Master Photoshops Selection Tools in Under 30 Minutes The Selection Tools In Photoshop In this article I’ll explain some of the different and powerful selection tools that are available in Photoshop. This guide is aimed at beginners, but can hopefully provide a few extra pointers for more advanced users. Personally I find it very easy to get stuck using only one selection tool, when it can be beneficial to experiment with several in your work. The Marquee Tools: The Marquee Tools consist of the Rectangle, Elliptical, Single Row and Single Column selection tools. The Rectangle Tool The Rectangle tool allows you to draw rectangles or squares. If you’d like to move the square’s position when you are dragging it out, hold down ‘Space’, move the square to your desired position and then release ‘Space’. The Elliptical Tool This tool allows you to draw circles & ellipses. The Single Row & Single Column Tools The Single Row Tool and the Single Column Tool allows you to select a single row of pixels across the image. The Lasso Tools Lasso Tool Colour Range
The Best New Features of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Photoshop CS6 has some great new features that designers are sure to love. Upgrading from CS4 or CS5 is simple and straightforward, and the new tools are intuitive, practical, and extremely helpful for a wide variety of design purposes. Adobe put a lot of time and effort into their newest iteration of Photoshop. Content Aware Move This is one of the most impressive additions to Photoshop CS6. Once you have made your selection, make sure that the Content Aware Move Tool is selected, and simply move your selection wherever you want it. The New Blur Filters Field Blur Field Blur is an excellent filter for giving your photos a realistic blurred look. It doesn’t take much, since I only set the blur effect to 15px to get the result shown above. A great feature for all three new blur filters is the handy dial in the center, which allows you to adjust the position of the blur on two of the filters, and increase the amount with the dial manually.

Handy Techniques for Cutting Out Hair in Photoshop This post was originally published in 2009 The tips and techniques explained may be outdated. When trimming out images in Photoshop, human hair or animal fur always proves troublesome and can be tricky to achieve a realistic look. Here are two techniques I use on images with both plain backgrounds, and those with a varied background tones, each achieving pretty decent end results. Technique One: Images with Plain Backgrounds The best photos are those professional studio type shots that are taken against a plain white background. Open up your image in Photoshop. Head over to the Channels palette and review each of the Red, Green and Blue channels. With only the new channel selected, adjust the Levels (CMD+L) to dramatically increase the contrast between light and dark areas. Due to the slight variation in tone of the background, it appears grey in the darker areas. Switch over to the Burn tool and target the shadows to dramatically darken down the inner areas of the image to pure black.

Simple Cel Shading with Adjustment Layers Photoshop Tutorial | Maca is Rambling digg Hello! Here is a little tutorial that I arranged for some of you who are interested on how to cel shade using the Levels Adjustment Layer in Photoshop. Now, what is cel shading and why do I spell it wrong? First of all it is actually spelled right – “cel shading.” Cel shading (often misspelled as ‘cell shading’) or toon shading is a type of non-photorealistic rendering designed to make computer graphics appear to be hand-drawn. Here in this tutorial I will teach you just that with a style that I use often in my drawings. Step 1: Draw your line art on a layer. It can either be drawn on a layer with a white background (especially if it is scanned) or a transparent one. With a white background, set the blending mode of the layer to Multiply. Step 2: Lay the base colors under your line art. Underneath the layer of your line art, create layers where you can lay the colors. Added green to clothes Added dark green to shirt and cape And here are all the base colors laid out in the drawing.
