hi all
after cramming photoshop study over the last 2 years ive gone back into photography , purchasing a nikon d7100 , 55-300, 18-55,11-16 tokina and a 50mm 1.8 i can cover most shots
im doing a 52 shot challenge to themes given on a nikon forum , im going one step further and doing these relating to golf as my son is looking too turn pro this year and we are both sacrificing a lot to try to live the dream
his coach since he was 15 has never charged him and he believes he can play and win a british open one day , he is 24 now and after 5 year layoff where he went partying and didnt play golf he is back better then ever , training hard over the last 12 months , no drinkning smoking drugs or ******** for either of us
so we travel up to 1500 klm per week to compete , talking about the photography themes he suggested we put the photos into a photobook for his coach for xmas , so far i have four shot themes completed and 48 to go buy ill get plenty soon
my question is what are the tricks and tips for proofing for print in photobooks , what ive done is use select proof color , tick gamut warning and get rid of the grey areas by lowering vibrance exposure etc etc , i also tick shop simulat paper color in custom proof set up and the rendering intent is set to perceptual , not doing much printing any advice would be great , i want them to have punch and not look washed out heres the shots so far and themes used which are named in file
CLOSE UP , DEPTH OF FIELD , SILHOUETTE , LEANING
Hello,
I am trying to help a neighbor with a birthday invitation in CS4. For some reason, when we print the image, the text color is missing. We are trying to print the image on pink paper. The text layers are a silver color. No matter what color we change the text layers to, it won't print them in the chosen color. It just shows up as the pink paper. I have attached a screen shot.
Could anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

(the picture is raw straight out of camera, not edited yet)
Hello!
I am new here
I hope I post it in the right branch, was pending btw. general and plug-ins.
I experience some strong artefacts that seem to come out after Imagenomics Noisewear application.
The photograph is challenging, so I am not wondering that it does not work that well, but I hope there is a way to get rid of the artefacts.
Initial condition:
ISO-1600 shot with Nikon D800
1. processed the picture in RawTherapee: exposure compensation +3.6 (I doubt that these are real 3.6, since 0 is darker than the out of cam jpg exposure), lightness +36 and some curves.
2. Imagenomic Noisewear in PS, does a good job, but artefacts remain. (default settings, luminance 70, color 80)
3. Topaz filter. that enhances of course also the artefacts.
Attached some shots.
Now, I understand that a ISO-1600 picutre with all that processing (exp. comp., topaz filter) will look messy. However, it seems the artefacts consist ONLY of black and white pixels (look at the 400x). Hence, I think there is a way to get rid of them.
And, yes, these artefacts are STRONGLY visible even at 20%, esp. because they are all over the picture.
Any ideas?
thanks a lot!

So I am a self taught photoshopper and I had a friend ask me to do cover art for his next album. He's just a small time local artist and had the pretty generic idea of a photo mosaic of his face made up of other pictures, but I don't believe in doing poor quality work. I'm a little lost on how to go about this project though. I know that I have to place photos of the same color on his face to build it up but I'm not sure how to start. All I can find for tutorials on the subject either use the same photo over and over or use overlay or something to make the photos appear to be the right color when they aren't actually. Or people just use software to do it for them. Can anyone help with either tips or a link to a tutorial or anything about how to organically make a photo mosaic in photoshop. I don't want to use software because he wants to make money off his album and I don't want to step on copyright infringements and I also think it looks stiff. Any tips??
So I have to do some begging and pleading on behalf of my sister...she had a very unfortunate situation where the photographer for her bridal portraits became very ill and failed to find a replacement. I have shot landscape photography pretty well for years and done some portraits so I got her phone call. She asked if I would shoot some urgent bridal portraits, which I did.
The pictures turned out decently. However, despite knowing how to use a camera, I am lost when it comes to editing. I am hoping there is a kind soul who is willing to help me with editing 2 or 3 photos. I have RAW images and there are no major changes--just altering sharpness, contrast, tones, etc. There is not cutting, blending, or anything involved necessary. I could just process the images and print "as is" and they would be decent, but I know someone who knows what they are doing could make them so much better.
Would anyone be willing to help me help her? She has a wedding photographer lined up now but really wants a decent bridal portrait for the reception. Her wedding is this coming Saturday. If anyone is kind enough to help me out editing some shots, please PM me. Thanks in advance for your kind consideration!
Hey guys (and girls if any )
I need som brainstorming here. I have attached a NEF file that you all can play with. I wonder what you guys can come up with as the best final result of this image. It can be hard to see other viewers result sometimes..so i just want to know what you guys can come up with. Actually i think this file is fun to play with, since you have to control shadows, highlights, color balance, vibrance, sharpness etc. I see that i could have taken away the white that appears on the window, but this i dont know how. Anyone?
I have attached both NEF and my result. Besides, what do you think?
Here is the NEF file

What is yours?
Hi everyone!
I had a shoot yesterday with a model in a milk bath, and I have a great amount of shots that I love, but I am running into some serious post work issues. Spent 4 hours in Photoshop last night trying to tackle this, and again this morning, and have decided to turn to you all for help.
The trick here is that I want the bathtub part cloned out, which I did. But in the process it caught and transferred a lot of the grayish tones. I also need the edges to be white without making the grey areas noticeable, while still keeping the model, and the water line on her body.
I've attached the version that I came up with last night, but upon uploading to the web, the gray areas are VERY noticeable and it looks awful. The only way I was able to get to where I arrived was by adjusting levels, saturation, curves, exposure a bit.. a lot of adjustments that I don't know if they were really the best way to get where I need to be.
I've also attached the original.
Can anyone help me figure out a method of attacking this issue so that I can get the post work done correctly on the rest of the images? Btw, these will be going to print, so they have to be correctly done :(
THANK YOU!!!
Hello,
I am not sure if this is even a necessary worry of mine nut I will pitch it out anyway. I will be printing the attached file on the back of a white t-shirt and I wondered if there was any technique that could be used to reduce the harshness or abruptness of the image that may be seen when the image is printed onto the white shirt. The color at the edges of the image is very light / almost white so fortunetly in most areas of the print you may not be able to clearly see the edge. if I am not making any sense I guess what I am trying to say is I would like for it to seem like the image fades away at the edges slighhtly rather than seeing a clear edge of the picture. I could imagine using some kind of edge eraser tool with a spotty brush or partial opacity but not really sure the best way to try and achieve it. The picture unfortunetly has texy of my url running very close to the edges so I would like to be careful that we don't fade any text away. Just wondered I would see if there was a quick and easy way to do it. Ideas are welcome. If you do any work please post back your .psd file and a brief description (if it's not too complex) of how you did what you did.
Thanks,
Joe
Using PS CC. I have set a photo to an image size of 4x6. I am uploading to an online photo printing service to purchase multiple copies of the photo on 4x6 glossy paper. I've tried both Costco Photo and Shutterfly but the cropping that is required cuts into the people shown on the photo. I tried increasing the print size to 5x7 but it cropped even more. If I use my own printer, I can reduce the photo to fit the paper size. This option is not available online. I tried reducing the image size to 5x3, but that doesn't work either. How do I format my photo to eliminate so much cropping with these online services? Thanks for any help you can give me. I've been using Photoshop for several years and have gone to two classes. Unfortunately, I only use it a few times a year so it's almost always like being a newb! Anne
Hello Everyone!
I need something creative help. I don't really know how to use photoshop that well other than basic functions. I have recently started getting serious about my photography, and had just picked out my watermark. My Photography alias is "Mr. Infinity". I had outlined my watermark, but want something custom done to it.
Here it is:
I am using this infinity symbol, but would like to see what it would look like if the letters "Mr." and "Mister" were somehow embedded on the bottom left curved line. Somewhat like this, but on the left side:
Of the full "Mr. Infinity Photography" like this:
Any creativity you want to embed in it is fine with me. Looking for someone who is good at photoshop, and wouldn't mind taking a couple minutes to help me out.
Thanks in advance.
