标题也看到了，这个东西真的是个不错的小工具，目前我能想象到的能发挥它最大价值的地方就是去除马赛克（实际上已经有人这么用了）。前面那张对照图也很清楚的表现了它的效果，虽然不能很完美的去除障碍物，但是总算还是让它透明化了。对于不懂PS的人来说，PhotoWipe无疑是一个不错的选择。当然，你不能指望它那么完美，因为效果如何很大程度上还要看你自己的操作，因为你需要用鼠标画出需要去除的部分，微操不好的话，说不准不该去除的部分反而会被抹去哦！

今天介绍的这个滤镜就是专门用来制作圆角图片的。比起直接使用圆角工具完全凭手工制作圆角图片，这个滤镜毕竟还是要方便一些。圆角的参数设定也完全可以用 鼠标完成，基本上也算是一种傻瓜化的工具了。上图就是使用Rounded Corner制作圆角图片的前后效果比较。它提供了两种模式，一种是保留杂边的，另一种是自动消除杂边。我用的是消除杂边的模式，对一般情况而言，还是推 荐大家使用这种模式。这样，图片处理之后，边缘看上去会自然圆润一些。

In this Adobe Photoshop tutorial, we’re going to look at how to add colorful streaks of light to a photo. You’ve probably seen these light streaks used in ads for everything from shampoo to cellphones, and in fact they were used most recently in a cool ad for a new cellphone from Sprint and Samsung. Creating them is as easy as drawing a path with Photoshop’s Pen Tool and then stroking the path with a brush, with a couple of simple layer styles used to add the actual color and light effect. It’s all fairly easy, but if you’ve never used the Pen Tool before or you’re not sure how to draw paths, you might want to check out our Making Selections With The Pen Tool tutorial first, where I cover everything you need to know about drawing and editing paths with the Pen.

Announcing the first tutorial of a new series!
Together, with a pinch of this and a dash of that, we’ll figure out how to create this cool effect in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients:
1 normal, everyday Photoshop
1 set of real 3D text.
1 large black canvas (1600×1200px)

Last week we published our 10th Wallpaper of the Week. It was an awesome typography/design from Ginger Monkey Design called Compassion. What I really liked about that design was how they mixed some “frilly bits” with the typeface to create an outstanding piece of work. I decided to create a tutorial showing you how to do that as well.
