Cross-processing is developing color print or slide film in the wrong chemicals — for example, color negative film in slide chemicals (“C-41 as E-6″) or slide film by the color negative process (“E-6 as C-41″). Not surprisingly, this causes wild color and contrast shifts and requires lots of trial and error. But for a period in the 1980s and 1990s, cross-processed images were very much the vogue, with Nick Knight’s fashion and studio work being arguably the most influential.

In this article I’ll explain some of the different and powerful selection tools that are available in Photoshop. This guide is aimed at beginners, but can hopefully provide a few extra pointers for more advanced users. Personally I find it very easy to get stuck using only one selection tool, when it can be beneficial to experiment with several in your work.

As we’ve now entered the Summer months I thought that it would be nice to take a look back at Spring, and design a poster celebrating the passing of spring into summer. As nature sees growth, many designers use this transition as inspiration for their own works.
This is the image that we will be creating in this tutorial. You can click on the image below to view the full-sized version:

It’s a themed illustration about “No Beauty,” this hides an idea that no beauty lasts forever. Suddenly all that’s great and beautiful falls apart. All the happiness is gone with the colorful pieces. The final outcome has its own mood, even thou it’s colorful, it’s still kinda frightening.

In a previous tutorial, we looked at the new tabbed document windows feature in Photoshop CS4, which finally gives us an easy way to view and switch between multiple document windows when we have more than one image open at once in Photoshop. But Adobe didn’t stop there. They took things even further with Photoshop CS4 and included lots of great new ways for us to arrange multiple documents on the screen, all of which can be accessed from the Arrange Documents option in the Application Bar, a new feature of the Photoshop CS4 interface. In this Photoshop Basics tutorial, we’ll take a quick look at some of the new layouts we can choose from, as well as how to navigate around images inside a layout.

In Part 1 of our look at creating Photoshop custom shapes, we learned how to create a basic shape using Photoshop’s Pen Tool, how to combine the Pen Tool with Photoshop’s other Shape Tools to add detail to the shape, and how to turn our completed shape into a custom shape. We then learned where to find our custom shape in Photoshop and how to add it to a new document using the Custom Shape Tool. Finally, we looked at how to add multiple copies of our shape to a document, how to change the color of shapes, as well as how to rotate and resize them.

In this Adobe Photoshop tutorial, we’re going to look at a great way to create unique and interesting photo borders by using other photos as displacement maps! Previously, we looked at how to create photo borders with masks and filters, which is an easy way to come up with interesting results simply by applying some of Photoshop’s built-in filters to a layer mask. The downside to using that method though is that you’re using the same filters every other Photoshop user has access to, which means you run the risk of creating the exact same border effects everyone else is creating. That may or may not be an issue for you, but the method we’re going to look at here completely avoids that problem because it uses your own photos to create the effect, and since presumably you’re the one who took your photos, you can use them to create photo borders that are as unique as you are!

In this Photoshop photo effects tutorial, we’ll learn how to add some action and a sense of motion to a photo with a zoom blur effect. We’ll use Photoshop’s Radial Blur filter to add the initial blurring, then we’ll bring back some of the original image using a layer mask and the Gradient Tool. Not only is this a great (and popular) way to help bring an image to life, but the entire effect can be completed in less than five minutes once you’re comfortable with the steps.
