Photoshop CS4: A Picture Worth a Thousand Words

In this issue, we’re going to take a portrait and replace the person’s image with text (think 2009 Grammy posters). Pick a portrait that offers good contrast—a photo that’s very dramatic and dark probably won’t work as well.

For the best results, choose a photo that has a light background (or select the background around the person and make it lighter). Create a new document (File>New) in a size that’s smaller than your photo: the specifics don’t really matter. Switch back to the photograph.

Photoshop Retouching Tutorials. Photoshop Tips: The Brush Tool. The brush tool in Photoshop is extremely useful and has been used to form the foundations of some breathtaking designs. When I first used Photoshop at about age 14, the program revolved around the brush tool for me and I was of the mindset that you couldn’t really put a design together without the use of countless custom brush sets! Since then, I’ve – erm – matured a little as a designer and it’s fair to say I rarely use custom brushes now.

Now, we all know that there are some amazing and elaborate brush sets out there, but we’re going to take a look at the default brushes in Photoshop and see just how creative you can be with them.
