How can i edit a photo to look like this?

hey, i just started using photoshop and i recently took a lot of cute summer pictures. i would like to make them look a little more dreamy, abstrct, artsy... maybe a little vintage...
what i'm aiming at is something like this:
i know its probably really hard to make something like this, but what would be some basic tools and steps to take?
thanks so much

Could you post a lores of one of your unedited images?
Anyway, I would assume a combination of Curves or Levels and Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layers to edit the contrast and color of an image combined with a vignetting effect (also achievable in many ways) may achieve some of the effect.
A Layer with the Filter Clouds (black/white) applied, set to Blend Mode Linear Light and with reduced Opacity may help achieve a somewhat blotchy appearance.
As for the »confetti«: like the previous poster pointed out Brushes may do that.
Randomization in the Shape Dynamics, Scattering and Color Dynamics might help there.

How can I covert a photo to look like a drawing?

I would like to convert a photograph into an illustration.
For instance, a portrait photo would become like a comic strip drawing.
How do I do that?

Here's a couple of pictures I took of my grandson and made into an illustration using filters. I forget how I did it, but I could reconstruct the steps if necessary.

If this is what you want, let me know. You can make the colors more comic-book-like by playing around with saturation and contrast.
It's best to provide an example of what you're looking for. Your conception of a comic book drawing can be anything from Peanuts to Prince Valiant.

How can I create a button that looks like this?

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to create a button in photoshop for a web project I'm working on and I found something similar to what I'm trying to do already being used online. I'm trying to get something similar to the bottom row of buttons in this image:
The bottom row of buttons uses a gradient overlay effect... but there is a small darker area in the top left corner of each of those images. It looks to be exactly the same in each image... meaning I'm guessing it's not hand drawn with something like the burn tool?
How would I go about doing something similar? What's the easiest way to reproduce the effect shown above keeping it consistant from button to button?

One way is using layers.
Color layer on the botton so changing colors simply change color layer.
Place all your image effects on the overlying layers.

Thanks for the question.
The BlackBerry 8800 smartphone has 4.2 or 4.5 software as the latest. BlackBerry 5, 6 or 7 device software is not available for that model.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

How would I format my table to look like this?

Hi, I need to learn how to use tables to format the table to look like this.
http://img695.imageshack.us/i/screenshot20100206at945.png/
I've tried messing around and watching some tutorials. but I don't really see examples of this particular type of style. Most examples I saw only has the first row and first column high lighted.
Please explain to me how to get the "objective, weighing factor, parameter" separated without bars and making the stuff underneath that tile have a certain color.
Thank you

figured it out haha thanks

How can I view my photos in "Events" like in iPhoto? How can I create events? I have 55,000 photos and 1700 events so the only way I can possibly manage my photos is using events that are one slide in size.

I have 55,000 images organized into about 1700 events. The only reasonable way to view my library is using events in iPhoto where each event has one image That still leaves 1700 images to sort through but that is a lot easier than 55,000 images. In the side bar is a folder with "iPhoto Events" but those views still show all of the slides. How can I create events and view my photos as events as in iPhoto? Events are critical for large libraries and has been my primary way to sort images.
Thanks!

I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) . I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
Haha! I should have paid attention and read between the lines! My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do! I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy. I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events) ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

How can I see what my eBook looks like in Mac Preview?

I just wrote and published an ebook online. Some of my customers who use a Mac have mentioned the Table of Contents has weird symbols in it.
It looks fine on my Windows machine.
Turns out they are using the Macintosh Preview program to view my pdf file and my eBook is showing up odd when using that program. It works fine in Adobe Reader for Mac users, but not when they use Preview.
Is there a program I can download to my Windows computer which will emmulate the Mac Preview program so that I can see what it looks like using that software?
Thanks

UPDATE:
A customer sent me a screen shot of the table of contents. I used Microsoft Word to create the Table of Contents which made the table contents clickable (i.e. click on the section and you'll jump to it in the ebook).
I'm betting the problem lies with the fact that I used Microsoft Word to create the TOC and make it clickable.
Any thoughts on how to fix this while keeping the TOC clickable?
Also, I'd still like to know if there's a Preview program I can install on my Windows machine.
Thanks again

Maybe you had installed an action into your previous version of photoshop elements?
Anyway here's an action that will work in pse 11, although the look is a little different.

How can I preview what transitions will look like without applying them to a clip?

Is there a way to preview transitions from the "transitions"-panel (show an example of them applied) like there was in Final Cut Pro?
I'd like something line the preview box that is in the "modify transition"-panel, but without actually having to apply the transition to a clip.

You will need to file a feature request for that.
We used to have something similar in Premiere 6.5 and earlier.
Everything changed with Premiere Pro 1.
Missed that feature in the beginning, now I don't anymore.
Most common transitions you know upfront what they are going to look like.

How can I create a text reveal look like a sharpie mark being erased, ala the Zero Dark Thirty trailer title cards?

Hey all,
Fairly new to AE, but I am looking to create an animated slide show for a documentary wherein the title card text reveals itself in a way that looks like it's declassified - Sharpie marker being erased - ala the Zero Dark Thirty trailer title cards.
ZERO DARK THIRTY - Official Trailer - In Theaters 12/19 - YouTube
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Dan.

Simple Stroke-based wipes with a measure of Roughen Edges thrown in on top of Brush strokes created in Photoshop or Illustrator using Bristle/ Art Brushes. Basic stuff. Just typing in "stroke reveal" on a web search will hit you with gigazillions of tutorials.

¿How can I edit a Photo without mask and remain without mask?, ¿How can I edit a Photo without mask and remain without mask?

I want to edit an .png or .jpg image which has no mask and, once edited, that image could remain without mask.
¿Is it possible to do this with iPhoto and how?
Thanks and regards.

iPhoto has no layering or masking. For that kind of work use an external editor:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
