Photoshop Q & A

Well, there are some good ones here at DeviantART.

Personally, I'd not recommend using D&B for shading, 'cause it can create a flat-ish appearance when executed incorrectly, however, this isn't the place for my opinion. xD

Anyway, I hope that link points you in the right direction!
 
is there a smudge tool for PSE v6? cause if there is, i cant find it
 
Have you got the image in a separate Layer?
If so you click on that layer and go to: Edit >Transform > Scale.
Then you can stretch the corners and resize it. When you are done press 'Enter'.
 
I don't know if there's an actual official way to do it, or I've never tried, but I usually just select all so it comes up with the select dash border and then screen shot it.

Kai.; You can also resize images by using the transform tool. Just press ctrl + T, then hold shift down while you resize it so it'll scale it down evenly.

i think it may be legal... but the question wasn't where can i download photoshop legaly was it? and i'd much rather use an illegal version on a PC than buy an expensive mac, and an expensive peice of software.

limewire is legal because you are "sharing" software

Glad to be of help to someone. \o/
I have a question too, How do I add a dashed border?
Click to expand...

Well, there's no actualy way (as far as I know) to make a dashed border, but I came up with a slightly crude method.

_______________________________

(This method works best on rectangular shapes.)

First, make sure the object you want bordered is on it's own layer. If it's the entire image, expand the canvas size by a few pixels to make some room.

Then, make a new separate image 10x10 px, and make a 2-by-2 checkerboard pattern on it (using whichever colors you choose), and then go to Edit > Define Pattern. Now you've made a checker pattern.

Now go back to the image you want bordered, right-click on its layer, and go to Blending Options. From there, click on the word Stroke, and this will check the box next to it and bring up its control panel. Find the drag box that says Fill Type and change it to Pattern, and then change the pattern to the checker pattern you just made. Now you'll see a checkerboard pattern around your image. Now if it's a good rectangle, it'll look like a great dashed border; if not, results may vary. ^^;

EDIT - Example Result:

...and of course you can change the thickness of the border and the size of the checker pattern in the Blending Options|Stroke menu.

Hopefully this wasn't too long and hopefully it worked! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to tell me! ^_^
