What is the duration of the Photoshop course?

There are many different courses for Adobe Photoshop. Generally split into three levels:

Beginner (1 full day / 5 evenings)

Intermediate (1 full week / 10 evenings)

Advanced (10 full weeks / 1 year of evenings)

Obviously these times will vary from facility to facility, but I'd suggest a good place to start inquiring is your local college.

In photoshop What command do you use to create a custom (captured) brush from a photograph?

Using any selection tool, select the image area you want to use as a custom brush. The brush shape can be up to 2500 pixels by 2500 pixels in size. When painting, you can't adjust the hardness of sampled brushes. ...

Choose Edit > Define Brush Preset.

Is there a way to attach a file bigger than 10MB in an email service?

No ... you will need to break it down into smaller chunks.

Alternatively, you could post the file onto a web site or service and have the person you are trying to send it to, download it from that site. I do this alot with music files that are up to 154MB in size - I post up to a subscribed service and people can download at their liesure.

Laptop suited to web design and BASIC Photoshop rendering?

If you read that somewhere and want to know what that means: That means the default setting for photoshop before any color customization. The advanced one takes in account your destination color space (printer, separation, screens) your dislplay's color space, and several options for managing a missing or embedded profile scenario. You can't use a system set like that for pre-press. Just for RGB images to be displayed in a PC screen, and you should not trust in that RGB source for color separations. The web design rendering is based in the RGB standard for monitors and screens (home ones, not expensive or precise ones) sRGB IEC61966-2.1

How do you make gifs?

GIF

In short, GIF is basically an image format which stands for “Graphics Interchange Format”.

Usage of it gets popular in recent years, especially for animation. But it was initially introduced 32 years ago in 1987. Learn All about Turbo GIF Animator Click: tinyurl. com/3dr2xcms (remove the space)

By the time the main difference GIF brings to the industry is that it enable users to have animated images. This is not the main point behind the format during the development phase, their main purpose is to serve multiple images in a single image format by creating better compression.

After that, it turned into "GIF animation". Firstly, it allowed only 256 different colors. To compare it with the general RGB channeled images, each channel contains 256 different colors. So, this caused quality issues when the GIF animation color changes quickly. Learn All about Turbo GIF Animator Click: tinyurl. com/3dr2xcms (remove the space).

Like many image formats, it evolved through time and currently, GIF animations do support even transparency channel. But by the time it doesn’t get replaced by any other format, which is the general behavior observed throughout the industry.

Gifs are used in blog and social media posts to convey certain emotions. Its humorous nature also helps to spice up rather boring text to keep the reader glued to your contents.

Gifs can have transparency so they don’t have to look like squares all the time. They can be used to show short animations of small video clips, or a character in a bitmap formatted video game. There are many gif animations programs you can use to create them, like GIFY.

How does photo-editing affect perception?

Human vision is incredibly adaptive so you can see in bright sunlight on a ski-slope during mid-day and at night on the highway to drive home. But this adaptability being essentially automatic and subliminal can be a disadvantage because your perception of small brightness differences between screen and print is not obvious until the print becomes a physical reality that makes it apparent.

How this possibly occurs even if your display is calibrated and profiled is because although the display profile is referenced by Photoshop or other color managed applications, whatever the display values are, they are translated to the parameters defined by the workspace profile. In other words the high range of brightness values that characterizes an LCD display are interpolated into the color values dictated by the Adobe RGB (1998) workspace profile for instance, which is static, and then those values are actually displayed in that longer brightness range of the LCD display, and nothing in calibration and profiling reflects the value differential and difference in midtone value that could be passed on through to a printer driver and printer profile in the process of making a print.

So that is where the Output Transfer adjustment function to produce a perceptually brighter print comes in I have suggested, or the alternative of incorporating the correction in a custom printer profile. The fact the midtone setting is based on the longer brightness range of the LCD rather than the shorter range for accurate print output has to be has to be estimated and assumed to adjust output manually. The alternate suggested custom profile for output brightness correction of course is a relatively expensive and sophisticated solution that is an advantage because it will work for all photographers who use Elements, Lightroom. Aperture or iPhoto and do not have Adobe Photoshop CS' Output Transfer to adjust print brightness to print from.

What I have really said is that human visual perception is individually adaptive and therefore dynamic, but a color managed digital photo editing and processing system is essentially static and is not capable of accommodating the relative brightness range difference between LCD displays and print output. The result is the "ubiquitous" problem "my prints are too dark", often caused by the brightness range of LCD displays influencing misplacement of the midtone setting to affect printing. So it should be evident the solution is to make the Color Management system dynamic and capable of sensing the differential between display brightness range and print output potential so the output matches the screen's expectation of what the print should look like. Unfortunately that would demand a major overhaul of the ICC color management structure standards, and is not likely to happen anytime soon if at all.

The alternative is to get application software companies to recognize the problem and introduce an adjustment like the Output Transfer function that is more direct and as easy as an adjustment slider in the Print dialogue to facilitate making the print output lighter or darker. An adjunct to a slider solution could be a much more sophisticated and accurate print preview in the Print dialogue window. That would make the adjustment process perceptual rather than trial and error, as is the case using the Output Transfer function. Of course I will do what I can to get such a software solution made available, but the more input from reader/users there is, the more weight there is in the balance in favor of making such a change
