just Google "Photoshop makeover tutorials" and you will get tens of thousands to choose from - pick one and use an image you have to try to run through the processes - some parts will apply to your image some won't.
This might be a good place to start.
It's way too complex to do in a forum based environment.

I can do some of it but wow, that guy is a real pro & expert. I wish I could do that in 4 minutes

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 12-27-2008, 06:25 PM

oh is that cs4? maybe ill get that whats the major differences from cs3 extended?

DonaldG · 12-28-2008, 04:48 AM

From what I could make out - it can all be done in Photoshop, (any cs version)

The secret is not just having the software but knowing how to use the techniques and in which sequence.

CS4 has a better interface and some new features. I haven't used all new features, but there's one I liked called "content-aware scaling". It's amazing. It detects the foreground objects in the pic and the scales only the background. For example, if you've got a pic of a car in the foreground and trees and scenery in the background, if you use content-aware scaling, you'll only resize the background, while the car stays intact. You can let photoshop auto-detect forground objects or you can create a mask to tell photoshop which objects to protect and what to resize.

And then there's hardware acceleration (OpenGL based) in CS4. So if you've got a half decent video card, the zooming, panning, etc. is ultra smooth, without any lags at all!!! even for very big images.

You can also rotate images. There's a new rotate tool. And there are also more options to manipulate 3D objects. You can also create a 3D object from your 2D pictures (called 3D postcard). It's still a 2D object, but you can rotate it etc. in space like a 3D object. You can always insert and manipulate 3D objects created in other softwares, like in CS3.

Search Youtube for "cs4 content aware scaling" and "cs4 opengl". it's really cool.

I've just started learning photoshop. CS4 is really good.

Do you mean 'Graphics Tablets?

They (usually) plug into a spare USB socket and let you doodle/write directly into the PC.
