View 4 RepliesI bought a full copy of Photoshop 7 some years ago and have bought all the upgrades right up to CS3.
Does that allow me now to purchase CS4 (when its released) as an upgrade to CS3 or do I have have to go back to buying a full copy of CS4?
Does anyone know how David Lachapelle creates the highly saturated style?

The 'nothing' still has a colour of course (creamy off-white), and when I print on to a similarly-coloured fine art inkjet paper I get a darker background than the original because I'm effectively finishing up with two lots of background. Is there a way I can make the background a lighter shade that doesn't involve use of one of the selection tools?
Im looking to buy a graphics tablet instead of using a mouse. Are all tablets compatible with photoshop, what is the best size working area to get and can anyone recommend me a tablet thats not to expensive as im on a budget.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI posted a copyright notice on my webpage asking people specifically not to abuse the copyright of my colourised images. These images are mainly 1900-1950's actresses, you know the sort of thing, Lillian Gish - Liz Taylor. Anyway, someone on the Louise Brooks forum said a friend had questioned my right to colourise these images in the first place, then claim copyright on what I had done. Now I don't want to be in the wrong, not to mention claim what I don't have a right to. Can someone "briefly" advise here. All I am saying, basically, is please do not use my work on your webpage, without asking.
If I have no right to ownership, should I remove my newly uploaded website and images? There are so many others on the net that I feel the "original" owners accept that's how it is. After all, I have never in 8 years of being online heard of any complaints, not to mention prosecutions.
I'm looking to build a new system (X48 motherboard, Q9450 quad core proc, 8GB ECC RAM, Vista64). I'd like to run with only 2 drives to keep the system relatively quiet but realize that a 3 drive config would be better for Photoshop performance. I do some photo editing and Web work with Photoshop so I'm not working with very large files but I do tend to have a lot of files and apps open at the same time.

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.
My 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?

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.

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.

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'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?

This is very annoying since it overlaps pieces of my black&white images distracting me. Is there any way to disable it?
Did you notice that when trying to grab a node on the audio line (especially near the end of the clip) the graphic tip that pops up saying "Delete the control by dragging outside the clip" ACTUALLY PREVENTS ONE FROM GRABBING THE DARN NODE TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT ! (Just shouting at my own computer here).
Is it my computer putting these annoying popup tips on the screen or is there a way in VS to turn them off.
When I open a CDR 12 file in Corel X6 all the tips of the arrows I have drawn disappear. This is a very annoying issue because my graphs contain mostly vectors.
