Anyone using Photoshop?
Comments (7)Photoshop is a high end professional software that alot of people consider too complicated. And it can be. A good resource for learning that I've found is Lynda.com - but Adobe has improved Photoshop Elements so much that it is almost as powerful and doesn't have the same learning curve that Photoshop does. Plus it's much cheaper. Your talking a max of $99 vs. $2-$300 (with student discount) for Photoshop CS5. Unless you are a high end photographer or graphic designer, Photoshop elements or some of the other similar softwares for the home user will do a great job for you. I've been learning all the Adobe softwares for the last year because I use them at work professionally. But if I were just a home user, I wouldn't even bother. Especially Photoshop. It's complicated. More for photographers, I think. But that's my personal opinion. It really depends on your desire to learn and what types of projects you want to do! Good luck....See MoreAnyone willing to photoshop some curb appeal for me?
Comments (123)MetroMom- FYI: There is a post on the remodel forum from someone who bought a home with a painted brick exterior. I remebered reading it so I searched and found it! You may want to read his post before you proceed. I know you mentioned something about a concern re: possible transfer in future. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/remodel/msg021538463187.html?9 Hope this helps!

Comments (8)I may not be tuned to the lingo here, though. We can stay online here, so anyone else can chime in with other tips or methods :) Are you saying he wants to see an image of you on a white background? So then using one of the selection tools, you could outline yourself and then hit copy/paste. Then you have an object of yourself separate from the rest of the photo (background). Select on the background area and use some of the color functions or the exposure and light functions to change it to white. You'll likely need to select the pic of yourself and use the tool for blurring edges to soften the transition between yourself and the background. Do a soft shadow on that object, too, for a little depth : ) Make any sense yet?...See MoreSquirrelheaven or anyone else could you please help w/photoshop?
Comments (28)Looking out my kitchen window is a stucco house similar to yours. If you were looking for the trim to be darker than the body then consider something opposite of what you currently have. The body of the home in the color of your trim and the trim in the body? Does that make sense? The house I am speaking of that I can see out my window has a bone color on the body and a darker tan on the trim. The trim color could be almost like Lindy's 15:43 house above,with a lighter body. ....OR I can crawl back under my rock :)...See Moredbarron
