| Crop picture/photo in AdobePhotoshop |
| Wednesday, June 21, 2006 |
I will explain here two ways for crop picture in Photoshop.
- First way is easy, but you have to be very precise. Just pick Rectangular marquee tool from tools palette, and make selection on photo you are working on. Select part you want to stay. Than, just go to Image-crop, and you're done. If you don't like what you're done, you always can go to Edit-Step backward.
- Another way is using crop tool. Pick it up from tools menu  (see picture) and make selection on photo. Now, you have 8 points where you can change selection, by pulling some point (color picture).  When you are finished with that, go to Image-crop, and you're done.Labels: tutorial |

| Pastel color on desktop |
| Monday, June 19, 2006 |
Open photo, picture or any file or software where you can see that pastel color you want on your desktop. "Print Screen" that.
Than, open Photoshop, go to "File > New" , "OK" and "Ctrl+V" to open that clipboard pic on new file in Photoshop. Pick "Eyedropper Tool" from tools menu and click on wanted color.
Now, you should "File > New", with 1x1 pixel. Make it bigger just in view with "Ctrl+[+]" few times. Now, pick "Paint Bucket Tool" and click anywhere in that 1x1 square. When you're done, just save pic on computer.
To put that color on your desktop, right-click on DeskTop , chose "Properties". On "Background" card find pic on "Browse...". On "Picture Display" chose "Tile". |

| Photoshop magnetic lasso tool tutorial |
| Friday, June 16, 2006 |
Unexperienced AdobePhotoshop users have problems with Magnetic lasso tool because they are trying to make very complicated selections. You have to know, this tool have it's limits. That's why I recommend you this time to chose some photo with big difference in colors (main part and background). Load that pick in Fotoshop. Chose Magnetic laso tool from palette. Than click anywhere between main caracter on your photo and background. Move the mouse by the line (don't have to hold mouse button, or click). Photoshop will make several control points on that line. If you make a mistake somewhere, just back cursor to last control point, and than move on further. If you don't like position of some control point, click BACKSPACE. And on left mouse click, you can put your own control points. When whole circle has made, just click on first controlpoint to close circle, or do left double-click.Labels: tutorial |

| Color fill in Adobephotoshop - part 2 |
| Thursday, June 15, 2006 |
Another way is FILL command. Edit > Fill for filling with foreground color. In Photoshop 6+ , if you chose FILL command before selecting, you will fill whole layer. Shortcut for this command is Shift+Backspace.
Third possibility is Backspace. After selecting part of layer or part of background layer, if you press Backspace or Delete, you will fill it with background color. On other sorts of layers, press Ctrl+Backspace. If you want fill with foreground color, than click Alt+Backspace.Labels: tutorial |

| Color filling in adobefotoshop/adobephotoshop |
| Tuesday, June 13, 2006 |
You can do color filling in Adobephotoshop with few different tools.
First is with "Paint Bucket Tool" (so called - "Fill tool"). This tool is on palette tools on same box with "Gradient tool". With "Paint Bucket Tool" you can fill some selection with foreground color or pattern just with choosing tool and then click on selection. You can also do color fill some spaces that are not selected, but have same color. For instance, if part of picture have some red pixels, and you chose blue as foreground color, than click on any red pixels, you will fill blue all red pixels.
Another way in next post.Labels: tutorial |

| Restore Old Photos with Photoshop |
| Thursday, June 01, 2006 |
How to Restore Old Photos with Photoshop
by: Michael Wysmierski
There are times that people may have old photographs they would like to restore to save the memories. Photos usually get damaged through the times. The pictures may get blurred, the color fades and the picture might acquire marks and scratches. Thank the technology of today. People can now save and restore their old photos with the help of Photoshop.
Here are some steps to follow in restoring old pictures using the Photoshop.
1. The person may use the Elements in Photoshop, which are Dust and Scratch Filter to remove the marks, scratches an blots in the photo. The Dust and Scratches Filter is located on the Menu Bar and click on the Filter Tab. A drop down will list elements and then he can choose the Noise tab and select on the Dust and Scratches.
2. After clicking on the Dust and Scratches menu, a window will pop up with two control sliders. The first slider is for the Radius and the other one is for the Threshold. There will also be another window if the preview box will be checked. These are the main options that will be used in treating the picture.
3. Adjusting the Radius slider may remove the scratches. However, there is a tendency that overdoing it may make the edges blurred too. If that happens, the option is to adjust the Threshold slider and this will allow the details to go back and make the picture clearer with the scratches disappearing. The person should be careful not to set them too far or it will only create blotches on the picture.
4. In removing the marks, selecting the whole photo will not diffuse these marks. The option is to select only the part where the scratches are located. He may use the Lasso to do this.
5. He can then feather the edges of the selected area so that the selected area will not be obvious on the picture. He can do this by clicking the Feather option and click the Scratch and Dust Filter again. He can do the process again of adjusting the Radius and Threshold sliders to get the texture needed and remove the scratches.
6. It there are still visible marks on the other parts of the picture, he can do the technique again by selecting the areas he would like to adjust. To finish the process and make the picture presentable, he can crop the image enough to remove the cracks and torn edges of the picture. The canvas may be use to equally crop the image.
7. A person may add drama on the picture by adding a drop shadow on it. This will make the picture appear as if it has been lifted off the page. The color may also be removed using the controls Shift+Ctrl+U. He can then add color by putting a little amount of Sepia. He can do this with the Hue or Saturation tab. The contrast may be adjusted using the Levels option.
This is one easy way on how to remove the blotches and marks on an old picture. This is also a good way to make the picture look new but still appear classical. It will be a pleasant and easy way to display pictures kept on old albums and cabinets for a long time.
