^ you could open it in another layer and then resize it and move it around until it's where you like it then play with the blending options and opacity etc until you like the way it looks.

Look at the some of the other pages here to see how to use layers and stuff if you're not sure.

Question....

I remember back in the day (about 03') there were some websites where people posted their own Photoshopped NBA wallpapers and whatnot (sites called Clippertalk, or somethin' like that)...I never really kept up with these websites since then, but I did pick up a helpful tip on getting 1024x768 photos from "CBS Sportsline"....

What I would do is:
-Scroll through the photos
-Right-click on any one I'd want
-Paste the URL in another directory, and the picture would appear in 1024x768 format instead of the small version on the main site....

(If anyone else does this, for either PhotoShop reasons or just to collect photos...please post....)

Okay....I recently went to the site to get new photos....and I noticed that the URL of the photos have changed, so the usual process isn't working.....what im asking is...


Does anyone know how to make the photos on CBS Sportsline larger than those on the site? Preferrably 1024x768....??





P.S. I'm not asking for any NBA wallpaper sites, so please don't post those...

^ you used to be able to replace the "lower" in the url to "1024x768" to get the bigger pictures... but that doesn't seem to work anymore...

i was able to do this method:

Another nice effect is leaving only one color but making the rest black and white.

---

thing is that, im trying to do this one which has multiple colors in it (ice cream cone with some colorful ice cream on it).

if im only able to do a layer mask---IT ISNT ALLOWING ME TO MAKE ONE, it isnt an option for me. i cant click on it---maybe something's wrong with my setting/s?

i try to duplicate it but it says BACKROUND, not layer.

 

[kdwallace]

^you need to double click on that layer and it will change to layer 0.

If you leave it as the locked background it won't let you do stuff to it.

What are some ways I can get this effect.

 

[smoothysmooth]

For that picture of my JB's, I just took a picture in good decent natural lighting.
1.Cropped the shoe
2.Go to Select>Feather; I used about 1.5 pix
3.Press Ctrl+J to copy the shoe to a new layer
4.Go to Image>Adjust>Brightness/Contrast and play with the settings. I lowered the brightness and raised the contrast to put more emphasis on the patent leather
5.Go back to the first layer and Black it out (Edit>Fill)
so

kd,

did i do it right? was i using the right tool?

also, when you say:

"i used the layer mask..."

is that the ones from LAYER > ADD LAYER MASK > HIDE ALL/REVEAL ALL ? if so, hide or reveal?

 

[airjordans4life]

i just tried the feather function and it didn't do anything. I didn't notice any change.

[solefresh23]

Can anyone tell me why my picture is ending up like this. I am using two layers, and extracting the copy and then i go to filter gallery, and change the bg, but sometimes it wont be right.

 

[airjordans4life]

looks like you're also paste'ing some of the background images. use background eraser to clean some of that up.

Also, I was just curious, what exactly does "Feathering (CTRL+ALT+D)" do?

---

What feathering does is "softens" the edges of pictures. Meaning it gives
it a slight fade or blur, depending on how much feathering you do. It helps
your selection blend in with your background. Usually I like to keep it around 1-3pixels.

After you click feather, hit the DELETE or BACKSPACE button and you
will notice the difference. Make sure you inverse your selection if for
instance you want to feather yourself. It has to be on the outside of your
self.

Hope that helps.

Peace.

[solearius]

^Yup!

That's exactly what I thought FEATHERING did. After pressing BACKSPACE I noticed the difference.

THANKS!

how do you isolate something? when ever i use the magic wand it selects only a piece of the pictureand not the whole picture. if i use the lasso tool its hard for me to trace on the outline picture.
