fantoms photoshop tutorial thread
like the title says, this shall henceforth be fantomfrekes tutorial thread. i figured with the newfound interest in all things photoshop, i would start a thread dedicated to it. if you would like to know how to do something specific, or just general pshop questions post em here. i'll answer (or im sure someone else will be happy to put in) and when i can, make a tutorial with pics for some of the questions.
so... who's first??

Great idea...I have been messing with the program and cant seem to get the colors right. Say when I pick a maroon type color it seems to show up hot pink or orange. How exactly do you work the colors to get the one that you want.

sometimes the color difference is in your monitor. usually the color difference happens when you select a color from from the foreground/background color selector on the bottom of the tools pallette
under the windows tab at the top open the color pallette. after you select the color that resembles what you want, you can fine tune it here
now this example is only good if you are trying to create the color for your paintbrush or fill bucket. if you are trying to modify an existing color (like when i changed ivtechs hhr to red, then to a blue convertible) you would do this under image/adjustments/color balance. because you are actually changing the colors of the image itself, not just a line.
lemme know if this helps, im not that good at explaining and i sometimes leave stuff out.

i'm not the best teacher in the world but i figure i can at least help point people in the right direction. and if i cant then im sure someone else on here could. i sorta do this for a living (broadcast news) so im pretty decent at it, but i dont know it all. there's 50 ways to do the same thing no matter what it is your tryin to do.
