A fun idea to do is create an abstract picture, you can do anything you want to it. One fun idea is the add a fire look to a picture, here is a step by step way to do it: First thing’s first, get a nice stock photo. I used a stock photo of an eye from deviant ART.First of all I opened the photo and resized it to 75% of it’s original size. 1. After you’ve opened your photo up, duplicate the background layer then apply Filter > Distort > Twirl and use the default setting. That should have just distorted it slightly. Now change the layer mode for your duplicated layer to Lighten. That will have made the eye look a little bit alien-like. 2. Now brighten up the picture a little bit by adding in a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast…) Now this is the part where you choose the fiery color for your photo. Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Gradient Map. I changed the layer mode for this layer to Linear Light and lowered the opacity to 85%. 3.Ok, here are some nice optional effects.Before adding effects like these, you’ll probably need to flatten your image (Layer > Flatten Image) then duplicate the one remaining layer. First, I applied Filter > Artistic > Rough Pastels with the default settings. Now change the layer mode for this layer to Lighten and maybe lower the opacity if you see it need sit. I lowered the opacity to 70%. 4. To finish this tutorial off, I flattened all the layers, applied Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen, faded the sharpen to about 40% (Edit > Fade) then I added in a little bit of tech and grunge.
1. First, create a new image 2×2px and using the Pencil Tool (set to 1px), draw image as you can see it below. Try to Zoom In ( View -> Zoom In ) to do it easier. Define your pattern ( Edit -> Define Pattern ) and close the image 2. Open two images. One you want to hide and the other you want to hide first in. In my example, I took to hide recycle logo in Leonardo da Vinci portrait. 3. Create a new image the same size as your other two images and paste both your images onto it. The two images should be on two separate layers. Move the cover image layer above the hidden image layer. Create a new layer and move it above the hidden image layer but below the cover image. Fill ( Edit -> Fill ) this layer with the pattern you made in Step 1. Change the Blending Mode of this layer to “Exclusion”. 4. Change the Blending Mode of this layer to “Exclusion”. 5. Click on the image you want to hide on the Layer palette, and invert the colors, by going “Image -> Adjustments -> Invert (or press Ctrl-I)” 6. Change to opacity of the cover image to change how well you can see the hidden image (Recycle logo), I used 70% opacity.First, create a new image, 200×200 pixels and fill the background with white. Create a new layer [Shft+Ctrl+N]. Then; use the Rectangular/Elliptical Marquee Tools [M] to create any shape you want. Now we need to select our shape. Do it by holding Ctrl and clicking on this layer with the left button of your mouse. The next step is to add layer mask to our shape. Click on button, this will add layer mask. Then, deselect the layer [Ctrl+D]. On the top toolbar, go to Filter| Blur | Gaussian Blur… The window with options will open; select the value of the Radius that will make your shape smooth. I used 4.0. To make our job easier, we need to make our layer mask visible. Do it by holding Alt and clicking on the layer mask with the left button of your mouse. Now, we need to adjust levels of our image. To do it go to Image | Adjust | Levels… The window with options will open and you will see 3 triangles. Use your mouse to drag all of them to the center and you will notice that your shape will start to look smooth. Play around with different triangle positions to get the result you want.

Many different types of industries use industrial DVD duplication systems on a daily basis. Whether it’s for producing duplicated discs for a client, or creating your own marketing disc, desktop production duplication is becoming increasingly popular among established businesses as well as start ups.
Whenever you browse the net your computer has a risk of being attacked by virus or spyware. As soon as these Internet worms take over your PC you start to have their immediate effects. The speed of your computer may start to drop, your monitor screen could turn blue, and your computer may hang. There could be other symptoms, too. The settings of your firewall in the system could have been changed, and sensitive data from your PC could be going out. The attachment with your email could be a virus or a spyware program, and as soon as you try to open the attachment, your computer could be hacked with your personal information sent out to some unscrupulous person.
Coming up with online sources for her law school thesis on money laundering was a task that was made simpler for a certain student with the help of Google. This easy tool was extremely useful to the student in her writing process. A couple months after beginning her project, the student became distressed to discover that her trusty search engine began leading her to a web page unrelated to money laundering.
We all remember the fabled days of pixel graphics and poorly animated cut-screens. Just 10 years ago we were living in an age where PC games were barely even supported by the Windows operating system- now you’ll be hard pressed to find a Windows machine without some type of PC game on it.
PC gamers are no strangers to long hours in front of the computer, either killing time or enjoying a nice quiet evening at home. But when a PC gamer wants to go outside (should that ever happen), they run into a problem. Many of today’s laptops were not created for gamers- and therefore, won’t play many video games. So what is a gamer to do?
Computer and online gaming are extremely popular now - so much so that they have become huge multimillion dollar businesses. There are different games for different audiences - for children and for adults - and new games are being designed every day. The two main kinds of games are Role Playing Games, or RPG - they can be played by a single player or a number of players, depending on the features of each game - and Massive Multi-Player Games, which are played by many players.
Using Google as a research aide for her thesis on money laundering was a common occurrence of one individual law school student. While writing her paper, the student found this to be a very important tool. Within months, the law school student began to experience a fluke as her trusty search engines began directing her towards completely unrelated websites that had nothing to do with money laundering.
