Im using PS CS3 with a wacom tablet on an 20 inch alum iMac (the display is CRAP). Im having banding issues when using the airbrush on a dark background. Maybe someone can help me out with this.
airbrush banding, as well as gradient banding? I have my brush set to transfer, pen pressure and smoothing. It seems when I try to lay down a smooth gradient with the airbrush I get this banding effect. If I brush over the same stroke there's a dark spot that forms like a bullet eye that gets bigger and bigger. It's the same with gradients.
I have been trying to use a downloaded action that makes text glow like neon. Everytime I play the actions, it tell me that airbrush is not available. I have the text selected, the brush choosen, and airbrush turned on before I hit play.
using a airbrush softbrush 100 which I only have a 50? But more importantly using it to delete a section of a layer so you getthe layer behind it shining through but it's like an airbrush so no hardlines:
Can someone tell me how to change the direction of the pen tilt so that it sprays the right direction? I have an airbrush from Wacom, and the spray goes in the opposite direction from the tilt. It does the same thing if I use the Wacom brushes as well.
I have: Windows XP Cintiq 12wx Airbrush & Grip Pen Photoshop CS3
Ive heard great things about the airbrush.. It's one of the most popular tools for shading and highlighting images, and is used in nice background wallpapers located at Spoono.com ..... Im wondering how do you use the airbrush to make effective highlights..? What is the key to mastering it? I know practicing and playing around is one way, but Ive spent 20 hours and I cant do anything close to the beautiful images I see
I do a lot of montage work in PSCS and have recently been using my Wacom tablet and boy do I love it, but have a question for those of you who use tablets.
When I'm doing a montage I use very soft brushes to merge the edges. With my Intuos pen, even though I use a large soft brush setting (same as the one I use with a mouse) I get very pen like lines, so I always end up switching to the mouse. Do I need to do something with either the pen settings or the way I use it, or should I be getting an "airbrush" for this kind of work.
If u have ever seen those spray painted galls , plz post a tutorial on how to do that. I mean any mag out there has some form of softening or spray painting going on, especially womens health mags... Are there tools u have to buy? Im more interested in finding out how to do it from scratch.
User guide states: "Customize Brush Tip Shape options like Granularity, Spatter, Hardness, and Distortion controls. With a stylus, alter the spread of sprayed strokes by changing pen pressure."
I see the settings for controlling ganularity, distortion, spatter, etc., and the stylus tilt angle seems to control "distortion". Â The cursor "spray" outline seems to change shape as when the stylus hovers over the tablet. But there appears to be less control when stylus contacts tablet. Â I used traditional airbrushes for years. There are some interesting emulations here, but a better description
i design and print t-shirts and use photoshop for all my designs. a customer recently asked me to print a photo of her son on a shirt..but she wanted the image to look like it was airbrushed onto the shirt. ive looked around but havent had any luck finding tutorial on the subject.
There GIMP airbrush has a problem that is gradient segment . How to set airbrush for more smooth and soft stroke without any blur effect . There i used "smooth stroke" option but it's not smooth . Gradient segments always there .
After playing with a new install of CS3, I see that there is banding in high value pixels. Yet when I open the same file in CS2, the photo is fine. I use a CRT. On my laptop, both versions work fine.
If I make a 16 bit untagged file with a black/white gradient, there are unacceptable bands throughout.
I've tried all of the options from the Color Management Policies: Preserve Embedded profiles; Convert to working RGB; and OFF. My working space is Adobe RGB.
I am a long time gimp user and also a long time intuos user and I just recently got the airbrush pen for my intuos. I am running windows 7 and gimp 2.8. I am trying to figure out how to get the wheel on the airbrush pen to do something like adjust occupancy for example but I cant get any wheel settings to work. I am not sure if gimp recognizes that its a different pen. Any airbrush pen or a pen with a wheel in gimp
I recently started noticing very bad gradient banding when using the gradient tool. It's specifically bad when using darker colors. I also noticed when using the blur filter I get banding with dark colors also. I am working on 16 bit document. Â [URL]..........
here is a screenshot of what I am seeing. My color mode is RGB Color 16 bit Color profile SRGB  Here are my computer stats  iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011 Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB Serial Number C02H96AUDHJP Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)
Created a new 16 bit RGB image for use within Premiere Pro with an alpha channel enabled. When viewing within Photoshop if I zoom in on the image you can clearly see banding.
i'm working on a 16 bit psd photo file. i'm using an adjustment layer with a layer mask. when i draw a gradient or use the eraser tool on the layer mask i've been noticing a banding pattern.
I'm new here and I'm hoping someone can help me shed some light on a problem we're having. We're seeing a lot of banding around our subject when using curves and/or vignettes. This seems to happen most frequently if we're applying more than one curve to a shot and using masks to affect only part of the image with the curve. Has anyone else had this problem and managed to overcome it?
Does Xara support this pen or others, and if so, how does it stack up in terms of what types of pens and or tablets some of you are currently using? Secondly, does Xara support video frame rotoscoping at all like Painter does?
Using Debian testing - Gimp 2.6.11 and when I create a graphic I try to use airbrush, brush or pencil and I can't get them onto the graphic. The colour tester does get onto the graphic and works.
for the others the cursor vanishes and only the arrows on the ruler top and side move about. The cursor is behind the graphic? Moves out from under when I move off the graphic.
I have:  Windows Xp Service Pack 3 4GB RAM Geforce 560ti PS CS5 extended  I am a photographer and submit the images to an agency.They inspect images at 100% for technical quality.  While preparing an image today, I used a layer mask in the levels adjustment.I used brush with 0% hardness and just clicked once with black color selected.But I found some severe banding.I alter clicked on the layer mask and found the same banding at 100%.I have not noticed such a thing till date.
[URL].... Â I did try copy pasting the layer mask to show it to you guys, but when I saved it as jpeg and viewed the jpeg file, there was no banding.However I can see the banding even if view the jpeg of the image above.I tried on another images too but the same problem.It used to be very smooth before.Have made no changes to the default settings.Tried with both OpenGL on and off. Â Why does this happen?
i`m trying everything to get the smoothest softest blends possible in photoshop, and I think its possible because Ive seen a lot of digital graphics where it is really nicely done, but mine is a disaster.the banding and artifacts in it are disheartening. whether with brush or gradient, even on small areas like 7 to 12 inches. I'm not talking about poster size just average A4 pages being painted. Â I've used the brush tool on the softest setting, and a wacom bamboo tablet, with pen pressure determines opacity seeming to produce the best results, low opacity to try build it up, opaque etc, and very close tones, as close as possible, and the gradients don't fair much better, Â is this the way it is or is there another technique to get smooth blends with the brush or gradients? the colour picker seems to have smooth silky powdery blends, I thought it would be possible to paint like this with the airbrush in PS but it doesn't produce this kind of softness.. of course the colour picker is code generated not with a brush,,
-here the brush is used on 3 types of settings, the last being with pen pressure determines opacity producing better results, but not what I expected.
-here I used a large soft brush which was larger than the oval, and a few swipes across but I can still see artifacts or shapes in there,
Using CS6, I created a sky gradient on a new layer, then imported some photos to other layers for a composite. Then I noticed horizontal banding of varying widths in the sky area of the gradient. When I use the Move Tool to move the gradient layer around, the bands move along in a fixed position, so it's not my monitor. When I Option-click on the gradient layer eyeball icon to make just that layer visible, there is no banding on the screen, just a smooth gradient as it should be.  I have never noticed this happening before. What causes it and what can I do about it?Â
