Layer MasksAuthor: Uncle Frank |
Layer Masks are one of the most important, yet daunting tools available to Photoshop users. They are often explained in Photoshop books, but seldom explained well. In an on-line forum on dpreview, Uncle Frank offered this tutorial that used layer masks to turn a simple snapshot into a real portrait. I turned it into HTML and, with Uncle Frank's permission, am pleased to offer it here. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Photoshop PresetsAuthor: John Beardsworth |
John wrote this straightforward HTML
tutorial
especially for this site. It
shows Photoshop Windows users where actions etc should
be saved - not in Photoshop's program files - and how you can
add them to Photoshop's menus using shortcuts.
I wish I'd had this when I was cluttering up my file system. |

Photo Art ExamplesAuthor: Bob McCormick |
Bob
McCormick "accumulated a bunch of Photoshop related software over
the years" and found it impossible to remember all the possible
effects. So he documented them in a series of Word files using a
single image supplied by Jet Leira. Mike Warren, who hosted them
previously and brought them to our attention, saved these as PDF
files which he made as compact as possible, but they are still big.
Start with the readme file for how to use them, then download what
you need. Thanks Bob and Mike! (IMPORTANT: You must have Acrobat
Reader 4.0 or higher to open these files.)
