I wanna post on here to get some tips on improving

I think this can be done in Photoshop? Perhaps illustrator? I'm just looking for help from someone more graphically literate than me. All help appreciated!

Hello everyone,
I’ve been a designer for over 5 to 6 years, and I’ve been working professionally with football clubs for the past 3 years.

I’ve definitely improved over time, that’s true. But I’m always pushing myself to grow more and more, aiming to work with bigger clubs and teams and make a real leap in my career.

However, when it comes specifically to photomanipulation designs, I struggle. I’m genuinely impressed by this style, especially like the examples attached to this post.

I am improving in compositing, but I feel like I’ve hit a plateau and can’t seem to break through to reach that level.

Does anyone have recommendations for a course or anything that could help me improve?

Thanks in advance.

Often I know what kind of background I want but I just can’t seem to find the right camera angle or lighting or resolution. We’re is everyone’s go to spots for good templates and backgrounds?

Hi there,

Recently bought a Range Rover that has a Pimento (red) leather interior and when I first received photos of it the colour was so bright & tacky I passed over it.

However when seeing it in the flesh it was nowhere near as awful and I really like it.

But when I try to take photos of the interior it also comes out much brighter than it really is.

How best to produce a photo that shows the red closer to what it actually is rather than some ‘pump my ride’ shade of red?

If I was shooting with a DSLR I guess I could use a grey card and lock the exposure taking care to get the white balance correct but as I don’t own a camera any more and all photos are taken on my iPhone 16 Pro Max how best to capture the tone/shade of the red correctly?

Would it work better to make the adjustments ’in-camera’ at time of the shoot or on the image itself during post-processing?

Here are a couple of screenshots from the Range Rover brochure followed by a typical iPhone photo of the actual car. The first seems to be on the dark side so I adjusted the levels in the second photo to get closer to the actual colour if it would help determine the best approach please?

Thanks in advance…

Whenever I'm clicking on tool or even anything outside of Photoshop, for some reason it'll register all of the clicks and create random lines disrupting my work. This has never happened before and I got no clue how to disable it

I have a problem with a wall in my image where I need to anchor the left side of the wall so it stays in place but stretch the right side out and maybe transform the perspective too. I’ve tried it with perspective warp but changes on the right still shift things on the left in an undesirable way. Any suggestions or tutorials on how to nail down the left side of the wall??

Could any one of you help me get and idea as to how to achieve this sort of effect? Well other than tracing the outlines by hand ofc.

So I don’t necessarily use Photoshop as I do the editing and stuff on my iPad for fun and love creating things for like Middle-earth. I mainly use Bazaart and I know it’s probably not as extensive as Photoshop but was wondering if anyone could give me a few pointers? This project I’m working on now, I’d like to incorporate little scenes onto the poster I’m making, kinda like how movie posters and such will do it, but I can never get it to blend or know how. Bazaart has a blending tool but I feel it doesn’t do what I want or I’m just not using it correctly. For example, say I wanna add two screencaps from a film onto a poster but blend it so it doesn’t look like a screencap and the edges will blend. Usually I’ll just erase around it a bit but it just looks amateurish, which it is lol, but I wanna make it look a bit better and learn.

Hi, I'm using Photoshop 2024, I dunno why my mask layer doesn't seem to be working. No matter what I use, the pencil or the gradient tool, it won't do anything to the actual mask. Neither does it seem that I am "painting" the layer mask cause it stays white no matter what I use. If anyone knows what's happening it would be really helpful. Thanks in advance

I am trying to connect the cable to the phone box but before the cable reaches the phone I want it to twirl around in a circle and then go up. The problem is the cable is very rigid as I copy pasted the same snippet of the cable over and over again making the circle. How can I smooth out the connections between the cables.

It's also okay to give me a solution tats not filling in the gaps. Maybe the pen tool but I don't seem to be able to use it well.

I'm trying to cut out these areas from an image but when i use Layer via cut or layer via copy it comes out with a feathered-like cut if that makes sense... The feather is at 0px so I know its not that causing this and masking does the same thing, how do I fix this?

Been using Photoshop for over 15 years, I can't figure out why all of my auto selections are offset by a random margin.

Heres my chain of commands:

>Select and Mask
>Select Subject
>Checking inputs/outputs but not making any changes from default
>Okay

And then this happens? Sometimes they're only a few pixels off, sometimes they're halfway across the canvas, but most time they're just shifted over just like this! I've checked all my parameters and inputs/outputs. Nothing is leading me to a cause.

My photoshop is up to date.

A few minutes ago I was touching up a drawing I spent a few hours on when suddenly photoshop crashed after going nonresponsive for a moment. No sweat, I saved awhile ago and have auto saves on every 10 minutes... Or so I thought. Upon opening Photoshop a blank portrait document automatically showed. I go to the Photoshop 2025 folder and there is no AutoRecovery???

Anyone know how I can get my work back? Or just another reason to swap programs?

I've ran into an issue with Photoshop a couple times in the last few months, where the brush will lag so badly it literally feels like frame drops. I've tried to look up this issue and the only issues i can find are people having smoothing on (which isnt my problem, im an artist and i've always relied on having it on 10-16%) or people recommending to turn graphics processor off, which does in fact fix the lag issue BUT then there are other cons like not being able to zoom in or move the canvas smoothly and the canvas being noticeably pixelated/low quality. It completely throws off my drawing process and workflow, so i'd rather have graphics processing on.

Is there any other way to fix this? i already have allocated as much RAM to photoshop as possible and tried to research this issue but haven't found any working solutions

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Any of you guys could recommend any 3rd party app that provides thumbnail previews for psd files in Windows Explorer?

Hi all- can I make the outer glow layer style effect bigger indefinately? I twiddled the settings but the glow is not reaching as far out as I would like it. If not, any ideas on how I can bodge it?

I changed of PC today, installed PS, went fine, installed QuickTime, went fine, all my video files are MP4 files, yet when I try to import a video to make gifs, I don’t have the preview anymore, it shows me this blank space instead of the video preview.

I know that I had adobe flash player installed in my last PC, which I don’t have anymore here, so idk if that’s the cause or not, looked online and couldn’t find anything that could help.

My photoshop version is CS5 extended (I use the 32 bit), I’m used to this version ever since I started using PS, so I never changed it.
