The Quick Selection tool is hands down the best tool Photoshop offers for making difficult selections of irregular shapes. It automatically seeks out and snaps on to edges as you paint; as you build up a selection, it learns and adapts to target the details you need while excluding the rest. Simply paint with the tool to select shapes; hold Alt while painting to remove the selection in areas you don’t want. Quick Selection also appears in the Select And Mask command. It’s a good idea to run complex selections through Select And Mask to improve the edge. 2 SINGLE SPLITS…

As such, it helps if you know a few transforming tricks. When you use the Move tool, tick Show Transform Controls in the tool options at the top and you’ll see a bounding box appear around the currently selected layer. Click on this to begin transforming. Drag the corner points of the box to resize the layer, or drag outside the box to rotate it. Hold Shift while resizing to constrain the image proportions, and Alt to resize from the centre point. (Shift+Alt does both at once.) Right-click while transforming for more options. DOWNLOAD THE PROJECT FILES…

WATCH THE VIDEO https://goo.gl/44gttM In today’s age of crisp, digital perfection, there’s something endearing about old-school chemical film flaws. In days gone by, camera makers faced the problem of light leaking into the camera body and accidentally exposing the film inside. The issue plagued cheaper cameras in particular, often resulting in an orange glow fogging around the edges of the frame, where the sides of the roll of film were most exposed. Now, rather than an entire unexposed roll of film sitting in the camera, the digital sensor is only exposed for the duration of the shutter speed, so light leaks are only an issue with really long shutter speeds; and even then the results aren’t as attractive as the orangey yellow bleeding that occurred with film. It’s one of…

The image-editing process begins as soon as you’ve transferred your photos from your memory card to your computer. 1 The first stage is to begin sifting through your pictures to discover which are the keepers. The image organizer that comes with Photoshop is ideal for this task. Adobe Bridge has controls for keywording, rating and filtering your images, and there are handy tools for batch renaming files, creating panoramic stitches, making contact sheets and more. Launch Adobe Bridge and navigate to a folder containing new images. Use the cursor keys to quickly flick through the images and click below a thumbnail to add a star rating, or use the keyboard shortcut Cmd/Ctrl+1-5. You can then filter your images by the star rating to group the ones you want to work…

The latest version of the raw file processor included with Photoshop is so powerful that most photos can be processed entirely in the raw processor, with no need for further editing in Photoshop. And by making your adjustments in Adobe Camera Raw rather than in Photoshop, you’ll ensure the best possible image quality, because raw files contain more picture information than bitmap images such as un-layered PSDs and JPEGs. Here’s our reference to the features you’ll use the most in the Basic panel.
