Windows 7 to be the Min. Requirement for All Future Photoshop Versions

Windows 7 to be the Min. Requirement for All Future Photoshop Versions | Photo Editing Software and Applications | Scoop.it

"This news might not be very relevant to most of you, but Adobe has announced that future versions of Photoshop will not be compatible with Windows XP. The Photoshop team would like to provide advanced notice that Photoshop CS6 (13.0) will be the last major version of Photoshop to support Windows XP. (Photoshop CS6 does not support Windows Vista.) In addition, all subsequent Photoshop feature updates specifically for Creative Cloud members will no longer support Windows XP."

Kitty Fisher's insight:

Do you have Windows XP? If you have Windows 7, you'll be safe with Photoshop but those XP users...may want to switch.

Comprehensive Guide to Color in Photoshop - Swatches | Psdtuts+

Comprehensive Guide to Color in Photoshop - Swatches | Psdtuts+ | Photo Editing Software and Applications | Scoop.it
This tutorial is the first part of a new short series called ” The Comprehensive Guide to Color in Photoshop.” In this tutorial, we will discuss how to set up your Swatches panel, how to work with the Preset Manager, how to choose and save new Swatches and how to export them from Photoshop.
Kitty Fisher's insight:

To be fair, when you're on Photoshop, the color swatches slips your mind (in the sense that you do not want to deal with them). All that takes effort, but it is better when you have a guide to lead you in down the right path.

Afterlight: Simple, Subtle Photo Editing Brilliance | iPad.AppStorm

Afterlight: Simple, Subtle Photo Editing Brilliance | iPad.AppStorm | Photo Editing Software and Applications | Scoop.it
As any photographer will know, regardless of what equipment they possess, or the quality of their technique, camera-derived art is as much based on post-capture processing, as it is on the pressing of a shutter button and all that leads up to it. The iPhone was one of the first devices truly to combine these two halves of image-making into one package, and as a result, iOS is blessed with both good variety and good quality in the image editing department.
Kitty Fisher's insight:

What use to be Afterglow has upgraded to Afterlight. Mark Myerson goes through the process of using this photoshop, editing tool for your ipad and iphone, just to bring you up to date. About whether of not, this biggest brother can hold up in the iOS family.

Martin Evening's Retoucher's Guide - High-key portrait | Amateur Photographer

Martin Evening's Retoucher's Guide - High-key portrait | Amateur Photographer | Photo Editing Software and Applications | Scoop.it

"Martin Evening on how to create a high-key portrait.


The retouching work started in Lightroom, where I chose to add a blue cast and lighten the corners. I retouched this image using the Vignetting Amount slider in the Lens Corrections panel to apply the corner lightening. However, since Lightroom 3 and Camera Raw 6 the Effects panel can be used to apply a more controlled lightening (or darkening) vignette effect. I then used Photoshop for the remaining retouching and added a shadow mask layer to produce the rippled lighting effect seen in the final version."

Kitty Fisher's insight:

If you want to be skilled in the fashion editing world, this can help you. Or if you simply want a high-keyed portrait, this will guide you.

Adobe Launches $9.99/Month Photography Program With Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5, Behance And 20GB Of Online Storage | TechCrunch | Photo Editing Software and Applications | Scoop.it

TechCrunch is a leading technology media property, dedicated to obsessively profiling startups, reviewing new Internet products, and breaking tech news.

Adobe today announced its Photography Program, which for $9.99 per month offers photographers who own a previous copy of Photoshop (starting with CS3) access to a “lite” version of Creative Cloud with Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5, as well as a Behance membership with access to Adobe ProSite and 20GB of online storage."

Kitty Fisher's insight:

Now as a limited time offer (until December 31, 2013), even after the time expires, it's users will still pay $9.99 a month. Without a compelling offer to photographers, this was Adobe's next move.

Photoshop Image Extraction with Channels - Mike Hoffman

Photoshop Image Extraction with Channels - Mike Hoffman | Photo Editing Software and Applications | Scoop.it

Mike Hoffman demonstrates how to extract images from a white background using simple channels techniques.

If you’re creating image composites, and especially if you’re working with stock images, you’ll find yourself needing to extract image elements from a white background. This can be a straightforward task with Photoshop, and often you’ll get better results with some of the old school techniques."

Kitty Fisher's insight:

That age old problem where an image has a white background, and we want to try out a different color. But if you don't quick select even the smallest amount of space, it can come out choppy and unprofessional.

TechCrunch is a leading technology media property, dedicated to obsessively profiling startups, reviewing new Internet products, and breaking tech news.

Google+ users are wondering what has happened to the service’s Photo Editor, which has been down for days. Specifically, users had previously been able to access an “Edit” button on their photos shared on Google+’s site, in order to perform editing functions like cropping, adding effects, text, or decorations to photos, and more.

This button used to appear next to the “Share” option in Google+ Photos, which remains today. Also still available are the more advanced “Auto Enhance” and “Highlight” functions under the “More” menu at the top of the photo’s page. In addition, users can rotate, zoom and delete photos via the buttons on the menu."
