Adobe Photoshop 7 has certainly been one of the most effective catalysts in media, entertainment and popular culture. It’s no wonder people are flocking to learn how to use it. Adobe has already released several higher versions of Photoshop (the latest being CS3) but Photoshop 7 remains popular with many users. This ‘old version’ of Photoshop doesn’t have the extras of the new releases but it can still kick up some magic fairy dust. Here are some online resources to help you learn Adobe Photoshop 7 quickly and easily:

Go to http://CBTcafe.com, where you’ll find free tutorials for Adobe Photoshop 7. There are some tutorials that feature higher versions, but the Photoshop 7 tips and tricks should give you a good headstart.

This is purely Adobe Photoshop 7 so you don’t get derailed by some very tempting bits offering to teach you CS2 or CS3. The site will look plain to you but the lessons are basic – exactly what you would need if you’re a beginner.

A screen capture illustrates the tutorial clearly so you don’t get stuck in the mystery of the textual instructions. Arraich walks you through an overview of Adobe Photoshop 7′s window with its main features and the all-important menu section. The opening screen is numbered to help you identify which feature is which so you know exactly where to look when you take Arraich’s tutorial.

Photoshop 7 has some hidden features that you might have missed. If you want to learn them all, go to http://Creativemac.com. It features a guide written by Julieanne Kost that will let you in on the little Photoshop 7 secrets that will make image editing even easier. If the first brush you have with Photoshop is with 6.0, this article will make the transition very rewarding.

This video tutorial will walk you through the whole Photoshop 7 operation, which makes it ideal for people who have never used an image editing software before. Getting started includes the introduction to Photoshop 7, interface basics, using palettes, image window, imaging process, everything you need to get started.

  How to convert a dull image to a print ready image using totally FREE softwares. The image can further be used for the website applications or sign cutting programs like Flexicut etc.

 Technically it is converted from JPEG to Vector graphics.

 Vector art is the way of graphics where the size increase of the object or picture etc. is in conjunction with the quality. To me it means that when we increase the size of the object, the clarity of the object is still crystal clear. It is not losing pixels or getting blurry as in the case of a JPEG image. When we increase the size of a JPEG image, its quality is lost. See the example below.

 Interestingly, image B is made out of image A but image A loses its quality when the size is increased because its a JPEG image. Where as the image B (As long as it is a vector art file) never loses its quality. The size may vary (mm, cm, inches, feet or meters really doesn’t matter!)

 Real Example

 Image A

Image B

How to Do it?

 Step 1: Choose an image. I have chosen this image because its a good example of small portions inside a square. It is a small image (55×60 pixels, 9.89 kb), and can help me to make the point I am explaining here. (Same clarity with bigger size). It is also part of a logo for an appliance company and one of the customers I made a website for has full authorization to use the logo on his van.

 Step 2: Save the image on your desktop. (Easier to work with) Lets say the file name is “A.jpg”

 Step 3: Open the Inkscape. Inkscape is the totally free program that will do the job. If you want to get it, go on my website and click “Get Inkscape” at the bottom.

 Step 4: Click “A.jpg”, drag and release it on the working page of the inkscape. You will see the small image surrounded by the arrows to increase or decrease the size.

 Step 5: Click on the “Path” menu on the top menu bar and choose “Trace Bitmap”.

 Step 6: In the dialogue box that appears, change “Scans” number from “8” to “256” and click the “Update” button on the right. Generally, whatever update shows, click “OK” at the bottom of the dialogue box. The image B is traced exactly on the top of the image A.

 Step 7: Click and drag the image B away.

 Step 8: Increase the size of the image B. See how clear it is! Now you can increase the size of the image A to match the size of the image B but quality will be far inferior.

 Step 9: Delete the image A out of the page and save file as an .svg file.

 Step 10: If you need to transfer the file to a printing or a cutting program as Flexicut, save the file as .pdf.

 These are the simple steps to convert an image from dull to crisp and ready for printing, cutting or for websites. All free of cost!
