Better Way To Do This?

Hello.
I've recently photographed a few local bathrooms using my 18-55mm lens on a Sony A58 body. Since Apple's new OS Yosemite doesn't support Sony's RAW files I was forced to shoot in JPEG resulting in a tremendous undertaking of excruciating colour correcting in Adobe's Photoshop Elements 10. After a long period of getting the image to the colour and style I wanted, I was faced with a more challenging problem. I am now currently trying to match the colour style of my first image with another photograph of the same bathroom. Since I kept it on the same Custom White Balance it should of been easy but the second image had the door of the bathroom open while the first image had the door closed resulting in a mixture of different colour temperatures. Is there anyway of matching the style in Photoshop Elements for these two photos?

Hi All

I am reasonably new to photoshop but am wanting to get a lot better! I am quite interested in being able to change the colours/livery of objects in photos most notably trains due to this being one of my main interests.

I have an image of a train and I want to edit the livery but keep an element of realism.so It doesn't just look drawn like a cartoon. I have made an attempt at this but I am not massively happy with the results. I have uploaded both a copy of the original image and a copy of my amended image. My main problem is the lack of realism, because I am trying to go from a very light colour to quite a dark blue I seem to lose a lot of the detail from the original image.

I have also uploaded an image of the sort of thing I would like to achieve. The person who has done this makes a really good job of them and I would love to be able to achieve similar results.

The way I have created my image is simply but creating adjustment layers for hue and saturation and levels and played with the settings until I get something like.

Does anyone have any tips on how I can make a better attempt at changing to colour so it retains an element of realism?

Hi,When a black and white image is engraved by laser engraving, the engraving itself appears white on some materials.In other words black in the image is engraved white and white/gray gradually becomes transparent. (This is not simply the black and white image inverted)This is an example:



can I simulate this effect in Adobe Photoshop (CS6)?

Now most of us here, I can imagine are here to learn and enhance our knowledge on photoshop. Maybe you are a photographer and use photoshop to tweak your photos, or just here for social fun as a hobby.

I'm on PSG today because..?
Graphics design is a hobby of mine, and it has been for a long time. I am here today as I would like to improve on my photoshop skills (self study), and hopefully one day have a career in this sector.

Now its your turn, why are you here today?

I have been looking for days to see if there's a Photoshop brush set that creates 3d-ish strokes like an artist's palette knife would; rather like a smear of oil pain, clay or anything like that. I've only been with Photoshop for 20-years so you'd think I'd know this but I simply don't. Thanks for the help.
Please !!!!!

Hi guys,

I'm really interested in learning realistic photomanipulations of characters (for example, taking a character from an image and compositing it seamlessly into another), but i've just started learning photoshop at the moment, so i was wondering if anyone could point me towards the right directions perhaps?

There's so many areas to learn when it comes to Photoshop, and due to the wide variety of art professional who use this software, surely some techniques or areas of photoshop are more relevant to certain type of artists- so when it comes to realistic photomanipulation, what areas of photoshop should i learn or focus on? and does anyone know of any good tutorials/guides/web sties/ or any learning resources they could recommend?

thanks in avance.

Alright, so I run a page on Facebook devote to the franchise, Fallout. I stumbled upon this picture and thought that it was an amazing idea. However, the photo is choppy and very poor quality. I was wondering if anyone was up to the challenge to attempt to create a better quality photo for me.

My page has 4.3K likes. So your work will be seen. I'll obviously credit you for it. By request, if someone wants to see the page, I'll post it in the comments. I'm not trying to advertise it, just seeing if anyone was willing to give this a go.

The idea of the photo is to 'shop doge's head onto dogmeats body, while keeping the same colors as dogmeat. It might be a very easy job, but as I'm a big noob with photoshop, I can't figure it out. I can handle the text.

Let me know, thanks for reading.

Here's the image for you to use:

I have a number of images that have a light leak from the right hand side of the image across the bride's arm which I have tried to repair but everything I have tried just looks wrong. Can anyone help me?

Can someone please photoshop this shirt and pillowcase so that they look as if they are just layed out on my bed? The image of my bed has been turned counter-clockwise 90 degrees. You can make the items overlay if the room in the picture of my bed is not suitable to fit both fully. I just need them to look like I took a picture of them on my bed to prove I have them. I need to buy a couple of weeks as they're gifts to someone and I haven't gotten them in yet Thank you!

Hi!

I read the guidelines for requesting a free image edit request but please excuse me if this is the wrong forum (?).

I have a photo I'd love to photoshop a pair of strangers OUT of. My stepbrother and I just did an incredible hike at Zion National Park, and I'd love to blow up the picture and frame it for his birthday. The problem is the strangers in the pic are very distracting (in my opinion) and take away from the main focus of the image. Therefore I'd like to request help in removing the strangers (the 2 people on the left, in the orange and blue shirt).


Typically I would love instructions on how to do this myself, but unfortunately I don't have Adobe Photoshop and my image editing skills are very limited (to Picasa, hehe). Therefore if anybody would like to help me photoshop this image, it would be GREATLY appreciated!

I understand a request like this can take a lot of time and effort so I will completely understand if I receive no offers. I thought I would try! This image is originally in RAW format and I had to compress it for this post, but please let me know if/how I can send the original file (I have a flickr account too). If you need any other images (I have quite a few of the same shot from a slightly different angle) please let me know.

Thanks and hope to hear from some of you soon!

Kind regards!
