    blurry edges when making selections

    Hello Lee and welcome to the forum. Just a note, there is no "Selection Tool" in Ps. There are many tools that can make selections. It will help if you let us know exactly which tool you're using to make your selections. My guess is that all of the Marquee and Lasso Tools you may be using to...

    Using the Brush tool.... speed of applying has slowed down....

    I assume, based on your images that you're actually referring to the Brush Tool. So I changed your title. As a rule, Ps just doesn't change suddenly. There's usually something or an event the precedes a change. Anything happen? What's your smoothing set on? It should be 0%. Smoothing will...

    Kookaburra! Another study done!

    Thanks Jeff! Yes, just like traditional brush and paint, digital is the same. Other than a few minor differences, one being layers, the digital process of painting is still about using a brush to apply color to a surface.

    Chrome green

    I now see what you are trying to do. You're trying to make a graphic on a car skin (for a game) appear to look like green chrome. Originally, I was thinking it was just for a single car image because that's what you posted as a sample. Nowhere in your OP did you state it was for a graphic on a...

    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...
