Photoshop!

I've been using Photoshop more or less every day for the last 6 years. I'm still no expert, but I'm happy to help. I've used it more for artistic work and rendering, rather than the technical stuff, so I'll be looking for technical tips as well.

 

:wave:

 

I use photoshop CS3

 

I'm here too! I do some stuff, but need to learn more! I use Photoshop Elements 6, but also have CS3 that I toy with on occasion.

 

Well, what would you like to do?

 

I do artwork type stuff. This isn't a good example, but you get the idea...

This was drawn in AutoCad and rendered in Photoshop:

I used to design carpets for the Saudi Royal family and this was a section of one of the over-the-top designs I used to have to do.

This was one of the more simple rugs that was also drawn and rendered the same way:

 

What kind of borders? You mean a plain coloured border like in my picture above?

 

Do you mean for your photography? This is how I do my borders:


Image > Canvas Size

If you want an even border all the way round, tick the box next to <Relative>

Width = choose your width

Height = choose your height (i.e. 2cm width & height for an even border)

Then choose the canvas extension colour from the drop-down list.

Example:

Thin white line: Width = 1mm
Height = 1mm

Black border: Width = 2in
Height = 2in

Hope this makes sense.

 

I do the exact same thing as Neecee

 

perfect! Gorgeous picture too
