what i personally recommend is for you to learn about using "lab" colour in photoshop....you can do exactly what that plugin does yourself by converting the image to lab first and playing with the a and b amongst others.
lab colour has to be one of the most unused, yet one of the best things inside the beast known as photoshop!
I learned this technique (amongst others) from a great graphic designer and team leader, Sam Blake:
- one part is cutting out the silhouettes of the people.
- create a duplicate of that layer, use guassian blur at 15pixels (depending on the size of your image...may be much lower...play around), then set the blending mode of this layer to "darker colour"....brings out some lines, etc
- create a duplicate of the original layer, drag it to the top, use guassian blur at 15pixels (depending on the size of your image...may be much lower...play around)
use "exposure" and over expose the duplicate. set this layer to "overlay" and set the opacity to 40%
then lastly, just use a layer/folder mask to delete away the areas that you don't want affected by the effected! (lol) ...while keeping your original "clean" image as the base underneath all the other layers.
all the settings are approximations and work different for each image and image resolution. and its best if you have some form of stylus pen (ie: wacom tablet)
of course as with anything, there are thousands of ways of doing these effects. good luck and happy experimenting!

How can I get this stroke effect?

Does anyone know any kind of brush stroke or effect I could use to get the sort of drawn line effect shown in the black outlines in this image?
http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq285/peachymanatee/photo-24.jpg
Thanks for any help!

Haha, Scott! He's in the Illustrator forum and that's the advice you give!? Hehe . . . oy
Though I agree, doing that would get nice results, but then you have to vectorize and clean up anyway.
I suggest - stroked lines and Distort > Roughen with very subtle settings. Expand Appearance and then grab the Warp Tool (play with settings [Select the Warp Tool and press ENTER], probably using very little Simplify, if any) and finesse the lines around a bit. I call it "beating up your paths" - click like a madman, randomly, all over the paths to get 'em all random/natural looking.
I like the illustration style, hope you get it figured out.

How do I get this edge effect

I pulled a photo from a pdf for online viewing so it is poor quality. It shows an effect - blurry edges - which I have tried to put onto a photo but I cannot do it. Most of the effects I have tried involved vignetting, but I have also tried selecting all - the border - twisting effect, etc. But I haven't been successful Can anyone help?
Thanks
PS Tried to upload photo but this is not allowed, apparently. I hope my query above will be sufficient (though it probably isnt - the picture tells the story, but I am not allowed to show you).

Hi Scott
Thank you for replying and I can see that you have got the effect on the sample photos, but I cannot replicate it!!
I have the mask (red) and have covered the edges of the mask with a large soft paintbrush, applied the lens effect. When I leave the quick mask I am left with a selected area (the brushed area). If I deselect this area the picture remains the same (no blurring at the edges). If I make a new layer then all I have is an edge in the shape of my brushed area and if I click off that new layer then the layer I had quick masked is missing the edge - just left with a jagged transparent area around the centre of the original photo.
I am not used to using masks - my knowledge of Photoshop is quite limited - so perhaps instructions going 1, 2, 3 would be better for an inexperienced person like myself.
The photo I am working on is a landscape with a building and is much more complicated than the sample I showed (and the one you worked on). Maybe I need to do a heavier blur/brushing???
Thanks

How can I get this text effect

I'm not sure if it's a bevel and emboss effect or what. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. For some reason it won't let me add a gradient. It can be another other color though.

WHAT iS THIS EFFECT CALLED? OR HOW CAN I GET THIS EFFECT?

WHAT'S THIS EFFECT CALLED? OR HOW CAN I GET THIS EFFECT?
first of all i don't know what's this kind of photo effect called, i just describe it as bright, clean and w/o lack of contrasts
secondly, i wanna learn how to achieve this effect.....really don't know how
need help here....
btw i don't know where to post this post....so i just start from here =)\

For my part you are welcome, Lisa.
then what about the color tone here? it's very pure and clean, a touch of blue i think, is it from the nature light or from photoshop effect?
The colour tone is (hopefully) a result of the nature of the natural light faithfully reproduced by the high quality of the camera (and film if relevant).
You will get quite different and sometimes rapidly changing tones of colour depending on the natural light; this is different for different times of day, different directions, different weather conditions.
Just to mention a few comparisons, the warm light from the setting sun is quite different from the cool light from the clear bright sky through a (high) window to the north at noon, and the light of the sun can be changed immensely by the huge white (or grey) filter sometimes applied to (parts of) the sky.
You may do many things in Photoshop, but photography is still an art form, not just cheating, at least for some.
I believe one of the real provings of cameras/films is the ability to reproduce the delicate but profoundly different tinges in snow on a clear day.

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

This looks like the final logo was created with several layers probably in Illustrator, then the file was most likely imported into After Effects and revealed by animating mask paths.

I found a post from Alope that told me exactly how to fix it.
Go to:
Settings - General - Restrictions - put your pass code in - Facetime - turn the switch to ON
Worked perfectly to stop the message that said, Not authorized to do that!

Thank for the quick response, is there any way of syncing video files wirelessly from IPhone to Macbook or can this only be done by connecting IPhone to Macbook using USB Cable.

Hi Bpaitin,
Go to Settings>General>Usage, and under iCloud, click on Manage Storage>click on your device, then under Backup Options, turn Photo Library off and then back on. See if that clears it up.
If it does not, reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if the issue is resolved.
Cheers,
GB

HT5129 I keep getting the message MobileMe has been discontinued - iPhoto willmove albums you have published to MobileMe Gallery. . . but I have not knowingly published any photos to MobileMe. How can I get this message to stop. It's getting annoying.

I keep getting the message MobileMe has been discontinued - iPhoto willmove albums you have published to MobileMe Gallery. . . but I have not knowingly published any photos to MobileMe. How can I get this message to stop. It's getting annoying.
Also, how can I remove duplicate photos in an album without doing it manually?
Thanks!

When the prompt pops up next time you start iPhoto select Learn more. Then click on iPhoto preferences and select the Accounts tab. Delete your MM account and the quit iPhoto. Next time you open iPhoto the problem should be eliminated.

Hi!
I have a series of QuickTime files that I am trying to
present in a nice
interface. I know how I can create this effect in Flash- but
given the
number of .movs I have, I am thinking of sticking to QT. The
example I have
in mind is
http://www.apple.com/aperture/quicktours/
I went through the source code and tried to replicate it by
changing some of
the values but it does not seem to work. I thought about
using frames to
ease complication but I find frames cumbersome. I am open to
suggestions but
would prefer to keep the video clips in QT versus converting
to FLV.
Thank you.
Kelvin

Hi(Bonjour)!
Welcome to the forum.
It will be difficult to compose this effect in FCE without commercial plugins like Nattress's Big Box of Tricks (G Glow dissolve).
But you can try this: create a colorized transparent document (yellow and red around the frame) in Photoshop. Save in PNG. Import into FCE.
Put it on V2, over the edit point for your video clips in V1.
Try to keyframe opacity values, animate the position with erratic displacements and add some twirling or distord effects (that can be keyframed too).
With some patience, I'm sure that you can achieve a such effect.

How can I get this effect?

Hello! Good day to all.
I was wondering if any of you experienced photoshop users can help me to learn how to get this effect.
Here is the "before edition" image:
And here is the "after edition" image:
I got this effect playing around with filters in my Adobe Elements, but now that my father bought Photoshop CS6 Extended, I took advantage and installed it on my laptop aswell. The problem is, I have no idea how to use most of it.
I've been learning some tricks on YouTube tutorials and courses, but I just can't find the way to get this one effect.
I'm very gratefull for you taking the time to reading this and helping me, and I wish you a great day.

Lots of ways to do that. After applying the Threshold adjustment, you could use Gaussian blur followed by levels and drag the black and white sliders toward the center like this:
Or
You could use the Magic wand with Contiguous un-checked, and select the blacks. Then use Refine Edge, and add some Smoothing, and wee bit of feather. OK that and fill with black (Alt/Opt backspace with black as your foreground colour)
Now invert the selection (Ctrl Shift i or Cmd Shift i) and fill with white. You will loose fine detail acording to the settings you use in Refine edge - especiall the amount of Smoothing.
Or
Copy the layer with Ctrl/Cmd j
Add a new background layer, and fill with white.
Select the blacks with the magic wand (remember to uncheck contiguous in the Options bar), and with the selection in place, add a layer mask.
Now completely fill the layer (not the layer mask) with black.
You can now adjust the effect with the Mask Properties panel. If you can get it right with Feather you can make as many adjustments as you like to fine tune, but if you use Mask edge, you only get one go because it is destructive editing.

When I went to turn on My Photo Stream in iCloud settings, its not there. How can i get this?

When I went into icloud settings to turn on My Photo Stream, its not there. I only see photo sharing. How can i get My Photo Stream? I treid deleting the account on ipad and then setting it up again and that did not work. Thanks

that is mysterious
try this
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
