Photoshop fails – they\u2019re seemingly so common, they\u2019ve become a meme. We\u2019ve all seen those photos where some celebrity has magically lost several stone of weight and we\u2019ve thought: \u201cterrible Photoshop\u201d.<\/p>\n

Then, of course, there are the movie posters where the star\u2019s head has been clumsily grafted onto someone else\u2019s body; or there\u2019s a group-shot made up of people who were clearly not even in the same room. We\u2019ve all seen those and thought: \u201cshoddy Photoshop\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unless you\u2019re Nicholas Cage, it\u2019s best to avoid becoming a meme. So let\u2019s take a look at a few tips and tricks that can help sharpen up image manipulation.<\/p>\n

One constant bugbear for designers, is having files handed over to them by other designers and finding \u2026<\/p>\n

#1 The PSD logo<\/h2>\n

\u2026 You unzip the folder and notice that the logo file is .psd. Your heart sinks. That\u2019s just wrong. A classic schoolboy error is using Photoshop for creating artwork such as logos. Whilst it is perfectly possible to make a Photoshop object transparent – so you could potentially add your psd logo to any background – the logo would have to be made huge, if you want to go ahead and scale it up. If it was made small, it\u2019ll simply pixilate like crazy when you enlarge it.<\/p>\n

So, inevitably, you end up having to rebuild it in Illustrator.<\/p>\n

The takeaway: <\/strong>In this case, Photoshop is the wrong tool for the job.<\/p>\n

#2 The CMYK print job<\/h2>\n

Why, oh why? Whilst it\u2019s true that RGB can be a more versatile palette to work in, if you\u2019re working on a print job, you want what\u2019s on your screen to be the same as what\u2019ll be on paper. Send RGB to the printers, and you\u2019ll be surprised by what comes back.<\/p>\n

The takeaway:<\/strong> Know which medium your work is destined for before you start, it\u2019ll save a lot of surprises later.<\/p>\n

#3 Be clear on clarity<\/h2>\n

Over sharpening is an addiction. People can become intoxicated by the power of the \u2018Clarity\u2019 slider. Resist! Too much clarity can put a line around foreground objects and almost make them seem 3D. It\u2019s a striking effect, but overusing it just makes pictures look fake. And making a photo of a real thing or person look fake is the ultimate Photoshop fail.<\/p>\n

The takeaway: <\/strong>Throttle back on the Clarity, not every image needs to be sharp enough to cut you.<\/p>\n

#4 Under the spell of the magic wand<\/h2>\n

Do you wave your Magic Wand with the regularity of Harry Potter? If you do, you\u2019d be forgiven. After all, cutting out shapes with a single click is nice and easy.<\/p>\n

The Magic Wand tool is great for beginners and pros alike. Even seasoned designers rely on the Wand to meet tight deadlines. But the quick option often means you\u2019ll incur more lost time in the long run.<\/p>\n

The limitations of the tool become quickly apparent when working on any object that doesn\u2019t have clearly-defined edges. The inescapable truth is that isolating a shape from a background is something that is best done by Manual Selection.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no trick to it, just do it the long-winded way with the Polygonal Lasso Tool or the Pen Tool. You can then finesse the edges with a combination of the Feathering Tool and the Refine Edge tool to make the picture look totally natural.<\/p>\n

The takeaway: <\/strong>Whilst manually chopping out an image might initially take longer, in many cases it will save time in the long run.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

#5 Save, save, save<\/h2>\n

Hands up who\u2019s finished a highly complicated design project only for the tool to crash? Things get worse when you realise you forget to save everything. Back to the drawing board.<\/p>\n

Of course, this doesn\u2019t need to be the case. It\u2019s an easily avoided Photoshop fail. When you\u2019re in the zone, train yourself to save every 10 minutes or so.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t remember, set an alarm on your phone to remind you. It needs to become a habit. How often do you need the beachball of doom to consume a whole morning\u2019s work, for you to get the message?<\/p>\n

The takeaway:<\/strong> Seriously – save, save, save.<\/p>\n

#6 Name your layers<\/h2>\n

You can\u2019t really make too many layers when you\u2019re working. Each layer makes it easier to control your image and the more complex it gets, the more alterations you\u2019ve made, the more important it becomes to separate those elements.<\/p>\n

That said, it\u2019s really easy to lose control of those layers. So, make sure you name your layers and, when their numbers start to really stack up, group them into folders. Let\u2019s face it, you\u2019d appreciate it if someone handed you a file with grouped and organised layers.<\/p>\n

The takeaway: <\/strong>The person you\u2019re being kind to might be yourself – if you have to come back to a piece of work in a couple of months\u2019 time.<\/p>\n

#7 Destructive editing<\/h2>\n

Try masking rather than erasing. Using tools like the Clone Stamp, Patch Tool or the Spot-Healing Brush can make a profound difference to your image. Save that change and you have effectively destroyed your original image. Doing all that damage on a new layer – or range of layers – allows you to alter the opacity of your alteration, or remove it entirely. For the same reason, adjustments to the image contrast, saturation etc, are all best applied on Adjustment Layers. There\u2019s nothing more destructive than a mistake you can\u2019t learn from and undo.<\/p>\n

The takeaway: <\/strong>You have a limited number of undoes. Act accordingly.<\/p>\n

And finally, just a general comment about the ergonomics of having so many operations – it leads to a huge number of hotkey shortcuts. Some of which are not as short as we\u2019d like…<\/p>\n

#8 How many hotkeys?<\/h2>\n

Hotkey shortcuts can be a real time-saver (and when did you ever have enough time for a job?) But some of those four-key combinations require the digital dexterity of concert pianist. Sometimes, it\u2019s just easier to use the menu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Never-the-less, the inestimable Creativebloq has put together a handy infographic<\/a> illustrating all the shortcuts you need to know.<\/p>\n

Photoshop can\u2019t do everything<\/h2>\n

The main reason that Photoshop fails is that it isn\u2019t a sonic screwdriver – it won\u2019t solve every problem at the push of a button or the wave of a hand (and definitely not of a magic wand!) It\u2019s fantastic for photos, but used indiscriminately, it can just as easily ruin them.<\/p>\n

And always be sure that Photoshop is the correct tool for the job. For logos, consider the likes of Illustrator<\/a> and, for page layout, perhaps have a look at InDesign<\/a>. Choose the correct tool for the job, then use it properly and all will be well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
