  4. Episode 4: Photoshopping iPhone Icons

    January 1st, 2011 at 9:06 pm

    Hi Seng,

    To save it into an ipod touch or iphone you’ll have to sync it as a photo with itunes, or alternatively email yourself the image and download it on your iphone.
    Just to clarify, the tutorial is for creating an image, and not an actual icon to be used on the iPhone.

    Hopefully that helps, and happy new year!

    Hi Craig,
    You can take these photos in either Raw or Jpeg. From my experiences, processing time for longer exposed photos is roughly the same as the exposure time. In other words, a 15 second exposure will take around 15 seconds to process. This could differ depending on the camera though.
    I hope this helps :)

  9. 20 Astounding Photos of the Human Eye

    June 9th, 2010 at 7:25 pm

    Thanks for the tips David :)
    Fiona, if you have a polarised filter then I suggest trying that as well. I’m not sure how polarisation works on an eye, but it’s worth giving a go

  10. 20 Astounding Photos of the Human Eye

    June 8th, 2010 at 8:56 pm

    I’ll certainly have a look at the technique and if I can find a way to do it well then I’ll put a guide together :)

  11. Episode 4: Photoshopping iPhone Icons

    June 4th, 2010 at 6:11 pm

    When you’re using the rounded rectangle tool, on the top left of photoshop there should be three options for the type of selection you’re making. My guess is that you have ‘paths’ selected. Try setting it to ‘Shape Layers’ or just fiddling with those selection options (there should be three), and see if that works.
    Hopefully that’s on the right track. I’m not sure of CS5′s interface because I’m still on CS3.
    Let me know how it goes

    It’s working for me. Have you right clicked it? If it still doesn’t work maybe try a different browser.

  16. Megapixels

    April 7th, 2010 at 1:44 pm

    It really depends on the price or type of camera. If you have an SLR then no it shouldn’t be sacrificing quality. If you have a quality point and shoot camera then it should be fine also.
    The only time that the higher megapixels really suggest degraded quality is with the cheaper cameras, usually around the $100 mark.

    Just head over to http://www.gravatar.com and upload a profile pic, and then it’ll automatically appear on pretty much every blog you comment on (it recognises your email address)

    Try pressing control or command+semicolon. That should remove it.
    Let me know if that works

  20. 17 Stunning Smoke Photographs

    February 21st, 2010 at 6:38 pm

    There are tutorials on the web for creating smoke in photoshop (see http://abduzeedo.com/creating-smoke), but it’s almost impossible to replicate a real image like these ones.

  21. Photoshop Quick Tip #1: Reflections

    February 16th, 2010 at 11:32 pm

    You certainly could create a sunset with this method. It could be difficult if you’re using a photograph, but the general method of using a low opacity and a layer mask should work.
    Hope that helps.

  23. Episode 5: Photoshopping Apple's Aqua Wallpaper

    January 17th, 2010 at 4:00 pm

    Sorry the link does appear to be broken.
    Unfortunately though I’m away at the moment with just an iPod touch and McDonalds Free Wifi so I’m unable to fix the link yet.
    For now though you could try going to the Vimeo page and downloading it from the bottom right.
    Sorry for the inconvenience

  24. Episode 9: Photoshopping a Heroes Style Eclipse

    January 7th, 2010 at 8:58 pm

    Thanks. Glad you like it.
    I’m not sure if there’s a command for it, but there is a trick I usually use. Press control or command R to bring the rulers onto the canvas, then drag some new guidelines horizontally and vertically to the centre (sometimes they snap in place, other times I just use the measurements). The crossover will be the perfect centre. That’s how I usually guide myself.
    Hope that helps :)

  25. 10 Tips for Photographing Fireworks

    January 2nd, 2010 at 4:22 pm

    Hi again.
    From what I can tell you’re scrolling beyond 1/30 (one 30th of a second) as opposed to 30″ (30 seconds). Try scrolling in the other direction. I’m not sure if that will work, but it’s worth a try :)
