I don't remember this being the case before but now when I have several layers I can not go back down the list, highlight and make changes or paint more on the lower layers. Is this the norm or am I doing something amiss?
View 1 RepliesGradient and color banding are very apparent and exaggerated until I zoom in to 66.6%. It even hangs for a split second as if it is solving a new render at a higher quality. This is getting frustrating as I've found myself manually trying to clean up issues that actually aren't there when I zoom in close enough. These issues are expecially obvious when working with skin using several degrunge techniques and dodge and burn on a softlight layer. It does not seem to matter what display I use.
If I commit all adjustments to a new layer the problem goes away. I'm working on a Eurocom Panther 3 running Windows 7 64 Ultimate. I have a hex core Intel processor and 2 Nvidia 580m in SLI, though I am aware that is not used in Photoshop.
How do I lower the opacity of a selection? I know how to lower the entire layer, but is there a special plugin I need?

Actually, scratch that. Now the pressure levels aren't detecting AT ALL. I have the tablet enabled in Input Devices, and the pen is Pressure-Opacity but nothing changes based on pressure.
I tried this video but the fix did not work.
I have an image I want to edit. It is a png tileset for a game, with opaque icons with semi-transparent background (yep the result in game is just as annoying as it sounds).
I'm not satisfied with background and want to make it more transparent (or maybe completely transparent). How do I do that?
There are adjustment tools in PDN that can modify separate channels; AFAIK alpha is technically identical to color channels but these tools only let me edit RGB.
how to specify a layer as alpha mask either.
I'm making a theme for a site and one of the solid color images has rounded edges through use of transparency levels. How do I replace the blue with orange (or any other color) but retain the original transparency levels of every pixel?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of making a command map for the free video game Wolfenstein Enemy Territory.
The games allows to generate a TGA file called Tracemap, which is used by the game to detect which places are outside or inside, for precipitations and artillery. It is commonly used as a base to make command maps, such as:
Other examples:

To obtain a comparable result, I have decomposed the making in 4 steps (4 layers):
- The terrain (background);
- The buildings (in shade of grey);
- The roads (a tool drawing white lines bordered with black and doing the junctions automatically would be neat, if it ever exists...?);
- The "foldings" (that's the Reverso translation, I think it can be guessed from the pic).
So, I exported the terrain in a separated map, compiled it, generated a Tracemap, and I have it in GIMP now. I would like GIMP to detect and do some lines between the different levels like Paint Shop Pro seems to do:

This way, I can draw the height lines accurately, and then color (I already made the palette with required colors); Does this exist in GIMP? Tried few filters but never came close to something like in the Warchest forums.
If it isn't possible I will do it manually ^^'
Does gimp have a feature similar to levels and curves in photoshop? In photoshop, a new layer for levels and curves is created?
Is there a particular part of the forum where similarities / dissimilarities with photoshop are discussed?
In Tools / Options / General there is a selection for memory cache (1-4). I've looked in the Help but get "no results".

View 1 Replies View RelatedI take a lot of underwater pictures usually quite badly . I am looking for adjusting the color levels.
I am guessing I have to create layers to adjust them properly as just fiddling with the Red on the main image isn't really giving me great results.
I found out that there is a way to show clipping areas in Photoshop when adjusting levels via an adjustment layer. While moving the slider, you hold down the ALT key.
I tried this in PSP X3 and it does not work. Any feature for seeing the clipping preview is available in Paint Shop Pro? It's a nice feature.
I have downloaded a few lower thirds from a website and they download as .mov files.
I am trying to add text to them and lay them over some product spotlight videos for my work.
I was thinking that they were going to be in template form but they are not.
What is the best way to add text to these .mov lower third files?
I just have to create my own animation for the text to follow along the lower third?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having problems using VideoStudio 15 to convert a PAL-based file to NTSC.
What I want to do is lengthen the video and to lower the tone/pitch with it (from 25 fps PAL to 23.976 fps NTSC, pull-down style).
I made an animation a little while ago and the file is over 100K. I was just wondering, is there a way to make that size smaller? I'm using Photoshop CS by the way...

If I make a change, like Invert of a filter, it doesn't apply to all open underlying layers no matter if they are Linked, Grouped or anything else I can figure out. Adjustment Layers do apply to all below, but not other kinds of changes/filters.

It's giving me a hard time when I'm trying to retouch big files at lower magnification because actually I cant know until I zoom in do I'm removing something what exist or actually not!
I know it's an issue regards do displaying preview of 16bit image as 8bit image. I was checking this in many ways and it appears only in 16bit mode. I'm quite a quality maniac so I always retouch in 16bit mode and ProPhoto color space to give myself a bit more room to play with post production.
Please take a look at snaps made using windows snipping tool. All images are in ProPhoto color space but I also have tried this in RGB and it looks quite the same.

View 2 Replies View Related I'm attaching a document, created in CS6 that is giving me grief when trying to open and use in lower versions. (have created documents for a group of people with various versions)
Have created two rectangle shapes,(white stroke, no fill, shape tool not path) each living on it's own layer, have added ancor points to then delete a portion of the rectangle creating needed opening at the top.
I would like the end user to be able to use his direct selection tool, to be able to increase or decrease the size of the opening as he needs. (imagine if you will, typing a name in the provided opening... different length names need different size openings)
When saved (maximim compatibility on) and opened in CS2 I receive this message: unknown data has been encountered reading layer (layer xxxxx) will be discarded... continue?
The artwork is all still there, but I loose the ability to direct select (ancor points) the shapes. Can move it around as a whole, but that wasn''t the perk.

I have a JVC Everio GZ-HM320BU HD video camera. I'm using Corel VideoStudio Pro X4.
Each year, I record our X-Mas present opening but I didn't realize that HD files get extremely large (new camera two years ago). I make DVD movies for all the kids every year, but I can't remember the process I did for 2010.
What steps do I need to do to take an existing AVCHD MTS file, (time 1:14:11, 2.44 GB, frame width 1920, frame height 1080) and change it to fit on a DVD?
If I need to change it to a non-HD format, I have no problem with that. I just forgot how I did it before.
We are having this problem with all 8 of our AutoCAD stations.
If we go to Tools / Options / Open and Save / Thumbnail Preview Settings, in the "Sheets and Views" panel, the "Performance-Accuracy Slider" is set all the way to the right, which the Information Panel lists as "Update thumbnails when saving drawing".
This makes our SAVEs very long.
We can slide it to the middle and our SAVEs become very quick.
But we have to remember to change it for EACH drawing we open.
I forgot on the last one and has been saving for half-an-hour so far.
Is there any way to keep the slider in the middle for each time we open?
PS always unchecks the checkbox "Use Lower Case Extension" when saving a file, even though I specified in the preferences that I want PS to save default to lower case.
