PixelTone | Edit images using your voice

Could you perhaps tell a machine what to do? Will it understand what you speak, and do what you want it to? Even something such as “Make it heavenly?”

Make it heavenly

 

Perhaps we do not yet have an app that will carry this out for us, but we do have technology to apply such commands to our images. PixelTone, a recent collaboration from Adobe Research and the University of Michigan, is an exploratory iPad application that uses natural language, spoken or written, in conjunction with standard user interface controls and gestures, to edit images.

Straighten images in Photoshop CS6

It is pretty easy to straighten images in Photoshop CS6. The new and improved Crop tool lets you straighten images as well.

  1. Select the Crop tool.
  2. Click Straighten from the control bar on top.
  3. Draw a line along an edge that should have been straight. For  example, draw a line along the horizon, or perhaps the edge of a building. Photoshop will automatically rotate the image by the right amount, resize the canvas, and show you a live preview of what the final image will look like

  4. Press Enter/Return to commit the change.

Note: If you want the option to revisit your decision about the crop, uncheck Delete Cropped Pixels in the Control bar. Enabling this option will perform a non-destructive crop.

Resize image canvas in Photoshop CS6

Did you know that  you can use the Crop tool to resize the canvas in Photoshop CS6?

In addition to Cropping images, and performing a Perspective Crop, you can also resize the image canvas using the new and improved Crop tools in Photoshop CS6.

Resizing the image canvas is probably one of the most frequent tasks you do in Photoshop. It’s fairly easy too, and works in all versions of Photoshop. Choose Image > Canvas Size ( or press Alt+Ctrl+C) and enter the new values.

Photoshop CS6 introduces one more method. And a fairly cool one, I think.
