Here's a subtle coloring technique I came up with today. I tried to make it translatable to other programs, so the effects I use are pretty simple.

Go from this: to this:

Program: Photoshop Elements 4 (Noo I don't have that cool selective coloring.)
Steps: Six
Difficulty: Easy
Translatable: I should hope so. It may take some tweaking.
PSD: No

Subtle is good, right? )

So... I opened my Photoshop CS3 to start making some icons... but for some reason no matter what tool I choose (text tool, cropping tool) my cursor stays a hand (like the hand tool) and I can't make anything. I haven't had this problem before and I don't know if I managed to push something last time I used photoshop or if something else has happened. I did make a screen shot of my working area if you can spot something I done.
Thank you for any help you can give me!


EDIT Re-starting the computer helped... but next time I'll try pressing the spacebar like some of you have suggested! THANKS!!!

program: adobe photoshop CS2
translatable: no (selective colouring)
difficulty: very easy
steps: 4
comments: bright colouring tut. useful for dark or bland images. really only good for screencaps or photographs; i tried it with anime caps and it only succeeds in making them look flatter.

Hello everyone!
I made a graphic last year, and I lost my PSD files so I forgot how to make this glowing line.

I was about to make a mini-movie icon, then noticed that my screencaps were looking kind of pixelated and dithered. I thought I'd try my hand at cleaning it up, since I've never done image enhancement/restoration before. What methods are recommended? Every time I get told to use the smudge and clone tools, I make a total mess of everything.

And the other question is - does anyone know anything that could clean up all the screencaps at once? There are 47 frames I had ready for the icon and the thought of manually smudging/clone-stamping every one of them makes me kinda scared.

I'm using Photoshop 7.0 by the way. TIA.

Current Mood: mellow

Happy almost Thanksgiving everyone. :)

I have a quick question. I'm looking for tutorials that turn real life pictures into a cartoon style. I've tried the archive under colorings and anime/manga, but nothing I've seen fits what I'm looking for. I remember there being a Buffy tutorial, though I can't seem to find it. There was also a tutorial with Avril Lavigne where she fades into a sketch. Anything like that would work.

Thank you very much!

Happy Holidays.
