1.First, calculate
how much image size(large) you want to display ( normally, its just a bit less
than your main body width). Suppose, take this blog as an example, the main body
width is about 570px. So, the maximum width to post a large image is 570px. But,
to make the image looks nice, we have to give some padding to it.so,choose the
width which is a bit less than the post body width.. like 560px.



Now, Go to Layout » Edit html



Find this




]]></b:skin>



Add this before that line:






img {

max-width: 560px;

width: expression(this.width > 560 ?
560: true);

}





Change the value in red depending on the previous step.



Note: Do check if you have the
img{ tag already in your template. If
its there, just add the additional couple of lines to it.






max-width: 560px;

width: expression(this.width > 560 ?
560: true);









Save the changes.



2. Now, while doing your posts, upload
the images normally like you did previously. Once the image is uploaded, go to
Edit html tab, and the image code will look something like this






<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnN4OQnYScWSApr6MuPX9gMS7D_wW9nyoAvT0mp73BaD5fp-B03xzxswe-NWSXs5PdcJMIxaVdRBtIAi_O9vngjx8800zwmFQd5772jOYwZieA9oLSaBqNPujfhQuetPpnyMmEFegBco2M/s1600-h/megan+fox.jpg"><img
style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor:
pointer; width: 280px; height: 400px;"
src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnN4OQnYScWSApr6MuPX9gMS7D_wW9nyoAvT0mp73BaD5fp-B03xzxswe-NWSXs5PdcJMIxaVdRBtIAi_O9vngjx8800zwmFQd5772jOYwZieA9oLSaBqNPujfhQuetPpnyMmEFegBco2M/s400/megan+fox.jpg"
alt="Normal Picture without the hack" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350218059319919970"
border="0" /></a>





All you have to do is Just remove that bolded text (width and height attributes)
and replace s400 to s800.



So, the final code looks like this






<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnN4OQnYScWSApr6MuPX9gMS7D_wW9nyoAvT0mp73BaD5fp-B03xzxswe-NWSXs5PdcJMIxaVdRBtIAi_O9vngjx8800zwmFQd5772jOYwZieA9oLSaBqNPujfhQuetPpnyMmEFegBco2M/s1600-h/megan+fox.jpg"><img
style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor:

alt="Normal Picture without the hack" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350218059319919970"

Done! Now, your uploaded image will look big in the post.

Easy Abstract Photoshop Tutorial

This tutorial will show how to create a very simple abstract shape using a
few brushes and effects. For this tutorial I will be using Adobe Photoshop CS3.
If you have an older version of Adobe Photoshop, you may still be able to follow
this tutorial.

Keep in mind that it would be nearly impossible to duplicate this exact
object, but this tutorial should give a guide to creating your own unique
object. You should end up with something like this.

The first thing we need to do is download the brush set for this tutorial. You can download the
free Trance Brushes from Brusheezy.com by clicking here..

After you download the brushes, extract the .abr file from the .zip and save
it.

Open Adobe Photoshop and create a new document 700×700.

Fill the background layer with black (#000000) and select the brush
tool.

Load the brush set that you just downloaded by clicking the drop down next to
the brush > the arrow point right > then the load option.

Select the Trance Brushes and load them. You will see the new brushes appear
at the bottom of the brush set.

Reset the color swatches so that white is the foreground color and black is
the background color. Create a new layer and use some of the brushes to create
an abstract shape. When you are painting with these brushes, do not drag the
mouse like you normally would. Instead click once to create the shape. There is
really no science to this. First I will use brush 305 to create this.

Next I will add a few more with #213.

Then I will use 215 to make a tail.

To complete this shape I will dab a couple times with the brushe that is
numbered 380 for me.

‘ />

Like I said before, there is no set way to do this, just come up with a shape
you like. Now to add a little bit of color I will apple a purple glow. Right
click on the layer in the layers pallet and select blending options.

Apply an outer glow using the color #7200ff.

I also added an inner glow using the same color #7200ff.

Apply the changes and you should get something like this.

Now we are going to distort the image using the polar coordinate filter.
Click Filter > Distort > Polar coordinates.

Make sure that Rectangular to Polar is selected and click ok

You will get something like this.

Where the object is located on the canvas will effect how it is distorted. If
you do not like the way it came out, undo the filter and move the object. Then
try to apply the filter again. Mine looks ok, but I think it is a little blurry.

I am going to apply the Smart Sharpen filter to sharpen up the image. Click
Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen.

You will have to play with the settings to see what looks the best for you,
or you could skip this step completely. Here is what I used.

This is what my image looks like now.

That is all it takes to create a simple abstract shape using brushes. If you
do a search online you can some great free brushes to play around with. You
could also add some text to this and make into a background or
something.

In this tutorial we will use Adobe Photoshop to create some water.



Firstly create a new document - Im using 400px by 300px for this tutorial
however you ca of course use whatever size you want.



Create a new layer and call it "water". Now press Ctrl + A to select everything.
Using the paint bucket tool fill it with #3655B1.







Now we want to use some filters on our image to actually make it look like
water. Go to Filter >> Noise >> Add Noise. Set the amount to 13% and click OK.







Now go to Filter >> Blur >> Motion Blur. Use the following settings:







Now go to Filter >> Sketch >> Bas Relief and use the following settings:







Only one more thing to do now. Add another motion blur like we done before
however this time set the distance to 15.



Heres my final result:
