Using CS4. I used the blob paint tool to make a tree. I now want to use a text to cut out of the tree. I have tried creating outlines on the text and using all of the pathfinder tools to no success. I have also tried using the compound path method and that has not worked either. Is there something I have to do to the tree in addition to what I have done to the text?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to write a 'duplicateLayer' function, and I've read all the related posts on these forums. It seems most of the responses have only addressed art inside a layer, and not nested layers/groups. I need to be able to duplicate ALL items in a layer.
I can get the sub-layers, but I can't figure out how to preserve order of the items in the new layer. For example, if my layer looks like this:
layer 1
art 1
art 2
sub layer 1
sub art 1
art 3
I can call layer.pageItems to get my three art objects and duplicate them, and I can call layer.layers to get my one sub layer and duplicate it. But how do I preserve the same order of the art objects and sub layers with respect to each other?
When you centrally allign text horizontally and vertically in a text box, the text sits slightly high of the centre. Is there any way of setting an action or setting to deal with this rather than adjusting by eye every time?

I have this photo of a tree in the forground, with a house behind it. I want to remove the house from the photo, would it be easier to select the tree and put it on a different layer or select the house and remove it. ? What is the best way to select a tree like this? I have read that the pen tool is not the correct way to select trees and leaves.

View 2 Replies View Related1. I'm not very satisfied with the snow in the trees, i've tried many filters and finally used "replace color" on the greenish parts of the trees with luminosity at 100%. I've compared with real snow covered trees and they are completely white, i guess that i should somehow "paint" them but i don't know a lot about how to achieve a realistic snow effect with the brushes (without degrading too much the original trees either...)
2. The icy sea is taken from another photo i found on the web (probably antarctica). It seemed to blend nicely when i was working on the retouching but when i opened the project 2 days later i thought that the colors of the two photos didn't blend *that* nicely Is there a "scientific" way to harmonize the colors of two photos, so that they can fit well together? (i'm prepared to hear that there's no recipe for that!)
(seemed to me that the blending of colors is top priority but perhaps something else is jumping even more at your eyes).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI used ReconstructMe to scan a botanical tree (with a few of trunks and leaves). The result I got is a 3d mesh botanical tree. I open them in 3dsmax. Now I want to add the motion to each leaf and trunk. I am beginner in 3dsmax.
By the way, I think all the trunks and leaves are considered as one object. Do I need to break them seperately and add animation to each of them?
I read some tutorial for character animation, which use biped or skining. However, they are used for human, aren't they? I wonder if I could apply biped/skining for botanical tree since their structure are different.

PS CS6 and Win7/64...We just finished shooting a 3 day conference for 600 people, that involved many break-out sessions. Our folder tree of all the finished TIFFs is organized by day, then by topic, and then by break out. All in all there are 75 folders in the tree, with close to 700 TIFFs.
The client wants both hi-res and lo-res JPGs (not the TIFFs).I have a very simple droplet that will convert a TIFF to JPG, but works only on a given folder, and outputs to a generic folder (so I have to copy these back).
Is there a way to create a droplet that will
(a) walk the source tree and convert the TIFFs of each folder to JPG, as well as
(b) Have PS create a matching tree to deposit the JPGs into the corresponding folders?
I know there's an option to include all folders when doing the conversion, but (b) is the critical element so I don't have to do this in a folder-by-folder basis.
I want to know how we create this background effect on trees?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to read the xref tree from a DWG by using an external exe. The app should simply open the DWG and sys-out the referenced paths and whether or not they are nested. For this, I am using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop. The problem is that I can only get a list of file dependencies (document.FileDependencies) and I can't seem to find an "isNested" value.
So far I've got:
AcadDocument document = oAcadApp.Documents.Open("Test.dwg");
foreach (AcadFileDependency o in document.FileDependencies)
{
System.Console.Out.WriteLine(o.FullFileName);
}
There is also the option to get Blocks, but again there is no "isNested" info, only "isXref":
foreach (AcadBlock b in document.Database.Blocks)
{
if (b.IsXRef)
{
...doStuff...
}
}

1) i have to deal with images of various sizes. What do I need to do to be able to have everyone's head cut out in an exact circle such that I can move them all around and they are the same size? I tried using the marquee tool but it made a different circle each time, more of an ellipse (hence the name of the tool I suppose).
2) does anyone know where I can get a picture of a tree that I can attach everyone's head to? how do I use that as my background? is that the same as adding a layer and having it as the bottom layer?

Gimp 2.8.4. I don't know the version of Synthesizer.
I am using Lightroom 4.3 on Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1).
I am unable to import files from an NFS-mounted directory because the folders lack rocker nodes, so I can't navigate through the tree to my existing Photos directory. It isn't practical or desirable to import the entire NFS filesystem.
I originally had the filesystem mounted with these options:
freenas:/mnt/vol_home/nfs_home on /Volumes/home (nfs, nodev, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse)
And while I can see the root of the filesystem in the left side of the import window, and while the directories have little folder icons next to them, the little triangular rockers next to them are greyed out. If I picked a directory, and checked "include subfolders", then Lightroom would recurse through the tree and show me all of the pictures. But I don't want to import my entire filesystem. I need to navigate down the tree to my photo directory, but the rockers are "greyed out". It's difficult to see them greyed out when the background is grey too, but they are there, faint as they are.
So, I thought maybe the "nobrowse" option had something to do with the inability to navigate. I used "NFS Utility" to remove the "nobrowse"option, and remounted the filesystem. It is now mounted with these options:
freenas:/mnt/vol_home/nfs_home on /Volumes/home (nfs, nodev, nosuid, noatime)
And while I can see the root of the filesystem in the left side of the import window, and while the directories have little folder icons next to them, [most of] the rockers next to them are still greyed out. Here is a screenshot of the import window, alongside a Finder window, which of course lets me open the rockers and navigate just fine. The fact that Finder works implies to me that it isn't a permissions problem. Of course I can also "cd" using the terminal commandline. The navigation problem appears to be limited to the Lightroom application.
only the "rbrown" folder has a working rocker. The other rockers are greyed out (which is really difficult to see). I need to navigate below "rbrown", but cannot. Finder can open the "family" rocker, and can open the subfolders under "rbrown" just fine.
Why does lightroom refuse to let me open these folders?
