I am in need of an efficient method of changing an object within a photo to a standard colour without losing the shading and highlights. I am aware of the lasso selection tool but I have to do this process on potentially thousands of photos so need (in my perfect world) either an automated process or ( in a less perfect world) a process that takes only seconds per photo.

Say I have a bunch of pictures, and I want to place each of them on a certain (bigger) background, is there a way to do this in an efficient manner instead of opening up each photo and manually putting it on the background and then saving them individually?
So for example, I have a bunch of pictures taken and they're say, 100x100. And I have this background that's say 150x150 and I want to have each photo with the background behind it. Is there any way I can do this efficiently? Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP SP3.
Why combine objects together cut bottom side of combined objects?

I've got lots of pages of B&W scanned images that are not quite centered. My usual method for centering them would be:
1. Open image.
2. Ctrl + Shift + N to create a new layer.
3. Select the Paint Bucket tool and fill the new layer with white.
4. Move the new layer down using the arrow button on the Layers window.
5. Select the top layer again by clicking on the Layers window.
6. Select the Move Pixels tool and drag the image until it visually looks centered.
7. Ctrl + M to merge layers down.
8. Save.
Is there any smarter, faster, fewer clicks way of accomplishing this? Is there any way of programming this so I don't have to visually center each page?(Also, I usually have to close and reopen paint.net after about 10 pages because the program isn't freeing all memory when files are closed.)
There are a few things i wanted to ask since i don't really find anything relevant to what i'm looking for.
1) Is there a simple and efficient way of applying a texture to a selection (minus alpha of course)? There is a plugin here that claims to do just that, but how to use it or it isn't working properly.
2) I sometimes want to color specific portions of an image that isn't layered, and if there are outlines, it only gets harder. Any tips about that or perhaps some plugin that can pick out a specific color range of pixels from my selection?
3) There is a plugin called Drop Shadow or something. It is really useful and well done, i'll give the author that, but it would also be better if there was an option to dump the shadow in a new layer below the current to allow easier manipulation later on. The current workaround is generating the shadow without the original image, copying, tracing the steps back and pasting in a new layer.
So there are for now. Oh, and one last thing: is a new version or at least an update coming out anytime soon? It's been a long while since i saw any changes.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI found that Photopaint X6.1 is very unstable when i'm trying to move objects down or up.
Bad news is that its happening after longer period of work like around hour or more, designs with hundred or more objects.
90% of "not responding" errors are caused by moving objects down or up.
With X6 64bit I learned to save files more often than in previous versions.

combine all objects together in group (you are selecting group and then use combine objects together)
should make:
1. Group with one combined object.
2. One combined object with group name.
In my opinion after such operation as result should be one object not group.
Is it useful to have group after or you prefer object like me?

I have overlaid star shapes on a colored background, so that you can see the colors inside the star shapes as well as outside the lines of the star shape. the shapes are outlined in a black border. Is there a way I can delete the background (cut out multiple stars) on one sheet and have a white background with the colors still inside the stars?

Now I have to remember to make vector objects big enough to avoid pasting them too small in photopaint.
99% of photostock vector files are too small to copy/paste them without resizing.
As webdesigner I can tell that old version of "paste" had better functionality .

If you have several objects grouped, and then you combine them all on a single object, the resulting object is placed inside the same group. This seems bogus, since is not possible to create a group of a single object.
Test case:Create 4 rectangles.Select them all and group them (ctrl+g)Select the group and combine all objects (ctrl+alt+dnarrow)
What I expect:A single object floating on the canvas
What I get:The same group but with a single object inside.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI am trying to change the background of a photo. Not just change the color but change the color AND make it keep it's original shading, etc. I have some family photos we had made recently and they used a beige color draping for the background. The ones we had made before had a black draping. I was wondering how I could go about using some sort of additive coloring to transform the varying shades of beige to the same varying shades of black.
I have already used the masking tool to separate the background from the rest of the photo.
I have two photos, shooted probably the same day, by the same photograph in the same place !But the pose is a bit different.

can i "copy" all the colors from the color-one to the b&w one ?

Is there an easy way to do color tints on a photo in PhotoPAINT? And by that I don't mean just correcting the tint, I mean converting a regular photo into one that has a single color tint (e.g., yellow, red, etc.). I've tried graying it out and then adding a transparent color layer over it, but I'm not getting the result I'm looking for.
Also, while I'm at it, are there any (current) books out that cover PhotoPAINT in depth? I know that the official DRAW book has a section on it, but it's pretty basic.
