Recreating The Image Style

Hi I'm new here. I'm by no means a beginner but I'm not an expert either and there's still some areas of photoshop that I'm still unsure about. However I learn by experimenting.

I'm a big fan of retro style posters, particularly ones from the 1930s/1940s or appearing to look like from that era.

I've been trying to design some artwork to look like that but don't know how to get the 'human block effect' and the grainy gradient effect.

Does anyone have any tips of how to get about this? I'm not asking for a step by step guide because that would take too long for you. Just any advice that will get me started.

I'd like to add that I'm not trying to copy the following images and claim artistic license, I'm just merely wanting to recreate that style.

Here are some example images.

Thanks.

Hi,
I'm trying to create that glossy book cover effect that you see typically see on hardback book covers.
Could anyone please provide some details on how I could achieve something like that (bearing in mind that I've just started learning photoshop).
I'll see if I can find an image that might explain it better.
Thanks.

NOTE: All 3 samples are Kindle Erotica Book Covers. I couldn't find any non-erotica cover image.

Question - I want to create a simple Kindle Book Cover (that is, front side only) like the cover images posted below. I just want to know how to create the Text Effect. That is, how to create the Transparent (or opaque) bar and how to create the following text effects, both Title and Author Name Are the fonts or simple effects? Please help.



Please Help. Am using CS 5 Extended.

Thanks

I have given this idea quite a bit of thought and think I am ready for the next step.
I do have some Photoshop skills, but I want to get this done right because it is for a tattoo. heheh

So I attached an image of a hand holding a gun. I think it might be an image from a video game (Red Faction perhaps). I like the style and perspective of the hand. But here is the thing, I am hoping to have that hand holding a tomato and not a gun.

I am just throwing this out there and hoping someone bites, so here are some details:
-I don't need/want any of the background. Just the arm
-The arm to be b/w and the tomato red
-Possibly a thin line of tomato juice running down the arm (red as well). If the forearm has to lose detail, that is fine.

It is almost like the tomato is a beating/bleeding heart in the hand.

I greatly appreciate any help and attempts. Even rough work.

Hi Everyone. Im certainly not new to Photoshop. I have been using it since 1998 everyday. I am a graphic designer.
Think the reason I never come across this problem usually is because I make all my artwork for print in Indesign.
EG bring vectors in and images etc.
This particular project I have loads of textures that go over vector smart objects in Photoshop. As part of the look I need these textures and light leaks flooding across over the vectors I have placed in Photoshop.
Its a Zfold brochure and have built the whole thing in Photoshop due to the style I wish it to look.

MY PROBLEM
I have exported a 1x front of brochure and 1x Back as a Photoshop PDF and placed into indesign so I can use my fold and crop marks. This makes the live type that was in photoshop perfect and cant tell the difference that it was originally in Photoshop, it looks Indesign quality on my laser printer. The vector smart objects though are really blurry. Is there any way to keep the smart objects from rasterizing when saving in a file format?

Hi everyone I'm a complete beginner with photoshop, I have CS6 I'm looking to copy a style of text from a photo and replace it with other text.

The style of text I am trying to copy is from a stamp so I don't think it will be in selection of texts available in photoshop, have tried looking around youtube for tutorials but I cannot find anything along these lines.

I've attached a photo of the text I would like to change, it says JUN 2014 I would like to change it to AUG 2014 using the same text.



Any advice much appreciated

Thanks

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?


(First Image, Un-Touched, Door is Closed)

(First Image, Re-Touched, Removed Colour Cast, Sharpened, Skewed, Adjusted Hue/Saturation, Adjusted Levels, Adjusted Brightness and Contrast, Clone Stamp)

(Second Image, Un-Touched, Door is Open)

(Second Image, Re-Touched, Sharpened, Removed Colour Cast, Adjusted Levels, Adjusted Brightness and Contrast, Adjusted Hue/Saturation)

I need a couple of letters done in a vector file using AI ?

I have a logo designed by my friend Dad Braiser....What I need is a letter "P" in the same style. I would try it, but my drawing skills are awful , nor do I have AI.

thanks if you can help me!

Hi,

I really enjoy this artwork but I would like to know how to re-create the style? Is it just simple overlaying or something completely different effect style?





Thanks,

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!
