I'd like to create a trail of pixie dust (a la Tinkerbell).Is there a tutorial somewhere for that, maybe labeled something other than pixie dust? I tried searching for magic, stars, star dust...and just couldn't find anything. How to create something like this?
I took a photograph of my daughter lying on a white sheet against a black background, however there were a noticable fragments of dust in the background which has spoiled the photograph.
I would really appreciate it if someone could remove the dust for me, there isn't that much and it will only take a couple of minutes for an experienced Photoshop user.
I need to get this sent asap to a printers so they can print it onto canvas for me, for my daughters great grandmothers 90th birthday.
Using the 64-bit extended CS6 version under Win 8/64. Am I not using the filter correctly, or is this a limitation regarding its use?
I duplicate a layer and apply the filter. I then add a white mask and invert it to get black. I change the layer blending mode to either darken or lighten, depending on the requirements at hand. I use the paint brush to remove the spotting and it works. However, if I add a new layer and then go back to the Dust and Scratches layer, the paint brush further modify the layer. I need to create a new layer and start all over again.
I am finding that if I convert the layer for smart filter use, I cannot use the paint brush. The layer needs to be rasterized, again.
i use imac i7,8GB,lion. I cannot remember how i learned to do a type of dust/spot remove for large areas. The heeling brush or stamp tool were not used in this technique.
It seems that the rectangular marque tool was used to select an area in the problem layer, a large background area, for example. The selection was then jumped to a new layer. Somehow one could use the arrow keys to move the selection a few pixels. At this point i cannot remember what to do.
I think that the move tool was employed and the arrow keys used to move the selection a few pixels such that the spots were covered by nearby, unspotted areas. Havent done this in years and can't make it work. I have thousands of old black & white photos, and some color, to repair and retouch.
I would like to learn how to get this golden skin tone exactly like this magazine cover (see link below). I tried to do the same blending the skin with the gold texture but I failed. The result was a quite weird and too yellow. There are any person that know how to do this?[URL]...
I'm newbie in graphics, so the problem is: I've got an image (495*500) of not perfect quality. I need to make it ~ twice bigger and take off this ****, that appears, when the image is larger - pixel dirt, dust, noise, blur, bad color and other crap .....
the shortcut I use for dust and scratches filter, command, option, shift, control, D, just wont stick. other shortcut I use for other filters stay, but this one keep going away.
I have just taken a 1000 shot series of images for a timelapse sequence. They all have a dust spot on them which is particularly annoying as I cleaned the sensor and thought it had been cleared!
Anyway, is there a way of batching a spot removal? Can I remove it on one, and then copy Develop Settings or Sync across the rest?
I'm trying to create a Blurb book using LR4.2. I'm running into problems laying out the dust jacket. All my pages are full bleed but I don't know the full bleed pixel dimensions are for the dust jacket (standard landscape 10" x 8"). I'm using the layout where one image covers all of the flaps, covers and spine. I would need the pixel height plus the pixel widths for the flaps, covers, and spine.
I am running Photoshop CS6 with all updates on a Windows 8 system. I have several keyboard shortcuts set up that all work fine but when I assign a keyboard shortcut for the dust & scratches filter it will work until I close Photoshop - when I then open Photoshop again this shortcut is gone but all my other shortcuts remain.
I have tried going back to the default keyboard shortcuts and then adding just the shortcut for dust & scratches (I have tried ctrl-F8 and several others) and then closing Photoshop and opening it again with the same results. I was able to add back all of my other shortcuts and they work fine.
For some reason I can assign a keyboard shortcut to anything except the dust & scratches filter.
I have some 3x5 glossy photos taken from about ten years ago. They are no longer in the best condition, and have dust specs and superficial scratches on them. Recently, I decided to scan them and was less-than-happy with the result.
For example, one of the photo's is of me and my friend against a blue-ish wall behind us. The entire scanned image, though, is covered in little white specs. I have black hair, but it looks almost as if i have dandruff lol. even the blue background has a bunch of little white speckles
I was wondering if there was a tool or filter or other way to remove some of the small white specs from the picture.
when I select an area of a photo and attempt to use the 'dust and scratches' filter, Elements 11 jumps to the 'Hand Tool' and locks up. This is on a Windows 8 machine.
PSE10 using Windows 7 64bit system. When I use the Dust and Scratch filter, I can see the improvement in the photo (or the inset) , but when I click OK, it goes back to the way it was. This happens whether I use "Preview" or not.
best way to achieve the effect of those old style comic strip paint dots. Where the colors are represented by small dots and the sizes of the dots determine the amount of fade. Is there a filter than can achieve this effect?
Trying to follow tutorials to create text. They all say to choose type (vector, floating, or selection) from the box on the text toolbar. I have been over it with a microscope and can't find it. I have expanded all arrow flyouts - nothing.
I have some photos that might look good as a tryptich or "broken-up" into even more components of equal size and then framed separately. Is there a relatively easy way to do this with PSP X5? I saw a youtube tutorial on doing this in Photoshop that included overlaying some guide lines over the image and then repeatedly cropping and saving the resulting image.
I haven't found the right tool to do this in X5, though I assume such a thing exists. And I'm not sure how to describe the thing to file search. I've tried freehand cropping, but it is pretty inexact. Is there a way to get a more accurate sizing?
Also to those who have done this before. How important is accurate sizing of the component images? Is "close - enough" good enough? I keep wishing there was a wizard available where I could specify the number of rows and columns a photo could be broken up into and then have the wizard do the cropping and auto saving of the resulting image.
I have an HP Pavilion dv7 laptop with preinstalled PS Photo Pro X3, so no CD/DVD. I need to reformat my hard drive to make it dual boot Win/Mac but I would then like to reinstall PSP X3. Is it possible to create installable CDs/DVDs from the preinstalled (or downloaded?) version? If it's not possible, am I entitled to CDs/DVDs from Corel, or can I download and use my current serial number/registration info to activate the product?
So I want to to create an animated header like the one on the link below. I would prefer to use Paint.Net but I also have Photoshop if necessary. So my question is what would be the best route for creating this effect without the use of flash? (I expect that there is going to have to be code thats going to go into my website for this to happen whether that be html or javascript)
What is the best way to create an angelic halo effect around a person's head. Any differences if you would want to make it look a little bit like the sun? (but more like a halo)?
I must be using the wrong terms or words. I NEED to make a wedding seating chart (yup, my wedding) and this is what I am trying to do. I have a picture that I want to use and I want to have about 18 or 20 pictures surrounding the main picture. Then I need to be able to type in names alphabetically with their table number....
I then need to be able to have the picture printed poster size. I am trying to use the layers but the layered pic covers like half the main picture.
I have watched a tutorial video about creating "Text Chrome" on youtube. I need to create a 128 x 128 flat surface chrome, high gloss texture.
I want to put this texture in my CAD program as a bmp. Is there a particular plug in I need to do this? Using version 3.5.10 and XP.In the said video, some commands were shown that I do not currently have.
I'm trying to create a skybox (basically, a giant hollow cube that goes around a map to give the impression of a sky) for a game.
However, I don't know how to create a good sky and such that fits within the template and looks smooth all around.
Basically, the template is as follows: (note: this isn't actually the template. Each side is uploaded individually. The template is to show the wrapping.)
So how would I create a good, realistic sky that wouldn't look messed up at the corners or not matching up at the top or such?
I am looking for a way to correctly make or modify a Windows 7 Start Orb (ex: [URL]......
When I do it simply, appears a black square when I click on the Start button. All instructions on this topic are made for Photoshop, or Gimp, but not for Paint.Net
Here is one of my own, which does not work [URL].....
