Use Another lmage's Colors
When you have a picture taken at one time during the day and you simply want to provide it with the feel of a special period of the day or various basic coloring manner, that can be done by getting the shades from some other photograph. PSE 10 includes a variety of photos you can borrow different colors from but you can also use your own. To get started, open your image and select File - New - Photo Merge Style Match. With the Style Bin at the foot within the window you will see many pictures. Opt for the one that is nearly close in style and shades to the picture you would like to make. Alternately select the + icon and choose Add Style Images From Hard Disk and browse to pick out pictures to add to the Style Bin.
To copy the shades from the picture, select the Transfer Tones check box, then change the Clarity, Details and intensity sliders to adjust the effect. Using this method you can, as an example, snap an image which had been taken on a good daylight and present it a warm gleam of an earlier sunset by lending the colors originating from a sunset image.
Avoid Filter Bloopers
Many of Photoshop's filters specifically Distort and Sketch utilize the currently specified forefront and background colors to color the photo but not anywhere will Photoshop Elements notify you this is actually the case. Consequently, if you've got blue and red picked out as your foreground and background colors, and you utilize a filter like the Diffuse Glow filter, the image will be colored blue or red and look horrible.
Preferably instead, before using a filter, choose the desired shades, the Diffuse Glow filter works the best for black as the foreground color and white as the background color, you can fix these by hitting the shortcut key D which selects the default shades. Next choose Filter - Distort - Diffuse Glow and you'll bring a beautiful grainy glow with the picture.
Batch Resize Multiple Files
In case you have a variety of photos you wish to size down to a fixed dimension choose File - Process Multiple Files. Click the Browse tab and choose a directory of photos to resize. Pick the destination folder by pressing the second of the Browse buttons and identify a directory where the resized images will likely be saved. Hit the Resize lmages option, select Constrain Proportions so that the pictures will not be skewed out of shape after which enter either the Height or the Width for the photos to be resized to. When you're done, click on OK so the photos will be opened, resized and stored in the folder you've specified. If you want to resize landscape and portrait photos to various measurements, separate those into different folders before applying the batch resize to every folder in turn.
Cut Text from an Image File
To cut text coming from an image so you have written text that is stuffed with a photo, first of all open the picture to work with. Select the Text tool and enter some textual content onto it by using a solid font will show the photo detail a lot more evidently, the color of the text is irrelevant because it will likely not display later on. Click on the Move tool and click on the textual content to choose then resize the text to suit and move it in place on the image.
Double click the background layer and then click OK to transform it into a normal layer then drag the backdrop layer above the text layer. Now, with the image layer picked out in the Layer palette, choose Layer - Create Clipping Mask. This clips the image to the form of the text.
Now you may, if you wish, click the photo layer and move the photo in and around up until you get an interesting part of the photo right behind the text. You can include a simple or gradient-filled layer under the text layer to fill the background. It's also possible to give a layer style to the text by Choosing Effects - Layer Styles - Drop Shadows after which apply a drop shadow to the photo.
