    Erasing Backgrounds

    Does anybody remember the selection tutorial which used a channel(s?) and the dodge and burn tools? I thought it was very clever and wanted to post it here but I've lost the link... :cry:

    first question

    Steve, If you are going to have at the lighting, try Image > Adjustments > Shadow/Highlight. Should you give that a try, be aware that when S/H loads it immediately lightens the shadows but doesn't touch the highlights. You might wish to slide the Shadow adjustment all the way down and bring up...

    hello all- just joined

    Um, I'm not a master by any means. Mostly I'm an artist of many media who is in love with the Oh Wow factor of computer graphics. Now p?tr??k could end up being a real master of Photoshop if his interest and knowledge continue to expand at the rate they are presently. ;)

    first question

    Oho! That's a clever approach, lasa. I knew someone would find an answer with Photoshop tools. I tried curves and levels without much success before I fell back on iCorrect. The big value it has is that with a few eyedropper clicks you can establish the density of color cast correction in six...

    first question

    Hi Steve Here's a 10 minute job on the image which you posted before the uplink. I used iCorrect, and then the Shadow/Highlight image adjustment in Photoshop, followed by one of my favorite sharpening tools, Focus Magic. Remember, real Photoshop experts disdain the use of 'third party plugins'...

    first question

    Steve, Post a link to the larger size and then resize a copy in Photoshop to 600dpi wide, save it as a JPEG less than 100K in file size using Save For Web..., and attach that here so we all can see it.

    first question

    Hi again steveannie. Well, your first question is a doozie! I was not able to do a particularly good job of restoring some of the original colors to that image just using Photoshop's native tools. I don't doubt that someone could, but not I in the half hour or so I was willing to spend on it. So...

    The Third Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest

    Um, dare I say, I think your spouse may be mistaken? (Of course there may be another Trader Joe's in the universe) http://www.traderjoes.com/about/index.asp In the brief history a little bit down the page, Joe Coulombe was the founder... I have friends in LA who knew him so that part of the...

    neon sign

    I think it looks great! graphikill. On my monitor the glows of all three colors are evenly matched. Any residual concern you might have with reflections won't be shared by 99% of the viewers who will only see the image you intended, I believe. Very cool! B7

    Erasing Backgrounds

    I've got to admit that I use a whole selection of techniques, depending on what the original image looks like. For example on theKeepers example above, I might have experimented with the Background eraser tool or the Magic Wand/Delete on the blue and then clean up with the Polygonal Lasso Tool...

    Photoshop Trivia Game...

    Well I've got two answers but only one does a 'guaranteed perfect' job, the other is more 'by hand'. However, I can't help but thinking I'm missing some elegant (and simpler) technique (my best way requires a couple of alpha channels). So I'll wait and see if someone else has an idea...? \:/

    Trader Joe's is a? grocery store chain which started in L.A. in 1958 (?) and now has spread to 19 states. Rather than dealing with heavily advertised goods, the chain has people who go around the world and send products back for tasting by their own people. After selection, they will buy up the...

    Photoshop Trivia Game...

    Well, I was thinking of something different. When you are working in Bitmapped or Index modes, the Normal blend mode turns into Threshold but means the same thing. It appears in the Tool Options bar when you use tools which normally have blend modes associated with them during use. Pretty...

    Updates, upgrades and new drivers

    Re: New Wacom Drivers On the download page for OS X was a link to the 'driver bulletin' which had further info... http://www.wacom.com/productsupport/bulletin/493_OSX.pdf I've installed the new Wacom drivers (for Intuous 3) and they work just fine so far.

    Updates, upgrades and new drivers

    Re: New Wacom Drivers Note that this newest driver is just a RC version (Release Candidate) which means it has passed Wacom's internal testing but isn't yet burned and bundled with their tablets. In short, this is a beta version which is expected to have no unanticipated side effects but...
