I'm Curious....

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?

There's a lot of confusion about Adobe's new Creative Cloud.
It's assumed that all Adobe products will be available via a monthly subscription only, and that may be true.
I found this post by Scott Kelby, a Photoshop heavy weight.

My Adobe Creative Cloud Quick Q&A

Read the article and you'll see 2 comments that seem to contradict the subscription only assumption most people have.

Q. Do I have to sign-up for a Creative Cloud membership or can I just upgrade like always?
A. Nope—you can just upgrade like always.

Q. What if it’s not for me?
A. That’s totally cool. You can pretend the Creative Cloud doesn’t exist, and just pay up front for upgrades and full versions of the software like you used to. The Creative Cloud is an option — one that makes sense for a lot of people who can’t handle the up-front costs of the regular Creative Suite, but if it’s not for you, no biggie.

I'm posting this with very limited knowledge on how CC will work and what it means to those of us individuals that have single licenses for Adobe products.
I'm making this post a sticky and hope any PS_CC comments and updates will be posted here until we understand what this means to us.

Photoshop Gurus gets the Windows 8 look and I like it, very modern!!!!

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.

Hi, first time on this forum so please feel free to move this if it's in the wrong category.

I recently bought a HP Pavilion 15-p014tx which has a touchscreen. I enjoy doing a bit of photoshop on the side in my spare time and figured I'd take advantage of the touchscreen when using photoshop. I was wondering which stylus people recommend for to use for photoshop as my chubby fingers are hardly adequate to do such a job.

Thanks,
George.

Hi again, all.

In my search for everything photoshop, I came across this .... http://www.toolpic.com/ .

It certainly looks almost like Photoshop's interface (at least to me). I tried playing with it and looks good.

Are there limitations to what it can do compared to Photoshop?

Is this legal to use considering it looks like photoshop and exists freely in the internet?

Hi
need to just simply state that am far from a photoshop guru. have recently tried geocaching and quickly stumbled upon this image. What started off as a simply hobby has turned into a photoshop challenge for me. Simply put, in the image is a hidden number. Have tried getting it as clear as possible and although you can read it (with a bit of help from your imagination) i would like to know (and perhaps learn) if there are better ways to isolate the number in photoshop. I have mainly tried changing the saturation, hue and brightness and contrast. Anybody else has a better idea??

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I have no idea how to use Photoshop and I don't have Photoshop. But a friend has suggested I make a request for help on a Photoshop forum.

Long story short, every single graduation photo is ruined because of the fake eyelashes in my right eye. I didn't apply it perfectly, and throughout the day, it kept dropping down. No one, not my family members, not my friends, not even the photographer, bothered to tell me my eyelash was completely ****ed. I think the photographer thought I had a legit lazy eye :(

I can't do graduation again and I'm really upset that the photos are just worthless because of this little thing. I don't even want to show my huge family in Thailand. Had I known it was this bad I would've tried to do my eyelashes again.
The digital copies of the professional photos also cost almost $200. Such a waste now. :(



It's not so obvious from a quick glance, but when you actually look at it, it's quite shocking.

Early that day, it wasn't that bad, and I guess the angle helped. ;/

There are a total of 25 photos, but if I can get 4 favourites, or maybe even 2 photos fixed, I would be so, so grateful.
I've asked my boyfriend, but even he seems unwilling because apparently "it'd take a whole day". So I understand if no one can help me, but even a bit of advice or redirecting to someone/another forum would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

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!
