so, since Elements do not have  Pen tool, I need to get Photoshop itself, right ?

Photoshop Discussion / Re: problem with isolating objects
« on: November 19, 2007, 10:32 »
here is how i do:

I go into Full Edit, select Magic Selection Brush Tool F, select the object, do Inverse Selection,
do go to Edit Fill Selection and Fill it with white. Last step Deselect. Then I zoom in the image and see that the time has been wasted, since the brim of the image is punctuated with lots of white wholes. Very frustrating.

Photoshop Discussion / problem with isolating objects
« on: November 18, 2007, 22:37 »
I have a constant problem when isolating objects with Photoshop Elements 5. Every isolated
object has lot of tiny white holes on the rim of the object after i separate it from background.
 I am inclined to buy CS2 just for isolating objects properly. What do you think?

thank you, Kngkyle.  I have now a very modest version of what you have done. It is good to have links to lightboxes. I feel they will do good.

That's really cool! I have no idea how one can edit his/her own IS page to include multiple links?
How it is done, can you point to some links ?

Submitting to just one site instead of 10 leaves more time for other things in life.

I have applied to SS twice and both failed. 10 out of 10  first time, 4 out of 10 rejects
second time. I got to IS on the first try.

iStockPhoto.com / Re: IS managed lightboxes
« on: November 09, 2007, 21:25 »
how one converts a private lightbox into a public one ? Btw, they do not say that a lightbox to be public should have 2 members

 "The following is a list of your managed lightboxes. Lightboxes are a collection of related images. A public lightbox should serve the community and is available in the iStockphoto lightbox search after it contains at least 20 files. A private lightbox is used for personal and project related collections, and is accessible to anyone to whom a link has been sent."

also, uploading raw is kind of selling the copyright, they can crop it, change color and voila! the new photo.

 I do not care where they are based. I would like them to implement ftp. Right now the uploading to them is a stress. No ftp, and their regular procedure is not working for me today.

That is because more  photographers are joining microstocks. They can't cope with volume.

Lighting / backgrounds and lightning

I want to emulate the photo below, but I am not sure if they used a light box and put a painted background paper on it, or just shot the painted background that had already darker rim around it. What do you think ?

Thanks, Whiz!

I have selected the object, then inversed the selection and filled the background  with pure white and that did the trick.

Photoshop Discussion / need help with isolating objects
« on: October 31, 2007, 19:51 »
I have Elements 5 and can, not always though, isolate and object.  Say, I want to isolate on white. Then I have to have a blank background to paste the isolated object to. The question really is what is the best way to produce a  perfect, neutral white blank  background? Mine tend to be overly bright, or gray ...
