How To Sharpen An Image In Photoshop — Advanced Sharpening Techniques
Most if not all digital images require sharpening. Most cameras or scanners can sharpen as the image is captured but the highest quality sharpening is to be found in the image editing software. The best sharpening techniques are those that prioritize the important areas for sharpening and leave the smoother areas of the image well alone, e.g. sharpening the eyes of a portrait but avoiding the skin texture. These advanced techniques are essential when sharpening images that have been scanned from film or have excessive noise, neither of which needs accentuating by the Unsharp Mask. So let the project begin.

Working With Shadows In Photoshop - Advanced Shadow Techniques
Learn the fine art of isolating and preserving delicate and complex shadows for transplantation to exotic new backgrounds. The flower for this tutorial was photographed on a cold winters morning in Victoria whilst the sand hails from the Great Indian Desert in Rajasthan. Unlikely bedfellows, but with a little craft the two can lie together comfortably within the same frame – but only if the subtle shadow is captured with all of its subtlety and delicately transplanted to its new home in the desert. This is how...!

Photoshop Masking & Montage Tutorial — Using Masks To Improve Landscape Images
In this sample chapter from his new book, Photoshop CS3 Essential Skills, Mark Galer shows you Photoshop techniques that use selections and Photoshop masks to create amazing effects that can be applied to landscape images. As a bonus, you can also download high resolution versions of the images that are used in the tutorial, so you can work along with Mark. This tutorial is an excellent way to become more familiar with Photoshop's powerful masking and selection tools.

They say that sequels are never as good as the original - try telling that to Adobe. There fully revamped Photomerge now comes in three flavors and is fully fantastic. You get to explore the greatly improved Photomerge features only in Elements 6 and Photoshop CS3. Photomerge is now capable of aligning and blending images without any signs of struggle - banding in smooth areas of tone.

Selecting & Extracting Hair - Masking Tutorial - Extraction Tips
One of the most challenging montage or masking jobs in the profession of post-production editing is the hair lift. Get it wrong and, just like a bad wig, it shows. The first secret step must be completed before you even press the shutter on the camera. Your number one essential step for success is to first shoot your model against a white backdrop, sufficiently illuminated so that it is captured as white rather than gray. The post-production is the easy bit - simply apply the correct sequence of editing steps and the magic is all yours. This is not brain surgery — but follow these simple steps and you will join the elite ranks of Photoshop gurus around the world. Celebrity status is just a few clicks away.

Use The Displace Filter & Displacement Maps To Make A Realistic Flag
By using the blend modes the flag in this project can be modified to respect the color and tonality of the undulating silk beneath it. The highlights and shadows that give the silk its shape can however be further utilized to wrap or bend the flag so that it obeys the materials shape and sense of volume. This can be achieved by using the Displace filter in conjunction with a displacement map. The map defines the contours to which the flag must conform. The final effect can be likened to shrink-wrapping the flag to the 3-D form of the undulating silk.

Topaz Detail - Pro Level Photo Sharpening Plugin - 50% Off Sale
APRIL 12, 2014

Topaz Detail is like giving your computer an upgraded set of instructions telling it exactly what "detail" looks like in your image. With these instructions, your computer learns how add real sharpness to your images, instead of just naively increasing edge contrast.

Because of its unique technology, Topaz Detail naturally makes your photos look more "three-dimensional". So don't make another flat picture. Instead, use Detail to create a deep and rich moment in time, frozen in the frame of your photograph... so vivid that you feel like you could just walk right in.

Topaz is running a 50% promotion on Topaz Detail. Use coupon code "aprdetail" during checkout.

Topaz Detail will first analyze your entire image and determine what's detail and what's not. With that information, it can make your images tack-sharp - without increasing noise or causing other side effects. The final result can look so good that you'd think it had been that sharp all along. Try this method once and you'll never want to go back to the old way.

CD & DVD Labels - Photoshop CD Label Templates & Label Printing Tips
Why have bland, generic looking CD & DVD labels when you can just as easily create labels that really pop? On the rise are label CD & DVD label templates based on Adobes agile and ubiquitous Portable Document Format (PDF). Any creative application in the professional or prosumer (effectively, serious hobbyist) class can either or both read and create PDF files. More importantly, PDF files can be viewed and printed by anyone with a copy of the Adobe Reader — which is to say, by just about every computer user on planet Earth. PDF-based labels can be printed on any inkjet or laser printer, or even sent to a printing shop.

Use Photoshop To Add A Title To An Image - Working WIth Text
There are times when you need to put a title on an image, whether for print work or for the web. Sometimes you might put it above the image, often you might place it below the image, but one way to add a nice elegant title is to actually put it in the image. In this short tutorial Im going to use Photoshop to do just that.

Designing With Paragraphs Of Type - Photoshop Type Tool Tips
In Photoshop, you will often use point type - a few discrete words or lines – which are added by clicking once with the Type tool and then adding some text. Often, however, a design may call for full paragraphs of text. You can design complete paragraphs of type in Photoshop and you dont have to switch to page-layout program to get paragraph type control. In this short Photoshop tutorial Ill show you how to do it.

How To Make A Dotted Line Brush In Photoshop
The dotted line is a very useful tool in graphic and web design for separating areas of information. If you've used Illustrator or InDesign, you'll know that it's simple to stroke a line so that it appears dotted. However, Photoshop doesn't offer this as a standard feature. I'm going to show you how you can easily create a dotted line by making a custom brush.

Adobe Photoshop Drop Shadows - Drop Shadow Tips
Its really easy to add a drop shadow to any object on a layer in Photoshop. Just select the layer in the Layers palette and then click on the Add a layer style button at the bottom of the palette and choose Drop Shadow from the drop down menu. This opens up the Layer Style dialogs box and you can choose your drop shadow settings from there. Simple.

Hand Colouring A Black And White Photo In Photoshop - Photoshop Tutorial
You can hand colour a black and white photograph in Photoshop in a number of ways. In this tutorial, Im looking at how to add colour 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 colour picture.

Working With Photoshop Blending Modes & Opacity - Photoshop Tutorial
In this Photoshop tutorial, Im taking a brief look at opacity and blending modes in Photoshop and how you can create different image effects by using them. Im not going to look at each of the blending modes – there are 23 of them – but more an overview of how they work. When you blend layers you are changing the way pixels on the different layers mix with each other and this gives us some cool (and unusual) results. Blending modes can be a great way to compose multiple-image artwork.

Matching Image Sizes When Dragging Between Documents
People new to image editing in Photoshop are often puzzled when they drag an image from one document window to another document and the sizes dont match. You may have found that you have two documents which look about the same size when they are side by side, but when you drag one photo onto the first image appears really small (or really big). So whats the story? Well, you need to look at the resolution of each image to understand why this happens.

Using Photoshop's Art History Brush To Create A Painting Effect
Rather than using Photoshop filters to create a watercolour or painterly effect, you can use the Art History Brush in Photoshop to create a nice looking "painting." And it will make you feel like youre part of the process of making something because with this tool you need to make decisions about how the effect will look

Photoshop Photo Effect - Haunted Grungy Look
A very popular look Ive noticed recently is a sort of haunted, gritty photo look. I saw an advertisement in a magazine for House the TV program with Hugh Laurie and it uses this effect of grittiness combined with bright coloured eyes. In this Photoshop tutorial Im going to show you how to make something similar in Photoshop.
