Create a Desktop or Printable Calendar

Create a Desktop or Printable Calendar with Photoshop ElementsThis Adobe Photoshop Elements tutorial will demonstrate how you can create a calendar. Depending on how you want to display your calendar, you can either create one for your computer's desktop, or you can create a calendar that can be printed off on your inkjet printer. The only difference between the two will be the size and resolution of the document. http://www.grafx-design.com/04elements.php

Brighter, Whiter Smiles with Photoshop

Everyone wants a brighter, whiter smile... at least that's what my television tells me every 15 minutes. This Photoshop CS2 lesson will demonstrate how you can brighten and whiten the smile in any of your digital portraits. Along the way you'll discover how to use the Magic Wand and the Lasso selection tools and you'll learn about the Hue/Saturation adjustment dialog.

Sepia Toning a Photograph with Photoshop

Sepia Toning a Photograph with PhotoshopThis Photoshop CS2 lesson will demonstrate how you can add a color tone, often called "sepia toning" to your black & white photos. Traditionally toning was added to a photograph using an additional chemical process (often quite stinky), after developing and printing, to give the photo added longevity. Another benefit was the lovely, often delicate tones that these treatments lent to the photographs.

Photoshop Tutorials -- Red Eye Removal

Red Eye Removal with PhotoshopEven with today's smart digital cameras, using an on-camera flash can result in the dreaded "Red Eye" syndrome. We've all seen the photographs... with the people looking like weird alien creatures (usually smiling and holding liquid refreshments of some nature) their eyes shining bright red... pretty spooky stuff. Well it's time to dust off that shoe box of old photos, get them into the computer, fire up Adobe Photoshop and fix the problem once and for all.

Creating a Flag in the Wind Effect with Photoshop

This tutorial will show you how to create a flag that seems to be flapping in the wind. You'll also discover the "Displace" filter. This filter is not mentioned by very many other online tutorials that I've come across. I suppose that this is because most people don't really understand how the displace filter works. The results can seem a little weird. However, there is no other easy way to achieve consistent results for the type of effect I'm about to demonstrate. The only other way to create an image of this type is to draw it by hand.
