Perspective correction III
The situation is surely familiar: you want to shoot a building or an interesting part of it, but you cannot find a position for taking a head-on photo. The result is perspective distortion. We have already discussed multiple solutions on Digiretus, but here's another one for those using Photoshop CS or a newer version.

Christmas greeting card
As the holidays draw near, wed like to contribute to the Christmas feeling in our own way this tip helps you prepare a very simple but solemn greeting card to print and send to your friends and relatives. You don't need to be very good at drawing as Photoshop contains built in templates that can be colored to conjure up a Christmas atmosphere.

Correction of white balance errors III
One of the novelties of Photoshop CS was Photo Filter, which could imitate in a single step the color temperature filters used in traditional film photography. Sometimes it happens also with digital photos that white balance is off target and the colors of the picture are shifted towards yellow or blue. Photo Filter, mentioned above, is a quick and handy solution for this problem. Of course, users of pre-CS Photoshop versions don't need to fear either as they can easily create a similar color filter on a separate layer...

Demisting
We won't do anything in this article that we haven't done in earlier tips. It will be a slight contrast increase and the restoring of shifted color levels. The article provides solid basics to understand how the simplest Photoshop menu commands can be built upon each other and how they can be used to solve a seemingly difficult task. The difficult task, in this case, is to remove the veil of fog that has settled on the town.

Quick Mask
One of the most important editing tools in Photoshop.

Content-aware scaling
This feature entered the world of photo editing algorithms a few years ago. Simply put, it enables magnifying or reducing photos without distorting any important elements (such as the main theme). Finally Adobe Photoshop CS4 also introduced such a feature last autumn. Let's see how it works out in a very obvious case.

Vignette effect II.
We have already discussed the darkening of picture edges and corners several times. We tried to eliminate this effect, and there were also times we conjured it upon a photo. Once again, we're up to the latter. By darkening the corners of the image, you can nicely emphasize the more important themes in the middle, and simply make other parts inessential at the same time, while still leaving all the picture elements visible.

Increasing dynamics II.
Darker highlights and lighter shadows using any Photoshop version.
