    mystical lighting

    I assume you mean mottled background? Looking at the site I suspect you would be better off creating the effect yourself using the clouds filter. The important thing to get right is the lighting conditions on your background should match the lighting conditions of the subject(perhaps...

    Mixed Media

    I have been looking at Terragen a bit myself. It seems quite powerful if you know what you are doing, especially if you start using a few of the plugins available for it. One neat trick is the ability to make it render masks for your scene, to be used for further image editing in Photoshop...

    Converting a folder of images...

    Record an action converting one file, and then run that action on the files in a directory. CC

    Missing dll file

    I had a look but don't appear to have that one on my system. Which suggests it is from a third-party plugin. Try un-installing whatever plugin you have, and then re-installing them to see which one is causing the problem. CC

    Anyone need this???

    Okeydokey, well I guess that the background layer has to be distorted in the same way as we distorted the text layer. I guess you could, Lighten/blur the shadow more as it gets further from the light source. But I can't spot if you are doing that. Darken the highlights as it gets further...

    Anyone need this???

    Nice tute! Here is my attempt. I think perhaps the text I used was too thin, but I guess that is the price you pay for using such a long name :-) The tute doesn't mention selecting the layer to colorize, as the layer you have just finished editing is still the edges layer. My...

    tracing hair

    Pick a channel which presents good contrast between hair and background. Duplicate the channel and try and improve that contrast using levels, curves whatever. Then turn that channel into a selection mask. You can then tidy up the mask with the pencil/ brush tools until it matches the...

    Anyone need this???

    Looks pretty sweet! If time is lean how about a brief overview of the technique rather than your usual detailed instructions. We can then refine the details between us, which should help us learn the way it works better, rather than duplicating the tute directly. CC

    NEED HELP ASAP - Project due!!

    Check that your gamma correction is set up correctly. Go to your windows control panel and run Adobe Gamma, and follow the set up instructions there. Not sure what the equivelant is on a Mac. Also have a look at the Edit->Color Settings options in photoshop. Good luck with the...

    Difference between PS 6 & 7

    Don't forget that the price of 7 will most likely drop when 8 is released. CC

    Welcome CS to PSG

    The main reason for the increasing accuracy in graphics cards is to maintain accuracy when performing blending operations commonly used in 3d rendering. The other place that it is expanding is in the gamma correction pipeline, with normal 8 bit per channel if you perform gamma correction then...

    Welcome CS to PSG

    Video cards are moving towards higher precision color. Monitors RGB signals are analog so in theory can be as precise as you need, but are in practice are limited to accuracy of the DAC on the graphics card and the component quality of the monitor, and the transfer characteristics of the...

    Larger image and take off noise, pixel dust, blur

    I am afraid their is no quick fix for this. To get rid of the noise, dust etc your best friend is probably going to be the clone tool. Select an unblemished area of similar color to the bit with the noise, and clone it over the top. Do this before trying to sharpen the image otherwise you are...

    Autumn Colors

    Ok the halos will probably be because your selection is too hard edged. THe pixels at borders between sky and clouds, or sky and temple are a bit blue from the sky, and a bit white from the clouds, so they need to have the hue adjustment applied to them slightly, but not as much as the sky. If...

    Autumn Colors

    Looking good :D Jood job on the leaves, they look great. The temple looks a bit bright, and there are Halos around the temple and the clouds, is this intentional to emphasize the religious elements?

    Autumn Colors

    I think it looks good the way it is. But if you want to make the tower more vertical, select the measuring tool (it is in the roll out under the eyedropper), and draw a line along an edge that you want to be vertical. Now select Image->Rotate Canvas->Arbitrary. Photoshop will have...

    Chromatic Aberrations.

    I am using the C2020 Zoom (getting on a bit now, but I love it!). You generally will only get the problem with very sharp changes in brightness, and (i believe) only on vertical edges. The attached image shows what I mean about the different color fringes on different edges. You can clearly...

    Chromatic Aberrations.

    I have cropped and slightly downscaled one of the photos trying to get the problem in view. Basically it is a common problem on digital cameras, at high contrast edges you get purple/blueish fringes. The cause is to do with the fact that the camera lens focuses different wavelenghts of light...

    Chromatic Aberrations.

    Does anyone have a good technique for getting rid of these? I tooks some photos at the weekend which have quite visible chromatic aberration. Cheers. CC

    Interesting?

    Cheers! Glad to be here, it seems a fairly friendly atmosphere for a newbie like myself. CC
