I use the Brush Tool on a regular basis and have done so for the past 10 years to reconstruct any part of an image that cannot be easily repaired via the Clone/Stamp Tool or by using copy(Ctrl C), paste(Ctrl V) and Transform (Ctrl T). When so much of an image has been lost and options are thin on the ground, using the Brush Tool is still a viable alternative.
[34]-See below for Final Photoshop Output.I hope this is a good tutorial & u can use these Photoshop Techniques in your Graphics Design Project
In Elements 1, the burn tool was hidden under the dodge tool in the toolbox. To find it, click on the dodge tool icon (the one that looks like a black lollipop) and hold the mouse button down. Choose the tool you want from the pop-up menu. [The burn tool is out on its own in Elements 2.]
Tip: The Photoshop shortcut for baseline shift works in Elements. Use Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Up Arrow to shift the baseline of selected text up ten pixels. Use Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Down Arrow to shift the baseline of selected text down ten pixels
Please note that the custom shape tool, the line tool, and the shape select tool all have their own pages. The shape tools are all grouped under the rectangular shape tool icon in the tool bar. To access the others, click on the one which is showing (the last one used will be visible in the toolbar). Choose the one you want from the pop-up menu.
The intersection buttons, in the middle of the options bar determine what happens when you draw a new shape on the same layer as an existing shape. They are (as shown above) 1) New Shape (no interaction), 2) Add to Shape, 3) Subtract from Shape, 4) Intersect Shape (only overlapping areas will remain), and 5) Exclude Overlapping (overlaps will be deleted leaving the nonintersecting areas intact). Select the appropriate button before you draw a new shape. After you?ve drawn two shapes on the same layer, you can switch the intersection state by first selecting one of the shapes with the shape selection tool (the black arrow) and then clicking on any of the buttons (1-5) shown above.
To use the blur tool, select it in the toolbar, set desired values and settings in its options palette [see below], choose a brush from the pop-up palette in the options bar, and then drag in the image over the area you wish to soften. Be aware that blurring occurs even when the cursor is not moving, as long as the mouse button is held down. The speed of the effect is determined by the Strength setting in the tool?s options bar.
Note - if your Alt key does not appear to be working in Elements, you may have another program running in the background that has taken over that key. GuruNet (Atomica) and FlySwat are two such applications. Uninstall them, or reassign the hot key in those programs to regain use of the Alt key in Elements.
Please note that all descriptions, and illustrations featured refer to files which are in Photoshop?s .psd format, and which are in RGB color mode. Other file formats, and color modes may generate different options. Some Photoshop features are not available for images not in .psd format, or RGB color mode. To find what color mode your image is in, choose Image > Mode.
Note - if your Alt key does not appear to be working in Elements, you may have another program running in the background that has taken over that key. GuruNet (Atomica) and FlySwat are two such applications. Uninstall them, or reassign the hot key in those programs to regain use of the Alt key in Elements.
Please note - If you double click on the little blue band at the very top of the toolbar, it will collapse to show only that blue band and the Adobe eye icon. To reopen the toolbar, double click again on the blue band (not the Adobe icon). Some Elements users have had difficulty figuring out what happened to their toolbar.
By default, the Tool Presets palette, which includes the pop-up version, shows all the tool presets. This can make it difficult to quickly select, say, a preset Rectangular Marquee tool from the crowd. Fear not! At the bottom of the palettes is an option to show presets for only the currently selected tool (Figure 3-40). Appropriately enough, it?s called Current Tool Only. If you have an aversion to pressing buttons, you can choose Show Current Tool Presets from the palette menu.
With Photoshop 5.5, you can easily create type that goes up and down the page as well as left to right. Hold the mouse button on the 'T' type tool in the palette, and select the 'T' with the downward arrow next to it (the Vertical Type tool). Then click in your document to add some type. The Vertical Type Tool's dialog is similar to the standard Type Tool's, except the alignment buttons work top-to-bottom rather than left-to-right, and you can't underline. Also, you can rotate the letters themselves through 90 degrees by clicking the Rotate checkbox. Cool! :)
7. With your move tool selected, Click the Align Vertical Centers button on the move tool options bar. This will put that all at the same place vertically, say at 5 pixels from either edge. Since all the circles are the same size we could have chosen align Top or bottom also to get the same results.Different size circles or images would give difference results on these three options.
Using the Patch Tool, larger areas can be replaced and repaired with a good portion of an image. As with the Healing Brush, automatic sampling of the texture and lighting improves the merging.
T I P You can use the quick-key combo of Shift+G, to cycle through these two fill tools, until you get the one you want in the Toolbar. And you can do this for any of the tools in the ToolBar too; except each of the tool types has it's own letter, so you'd use that, instead of G. Remember that!
The toolbox contains selection tools, painting and editing tools, foreground- and background-color selection boxes, and viewing tools. This section introduces the toolbox and shows you how to select tools. As you work through the lessons, you'll learn more about each tool's specific function.
Lets start off with the tool palette itself. It should open automatically when Photoshop is launched. If for some reason it is not open, you can access it by going to ???Window??? in the main menu and selecting ???Tools???.
Plugins arbeiten nicht selbstst??ndig. Sie erweitern die F??higkeiten von Bildbearbeitungsprogrammen und m??ssen, um dazu in der Lage zu sein, in diese ???eingest??pselt??? werden. Es gen??gt meist, sie in den vorgeschriebenen Plugin-Ordner zu kopieren und das Programm neu zu starten. Dann erscheinen im Men?? Filter oder Effekte ein oder mehrere neue Eintr??ge. In unserem Fall hei??en die neuen Men??punkte SimpelFilter und SF Analyse.
This photoshop tutorial will show you how to use Photoshop CS2's Red Eye tool in a non-destructive way. The technique that I will explain is unique because as far as I know it hasn't been discussed in any book/magazine or on any web site.
I was determined to find an a use for the Flare Tool in Illustrator (why is it there, anyway?). Here is what I came up with.
The Drawing and Type tools are used to create vector graphics, as well as set type inside of documents. While Photoshop is not really considered a vector graphic editor, it is possible to create vector based shapes and elements that can be resized without losing quality!
@ Zapox - My intents at this point are to teach what I consider to be the most important� or essential tools. I hope to cover all of Photoshop's tools eventually, and understand that some tools may be �essential� in certain cases, but I don't think people would gain as much from this series if I spent to much time covering ALL of the details at once
The marquee tools are used to make rectangular, elliptical, horizontal and vertical line selections. To create a selection with a marquee tool, simple hold down your mouse button over the active image area, and drag out your shape.
When you "define brush" what you just did was create a new brush that can be used and selected from your brush box.
1. Open a new image, press Ctrl + J 2 times to "trilicate" this layer. Here we use a texture to make a complicated background
When creating an XHTML document, one of the most important things to do first, is specify a Doctype. There are alot of (X)HTML Doctypes (22 to be exact) but the most common are HTML 4.01 Strict, HTML 4.01 Transitional, and XHTML 1.0 Strict. Each Doctype has their respective W3C specifications, but they are also defined in a machine-readable language specifying the legal structure, elements and attributes of a type of HTML.

Basic Vexel Image - PSDTuts A basic way to create a vexel image using Photoshop's vector based tools and pattern effects to give the image some interesting texture.
Thanks for the video i enjoyed it, even thou there pretty simple and i wouldn't say there Photoshop Secrets cause there's way more harder stuff to learn. Overal great Tutorial and i learned a few new shortcuts that may be helpfull.
I only used the patch tool to fix the whole thing. In an actual photograph that I would need to fix I would have used all the tools available to me including the paint brush and clone tools. Since this was a patch tool guide I only used one tool. Much better results can be attained if you use all the appropriate tools. Thats the cool thing about photoshop� you have tons of useful tools at your disposal and you must mix and match them to optimum results.

Scenario: Using Adobe Photoshop, you wish to select and copy Aunty Edith from one photograph and paste her into another. Which selection tool do you use? I have been asked this question so many times. My suggestions are usually rejected followed by 'Well, I prefer to use the Magnetic Lasso and that's that! Look, it works by pure magnetic magic!' - Mmmm. Preferences toward any given selection method may vary, but I can only draw from my own experience as an Adobe Photoshop specialist and University lecturer in its uses. If I were to sum up with one word why Adobe Photoshop is the best of the best, I'd put it all down to 'Control'. You must be in control of your selection, not your selection in control of you. Who's in control then? If your preferred selection method delivers the highest levels of control to you (the digital De Vinci), continue to use it. However, if you absolutely depend on 'one-click-wonder' solutions, you will fall short of becoming a pro. Sure, taking the odd shortcut here and there doesn't harm anyone, but having as much control over Adobe Photoshop as you can manage will pay off. The narrow path Out of all of the selection tools currently available within Adobe Photoshop, the most useful for general and precise selecting has to be the Polygonal Lasso. It will not fill an area with a selection, nor will it trace the outlines of a shape. What it will do is deliver perfect control. Cracking the whip over the Polygonal Lasso In the past, some of my students have expressed some apprehension over using this tool due to the 'sticky-dart-around-the-screen' habit it seems to display. Let me make one thing clear - there really is nothing to be afraid of with this tool. If used correctly, the Polygonal Lasso will behave itself and, in the long run, save you masses of time and yield perfect selections. Guide Points Just follow these guide points and you will be creating perfect selections in no-time. Get comfortable (by this I don't mean fluff up the cushions) - ensure that there are no palettes obscuring your image. Move them aside, minimise them or hit the Tab key (toggle) to hide them. Zoom in - I tend to go in at a factor of between 100-200%. Use CTRL+ and CTRL -. Do this before you start your selection. Take you time - Don't rush, speed will come with practice. Develop a confident rhythm of clicks first before galloping away with yourself. Don't become too click-happy - If you click too quickly (constituting a double-click), you'll will close...
You can make a custom shape-selection with one of these tools. Options: Lasso Tool Polygonal Lasso Tool Magnetic Lasso Tool

The quick selection tool can be used to quickly select a defined area of a Adobe Photoshop CS3 image based on color pixels. In this video tutorial, you will learn how to use the quick selection tool in Photoshop CS3.
Intro to the Patch Tool The patch tool operates on a premise similar to the clone tool, but with patch you can actually make a selection of an area to use as your patch, and drag it to the area to be corrected. When you make your selection you can then adjust the feather and so forth to blend the edges a bit more seamlessly, and the patch automatically adjusts the lighting/shading for the best match of the area being fixed. Ok, enough techno talk. What can this thing really do? To start, let's open a picture of many faces. Here's one of 3 ladies? let's see if we can't create triplets. Select the Patch Tool from the toolbar. In the options bar, you will see a couple of radial buttons that allow you to set the patch selection you are about to make as the source or destination. Let's set it to source for this run. Pick a face, any face. Draw your selection around the perimeter. Now go to Select>Feather, and put in a setting of 2 or so. You should now have a selection around the area you want to patch.. Now this part may seem a bit confusing? it was for this old man anyway. Though we set it to source, what actually happens is we drag the selection to another face, and the face we dragged it to is pasted into the original selection. Now when we choose ?destination' and drag the selection, the face in the selection is pasted to the new area: Looky there? Triplets!
Move Tool It is used for moving the selected area of an image or the entire area if nothing is selected. Use this tool to, well, move things. Usually you use it to move a Layer around after it has been placed. Hold the [Shift] key to limit the movements to vertical/horizontal. Shortcut key to Select the move tool from the Tool Bar by pressing "V"
To start, the best thing to do is having a good sketch on paper; the size of the drawing doesn’t have to be very big because we will delete it at the end, but also it doesn’t have to be very small. Let’s scan it at 150-300 dots per inches (dpi from now on) to make sure that when we zoom we can clearly see the lines to work properly.
Because we just changed the style/color in the previous section, go ahead and reset the style to �No Style�. The style that shows a line through it is the �No Style�. Left click on this option and then Left click off of this style box. Feel free to change your color. On this example, I have changed it to a black. Now move the �Rectangle Tool� to the canvas and hold your Left mouse button and drag the rectangle. Release the Left mouse button.
:: Marquee tool
So now on to the fundamental questions; what is the patch tool, and what can it be used for? The patch tool works similar to the clone stamp tool, where you're able to sample an area of an image and apply it on top of the area you'd like to 'correct'.
