I'm using CS3 with a new computer and a 17in crt monitor. I set the monitor resolution via windows to 1280x1024. Made a 4 in square in Photoshop. It's square. When I change the resolution to anything less than 1280x1024 the square is taller than wide. It still shows 4x4 inches with the rulers.
I used the free select tool to free select an area of an image that is not a square (odd shape), how do I make that selection a perfect square if pasted to new image or new layer??? rectangular would be fine too...
what the square on the thumbnail is? When I double click on the thumbnail it takes me to the color picker and allows me to change the color of the layer.
I need a square around a certain part of my whole image the size of 177px by 25px. I tried using the Fixed Size property but it's not working the way I need it to. How do I make a square marquee section on my image and inlarge the width without moving the whole marquee while using the arrow keys?
I am trying to make a transparent sqaure with no fill. Just a square with outlines and empty in the middle. The outlines can be 1px or 2px in width and black. Every time I do the no fill it seems that the square is there but when I plug it in as an image it is completely invisible no outlines nothing.
Making a circular wave on a water texture is just by applying a zigzag/twirl/radial blur filter. How do I make a square wave then? Like dropping a plank of wood or something rectangle on to a pond.
i have multiple images that are not square and i need to make them square. i do not want to crop or loose any detail from the images.
how can i square up images without cropping. This is not a straight edge issue the pictures were taken of a square or rectangle objects but couldn't be taken square on.
I am trying to take an image of a tomato, such as: and make it square. Not just cut the edges, but to make it square, or any other shape, like octagon, heart shape or any other free shape I want.
how do i draw a square or circle where the line of the object is a certain color, as opposed to the 'fill' or inside of the object.
also is there a way to determine the exact size of a shape before drawing it ie - i want to draw a square of certain mesaurements using the rectangle tool.
i found a way to make the eraser tool a square so that i could erase by pixels. Is there a way to do this to the brush tool? (I also would like to know how to do this for the eraser because i forgot how.)
I just got Nik's HRD Efex Pro2 and I'm having trouble with it. System is iMac running OSX 10.8.3 with 12Gb RAM. When I come back to PS CS6 from HDR Efex using either a Fuji X-E1 or Nikon D800 RAW file, the effect is properly rendered but there is a big black (or sometimes white) box somewhere on the image. Once this happens, all subsequent images loaded have the same or similar defects and the only way to get rid of it is to shut down PS and restart.
When I save the file despite the apparent defect and then look at it in LR4, the saved image is fine so it appears to have something to do with how PS is rendering the image on screen. I called Nik and they said it was a memory problem (a leak) in PS CS 5 and 6. I suppose that is predictable. Nik suggested reducing the size of the available RAM (I'm now at 56% down from 69% which is in the "ideal" range) and changing my Drawing Mode from "advanced" to "basic". Didn't work.
How I can cut a circle from a square image so that the circle is cut from the exact middle of the square? I use the Elliptical Marquee Tool (M) and drag outwards from the approximate middle of the square (Holding Shift and ALT) but after doing so the transform buttons are greyed out.
So then, how can I position the "circle selection" to the exact center of the square? A few pixels out in any direction will not suffice. I'm using CS6.
I have the following psd file which my designer provided for me:
It's made up of all layers and smart objects and all stuff I have no clue about it. I need to make it so only the bubble is isolated, and everything else is eliminated (i.e. the character and the three bubbles going from his head are gone). Cropping almost works, but as you can see at the bottom the bubble if I try to do a rectangular crop it will catch some of the characters head and the three bubbles.
I found a script online that turns my images into a square (by extending the canvas size of the short side to match the length of the long side) which is awesome, but I would like to do an additional step.now that my images are square I want to set a maximum dimension of 2500x2500 px, i have found scripts to set a resolution to a specific size but what I want to make sure I avoid is upsampling, so I just want any image larger than 2500x2500 px to down sample to 2500x2500 px.
I have the same problem that I have seen others having.When I click inside the image, it gives me a tiny square instead of a vertical bar.I tried to and did resize the image to 1024 by 772 and 72 ppi.
I have this image of a piece of bread. As you can see there is white area around the bread. I want to get rid of this (i.e. crop it out) so that when I import it into another program (mainly After Effects) all that can be seen is the bread and no white space on the outside. Is there a way to do this?
Every time I create a new document, no matter what dimensions I put, it always makes it a square. Just tonight it has. I've been using the program for almost a year now and haven't had this issue at all.
I don't think I messed with any settings or anything. I read somewhere that it might have to do with the Pixel Aspect Ratio or something, but I've been trying different things with that and it hasn't worked. I'm on Mac OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion running Photoshop CS5.
I would like to do the stroke around the object like the photo below (the 1st one); there's the square corner stroke around the dress. How can i do this type of stroke? Can it be created in Photoshop CS6?
Currently i can only do the stroke that in-line to the object like the 2nd photo, but i would like to change the style to be corner-liked style.
I'm trying to find a simple way to make a border around an image, but with square corners. Stroke does what I want it to, but I want the border on the outside and the corners square, not round- which is what I get when I use stroke on the outside.
Can anyone suggest any efficient means of blending square edges of an image into the background layer? I've attached a sample pic. I'd like to blend the edges/corners so that they fade into the background.
This maybe a basic question, i'm new, i don't really know. I want to make a picture, just a small symbol, to put in the corner or movies i make. Just like on TV, how CBS has the eye in the bottom right corner, or NBC has their little peacock guy.
How do you make a picture like that?
I try to put the image i want, and have it with almost 0% opacity, and it looks fine in photoshop, but then when i look at it out of photoshop, the background is white, and sticks out alot.
I really just want the image, no background, and preferably i do not want it to be a square or rectangle.
how do i make it so it is barely visible, and with no white square around it in the background?
The problem I'm having is when I use either the square selection tool or when I Control+Click on a layer and expand the selection (square or rectangle) the corners get cut at a 45 degree. I'm using PS7 and it is also doing it on CS2 also. A Graphic Artist friend of mine tried it on his computer (CS2) and it does the same thing. I thought for sure I've done this before without the cut corners.
For a web page, website, whatever you want to call it, this is what I'm trying to figure out. I want to be able to make a shape of anything, like a square, and inside that square add a picture of something. I want to be able to move that picture anywhere inside that square, without it coming outside, showing only a portion of the picture.
