Brush For "bite" Marks? And Trans Edges.
I just want a brush for PSCS that I can run across an image to look like someone, or something, was biting the edge.
It doesn't have to be fancy or super "real" looking. Just better looking then using a round eraser and chopping it up. Or a "leaf" brush or some other thing.
I also have another question. It's probably quick to answer so I'll just ask it here too. When layering photos over the top of each other; what is the best way to do gradient transparencies around one image, so the image below shows through and looks nice?
I try using just the eraser with a dropped down opacity, but there is no smoothness to the transparency. I tried erasing with a feathered selection, but that was erasing the main part of the "top" image along with the edges.
Whatever technique it is, it would have to be useable on a round image, or square, or utterly hacked up shape. Simply so it has a smooth transparency to the image below.
I can do this easy with a transparent gradient, IF the bottom was just a solid color.

Bite Effect
I'd like to make a 'bite effect' to a image. I looked for plugin and/or brushes, nothing, and using circular selections (to make 'jagged' dental pattern) doesn't convince me at all..

Brush With Wet Edges
Is there any way to get an application of a brush with Wet Edges to absorb seemlessly into a previously applied area of the brush with Wet Edges? As far as I can see, if you paint a bit, say in Pattern mode, stop painting, and then start to apply the brush again, the paint visibly overlaps the previously applied colour. This makes it impossible to easily create brushed watercolour washes without keeping your brush in contact with the paper (in my case a digital tablet) all the time; if you lift it off for a second, it applies a new coat of paint (or pattern) over whatever is there already. What I'd like is to be able to get a wet edges brush to meld seamlessly into a previously applied area of paint (or pattern). Is this possible to achieve, please?

How To Make A Dithered Gradient (trans -> Opaque)
Using CSS, I want to put a semi-transparent image over another image (by semi-transparent I mean a GIF in which alternating pixels are transparent - see attachment). I drew this image basically pixel-by-pixel (via copy/paste), and it's ok as far as it goes, but what I REALLY want is for the density of opaque pixels to increase from left to right, so the effect when laid over an image is essentially that of a gradient. I DON'T want to have to draw this image pixel by pixel! Whenever I try and accomplish this in Photoshop, it uses semi-transparent pixels which then become opaque when optimized. If I could figure out how to tell photoshop to build a gradient using only 1 color and no semi-transparent pixels (or barring that, white and another color and then I could delete the white...),

Smooth Edges, But Then Changes To Rough Edges When Saving
I tried the following in Illustrator, So basically, I created coloured text inside Adobe Illustrator and however much I zoom into the text, the text always appears to have smooth edges. Once I click on 'Save For Web', the edge all around the text becomes rough and aliased. I chose GIF and PNG, but it still happens. The text is on a transparency background. The same problem applies to images when I am creating a logo.

Crop Marks Not In Correct Place When...
I have created a document that will be cut to 120mm x 120mm, I wanted to include a 10mm bleed around it so I made my Photoshop doc 140mm x 140mm. When I go to the Print dialogue I have checked "Corner Crop Marks", set the bleed to 10mm and in the preview I can see that the crop marks are inside the image, marking out the correct 120x120 area. However, when I click Print the marks appear on the paper at the 140mm x 140mm area. Has anyone else had this error, and even more importantly, has anyone found a solution? I am using Photoshop CS3 (a site license of Web Premium), on a Mac G5 running Windows XP SP2. I have other machines & Photoshop versions available,

Photoshop 6.0 - Weak Registration Marks
I am using a plugin for Color Separation named FastFilms which produces separated (hidden/non-modifyable) color channels. When I print any channel (to an old 11x17 HP Laser 4V) using 300 DPI, the registration marks are nice and dark, but of course I lose pixel definition. When I change the print setting to 600 DPI, I get more pixels but the registration marks are much lighter and partially missing parts of all the circles. I am using this for screenprinting and the light registrations do not expose enough to print. Eliminating the Plug-in as the problem, I created a totally new blank page and printed (same printer) in both 300 DPI and 600 DPI and (hard to understand), both prints have the lighter registration marks. Unless I can somehow darken the registration maks (during print), it would also work if I could "unlock" the hidden Photoshop separated channels (for each color from the plugin) and copy/paste duplicate manual registration "+"s myself. Manually prepared graphics with manual registrations work fine on this printer. I am at a real impass on this. Any help, suggestions, or ideas?

Edges
In my photo retouching work I very often cut out a figure to place on a different background. Usually I have a feathered or aliased edge to blend with the new background which works nicely. Sometimes I duplicate that figure so that I can try some shading,cloning etc without damaging the layer below. If I like the results I usually merge the two layers, problem is the top image seems to grow a bit or darken on the edges and I lose any nice feathering I have dome on the bottom layer.

Jagged Edges?
When I want to delete the background and just have the object or person in the picture, I use the magic wand tool to delete the background then clean up with the eraser. BUT the outline of the object always looks jaggedy. This doesn't happen when I use photographs with the white background. Is there some sort of trick I'm missing? Or do I just need more practice with the eraser tool?

Transparent Edges Of A JPG
I have a high quality but small jpg picture that I need to put onto my website, the background colour is blue. I want to blur all 4 edges of the picture so when I put it on the website page the background shows through with a nice faded effect into full opacity of the picture in the centre of the image. I'm sure its pretty straightforward, but I can't work it out. I played around with the marquee tool but couldn't delete the outer edges like I had hoped. I'm pretty sure it will need to become a .png of .gif to show the transparency but I'm worried about the quality then too.

Sharp Edges
I'm trying to make the edges sharp, when I use the Rectangle tool there is a 1px line on the edges which I think is suppose to blend the image to the background, but I don't want this 1px line, I want the edges to be sharp. How do I switch this off. Using CS2, and I'm sure this is a default setting because I remember reading something about it in the book but now I can't find it.

Soft Edges
I'm trying to create a collage, will be my 10th high school anniversary soon and I really want to do this calmly before hand *ie. not in a rush as i do everything else* the thing is i like this type of blending: photo blending type on Flickr - Photo Sharing! but can't seem to replicate it with my own photos. I've tried reading up on various tutorials all over the net but most usually say to either use a soft eraser or vignette effect and i don't think the latter was used here and i tried the eraser and that just turned out ugly! Anyone with any suggestions on how to replicate this blending type ....

Smooth Edges
I'm trying to smooth the edges of an image I have. Would like to try two things. First is,- simply smooth the edges (this is an image with people in it, and not a shape,-so I don't get the wanted effect when I do "Gaussian blur" as the whole image is being blured). Another thing I would like to achieve is i.e. having a 600*800 image(white background) with a smaller image in the middle. Then somehow manage to blure the edges of the image and by using a gradient colour to make the blured edges cover the empty area around the pic as well... (The gradient to start at the edge on each corner of the pic and finish at outer edges of 600*800 image).. Also, is it possible to draw a frame? Have a pic which I would like to create a tilted frame around (CTRL+T). Only manage to draw a coloured square/circle, then having to cut out the middle of the square to see the image on the layer beneath. Created a new style in "Layer style", but where do I find this saved style?..

Edges, Shading
I am trying to learn is how to give the images of my artwork (paintings) an edge, as if it is a 3d canvas, and a shading to the edges, or just a shading. Also, I would like the corners a little rounded, but not a lot. I have other needs, but I will have to learn to use the program for these, especially editing the colors, since an accurate photo of an original painting is seldom acheived, especially in terms of colors. If there is a very simple guide you can recommend I'll be happy to try it. how to use the program for the basic purposes I mentioned (edges, corners, shading)
