Post your Photoshop Awesomeness!!!

[Patrick Long]

Is that a window full of baskets?

YOU LEAVE MY BASKET WINDOW ALONE!!!!!


LOL


I live in a garage, and it has a room built into one half of the garage, outside that window is a workbench, that I had put some old Easter baskets on from when I was a kid!

Good eye!

Who? Me? Or Me?

Your like that guy who has 11-12 of himselves doing different things in his room.. it's so real looking it's fricken scary. D: I forgot his name..

Just out of curiosity, what do you use to cut out the pictures? It seems as if you were not using the lasso tool (any of them) so I'm trying to put together other methods and I still can only figure out 2 or 3 things and they still wouldn't look that nice.

Confusion?

lasso is old.
its called quick select.

theres many ways to "cut out" any picture.
depends on the way you like or the way that will work best.

I did this as a school project a few years back

I think the best method is the Pen tool. and I shall splain why.

Your lasso tool...try to draw a circle with that...har har har..neva! not me anyways,

Your polygonal lasso tool. This is my second best selection method. And there is a good reason why I don't use it. When you get in there and you're click click click clicking away..you start to go faster and faster, because you're into it...suddenly, it seems as if your finger gets a mind of its own and clicks one extra time in the exact same spot...and when you double click, you close up your selection. no good.

Magnetic Polygonal tool. It could work..but I feel that what it snaps to isn't always what I want.

The Pen tool...You can double click, triple click, quadrupal click..you never close your selection....actually, it's not a selection *yet*. On top of that, when you click and drag, you can create rounded selections, which will definitely reduce the amount of clicking. When you're done with the selection, you just Command + Click on the layer and it will make a selection. Then, go back to the layer below, where you need your selection, and then do what you gotta do.

I hope to do a short video tutorial on extraction. I have a very nifty tip about contracting/expanding your selection and then feathering..and it makes your extractions look so much better.

Hope this helps

Thats interesting! I know quite a bit about photoshop myself but didn't know you could use the pen tool for selecting.

Once you have the line drawn in the other layer what do you do to make it a selection? (command + click?)

Also, how do you make it merge so well? Opacity sucks.. and I've tried blurring the edges and they still turn out all whacky like.


I'm just curious about all your guys' methods.

Trust me. I've looked up and read through tons of photoshop websites and tutorials. I've learned a lot from the tutorials (especially friend made ones!) but honestly, all the youtube videos are terrible.

I made this in a Photo2 class!

It was supposed to be blocky and separated.
THIS ONE WASN'T.
It took me like... 3-4 hours of photoshop to match it all up perfectly and I still forgot some things. D:
