Best Place To Buy Cs 6

Hi, how can I enable "auto place" in free transform mode ? I click something, and now I have free transform without some placing (in the middle of bg, on sites....) - like when you press ctrl.

I am trying to make some videos using still images but want to add some creativity to them. I want to be able to make certain subjects in the images pop out like in the following two videos:

(I can't post links so you will have to search you tube for the following videos)
1. George Strait's "Troubadour" official video (use these search words: "george strait troubadour")
2. Cee Lo Green's "Thank you" video (use these search words: "thank you cee lo green" -its the firefighter video)

Sorry for not posting links but my account is not allowed to post links yet.

I want to use the 3d/pop-out style effects. I am not sure where to start on how to get certain elements in the image to pop out and others blur into the background. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello guys, i just wanted to show you how far the "burn" and "dodge" tools can take you- and how much detail can me revealed by them



dodge+burn=contrast

I would like to purchase an older version of Photoshop such as CS3 or CS5. I know from experience at work that the older versions are quite suitable for my needs. I'm hoping they are available for prices lower than when they were first released. I'd be using it at home on a fairly new OS X Mac. Did not find info on this on the Adobe website. Am seeing prices ranging from $350 to $2,000 on other sites. Don't know what to believe. Anyone know of a trustworthy site I can go to buy CS3 or CS5? Are license transfers o.k.? Maybe I can find someone who has CS3/5 who is no longer using it or any of the upgrades? Could these older versions even run on OS X? Thanks.

I copied the sleeve and that resulted in a difference of color on the right side.
Normally I will use the healing brush to fix this, but because the jacket has really tiny "rounds" in the febric, this will not work this time...
Does anybody has a solution for this?

I also wanted to erase the creases on the right side of the button, but again, the healing brush is not my friend...

Help?

I used to use quite a few Actions for special effects. Now, with Nik and
OnOne, I create "favorite" effects instead. I haven't used Actions for this
for quite some time.

Are Actions for certain effects (ie: Dragan) used much anymore?

Anyone have any Actions or Action sites they recommend? There's
a million sites that come up with a Google search, but many are not
really worth the time.

Hello to PGurus! This my 1st Post & I am thankful for the resource(s) offered here!
My ?: I have MacBook Pro Ver. 10.6.8 w/ 8 gig RAM. The filter " Fractalius " only works on Windows. They will not make a Mac Version. So, can I run Photoshop CS-5 Extended through VirtualBox Ver. 4.16 software with XP on it (which I already have used to run Microsoft "Access" DataBase software), and be able to use this filter for my projects? Or is there any better way to achieve the same result? Thank You for your advice.

Hello,
l would really appreciate some help since I am coming to a deadline for printing some material. My problem seems to me like it should be quite eas, I have come close to a sufficient solution on my own but still not quite good enough resolution to print 24"x18" signs. In any case my issue is that I have an old design file of mine for a 5"x3" sticker with a logo on it as seen. When I try to enlarge it to the 24"x18" size the edges are way too pixelated. I have tried different selection techniques as well as refining the edges but no luck to make a high res version as yet. It's a rather simple shape and frankly I don't even care if it is redrawn to match at high res. In any case here is a copy of the logo in its native size on a 24x18 photoshop canvas. There is an image and an attachment Photoshop file, I would greatly appreciate it if someone can download the photoshop file and repost it with their efforts.
Thanks,
Dino

Hello,
I wondered if someone would hear me out and possibly help or advise me.
In the attachment there is a great picture of a bass jumping with the sky and sunset in the background.
I added a white paw to the sky and hope to make it look or blend in as a beleivable cloud in the sky.
My novice thoughts about how I might do this was as follows:
1) create and save a precise selection of the paw with a close detailed trace (I am having trouble donig this ste) and save the selction.
2) take that selection to the background copy layer and delete all the area inside that selection
3) take the background copy for cloud breakthrough layer and place it below the background copy layer with color enhancements to show through the holes in the background copy layer.

there is also a cloud paw layer which I aborted efforts working with.

-Bottom line is I am looking for a cloud paw in the sky which looks good, an orange emphasis is desired.

If you can do some work in the file and post it back up or at least advise how you would reccomend I try and go about it would be greatly appreciated.
BTW - The selection process really giving me fits with the idea I had, If you know of a great selection tutorial please send me some info.

Thanks,
Joe

Tired of Trial & Error efforts. There must be a precise method. e.g. : Cropping-Sizing a 1.5" diameter disk into a 2" x 3" rectangle @ 240ppi - the final file size. I've set the grid to 1" with 8 sub-divisions...therefore gridlines at 1/8" H. & V. Messed with that way too long. Please help. Mac 10.6.8 PS CS3 ...please no snickering

Thanks,
