View 2 RepliesI have a pretty basic knowledge of Photoshop and I am trying to change fabrics on curtains I have managed to do this but now I am trying to use pattern maker to create a tiled pattern with a fabric so it repeats correctly I have worked out how to start this off but every time I generate a pattern and tile it it becomes distorted I have tried increasing the sample detail but this just seems to distort it more.

When I create a pattern that is NOT tiled in Grid (i.e. Brick), it usually works without any problem. But once I save and re-open the file, opening the pattern in PM again will show this message:
A clipping mask was created around the pattern tile bounds to preserve legacy pattern appearance. For best results, release the clipping mask when changing the tile size or editing art that overlaps the tile edge. I would then find that, instead of a single motif layed out in a Brick tile, I would have one complete motif in the center and four quartered motifs on the corners of one clipping box. This is tiled in a Grid pattern to emulate a Brick appearance.
So long story short, what's supposed to be a Brick tile turns into a Grid tile that's faking a Brick tile.
Is there a way to keep the simple Brick tiles?
I was reading about the pattern maker filter in Photoshop but can't find it under the Filter menu. I have CS4 and thought this would be an interesting feature to use but can't find it. Is it not available in CS4?

Are they gone or placed somewhere else?
Whenever I make a pattern in CS6 and repeat it there is always a line showing up on the initial boundary box. The objects are over the boundary line and should not be a problem. Below you can see the line break in the pattern.

Try it just by putting a solid shape the exact size of the tile.
I am making a flyer for my customer, in Page Maker. They are a florist, and I have edited the images from FTD etc to their standards.
I have run into a problem though. I have traditionally put FTD's logo directly on the images while I am editing them. A request was made, that all logo's would be the same size. In order to do this, I need to have the logo as a separate image with an opaque back ground in Page Maker.
I have been unable to paste in any images (.tif) with opaque back grounds. This is probably due to the fact that our printer has us use CMYK. Yet, photoshop can handle CMYK with opaque back grounds just fine, why cant Page Maker?
I am trying to create a sidewalk area that has a 45 degree 8'x8' hatch pattern in the model. It shows up in 3D but not 2D. What is the problem? It needs to show up in my plans. I have the same problem getting floors to show surface patterns too. Using Revit 2011. A friend gets it to work on his computer with the same version.

I’m suing the Mould Design feature of Inventor Professional and need to have four cavities for this mould. When I try to use the pattern function nothing happens. I look at the Wiki help and it says that I have to enter values for X direction X distance etc, but this dialogue box does not appear.
How can I get the box to appear?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some embedded images in Frame Maker that I need to edit in Photoshop. I copy the image from FM and paste it as a new image into Photoshop. Most of the time its OK, but sometimes it comes up like this, or worse.
It should look like this.
Pasting the image into any other program (i.e. Word, Visio, Paintbrush) works, but it takes more time to fix it, the size is usually off and needs adjusting, and the output is of lower quality.
In FM, the images that seem to do this are JPEG / Frame Vector or PNG / Frame Vector according to the Facets field.

Is there a resource to download and install the English version for the interface and all menus? I really don't feel good using it in Italian (all tutorials allover the web are made on PS in English).
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen using floating windows for images it is very straightforward to copy content from one image to the other.With docked windows in cs6 there's of course the duplicate layer-feature but there's certainly also a drag and drop method. But how to get this to work? I tried dragging Layers and Ctrl-tabbed, I dragged the Layers onto the tab of another image and tried so by holding all sorts of modifier-key.combinations.No avail. So what was the correct way to copy from one image to another by using Drag and Drop?

View 6 Replies View RelatedIn my work I am using Displace (Filter>distort>displace) filter to create fake parallax shift, to create stereograms. I make two copies of image- one using positive-value horizontal displace filter, the other negative. When viewing those images as stereoscopy pair, you perceive them as projected on 3D surface defined by grayscale displacement map (a.k.a. depth-map).
My problem is highly specific: I need to be able to precisely control which pixels are displaced and by what ammount (ammount defined by greyscale value of map pixels). Current implementation of displace filter makes if very difficult.
My goal is this: every pixel of image will be shifted left or right by distance defined by greyscale value of directly underlying depth-map pixel.
The way actual displacement filter works can be described as such: If depth-map pixel is <50%grey, it 'fetches' and becomes bitmap pixel from left. If depth-map pixel is >50%grey, it 'fetches' and becomes bitmap pixel from right.As a result-I cannot, by comparing image pixels with underlying depth-map pixels predict what distance will given image pixel travel. Shift distance is not defined by directly underlying dept-map pixel. Instead, image pixel is 'fetched' by undefined depth-map pixel.
I realise it is highly specific requirement without an easy answer. I am willing to spend long time working on software side if need be and learn in process. I am becoming quite proficient in scripting (JavaScript). I need to know where to start and if there is a solution simpler than coding new filter from scratch.I am using Photoshop CS6 and work cross-platform (primarily windows).

I have made labels in a project and have set the text alignment to "center", but when I switch to the other label, it does not remember my text setting, sets back to left justify. Happens on both labels. Each time I go from one label to the next it asks me to save, I do this, but center justify still does not save.

For now, GIMP is my main program because of familiar look and easyness of use, but it was designed for an opposite use, and is counter-productive for this kind of workflow.
Here is link to what use it was intended for vs similar to mine workflow: [URL] And similar to mine problem experienced by another user: [URL]
So far I went through:
ImageMagick
DigiCam
DarkRoom
Shotwell
GwenView
... still GIMP provides better results much faster.I was under impression that with wide use of the Web there bound to be some Linux software for a fast mass editing.
