Photoshop :: BEST WAY TO CUT OUT OBJECTS? AND GOOD WEBSITE 4 FREE BRUSHES
May 1, 2006
i usually zoom in about 800 percent and use the eraser tool to cut stuff out. is that the best way to do it ? also whats a good website for free brushes, especially like graffiti brushes like splatters n stuff ?
I'm trying to find a place where I can buy paintings and put them on the cover of my books. They would have to be royalty free. I"m ok with paying some money. Is there dvd's of pictures or paintings that can be bought.
Okay so I got the grunge brushes off of expertstudio but now I need more.... I need stuff to create things like there are on the splash page of teamphotoshop (splash 17, or splash 13). Anyone have some cool brushes I could have? Thanks for the advice in advance.
Has anyone got any recommendations for somewhere that I can download free Photoshop Custom Shapes and Brushes? I've had a quick look around Google and found some but unfortunately they are not compatible with my version of PS (CS3).
Just wondering if anybody knew any good sites to get high-quality PS brushes without having to pay a pretty penny.
I've had luck finding some nice ones made by deviantart users (especially a grunge-brush pack called "Fracture"), but almost every other "free" package has just been sample watered-down version of the actual brushes (which they make you buy).
I would pay for them if I intended to use them in any art I was going to sell, but since it's just for fun and making siggys and what not... freebies are the way to go.
I been using photoshop for a couple months now and is getting real good at it but i need to get more fonts and brushes..does anyone know how i can get more that are free?..also once i download them how do i install them into photoshop...
i downloaded some free fonts and tried to implement them...one worked. But now my brushes aren't working as in when i open the library of brushes and click it pops up and says "unknown error has occurred". are these 2 linked?
When I try to scale down a Smart Object, by using the Free Transform tool, I get over-sharped edges. Mind you when I do the same on a raster layer I can overcome it since there is an option box where I can choose interpolation method.
I have lost the ability to free scale objects/text boxes etc. in Illustrator CS5. I have to use the scale tool every time I need to adjust the size of something and it is not a sustainable technique in terms of time/productivity/function.
My site has 22 pages, but only 11 of them are product pages which are set-up the same way. I want to make the same change to all 11 product pages. Is there a way to do that without having to repeat the change on all 22 pages?
I am just starting out with the Photoshop CS5 trial. I am trying to apply a triangular pattern to a thin rectangular shape. I used the custom shape tool>triangle, then defined the pattern successfully.However, when I apply the pattern it partially repeats it along the vertical as well as the horizontal axis. Please see attached screenshot:
I only want it to repeat horizontally, what am I doing wrong?
Also, I am Fireworks CS5 user and am really missing the properties inspector panel which allows you to quickly and esily edit sizes of objects, is there a Photoshop equivalent of this?........at the moment the only way I can find to edit objects is through Edit>Free Transform.
I would like to apply a transparency to some brush strokes. But when I click on a group of brush strokes, or select a single brush stroke, I can not start a transparency, or I get an error that there are too many objects.
I have some brushes that emulate smoke, but I would like to ad transparency to them.
I am interested in grouping and sorting brushes according to size, shape, whatever.
Right now when I add a brush library, they just stack on top of one another.
For example let's say I have a round brush with a 10 diameter, then next to it a round brush with a 20 diameter. If I make a 15, it goes to the bottom of the list, and I have to scroll all around. How can I group them?
I suspect I would have to make my own brush library with my brushes how I want them, then save that and load it?
my setup is: Pentax K20/80-200,2.8 Star ED, dual studio flashes with semitransparent white umbrellas, X-rite color proofing card, CS5, Syncmaster 214T with Spyder2 for calibration and Epson R2400 with all the proper ICC profiles..trying to repro an artwork with many nuances, particulary blue, red and yellow, the red one will show properly. The red gets smeary and too red.
The artwork has a little more of blue in it but that does not show up in the print, just on screen. The difference from screen to paper is too big for my taste (calibrated the day before). I've recently repaired the monitor with better quality capacitors to enhance performance.
I use glossy Epson paper. Also the blue seems to bleed when printed. Resolution of picture is 360dpi as recommended by Epson. I use "keep sharp edges"when enlarging it from the original 240dpi. This has the effect of retaining the colors at least on screen. Sharp image = more pure colors.
I am trying to make a logo. I have it complete but I do not likethat the text looks a little pixilated. I want to make the text look good, in other words make it look High Quality.
so i`ve scanned some pics, and simply used ps to crop them and when i`ve printed them off they`re quite pixilated, especially when they did`t seem that bad on the screen on ps. on the print set up the quality levels are all high photo quality level, so that should`nt be a problem. I`m just wondering what can be done to reduce the pixilation. is there an effect that`s good for this??
noticed that in CS6 is u crop to 72dpi there is way to much sharpening applied to the image as compared to CS5. This is a real pain in the ass especially for a web developer.
ive had a graphic requested and they want an explosion in the background. Was wondering if anybody knew a good tutorial to make explosions or how to make them in general?
I'm designing a real-estate flier for a friend and am trying to add some text to a white background. There is going to be plenty of text and photos on the sheet so I'm trying to use a font size of 8. When I printed this out the text was extremely blurry. I tried several different fonts with the same result.
What would be the best setttings to do something like this? I think I'm supposed to use CMYK Mode but am not sure about the resolution or the pixel dimensions.
