    How do I get this soft light effect on my photos?

    Histograms never lie. Paste any of those images into Photoshop and open a Curves (or even a levels) adjustment layer and check the shape of its histogram. You will see there are no blacks in the images. The lady in a grey bra (a little joke there) has no pixels below 40. That's (40/256)*100...

    adjust old photo made on bromportrait paper

    Try Google with Photoshop FFT filter (Stands for Fast Fourier Transformation) It works like magic when it does.

    Camera Strap Banner

    I used 'few months' because I couldn't remember for sure exactly how many, but it was definitely no more than six months. He likes to shoot rugby, and takes a LOT of frames, but I have seen him on camera club field trips using a spray and pray approach to landscapes. I have told more than once...

    Camera Strap Banner

    A request from a young lad from our camera club. He is 16, and keener than a ceramic edged knife. In fact, come to think of it, he actually wore out the shutter on a 60D taking >100,000 exposures in just a few months. He was lucky to get it fixed free of charge IMHO. Anyway, I present you...

    Desolate Poster

    Excellent perspective Inkz. By what I think is no more than the sizing of the pyramids, you have created a fully three dimensional composition. Maybe the TomRoss coloured version has a tiny bit more impact? I am also visualizing the beams crossing in the same place with a star burst.

    Brushes Best Resources for Photoshop Brushes

    Google specific new sets as I need them - I wouldn't want to exclude any source from my search. But apart from Deviant Art, Adobe Exchange is a major source at least as good as Deviant Art. https://www.adobeexchange.com/

    The Best Photoshop Resources

    The problem with the likes of Deke McCelland, CVory Barker, Scott Kelby, Matt Kloskowski, and even Russell Brown (perhaps not Russell Brown - you'd have to give the guy who makes the software credit for knowing how to use it), is that they are educators. Their prime function is to write books...

    Quality Control Yourself

    Spectrum, a lot of the blame can be laid on the colleges or polytechnics or whatever institutions roll out fresh ‘graphic designers’ onto the market. I can sit here and think of several examples of people who make me cringe that they dare to call themselves professional photographers and...

    Illustrator Clipping mask stopped working?

    Is there a selection or two involved in your process above? It doesn't sound as if you have anything to clip.

    Just don't get us started on 'Fine Art' photography. I mean what the heck does that mean anyway?!

    Adobe Security Breach

    In case you are not aware, Adobe have just announced that they have been seriously hacked http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2013/10/important-customer-security-announcement.html If you'd like to make a comment to people who actually count, then Adobe have set up a forum dedicated to...

    Quality Control Yourself

    I bet that is true of so many half decent Photoshoppers. I also bet it will take a lot less time nowadays to get a good grip on Photoshop with forums like this, and the wealth of excellent video tutorials from Lynda.com, Photoshop User TV, Video2brain (my favourite) tutsplus, Total Training...

    Sizing images in photoshop

    If you don't get in touch with the printer re the bleed size, make sure you let them know what size you have used.

    Sizing images in photoshop

    You might need to ask the printer what size they would like for bleed. It might be anything from a couple of millimeters to a quarter inch. (Excuse the mixed units) When you have that figure, create your new document exactly 6 x 4 by 300dpi, and immediately copy the BG to a new layer. Now...

    Help make this photo more real

    Well you need one of those strap thingies that go under the horse to stop the saddle falling off. I have a few hundred horsey images in these two sets if it helps. You are welcome to use any of them. http://www.flickr.com/photos/trevor-dennis/sets/72157632029442920/...

    Wrapping text around images - help, thanks.

    It is really risky cutting and pasting from a word processing app like Word. Especially with two different companies involved. You are OK using something InCopy, which id obviously another Adobe product, but if you want to compose the bulk of the text in Word, either cut and paste into...

    Quality Control Yourself

    I belong to a thriving camera club We have more than 90 members in a town with a population of just 26,000 people. I have seen so many new members start with moderate skills, but in less than six months, become very accomplished photographers with the help of other more experienced club...

    Photoshop CS6 - Document Image Size & Layer Size Problem - Need Help!

    One way to open a bunch of images into the same project, is via Bridge. Select all the files - which need to be in the same mode (RGB, Greyscale etc.) - and go Tools > Photoshop > Open in Photoshop layers. But it is good to have more control of your image size, so I would start with the most...

    Turn Image Into Pencil Sketch

    My favourite way of doing this is the Topaz Simplyfy filter. You can a full function 30 day trial if want to give it a go. The trick is that once you have used the filter, set a soft brush to Overlay mode, and paint with White to remove the faint lines, and black to strengthen the dark lines...

    How do I get this effect?

    If you are happy for the white ares to remain white - as on the right - then add a layer > fill it with your colour of choice and set its blend mode to Color. If you want the colour to cover the whole image > add a layer and go Edit > Fill > 50% Grey and set the blend mode to Multiply. Then do...
