228. A Beginner's Guide to Actions and Droplets

by freephotoshopguides (16 tutorials)

Dec-2-2006

Photoshop’s Actions palette lets you record, save and load sets of tasks that can be performed on your images, such as resizing, adding borders, sharpening images, etc. Anything you can do in Photoshop can be recorded into an action and then later played back on an image, so you don’t have to manually repeat (or remember!) the process.
Photoshop’s “Droplet” functionality, on the other hand, essentially takes an action and wraps it in an external application that can then be used to launch Photoshop and automatically perform certain tasks on the image or images which have been dragged onto the it (hence the term “droplet” since you literally “drop” your images onto the droplet’s program icon).
Actions and Droplets are a great way to automate common tasks, particularly if you’re working with a large amount of images and creating them is easy. Let’s start off by creating an action, and then we’ll make a droplet from that action.

230. The Extract Filter

by dophotoshop (7 tutorials)

Nov-17-2006

When you choose Filter > Extract, a huge dialog box will pretty much take over your screen. This is command central for removing the backgrounds on soft-edged objects and for objects in motion. Before we start working with the tools in the Extract dialog box, let me give you an overview of what’s needed to successfully extract an image from its background. Extract needs three pieces of information: which areas should be thrown away, which areas should be kept, and which areas contain the transition between the first two areas (including semi-transparent areas).

231. Color Burn Mode Made Easy

by dophotoshop (7 tutorials)

Nov-16-2006

This mode is not easy to describe or understand, but can be very useful nonetheless. Just as with all the Darken blending modes, white doesn’t do anything in Color Burn mode. Black will leave any red, green, or blue numbers that are 255 alone and force all others to zero.
When you paint with a primary color (pure red, green, or blue), you’ll end up with the amount of that primary color that was in the underlying image and nothing else. When you paint with a color that’s made out of two primaries, Photoshop will strip the third primary color out of the underlying image. Here’s where the goodies come in.
Paint with shades of gray to darken and intensify the colors that are in the underlying image. This can work wonders for darkening bland-looking skies, making them more colorful while at the same time maintaining the bright white clouds, like this case below.

by tutorialstreet (22 tutorials)

Nov-1-2006

Making complex selections and creating the most effective channel (or mask) for compositing operations in Adobe Photoshop can be a fine art. Frequently the best mask for a given image already exists, ready to be used. In this exercise, I’ll show you a method for creating a mask directly from an object in an image. This technique works best for objects on a dark background.

235. The Reality of Resizing: Changing Image Resolution without Changing Quality

by layersmagazine (5 tutorials)

Oct-31-2006

Possibly one of the most confusing aspects of dealing with digital imagery is resolution-specifically, what it really is and how changing it affects an image. You'd be shocked at the number of brilliant designers who don't know how to change an image from 72 dpi to 300 dpi-without turning it into a pile of pixel mush. That is, until now.
Today we're going to talk about the relationship between resolution and pixels, and what it means to you. We'll discuss the difference between upsampling-a rather evil practice of increasing the resolution (and thereby the number of pixels) in order to make the image larger than it originally was-and changing the resolution of an image without changing pixel data.
