Cool Tips And Tricks
Tips And Tricks For Adobe Photoshop
Sharpening JPEG images:-

blurring an image that is to be saved as a JPEG file will reduce its file size,whereas sharpening it will increase the size.to sharpen an image for the web,choose filter>sharpen>unsharp mask and use a low amount setting (some where around 20%),a high radius setting(15-20 pixels)and a low threshold setting (3-5 levels).this will keep your file size down but will still make your image appear a little sharper.


For Paint shop pro

Sharpening images:-
open the image in PSP and go to effects>enhance photo>automatic contrast enhancement.play around with the setting to get the desired effect.for greater visibility keep Bias lighter,strengh normal and appearance natural.



for more tips wait for some time.and reply about this tip.

Some More Tips On Photoshop

Defringing cutouts
the defringe command is the layer>matting option removes unwanted pixels from cutouts.for this,just type in the number of pixels u want to defringe and they will b deleted from the edges of the cutout.


Working with colour range
if u r working with images that do not have the highlights and shadows in order,u can use the colour range option to correct them.go 2 select>colour range,choose highlights or shadows from the drop down menu to apply in the troubled areas and click ok.then feather ur selection and use the levels dialog box to gey those shadows or highlights under control.the colour range option is quite useful as u get better selections than with the magic wand tool.u will notice that u get selecteds that also contain partially selected pixels(shown as grey),which the magic wand cannot do.
