Resize Images without Losing Quality with Photoshop Smart Objects

Learn how to scale and resize images without losing quality in Photoshop using Smart Objects! You'll learn the difference between resizing a normal pixel image and resizing a Smart Object, and why Smart Objects always look better!


To see the advantage of resizing an image as a Smart Object, we start by setting up a side-by-side comparison between a normal, pixel-based image and a Smart Object. Then we resize both versions of the image, first by scaling them down and then scaling them back up and we compare the results. We look at why Smart Objects are able to resize images without losing quality, and we finish off by up-scaling both versions of the image back to their original size. At the end, I share an important tip for making sure you're always getting the best results.

Create A Realistic Drop Shadow in Photoshop

Many times, you will find yourself with a picture that you want to add some shading to or perhaps give it a drop shadow to create a more realistic image. So where does one begin to add this drop shadow?
The following drop shadow tutorial will give you tips on how to create a realistic drop shadow, and add it to a person or other image using the Photoshop software program.
First thing you need to do is select the photo you wish to use for this task. You find an image that you like and isolate the image you have selected, by removing the background around the image before you do the drop shadow. When you have completed this part, you are ready to move on to the next section.

Therefore, the first step you would want to do, is open a layer and then double-click in the blank space on that first layer. This will bring up a box with the different layer styles.

Then you would start by adding a normal layer drop shadow, which is found in the upper left hand corner of the layer style box.

Then you may want to move the shadow off to the right so you can see it better to work on. Opacity is not very important, but you can leave it at 50%. Then you can adjust the size to get a nice “fuzzy look,” at the edges of the shadow, then click OK.

Next you want to go back up to layer style, and select create layer, and click OK.

Basically, what that does is remove the layer style and it adds it on its own separate layer.

Then all you have to do is transform it and move it around to behind the image, where it will actually look like a drop shadow. So, you would place the shadow directly behind the image to begin with, and then go to CMD+T (Mac) or CTRL+T (PC) to begin the transform process, and drag the small visible dot all the way down to the bottom of the image.

Then you can begin moving the drop shadow around; here it would depend on your particular photo and where the light is actually coming from, and tweaks it so it works for you.

A couple little tricks you can use. Like; you can either hold down the CMD key (Mac) down or the CTRL key (PC) to get the little icon to move the corners around and slant them a little to get a more realistic shadow appearance. Then click “return.”

You can also go in a mask or remove the extra shadow bits at the front for a cleaner appearance.

Now you can go back and adjust the opacity settings to lighten the shadow’s appearance, which is why you started out with it at 50% to begin with when you created the layer style in the beginning.

So there you have it, a few quick tips on how to do basic drop shadow technique, and add a more realistic appearance to your images.

Photo enhancement in 10 seconds - photoshop

In this quick tip I will explain how to easily enhance a photo using a very neat trick.
If you’re thinking about using Sharpen, it’s not a really good option, since it can ruin some details, such as hair or more detailed textures. If you overdo it, it will look really awkward.

So here’s the proper way to do it!

STEP 1

Open the image in Photoshop. Go to Layer > Duplicate Layer.

STEP 2

Go to Filter > Other… > High Pass. Set a value between 1-4 px or until you can see a raw contour of the objects in the picture.

STEP 3

Go to Window > Layers and set Blending mode to Overlay.

 

Done!

Original image

Differences

Hair

Observe how much the hair stands out more  sand how clear it is. Check the eyelids also and notice the same change.

 

Skin

Notice the texture and the contrast between the midtones and highlights. The skin and lips are more clear now.

 

Overall effect

The picture looks more alive and provides more details. It’s as if you’d be standing in front of the real model.

 

Advantages:

• Enhances the  sharpness

• Enhances the textures

• Enhances the contrast between shadows, midtones and highlights, especially for the small details, such as fur, hair or skin pores.

• Quick and easy.

• In most of the cases you don’t need to use other adjustments.

Photoshop Gradient Map Tutorials for Beginners

One of the most useful Photoshop adjustment layer is the Gradient Map that you can use to enhance your photos. You can use a gradient map as a non invasive method in which you can change the color map of your image, adding multiple color effects. Using Photoshop gradients(GRD files) you can create virtually unlimited number of color effects.
I will start this tutorial by saying that I am not a Photoshop master so I get a little confused sometimes; for example in this tutorial I will explain for all the Photoshop beginners a quick way to enhance a photo by using a Gradient Map. As you will see if you open the fill or adjustment layer tab we have to gradient options: the Gradient (Fill) and the Gradient Map; so the question is which one to choose and use? And of course what is the difference between the two of them. For the first question I will choose the first option, the Gradient (Fill) instead of the Gradient Map. For the second question I have no answer.

Gradient Map and Gradient Fill Adjustment Layers

A Gradient Map is in fact an adjustment layer that can be applied to a layer/multiple layers and to enhance the image result. Learn more about adjustment layers from this tutorial.

So let's start with a beautiful premade background. Add a Gradient adjustment like shown in the image.

Click on the gradient to open the Gradient Editor; there you can change the existing gradient, create one yourself or you can load and use one of the many Photoshop gradients available for free on the internet.

Now set the Blend Mode of the gradient map to Overlay and the opacity 45%

You can play with different gradients and you can obtain beautiful results in just a few minutes using Photoshop gradient map adjustments. In the same way you can use the Gradient Map instead of the Gradient (Fill) and see which of the results suits you best.
