Making Picture Changes ' Getting Help With A Photo Shop Tutorial Effect
While a picture speaks a thousand words, those words tend to have one main meaning '
with the possible exception of the still-mysterious Mona Lisa. But what if you had the
chance to change those words? Are you interested in having that chance? If so, all you
need to do is get help with a Photo Shop tutorial on effects.
Adobe Photo Shop today is the world's leading digital imaging software program, and it
allows users to edit their pictures with an amazing array of tools.
Tone ' With just a click of your mouse, you can immediately turn your 100% colored photo
into a black and white picture to make it seem older. You can also choose to give it a sepia
look for a similarly quaint but more artistic impact.
Text ' With the help of an Adobe Photo Shop tutorial on effects, you can also add cute text
or captions to and within your photos. Unlike older programs which require you to copy and
paste text with white backgrounds, Adobe Photo Shop has a transparent background so
that only the very shapes of the letters are pasted on your photo. With this option, the text
you're adding will be made a part of the very photo.
Selection ' Sometimes, you wish to create an effect on only one part of the photo. Adobe
Photo Shop anticipates this need, and even better, lets you choose the shape of your
selected part. When you've selected which part of the photo you wish to edit, all subsequent
changes will then take effect on that part alone. It's as easy and simple as that!
Mosaic ' Remember your old art lessons in primary school and you had to create a mosaic
project? Well, how about doing a mosaic version of your photo? It seems to require harder
work with only your keyboard and mouse, but think again. Thanks to Adobe Photo Shop,
you can create your own mosaic with just a click and even choose the cell size for your
photo.
Blur ' Faded patches in a photo are interesting, and you can intentionally make such
patches on your photo if there are none to begin with. Under the same category of tools '
Filter ' in which you'll also find other effect options like Mosaic and Pointillize, you can use
the Blur option and apply it to a selected part of your photo or all of it. Keep pressing the
Blur button until you reach your preferred degree of blurriness.
Color Pencil ' Have you ever imagined what your photo would look like if it had been drawn
using colored pencils? Imagine no more with the help of Adobe Photo Shop. Under the
colored pencil function (still in the Filter category), you can also choose the degree of stroke
pressure, paper brightness, and pencil width applied to your photo.
Neon Glow ' Do you want your photo to outshine everything else in its vicinity? You can
literally achieve that with the neon effects of Adobe Photo Shop. Once more, it can be a part
2. of or the whole photo that could be changed with this option. The impact of this function can
be modified according to neon color, glow, and brightness.
There are many other effects that Adobe Photo Shop can provide you and to change your
photo, but self-study and self-exploration won't get you anywhere fast anytime soon. If you
want to learn now, find the best Photo Shop tutorial in the Internet and start watching.

Making The Most Of Photoshop's Selection Tool
There is no photo editing or graphic design project that you cannot accomplish using Adobe
Photoshop if you are thoroughly familiar with the tools available.
The tool that seems to be necessary for nearly every application in Photoshop is the
selection tool.
The selection tool isolates objects for the purpose of editing specific areas of your image
without effecting the entire image.
The selection tool in Photoshop is actually four tools depending on your particular task. The
selection tool includes the Rectangular Marquee Tool, the Elliptical Marquee Tool, the Single
Row Marquee Tool and the Single Column Marquee Tool.
What can you do with the selection tool in Photoshop? The following are just a few
examples of projects or applications you might being doing in Photoshop and how the
selection tool can make your life easier.
Cropping
Cropping images requires that you use the selection tool to designate the section of the
image to be removed or cropped.
Adding Text to Images
3. If you plan to add text to an image or graphic design you can also designate the area to add
the text using the selection tool.
Isolated Color Work
Let's say you want to adjust the saturation or hue of a particular object in a photography.
The selection tool will allow you to isolate the object and then adjust the color as needed.
You can adjust the entire selected area or isolated color channels.
These examples are obviously a very small sample of the ways you might use the selection
tool in Photoshop. In fact, the selection tool is used for hundreds of different photo editing
projects or more.
The selection tool in Adobe Photoshop is probably one of the most important tools that you
will use in your photo editing and graphic logo design work.
As you learn Photoshop be sure to develop a solid grounding in the use of the selection
tool.
