How to Remove Photobombers and Other Objects from a Photo in Photoshop You set up the tripod, line up the shot, and get ready to take the best picture of your life. You stare through the viewfinder and as you press the shutter release a random passerby leaps into the frame. You’ve been photobombed. Sometimes you’ll notice right away and be able to take another shot, but often, you won’t see the image intruder until you get home. Rather than trash an otherwise awesome photo, lets look at how you can use Photoshop to get rid of photobombers and other unwanted background objects. The Easy Way: Content-Aware Fill Open the image you want to edit in Photoshop. Then, grab the Quick Select Tool from the Tools Panel or with the keyboard shortcut W. Resize the tool tip with the [ and ] keys until it is a little smaller than the object or person you want to remove. If the Quick Select Tool accidentally selects something you don’t want selected, hold down Option on a PC or Alt on a Mac and drag over the unwanted area. The Advanced Way: Clone Stamp

Todos os que trabalham com áudio no computador já se depararam com a sopa de letrinhas. Mas, afinal, o que significam estas siglas e o que nós fazemos com elas?

É comum o fabricante incluir vários tipos de drivers com um mesmo produto e o usuário deve escolher o(s) tipo(s) adequado(s) ao seu caso.

Use Layer Masks with Selection Tools in Photoshop Elements Today we’re going to talk about using Layer Masks with Selection Tools in Photoshop Elements. If you didn’t read my last tutorial about using the selection tools, you might want to read it first. As I mentioned in that article, I rarely use those selection tools. I use layer masks instead – they are much more forgiving. So today, we’re going to talk about how to use layer masks with selection tools for the best & most efficient photo edits. What do I mean when I say layer masks are more forgiving? Take the eyes in this image, for example. Not noticing, I sharpen the area and move on to other edits. However, if I had used a layer mask instead, it would look like this: (I clicked on the layer mask while holding down alt/option+shift to display my mask over my image like that.) Since the eye is selected on the mask, I can always return to that layer and paint in the unselected area with a white paint brush to extend the area of sharpening.
