Great job, i like your choice of colours. far too often a person will try and match the "exact" colours within the photag. That always makes it dull and lifeless. You have "kicked-it-up-a-notch"!! :) retrocity

what version of PS?

here's an old-fashion way i used to do from back in the ver 5.5 days (should still work because it utilizes "channels" though looking at it now, it seems to a rather arduous method)

anyway here goes,

Step one:
Open your image and set the mode to RGB Color.

Step two:
Zoom in until you can easily select the pupil of the eyes.

Step three:
Using the ellipse selection tool, make a selection of one of the pupils (make sure all of the red eye is inside your selection).

Step four:
Hold down the shift key and select the other eye.

Step five:
Open the channels palette and select the Blue channel.

Step six:
Copy the Blue channel.

Step seven:
Select the Red channel.

Step eight:
Paste your selection into the Red channel.

Step eight:
Switch back to RGB and deselect.

The information in the blue channel has now been copied over the information in the red channel within the selection and the red-eye is eliminated!!!

i usually use what ever method works at the time :) retrocity

as kurt said "warp tool" is well worth looking into!! What's cool is you can easily wrap a photo around a bottle or can and make your own custom product placement ;) ...also like the "vanishing point" filter for cloning and transforming in perspective. Glad they implemented "smart objects", it was always a pisser when you realized you sized down your ILLUS file to far and try to scale it up gets you a pixelated potato-stamp mark instead of crisp images. the layers palette "re-do" throw a loop in the mix (didn't like the change myself...didn't feel it was needed) more later, (gotta get my daughter) :) scott

hummmmm, short of building it outright in PS i can't think of anyone...

i looked at the image in the link but it doesn't really show how the middle area should look like...

can you sketch up the shape it would be??

maybe some of us with some time on our hands and toss something together.

wow chuck! another happy customer in under eight minutes!!! awesome! :) scott

What kind of work are you doing within the template? are you only changing the graphical "look" in the template? or are you changing the "layout" too? i would save the optimized version under a different name and just add the changed code by hand... are you familar with the html tags? :) retrocity

The advantages can only "be" advantages (within any software) based on "what" you need the software for (what you need the software to be able to do)

I can list some feature sets that mean a lot to "photogs" but "designers" could care less...

so, hate to ask, but what would you be wanting PS to do??
What would kind of work would you be doing??

Way cool Hoof!

a couple of tweeks and you could go into the "minting" business!

your screencaps always make it easier to understand (even if the Dutch is a "funny" language ;))

are you looking to have the "window" masked?? cause it'd look weird if they were "free-floating" by themselves...

hummmm, i'm thinking towards a "bump map" of the greyscale face on a plan coin surface...

but i'm just thinking off the top of my head and offering a "quick" answer

might be able to embellish a little more later,

anybody else got ideas???

before i'd go through the whole process of reinstalling PS i'd delete the "prefs" file. The pref file retains stuff you do (settings and choices...) and is updated each time you quit PS. If it gets corrupted things get screwy. you can do it "on the fly" by holding down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift (MAC: Cmd+Opt+Shift) right after you launch PS. you should be prompted to "delete", let go of the keys and agree. it'll be rebuilt and the factory setting restored. If all else fails and you still want to reinstall PS, don't forget to consider any custom brushes or actions you may have added that could be lost on "install". if you have some, move them out of the PS folder before you uninstall/reinstall... :) retrocity

try launching ImageReady (see graphic) and using that to save the file. I know IR is better at saving JPG than PS.

Have you tried doing a "Save-For-Web" instead of selecting JPG as the file type in the drop-down menu??

that's great Suzanne!! remember, if you need any help, we're open 24hr!! (sometimes in a row ;)) :) retrocity
