    Compositing a picture, what approach your recomend

    Hello Photoshop Gurus, I haven't been using PS enough to be good at it yet. I've got a picture for which I'd like to remove the ugly sign in the upper right background. Since the sign is on the fence, I'd like to preserve the pattern of the fence. Yet since its soft focus, it makes it more...

    Filters adjust spin blur on car tires

    Hey all, So I'm retouching a vintage car I took last summer. Essentially I’m creating motion blur. In order not for the car edges not to blur on the background, I clone stamped the edges before applying the motion blur and then adding the car back on top. I'm having a similar issue with one...

    Hey all, Ok, I watched a tutorial on how to combine layer masks. It's simple; select the mask in the Layer panel and reveal selection (cmd + click). Then do shift+cmd+click on the second mask. Then create a new mask with those active selections. My issue is that I'm able to select the first...

    Motion bluring

    Hey there, I'm doing a background motion blur effect on this picture. I've cut out the car and applied a motion blur only to the background. But I can see that around the car there is a halo. I think it's because the motion blur is also getting the car in the background which is underneath...

    Reducing opacity on only part of a picture

    Hello there, I've got this data table. I was able to add highlight on the top line by making a mask of the area. I want to lower the opacity of the bottom part. My issue is that if I make a mask of that area and try to apply a fill or opacity it doesn't change. Perhaps I need to change the...
