In this week's episode of Quicktips I answer one of the most commonly asked questions that I receive from viewersâ "How do I copy a specific color from a website?" The answer is very simple and I'll show you how to do it quickly and easily using Photoshop!

Cross Processing has been a popular photographic technique for many years and with the innovation of digital tools the look of cross processed photos has become even more popular. There are many plug-ins and tools out there that will help you achieve an effect such as this, but all of those tools require more time and money than I am willing to spend. Luckily when I was poking around in the curves dialogue box I actually found a preset that does a very nice job of "cross processing" a photograph. Add this as an adjustment layer and you've got yourself a kick-butt technique, and most importantly a non-destructive effect!

Every week I receive a ton of email asking about different Photoshop techniques. One of the most requested techniques is how to change the color of an object (usually a shirt or car, etc.) and in this episode that question is answered. We are going to use the Select Color Range command in Photoshop to achieve this color change and when we're done, you'll be amazed at just how easy it really is.

This week we'll be heading back into Photoshop CS3 in order to achieve a very cool look on our digital photos. The look we get with this technique is very unique and leaves a lot of room for customization. There are several techniques out there that are similar to this one, but I believe this to be the superior method because all of the effects we've done to this photograph are completely non-destructive and customizable!
