    Merge 2(or more) images seamlessly

    I took a little different approach. A path would normally have some sort of edge to it, so I made a selection of the bottom row of cobbles, rotated, and placed one on each side of the path. Then I just used the clone tool to make the edges less sharp. The cloning is sloppy, but could be done...

    How do I improve these Photos?

    Today's cameras allow you to take multiple shots of the same scene at no cost to you, and allow you to shoot wide and crop down to the best view of the scene. Your photograph #8238 (window with flowers) could have been a much better shot if you had shot wider and included all of the flowers and...

    Illustrator Rotating an object

    Yes, I saw the posts in "New Posts" and not in the AI Forum. Didn't look to the right-hand side. Apologies.

    Illustrator Rotating an object

    Just noticed that most of your earlier posts are about using Illustrator, not Photoshop. If your question is about rotating an object in Illustrator, disregard my comment.

    Illustrator Rotating an object

    You haven't exactly knocked yourself out in providing details of how you are going about the rotation, but if you are using Free Transform to rotate a selected object, you will often distort the shape because you are pulling the arrows and not the arc. If you use Transform>Rotate, it's...

    A newbie in making

    I belong to a camera club where several members are very proficient in Photoshop and some are very, very new at it. Your question comes up quite a bit from the members who are just getting started with Photoshop. My suggestion is "Let your photos determine how you go about learning". When...

    Good books/other ways for learning professional Photoshop compositing?

    I have shelves full of books on Photoshop and Lightroom, but all for earlier versions than I now use. I stopped buying books when the prices went over the $25 point. I made a much better investment: a second monitor. I now put tutorials up on the second monitor, Photoshop up on the primary...

    Help with skin tones

    I'm an experienced user of Photoshop (using CC 2015 at present), but on photos that have never required any adjustment of skin tones. The type of things that I usually photograph don't involve skin tones. However, a new grandchild has changed this. Daughter-in-law is snapping photos of the...

    saving raw/nef after edition

    You open a RAW file, make whatever adjustments you want to make, and then click "Open Image". That opens the file in Photoshop and you proceed from there making any adjustments in the Photoshop file you want to. That file is saved using whatever format you choose: .psd, .tiff, jpg, etc. If...

    Is reducing jpg size inorder to save space a good idea?

    That "no difference" argument related to ppi. An image displayed on a computer screen at 72 ppi is just as clear as an image displayed at 300 ppi. But, if you want to print that image, the 300 ppi is what should be used. There are arguments that the 72 ppi figure is too low, and that it...

    Computer for CC 2015

    Thanks for the replies. I try, I really do, to provide all of the info people might need to reply to my question in the initial post. But, there's always something left out. The problems started well before I installed CC2015. The problem is with more programs than I indicated, but I tried...

    Computer for CC 2015

    Adding a question about SSDs. Can I add an internal SSD to this computer? Or, is an external SSD as good? How do you determine the size needed for an SSD? My current internal HD is 543 Gigs free of 920 Gigs, so I don't use a lot of C: disk space. I also have two 1 TB external drives for...

    Computer for CC 2015

    I shoot a Nikon D300 and always shoot RAW. I import through LR from the card converting the NEF file to a DNG file. The RAW file is 4320 x 2868 pixels, and about 10 MB file, so that's what's in LR, but I'll export to PS after cropping to 1800 x 1200 pixels at 300 ppi. I do tend to work in...

    Computer for CC 2015

    Lately, everything is running slow. CS 2015 PS and LR take forever to load, and there are delays in PS when using tools. LR is slow. PS crashes fairly frequently, but on loading and not when working on an image. I may have outgrown my computer: HP P6-2100, AMD A4-3420 APU w/radeon hd...

    Wacom issue

    Yep. All the time. I happened quite a bit with my old Bamboo, and it happens with my new Intuos. At first, I'd plug and unplug, re-install, and re-install drivers. But, the tablet works even after that message. So, I quit worrying about it.

    Pen Tablet help with Photoshop and Illustrator

    I used a Wacom Bamboo for several years, but it finally died. I just replaced it with an Wacom Intuos that is approximately the same size. I wouldn't be without a pen tablet, I use it in Photoshop, but I don't use Illustrator. Wacom is the brand of choice for most. You need only the smaller...

    Photoshop's Magic Wand Tool or Quick Select Tool

    Not really an answer to the question, but anytime I use either tool (and I use both) I make sure the History Brush is operational. I've never quite figured out why it is operational sometimes, and sometimes not, so I check. With either the Magic Wand or the Quick Select Brush, some bit of...

    Help with removing writing

    I think your project would provide more emphasis to your design if the background didn't obscure the shield so much. I've changed the colors in the background to demonstrate this. I haven't attempted to make any other changes. However, a project like this should please you, not me. Do what...

    Help with removing writing

    I don't know what you used as a search term, but the snake in the link that IamSam posted is a rattlesnake, not a cobra. The rattles have been covered in the cobra version. As to your efforts, to me the colors you have used make the snake almost indistinct from the background. It's very...
