Help?! :)

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.

Just wondering if anyone can post step by step on how to get a get as much detail out of an extremely dark photo. Keep in mind that i am talking about photos that sometimes we take but aren't meant to be posted or send to anyone else, so it doesn't really have to look good. Here is one I have tried to lighten up. once I enhance it, I can see there is a iron work but I am not sure what it is (I have attached the original photo). I understand there is a limit to what can be done but I just want to know if I am reaching that limit. Thanks guys

Hello,

This is the tut:

I'm attaching a screenshot, too.
In step 3 of this tut, I only get a white fill when I follow the instructions. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

I am currently learning Photoshop and want to get into photo restoration as well which have had some good results with but this photo has me stumped as to how to remove this splash of brown from the uniforms of the two men on the left and some on the uniform of the guy on the right. Could I get a step by step on how to bring these uniforms back to original?

I am a designer who primarily uses InDesign and Illustrator and have a client that wants to recreate this gold and black gradient beveled embossed looking rectangle... however they want it in Photoshop. I for the life of me, can't remember how to do this with the gradients and changing colors. Is there someone out there that wouldn't mind giving me a step by step process on how to create that background box? I've attached the image. I know how to add the text, and all of the rest of the info, just needed help creating that outer border.

Thank you!

Hi, I have seen a series of images by Chakrit Chanpen recently and I have been looking for a tutorials / tips / pointers on how he does it.
I can image it will be a complicated workflow including more than just one technique. I have been "googling" for the past two days and to be honest did not find much :/.
I don't need an inch by inch instructions ( I know what the masks, layers, adjustments, gradients, blending modes... are) but if anyone can help me to explain how to do it or point in the right direction I will be glad.

I can't post links yet so I will paste some samples here or you can just google Chakrit Chanpen and fing him on 500px.













Thanks,


Pavel

greetings,

i have created several time lapse mp4's using photoshop cc 2014. i use lightroom 5 to adjust the exposures and then render them into mp4's using pscc2014. these are created using the ps default of 29.97 frame rate. however they play back way to fast. can someone explain step by step how to slow the time lapse's down or provide a link that explains this workflow? my time lapse's are shot with the gopro and average about 23000 pictures per sequence at 7 megapixel wide. i can not fathom how to do this in the gopro studio software and my computer just can't handle the gp software either. i seem to have stability with my LR/PS photograpers adobe annual bundle.

thank you,

tws
