Create a Christmas tree in Adobe Photoshop

This year will end very soon. It is the reason I decided to share this tutorial. To create this mast Christchurch Tree I mainly use Brush Tool, the Pen tool and custom Sharp tool to edit photo. Linked to this is perhaps not creative enough, I need your ideas to improve or edit my creativity and once you've read and you can try to show me what you think.



Go ahead with

Step 1:

Open Adobe Photoshop ( stock photos :) ) and make a new document format 10cm x 10cm accuracy of 72 pixels. Make a new background color is the gradient style from below




Step 2:
Using the Pen tool (U) and start to draw a Christmas tree and color again.



Step 3:
Using the Brush tool to paint the principle that is associated with Christmas Theme and set the following options.








Step 4: Make sure you create a new layer (Ctrl + Shift + N) and the first floor before you start with a white brush.




You can adjust the size of stars and black to hide the tree and press U to add a big star over the trees in white too. Here it is.




Step 5:
Using the tool Sharp (U). Watch the cycle follows the object and white tie your star is white.



Step 6 :
Well for starters this layer mask please go to the layers palette are no shortcuts below and see picture below, you will understand




When you want to say that you have a way to make the layer mask to make sure that you are what you want to make the layer mask. Set your foreground and white background and black. Press G (Gradient) and see the option of shade just to follow what I did




Then go to your tree and start the mask that you see in the image below for your results.



Step 7:
Using the Pen tool (P) to draw a new tree. Like what you become real star tree.




Step 8:
Look back to use the Custom Sharp Tool (U) and look for a Christmas snow path.



Enter the white snow, and only 40% opacity. And here the final result.




I hope you're comfortable with it and enjoy your design. Change the background or the style you want or send me a comment if you have any doubts.

The system restarts automatically - why your system keeps rebooting and how to fix

When the system automatically restarts, you can not do anything productive on your computer. Automatic system restart is really an annoying problem that occurs mostly when the system is corrupt and can not hide the mistakes of Windows.

Unfortunately, not all errors are related viruses, and then running a virus scan is not always helpful. To resolve this problem, you may need a different approach.

There are a number of reasons why a system restarts automatically. The reasons are corrupt system files, registry errors, serious errors, such as Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), defective RAM, installing the drivers are not compatible, and infection.

I would propose the following steps to resolve this problem:

1. Disable Automatic System Reboot
2. Run System File Checker
3. Run Registry Scan and Fix the Errors Found
4. Replace Computer Memory
5. Remove Unsupported Driver

Disable automatic restart

By default, Microsoft Windows is configured to automatically restart after a major system error in the BSOD. Unrecoverable error occurs when the system restarts automatically to prevent damage and documents.

If your system automatically restarts, and you want to solve this problem, then you need to know the error code displayed on the BSOD, if any. Also disable the following:

1. Right click My Computer.
2. Select Properties.
3. Click Advanced System Settings link at the left hand side.
4. Click Settings button under Advanced tab and Startup and Recovery frame.
5. Uncheck the box named Automatically Restart, and click OK | OK |Close.

Run the System File Checker

The System File Checker (SFC) tool is already installed in Microsoft Windows operating system. This tool scans the system files for unauthorized modifications and corruptions and it replaces such type of files.

1. Insert Microsoft Windows Operating System Installation DVD ROM.
2. Click Start | Run.
3. Type SFC /ScanNow, and press ENTER.
4. Follow the instructions on your screen.

Run Registry Scan and fix errors found

Windows Registry is a database with large amounts of stored information. The information is not limited to user settings, but also installs the operating system, software applications and hardware. Unauthorized changes to the registry often lead to fatal errors, so the system automatically restarts. Software must use a registry cleaning and fixing problems recommending a solution suggested by the experts.

Replace the memory modules

It is found that the system restarts automatically when the RAM is not installed correctly. In other words, often a faulty RAM causes this problem. The solution is to replace these faulty RAM. If you have more RAM installed, and then testing them one by one separately. It will know what the RAM does not work correctly.

Remove the driver is not supported

Device drivers are installed, is designed for the operating system currently in use. The system restarts automatically if the device driver is not working properly or not supported by the operating system. You should remove these device drivers.

1. Click Start button on the Taskbar.
2. Type Device Manager in the Search box, and press ENTER.
3. Expand all the device categories and make sure that no device driver is marked with exclamation mark (X). If you found a device driver with exclamation mark, then right click it, and select Uninstall option.

Virus Infection

If the system restarts automatically when Windows starts, then step, a virus may be the culprit. Viruses are entering the implementation of the startup list so that the system automatically restarts once the virus file is executed. You can not use a good antivirus program and permanently delete infected objects. Otherwise, using a spare drive will be a good option. rescue disk to disinfect your computer without booting the operating system.

Recommended

A registry cleaning software is needed to solve registry problems and other hidden problems in Windows. I highly recommend using a good software, known and recognized worldwide for this task. Under the compromise with your registry can cause trouble for the future.
