Is there a way to screen a jpeg file in Autocad 2008 to be half toned to a lighter weight?
when i print a drawing with a jpg attached it comes out very dark and make sit impossible to see the work i have done on top of it. i have moved my work to be ON TOP of the image but the jpeg over rides my work. Is this possible?
who uses Stochastic screening (FM) in place of standard screening (AM rosette) when printing offset. I understand the advantages of the FM screening, due to scattered dot pattern, but what I want to know is does it prevent ink offset when printing large dark colors.

When the modify dimensions box is open, the 'roundoff' menu gives me 1/16", 1/8" etc, even when DECIMAL is selected as the unit format.
This wasn't happening earlier, not sure what's going on. [in fact in a solved problem from earlier, a colleague found a drawing that had units set to millimeters, had its insertion scale set to inches! Different computer, so not related].
I am trying to change the line weight on an ipt file saving to a jpg format.
I am creating operations manuals and line weight and pixalation is unacceptable.
Is there any way to screen parts of a drawing other than using colors? For instance Microstation can screen using fences.
Basically I have one file of line work I am referencing into my sheet file. This line work consists of around 40 streets for a construction project. I need to be able to show where each street is according to surrounding city blocks. The idea is to have the street being worked on as being bold and surrounding streets screened out. Is there any way to do this aside from making each street its own file?
I want to bring a base drawing (drawing A) into another drawing (drawing B), but have it screened (say, at 35%) so that the information overlaid onto it in drawing B (unscreened) is brighter, and darker, so that it pops out, and that drawing A appears as just a background. I want the lineweights of drawing A (assigned in the CTB file) to remain thick and thin, but just to plot with a screened value. How can that happen? So far, I have just assigned xrefed-in layers a thin lineweight, which might work, but would prefer that the xrefed-in layers retain their thickness but appear shaded. I feel like I did this years ago, but how to accomplish this.

I can use several tools including move, magic wand, paint bucket, crop. However, I cannot use the eraser, paintbrush, healing tool, clone stamp (which is the one I desperately need to use) or many others.
How do you make someone appear thinner or fatter in Photoshop.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis is a very strange thing that is happening. Half the text on my file is not printing, it's like it's invisible. The strange thing is I received two files from the same person the first one was fine. It odd the first five lines are printing but not the rest of the text. I can re-type the text but I was wondering why it's happening.

What we do is open the .pdf form the printere, adn paste this on topof our orignal .ai file. This is to proof what theyt changed. Adding in theri product numbers, adn updating the UPCS is about all we want to see. What we look for is shifting type, or missing elelements.

This query is with regard to a Wire-removal/Touchup process in dealing with16Bit(half float) EXR files. Here is the process we adopted.
- Opened a 16Bit (Half float) Exr file in Photoshop, which showed it as 32Bit file
- Since the footage has lot of fire/blast elements among which we need to erase a "WIRE", we need to use "Healing Brush" which doesn't work on 32Bit files. When we tried to 'Convert' 32 Bit file to 16Bit file directly, we get a 'Washed Out' problem, since the shot is over exposed due to Fire/Blast elements in it. So here is a pipeline we used.
---- Added "Exposure" (Image > Adjustment > Exposure)
---- Set the "Exposure" to -5 (since it is a over-exposed frame, value -5 depends on exposure values of shots)
---- File > Export > Render Video (OpenExr output)
---- Open the above render file in photoshop
---- Convert to 16bit (Image > mode > 16bit)
---- Use any 16 bit tool for cloning (Eg. Healing tool)
---- Added "Exposure" (Image > Adjustment > Exposure)
---- Set the "Exposure" to +5 (Reversing)
---- Convert to 32bit (Image > Mode > 32Bit)
---- File > Export > Render Video (OpenExr output)
After rendering out, we checked the "original footage" with the "output exr" and apart from the Touch-up (wire removal) portion, all other details remain the same. Since this is a high-end hollywood project, (professionals) confirm whether this process is safe.
During the process we found a bug that this process only works, when we render whole footage, meaning if we try single frame, then there seems to be a slight color difference only in the overexposed area.
When we opened the client input EXR file, under Nuke it shows as "16 Bit (Half float)" but the same when opened under photoshop it shows as 32 Bit file.
I was working on an advertisement, and I cant get the text to two-tone. all i can get it to do is 1 solid color. How do you get it 2 or three colors?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have new laptop with Photoshop cs4. I have a Nvidia Geforce GTX 660M 2G hard drive in the lap top. The colors look great in everything but Photoshop. Everything in Photoshop has a yellowish almost sepia toned tint. I have been trying to figure out what is wrong for several day... (and several hours for several days). I understand that Photoshop color corrects, but if I have de-saturated an image why does it still look sepia in Photoshop and B&W everywhere else?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI really don't remember this happening in Lr 3.5, but it is in Lr 4.1-3 and only effects Sepia toned images I edit for the most part. Just finished about 200 images from an event where I will put them on a DVD to music for purchase. They all looked fine when I finished with them. I exported them as JPEGs, long side 1024, quality 74. The rest of the long story short, iMovie made them look awful, opted for iDVD. First time viewing them all was good, but after multiple viewings after rearranging/adding/deleting images from the project, they look like crap. For some very strange reason, many took on a pinkish/reddish coloration and often will introduce artifacts that simply weren't there in Lr. I viewed my edited images on 2 other Mac's and the issue remains, so not my computer.
I have an 27" iMac, OS 10.6.8 (completed up-to-date), 3.3GHz duo core, 12GB RAM, 960GB of free space on a 1TB HDD. Under warranty the display and recalled hard drive have been replaced, so my Lr 4.3 is completely fresh; not from a backup. With the new HDD recent, I haven't calibrated my computer as of yet. My images are on a WD 3TB with 1.25TB of free space (a tad on the low side but shouldn't effect anything). My camera is a Sony A33 and I shoot strictly in RAW set for sRGB; using ProPhoto in Lr and for sometime now only in Manual.
How to seperate colors for silk screening.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to learn about color separation for silk screening.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use Photoshop to convert images to halftone bitmaps for silk screening, and have come across a new problem. I have separated my three gray scale layers, and converted the first layer (a scanned B+W image) as I normally do, without any problems.
That is: Image>Mode>Bitmap / Halftone, 600 dpi / 47 lpi, 45 degree angle.
I then try to do the same thing with the other two layers (objects drawn with the pen tool in Photoshop in black with no background). But the halftone doesn't work. When I try, the watch appears while Photoshop works, then there are the bodies on a white background. The black drawings continue to be solid as before only with somewhat pixelated edges. I have scoured the internet and haven't been able to find a relevant thread.
I am very torn about the layers palette. I love that layer via copy will respond to groups as well as individual layers but I hate the color. I find it much more difficult to quickly find what I am looking for with the names and info inverted on a black background.
It is also more difficult to see the separation between layers and tell when one ends with its effects. Overall I feel my productivity regarding the layers palette has slowed down and become more frustrating. Everything else seems to be great. Is there a way I can convert over to a light toned color palette instead of a dark one?
I recently installed Photoshop 7 on my PC and when I open the program the default color settings appear all yellow and green toned and not true RGB. I have tried messing with the settings but I cannot seem to solve the problem. It would be easier if I could show the screen shot of what I am talking about.
I work for a large fortune 500 company and the software is installed through a server which allocates the licenses. I dont know if there may be a bug in the program but maybe that has something to do with it.
I have a grayscale tif of a golf ball that I want to turn into one PMS color vector art, using only screens of that PMS color. I can convert it to vector easy enough but having no luck getting it to my chosen color.

I am xref'ing in a floor plan (provided by a client) & I need it to print at a lighter shade of grade. The information that I am adding will be on my own layers and will be darker.What I need is to change all of the various lineweights from the xref'd file to a single gray lineweight, but not change the linetypes. I have seen this done, but it was a long time ago, & it was with an older version of AutoCAD. For the life of me, I cannot recall how it was done. Any simple way to do this without phyiscally changing my original copy of the drawing.
