    Photoshop shortcuts to navigate layers

    If you're using a wacom tablet, you can set the button on the pen to function as "rotate canvas". So whenever you hold down the button, the rotate tool will be active and you can rotate the canvas. When you release the button, it goes back to the tool you were using before. There is a second...

    PC for Photoshop layer work with large and very large files

    If you're working with files of 8GB and up, with 100 layers... it's safe to say you're going to need the highest-end hardware available. Basically you're going to have to max out on all the options you asked about, in other words get the best video card on the market, the most RAM your computer...

    How to achieve this lighting effect?

    there's no "filter" or "auto method" to achieve this. It's artistic, manually hand-painted airbrush techniques. What irks me is the vast majority of Photoshop users are looking for auto-methods to do everything for them. There is an incredibly massive world of manual painting capabilities...

    Question about using my Intuos4

    this has always been a problem with the Intuos4. You can try two things: Use the polygonal lasso tool instead or create a new layer ontop and lower its opacity to 75% on this layer, choose a hard brush at 100% opacity, and draw ontop of the area you want to select. In other words, paint...

    Customized Toolbar For Photoshop Now Available

    no, you need to just download the software on their site and install it. You then create your own toolbar using that software. It's compatible with any program that has keyboard shortcut functionality. Not sure if it works on a mac, you'll need to ask them. They're extremely helpful and will...

    Using a tablet/pen in PS?

    excellent move. you're going to be amazed by the precision and pressure sensitivity of the tablet. Say goodbye to your mouse, you'll never use it again for Photoshop. That said, you can also use the tablet for everything on your computer, not just photoshop. whatever you use a mouse for on your...

    Using a tablet/pen in PS?

    I've said this many times before. You're totally wasting your time using a mouse with Photoshop. When you get a tablet, you'll unleash the true power of Photoshop. But if you continue to use a mouse, you're experiencing a very low percentage of what the program is actually able to do. It was...

    Pen tool simulate brush pressure NOT working?

    1. select any brush, such as the basic round hard brush. 2. go into the brush pallet, and make sure "transfer" has a checkmark beside it. Then, click on this same word "transfer" so it highlights in gray. 3. In the upper right, beneath "Opacity Jitter", it says Control: (and then whatever it is...

    stroking path tapereed effect issue

    When using a mouse with photoshop, pressure sensitivity is disabled. (from what I remember, anyhow. It's been over a decade since I used a mouse with it but I'm pretty sure you can't access pressure sensitivity with a mouse) This may be why it won't simulate pressure, even when stroking a path...

    so confused!!!

    just un-check color dynamics, then you should get a straight black brush. To keep it this way, make sure you have this brush selected, right-click on your canvas, hit the little arrow in the top-right hand corner of the pop-up window that appears, choose 'new brush preset...' then give it a...

    CS5 + Intuos 3 tablet + Windows 7 = strange brush problem Help!

    as far as the problem goes, it sounds to me that you're selecting to pen tool instead of the brush tool. Make sure you're on the BRUSH tool, then try drawing on the tablet. There should be no anchor points appearing; they only appear when using the pen tool. The straight line you're referring...

    CS5 + Intuos 3 tablet + Windows 7 = strange brush problem Help!

    you can easily install another card - and it's recommended,. Open GL is an important feature; it allows you to rotate your canvas amongst other things. Just get another video card ($100 or less video card would be just fine), plug it into the PCI slot, then disable you onboard video in the...

    Photoshop CS5 (Mac) crashes when trying to open or create new files.

    This has happened to me many, many times in the past. Each time it was due to hard drive failure. This is a caution to you: back up your data, immediately. It may not be hard drive failure, but just in case it is, back your stuff up. It will go on for a while yet, until it becomes worse and...

    Whats the best and easiest way to "spruce" up a picture?

    for starters I would lessen the contrast a bit, the shadows are too dark on the faces and clothes. (not so much on the first one though) then go back to the client and ask them what do they mean by "pretty it up".. they need to be more specific and tell you exactly what they want you to do or...
