Can Someone Help Me?

I recently got a third monitor for my extended desktop, and I currently have a Razer/Green & Black theme for my setup. I have a Razer keyboard, mouse, and mouse pad. And this is currently my desktop:



I don't like the left or middle screen much, and I was hoping someone could do some editing and make me a better wallpaper. Any help would be appreciated, and I would be willing to pay a fair price for a cool triple monitor wallpaper (I think the resolution needs to be 5760 x 1080). I'll post a couple images that I like, and that could be included in the wallpaper.





If anyone would be willing to help, feel free to get creative and use whatever images you like or think would make the wallpaper look cool. Thanks again to anyone who can help me.

Laptop Or Desktop?

Hej, I'm about to invest in a new computer. It's leaning towards a laptop this time but I am a bit worried it could affect the ergonomics (i.e. the fact that it is not possible to adjust the screen vs the keyboard). I use a wacom board.
Anyone with experience of using both or know the pro's and con's of these two?
Thanks!

Simple (i Think?) Photoshop Request On Damaged .jpg

Hi guys, I had accidentally used my SD card on a faulty reader and it resulted in my SD card being corrupted, I had managed to extract back most of the files but some of the important (actually, just one that I care of) is damaged. The lucky thing is that I had sent out that image to my friend via Facebook before the card got corrupted so I have a scaled down full photo with me, along with the original (though corrupted) file with me. I was wondering if the bottom part of the original jpg can be replaced with the compressed jpg? That way our faces won't look too scaled down, the bottom part's not too important if it is blurry. Thank you!

Here's the link of the two files. It's in my Dropbox, please do take a look at it. Thank you!

Tablets.

Hi Guys. Wondering if someone can recommend the best Tablet for Photoshop Edits.
I know nothing about them. I have been told they are better than a mouse.
I have had Photoshop for a long time and now my hand is getting a little shaky. (Senile Decay)
Brand and model you use would be so helpful. Thanks!

Colour Profiles, Monitor Settings Etc

Morning!

I was wondering if you guys would mind helping me understand how I should be setting my monitor up and which colour profiles I should be using. Bearing in mind i don't have the spare money to buy a monitor calibration setup right now i'm going to have to make do for the time being with the monitors settings themselves.

I've always felt that my images when printed out seemed darker and more saturated than they did on the screen. Thinking it was my printer I would just lighten them to the point they looked washed out and then reprint, repeating until I was happy with the print. Having recently been given a new printer it does exactly the same so I'm guessing its my monitor that might be at fault.

I'll be very honest and say that I have tried to research this on the internet but it's going over my head and there are so many different opinions I'm getting a little lost.

I thought if I were to ask for help here I could get a dialogue going and be able to ask for clarification.

Currently I'm using an iMac running Mavericks which is set to Adobe RGB (1998) under the display settings.

I'm not doing any professional work where I need to check colours with clients or anything for the time being I just wish my printed images looked more like they do on screen.

thanks in advance for any help you might be able to pass my way.

Photoshop Request?

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for your time
There's this picture I'd like to use as my desktop wallpaper, but it looks a bit blurry and unpolished, so I would be really thankful if anyone could sharpen the lines and make it HD without changing its size.
I don't know if this is possible but any help will be appreciated.
Thanks again!

How Do I Transform While Zoomed Way In?

Hi there,
I have looked for an answer to this problem but have not been able to find it - so I wanted to ask if anyone here know.

What I want to do is to tranform (scale etc.) a part of a Photoshop image I am working on. I need to work very close (zoomed in) so I can not see the transform handles that I normally use to drag when tranforming.

Is there any way to do transformations using the mouse (with a dragging motion) - without actually grabbing the transformation handles? (eg. using shortcuts / mouse)

High Resolution Picture On Low Resolution Big Monitor

Hi!
I have a dilemma with a high resolution picture that I want to use on a large screen. The problem is the screen has a low resolution which seem to distort the picture sometimes. Also I would like to zoom in the picture.

The monitor is a 47 inch HP LD4720tm sporting a 1,920 by 1,080 resolution. So the resoultion is like an ordinary desktop monitor but the size is more than double that. In other words, the pixel density (ppi) is much smaller.

The picture is of a clock. Size is about 670X670 pixels. I cropped out this clock from a larger 12MP Raw format Nikon picture. The cropped out clock looks something like this (my real image is copyright protected but this is very similar with 700x644px):


(http://www.stanleylondon.com/ClockShipsBellSml1.jpg )

On the screen this picture should take up a fixed size of 170X170 pixels (ie about 10% of the monitor).

The first way I did this was to simply in Photoshop Elements save the 670X670 picture as a png and with dimensions 170X170 pixels. ("Save for web" to get it as small in size as possible and chose png and 170X170). Then I put the 170X170 pic on the background canvas. It looks very nice. However, when I zoomed in the numbers and other details look very jagged or blurry.

So now I tried with the larger resolution 670X670px. I put this on the background too, and as it should only take up 170X170px, I clicked it and dragged to resize it. But this picture looks much worse than the 170X170 pic. I suppose the 170X170 pic perfectly fits the 170X170 space while the 670X670px is distorted. I mean, for the 170X170 pic there will be one pixel for each monitor point. When I do the exact same comparison on a 21 inch 1920X1080 monitor they look equally good, so it must be due to the low pixel density of the 48 inch monitor where the human eye can see each pixel.

However, now when I zoom in the details for the 670X670px were clearly visible.

I tried a few other resoultions like 360X360 and 270X270 (I resized the 670X670 pic to these sizes) and both png and jpeg. They also looked worse in normal view but of course in zoomed view they displayed more details than the 170X170 pic.

My dilemma now is how to get an image that will look good both when zoomed in and when in 100% zoom (normal view) on this large screen. Is there a way to do this. Eg like resizing to a resolution larger than 170X170 that will also look good in normal view.

Thanks.

Is there a way in Photoshop to lock and move all panels as one unit to an external monitor, including the options and the tools?
For now I have to move them one by one.
