I am trying to overlap two images but one is really dominating visually and is also really busy. I'd like to 'fog out' the dominating picture without losing a lot of information from it. I think making the colors less vivid would enhance the colors of the other image, but maybe there's more I can do? The images are biological and I am working on a potential scientific journal cover page, so I can't just remove things or distort to the point where it is cartoonish. I know nothing about image processing, so I feel like I'm probably complete unaware of simple methods that could do amazing things I was unaware of above and beyond just toning down contrast or saturation.
As an old scholar (been using PShop since Beta 1.0) I have never been a fan of tabs -esp as I often drag/compare elements from multiple files. In CS6 I see some inconsistent behavior with palettes. The active file can now obscure the toolbar and the palettes docked at far right. Strangely, other palettes (not docked) remain visible above the image.
The same occurs with other open files, so that I can have the tool bar blocked by files I'm not even working on. I have set my workspace to mimic CS5 as I'm not fond of the newer interface. This odd overlap impacts my workflow, as it takes time to maneuver the various image frames so as not to obscure palettes. Is this SOP, a bug, or is there a prefs setting that I broke? (see attached image).
Texturing an .obj file with multiple maps keeps getting overlap when I paint on the figure.
I am very new to 3D Painting in Photoshop but I am nominally knowledgeable of Photoshop in general for 2D work. I exported the Genesis figure from DAZ Studio into an .obj file and painted on it in Photoshop 5.5.
When I paint on his face, other marks show up on his torso and thigh and eyes, even. It is like all of the diffuse maps are "stacked upon one another" (though not in layers, just one one layer.)
I find that as long as I do not lift the pen off the tablet I can overlap strokes without changing the value of the strokes I've already made. However, once I lift the pen off the tablet and try to continue my work, inevitably I end up going over some of the previous strokes, and where the strokes overlap, the value of the paint doubles, creating a nasty blotchy effect.
I’ve been looking for over 2 hours now how to do this and I’m still no better off, however I have learnt a few tips here and there,so I’m totally new to gfx stuff but i know how to make an image transparent.
i want the logo on the image but i dont understand how too?? ( with out getting all the grey and white boxes (around the logo on the greenhouse pic which goes white once i save it) i want the image background to still be there.
Can I overlap clips without a transition? Here's what I'm trying to do (VS Pro X3) - I have about 30 clips that I'm putting together. All of the clips need trimming at both ends. With Sony Vegas 9, I only had to trim the beginning of each clip because then I could overlap the clips to "trim" the END of each clip (the clip previous to the overlapping clip). It appears to me that with VS Pro X3 I have to trim both ends of each clip and then put them all together end-to-end because when I overlap them, the overlapping clip doesn't actually overlap the previous clip on the timeline, but both clips transition into one another. What I want is for the overlapping clip to truly overlap the previous clip, effectively ending that clip at the point of overlap. If I don't want transitions, must I trim all clips on both ends and put them together with no overlaps?
And BTW I don't use my Sony Vegas 9 (Platinum Pro Pack) any more because the program has a bug that makes mp4 rendering impossible, and other renders very sketchy.
I have a GIS parcel file that I have connected to. The file works fine, but when I change the linetype from continuous to a center or dash-dot linetype I have trouble. The parcels are all closed polygons so everywhere the parcels touch, the parcel lines overlap and the linetype is very disjointed. Instead of looking like a "center" line, it looks like a solid line with a radom gap here and there.
I am currently working on a very simple illustrator project and I have run into the following issue.
In the image below, there is an object with a green fill and semi-transparent stroke. Another stroke (Also semi transparent) is overlapping the first stroke a bit and, as one would expect, the two objects appear darker where they overlap.
Is there any way to prevent this? Basically, I have two stroked objects that share a border in a small area and where they overlap, the strokes are darker due to the semi-transparency. Is there a way to keep the overlapping part one uniform color?
Unless I am mistaken, there is no way to have one point have 2 lines coming off of it. If there is, I could make one stroke for both objects... If not, I need to find a way to have the overlapping area look as if it has one stroke, not two. Or get the stoke onto it's own layer...
Is there a way to draw a single line so that it appears to overlap like in the example below (right), instead of appearing to merge like it is doing as circled in red (left)?
I am using Adobe Illustrator CS6. I would like to know if I should match the edges of objects or overlap the edges? What is the best practice for printing?
I have an object that I applied Gaussian blur to and it extends the boundaries. It is on top of a tan object, I need to "shave" the excess blur off to make it a clean and line up with my tan object. What is the most efficient way to this. In PS I would creat a selection around the tan object, then invert the selection and hit delete on the blur layer. what is the equivalent to that in AI?
I just got an Intuos5 and I'm not very experienced with the Photoshop settings regarding tablet usage. I want to replicate the effect of drawing on paper with a marker, without lifting my pen. If you go back and forth over the same spot 15 times on a piece of paper with a marker without (lifting the marker), that spot will be much darker than if you make one stroke. I understand that in Photoshop I can lift my pen off the tablet and do the same stroke 15 times, but logistically, that just doesn't work with the way I draw.
Basically, I'm wondering if there's a way to make it so opacity is purely dependent on how many times a certain spot is covered WITHOUT LIFTING MY PEN.I know there are controls to switch brush opacity to coincide with pen pressure, but I don't want to destroy my new tablet by carving into it to have a pure black stroke.
To demonstrate what I mean by this, here's an extremely crude example in which the left represents how photoshop works for me now, versus how I'd like it to work. Notice how going over the same spot within the same stroke, those intersections are darkened.
On timeline, when I overlap ends of 2 video clips, I do not get a crossfade, as in X2, but only "random" transitions. A crossfade is not even listed as a default choice under preferences.
Check out the first 45 seconds of this video to get an idea of what I'm asking about:
I'd like to do as she did when listing off the items that will be needed. Rather than stringing video clips together of each item by itself, I want it to have the same look--to have each item appear one after the other. To me, it looks like each clip of each item was layered on top of the original video of the first pair of leggings.
I've drawn the letter "S" in fancy script with the pen tool (vectors) but where the vectors overlap, it's transparent. Is there a way to have this section filled in? I'm using Photoshop 7.
I am trying to find the best way to make the wall/roof shown below. I have experimented with the normal route of using walls and roofs with no luck, then I tried a conceptual mass, then I tried model in place component which is how I made the model below and that worked to get the exterior form I need, but I cant void the interior part of the crossing forms so I can finish the floor plan on the interior. I need to somehow erase the portion of the two buildings where they overlap so I dont have the interior wall of the smaller building. I use revit architecture 2010.
I have the profiles grid to display as my company has displayed them for several years and it worked perfect in 2009. Then we switched to 2011 and now the grid is overlapping back on itself (see attached).
I am working with my reseller and I have done everything that I can think of to get this to not show with no luck. This needs to be fixed by Autodesk in my opinion since we pay for the product to work and it did before. This is apparently an issue in 2012 as well.
I have a drawing with a lot of lines, already, in autocad. Now I want to add tags to the drawing. Meaning, I create a shape, a rectangle and put some words in it. Now I want to paste the rectangle tag with the words over my many lines drawing. But I want whatever lines that gets into the rectange frame to get overlapped by black space in the rectangle.
Its like pasting a sticker tag over my drawing. (what command to type )
I'm thinking that AutoCAD has no such feature, but I'll ask just to make sure.
What I am doing is mapping points which each have a simple point number label. (asbestos load buried in landfill in case you are curious) There are many points which have the same coordinates (up to 20 points sometimes). So, then I have to drag each label individually until all labels are visible.This take a ridiculous amount of time when you are talking about 1000+ points.
I have a layer with 3 objects. (this is not a font).The S, E and the XY are unique objects, and i wanted to apply two strokes to it. First a black stroke and then a blue one.
My issue here is that the strokes at the red marked points are overlapping to other objects.
Is there a possibility that the strokes don't overlap into the other objects? can i somehow "merge" the 3 objects to one so the overlapping doesn't occur?
I am recently getting back into using Illustrator.
I am trying to draw 2 shapes, let's say 2 circles, fill them w/colors, then have them overlap each other.
The part where they overlap creates a DIFFERENT shape. I want to fill that 3rd shapew/a different color. How do I select that 3rd shape area and fill out?
In CS5 I use Photomerge to produce a panorama. However, how do I create a panorama where there is inadquate overlap between the individual images. CS5 does not have an Interactive layout option permit the movement of images which would then click together. There must a way, only I don't know it. Also in Photomerge if a particular lay option does not work how can I quickly try a different layout option without closing down Photomerge and then opening it up again?
