New Photoshop Tutorial From Jennifer Farley - Hand Coloring A Black And White Photo

We've added a new tutorial to Jennifer Farley's collection, this one is an easy step-by-step that will show you how to quickly hand color a photo. From the intro:

"You can hand color a black and white photograph in Photoshop in a number of ways. In this tutorial, I’m looking at how to add color by making selections and using adjustment layers. Let me preface this by saying, THIS EFFECT DOES NOT LOOK NATURAL! It will not look like a colour photograph, but is great for a retro look and can be good fun on old pictures. However, nobody will mistake it for an original color picture."

Genuine Fractals 5 Added To Top 5 List by Popular Photography
Popular Photography Magazine has named onOne Software's Genuine Fractals 5 to their Top 5 Must Have Software Programs for October 2007. Here's what they said: "Interpolation — the process of adding pixels to an image so you can view or print it bigger — should be handled with care. Using Photoshop’s Image Size dialog and its default bicubic resampling sometimes works fine, but quality can suffer if you try to go too big. The latest version of Genuine Fractals’ popular plug-in, which is accessed through Photoshop CS, CS2, or Elements 3 and 4, is simple: Open it, input the new image size you want, check the preview, crop if you like, and hit OK. We got better results from the software than we did with the same amount of upsizing in Photoshop. And because Genuine Fractals is a plug-in, you can create a Photoshop Action to enlarge in batches."

Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing Manual - Free Sample Chapter

Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing ManualBestselling author Barbara Brundage — whose day job is playing the harp — didn't plan on becoming an authority on Photoshop Elements, one the world's most popular photo-editing programs. Yet her newest publication — Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing Manual (O'Reilly, $26.39 at Amazon.com) — clearly secures Barbara's position as the premier Elements' expert.

"I'm a lowly musician, but if I can learn Elements anyone can," insists Barbara, the author of three previous books about Elements 3, 4, and 5. A few years back in 2001, Barbara chose Elements to create graphics for her new website and promo materials. She soon discovered the nifty software program also made arranging and publishing her harp music a whole lot easier. Then she got hooked on digital photography and relied on Elements to improve and organize her images.

"Fortunately, the folks at Missing Manuals know that sometimes it's easier for someone who isn't from a technical background to explain things to people who don't have a lot of technical knowledge," says Barbara about her road to authorship.

Indeed Barbara's technical knowledge combined with her appealing, down-to-earth writing style made her a perfect addition to the Missing Manual roster of authors. Founded by New York Times technology columnist David Pogue, O'Reilly's Missing Manual series specializes in producing beautifully written manuals for popular consumer software and hardware products — the book that should have been in the box.

Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing Manual provides the best possible guidance to scrapbookers, photographers at every level, budding graphic artists — anyone who wants to get the most out of the latest Elements upgrade. She clearly explains Photoshop Elements 6's exciting array of new features, including the new Quick Edit function, Windows Vista compatibility, improved RAW conversion, a handy Quick Selection Tool, and more. Under Barbara's intelligent tutelage, readers learn how to:

  • Import, organize, and fix photos quickly and easily.
  • Repair and restore old and damaged photos, and retouch any image.
  • Jazz up their pictures with dozens of filters, frames, and special effects.
  • Learn which tools the pros use — and finally understand how layers work!
  • Create collages and photo layout pages for greeting cards and other projects.
  • Get downloadable practice images and try new tricks right away.

Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing Manual progresses from simple to complex features. Those ready for the more sophisticated tools can easily jump around to learn specific techniques. As always, Barbara lets you know which Elements features work well, which don't, and why — all with a bit of wit and good humor. Adds Barbara: "Elements is wonderful software, but there's a lot going on there. I wanted to help people find their way around and to understand some of the great things they can do with the program."

Free Sample Chapter — Chapter 4: The Quick Fix
At the O'Reilly site you can find a great free sample chapter from the book — Chapter 4: The Quick Fix (PDF Format - 26 MB). From the intro:

Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing ManualWith Elements’ Quick Fix tools, you can dramatically improve the appearance of a photo with just a click or two. The Quick Fix window gathers easy-to-use tools that help adjust the brightness and color of your photos and make them look sharper. You don’t even need to understand much about what you’re doing. You just need to click a button or slide a pointer, and then decide whether you like how it looks.

If, on the other hand, you do know what you’re doing, you may still find yourself using the Quick Fix window for things like shadows and highlights because the Quick Fix gives you a before-and-after view as you work. Also, the Temperature and Tint sliders can come in very handy for advanced color tweaking, like finessing the overall color of your otherwise finished photo. You even get two tools—the Selection brush and the Magic Selection brush—to help make changes to only a certain area of your photo.

In this chapter, you’ll learn how to use all of the Quick Fix tools. You’ll also learn about what order to apply the fixes so you get the most out of these tools. If you have a newish digital camera, you may find that Quick Fix gives you all the tools you need to take your photos from pretty darn good (the way they came out of the camera) to dazzling.

Free Photoshop Brushes And Brush Tips From Stephanie

Butterflies & Trails
Free Photoshop Brushes From Stephanie - Butterflies & TrailsAnother set of vector brushes for you! These are made up of all different kinds of shapes of butterflies. Also included are dotted "trails" that kind of are meant to mark the path of the butterfly's path. But you certainly don't have to use them for that. They're also just pretty dotted swirly shapes. :)

Includes 17 butterfly shapes and 9 of the swirly trails. Most of these brush sizes are around 1000 pixels high/wide.

Download Butterflies-n-Trails Brushes.

Brush Tip
Ever wonder how people make a brush "fade out" as the stroke continues? Almost like real paint would? Here's a quick tip on how to do just that.

Select a basic, round brush with your brush preset picker. About 15 pixels or so would be a good size. Now, click on the "Brushes" tab on the upper right of your Photoshop working space (or hit F5). Click on "Shape Dynamics." Make sure that Size Jitter, Minimum Diameter, Angle Jitter, and Roundness Jitter are all at 0%. The controls after Angle Jitter and Roundness Jitter should also say "Off."

Now, next to the Control under "Size Jitter", click the small arrow on the right and select "Fade." In that small box to the right of it, put in a number. Say 50 or 100. Depending on how long your line is. This value is how many pixels out you want the line to go for before it fades out completely.

Now take that brush and paint on your canvas! You'll see it "fade out" as it goes on. What it's technically doing is become smaller and smaller until the brush size is 0px. You can also make it actually fade out. Instead of (or in addition to) clicking on "Shape Dynamics," click on "Other Dynamics" under the Brush tab menu.

Set everything to 0% and "off" as before. Under the Opacity Jitter slider, change the "Control" on that to "Fade." Then in the small box to the right of it, put in a value like you did before. 50 or 100 pixels, something like that. This works the same way, but it will actually fade out instead of just getting smaller. They each have their different uses, and also work great together!

Dripping Photoshop Brushes
Photoshop tips and Photoshop tutorials by Jennifer Apple Whee! I had some fun with my paints! This set of Photoshop brushes is made up of various drips... and while it was made with paint, it would work for blood or any other non-clear liquid, really. These come in a variety of shapes and sizes, all the way up to 2500 pixels high/wide in some cases.

While making this set, I also made about a billion paint splotches/spatters that I'll make into brushes sometime within the next few weeks, as well. Download Dripping Photoshop Brushes.

Random Brush Tip
If you want to rotate a brush, there are two ways to do it. You can put it on its own layer, and then choose Edit > Transform > Rotate and move it around that way.

Or even BETTER... you can change the orientation/rotation of a brush before you even use it! Here's how... Have your brush tool selected, with the brush you're wanting to use loaded. Click on the "Brushes" tab in the upper right area of your Photoshop window (F5 will also open it). Click on "Brush Tip Shape."

Now, you'll see an area where there's a circle with a crosshair through it, with an arrow on one side of the crosshair. Say that you want to rotate your brush about 40 degrees to the right. You can either type in "-40" into the "Angle" area, or you can click on the arrow part of that crosshair and rotate it around to where you want it to be. You can check how your brush looks in the preview area beneath!

There's also the options for Flip X and Y, which... well, basically flip the brush horizontally or vertically. That's handy for adding borders to something, like if you have a corner brush that's made for the upper right corner and you want to also use it in the upper left... just Flip X, and voila! Hope this helps!

Eyeshadow Photoshop Brushes
Photoshop tips and Photoshop tutorials by Jennifer AppleThis set of Photoshop brushes is made up of various shapes of eyeshadow. It includes just about every one of the traditional eye shadow shapes, either broken up into individual brushes... or all together. It also includes various glittery effects, patterned eye makeup, and face painting styled eye accents (a butterfly and a swirl).

It should make your Photoshop makeup applications much easier and more fun, without having to resort to the plain old one-color-without-much-shape shadow job.

Brushes are included for both the right and left eyes (so it's actually 26 unique brushes), for your convenience. These are tons of fun to play with, so enjoy! Download Eyeshadow Photoshop Brushes.

Brush Tip
With this set, I would suggest putting each of the eyeshadow "parts" on its own layer. Then, you can play around with the colors individually. Also, you'll be able to choose various layer blending styles. You'll find that the layer styles can make a vast difference on how realistic these look!

To change the layer blending style, look at the top area of your layers palette. There will be a dropdown menu on the left side - it will start out saying "Normal". Click on the arrow next to that and select the various kinds of blending styles from the dropdown menu.

Using the right kind of blending style can help ensure that the shadow doesn't look like it's somehow "on top" of the person's lashes. My suggestions to check out, in particular: multiply, screen, overlay, hard/soft light, color, and hue. Hope this helps!

Best Compact Digital Camera Ever? The Canon PowerShot G9

Is the new Canon PowerShot G9 the best compact digital camera around? Quite possibly, yes. I cherish my beloved Digital Rebel — my Rebel is my work horse and my buddy — but lots of times I'd rather have something less bulky, and the Canon G9 looks like the solution. As far as pricing goes, the Canon PowerShot G9 is inexpensive at $499 for what it offers.

Adobe Photoshop On Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Is Good To Go

John Nack has posted the following info on Photoshop and Leopard compatibility to his blog: "The good news is that most Adobe apps don't require updates in order to run well. That is, the CS3 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and other apps are good to go for Leopard right now. Rock out."

Adobe Photoshop On Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Is Good To GoHe quotes some FAQ items from the Leopard Read Me files, then goes on to say: "I can't speak for other app teams, but while we naturally concentrated our testing on Photoshop CS3 (and beyond), we also tested CS2 a fair bit. The only significant problem we discovered is that Photoshop's Web Photo Gallery module can crash while running under Leopard. We plan to post an updated version that fixes the crash, but that won't go up until Monday. In case you're impatient, I've attached the file here. And that, in a nutshell, is it. Have fun." You can also monitor what's going on with users by reading through the comments on his blog.

For install advice, head over to the tech blog of Adobe's Terry White and read through The Road to Leopard - Part 1. Terry has a very smart system to make sure you protect yourself when installing Leopard. He suggests using an external boot drive to handle the new system install and tells you how to do it.

For more on compatibility issues, read The Road to Leopard - Part 2. In this post he says: "Now for the news that many of you have been waiting for: Adobe Creative Suite 3 compatibility is GREAT! A few of the apps (Acrobat 8 Professional, Premiere Pro CS3, After Effects CS3, Soundbooth CS3 and Encore CS3) will need dot releases and those dot releases are in the works. The dot releases are mostly to fix minor issues."

On the Adobe site you can find an official Adobe Leopard statement in PDF that has all the timelines for future updates. You can find extensive Leopard coverage at the MacWorld site, and to keep on top of the latest issues, visit the Adobe User To User Forums and the Apple Leopard Support Forums.
