4 Cutout Image Methods in Photoshop CS5

“There is one tool in the Adobe world called the ‘Pen Tool.’ If you can learn the Pen Tool first you can master almost all Adobe products.” – Berto Herrerra

A brief look at the ways to cut out an image.

Look below for full transcript of notes in the video.

Methods used:
1) Quick Selection Tool (for all that damn hair)
2) Magic Wand Tool (luck you)
3) Polygonal Lasso Tool (Lazy man’s pen tool)
4) Pen Tool (the Gyarados of the stack)

Washed Effect, a filter tutorial

Level: Beginner’s
Program: Photoshop CS5
Patience: You need it! (You have to build an eye for the subtle changes in filters.)

Do you notice how the picture on the right seems to have a white-ish sort of filter?

I’m not a photographer but I do believe that it’s an effect that you can create with your camera. Now, it’s all nice and dandy when you’re an awesome photographer, but what about regular people like us? (I’m assuming that if you already skimmed past the picture you can’t already do this with your camera.) Well, I have a solution for you guys!
