This is a thread dedicated to the talk of photoshop, whether you got a question or a suggestion, this is the place to discuss it. I recently started messing with photoshop and have learned a great deal from it. I also want to learn more which is another couple reasons I made the thread.

My question is this:

Anyone Here Good with Photoshop?

I recently "aquired" a version of photoshop and am in the process of making sprites for my game. It's a big jump from paint lol. I get confused a lot so expect some questions from me in the near future. No wait I have one right now. What's gamut? It won't let me use the color I want because of it.

Here I just got this off google for you:

Identifying out-of-gamut colors (Photoshop)

The gamut is the range of colors that a color system can display or print. A color that can be displayed in RGB or HSB models may be out-of-gamut, and therefore unprintable, for your CMYK setting. (See Color gamuts (Photoshop).)

Photoshop automatically brings all colors into gamut when you convert an image to CMYK. But you might want to identify the out-of-gamut colors in an image or correct them manually before converting to CMYK.

In RGB mode, you can identify out-of-gamut colors in the following ways:

In the Info palette, an exclamation point appears next to the CMYK values whenever you move the pointer over an out-of-gamut color.
In both the color picker and the Color palette, an alert triangle appears and the closest CMYK equivalent is displayed whenever you select an out-of-gamut color. To select the CMYK equivalent, click the triangle or the color patch.
You can also quickly identify all out-of-gamut colors in an RGB image by using the Gamut Warning command.

To turn on or off the highlighting of out-of-gamut colors:

Choose View > Proof Setup, and choose the proof profile on which you want to base the gamut warning. (See Soft-proofing colors.)
Choose View > Gamut Warning. All pixels outside the gamut of the current proof profile space are highlighted.
To change the gamut warning color:

Do one of the following:
In Windows or Mac OS 9.x, choose Edit > Preferences > Transparency & Gamut.
In Mac OS X, choose Photoshop > Preferences > Transparency & Gamut.
Under Gamut Warning, click the color box to display the color picker. Then choose a new warning color, and click OK. For best results, use a color that is not already present in the image.
Enter a value in the Opacity text box. Values can range from 0 to 100%. Use this setting to reveal more or less of the underlying image through the warning color. Then click OK.

I am great with photoshop, although I can't show you anything I've done since I recently lost my computer with all my stuff on it

Most useful tools are burn, selective color, brightness contrast for me.

Any good brushes, textures, or patterns you'd recommend? I go on Deviantart.com for that stuff myself. Then I use planetrender.com for renders or google of course, lol.

I don't really use most the tools on there. Never use brushes, textures, or patterns myself

Lol, I played around with it and got this...



lol, it is very primitive .
