    Graphics Card Replacement For GT620

    My desktop has a NVidia GeForce GT 620 that is now out of date. Websearching finds many recommendations for replacements, but most are older posts. Most of the sites on graphic cards are about gaming or video processing, and I don't do any type of gaming or video processing. I use Photoshop...

    Post Processing Restricting the Patch

    When I use the Clone tool, I can use the polygonal lasso to create a "fence" around where the cloned parts will be placed. This allows me to clone to a precise area. There are times that I'd rather use the patch tool instead of the clone tool, but when I create that "fence", it disappears...

    Dublin boy

    With some time on my hands, I played around with some old photos using a different processing technique. This photo was taken in Dublin, Ireland in 1969. Rather than going for just B&W, I used ADJUSTMENTS>THRESHOLD, but with different settings on each layer to bring out parts on the layer...

    Specific Window Treatment

    This photograph is for a calendar and will be rendered in Black & White, but I'm working on the color version before I convert it to B&W with a layer mask. The problem is the two-paned middle window. The detail in the windows, and the darkness of the window, stand out too much. I'm a...

    Cartoon - Remove Photo Blue

    My son draws cartoons on a sketch pad, scans them, brings them into Photoshop 22.3.1 (64 bit Windows using Adobe's subscription plan). and sometime adds effects or colors. He currently does a rough sketch in pencil and then inks the sketch. He has to erase the pencil lines, and that takes a...

    Help with skin tones

    I'm an experienced user of Photoshop (using CC 2015 at present), but on photos that have never required any adjustment of skin tones. The type of things that I usually photograph don't involve skin tones. However, a new grandchild has changed this. Daughter-in-law is snapping photos of the...

    Computer for CC 2015

    Lately, everything is running slow. CS 2015 PS and LR take forever to load, and there are delays in PS when using tools. LR is slow. PS crashes fairly frequently, but on loading and not when working on an image. I may have outgrown my computer: HP P6-2100, AMD A4-3420 APU w/radeon hd...

    Replace a Wacom Bamboo - What with?

    My Wacom Bamboo CTE 450 seems to have died, so I'm looking for a replacement. Looking at Wacom's site, all the emphasis is to drawing. I don't do that. I use the pen in editing in PS CS 2014, and primarily when I'm editing a Layer Mask. Further, I have no interest in the "touch" functions or...

    Refine Edge Problem

    Using CC2014, when I use the Quick Selection tool, and then try to us Refine Edge and the Refine Radius brush, the brush will not open. Instead, I get that circle with a slash where the brush should be. In the tutorials, the brush works. Not for me. Simple setting error?

    Tutorial on distorted text?

    Can you point me to a tutorial on distorting text in PS CC 2014? I've been asked, by a friend, to do a postcard like project that uses photos behind text as done in the image attached of a billboard here in town. The word is "FAIR", not "Orlando" as in the sign. I know how to create the open...

    Deckled edge

    I wanted to add a deckled edge to a photograph to give it the appearance of an old print. There are a zillion tutorials online on how to do this that show several different methods. I chose one that works, but I wonder what is your favorite in CS 2014?

    Best way to change backgrounds

    OK, now I'm asking for help.What technique have the Gurus here used to change the backgrounds in their submissions? While I have CC 2014, I tend to use older methods using Layer Masks and exposing what is underneath. I've done that for years. I rarely use the newer Content-Aware Fill in...

    What's with "Program Error"?

    Recently, using CC 2014 V 14.2.1.x32 (Windows) when trying to use some tools, I can't. Program error, it says. It's happened trying to open the clone tool, the eyedropper, and something else but I can't remember what. It's not a permanent problem. Closing and re-opening the file or...

    Actions?

    I used to use quite a few Actions for special effects. Now, with Nik and OnOne, I create "favorite" effects instead. I haven't used Actions for this for quite some time. Are Actions for certain effects (ie: Dragan) used much anymore? Anyone have any Actions or Action sites they recommend...

    Layer Mask Technique

    Using PSCC(2014) and a Wacom tablet, when I use a layer mask to cut out an area with the intent of allowing something else to show in the cut out area, I can get nice, precise lines. However, I don't always want nice, precise edges. For example, this image is of a model train layout. Using a...
