Help...A brand new student

[Deborah]

my problem is that I cant get the red-eye out of a finished photo. :(
What's strange is that there wasnt red-eye before in the orginial photo
:?
This was my first attempt in creating in photoshop elements.

How do I up load a photo to show my results :?:

Thank you Wendy & Mike
I hope this works, I've never have up loaded an image before
I love all the step by step instructions Thanks again

Hi Deborah,

Welcome to the forums :)

There are various ways of removing red-eye (or any colour for that matter) from a photo. But if the red eye wasn't there before it may be best to show us the photo.

To display a photo, go to www.pixentral.com, upload your image, copy the url from the address bar and then post the url here.

Hi Deborah ..

... and welcome :)

You may need to resize your image so that you can upload it to Pixentral. Here are some instructions in case you don''t know how to do that ...

You can resize your image using "save for web"
Set the longest side to 750 pixels
then adjust the quality slider until the image is around 150K.
and then just save it with a new name.

Thank you
:wink:

Deborah,

When you upload to Pixentral ... the URL you need to copy is the one that appears just above your image. Highlight it using the mouse then copy it and paste it into your message ...

Not quite sure what happen with yours ... but just try again :)

my question now is why does it say copy shortcut???

grrrrrrrrrrrrrr I'm getting frustrated...!!!! :cry:

This is the photo another photo that i'm working on. I'll try again getting the first one smaller.
many thanks for all the help... :D

[kerriann85]

Somehow something still isn't right. Here's a link i just did.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?pic=16m83MhxJaCVSKQSDAfyxNQHKIbXCJ1

you don't have to add any html to your link. Just highlight the address in the box at pixentral, and choose "copy" (or control C ) then come to your message and paste.
:)

[kerriann85]

ah ha

Take if from the box above the picture, above where it says file size, resolution, view count.

[Deborah]

:lol:

I may have FINALLLLLLY figured this out..keeping fingers crossed lets hope.

This is the photo that I'm having problems with. Cant get the red eye removed........
:cry:

[Punkinsmom]

What red eye? Did I miss something?
Cute little girl.

[MikeH]

There is red eye present but it's not obvious. The image posted is low res and difficult to work with... the red eye tool doesn't do a bad job, but I'd use the Hue / Sat adjustment layer method to give more control.

Deborah - if you send me the original I will show you what can be achieved...

Mike

[GaryK]

Deb

Great job on both pics..really fantastic.

Gary.

[MikeH]

Deborah,

Here is the picture with the red eye removed using a Hue / Saturation adjustment layer - I've emailed you the instructions.

Let me know if you want any help...

My newest creation...hehehe....Elements have created a photo monster in me.....

[Pauline]

Deborah, I LOVE it!!! The twirling pictures replicate the toy twirling in the toilet!! :lol: I can see some plumber bills coming in. What a great idea.

I have not been creative all weekend. My husband really needs to get back to work. :lol:

[Deborah]

Thanks Pauline,
Still taking small baby steps here, so much I wish I had time to explore.
The grand kids are getting tired of me taking so many photos of them, just wish I took photography course
thanks for viewing them
Deborah

[Mary]

Your grandchildren are GREAT subjects - sneak up on them if necessary but keep taking those pictures!

I have 2 of ours arriving today for a 4 day visit and I intend to take LOTS of pictures. :)

[Deborah]

Thanks Mary
at times I do sneak up.....My next question is how do I get my galery?
I've noticed may have them, not that my work is that great, maybe some day....
thanks
Deborah

[Mary]

Hi Deborah
If you are a paid subscriber you can go to the Gallery link at the top of this window and it will walk you through setting up your gallery.

Are you a subscriber? The magazine, tutorials, videos and gallery in the subscriber area make this a great investment I think! :)

[Deborah]

Thank you Mary
I was a little :oops: to send my photos at first.
I guess you have to start some where first. I just signed up a few weeks ago......This is a priceless investment to say the least.
I'm learning vast amounts. Painless too This site is so user friendly
The subscribers here are the kindest people. So quick to help
THANK YOU EVERYONE for all the help and kind words, making me feel like my work is important.

Deborah

[Wendy]

Hi Deborah ...

As Mary said any help you need just let us know :)


Wendy

[Deborah]

Wendy..???

Can you tell me how to download the polard image that is in one of the elements video?
Or where else can I go to download images to use on PSE?

[Wendy]

hi Deborah,

I'm not sure which Video you mean and I don't think that there has been a download for a poleroid ... but, a while back, I wrote a mini tutorial for making one. Here is a link to it .. there are more instructions in the thread:

http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2163&highlight=poleroid

hope it helps :)

Wendy

[Dorrie H.]

Deborah,

Here's a link to where you can download a Polaroid Frame.

http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/freedownloads/ht/polaroidframe.htm?nl=1

I hope this helps you.

Dorrie

[Wendy]

Give it try and make your own ...

... its really easy :)


Wendy

[Dorrie H.]

Wendy,

Yes, she really should try to make her own Polaroid. I did and it wasn't very difficult. The link to making your own Polaroid was listed in the above link that I posted.

Deborah, I subscribe to the About.com newletter by Sue Chastain and have found many good tutorials for elements there. I'm quite new at this stuff too, but I keep trying. One day maybe I'll be half as good as Wendy or Jodi. :lol: :lol:

Dorrie

[Wendy]

Dorrie,

You are pretty good with Elements now ... and getting better by the day :)


Wendy

[Deborah]

I kinda cheated a bit & downloaded the freebie. so I did a quickie...
I'll take the instructions and make my own next time. Like the little train...I think I can, I think I can.....
I have a wonderful support team here. Many thanks again

[Wendy]

hi Deborah,

Just remember ... not I think I can, I think I can BUT I know I can, I know I can :) :)

Nice images, I especially like the way you have done the second one. I never thought of using an alternative colour.


Wendy

[Dorrie H.]

Deborah,

Those don't look like the polaroid download I told you about. WOW, what an improvemnt. I, like Wendy, like the color added. Good job!!

But you should still make a polaroid of your own... :lol: :lol: 'cause now I know YOU CAN!!

Dorrie

[Deborah]

Is this better Dorrie??? lol it took a few grrrrrrrrrs but I think I may have done it? Maybe not...

Deborah,

Fantastic !! You sure aren't having any problems with elements..Keep up the good work. I truly enjoy seeing your photos.

Dorrie

[Deborah]

Dorrie
That was kind of you to say that........I love the photo's that you have also......I am surprized at the results in just a month. Now my next mission is to learn the grograin ribbon effect.
I did practice on making a cube or (box)...i should say i made an attemp at it...lol All the photo's are added to the scrapbook. it truly makes a difference. Not the same old photo's.
