GIMP :: Uneven Lighting And Underexposure On Greeting Card
Jul 20, 2013
I hurriedly photographed the text in a greeting card and have uneven lighting and underexposure that I'd like to correct. Please see attachment, in which I've increased the brightness and contrast and then desaturated.
I've looked at tutorials on gradient contrast masks but I get lost part way through. Either I'm too much of a newbie to understand (highly probable) or maybe the tutorials are for older versions of GIMP. (I'm on 2.8.6 for Windows.)
I don't want a greeting card template. I can create the cards just fine. I just want an action to create an image of a greeting card. I've scoured the net and can find actions to create business cards, book covers, magazine covers, ..... but none to create greeting cards.
I have Elements 9 and created a card in bi-fold format and cannot figure out how to get it to print in that format. I have a Dell V715W printer. Photoshop help is not useful. I am trying to figure out if I need to print add a blank page to the front and print two pages to one sheet (front and back) or something else. There don't seem to be many options when printing or edit options to the file/project/card within Elements 9.
I want to use a different size than the templates. The size is A2 which is half of a 8/12 by 11 paper then folded in half. (that way you can print twocards per page). I want to be able to resize my image to fit this size, add text to the front half with the image and a little text on the back.
I have selected the Shutterfly 2 sided card template and completed all of the card layout. When I try to print, Photoshop Elements 10 wants to print the card as 3 separate pictures. Under Create, pages, it shows the correct layout, but I can't get it to print out that way. When I select print it shows the card as 3 separate photos and prints them out that way. How do I get this to print out as a 2 sided greeting card?
I purchased elements 11 last year to not only edit photo's but also to create my own greeting and announcement cards.I'm having trouble figuring out how to create a greeting from scratch. It seems as if I can only use Adobe's templates. Is there any way I can create my own?
I don't want to print it off my home computer and I don't want to shell out big bucks to Shutterfly. I just want to make it a jpeg so I can go to CVS and print it as a picture.
i created a double sided greeting card (5x7) portrait and selected email attachment under share tab. The result was two separate files. First file was the front of the card and second file was the inside of the card. Not resembling a card. Is there any way to share a card and have it resemble the actions of a real card. (ie: front of card shows first then by clicking next or open or ?? u see the inside of the card?)
I have gone throught the laboring process of photo shopping two photo's to use in our greeting card and I need to scale them down to fit greeting card.
I want to print a folded greeting card from the templates offered by Photoshop Elements, but the printing process requires you to essentially print three things: front, left-hand greeting and right-hand image. It doesn't have one template for just the front and back and another for the inside.
I am taking daily shots of a fig tree which is just in front of my kitchen window. At the end I would like to produce a video showing the fig tree blossoming and then loosing its leaves. I am realizing that the lighting is changing from one picture to the other. Is there a way to even out the lighting of all my pictures to a given average?
I am in the process of adding lighting effects to one of my images. I'm trying to get a lightning effect, and decided to use Supernova off of the image's frame. This worked for full-frame layers, but on smaller layers, not so well.
What's happening is that I'm trying to get single objects in layers to have a lighting effect, but it's lighting up the transparent space around them, making a distinctly brighter area... well, it's better if I show you:
Base:
Adding the Effect:
The Unsatisfactory Result:
How to merge two or more specific layers together, that'd be fantastic.
I am a casual user of Gimp and am trying to design a card that uses slashed zero fonts, both those that are included in Windows 7 and others that I have added. When I use any of the slashed zero fonts with a zero that has been typed in Gimp, the top of the slashed zero is clipped. This happens with every one I tried, yet the same fonts display perfectly in other programs such as Word and Open Office. Is there a setting that is causing this or any way to correct it? If I can';t get this to work in Gimp I will have to move to another program as the slashed zero is a requirement for the project.
I am trying to make basic templates for a collectible card game. The first step is creating the card in the correct shape and making a border. Here is what I did so far :
1. Create a new project in the appropriate size
2. Create an alpha layer
3. Select rounded rectangle to round the edges
4. Invert selection and delete
Now I have a nice card in the correct size and the correct shape.This is where the problem comes in . I want all cards to have a uniform border around the outer edge and I cant quite get this right.
I duplicated the layer and resized it to create the same shape in a smaller size to make this border, but when I show both layers the rounded corners on the smaller sized layers still show up as square. If I show only that smaller layer though, I can see that it has rounded corners.
When I went to make my business cards, I had the settings at 2in x 3.5in 300dpi in GIMP.
When I go to print them as business cards using GimpLabels, you can only see the very top portion of my image. After switching the ruler settings to pxl (in the corner) I noticed my image is actually 2500 pixels by 3500 pixels. Obviously a business card is not that big. So... Is there anyway to easily scale this to the correct size?
I actually have about 10 different versions of this card I have to print.... So it would really suck if I'd have to go in an manually scale every one of them. It would be nice if GimpLabels would scale it itself you know?
I am making some new business cards in Gimp 2.6.11 on Windows OS. What is the best way to place the card image onto a format that prints a sheet of Avery labels? Is that an external plugin? Where would I find that resource?
If I'm creating a batch "text" for a number of files the strangest thing happens. I have to change 10 files all with the same or very close to the same pixel size. In this case 1024Lx . I want to insert a "copyright" text across the image. I create the action, that includes: text, text size of18pts and opacity. and then batch.
The resulting font sizes are very uneven. They are all show up in the individual files as 18 pt but some are invisiblley small some are gigantically large and some are just right. And my name's not Goldilocks. I've tried this on PS3 and PS6 with the same results.
I want to crop the shrubbery out of the top of the attached photo. Also, I want the area that I crop to be transparent so I can paste the empty tomb photo on top of another photo.
Is there a relatively simple, automated tool in gimp to apply one picture's environment lighting properties to another picture?
So for example if i cut out an object from one picture that has pretty warm lighting environment, and put it in a cold light background it will look pretty out of place obviously, and this is what I would like to resolve.
Just started comming back to photoshop after all my sommer activities. Since i graduated from my high school this year i am going to make a greeting card or rather a "thank you card". I tried to make one and actualy i find it prettay hard.
I spend hundreds of dollars on PS - the best graphics program on the market - and yet it does not have a template for doing greeting cards. Or if it has I can't find it . So I am reduced to using Borderbund or some similar software.
