    9 days later, here I come. you mean there is a photo of someone with a tee-shirt that has some bad words on it? Sound slike a job for the clone tool! If you ever read this, post here again, I'll check back a few times over the next week - see if we can go over how to get rid of some unwanted picture items.

    Yeah, use the rubber stamp (clone) tool. It's the one that looks like a stamp. First alt click somewhere on the shirt that's similar to the color underneath the letter, and then draw over the letter. The tool will copy the pixels from the source location to the place you drew. You can use it in two modes, aligned and nonaligned. Aligned means the source location is relative to the first place you draw. Nonaligned means it's relative to the picture. Here's a clearer tutorial of the tool:

    Good luck

    Haha no, no swear words. It's just something that I like to leave ambiguos for privacy reasons etc.

    Another photoshop problem:
    How can we change the color palette of some part only of the picture? To make it clearer, here's example:
    Suppose I have drawn a rainbow, but I want to make some parts of the rainbow B&W, and leaving the rest colorful.
    Help.

    Select the colors you want to make black and white. I would recommend the magic wand and the lasso. Play with the magic wand's tolerance until you get most of the color, then switch to the lasso and hold down alt (or maybe control or shift, i forget...the right one will make a plus sign hang from the cursor) while you draw around the pixels the magic wand missed. When they're selected, go to Image-Adjust-Desaturate. It'll only change the selected area.

    Thanks. Another question:
    Can we make a custom gradient? I only see the use of set gradients and not all of them satisfy me...

    Yep. When you're using the gradient tool, click on the gradient it has selected (not the drop down arrow that lets you choose another gradient). You can add, delete, and edit gradients there.

    Can you tell what areas on my shirt that I have cloned?

    Hmmm..... actually your former two pictures couldn't load so I couldn't tell you past attempts. But I guess that the upper right part of the shirt (seen as the picture) seems to be the cloned one: there is a gray to white boundary there.... but that's fine. I couldn't do any better anyway...
    And about the picture, Sweet! What's the animal there?

    Yeah, there's a place below your left shoulder where the light blue doesn't blend into the darker blue. Experiment with a combination of the blur and sharpen tool to get that part to blend - blur it very lightly until it looks better, sharpen a little if the blur is noticable. If the colors look better in the end, but you got rid of the colored noise from the camera, select the area you just worked on and use the Add noise filter to add some.

    Oh, and for an interruption, I have a question here:
    It's still related to my question on multipallette image. Now, suppose this way: I made an image of rainbow (again), and I split it into two sides: one colorful side and one monochromatic side. The problem: How can I smoothen the color difference between the two? I mean, how can I make the color boundary a bit smoother or blurrer so that the color difference is not that contrast?

    You could make two layers, one in color and one in greyscale. Then edit the alpha channel of whichever is on top and drop in a black to white gradient with a relatively small transition. I don't have Photoshop here at work, so I can't be too specific. It might take some fiddling to get the alpha channel to apply to the right layer. I forget exactly how to make it work. I'll give you a couple links to help out.

    Let me know if you need more help and I'll see if I can put something together tonight.

    Okay, I played with it a bit and attached my image. What I did to make this image:

    1. Drew the rainbow in color
    2. Selected entire image and copied
    3. Changed mode to grayscale, then back to RGB (what I mentioend earlier about desaturization is not the same I believe...this looks better)
    4. Pasted the copied color rainbow as a new layer - now the gray rainbow is the background, and color rainbow is a layer on top of it
    5. Went to Layer->Add Layer Mask->Reveal all
    6. Changed to the Channels tab in the Layers palette
    7. Drew the gradient I described above in the new mask channel
    8. Voila

    Ferret? Whatever it is, cute. It's your pet, isn't it?

    To malkiri
    Thanks for the image, that's what I'm questioning. I'll try it.

    You've never heard or seen a ferret? What country/ planet are you on?
