    Deckled edge

    I wanted to add a deckled edge to a photograph to give it the appearance of an old print. There are a zillion tutorials online on how to do this that show several different methods. I chose one that works, but I wonder what is your favorite in CS 2014?

    Best way to change backgrounds

    Partial. This post was moved from another thread by a moderator in order to get a wider audience. It was a thread on removing part of the the background. For a full background, like putting in a new sky, I'd use a Layer Mask unless it has very clean edges and the Magic Wand or the Quick...

    Best way to change backgrounds

    OK, now I'm asking for help.What technique have the Gurus here used to change the backgrounds in their submissions? While I have CC 2014, I tend to use older methods using Layer Masks and exposing what is underneath. I've done that for years. I rarely use the newer Content-Aware Fill in...

    Image Edit request {Free}

    The hand was moving when the photo was taken, and evidently the shutter speed was slow. That kind of blur can't be repaired in PS unless there's another hand that can be used to copy/paste over the hand and blend it in. What I did was add a background under a Layer Mask and created a "hole"...

    Image Edit request {Free}

    Thanks, and you are correct. The boy was sitting next to the open door, and that light blew out his hair somewhat and also brightened his back unnaturally. This is one of problems of not giving consideration to the setting when taking the photograph in the first place. Problems are created...

    keyboard shortcut question...

    Keyboard shortcuts are great, and I use a lot of them. However, sometimes it's easier to not to use one. After creating a Layer Mask, I'll "merge visible" to get a layer that can be worked on. I use Layer>Merge Visible while holding down the Alt key. It's actually simpler this way than...

    Image Edit request {Free}

    This will sound harsh, but you need to give more thought when taking the photograph. By posing your subject in front of distracting background clutter, you create the need for time-consuming modifications in PS to correct problems that could be avoided. The door frame, the open door, and the...

    What's with "Program Error"?

    Recently, using CC 2014 V 14.2.1.x32 (Windows) when trying to use some tools, I can't. Program error, it says. It's happened trying to open the clone tool, the eyedropper, and something else but I can't remember what. It's not a permanent problem. Closing and re-opening the file or...

    Few Photos

    Regarding #1, a horizon either has to be perfectly horizontal or have a good compositional reason to be off. Your image is just enough off to be distracting.

    Actions?

    I used to use quite a few Actions for special effects. Now, with Nik and OnOne, I create "favorite" effects instead. I haven't used Actions for this for quite some time. Are Actions for certain effects (ie: Dragan) used much anymore? Anyone have any Actions or Action sites they recommend...

    Cars and tuning!

    Maybe they were equipped with the Citroën hydropneumatic suspension system used on the 1950s MX model and others.

    Layer Mask Technique

    Thanks for the replies. First, the image provided is not one that I intend to use for anything. I just grabbed one with trees and a multi-patterned. multi-colored background as an example because I'm interested in learning how to improve my technique using a Layer Mask. It's soft for two...

    Layer Mask Technique

    Using PSCC(2014) and a Wacom tablet, when I use a layer mask to cut out an area with the intent of allowing something else to show in the cut out area, I can get nice, precise lines. However, I don't always want nice, precise edges. For example, this image is of a model train layout. Using a...
