I have CS4, and I can't change the color of my brush. I have both the foreground color and the background color set to blue. When I got to use any brush, It's red. I'm not in quick mas mode either. I can't even click on some of the options like Scattering, or Duel brush. In Color Dynamic, I cant do anything with the foreground/background jitter. I am in RGB Color, and the mode is set to Normal.How do you change the color of a brush in photoshop?
The only thing I know that will disable Scattering and Dual brush is if you have the ';Art History Brush Tool'; selected instead of the normal Brush. The icons look very similar in the toolbar.
Press the letter ';B'; for the Brush and see if that fixes it.

How can I blur a bit of a photo in photoshop?
I have a photo and I would like to blur out the background, how can I do this?How can I blur a bit of a photo in photoshop?
Use the magic wand to select the section, right click to add or subtract seletions... then once all is in the zone use the blur tool listed under the left hand side under one of the options. Hope this helps!How can I blur a bit of a photo in photoshop?
First, always . cntrl +J, or apple +J to duplicate original layer, then apply a gaussen blur to top layer, then go to top of the drop down menus, select filter, go down to blur, then select gauusen blur (my fave, but experiment with others)
apply the blur, it will blur entire image, NEXT get the eraser, and reduce opacity of eraser to like 15%, and reduce the hardness to like 10% . now go and erase the areas of the picture that you want to remain in focus, by having the eraser at 15% opacity you can have greater control in erasing, this will tend to give more accurate results than the magic wand. good luck, you can send an email to me with more questions, zorro1701@excite.com
I'm sure that in the list of tools on the left there is a blur or smudge tool. Make the brush size really big but quite weak then use it on the background.
if you crop the area you dont want to be blurred. Then choose inverse selection and go over the rest with the blur tool. Hope that helps =)
Using ';Motion Blur'; filter or ';Gaussian Blur';filter in Photoshop,so that you could control a bit of blur to your photo
Click in Filter/ blur / blur.
That's all!!!!
It is far easier to isolate the background when shooting the original than to make adjustments later.
My Photoshop guru gets $150 per hour to make changes on perfectly good photos that a agency rep later decides wants to ';look'; different.
crop the area you dont want blurred and choose inverse selection. then go over the rest with the blur tool.

Why does my text now appear pixelly and jagged in Photoshop?
Whenever i insert text into photoshop, it comes out looking pixelly and jagged, as if it was it pencil mode, but i have pencil mode off so i don't know what's causing this! Can someone help?Why does my text now appear pixelly and jagged in Photoshop?
It sounds like you have the anti-aliasing set to none. Try sharp, crisp, strong, or smooth.Why does my text now appear pixelly and jagged in Photoshop?
Hi,
1)You must increase the size of the resolution to 150 or to 300 pixel/inches (of your document (photo, poster, comic page鈥?)
That will fix your problem
2)
BUT if you zoom enough (600%) the text will look jagged no matter how large the type point size or anti-aliasing applied. But this does not affect your work!!
1. Select and highlight your text.
2. From the menu, goto Layer %26gt; Type %26gt; Anti-alias Smooth.

How do i convert a picture to greyscale in adobe photoshop CS3?
I just got this program today. I'm trying to get my photo all black and white except for roses. ThanksHow do i convert a picture to greyscale in adobe photoshop CS3?
Ah! So you want the answer to one of the most frequently asked Photoshop questions, how to make the image black and white (or rather grayscale) with just one part color. Here is my tutorial (I've answered this so many times, I've kept a text file just for this purpose.) There are other methods (Photoshop almost always has more than one way to do something), but this is a ';non-destructive'; method.
How to make image black and white with just one part color:
First, with your file open, go to File%26gt; Save As, rename the file, select Photoshop for the file type, and select where you want to save it to. Then hit Save. You always want to work on a copy of your image, leaving the original image alone.
With your Layers palette open (always keep that open, it's just too useful!) grab the layer and drag it to the bottom of the palette onto the icon that looks like a square page with a corner turned. This is the New layer button, what you are doing is creating a new layer from your original layer. (note, if your original layer has a little lock icon by it and its name is Background, double click on it and it will give you a little dialog box that will have a new name of Layer 0. You can rename it or accept that name, just click ok. Now you can edit that layer if you need to.)
Click on the top layer (the new one you created) to make sure it is selected. Go to Image%26gt;Adjustments%26gt;Desaturate (this is one way to make something that was color into black and white, actually shades of gray. In Photoshop there are many ways to do something, so experiment!). This layer should now be black and white. To see that the bottom layer is still color, click the little eye icon next to the layer thumbnail in the Layers Palette for the top layer. This hides the layer and will show the layer underneath. Now click the square with the eye icon to turn it back on.
With the top layer (the black and white one) highlighted (selected), click on the icon on the bottom of the Layers Palette that looks like a circle in a square. That's the Layer Mask icon. You have just applied a Layer Mask to the top layer. You will see a little box with an outline around it appear to the right of the Layer thumbnail. It should be white, but if it's black, that's okay, you'll just do the opposite of what I am about to tell you.
Okay, make sure that little box is selected (click on it.) It's important that the Layer mask is selected because you are going to paint on the mask. Click on the brush tool. Down at the bottom of the Tools palette, make sure the two squares show black on top and white for the square in back. If not, there's tiny squares underneath, click on those to reset the foreground and background colors to black and white. If you have white on top, click on the curved arrow above the squares or hit X on your keyboard to switch them.
With black selected for your brush color, and making sure the Layer MASK thumbnail is selected, check that the opacity (it's up in the options bar at the top of your image) is set for 100%. Now start painting over the part you want in color in your picture. You will see color showing through. If you paint more than you want, hit X to switch the brush to white and paint the mask back in. Also if your brush is too big you can make it smaller hitting the open bracket key: [. If you want to make the brush bigger, hit the close bracket: ].
When you are happy with the results, go to File%26gt;Save As and rename. (Or just Save.) If you want to be able to upload this image, you need to go to Layer%26gt;Flatten and then save as a .jpg.
Have fun. Experiment. Read some how-to books and you will get more ideas.
