Seems like a good time for some KPT. That is, the original Kai's Power Tips. Many kudos to Steve and Gurus Network.
Many moons ago, Kai took a few Photoshop tools to the next level. To this day, even as old as they are, a great deal of his work is still relevant.
I don't have any tool tips popping up even though it is turned on in preferences.I am using windows 7 64 bit I have the latest cs5 update. using photohop version 12.0.4 x64
I've tried restarting but still the same.I know it was a problem for some win xp users and v12.0.3 update fixed this I believe.any win 7 users having same issue?
I'm trying to even out skin tone and slightly change a hairstyle in a photo, Can anyone give me any advice on how to do this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy classroom is running CS5. We just started working in Photoshop. Tool Tips only display for a few minutes, then stop working. Show Tool Tips is checked in preferences. How can I get Tool Tips to work consistently? I have read some info about an update called 12.0.3 and one called 12.0.4.

However, I was wondering if the file is suppose to open as an HTML page instead, and I could use Wordpad to edit it?
Maybe I saved it wrong...
Here are a few of my tips for retouching images in Photoshop:

I am trying to do a realistic burnt edge effect, I have looked at all the tutorials I could find. But they just seem to come out... Alright.
Anyone have any examples of one and tips they used to create it or links or anything that might help? Driving me insane trying to do this and im not getting very far with it..
Before everyone recommends search. I just thought I would start a thread that gives specific insight and opinions from others on how to do these things. We all know painting with light, lens flares etc.. But there are many other tricks some have pointed and I would basically like people to expose those and just chime in on how they would achieve some of these effects and keep it in one thread. I scavanaged around on a few other theads on started early about mixtape style covers, but this question wasn't really answered.
I don't care for Mixtapes, but I think that the artists behind them do a very good job of catching the eye and do a great job of mixing simple effects to make a a scne come to life.
For example: .....
I just installed my new Photoshop CS2 and transferred all my plug-ins and other stuff from Photoshop 7 folder, but I cannot seem to transfer all the saved actions that I have on the 7 and that's bad. I have saved quite a few important for me sets of edits that I most frequently use with my images as actions and I apply them with a single click. I need to find out how to transfer them into my new version if possible.
View 1 Replies View RelatedPretty much my main downfall when it comes to working with Photoshop, is my lack-of-expierence with texturing.
For example, I'm trying to figure out how to make a gray-ish type metal texture.
Basically, are their any *general* tips to get me going, on texturing? Using the metal example?
Tool Tips Do Not Display in Photoshop CS4
System is updated--using Windows XP Pro service pack 3, latest video driver, plenty of RAM. And in Preferences--Interface--Show Tool Tips is indeed selected. Whenever my pointer hovers over anything, no tips are displayed. Tool Tips worked fine in CS3.
I am a paratrooper who runs a few veteran websites, I am interested in doing some sites that use the new digital type camo. The Army ACU pattern in particular to start. Does anyone have any tips/tricks on how to use photoshop to create the ACU digital pattern camo.

View 4 Replies View RelatedComputers today are including more and more cores. I am looking to upgrade my machine and I have looked at an AMD quad core processor and their new FX 8 core processor. The computers I have looked at are are the same expect the processor (Quad vs 8 core). From my understanding the more cores doesn't mean more speed unless the software can actually use the power. So can Photoshop (CS6) actually use and benefit by having 8 cores than 4?(For that matter can other Creative Suite products also use that much power?)

Anytime I try to cutout a piece of an image and paste it into another image, the final result always turns out bad. It looks exactly like what it is...a cutout pasted onto another image.
Are there any good tips or tutorials on what to do to an image cutout to make it blend more seamlessly into another image?
I scanned a color image from a newspaper, so of course it's pretty grainy. I've done things like despeckle, which helped a bit, and some other filters to get rid of noise and such but I was wondering if anyone had any useful tips for improving newspaper images? (i.e., get rid of the grainy look from the high dot content, just make it look cleaner)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd be grateful for any tips anyone has for processing some photos to look in some way like these photos from the 1940s (including any possible effects aging has had) :
To begin with, I've read in various places that desaturating is not always the best way to change a colour photo to B&W, depending on the results you're after, and I'm thinking that perhaps this might be one of those times ?
I know there is a terrific new feature in PS CC (I have used it before!) but I just can't find any explanation on how to to do it!
The question is how do you remove, from an image, a power line, or a telephone line by simply clicking on both ends of those lines in order to remove them?
heard about the "kai power tool plugins"
can i download these plugins somewhere?
I have a performance monitor for my graphics card, and it told me that the card used to run at 270MHz for 2D applications under XP.
Now I have loaded Vista, the card is running flat out at 3D performance levels of 666Mhz, all the time. This is despite the fact that I have disabled all the Vista mega graphics.
I manually underclocked the card to 335Mhz, and there is no difference in Vista performance. Especially, there is no difference with Photoshop.
But of course, running at the lower f, the GPU will be consuming less power and have alonger life, etc.
I mean the running temperature dropped a fair old bit!
why Vista is running the card in 3D mode all the time?
possible to get it to stop?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm confused by these two brush tips. I have CS2 and in the Edit / Preferences / Display & Cursors there is the Normal Brush Tip and the Full Size Brush Tip. The Normal shows that the cursor corresponds to about 100%of the area it draws; the Full Size shows that it is bigger than the area it draws.
Two questions:-
1. What is the use for this latter cursor?
2. Why does it say in the User Guide and the Help that the Normal "corresponds to approximately 50% of the area that the tool will affect" and the Full Size "corresponds to nearly 100% of the area that the tool will affect"?
Mighty puzzling, although it has already been acknowledged that the User Guides are poor. Is this an example or am I missing something?

Been working on a file with a few layers, then the power goes out so my computer "crashes". When I reboot my computer, I am unable to open the file I was working on earlier and instead, get the message "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." The file is still .psd and I don't have a preview for the file anymore:
Is there anyway to recover the file?
