    Please help with Dark photos

    There is more information in your picture than you are realizing. The example here shows there is a lot of detail still left in the shadows that you may not have brought out. The real trick is to lighten without color shifts or blowing out the highlights. There are a lot of artifacts, but...

    Stumped

    Ferlin If the shop uses an older laser or Vector cutting laser only, it will probably require a CAD format. If the laser drivers are New generation, ie Laser built in last 5 years or so, they work like a printer in terms of how they handle output from computers. This means that whatever format...

    Here is a try at this technique. The Todd Johnson web site is an inspiration to me in the same way that Ansel Adams photography is an inspiration to B&W photographers. While I do not profess to have the technique or skills of Mr Johnson, I am begining to see a lot of potential in this...

    Making a solar system? (or a bunch of very nice stars)

    Thanks Ranger72 I tried the technique for the quickie starfield. I think it is very interesting and it is quick. I also added a "Nova" from a Snowflake generator program to give the eye somewhere to go. BTW- is 72 the year you went in or the year you got out(or neither)? Airborne shreck

    Digital 'vs' Traditional?

    I have Canon D60 digital SLR and it has transformed my photography. One method of taking a single great photograph is to take a lot of bad photographs in between. It is not unusual to take 50-100 pictures in a day and delete 45 of them at night. This used to bother me, but not anymore. I come...

    Laser Engraving with PhotoShop

    Have you ever asked a pro why (s)he uses Corel? I have asked Laser Manufacturers representatives(Universal and Epilog) and laser engravers why they would use Paint over Photoshop and the biggest reason is that they don't know how to use Photoshop. That should change in the future with the...

    Path Stroke Orientation

    When Stroking a Path with a Brush, is there a way to have a custom brush follow the path at a particular angle (90 degrees for instance) to the path? For instance, if you stroked a rectangle, have the brush paint at 90 deg. to the line, instead of having the brush always in the same...

    18% Grey Card question

    18% Grey Card Thanks for the information. An 18% Grey card is very important in Photography and yet I had never found any information about how PS treats it. It's the only known color I have ( I have an 18% card) that I am sure is an accurate color. I would like to see if my printer...
