    Coloring Issue

    Try changing the blend mode to "Hue" which will not take into account the saturation or luminosity of the color (or hue more correctly) you choose. The luminosity and saturation will come from the layer below.

    Removing Invisible Objects (not layers!)

    I am assuming that the entire logo with the black background is done on a single pixel layer. If that is the case, there is no quick way of eliminating the black background. That said, if the logo is not too intricate, a nice selection can easily be made and other background colors can be shown...

    cs2 and cr2 problems with new canon 1100d

    I wanted to list the options for the record, I am surprised that the DNG conversion is not working. The file name should not be a problem as the camera creates the file name and DNG converter should be familiar with that. Is there any foreign characters in the folder name like a dotted I, or s...

    cs2 and cr2 problems with new canon 1100d

    Oh-oh! I just posted a message that disappeared, here it goes again. Tarik (merhaba!), you have a couple of options from free to lower cost than a full upgrade. The problem lies in CS2 Adobe Camera RAW not having your new camera format in the supported list and it will never be. 1. Download...

    Matte colors

    That was one reason why I did not want to use a selection but let the color selections handle it for me.

    Matte colors

    loveforvdubs2, you can download the PSD file from the following URL, but here is the process: 1. I enhanced the reds using selective color for easy pick up later on, I did not want to use any selections as it would likely leave red halos 2. The second layer is a Hue & Saturation layer in which I...

    Matte colors

    I presume you disapprove the treatment dv8_fx? Would you care to elaborate? There are actually 5 separate adjustment layers the opacity of each can be adjusted according to taste and need. Matte paint would not have created the heavy specular highlights creating the dull look.

    Matte colors

    Perhaps something like this? Matte surface, less reflective, weaker highlights if any, small tonal changes to shape contours. That's what I aimed for.
