Photoshop Tips and Tricks

[Tuffdisc]

Can you make this one a sticky please?

first tip of this thread

Blend two or more layers together, particularly useful if you are shooting Macro

Select the layers you want to blend together and go to the Edit menu, and select Auto blend layers, select the Stacking option if you have different photos, but with different focus points. Photoshop even deals with the ghosting effects that occur due to the fact that most cases when focusing using a macro lens, that little difference in focal lengths occur

Just a suggestion if you don't mind. How about showing before and after photos so we can see the results?

Great idea for a thread btw.

Now I wonder if anyone else has any tips?

I got some great tips and tricks, will take a while to get screen shots, so bare with me getting used to CS5 still.

So I am assuming that no one here, despite there being a lot of togs on this site don't know much about Photoshop, wonder why they even got Photoshop even, lol

I use it ( them ) to make minor enhancements not manipulate the picture from it's original to something it never was. That's doesn't interest me in the least unless I'm just fucking around as I was with these shots.
