Axxo's Current Project

Hi everyone!
I found a video on you tube on how to make burn edge effect on your photo. Everything looks great..except that it seems the paint brush i used to erase the edges left an "impression" LOL. It started to show up when i did the "Inner Glow" command. As you can see on the photo attached. How do i get rid of this?? I should add that I'm new to photo shop.

Thanks for everyone's help. I do appreciate it

I was doing a restoration project for the community center that i work for, But I got an issue with the lighter spots in the surrounded area. I planed to make a selection of the areas, use hue/ saturation to desaturate and then equal the tones between light and dark making an adjustment dodge and burn layers. But I think there are other methods as well which can solve this issue. You can download the untouched original version of the pic from the link and feel welcome to give a try whit your versions and suggestions of this project.

I will appreciate your opinion and help.

Here is my work in progress and the issue:


Here is a link to the original image:

P.S the image represent an reproduction of women harvesters, who sing while working, wearing a traditional Bulgarian clothing My progress till now is to do some healing using spot healing tool and stamp tool.

Does anyone know the best place to buy a genuine copy of CS6, I've seen a few "discounted sites" that I wonder if they're selling rookie versions which I'd rather steer clear of and what's the difference between the standard and extended versions?

A lot of them also seem to be downloads which I've always been a bit wary of but as someone mentioned if you burn it onto a CD you've got a copy of on disk anyway so there's not really any difference.

Any help and links to "trusted sites" would be greatly appreciated.

I do not like developing images in LR but do like the "Visualize Spots" feature. Is it possible to do something similar in PS-CC to help find dust spots? I have used a level layer to create a temp high contrast view, cleaned up the original then deleted that level layer. Just wondered if there was a way to replicate what Lightroom is doing with "Visualize Spots"?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Can anyone please help design an awesome title for a 4th grade science project? It's for my son & his friend & they wanted an awesome eye catching title. The title is "DEFYING GRAVITY" If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!!!

I hope someone can help me.
Every time I use the burn tool, it's like I'm applying grey onto it. Is there a way of preserving color saturation while making it darker with the burn tool? I'm not getting good result unless I apply very little darkening.
Thanks

I mean, this seems a little silly, but when I try making it, just looks like a line on the finger, or the neck. Probably because I don't know how to add this "3D feeling". do you guys know how to make that look real, like the gem is "poppin' out"? as seen, I don't really know how to explain it clearly, but I hope u guys understand it. if someone knows a technique to make this, please tell me cause it is gettin' me on my nerves. thx!



I'm trying to work with these pictures and these (for the ring) (for the necklace)

Hi,
I'm wondering if this is possible:
The right side is what I'm trying to achieve.
It's a simple enough effect, but the problem is that I'm curious if it can be some sort of dynamic effect in that I can change the "A" text to "B" and still have the outline cut out of the "M" (Or whatever if I need to change the "M" text to "Q" or something).
Basically I need the "A" and "M" to be able to change while the stroke of whatever the "A" letter (or shape) is will always cut out whatever shape, text, or image is placed behind it.
Is this possible without having to manually cut it out of the back image every time?

The illusion can easily be created by having a white background and using a white stroke on the "A" (that creates the effect I'm wanting)..
However I need them to be transparent and easily editable so they can be saved as transparent images for multiple uses quickly and easily.
(I apologize if I didn't get this across very clearly)

Can you point me to a tutorial on distorting text in PS CC 2014?

I've been asked, by a friend, to do a postcard like project that uses photos
behind text as done in the image attached of a billboard here in town. The
word is "FAIR", not "Orlando" as in the sign.

I know how to create the open text letters and all the other steps of this
type of project, but I don't know how to distort the text letters similar to
what is done here.

I've played around with putting each letter on a layer and trying to
distort them, but haven't had much luck in getting what I want.

Not asking for it to be done. Teach me how or point me to a tutorial,
please.

Hi guys,

I really love the sharpness/high quality of images and now I got a MacBook Retina I can see the details even more. I was wondering when starting a "New file", if the values of "Resolution" has an impact on the eventual quality of the image? If so, what are the best values to put here?

Looking forward to your replies, please help me get a better understanding of this.
