same color as the font. Depending on the effect you want you can "lighten" the font color on the outer glow. When working with an "Outer Glow" on text/font, you just have to keep trying different variations until you come up with one that you like. Experiment! There is no one single answer...

    How to apply shine on text

    First one was a normal "Outer Glow" from a layer style. Here are the settings. The third one had a Gaussian Blur of 2.0 added to the text in addition to the "Outer Glow" from the layer style I show above.

    Need help replacing Telegram chat images with custom text

    Again I found this project to be challenge. I intended to explain the process so I had already started a mock up using the iPhone at about 1:30pm (Right after my first post.......which I deleted because I realized the OP wanted to know about Telegram.) Since I had already started I decided to...

    How to apply shine on text

    That depends on which example I provided that you like. Let me know and I can share the layer style settings.

    How to apply shine on text

    Sorry...........I'm not seeing a major difference. You may have to explain in detail what your after! I do see some differences that you may be referring to........ Normal Outer Glow... White Innner Glow.... Slight blur to text..... Do any of these seem to match what you are seeing?
