Here are some results I got:
The steps for black ink are as follows:
In Photoshop, put the bottle image onto a layer, and duplicate this layer. To do this, you can select the layer in the Layers panel and press Ctrl+J on Windows or Cmd+J on Mac. We will work with this duplicate layer only, which must be above the original.
Use your favorite method to ...

I just started a new blog, so i decided to make a little tutorial on this.
Here is the result:
How it is done:
Put the logo layer on the background and set blending mode to overlay or multiply (depends on the logo).
Now hit CTRL+T or go to Edit > Free transform
Adjust the anchorpoints as shown in the image below:
You could play a little with the ...

Easiest way to blur stuff in photoshop is Blur Tool (R)
Just take Blur Tool and select Soft Round Brush (The brush that is round and has 0 hardness) Then use various size(s), ones that are fitting to the area(s) that you want to blur of course.
Then blur away. (You might want to make a copy of the image layer (Ctrl+J) before blurring. )
Original image (I ...

In general, enlarge the image using Bicubic interpolation (sometimes, depending on the image, "Bicubic Smoother" works better, but usually straight Bicubic is more satisfactory), then either use Smart Sharpen to bring back the edge contrast, or copy the layer, set the blend mode of the copy to Overlay, and run Filter > Other > High Pass.
Sometimes you ...

Actually, I have a better idea: if you start with a white T-shirt and set its layer mode to "Multiply", you can put the logo on a lower layer and it will automatically be shaded as if it was printed on the T-shirt. Better yet, you can also change the color of the shirt itself by putting a solid color layer below the logo.
Let me demonstrate this technique. ...

You can use the "slice" tool (looks like an x-acto knife, below the wand):
select the rectangular area you wish to save using the slice tool.
go to "save for web"
use the "slice selection" tool to pick the slice(s) you wish to export, set your options and then save.
in the save dialog, pick "selected slices" from the "slices" drop down at the bottom of the ...

Knew this style looked familiar. Took me whole day to remember what plugin it was.
( Not 100% sure the same plugin was used in your example image, but it's at least very similar )
Fractalius filter plugin
Fractalius plugin creates unusual, eccentric artworks in a single step. The effects are based on extraction of so-called hidden fractal texture of ...

The image you have attached was not created using an effect - this is actually a well-executed vector illustration. You may achieve similar look in Photoshop but the outcome will be nowhere near the provided illustration in terms of quality.
Create a new layer above your original photo, fill it with the color you wish (red in your case), and set the ...

The way I deal with glass is to cut out the glass section using the polygonal select tool and remove it to its own layer. From there I drop the opacity in layers panel to 20% and bump up the exposure buy a little, drop the offset by quite a lot and increase gamma correction quite a bit too. This give a nice transparent effect which isn't perfect but is ...

This kind of composite requires two steps: a) get the perspective and form correct, and b) use blend modes and/or opacity adjustments to make it look real.
Perspective and Form
Use the Free Transform tool for simple perspective adjustments.
Use the Vanishing Point filter for trickier situations, or where it has to look exactly right based on the ...

In Photoshop, enlarging should not cause pixelation by default. Go into Edit > Preferences > General... and make sure that "Image Interpolation" is set to one of the Bicubic options (there is even one for enlarging it looks like). Also, if using Image > Image Size... to resize a photo, make sure at the bottom the Image Size dialog you have "Resample Image" ...

Filter > Noise > Reduce noise.
Reducing noise usually blurs the pixels making the image less sharp. play with the sliders to strike a good balance between sharpness and noise reduction
If the image is shot in RAW (unlikely on a compact) then Camera RAW v6 brought significant updates to the noise reduction engine. You'll get a better result removing noise ...

Get the image into Photoshop, get an Adjustmentlayer over it, adjust it that the green part will be white:
Get only the part which was green to be visible for the adjustment layer:
To get there, use the Quick Selection Tool to select the green part of the Bottle.
Then inverse the selection to get everything else but the green part.
Now (if not ...

Photoshop CAN do a blur with a variable radius. This feature is available in the Lens Blur filter.
You first create an alpha channel with a gradient, describing across your image how unsharp you want it to be. (This is referred to as the depth map).
Then you blur the RGB layer, using the lens blur filter, selecting the alpha channel as depth map.
For the ...

Would this be better?
What I did, was actually adding a Curves adjustment layer and then edited curve for each individual colour channel.
This could also be a starting point to add other obivous elements to the image itself, to correct it as much as possible (like those different tint bars at top)...

So if you're after one step process, then ...

The feature you are looking for recreating background is content aware fill, which is already part of your photoshop (if you have a recent one). Google those exact words for tutorials and videos how to use it. Also, Adobe Help describes the use of this tool.

What you could do is create a few layers and give them layer masks that are sized to the different image sizes that you want. I did this by using the Rectangular Marquee tool to make a selection, then going to Select > Transform Selection and sizing the selection to be 150px wide by 50, 100, 150, and 200px high:
Now, drag your images in and apply the ...

Here is the result I got. On the left is what the questioner wanted to do. On the right, I have not removed the bright box, but applied this process around it to show that you can either match the higher brightness or the lower brightness portion with this same process.
Here's the process:
Step 1. Find a common pixel between the modified and unmodified ...

Yes. It's extremely easy, in fact, and as usual with Photoshop there are several ways to do it. The simplest, non-destructive approach is to add a Black & White adjustment layer and clip it to the image layer.
Use the "scrubby" tool to darken or lighten areas as needed to get the B&W conversion you're looking for. You'll see the color sliders in the ...

What you're looking at in that video is a technology proof-of-concept, something that might or might not ever become a product.
But there are ways to turn a set of images into a very 3D experience. See this question on webapps and this page on microsoft.com for one (free and very effective) tool.

Are they line drawings or shaded drawings? If they're line drawings, the most common method is to scan as Black and White, trace the artwork using the pen tool (or freehand strokes with a brush) on a different layer, and work from there.
If it's shaded drawings, she should consider scanning either as greyscale (for black and white drawings) or full color ...

If you are combining large elements like this, I would highly recommend that you move your layout work out of Illustrator and into InDesign or Quark, then output to ...

take a screenshot of your screen
convert layer to smart object
use transform to mimic perspective
duplicate smart object
apply gaussian blur to top object
apply a layer mast to the top object
Select the gradient tool with a radial gradient using foreground to transparent with black as your foreground color and you're all set.

It depends greatly on how the .psd is constructed and what you need out of it.
For example, if you've got a master layer which always remains visible. They other layers which need to be visible for some buttons, but not for others, you may find using Layer Comps to be a good solution. You can simply toggle visibility for layers, then create a new layer ...

In my opinion, the best size for drawing tablet is one that at least
covers the area that you are used to in traditional drawing.
It is important to take into consideration the actual size of the area that you use per drawing usually because you may draw into A4 size paper, but you might not draw one drawing per one A4. Digitally you can always use bigger ...

There's no functional equivalent to audio noise sampling/reduction in Photoshop. The best approach to this kind of problem is not to use Photoshop itself, but Camera Raw.
Select the image in Bridge and use the keyboard shortcut Cmd/Ctl-R to open the jpeg in Camera Raw. Now you have a wealth of noise reduction (including color noise) tools available to you. ...

If I understood you correctly, you could do this:
Select all the layers you want to blur and then go Cmd+G+Cmd+E ( Cmd+G isn't necessarily needed )
Take the Brush tool and Soft round brush ( round brush with 0 hardness ) and make the brush really big ( big enough to cover the whole area you want to blur )
Then run it across the area you want to blur while ...

I don't think you'll be able to accurately mimic the 16bit display without knowing more about the dithering method it uses. Some 16bit and 18bit displays animate their dither pattern, meaning they actually look better than you may expect (I believe lots of laptop displays use 18bit with an animated dither).
Also, there's quite a few dithering methods ...

I assume you're referring to the dots overlaid on the model. It appears to have been part of the photo styling, not post-production.
You could achieve something similar in a 3D modeling environment using a texture map. I can't speak to PS CS6's capabilities in that area.
On the other hand, the eyes seem to have been done almost entirely in post-production.
