Developing Illustrative Type to Complement Your Style | Vectortuts+
My name is Jonny Wan and I am a freelance illustrator based in the UK. My style is based upon shape experimentation, patterns and textures and I draw inspiration from ancient cultures and civilizations. More recently I have rekindled my love for type and now developing a way of working with type that is congruent with my illustrative style so the two can work in tandem when applied to commissions that requires both. This article aims to just give you a glimpse as to how I have personally approached this development, which is very much still ongoing. 1. As with anything creative it is subject of criticism and personal opinion, the important thing to remember is that there is no right or wrong in how and in what direction you choose to explore your work. When starting to create type that compliments your style, heavy experimentation is the key and one thing I cant stress enough is to not be afraid to jump straight into the deep end. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Hidden Gems in Photoshop CS5: Customer Requests (aka – JDI’s) | PHOTOSHOP.COM BLOG
Every version of Photoshop needs to turn heads with exciting, breakthrough technology. Aiming high, however, doesn’t mean forgetting the “small stuff.” The release of Photoshop CS5 incorporated a record number of innovative technologies that came direct from the brilliant minds of the Photoshop engineers and scientists in the Advanced Technology Labs at Adobe. With this in mind, the Photoshop team decided to try something new. In order to select JDI features, Bryan solicited information from many avenues, including blogs, user research, the over 70,000 strong National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP), sales, customer support, forums and evangelists (Russell Brown and Julieanne Kost). The Photoshop team always takes customer feedback into account when approaching each new product cycle. Fueled by the encouragement of a very passionate community, the team exceeded their own expectations and delivered dozens of JDI features in the final release.

How Can I Touch Up My Photos Without Making Them Look Photoshopped?
Adding the gaussian blur layer is a cool idea. Do you normally blur the layer only slightly, so that when you erase it over the focal point its a subtle draw of your eye to the focal point? Well it depends on the subject and size of the photo, but yep that's the basic idea. My camera doesn't always do focus very well, so I go and add it as a nice effect afterwards. Also works well for shots where someone managed to get a hand or leg into the background because they thought they could speed past when I took the photo :p Depending on your subject, I think this could make your photo very "Photoshopped." I think you're objective should be to create what the eye sees as opposed to what the camera captures. I think you're best approach to editing photos is to ease up to it, and once you think you have it where you want, walk away for a half hour and then come back and look at it.
Photoshop Compositing Secrets: Extracting Hair | Photoshop Compositing Secrets: Extracting Hair
Home > Articles > Adobe Photoshop > Technique 📄 Contents If you've ever worked on compositing multiple graphical elements into one glorious image, you know how maddening it can be trying to make hair look as natural with a new background as it did in its original location. Matt Kloskowski, author of Photoshop Compositing Secrets, shares some great tricks he uses to get even the wispiest of baby-fine hair to cooperate in Photoshop (no matter how badly it behaves in real life). If you want to get into Photoshop compositing, one of the first features you'll have to conquer is selections. If you've ever tried selecting people (especially people with wispy hair) from one background and placing them onto another background, you know that it can be a huge pain in the neck.
