View 2 RepliesIm trying to merge 2 maps together so that I can combine the info from the 2, unfortunately one of the maps has been adjusted to the curve of the earth while the other is flat. I've been able to get it fairly close with the perspective tool but I was wondering if theres any way to make it match points on the maps to merge them down to the same size and shape so that they flat map has the same curve as the other map.

The maps might have different scales and may vary in details. I'm hoping that some "edge extraction" and "overlap matching" can automate this task.

case in point: create a visible area light on a glossy sphere and your reflection will not be sharp, rather it would be fuzzy. thus changing to a self illuminated plane and turning off specular in the area light.

This picture has reflective areas near the eyes and I do not like it. (particularly at the left side of the right eye). What is the best way to get rid of these reflections or specular highlights?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been a faithful photoshop user for quite some time now, but today I got wickedly impressed by this tiny software that features this awesome specular highlighting technique that photoshop does not do by default.This software is called "Art Text 2"H! I had prepared some image links but cause I'm so new I can't put them.[URL]...
As you can see, the bevel reflection is created using the specular information of the "sphere map". Furthermore the program allows you to change the sphere map highlights interactively, and even choose your own image sphere maps. This is just amazing, isn't it? Creating realistic metal text or things is just super easy with this. I think everyone of us has had problems doing realistic metal effects on photoshop, am I wrong?
In Photoshop you have the "bevel and emboss" style feature, and it works pretty well, but it isn't made for say: reflecting a window on the beveled text.Sphere maps are commonly used in gaming to simulate realistic reflection of 3d objects, and I can think of a million ways of using this technique on 2d. way of simulating this sphere map reflection on layers on Photoshop?

How do I make a 4 x 6 picture? I went to resize and converted to inches. i then put in 4 x 6, but it kept popping back to 4 x 4.
I have never used this program before, and I thought it looked easy, but I am evidently not doing something right.
The picture itself looks like a rectangular picture before I pulled it up in Gimp.
When I change the opacity on my text layer, the text does not fade. It disolves instead. The resolution was terrible, became worse and then the text suddenly dissapered.
I don't think it was the disolve type either when it is set in that mode. However,I tried changing the mode anyway
I changed the mode to normal, divide,. overlay, burn, soft light, subtract. Whatever I tried it made no difference.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow to make abstract art on GIMP! They will all look very different, here is a possible outcome:
1. First, open a canvas of any size. I suggest 120x480 for a sig.
2. Now set all of your gradient options to:
Mode: Difference
Gradient Abstract 1
Shape: Linear
3. Now put a gradient across the canvas.
4. Keep on putting these all over.
5. Now change the shape to Radical.
6. Put these gradients over a few times, as before.
7. Now change the mode to Hue, and the shape to Linear.
8. Put these gradients over it again. Keep on doing this until you find a style you like.
You can now add any effects you want to.. these also make great backgrounds for sigs..
The other day I wrote a tutorial for making low-res textures, useful for game art (My use) or for minecraft texture packs.

I have recently discovered that there is more to gradients in GIMP than I had previously thought: the different varieties of pre-sets, as well as the"off-set" tool. How to make a new gradient of your own? Any other cool stuff? (Being able to manipulate gradients would be cool.)

I have made- 1 image with a black line on white background saved as xcf- 1 image with a black letter "A" on white background saved as xcfBoth images are rectangulars. I scaled the height of both images to the same value.
Output should be 1 image - with white background:
- one rectangular consisting of the old 2 rectangulars- area is the sum of the area of the 2 old rectangulars- on left side the "line" image
- on right side the "A" image
- new image can be saved as xcf
Looking for answer in simply consecutive row of commands like:
GIMP > file > open file: image with line > right click on image > image > scale image > ...GIMP > file > open file: image with letter > ...
Is there any way to make a template? Say I have a made to order pair of shorts and want to be able to edit on different types of fabric, is there any way to edit the area on the shorts where I want to put the fabric, so I can do it with various types of fabric without having to spend a great deal of time?
On the same pair of shorts for instance, where the area would be the exact same of editing space I would need from the fabric pattern to edit on, is there any way to make a template of sorts of that space on the shorts to use?
I want to make the picture on the left into the one like the picture on the right. These are not the pictures I will use but are some I got off the web.

how to add refletion to a material. In Cinema 4d I can simply click and reflection and adjust the parameters and i have it, but 3ds max is more complicated and has more things. So i go to "maps", check the box for "reflection", than i have to choose a map. But i want a map that gives me total reflection everywhere, no falloff or things like that. What map do i have to choose?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I somehow managed to add multiple libraries to my material editor. I think I didn't realize they were added so I kept adding them. Now I want to delete them because I'm not using them, and they just get in the way for when I'm trying to get to the default maps.
Here's a screen shot....
I have installed LR4 X64 on a brand new Windows 7 ultimate laptop. I can't see the maps. I have updated to LR4.1 RC still can't see the maps. I have checked the firewall logs and added LR to allowed programs. Still no luck. I have turned the firewall (Windows) off. Still no luck. All other app access the internet OK. Other features in LR can access the internet OK, e.g. ftp to my website. I have searched google and this seems to be a problem for others with the X64 version.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIn gimp I have imported an image. I then duplicate the image four times (I am trying to make four different crops of the same image). But every time I crop one corner of the image, it automatically crops ALL OF THE OTHER DUPLICATES TOO!!!! I have tried just importing the same image four times as individual layers, but that doesn't work either! Why does one layer affect all of them?!
