Free 3D Photoshop Objects from Pixelsquid - CreativePro.com. Online image libraries come and go, and the good ones get swallowed up by Getty. And they mainly offer variations on the same themes of glossy couples, evocative landscapes, and urban grime. The latest offering from Pixelsquid is not only unique in the type and range of imagery it offers; its Photoshop panel is nothing short of revolutionary. Plus, for a limited period, it’s completely free!
Pixelsquid’s library features cutout objects, all of which are high quality photorealistic renders of 3D models. What distinguishes them is the fact that after choosing your object, you can then rotate it to view it from any one of their preset angles. Once you’ve registered on the site and installed the accompanying Photoshop plug-in, you can select a model through your web browser and, rather than downloading it directly, click Add to Photoshop. Here’s the really clever part: the new layer is added to Photoshop as a low resolution Smart Object, which you can then move and scale as you wish. Tags. Select Hair in Photoshop CC Using Select & Mask | Think Tank. In this blog post I will be showing you a great method of selecting hair in Photoshop CC. I will be using the ‘Select and Mask’ tool which is quick and easy to use, but also produces effective results.
First, select a suitable image to make your selection from. For better results, it is important that your subject has a good contrast against the background. In this example, I am using an image downloaded from istock. Step 1 Open your image in Photoshop CC. Step 2 Now we are working in the ‘Select and Mask’ tool, using the ‘Onion Skin’ view mode. Step 3 Using the ‘Quick selection’ tool in the left toolbar, roughly brush over the area you wish to select. Step 4 Now you have a selection, take the transparency back up to 100%. Step 5 Here we will begin to refine our hair selection using the ‘Refine edge brush tool’. In this instance, I have zoomed in using the Zoom tool (magnifying glass) so I can see in better detail.

Adobe Photoshop CC 2017: Select and Mask technique tutorial | Professional Photographer Magazine. By Stan Sholik 12.16.2016 Photographers with the Creative Cloud subscription for Adobe Photoshop anticipate, and sometimes dread, the big new-name version releases that Adobe engineers have prepared. With the Photoshop CC 2017 release, both camps seem to have found something to discuss. Only two additions in the new release are truly important for photographers familiar with Photoshop. And one of these, Select and Mask, discussed in detail in the tutorial below, has become the subject of considerable controversy. (Don’t worry, I have a solution for you.) The other addition, which can be quite useful, is the ability to adjust each eye independently when using Liquify > Face-Aware Liquify > Eyes. Other changes in the 2017 release, such as the new search panel (cmd/ctrl+F), the design and Adobe Stock templates, support for SVG Open Type fonts, and new Creative Cloud Libraries capabilities seem more aimed for new users and designers. © STAN SHOLIK The original image capture before masking.
Blending edges when you are making a composite photo. Combine images in creative ways. Learn creative compositing techniques for combining images in Photoshop. Learn techniques for adding images to a composite, blending images together using layer masks, and changing the shape of an image by transforming a smart object. Add an image (0:17); Add layer mask (1:22); Place Embedded Smart Object (2:45); Apply Overlay Blend Mode (3:20) In this series of short videos, we’ll explore how to use Photoshop compositing techniques to create a multi-layered image of a dreamlike ocean scene. We’ll be using layers, layer masks, Smart Objects, and blending techniques to build this composite from the ground up. The first step in creating a composite is to add a new image. I’ll choose File > Open and choose the Sunset Sky file. I want to be able to see both the new sky layer and the background image at the same time, so I’ll get the Move tool in the Tools panel, then click Opacity at the top of the Layers panel, and lower the opacity of the sunset layer.
I’ll choose the Gradient Tool. Combine images with Auto-Blend Layers in Adobe Photoshop. Use the Auto-Blend Layers command to stitch or combine images with smooth transitions in the final composite image. Auto-Blend Layers applies layer masks as needed to each layer to mask out over or underexposed areas or content differences. Auto-Blend layers is available only for RGB or Grayscale images. It does not work with Smart Objects, video layers, 3D layers, or background layers. Among the many uses of the Auto-Blend Layers command, you can blend multiple images of a scene with different areas in focus to achieve a composite image with an extended depth of field. Auto-Blend Layers applies layer masks as needed to each layer to mask out over or underexposed areas or content differences and create a seamless composite.
