In this tutorial I will explain how to sharpen an image using the High Pass Filter in Photoshop CS4. Let's open up the image that we worked with in the previous article (skin color correction)In order to use this filter, we must duplicate the layer. Then, with the new layer still selected, go to Filter - Other - High Pass (if under the Filter menu you can't find Other, click Show all menu items).

As i talked in my post regarding white balance, almost any digital camera (even DSLRs) are not able to reproduce exactly the real life colors, and tend to give a reddish/blueish tint to the whole image, especially to the skin.Let's open this image in Photoshop. Before beginning, you should duplicate the layer. White Balance was manually set, and the image is taken straight out of the camera.First

The process of changing the eye colour in Photoshop is actually a pretty simple one, requiring only a good mouse (it's hard to do this with a touchpad) for the selection of the iris.Step one: open a person's photo in Photoshop (a picture taken with a high megapixel number is preferable). I'll open the one belowNow, zoom in (Ctrl and +, and press Alt while click&dragging to center the eyes)

With the help of Photoshop (I used CS2 for this article), you can create a website layout in a very few steps. But notice that the site will not work until you add functionality to it (you can do this by using another program such as Dreamweaver).Let's say that you downloaded the following free template (or you just made one yourself):It's just an image, but to make it useful (and to reduce the

This is the first article from the series of articles regarding photoshop text effects. A lot of Web 2.0 layouts contain mirrored text, just like this one:Let's begin by creating a new file (600*300 pixels). Fill it with a black colour (Edit - Fill - Black). Type some text on the canvas (The font i used is Myriad Pro, size 60pt). Don't worry if it's not aligned with the black background. You can

In this post i will talk about photoshop layers. Adobe introduced this for the first time in Photoshop version 3. Simply put, a layer is an image on top of another (the background image is the first layer). If the blending mode is set to Normal, the top layer will become visible (the items in it) and the layers below him will not show up (unless the items in the first one are smaller than those

Let's say that you were in a hurry, and took a picture that is actually a little bit twisted. Just like this oneTo correct it, you need to find the Ruler Tool (under the Eyedropper Tool), then you need to draw a "line" joining 2 points that are supposed to be inline if the image was straight. Follow the example below and start making the first click somewhere in the red selection, and the second

In this tutorial i will explain how you can censor someone using a filter in Photoshop. Let's open up this image and say that we want to censor the girl with the tongue outFirst of all, you need to make a selection of the whole face using the Elliptical Marquee Tool (first you must click&hold on Rectangular Marquee Tool in order to see it). The shortcut for this is M.Then, go to Filter -

What is this threshold and what's its use? Well, thresholding is a method of image segmentation. If we apply it to any given picture, it will show us the same picture but only in 2 colours: black and white, whitout any grays.And how does this help us? Well, you can:1. set the white point or black point of a photo (very useful)2. create duotones pictures (just for fun)So, open this picture in

Have you ever took a picture and noticed that the subject is a little bit hard to find, or you just wanted to cut off some items? Here's how you can do it.Let's say that we have this photo, with a butterfly in it, and we want to trim down the picture to make the butterfly somehow be more emphased.Let's open the picture above in Photoshop CS4. After doing that, select the Crop Tool from the

Did you ever take a picture on a winter day and realized after that the snow is kind of blueish? Or someone's face turned out to be a little red than it's supposed to be?This happens because common digital cameras (whitout the manual white balance option) have some difficulties in setting the correct temperature of the white point.Let's take for example this picture:It is obvious that the colour

A histogram is a graphical display of the colour tones in the picture across the brightness scale. Almost every digital camera (especially DSLRs) have this very useful function. And why is it useful?Let's take for example the picture belowIf we open it with Photoshop and hit Ctrl+L (or Image - Adjustments - Levels) a new window with graph will show up looking like this:We can interpret this

First, i must mention that i'll be working on an 1280*800 monitor, so if you have a 4:3 screen mode things will look different. Until recent i've worked with Photoshop CS2, and now that i've updated to the newer CS4 i must say that the UI changed a bit.The default Workspace is set to "Essentials" and from the drop-down menu you can choose different layout modes like painting, video, web, etc. I
