Your Questions About Photoshop Brushes

Saturday, December 31st, 2011

Joseph asks…

Photoshop brushes……?

I’ve downloaded a bunch of different brushes for Photoshop CS3 extended. My friend wants some of them but I dont know where they’re stored. I looked in program files, adobe, photoshop etc but i didnt see anything there which looked like brush files.. Where do they get stored?
Im pretty sure only the default brushes are in the presets, brushes folder. I’ve downloaded many more brushes but they arent in that folder..

mikey answers:

Do a search for “.abr” files (although some brushes can be .png files most will be .abr).

Susan asks…

Photoshop Brushes?

Is there a way to convert different photoshop version made brushes for another version…cause i just a loaded a bunch of excellent brushes and i cant use cause i have Photoshop 7 and most were made in Photoshop CS and higher…Would yall please help?

mikey answers:

Perhaps someone else can tell you, but I am thinking you are just out of luck. Adobe wants to keep selling upgrades to photoshop. If it were possible to just keep adding features to older versions, then obviously Adobe would be losing lots of money. People would just keep downloading features to their old versions and never pay to “upgrade”.

Obviously Adobe designs Photoshop to not allow it to accept fragments of any newer version.

Ken asks…

photoshop brushes?

I have a project where I need to make a restaurant menu. I’m using photoshop but i can’t find any brushes I like. Any good sites where I can download brushes for free?

mikey answers:

I know I personally have a lot of brushes from PureAnodyne, but when I’m looking for a specific type of brush, I just Google “free photoshop brushes” plus whatever you’re looking for. There are lots of good sites out there that offer quality stuff for free. Usually the artist just asks that he/she be credited when their work is used for anything to be displayed to the public.

Laura asks…

Chris asks…

PHOTOSHOP BRUSHES !!?

i have photoshop adobe elements6 and when i install the brushes they never are saved !!! wat should i do !

mikey answers:

I really hate to do this because once you learn how to save and load brushes, you’ll become just as addicted to new brushes as the rest of us are;-) I don’t know if you have Windows or Mac or what you did wrong when you tried to install the brushes so will pretend you have Windows (because I do) and we’ll start with step one.

Make sure PSE isn’t open.

1. Download the brushes zip folder to your computer (I use the Desktop). Right click on it, then click on Extract All. In the dialog that pops up, click on the Extract button and then click Finish to exit. Find the extracted folder. It will have the same name as the zip folder and be in the same place as the zip folder but it’s usually never right next to it.

2. Right click on an empty place on your desktop, scroll down to New and then up to Folder and click. The New Folder will have a flashing cursor. Type PSE BRUSHES to name the new folder and press Enter on your keyboard. Drag and drop the zip folder into this folder. Depending on how often you download new brushes, put all the zip folders into this folder and every month or two months copy it to a disc for backup. If you put the brushes into the program and then have to uninstall/reinstall or if your computer goes belly up, you’ll loose all the brushes you’ve installed. If you’ve got the zip folders in you PSE BRUSHES folder all safe on a disc you can re-install them if you have to.

2. Now, because I don’t know what operating system you have (XP, Vista or Mac) I can’t tell you exactly the path to your brushes folder but I can give you an idea. Click on Start, then All Programs, then Accessories. Scroll down to Windows Explorer. In Vista, you get Windows Explorer when you open Pictures and Documents (easier). Find Computer in the list and click the +, C: and click its +, Program Files and click the +, the Adobe +, the Photoshop Elements 6 +, Presets+ and scroll down and click on the word Brushes. Minimize the window to expose your desktop. Right click on the extracted folder and click on copy. Maximize the window and right click on an empty space in the area displaying the brush files and click on Paste to copy the folder. Close the window.

Clean Up: Drag and drop the extract brush folder on the desktop into your PSE BRUSHES folder for safe-keeping. Open PSE. Open a photo or a new file and click on the brush tool. Up in the Options Bar click on the Brush Picker dropdown (next to the picture of the brush). Click on the Brush styles dropdown – it usually says “default” and find the name of your new brushes in the list. Click on the name to load them.

I hope this helps….It’s only difficult the first time you do it.

like not just a normal bulliten board of picture frame cause i have so many.

what is a creative idea that youve seen and looks really good.

mikey answers:

You can get a picture canvas from a craft store or walmart..and paint it in your favorite color….then get some contrasting ribbon..and make side slashes to basically make X’s on the canvas…attach them to the edges on the back of the canvas..and then insert your pictures behind the ribbon..you could do a few different ones and theme them…the day at the park on one…the day at the beach on another…

Thomas asks…

Do Pictures collect moisture if placed in a plastic box??
I thought maybe if i put them in an envelope and then in the box it might help…

Betty asks…

son has nasty rash – advice please?

my 6 year old developed a rash last week – started off looking like small patches of nettle rash on his arms – now spread to most of his lower arms, the back of his hands and some patches on his face, legs, back and stomach – but his arms are worst affected. The lesions are smaller than classic chicken-pox pustules and are itchy but not maddeningly so for him (he has had a bit of a scratch but can bear it for the most part) – he has not been unwell – no high temperature or other symptoms. Doctor said it was probably an allergic rash, but we can not identify an obvious allergen at the moment. I have looked up images of impetigo and scabies – and his rash does not seem to be characteristic of these. The poor little thing looks a mess – most of them had scabbed over and I thought we were over the worst of it but have noticed some new nettle rash type bumps on the back of his hands this evening (not between the fingers) – as far as we are aware, he has not been exposed to anything new recently to trigger this – any ideas? thanks xx

mikey answers:

Have you changed your washing detergent or softner? Also have you changed what you use on to bath/shower him in? Other than that it could either be a heat rash or an alergic reaction to something he has eaten, also has he taken any new medication or medication he hasant taken before e.g penacillin as the rash could be an alergic reaction to medication.

Steven asks…

Bug bite that has a huge red area surrounding it…in my 2 year old!?

My 2 year old was playing outside about 2 weeks ago, and he got a few insect bites. They were pretty large bites, but he wasn’t complaining at all. They eventually scabbed up. All of a sudden, yesterday, they developed very large red areas around them. One is a perfect circle and about the size of a quarter, and the other is just less than a perfect circle and is much larger than a half dollar (close to the size of a golf ball). Both have a small purple area in the center, and the red area is mildly raised, red, and hot to the touch. He has itched it, so I presume it is itchy. I have looked at images of impetigo, lyme disease, cellulitis, and MRSA, and I don’t know what to think?? Any ideas?

mikey answers:

Take him to the doctor. It could be lyme disease but it seems odd he has multiple marks like that.

Anyways, take to the doctor and get some tests done. Better safe than sorry, and if it is something, better to deal with it early.

Mandy asks…

Your Questions About Pictures Of Scabies

Friday, December 23rd, 2011

Donald asks…

alternative health, what to use for scabies ?

I have a small rash on my foot that looks like the online pictures of scabies. I have no insurance, and fixed income, so I like to try the alternative methods first. I read that Oil of Oregano works, Any other alternative ideas ?

mikey answers:

There is some evidence that a 10% sulfur ointment in petroleum jelly applied topically is effective. It is cheap and readily available without a prescription. It also has the advantage of being well-tolerated in pregnant women and infants under two months of age.

You can purchase either or both:
- a good sulphur (sulfur) soap; use at least twice per day or as recommended; and/ OR
- yellow sulphur (sulfur) powder and mix some with any grease (e.g. Petroleum jelly/ olive oil) just to make it adhere to the skin – wear a sock to prevent paste from smearing on your sheet etc.

Even if it’s not scabies, sulphur (sulfur) will address most skin problems (incl. Fungus).

Wash those socks separately from other laundry (eg. Laundry load, add 1/4 cup white vinegar); so you can average for your socks.

Good luck.

Sharon asks…

Why is it that the used oil from car cure scabies?

That is what makes or serving

mikey answers:

Used car oil does not cure anything, its an old wives tale and you can kill your dog putting oil on them. It gets into their skin and they get sick from poisoning.

Joseph asks…

Could I have Scabies?

So I think I might have scabies.
I am going to the doctor soon but I just want to know.
I have these red bumps on my body but they aren’t in a big cluster like most pictures of scabies. And I don’t have them in the common places that scabies pop up. I have a group of about 7 on my waist line/lower back (these were the first I noticed about 1 week ago) and they are just plain red and they USED to itch a ton, but now they don’t really itch and they seem to be fading away.
I have another group of 4 new ones on my upper back side of my calf and they have like a white-ish top, probably because I have been scratching them so much.
I have another group on my lower back thigh (this group and the one I described above will touch if I bend my leg together) of about 3 just like the ones I described above.
I also have about 7 that are scattered on my arm and some on my neck.

Thank you for the help!

mikey answers:

Sound like flea bites to me.

Chris asks…

Could I possibly have scabies?

I have a rash on my lower (lower..) back. I’ve had it for about two weeks I’d say. It was itchy in the beginning. Now its not itchy, just annoying to have.

I’m pretty sure I got it when I had my period, so I don’t know if its from that, or if its scabies.

I’ve looked up pictures of scabies, and the rash is slightly similar, but not really. And the rash is small, it doesn’t cover much space. I don’t know how I would have gotten it though.

I’m just really nervous and upset about it. Is there anything I can do to prevent it (if it is scabies) from becoming worse until I can get to a doctor?

mikey answers:

I think you may want to compare this rash with shingles, it is known to cause some pretty unbearable rashes and is more and more common in people today. But here is a link if you want some info that you can compare your symptoms with and then check with, don’t forget to check doctor though that is the most important thing you can do.

Http://www.articlesbase.com/diseases-and-conditions-articles/scabies-effects-on-skin-351207.html

Lisa asks…

Do I have scabies or is it something else?

I have a few “bites” on my stomach that are red…and a few more on the backs of my thighs. They itch all the time. I found a few too, that are continuous red lines that are raised. I do not have many…as most pictures on google images of scabies show. And they are not in the typical scabies areas. Could that be what I have??
I do not know how to attach a photo, sorry. Any suggestions for what it could be?

mikey answers:

I suspect from your description that you don’t have scabies. But, without including a photo, it’s really quite difficult to say for sure what u do have.

Your Questions About Images Of Jesus

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

Thomas asks…

Who in their right mind believes they see images of Mary or Jesus on household objects?

I have seen some “news” clips about people seeing the image of Jesus on an Iron, image of Mary on pancakes, and other wild beliefs that images appear on household items.

I respect everyone’s faith but who in their right mind believes a burnt image on an iron is the image of Jesus?
or
How the heck do they believe the image of Mary is burnt on pancakes?

Explain how people believe in these so called images.

mikey answers:

I’m sorry, I can’t begin to explain those people. A stain on an iron is an accidental Rorschach (sp?) blot, not a religious experience.

William asks…

Why do images of Jesus show him holding up two fingers?

as a child in christian classes, i’d frequently see jesus as a baby, teenager, and adult holding up his index and middle finger whenever he was in a picture. as i grew older, i noticed that he does the same thing in almost all pictures of him. if you google “Jesus“, the images will show him holding up the same 2 fingers in many pictures. the bible doesn’t even mention this. why are there some many images of him doing this, and who illustrated these images?

mikey answers:

Those two fingers were to be hold like this by the highiest priest to bless all of the people attending, actually it was not those fingers exactly, but it does comes from there, the two fingers you see are more logical for an artist to do and reproduce that the ones the highest priest would have used, so since some believe that this fellow jesus is some highest priest … That’s why, he is supposed to bless you, a most hypocritical statment by those picture him like this since jesus will only bless the ones that are making a contract with him, only thru him one comes to the (false god) father … So it is all rubish if you ask me anyway…

Susan asks…

Is there any good images for Jesus as described literally in Rev 1?

I don’t know how to make it any clearer. I’m looking for a good picture where the artist takes the description of Jesus literally in Rev 1. Thanks and God bless!

mikey answers:

Here’s an artist that has some unique and amazing paintings on the book of Revelation -

Linda asks…

Where do people get the images of Jesus and the Devil from?

Where do they get it from? I know Jesus was born in the Middle East so he won’t look like how they portray in the drawings and dolls.

mikey answers:

Images of Jesus were primarily derived from the Edessa cloth, a mysterious cloth with the faint image of a bearded man. For most of Christian history, he was depicted with dark hair and brown eyes, a dark complexion, a loose ponytail and forked beard indicative of first century Jewish men, and robes similar to those worn in the Middle East at the time. He is still depicted that way in most Christian communities around the world. However, in the Roman Catholic Church, the Renaissance Jesus was depicted with European features (lighter skin tones initially). And in the realism movement of the late 19th century, Jesus was increasingly portrayed with Caucasian features (usually because painters worked from live models, who were Caucasian). It is that Caucasian Jesus that is most commonly portrayed in cheap motel art and Bibles produced in the united States and the UK.

Don’t worry – there isn’t some sort of conspiracy afoot. The vast majority of traditional images of Jesus (most of which have never been seen by the average Joe) depict Jesus as a Middle Eastern man. But those images aren’t realistic and photograph-like, so people adding Jesus art to merchandise don’t like to use them. Instead, they go with realistic images of Jesus. And most of the realistic images of Jesus depict him as a Caucasian.

As for the devil, that is a complex subject. Until late antiquity, iconographers refused to depict the devil altogether. That is still the custom in Orthodox countries. In Europe, however, the devil was depicted from the late middle ages on. Most of the early images of the devil represent him in symbolic form, usually as some kind of horrific monster, a distorted image of angel (complete with feathered wings), or an old man. Sometimes he was depicted with horns, and many times the symbolism was derived from descriptions in works like Dante’s Inferno.

The modern image of the devil with horns and hooves is actually very recent. It stems from the image of the Goat of Mendes depicted on the cover of a book on occultism published by Eliphas Levi in the mid-19th century. Members of the Golden Dawn were big fans of Levi, and they borrowed his depiction of the Goat of Mendes to represent the Devil in late 19th century Tarot decks (the devil in older Tarot decks did not look anything like Levi’s Goat of Mendes). The popularity of AE Waite’s Tarot deck solidified the image of the devil as the Goat of Mendes in the poplar imagination of many Victorians in the early 20th century, and the identification has persisted to this day. Those who claim that the “Church” adopted the goat symbolism in order to transform a pagan deity into the Christian devil are mistaken – there is no evidence to support that conclusion.

Charles asks…

Why do catholics worship images of jesus and mary and saints?

The Bible specifically says not to pray, bow down, or worship images in the 10 commandments and throughout the bible so why do catholics always make images of mary, jesus, and saints??

mikey answers:

Catholics worship God and God alone. To worship anyone or anything other than God goes against Catholic teaching.

When the bible says not to “bow down” it means not to worship, it doesn’t mean that it’s wrong to bend at the waist. While people can bow when they worship, bowing doesn’t aways mean worship. In Japan, people show respect by bowing in greeting – that’s not worship. Likewise, Catholics who bow in front of a statue are not worshipping the statue – they are showing respect for the image/concept being represented. Just like in Psalm 138:2 when David bows down before God’s Holy Temple – He’s not worshipping the temple.

And you do realize that God commands the building of statues in the bible (Ex. 25:18–20; 1 Chr. 28:18–19; Ezekiel 41:17–18). So there’s nothing wrong with creating images. And in Num. 21:8-9 God told Moses to “make [a statue of] a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and every one who is bitten, when he sees it shall live. So Moses made a bronze serpent, and set it on a pole; and if a serpent bit any man, he would look at the bronze serpent and live” One had to look at the bronze statue of the serpent to be healed, which shows that statues could be used ritually, not merely as religious decorations.

So it’s not making images that the bible preaches against – it’s worshipping them. And as I said, to worship anyone/anything but God goes against Catholic teachings.

I know the extended version has newer features added but does it also have all of the same things as the non extended ? Im just trying to figure out with one to buy.
14 minutes ago – 4 days left to answer.

mikey answers:

To my understanding Photo Shop is much oversold to people who don’t really use it professionally. For editing photos as an amateur or professional photographer it is generally sufficient to get PhotoShop Elements 8 at less than a hundred dollars. The main things it’s missing are things only a professional print shop or publication can’t do without. Things like CYMK color processing and color separations for printing presses. All CS third party filters will work on Elements just fine. It uses fewer computer resources and you’ll save a lot of money. You can download a trial version if you want to see for yourself.

Jenny asks…

What is the difference between Photoshop7 and photoshop CS5?

I see a lot of CG type artists that use photoshop7, like using it for digital paintings on a wacom tablet. It can look like the 3d art from Final Fantasy I was wondering if I could use photoshop CS5 for the same thing? Can you use photoshop CS5 for things other than photo editing, like using it for CG digital paintings? What are the differences between photoshop7 and photoshop CS5 aside from how one came out later than the other.

HAHA, There is a difference of a whole decade…
Photoshop CS5 can do everything that Photoshop 7 was able to do…
Photoshop 7 can’t do most of the things that Photoshop CS5 can do…

Your Questions About Pictures Of Animals

Saturday, December 17th, 2011

Chris asks…

where can i find free pictures of animals for my book in which the photographer already gives permission?

like nasa and jet propulsion laboratory allows you to just cite them as a source. you do not need to ask for permission or pay for the photo.

is there any sites that do this for animal pictures?

mikey answers:

There is a big difference between NASA which is a governmental organisation which is totally funded by you the taxpayer and a wildlife photographer who is struggling to make a living.

You will very very rarely find any images which can be used in a commercial manner for free.

I know of no wildlife photographers who put copyright free images up for use in other peoples books or the like.

Could you suggest a camera for taking portraits and pictures of animals?

Hi.
I’m looking to get a new camera soon. I need one that is great at taking people portraits and taking pictures of animals, and macro, maybe.
Thanks!

mikey answers:

Sophie,

Nikon F4s or Nikon D700

105 mm F/2.8 Micro Nikkor (Good portrait and Macro lens)

300mm F/4.0 Nikkor

In any kind of action photography, such as wildlife and animals, shutter lag is an absolute no-no. An SLR, digital or film, is a basic prerequisite for doing productive animal photography.

You will find a point & shoot is frustrating as you miss great shots.

Enjoy and have fun…

Ruth asks…

I want to no how to find skeletal pictures of animals and number of bones in their bodies for holloween diplay

I am going to creat a wall display of animal skeltons indicating how many bones are in the animal, I need to know where to download skeletal animal pictures from and how to find out the number of bones in the animal, this is for holloween wall display in a radiology dept of a hospital, I want to creat a fun way of celebrating holloween and a leaning experience at the same time. any animals would be fine. I don’t have the funds to purchase items to display it must be something I can print from the web. we will have school children (classrooms) tour the hospital and instead of scary I am looking for informational, fun and holloweenie.

mikey answers:

This is a great idea! :-)
I’m a zoologist and I work with animal skeletons every day, but I’m sure that it won’t be easy to find data about specific nº of bones for a species, especially because some amounts are variable among individuals. There are no “list of bones” that I’m aware of.. And some vertebrates such as the fishes or even the reptiles have many more bones than we do!
The information will probably be available for domestic species (dog, cat, horse, etc) and some others that have been specifically studied, so you could choose from well-known animals.

For images, go to Biodidac, it’s a free Canadian site with educational resources. Lots of pictures of skeletons:

http://biodidac.bio.uottawa.ca/

Or use Google Image search:

http://images.google.com/

I’d be glad to help, so once you choose which animals to use I could try to search for specific information about the skeletons of those species. Just send me a message via my profile page :-)

Good luck!

Your Questions About Images Of America

Friday, December 16th, 2011

Laura asks…

Has the Do Nothing Party done anything to change that glaring image America has of them?

Theyre still a bunch of do nothings and deadbeats.

mikey answers:

Repubs are obstructionists with no ideas of their own. Elect them and you just elect place holders who sitting around worshipping the status quo.

James asks…

Why do Americans accuse Marxists of being Utopians when they themselves image America as a Utopian society?

mikey answers:

America is the world-leading conjurer- They convince themselves en-masse that their system makes them the wealthiest in the world whilst individually, they all struggle each and every day. Massively unemployed, under-paid and under-provided for. Their system favours the Corporate more than the individual conferring most “human” rights to their financial and commercial institutions over their citizens.

But hey, they’re happy enough and seem to think it is democracy, most unlike the British, from who’s loins they sprang. Therein lies the rub- We hate the fact that they are happy with a system that we accept as being fundamentally flawed and inequitable.

Donna asks…

Important Visualisations/ Images? Past life?

Whilst i’m Under the influence of Marijuana. (The feeling of Being ‘High’)
I Seem to always end up Nodding off into a sleep, Where I am conscious. Enter some kind of trance state.
(I Fall asleep standing up)
I Enter this kind of state, When only images seem to be slowly making its way closer to me.
These Images are not just images, They are things that intrigue me. Unlock something inside me, Mean something Important to me, Make me think hard and long about them.
I try to think about where they come from, and what they mean.
One of them has been a White leather long bag with Black buckled handles. I can remember seeing this somewhere, I just cannot remember when and Where.

This is extremely strange, Don’t tell me they mean nothing, Because I Know they mean alot.. I wouldnt go to this much effort to find out what they are, or if anyone else can have them.
Sometimes they are the most complex of patterns.
Like One of them is many shapes about 50 of them broken up into pieces of different shapes and sizes, Coloured to specific places, Extremely detailed. I can see this image so clearly in my head.
But I cant draw it, Write it normally, or explain it. It is the most strange thing.
It’s like a long lost memory, I just need to put the pieces together..

They are not meaningless. They all spark something in me, These are important. These images or visualisations must come from somewhere.. and How I know what they are.

I know there are about 20 or more images that seem to flash very quickly but play through my mind all while im High.
at the end, I only end up remembering about 2 of the images.
Sometimes I dont see images, I feel things.
Like its a warm sunny day, with a cold breeze, I can hear this one faint voice that is calling me,
I end to be up in some what kind of water type feeling, I seem to feel the water rise to my head as the shouting fades.
I can hear people screaming although I cant make out what they are saying, The words seem to be jumbled up. or In a different language, Wierdest things..

Does anyone else have these?
What do they mean?
Is it events that have happened? That I Just dont remember?
Why do they Intrigue me?
I also have had a fear of drowning my whole life.. I hate being left alone in the pool, I dont feel comfortable when Im by myself driving a jetskii on the lake.
I HAVE To be with someone.

I can tell you, These are not dreams.. Otherwise i wouldn’t be standing up.

mikey answers:

Sometimes I wonder what’s the use of trying to warn you folks. Sometimes it seems as though the whole world is going to hell on a handcart. That’s probably why you won’t get many answers to your question coming from my angle. Because everyone thinks they can do their own thing without any consequences, and we’re fed up of trying to warn them.

All this stuff you’re telling us doesn’t surprise me. You want to know the meaning of it. Well, the meaning of it is, you’re going deeper and deeper into the spiritual world and it’s exercising a fascination (look up that word) on you, drawing you further and further in. In a way, it’s courting you, by putting on a show – a beautiful and intriguing show – but you are the prey.

You can get into these states by meditating, too, and other out-of-body experiences. It’s all the same thing, the spiritual realm. Or, should I say, the realm of spirits.

For sure, these spirits know your past, and they can also plant suggestions in your mind. Did you know that, that these thoughts you’ve been thinking might not have come from your own system?

And, why do you bring the fear of drowning into it? Is it because you are, actually, experiencing fear in this realm you’re going into, and the sense of being out of your depth?

But once the spiritual is awakened, to tell you not to do it anymore will not really satisfy. It’s like a dog with a bone, can’t leave it alone once the passion’s roused. So, the only thing I can tell you is that this realm is a realm of deception and great danger, from which it’s not guaranteed that you’ll come back, and the wellbeing of your mind is one of the things that’s at stake.

The only cure is to turn to One who is greater, and stronger, and more fascinating, than all of this occult, shadowy stuff posing as life and light. He is the only one who can satisfy this kind of hunger, once it’s roused. For the knowledge of Him is spiritual, too.

Consider this, let me close in saying, what is the nature of the intelligences that you are meeting in your imaginative journeys? Good or bad? Remember, in the spiritual realm, there are no ‘shades of grey’. And, does it even slightly occur to you that your own intelligence might be – sooner or later – no match for theirs?
