Photoshop

Post by Xizor »

Hey,

I have just got Photoshop again, its been a couple of years since I last used it to edit photos of minis and have totally forgotten. I cant seem to find a guide online at all!

I want to adjust contrast etc, crop around the models and put them on a generic blue-to-white background.

Can anyone help me?
Cheers,
Chris

Adding contrast is easy. Go to Image>Adjustments> Brightness/Contrast.

For cropping, select the crop button on the toolbar on the right. It's the left one on the third row from the top.

For blue-to-white background, use the "gradient" tool. It is also on the right toolbar. On the 6th row, the button on the right (it toggles between gradient and paint bucket).

Pick blue for the foreground and white for the background.

Hey,

Cheers GeOrc that is exactly the sort've guide I was after, and would show me how to do want I want too. However, even with the pictures I am struggling to work it out. Excuse my ignorance, the shame of it is that about 10 years ago I was pretty good at German!!

Does anyone have something similar in English?
Thanks alot,
Chris

Hey,

cheers for that, quite a usefull tool. It seems just to translate each word seperately, which of course doesnt form proper sentences.
Im sure there must be a guide in english?! Cant remember where I got one last time around!!
