Due to the way that the healing tools work - healing must be done to destination pixels and not transparency.

You can either choose to heal to larger areas which have been isolated on a new layer, or simply heal on a dupe of the entire image layer.

After healing, run this Photoshop v7 action to isolate the healing and clone stamp edits, in effect this will mimic the popular clone stamp technique used on a transparent layer.

Don,

Here's a screenshot attached. When you post a message, you will see the screen in the screenshot. When you want to post a link, go to the web page you want to link to. Highlight the URL in the address bar, then hit "Ctrl" and "C" on the keyboard. This will copy the URL. Now type your message just as you did your last one (but with different text). When you want to post the link, click on http (highlighted on screenshot). The first box that appears is for your text, which in this case would be edgarian blur. Hit OK. The next box is for the URL. Just hit "CTRL" and "V" on the keyboard. This will paste the URL in the box. Click OK, and your done. If your not confident, try it out in the "Testing 1-2-3" forum. And thanks for the link.

Ed

"Who was that man behind the curtain," Dorothy wondered, as the powerful OZ continued his thundering speeches. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain," said the man as he tried to continue speaking. "Why, it's just Ed!" Dorothy exclaimed.

A polarizing filter for Photoshop 6 and above, originally posted by Jeanie. I hate trying to find these things later...good idea to make a thread for them!

This action was developed for the purpose of creating "Photo Art" in conjunction with this thread in the Photo-based Art forum.

Using the Trace Contour filter on a copy of the original image it creates nine separate layers based on brightness levels incremented by 25, and places them against a white background.

The multiple layers give the user flexibility in deciding things like which layers to show or hide, line thickness and colorization. For more information, see the thread noted above.

Unblur action for v5.x or higher ZIP compressed.

Apologies if this has already been submitted but photoshop users may prefer to have Bruce Beard's skin and hair colours as swatches. (hope it's not too much of a liberty to have converted them)

Unzip the swatches.zip file and place the .aco files in your swatch directory. They can then be appended to your normal swatch or loaded in on their own.

On the not unlikely chance that I fail to upload the file properly, you can download it from the following URL

Cheers for now,

Photoshop 6 or hither action, zip compressed.

Run this action on a RGB file that does not have a tagged ICC profile describing the colour intention of the files numbers.

This action will assign the four standard RGB work space profiles and create a named history snapshot of that profile. When you are happy of the visual appearance and or CMYK/LAB number readouts for known/presumed colours - simply save/close the file to include the tag which you prefer. The next time the file is opened the correct tag will be in place and the history states will be cleared.

The script is easily modified if you wish to add other RGB profiles to the action, such as ProPhoto RGB or other wide gamut spaces.

Regards,

Stephen Marsh.

This action was used to create the image posted in this thread.

It's purpose is to provide an easy way to make one (or more) selections within a color image and change those selections to grayscale.

It was developed and tested using Photoshop 5.5 under Windows 2000.

This action was used to form the base image for my entry in the Photo-Art Challenge #7.

It utilizes the Difference blend mode + the Ocean Ripple filter to achieve an unusual photo-art effect.

Note: The attachment is a replacement. The original had a bug when executed under PS7.
