Tutorial – How to Use the Clipping Mask in Photoshop

The Clipping Mask is a simple tool to use in Photoshop. It remains largely unused because so many folks just don’t understand how to use it.

Basically it works with just two layers. In the Tutorial here I’m using a Flag in the upper layer and a USA Font in the lower layer. Once it is all adjusted to fit you simply click on “Create Clipping Mask” in the Layers Palette and Photoshop clips the flag inside the Font and puts it all on a Transparent background for you. I put some samples in here so you can see some of the other things you can do with this tool.

The Photoshop Tutorial for this is HERE

Hi,

It has been less than an year since I bought my first dslr.

I have been auto-correcting the exposure in Google Picasa so far, but now I want to move beyond that, and I would appreciate any help in that.

There are a lot of posts and books about how to process and touch certain photographs, but I wanted to know what real experts did in real life, and why.

I have posted a few pictures I took in this set - www.flickr.com/photos/obelcontinuous/sets/72157632982242117/ . I would really like to know what kind of processing/retouching you would apply on them and why. I would be very grateful to learn from your expertise.

Looking forward to your feedback,

Ob

Hey fellow flickr friends - im not sure what to do after this.

- What kind of background can I put the angry apple in?
- how do I remove the highlights around the edges of the body?
- how can I blend the lips more into the apple?

Any other advice would be much appreciated

Prior to buying a CS6 licence I used Ps7 for many years, I do basic editing and layered collages. I do like the way CS6 uses tabbed images and I do like it's speed, much faster than 7.

The gimmicky tools like the quick selection tool etc only work with under certain circumstances and then only if you are lucky. After trying them, as you do, I went back to paths and smooth etc.

On the whole though I do prefer it to 7.

Does anyone here recall or know of a website that has photos of say celebrities and/or models that are posted for retouching or honing our skills? I saw the site ONCE a long time ago but never found it again... Thank You! ;-)

photoshop- No image preview on Open dialog box in CS6

Subject posted in Photoshop.com forums "photoshop- No image preview on Open dialog box in CS6"
Not sure if anyone cares or not, but it is just for info in the event some are waiting for a fix to the subject issue. The preview pane I know was in CS3 and CS5 but has been removed in CS6 intentionally.

It appears according to Photoshop.com forums, that the loss of image preview is caused by Adobes bending to the wishes of OS vendors, both Microsoft and APPLE. It's be cited in the forum that that there will be no forthcoming fix. If you want to preview a PSD image it will be necessary to hopefully utilize a third party codec.

I use the image preview as quite often, when working on a photo and saving all its layers as a PSD.
Just glad I did not deactivate/remove CS5, as I am using CS5 more and CS6 less.

Again, this is just info if anyone is interested.

Photoshop Tutorial – How to change Backgrounds behind a Tree

This Tutorial resulted from RubyBlossom entering an original photo of a large tree into the DUC Challenges. Since the background was nothing but sky, as is the case with most trees, I saw an opportunity to use a much overlooked tool which has been in Photoshop for some time, The Color Range Tool, which resides in the Select Menu.
This tool can be a bit tricky to use and it make take more than one try at it before you are satisfied I think you will have to agree that it has vast potential.

I did download the version CS3 in order to apply my "TOPAZ" and "alian skin" plug ins; the CS3 did not come from Adobe... (they don't sell that version no more), anyway, I could use it only for one month. So I bought (also recently) the version CS5.5. This did not came cheap at all ! But the policy of Adobe seems to be that you only can purchase the latest versions! At that time, they did not speak about the comming version CS6! I recieved a mail from adobe, that I could upgrade towards CS6 for free... they did not value there promise, in spite of a few phone calls and mails. Never the less, I'm pleased with the CS5.5, so much faster! So much to discover! The program takes a lot of space indeed, but the works you make take even more space. Since my hard disk was getting full, I bought me an external HD capable to store 2TB, so space was not longer an issue. If 3D objects are a topick to you, why not go to "POSER"? Me, I wont go to POSER: I've got enough on my plate to master the CS5.5!

Markus.
