New Learning Photoshop Techniques Revealed

[Florence Belushi]

Ghosting is perfect for pictures involving subjects in motion, taken
when the camera and the background is stable (not moving) and the
subjects move through, around, or across the frame. I have had great
success using this effect when photographing people moving about an
historic site or children as they scamper over rocks. I have also used
this effect for weddings and sports shoots. Example: In one wedding
photograph, the groom stood still at the bottom of stone steps to an
historic dwelling, his hand extended towards his bride, who slowly
moved down the steps toward her groom. My six deliberate 'clicks' of
the shutter created an airy, surreal picture of the wedding couple.
Depending on the speed of the moving subjects, the shutter can be held
down in rapid fire mode or each exposure can be meticulously
choreographed: 1) each subject deliberately positioned in the frame,
2) one 'click' of the shutter, and 3) repeat steps 1 and 2 to the
total number of multiple exposures you set in your camera.
There are several advantages of using any of the effects for the edges
on real images. One is that it reduces interference between steps or
detail and the halos from other, nearby steps. Another thing, the
light or dark halos make other features of the image stand out better
from the background. Start doing this effect on your images using
Photoshop by following several procedures: 1st step is duplicate the
layer holding the image; 2nd step - apply the conventional unsharp
mask; 3rd step - set the layer blending mode to "Darken" or "Lighten".
Photoshop Brush Palette is collection of all Brush Shape Presets that
allow you to create new brush, load, save or modify brush size, brush
shape and brush dynamic in one single palette. The primary advantage
of the Brushes palette is that you can define your own brush shapes
and adjust various exciting dynamics. Whether you're using a mouse or
a pen and tablet, every tool behaves differently based on the size and
shape of your cursor (the brush tip), and brush tips come in many
different styles (called brush shapes, or typically just brushes). A
big, round brush paints in broad strokes; a small, elliptical brush
paints in thin, hairline strokes. Of course, there's much more going
on in Photoshop than just big, small, round, or elliptical.
You may be looking at a photo you took on your last vacation of the
crystal blue waters on the ocean, but all Photoshop sees is a gray
ocean. Did you manage to snap a picture of a rainbow arching across
the sky after a summer evening storm? Photoshop sees it as a beautiful
assortment of shades of gray. And that famous pot of gold at the end
of it? To Photoshop, it's a big ol' pot of gray. Don't feel sorry for
Photoshop though. It's perfectly happy in its colorless world. In
fact, the only reason it shows us our images in color at all is
because we as human beings expect to see them in color. We wouldn't
know what to think if everything was appearing in black and white. But
not Photoshop. To it, life just couldn't be sweeter than in black,
white and gray.
Creating actions is fun and easy. All you have to have is a bunch of
pictures and then record them all together, start by clicking on
Record and the button below will turn red. Any action you perform in
Photoshop will be recorded. With the Record mode on, start editing
your photo. In our case, lets resize the image. Choose Image ->
Image Size, enter 450 for width (or any other sizes), click Ok. Click
on the record button to turn the Record mode off. Testing the action
Now that you have an action recorded, lets open up another image that
needs to be resize. This time, we'll just hit the shortcut key Shift
F2, or clicking on the Play selection button. You should be able to
resize in just one click. To exercise the usage of Photoshop Actions,
you can try recording more complex actions. Mastering actions will
help you perform alot of routine Photoshop tasks in shorter time. Have
fun.
New features in Photoshop CS2 make it easier to composite images in
multiple layers. In earlier versions it was necessary to select a
required layer in the Layers palette. But now it's possible to select
multiple layers by using a marquee tool. The Show Transform Controls
feature allows objects to be reshaped faster than ever before, and it
works across multiple layers. Smart Guides is another innovation that
makes it easier to align objects, even if they're on different layers.
People who learn on their own sometimes discover the best way to do
things, but usually they discover the wrong way to do things, which
causes recurring frustration and limits their ability to go on
learning new things. The time and money you invest today in your
Photoshop training will reward you in ways that you can't even begin
to imagine.
There is only two things you have too know about the ExtendScript
Toolkit program right now: Select target application, ExtendScript
must know which application you are writing the script for. In the top
left dropdown menu select Adobe Photoshop CS2 and if asked if you want
top start it choose yes. Running script, to run a script you have
written you press the button that looks like a play button. Reference
documents All objects have different properties that can be set and
methods that can be executed and right now you probably don't know any
of these, this is where the reference documents come in. The reference
document for JavaScript contains information about all objects
available in your scripts.
