Question about brushes

2008-09-29T01:48:55Z

Hey guys! My friend has Elements 2 (she so needs to upgrade). She wants to try using brushes (because I keep telling her how cool they are) but sadly cannot find any that will work with her program. Do you guys know of a resource site that she can find brushes for E2? Any help would be appreciated. :)

Any suggestions on how to get this type of coloring?

2008-09-22T15:27:10Z

Hi, all. I have Elements 6 and am trying to (belatedly) make some Olympic icons. I'm having trouble getting the bright reds & blues like the graphic under the cut.

Graphic by fight_luser

I don't have selective colors in Elements 6 and I can't find channel mixer, so I'm assuming I don't have it, either (and I can only find the plug-in for Elements 5).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm still very new to all of this. Thanks :)

This would be an example of the pics I'm trying to work with...

Hello all. I'm extremely new to this whole elements thing, and I was wondering if anyone could clear up a couple things for me.

My main problem is that I don't know where anything is. I've been following the tutorials on here, and when it says "Go to Layer > Adjustment Layer > Selective Colour" I do that, but I don't have a selective colour option. I have a Levels, Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation, Gradient Map, Photo Filter, Invert, Threshold, Posterize. When it tells me "Go to Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen" I do, but there is no sharpen in my filter. I'm using Elements 6, so are they located somewhere else (I tried looking, but didn't find anything)? Or are they an add on or something that I have to buy/download?

So yeah. Help, please?

hmm

2008-09-03T16:42:15Z

I've been having problems with sorting out the colouring on these pictures:

I just want to make them brighter and add more colour
im using Elements 2 with the add-ons

thanks :)

Tutorial: Swirly line textures in Photoshop Elements

2008-06-28T23:07:26Z

OK. So I decided to attmept my hand at making my own swirly textures. I looked at other tutorials but all the ones that I could find were designed with use of a "pen tool". Since I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 it doesn't work for me because as most of you know Elements doesn't have a pen tool. So I played around and this is what I came up with.

Tutorial on Borders in PSE 4

2008-05-29T06:50:19Z

Preview: Translates to all graphics programs. =]

Dashed; Rounded; Regular; Double Border

r.o.u.n.d.e.d.

d.a.s.h.e.d.

I'm going to use 100x100 Icons because they're smaller. But this works for all types of banners. And it translates to all graphics programs. =]

I'm using this picture by the way. I just cropped the eye and did some enhancing to it and added a brush. http://i31.tinypic.com/1zgyu7b.jpg

1- Round:
-Create new layer.
-Click on the rectangle tool. Try to get as much of the banner.
-Once you have it the way you want, click on the magic wand tool. Click on the white rectangular part. Go to select to inverse (make sure you have the banner part selected in the layer panel) and click delete. Go back to the rectangle layer make the opacity to 0%. Merge.
-Save the banner to (save for web//gif).

ex:

2- Dashed:
-This is done when your banner is finished. All the layers are merged.
- Select All
-Screen capture//print screen your image. (windows= print screen; mac= shift+command+4)
- Create new banner 100x100 (or whatever your working with). Paste your screen cap. Use your arrow keys to get it to where all four sides of the dashed lines show up.
-Merge everything and save.
-To create a colored dashed; do a normal border then start from step one of the dashed tutorial and the color shows through.

ex:

3- Regular Border:
-Maker sure your finished layer is selected.
-Edit>Stroke> (settings: 1; black; inside)

ex:

4- Double Border:
1--Maker sure your finished layer is selected.
-Edit>Stroke> (settings: 3; blue; inside)
-Edit>Stroke> (settings: 1; black inside)

Is there any way to create a halftone effect in Elements?

I've seen tutorials for other programmes, and they don't appear to be translatable.

This is extracted from a sig tag, so please excuse the white tiny text over the top.

Basically it's the blending of black into white by using the spotted effect. I've seen a couple of other tutorials that just say click on a menu & select Halftone. Searching high & low (and even using the Help feature) I've failed to find an equivalent in Elements.

Help?

Cursor problems

2008-03-15T00:25:45Z

I have this random problem with my cursor about two or three times a week. It's getting rather annoying.

You see, I open my PSE3, and everything is fine and then suddenly, the cursor will turn into a hand and none of the tools will work. I even restart the program and it still doesn't work. Does anyone else have this problem?

Clarification

2008-03-08T19:30:22Z

I have visited the Earthbound Light website for channel mixing, selective coloring etc, and it says specifically that you can't download those addons for PSE 4.0 which is really unfortunate because that's the program I use (ironically)

Do you know where I can find a website that has free selective coloring, layer masks, and so-on? Thanks so much!

Just two -- both in PSE 2.0 with the Grant's Tools add-on. It's a thing of beauty.

Am in the process of writing two more. Yep...

Where to install textures in PSE6?

2008-02-18T22:33:01Z

Hello. I'm a very new newbie at anything PS related so please bear with me. I have PSE 6.0 and have recently discovered the joy of brushes. No problems figuring out how to install them and use them. However, I can't figure out where to install textures. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My OS is Windows Vista. Thanks in advance.
