Photoshop Tip - Use The Clone Stamp Tool To Sample From Different Photos
December 29, 2010
Enjoy this free photo-editing tip from Photoshop Daily and improve your Photoshop skills. The Clone Stamp tool is usually used for removing an imperfect area of a photo. This handy tip shows how it can be used to create a whole new area.
This is a nice picture of a birthday party but unfortunately the camera has caught the girl on the right in mid-blink. There is no source information in this picture that can be used to sort this out, but there is another picture from the party that can do the trick.
This image has the girl with her eyes open and will be used to fix the original image. With both images open at the same time, it’s simply a case of selecting the Clone Stamp tool and then Alt-clicking (PC) or Option-clicking (Mac) on the area to clone from. In our case it was the eye area. Now go back to your original image and click on the area to change. The source information from the second picture will appear.
And here is the final result – eyes all open! When dealing with a small area like eyes, try and do it in one click. Of course, you can use this technique to clone in larger areas – maybe a flower field in a landscape, or some clouds in a sky.

Photoshop Tip - Mimic A Slow Shutter Speed With Motion Blur
December 29, 2010
Enjoy this free photo-editing tip from Photoshop Daily and improve your Photoshop skills — you don’t have to be a great photographer to achieve impressive results. This quick tip reveals how the Motion Blur filter can replicate a classic camera effect.
Getting to grips with the various Blur filters will really help you to move your artwork forward. If you lock a camera on a tripod and set it to a slow shutter speed, only moving objects will look blurred. This is a great way to create impressionistic motion blur effects, but it can be tricky to shoot. If you have too slow a shutter speed you can over-expose the shot, for example. Take a well-exposed sharp shot and pop it into Photoshop and you can get the same effect with a lot less hassle. We take you through the best way to use this tool, so open up any image of your own (a busy street scene does work rather well for this) and try out these three steps.
Open your source file. Press F7 to activate the Layers palette. Now drag the background layer thumbnail onto the Create New Layer icon to create a copy. Target the duplicated layer. Go to Filter>Blur>Motion Blur. Set Angle to 0, Distance to 46 pixels and click OK.
Click the Add a Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers palette. Target the layer mask by clicking its thumbnail and go to Image>Adjustments> Invert to make the mask look black. The blurred layer will be transparent.
Grab the Brush tool (B) and pick a soft brush in the Brush picker. Set the foreground colour to white. Click the mask thumbnail to activate it and paint over the figures in your scene. As you paint you’ll reveal the motion blur effect from the masked layer.
Motion blur effects in Photoshop Elements
If you have version 8 or earlier of Photoshop Elements, you will be bereft of layer masks, however, you can achieve a similar result by blurring a duplicate layer and then using the Erase tool to remove most of the blurred pixels. All that should remain are the blurred people, so in theory you should be able to create exactly the same special effect without using layer masks.

Photoshop Tip - Improve Images With Color Burn
December 27, 2010
Enjoy this free photo-editing tip from Photoshop Daily and improve your Photoshop skills — here's a clever way of quickly adding pop to an image.
For a quick way of getting the heavily saturated images you sometimes see in adverts, use the Color Burn blending mode. This mode darkens colours and boosts contrast, and looks particularly good when applied to landscape shots. Simply duplicate your original photo, change the mode to Color Burn and see what you end up with. If it’s too strong, reduce the Opacity slider.

Photoshop Tip - How To Get Straight Lines When Using The Gradient Tool
December 27, 2010
Enjoy this free photo-editing tip from Photoshop Daily and improve your Photoshop skills — a clever trick that is just the thing for improving skies in landscapes.
How To Get Straight Lines When Using The Gradient Tool
There are plenty of times when you need to use an accurate gradient across your image. For example, maybe you will want to fake a filter effect by using a coloured gradient on the horizon of a landscape photo. When drawing with a tool like the Gradient tool, it can be quite tricky to draw in a perfectly vertical or horizontal line and this can make your effect look a little off. This means that you will end up with gradients that have a tilted horizon. Hold down the Shift key as you draw with the Gradient tool and this will constrain the cursor to draw a straight horizontal or vertical line for perfect results.

Photoshop Tip - How To Edit Shadows Using The Curves Command
December 27, 2010
Enjoy this free photo-editing tip from Photoshop Daily and improve your Photoshop skills.
How To Edit Shadows Using The Curves Command
When you adjust an RGB image’s levels using the Curves dialog box to make the shot lighter or darker, you can inadvertently change the value of the colours in the image as well as its contrast. To limit the changes to just the black pixels, go to Image>Mode>CMYK Color. Instead of only three channels you’ll now have access to an extra Black channel, enabling you to tweak the black levels without altering colours.

High Key Portrait - Mark Galer Photoshop Tutorial - High Key Effect
December 20, 2010
In this tutorial Mark Galer shows you how to create the classic High Key look, using a combination of simple lighting and some judicious Photoshop techniques.
High Key is one of the classic looks in photographic portraiture. The look is ‘clean’ and ‘light’ and the images have very few midtones or shadows. The darker tones that remain serve to shape the contours and define important details. If the treatment is clumsily done the image will just look like it has been badly overexposed. To avoid this disaster the final image must display bright highlights that are not clipped (overexposed) and the darker details must have depth and weight.
Before and After. Photography by Ed Purnomo
The camera technique is relatively simple – just photograph your sitter using a large soft light or window light. Choose a light background and ask your sitter to wear light-coloured clothing. The rest of the treatment can be created in Photoshop. Unfortunately there is no single adjustment feature or filter that provides the High Key look. A sequence of adjustments and simple masking techniques can, however, deliver the goods every time. The resulting histogram will look like all the levels are making friends with the right-hand wall. Let the show begin.

Top Safety Tips for Protecting Digital Image Files
December 14, 2010
With the advent of digital photography and flash memory, a whole new set of potential problems has evolved for photographers. DriveSavers Data Recovery Engineer, Chris Bross, has assembled the following list of tips on how to handle flash memory cards properly and help prevent the potential loss of precious photographs. (If you use DriveSavers services, mention discount Code DS20159 and receive a 10% Discount on your invoiced recovery fee.)
BACK UP YOUR IMAGES — Protect yourself and your irreplaceable images by backing up onto CD, DVDs, tapes, online storage or an external hard drive. This will help guard against data loss when (not if) your hard drive crashes unexpectedly.
TRANSFER YOUR PHOTOS — Copy the image files from the camera's flash memory to a computer's hard drive a soon as you can. We recommend not deleting images or reformatting the memory card while it is still in the camera. Wait until all photos are transferred and verified.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS — Take care when removing flash memory from the camera or card reader. Avoid deleting or corrupting images by using the eject command on the computer or moving the card icon from the desktop to the trash/recycle bin before physically removing the card.
VERIFY THE TRANSFER — Open the images on the hard drive before reformatting the card.
MAKE MORE THAN ONE COPY — Back up your backup media and keep a duplicate offsite in a secure location.
PROTECT YOUR FLASH MEMORY CARDS — Use the plastic holder when carrying them around. Simple static buildup can zap the card and make it unreadable. There are other dangers as well, such as breaking a card in your pocket or putting the card, along with your clothing, in the wash.
REPLACE YOUR FLASH MEMORY CARDS — Typically, flash memory cards can be used about 1,000 times before they start to wear out.
AVOID EXTREME TEMPERATURES — Heat, cold and humidity can wreak havoc with digital equipment, especially flash memory.
If you do suffer a disaster, and it involves not being able to retrieve images from your digital camera's memory card, you can try PhotoRescue. PhotoRescue 3.0 is an advanced data-recovery program for digital photography media. Whether you've erased your pictures, formatted your card by mistake, or you've experienced a serious crash, PhotoRescue can help.
You can download the following demos and discover what PhotoRescue can recover for you. If you are happy with the result previews, purchase from within the demo and the full version will start to work on your lost photos and media cards.

Advanced Photoshop Tutorial - The Refinery
December 15, 2010
Here is a new Photoshop tutorial from PSD Magazine: The Refinery by Benoit Ladouceur. (Download the December 2010 issue of PSD Photoshop Magazine and use the source files.)
For this tutorial I decided to go for the other side of my artistic life and cover some of the techniques I use in my special FX work as a digital matte painter. Matte painting is very similar to illustration, the main difference is that you usually spend 50% more time building the feeling of realism instead of letting your imagination run wild.
This realism quest is very long, tedious and very energy consuming. In order to speed up the process I usually use a more organized approach that includes a lot of 3D elements. On top of accelerating the perspective and layout, 3D is also a life saver when you have retakes on a tight production deadline... you just rerender a few 3D layers and update your Photoshop files instead of starting again from scratch.
Read the full Photoshop tutorial, The Refinery.

Russell Brown Video Tutorial On Covering Up Unwanted Objects In Photos With Photoshop
December 13, 2010
From creativepro.com: "Photoshop How-To: When You Can't Cut It Out, Cover It Up. "You could call these Photoshop techniques "masking without masking". They're great for those times when it's impossible to mask out unwanted objects in your photos.
Written by Russell Brown. When masking gets tough, sometimes just covering up the problem is the only solution. Photographer Scott Copeland presented me with a wedding photo that was perfect -- except for the beer bottle and speaker interrupting the mood. The healing brush worked on the beer bottle, but the speaker was a much bigger challenge. The healing brushes couldn't handle it, I couldn't mask it out, and even Photoshop CS5's amazing new content-aware fill feature didn't solve the problem. But I eventually figured out the answer, and in this tutorial, I'll show you how I came up with this final image:

Strange Retro Wallpaper From Bittbox - Free Textures Download
November 25, 2010
From Bittbox, Free Texture Tuesday: Retro Wallpaper Difference Clouds: For this week, I’ve got some retro wallpaper textures with a twist.

These would probably work nicely as a low opacity overlay to add a little more texture to a background that already exists but needs a little more spice. Hope you put them to good use.
