    custom canvas size

    Depends on how you are going to use it. If you wanted to add the picture to another image in photoshop, you can select the white space around the image with the wand tool and delete the white. When you copy that layer over another layer, the background will show throught. When the white has...

    custom canvas size

    Hopefully they will post again and decribe their situation a little bit more, I'm thinking they are wanting to know about preserving the transparant area around an image (maybe for web?)

    Saving high resolution tiff file

    It is a good question, not sure i know the answer, looking at the save options in CS i can save the image pyramid, transparency as well as decide on the layer compression (RLE, ZIP and flatten layers). Each of these decisions would impact the file size, expecially the Image Pyramid and...

    Saving high resolution tiff file

    You mean you want the image to be twice as large as it currently is? TIFF file format encodes quite a bit of information that may not be usefull to you if you are editing a personal family photo, chances are Photoshop is stripping alot of this extra information out when it resaves the file...

    custom canvas size

    Duncan, the original poster mentioned that he wanted his canvas to be the exact size of his image and that his image was not square or rectangular, so well i may be wrong here, but I've never seen a canvas in PS that wasn't square or rectangular.

    custom canvas size

    as far as I know your canvas pretty much has to be rectangular or square, no elliptical or polygonal canvasses for you!

    HOWTO : Batch Watermarks

    the issue is when something is pasted from the clipboard, photoshop automaticlly centers it on a new layer, one way around this would be to have a couple of solid pixels (you should be able to even have these barely opaque) in the opposite corner from the watermark, that way when centered the...

    Editing Shapes

    Make sure that you have the custom shape tool set to "paths" or "shape layers" and you will be able to delete anchor points using the "direct selection tool" (press "A" , then press "Shift + A" once or twice untill you get the white pointer), click on the interior star, hold down the shift...

    Photoshop CS 2: Partially-locked layer - how 2 unlock??

    When I opened it I got an error "Unknown data has been encountered reading "Layer-8" and will be discarded. Continue?" (I think this may the "smartobject" i only say that cause i don;t know what that is ;p) I clicked ok and got a file with 3 layers Layer-9 (the grey ball), layer-8 (the swish...

    Photoshop CS 2: Partially-locked layer - how 2 unlock??

    Another thing occured to me, when I open a picture from my camera (jpg) the backgroud layer is locked, pretty much just as you describe it. To get around this I'll just copy the layer and hide the original back ground. The copy is editable. This probably is a good practice, as you will always...

    Editing Shapes

    There are 3 tools you can use for manipulating paths, 1. the black pointer will grab the entire path so you can move, resize or transform the entire path. 2. The white pointer grabs only the selected anchor points so you can manipulate the handles, distort the path, etc. 3. You can use the...

    HOWTO : Batch Watermarks

    Well, here's a way you can try. 1. Make yourself a watermark image, I created one on one layer that was semi transparent. 2. Copy the image so it is in your clip board (Ctrl - C). 3. Open up the actions pallette (alt-F9 in Windows). 4. Click new action (looks like the new layer button)...
