[leedsforever]

Thought I would start a new thread to discuss all things photoshop, was posting bits in the photography thread but due to only half us using the programme I struggle to get my questions answered...

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.

[Pyrrhic]

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:

wow girls your super talented...

ok simple thing... borders?? how do I add them?

 

[Pyrrhic]

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

 

[Neecee]

wow girls your super talented...

ok simple thing... borders?? how do I add them?

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.
