I was wondering how i could recreate the rough color wheel effect common in those '70's style posters obviously i could use gradient fill but that gives me a smooth transition of colors.
how to make a dollar ($) sign in the "aqua" style found on OSX buttons. I've been able to locate tutorials on how to make the aqua button, but not on how to apply this style to a more complex shape.
how an inner shadow looked on an object on a layer that I could "MERGE" that layer style into that object? In effect, removing the layer style from the LAYERS PALETTE, but not after having incorporated it into the image?
I found a lot of tutorials about sketching in "The Lion King" style, but not about the colours. Now I'm working at it, so I'm looking for advices or links.
I want to ask you, how to create a picture in "The Lion King" style (when I just have a contour ofc).
I'm asking about how to get that type of lines, blending etc., for best in the Photoshop, but it can be also in an other program.
way of creating designs (In my case web page designs) from multiple psd files. At the moment if I want to change say the logo and menu in 30 different designs it requires making the same change to all 30 files.
I'd like to be able to break designs into "include" style chunks so I could simply open up "pagetop.psd", edit the log and menu, save the file and automatically effect the 30 template designs.
Is there anyway of doing this in photoshop or other software?
I'm capturing television frames using a TV capture card, but the resulting images do not have the correct brightness/contrast and color values.
Instead of manually altering every image using trial and error, I'd like to take a "correct" source frame that I know is correctly balanced (such as a test pattern), and use it to correct my other captured images.
I've tried saving the source frame's levels and curves and then loading them into the captured frames, but this doesn't produce quite the effect I'm looking for.
I'm using Adobe Photoshop 9.0 cs2 and I need help with a large color replacement project. I'm an amature video game designer making a level for the classic P.C. game Doom 2 and I'm creating a new weapon and monster for the level I'm creating. For the monster I plan to alter the colors of the frames of the original monster and change the dimensions of key features.
use an indexed color mode that were extracted into individual .png files.
Today I made the big mistake of changing the frames over to RGB mode so I can use the color replacement tools available in that mode. I should have done one frame first then convert it back to indexed color mode because the frames look terrible when converted back from RGB mode. What it is doing is using all the colors of the RGB color spectrum to replace various colors. Unfortunately what this means is that its using colors that are not in the color palette I loaded in the original pic and when I convert it back it looks terrible. There are enough colors in the doom color palette to produce the look I'm after but the automated conversion process from RGB to indexed colors does not pic the best matches in most cases. By doing this I am taking an image consisting of about 150 different shades of color down to about 75 different shades of color. I cant find any color replacement tools for indexed colored images and its going to take me forever to do all frames pixel by pixel so I need one of two things to be able to accomplish what I need. Either a better way of converting these images back, or some tool I can actually use in indexed color mode. If there is a way to select a pixel and change all other pixels of that exact color to a new color then I can just do it pixel by pixel that way. I need something here or I'm going to lose hours of work. If there is a way to load my color table into RGB mode to limit what colors it uses that might work too.
I would just leave the pics in RGB mode if the game im editing for could use that format but unfortunatly anything I convert to RGB will have to be converted back to 256 colors for it to work in the game.
When I open up photoshop cs3 the background color comes up white. I like it when its grey, like in cs2. I know there is a way to change this color in cs2, I just can't remember how. It's some simple shortcut.
I am trying to change the palette of an indexed image without losing the color table indexes. I want to change a bunch of colors at once.
Image->Adjustments->Replace Color (while still indexed) is exactly what I want. And it works, mostly.
The problem is I am trying to select a mask of multiple colors with 0 "fuzziness" so I can adjust their hue/saturation etc.
But, when I go to hold SHIFT to select multiple colors, I get all these other colors that I didn't want included in my mask, despite that fuzziness is set to 0. I tried selecting all colours and subtracting colours and this also fails.
For example, I select ALL colours in the mask by holding shift and picking every colour in the image (there are 24 colours). Then after ALT->clicking 2 colours, it actually deselects ALL 24 colours. I want it to only deselect the exact 2 that I picked.
Magic wand works in this way with 0 tolerance. Why doesn't the mask picker?
I can't convert to RGB->back to indexed because then the color table not match up.
I have a picture i took with my digital camera when i use photoshop to edit the size and everything and then when i wanna save for the web.. the colors come out slightly different.
What exactly does a 2 or 3-color print mean? Is it the number of spot colors (eg, Pantone colors) used for the artwork, or the number of process colors used (C, M, Y and/or K)?
however have never found myself trying to fade a color over another and/ or over writting, i've normally just used a listed color.
If you don't understand what I am talking about, heres an example:
Now here is a crown, with writting and shit... now lets say I wanted to blend the color of the crown OVER the writting and stuff so it was all one color? I've tried the clone tool, mainly because the crown already has partial fades of white.
I have a picture of a cabin on a lake, I want to use this as the flash intro for a website. I would like a mist to cover the picture and then float away, and the water in the lake to "shimmer" or make it look as if it is "moving"...kind of like you were looking at a video clip, not a static picture.
Is this something I would do in any of the creative suite programs? or studio 8 programs? or is it something completely different.
At work, whenever I "save as" a jpg or tif or whatever, it just renames the extension. eg. 'Work.psd' -> 'Work.jpg'. But when I work from home, whenever I "save as" it appends "copy" to the end, which I really hate. eg. 'Work.psd' -> 'Work copy.jpg'. I know this is a trivial matter, but it puts an annoying kink in my workflow having to remove "copy" from the file name during my extremly frequent saves. I've tried to google this, but I'm at wit's end trying to find where the preference is hidden.
when I try to open an existing file or create a new one -- the application will shut down unexpectedly and without warning.But I also experience application errors: 'Instruction at "0x1a3c4b6b" referenced at memory "0x00000028" Memory could not be read.
I'm created a photo of an alien boy being beamed down to someone's house in a cone of bright white light from a flying saucer, and I tried to use the "layer style" to create the glowing light effect in this cone of bright light - but somehow I'm not getting the "glow" effect that I got before. I'm stumped as to what I'm doing wrong/not doing right to produce the glow effect. In other words, the outer/inner glow effect no longer works. Can anyone please help me?
I've got a couple of actions that do various things and then as a last step do a "save as" (without a dialog). They work just fine on MOST images but on just a couple of images when they get to the "save as" step I get a dialog and the "as a copy" box is checked. It happens on the same images every time so it must be something about those particular images but I can't figure out what it is.
I have given a disc of photos to a client that she can't access without launching Photoshop on her Mac. They were scanned by me on an Epson as jpgs, then run through Photoshop (CS1) for touch-up and resaved as jpgs by me. Now I look under "get info" and see that they are all saved as "Photoshop Jpgs". this can be a big problem, as I intend to make a lot of discs for clients in the future. I don't want to have to tell them to use "Open with" every time they want to view a photo.
(using his Mac)... It ended up our logo and I need have to make some changes desperately (to adjust it for printing on shirts/ change the image for embroidery logo, etc.). Despite all my efforts to find out how it was created.
