Photoshop Hand In Blogmr. Mac's Virtual Existence

Posted on  by



The box for Photoshop Elements for Mac OS has a note printed on it that says 'Works with Apple iPhoto.' This statement means that if you change the iPhoto preferences, you can open your images directly in Photoshop Elements when you double-click an image in iPhoto. You can also import an iPhoto catalog in the Elements Organizer.

Note: This statement does not mean that Adobe Technical Support provides any support for iPhoto. For support on iPhoto, contact Apple.

Use RAW format from iPhoto to an external image editor such as Photoshop Elements

Creators who are looking to update to new Mac operating system macOS 10.14 Mojave beware, for the new software is causing issues when running Photoshop - or trying to run Photoshop, that is, for older versions of the program are likely not to load when using the new OS. Fret not, though, for there is a fix available below. The GNU Image Manipulation Project is a powerful image editing tool that works on both Mac and PC, with the free open source software providing a similar feature set as Photoshop and Pixelmator. I honestly feel that Photoshop takes a lot more time to startup: I used three different versions of Photoshop and all of them loaded within 5-6 seconds. I must say that 5-6 is good amount of time given that Photoshop is quite a big software: Speed: I don’t see a big difference in speed when compared with MacBook.

Begin by representing a new file (File>New) that would have 1024×768 px and 72 dpi. Select next the Paint Bucket Tool (G) to paint the layer in black color.

Next we’ll try to picture an apple’s silhouette with the Pen Tool (P). Its contour should be of black color. Next press Alt button and select the Ellipse Tool (U) to cut out a part of the fruit, as it is demonstrated below: The shape may be corrected with the Convert Point Tool.

Try to represent above the apple’s silhouette a layer reserved for the figures, marking out the zone previously as it shown next picture.

Keep pressed Alt button and make a mouse’s click between the text’s layer and the apple’s one (on the layers’ panel). The text’s layer will be applied in the apple’s limits.

Mark out the earlier made layer, containing the apple’s silhouette and make a click on Add a Mask option on the lowest part of the layers’ panel. Select after that the Brush Tool (B) to erase the apple’s right side as it is demonstrated next picture:

Create new layer and select the Pen Tool (P) to represent a silhouette of the leaf above the apple that is of black color too. The corrections on its shape may be done with the Convert Point Tool.

Make a copy of the earlier made text’s layer and place it above the layer with the leaf (on the layers’ panel). Apply also the same operation we did earlier with the apple’s silhouette. It means we have to press once again the Alt button and make a click between the layers.

Getting better result is possible when combining all the previous layers, except black background, in a group (press Ctrl button to mark out the necessary layers and keep pressed the left mouse’s button when taking the marked layers on Create a new group option). Apply the next shown parameters for the new group: Opacity 38%

Create a new file (File>New) with 5×5 px and 72 dpi. Select now the Pencil Tool (B) to represent the pattern, colored with #C3561E

Create new layer now and continue by choosing the next option to apply the pattern: Edit>Fill

Apply for this layer the next parameters: Fill 40%

Create a new file (File>New) again with 31×31 px and 72 dpi and choose next the Pencil Tool (B) of the same size and color, used earlier to represent another pattern.

Apply the next parameters for the layer: Fill 80%

Try to make the same operation now the way we did when representing the apple’s silhouette. Apply the same instruments and the same methods.
