    What is Grayscale?

    Not quite sure what you're asking, but "grayscale" is simply a range of luminosities with no hue. Starting with black as it blends gradually into white. No color. Color palette is simply a set group of different colors. Very much so like a painter's palette, which might have red, blue, and...

    Is there a way to use the "Detail" adjustment w/o using HDR Toning?

    Thank you so much, Steve!! That opened up new doors. Also, in googling for some more info on the High Pass filter, I came across this: Ron Bigelow Photography Articles There's a few articles on the various sharpening methods a Photoshopper has if you scroll down, for anyone else who wants to...

    Is there a way to use the "Detail" adjustment w/o using HDR Toning?

    Yeah, I do try to replicate my original lighting by fixing Exposure, Gamma and whatnot, but it's too much trial and error and I'd rather have my original fix. I was trying to do sharpen the image. And I completely thought Smart Sharpen was considered the greatest thing ever by people. Can you...

    Is there a way to use the "Detail" adjustment w/o using HDR Toning?

    I found the "Detail" slider in HDR Toning to be pretty powerful in bringing out... well, details. In many cases, it does what I'd want Smart Sharpen to do. Smart Sharpen creates sharpening halos and noise way too easily, but I notice altering the Detail feature in HDR Toning doesn't. However...

    How to make cartoonish like picture?

    As far as being limited to Photoshop goes, this is the only tutorial that I've found (then again, I haven't looked that hard) that produces clean, professional looking results. However, in truth the results greatly depend on your level of perception and/or perfectionism. Also, you DID mention...

    Problem using HDR Toning in CS5

    Hi, I keep trying to apply the HDR Toning adjustment to my photo, but it isn't working as I expected it to. I get the preview screen in the HDR Toning window to look exactly as I want it, yet when I press "OK" the image becomes severely desaturated and underexposed. What's wrong? At first I...

    Photoshop tutorial: Whiten Teeth and Brighten Smile

    It's a good method that I used to use, but it's destructive. It'd be hard to edit the whitening later in your work if you decide to change something. You could instead duplicate the layer, mask the duplicate except for the mouth area, then use the sponge & dodge tools on the duplicate layer. A...

    My own tips on facial retouching

    EDIT: A month and a half later, I've learned much more professional techniques. This thread was completely amateur and helped spread amateur retouching techniques that would never pass in the professional industry. If you want to become a better retoucher, I suggest RetouchPRO forums and...

    Create a Diminishing line

    Is there something I'm not getting here? It sounds very much like you need to use the Pen tool. Draw a straight line path with the pen. Go to your brush settings and change the size to 3 px. Go to the "Shape Dynamics" tab and set it to "Pen Pressue" in the drop down box. Change minimum diameter...

    Help on printing pop art

    I want to print pop art (like the one attached) in a very good quality. The problem is, I don't know anything about printing. Is there a good tutorial that explains what would be the best paper, adjustments (like RGB -> CMYK), etc. for amateurs with no expensive equipment? I have a Samsung...

    Having trouble with CS5's Edge Detection tool

    Sorry, I thought you had posted that about not being able to see the image in my OP. The image is at the bottom of my other thread: photoshopgurus.com/forum/general-photoshop-board/27041-whats-better-airbrushing-face-gaussian-blur-filter-reduce-noise-filter.html

    Having trouble with CS5's Edge Detection tool

    That's a bit disheartening. Could you elaborate on the channel masking part? Seems useful, but I'm not quite sure what you're saying to do.

    What's better for airbrushing a face: Gaussian Blur filter or Reduce Noise filter?

    This is my finished product (well, I actually had another version before this, but since then I have learned a lot more, including Gaussian's subtle yet awesome advice): (edit: I improved it a bit) The nose and the left eye are still a bit too glowy / hazy. The lips are bordering on that...

    Having trouble with CS5's Edge Detection tool

    I've watched like 3-4 videos on it which seem to do it perfectly (one of them had a pretty complex background), yet when I follow exactly what they advise I get blurred edges on my selection with speckles and pieces of my original selection get covered. I try to brush over it with the Edge...
