More info needed. There’s a “blur” tool in the tool palette that can be applied locally. Also a finger icon “smudge” tool that has different threshhold settings. There is also a gradiant fill tool in the tool palette that shares the bucket tool (hold down your cursor for a couple of seconds on the bucket to make it show up). These are possible definitions of “blend” from all you have given us, that might well apply.

Question by Brooklyn: I have Photoshop CS3 and was wondering if anyone had any tips on editing photos of people?
I have been nature for a while, and decided to take photos of my two nephews and niece and would love any tips or advice anyone could give me about editing photos of people with Photoshop CS3. =) Thanks a lot in advance.

Additional info: Since i’ve started taking pictures of people, I tend to take close up pictures of the face, if that makes any difference. My camera is a Olympus Digital SLR E-420.

Thanks so much =)

I don’t quite understand what you mean by saying having to edit the people photos. If the exposure is right–there shouldn’t be much, or any, editing at all.

Question by : Any tips and tricks for scaling down images without blurring in Photoshop?
I have an image that’s about 500px wide that I’ve scaled down to about 100px wide.

A part of the image is a newspaper. After scaling it more or less looks blurred. The overall images is a fan arrangement of magazines/newspapers.

Any tips or tricks on this, mateys?

This is the nature of raster graphics (which I can safely assume you’re dealing with). The more you reduce an image’s dimensions by scaling the image, the fewer pixels there are available to render the details of the image. The best you can do in this case without getting too deep is to apply a Sharpen filter. I prefer using Unsharp Mask because it gives greater control over the results.
