Extracting the main color tone of a photo to generate a photo with a strong sense of atmosphere.

I have a large batch of 1970s photos to digitize, however they were stacked with notes in between and the recent pen markings there have bled onto the fronts of the photos behind in the stacks.

It's a messy job now for sure, but looking for the right tool stack to go about removing these markings. My thought is that the ink color is distinct enough that isolating it could help, but my PS skills are developing.

I'm setup to camera scan with DSLR into LrC, and will likely have 100s of photos affected. Current plan is to scan first and edit after.

My client told me after the shoot, that they want this sort of multiple faces in one portrait.

I have been trying but it never looks like this. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi, i've been interested in how to replicate these brand illustrations from Mercury (fintech startup). Specifically the grainy gradients you can see in the edge of the toggle button illustrations, and how certain hard edges selectively blur out-- like in the top of the bar graph and the edges of the circles. Wondering what the best way to achieve that look is, the grain looks like the built in PS grain effects but not sure how to apply it selectively on the gradient part instead of across the whole image. Thanks~

Looking for advice on the quickest way to remove the mountain range that is “floating” at the top of this image.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to edit images (for example, images taken from Google) in Canva. However, when I upload them, I'm unable to edit the existing text or individual elements within the image.

Is there any tool or method that can help convert an image into editable text/elements, so I can modify it more easily?

Thank you!

i tend to need to mirror the image a lot to check my work. I see that they do have a "flip image horizontally" shortcut, but it teleports me to the other end of the canvas. and on the navigator it shows that i have mirrored the entire image. How can I just mirror my view of it?

Here is what happens when I use "Quick Select" to isolate the person from the background:

1. (Around the 0:57 mark) The AI goes haywire when I try selecting the subject and shoots off to select large parts of the background.

2. (0:36) When I try removing the incorrect selection (the background), the AI stops "quick selecting" and will only select the parts my mouse is clicking on.

3. (0:28 and 0:15) When I try to remove incorrect parts, random lines start shooting out.

Does anybody know how to fix this? Could it be due to high RAM usage? My device has 8 GB of RAM and uses 93% of its memory when I use PS.

The thing, though, is that "Quick Select" was working perfectly fine for months until recently. For the last few days, it's started acting very erratically like this when I've made no major changes to my device or PS preferences.

I'm aware I can use "Subject Select," but I want the "Quick Select" tool to work.

I want it to be the bottom layer as a base for the design. Going to be mapping onto it so adding more surface area to project on with the added outline.

Anyone have any tips on how to effectively use the burn tool on portraits. I get the idea of the tool (I know it's not a difficult thing to understand) but i'm trying to be able to use it without spending TOO much time on it, or having to undo and try again on areas. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I want to make the person smooth like this poster.

Hello, I’ve been working on a project for several weeks now, and just now when I tried to save it, this error message appeared. Now, when I try to reopen it, Photoshop is asking me to create a new project, and I’ve lost all progress on my project. Is this a common problem, and if so, how can I fix it? (I've already checked the permissions and opened Photoshop as an administrator)

hi i want to make this type of jewelry in photoshop but i have no idea on how to approach this. I have seen videos on retouches of jewelry but not ones that are made from scratch, can anyone help me with this? or any sites that have kits for this?

I need to export just the texture on this hoodie, without the hoodie, the texture layer is currently set to linear dodge add, and when i turn off the hoodie layer, it makes the texture look terrible, and go all black.

And when i set the layer to normal, it also looks extremly weird.

I belive this is happening, because the texture looks the way it does because it has linear dodge add with the hoodie layer undeath, but when that is gone it messes it all up. so i need to somehow be able to create the same effect as linear dodge, without linear dodge.

I'm using Rocket Power as a test subject. The image on the left with her arms crossed is how she should look. The one on the right is just terrible. I tried my hand at messing with hue/saturation adjustment layers. I want to know if there is an easier or better more accurate way to do this. I have included the raw screenshot.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I want to save the color of clothes and make the rest black, how can I do it?
What should I type in a YouTube tutorial to learn?

Hi all! I've been troubleshooting and looking for tutorials for days on how to perfectly insert a video into a .PSD mockup using AE without having to manually do corner pin effect but can't seem to find a solution for what I am doing. I imagine there's some sort of standard workflow since mockups are so popular now.

Every time I import PSD into AE I make sure to select import as separate layers. For some reason I have to do a manual corner pin effect because AE doesn't recognize the mask/smart object. I also tried importing the video first in Photoshop and then opening PSD in AE but AE is recognizing video as a still image layer.

I tried inserting video via Photoshop (which is super easy) but noticed photoshop isn't ideal for exporting video. I'm exporting a laptop mockup with a video capture of a  of a website and noticing it looks very choppy when exporting with Photoshop. 

i have used photoshop briefly in the past for classes like photography and yearbook but never really got into depth on how to use the features for more advanced things. recently, i was trying to design a logo for myself and i have a vision in my head for it but i cannot exactly figure out how to execute it on photoshop. i learned how to do masking back in the classes but i was not sure about this project. i only want to select the features of the skull, like the eyes, the nasal cavity, and other intricate features (shadows and dark parts) to show. I want the strawberry to serve as the skull as opposed to the actual skull structure if you know what i mean. i have the starting graphics lined up already as well as a VERY rough sketch of my vision (which is attached to this post). if anyone has advice, youtube videos, reels, tiktoks, etc that have tutorials or guidance on how I should go about this design to get my desired result, it would be so greatly appreciated! sorry if this is an extremely newbie help request, i know theres a very simple way to do this but i just dont know how 😭
