Hello there, this time I have a nice Post from the best Site all over the world “Smashing Magazine“, that’s will made some concepts clear for your and your workflow with Photoshop.
Enjoy!

Congratulations. You’ve just completed a pixel-perfect mock-up of an app, and you’ve gotten the nod from everyone on the team. All that’s left to do is save the tens, hundreds or maybe even thousands of production assets required to bring it to life.

It’s probably the least interesting part of designing software, usually entailing hours of grinding. Saving images to multiple scales — as required by iOS and other platforms — adds complication to the process. But there are ways to streamline or automate the exporting process.

[Editor's note: A must-have for professional Web designers and developers: The Printed Smashing Books Bundle is full of practical insight for your daily work. Get the bundle right away!]

Copy Merged

Rinse and repeat for every image needed for the app or website. The technique is simple and quick, but repetitive; and if you ever need to export the images again, you’ll have to start from scratch.

This seems to be the most common method and, for some designers, the only method, which is a shame, because better techniques exist.

You could create an action that triggers the “Copy Merged,” “New,” “Paste” process — a small time-saver, but ultimately not much of an improvement to the workflow.

Take a look inside and Enjoy it!

A great technique for creating motion, mood and action in an artwork is to give the sense of a story coming to life. Although used frequently in film and books, this technique also can be applied to digital art, by using an object such as a book, painting, photograph or drawing as the focal point, and then having the composition seem to spring to life from it.

In this fantasy photomanipulation tutorial, you’ll learn how to start with just a few stock images and quickly build up an incredible story-based artwork. You’ll see how to manipulate images, add effects and build an amazing artwork in this Photoshop photomanipulation tutorial.

Let’s get started!

Tools used:

Photoshop CS
Various Stock images

Final Image Preview

Step 1: Stock/scene setup and tentacle orientation

Ok to start off with we will need our base stock, the stock that everything else when be put into and that we will build upon. I choose the below stock image from Shutterstock but you can use whatever you like. The main thing to keep in mind is that you need to get something you like and that is of a decent size, mine for instance is 2000*3000.

So now we need to grab our tentacle stocks and isolate them out. I obtained my two tentacles from Shutterstock but you can get them else where or use something entirely different, in the end its going to be your piece after all!

That’s a big Deal!
On this Post from “1st webdesigner“, you’ll find many tips & Tricks on some very important questions about how Photoshop works!
This thread the Author gives you some tips on Color Settings, which is a good point for Designers everytime.
I hope you’ll discover something new for your Work.
Enjoy the Post!

Color settings are often skipped by self taught Photoshop users and usually people can get away without any knowledge of them. So should you bother getting familiar with them?
The real question is – how serious are you about your work? If the answer is anything else then “not at all”, then any additional knowledge benefits you. Basic knowledge of the options here can make your life much easier at some points. Your designs will probably be displayed in multiple places in various shapes and forms, therefore you might want to make sure, that they look they way you intended them to look. The following article will give you a helping hand in achieving that goal.



Let me start off by telling you, that the purpose of this article is not to give you a long and probably boring explanation of all the options and their respective descriptions, but to give you enough knowledge so that you know what you’re doing.
Let’s begin with localizing the Color Profiles option.
You can access them from the Photoshop menu Edit -> Color Settings or by using the shortcut CTRL+Shift+K .

The following window should come up:
