Photoshop :: Adding Text Layer To An Image & Trying...

Jul 14, 2009

I am trying to add a simple text layer to some relatively small JPEG files - each file is only about 3 or 4 MB in size before any editing or additions are made to the files. I am using P-shop CS2 on a PC with Windows XP SP2.When I add a few lines of simple text (with no special effects) to any of these files and attempt to save the edited file as a .TIFF or .PSD file with the text as its own layer in the file - the resulting .TIFF or .PSD file is a 30 or 35 MB file which is hard to work with because of its size. These files have only two layers in them - the text layer and the base image. It just does not seem logical that a simple text layer would make a file increase in size by 10 times.

I would like to try to save the edited image files as .TIFF or .PSD so that I can go back and make future edits to the text layer.I have tried to save the edited file with the text layer as a .zip file but these files are also still very large - 20 MB or so.Maybe I have some basic file settings wrong that are making the files so large? Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can add a simple text layer to a relatively small image file, save it as a .TIFF or .PSD file and keep the resulting file size manageable?

Photoshop :: Adding Layer And Part Of Layer Blend Into Background

Jun 2, 2013

this is my problem:

Pic 1. I have an image I want to use as a background, however the image is not complete. I need a part of pic 2 to fullfill it.

Pic 2. The colors around the object doesn't match the colors of Pic 1.

Normally it would be best to cut the object out. However in this case it wouldn't look nice (the object is mixed out (in color) with the rest of the image). If I cut out something the object won't look "proper".

My question:

How can I blend pic 2 on pic 1, using the original object from pic 2 (as it is), and at the same time blend the colors around it, so that it matches that of pic 1 / or simply remove it somehow?

Photoshop :: Adding Many Layer Styles At Once

Jan 29, 2009

I added the styles into the /Presets/Styles directory. I can see the text list on the top right in my syles icons.

However, the newly moved styles do not show up as a thumbnail unless I click on the text of the name.

Is there an easy way to mass import the 300+ ASL files I have?

Photoshop :: Adding Some Color To A Multiply Layer

May 1, 2006

I'd like to add some color to the outlines in the attachment. Right now they have some white background to them so I've got the blend mode set to multiply which works great since they're greyscale. I've tried duplicating one of the channels and creating a selection and/or layer mask from it with not much luck. I tried setting a layer mask and then filling the whole layer with the color I want but it didn't show up at all. I also tried filling the selection with the color I want which worked ok except the layer still has a bunch of white and if I leave the blend mode at multiply the color doesn't show up well.

Photoshop :: Adding Info About Status As Text Layer?

Sep 21, 2012

n my Image i have several layers, and two adjustment-layers for manipulating hue/saturation of parts of certain layers. Think something like having a picture of a person, and having the adjustment-layers to change the persons pants and shirt independently. So you can easily make color-variations of what the person wears, and save them, e.g. as jpg.

What I want is to add a little textarea which ends up on each jpg (not meta-data, I mean readable in a corner on the actual image), that gives me the color-values from the adjustment layers that were used to create that very image. So at a later time when I have one of my jpgs and it hits me that this exact color-combination is perfekt I can recreate it easily. Of course I could do it by hand, but is there a way to automate it, using text-variables linked to the hue/saturation-layers?

Photoshop :: Cannot Adjust Levels After Adding Noise To A Layer?

Aug 29, 2012

I'm having trouble adjusting the levels on a layer after I've previously added noise to it. Basically I'm trying to add a simple snowstorm effect to a painting I'm currently working on.

The way I normally do is: create a new layer, then fill it with solid black, after that I go to filters>noise>add noise, then I add about 150% noise and check monochromatic, press ok, after that I go to image>adjustments>levels and adjust it so it leaves only a few white spots and then I press ok, but this time nothing happens after I press ok in the levels window and the image stays the same.

here's the system info:

Photoshop :: Adding Points To Curves Adjustment Layer In CS6 Broken?

Nov 6, 2013

In CS3, CS4 and CS5 I was able to:

(a) add a point (corresponding to the position of the Eyedropper Tool on the image) to the RGB composite curve by Control + Clicking; and

(b) add a point (whilst focused on the RGB composite curve) to each of the Red, Green and Blue channel curves by Control + Shift + Clicking.

Neither approach seems to work in my CS6 (PsCs6 x64 latest update, on Win 7x64).

AutoCad :: Adding XREF As A Layer?

Nov 17, 2011

I have a drawing of a floor plan, and on a separate drawing I have text that I need to add to the floor plan drawing.

I've used the XREF command and positioned it exactly where it needs to go, but I can't edit the text drawing unless I "Open XREF in place"

I got close by going to the XREF dialog and "Binding.." the drawing as an INSERT and now it's one huge block.

I'm trying to insert the drawing with the text on the drawing with the floor plan so it's one drawing and so I can edit the text or move things around if I need to.

Photoshop :: Adding Space To Image

Jan 21, 2013

I'm making an image that I want to have 5 different scales of. The scales are: 128x128, 64x64, 48x48, 32x32, 16x16. You guessed it, I'm making a favicon with multiple layers.

I create a canvas size 128x128 to start. Then I add my image to the canvas. I want the image to be transparent, so I remove the background by moving it up to layer 0 and deleting it. Now I hit (CTR + J) to create a copy of this layer to resize to a 64x64. The problem I have is when I copy the image it only copies the image and not the entire layer canvas size.the logo is about 126x90 so that’s what it copies. I need to make this image the entire 128x128, without losing transparency. Essentially what I am asking is can I add the extra 1 px to the width and 38 px to the height without actually changing the visual of the logo?

Photoshop :: Adding A Few Effects To An Image?

Jun 8, 2006

I am looking to do is add a few effects.

how to do for the life of me is make the phone look skinny like an hourglass look and the second I would like the opposite and make it look chubby. Advice on how to achieve this would be great, I tried the transform/skew%distort&perspective tools but am unable to achieve the effect I invision because when I try to move a corner the other corners and pull points are affected. Sorry probobly doesn't make much sense. The distort tool was the closest I could get to the hourglass look but it was too skinny..
