Is there anywhere that clearly explains what everything does in the brushes pallette? Or maybe a tutorial?
I understand some of the basic stuff like the color dynamics, and smoothing etc. But the shape dynamics and whatnot i could use a bit of clarification on.
how do u use the animation pallette in photoshop...
and second is how do u get those diagonal backgrounds?
Must have hit a wrong key.
The blue bar at the top of the pallette has disappeared in the History, Histogram and Tool Design Preset windows. What do I do to get it back so that I will be able to move these windows to where I want them.
I want to break an image down into a core group of colors. Is there any way in photoshop cs to define my colors so when I select one it snaps to the best choice...
I.E. if you select a color with the eye dropper then you check the RGB value of it you can click the "Web Only Colors" and it will snap to the closest choice.
I want to have a pallette of 10-11 colors and have it snap to the best choice...

Or even better... take a whole image and convert it to the 10-11 colors I want. Is this possible with some sort of filter?

I'm trying to add a snow layer to a photo, which I've done before quite well.
This time, something ain't working right!
I've noticed that in my layers pallette, for each layer, on the left hand side is the "eye" icon, but then there should be a "paint brush" icon ....... and there isn't.
Is this why the whole process isn't working?
how do I get the "paint brush" icon back?

In Photoshop CS2 - I used to be able to select the current tool by clicking on it, but now when I click on a tool the window pops up with all the tools available. This happens when I click on any tool that has other options. Usually I would have to click and hold to view the pop up window of other tool options or right click on the arrow for that tool to get the pop up window of the other tools. I have tried resetting my prefeneces by deleting the Adobe Photoshop X Prefs.psp as mentioned in another blog on this site. But that hasn't helped. Any help would be greatly appreciated, other than telling me to upgrade to the current version os CS,

If I'm about to create a new logo or image of some sort my first impulse is to use the highest of the 2 (8 or 16).
I know it has to do with the amount of color information in each pixel so I grab at the highest number... is that impulse reasonable? Striving for the highest quality? Or is there a point of diminishing "perceivable" results?
I have also noticed that some 3rd party filters do not work when in the 16bit mode so that "might" be a drawback I suppose.
Also - I can set my monitor to 32bit color - and do - yet PS stops at 16bit... what is the reason for this please?
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?
I just upgraded to CS3 and it seems they added a step in highlighting layers in the layers pallette. In CS if you were working on one layer and the other layer had the eyeball turned off and you wanted to go back to that layer all you had to do was click the layer box and the eyeball popped back on.
Now in PS3 when you select the layer box the eyeball stays off and you have to click the eyeball to bring it back. Why would they add a new step to slow things down?
How do you rearrange the brushes in the brushes box?
I've seen they are arranged by name, so how do you rename the brushes since renaming the file name don't rename the brush.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using version 5 for years now and I’ve been looking into getting CS but the biggest thing that I’ve noticed is the brush control. I’ve been used to just selecting the opacity (like 10%) and using my stylist and going over the area and getting darker much like a traditional airbrush. I have played around with the flow and opacity but can’t get the look and the feel of v5. I don’t have all the time in the world to play around with it because it’s my friends computer, I just want to know if it can be done or if they have fazed that out with the newer versions.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI miss 2 Brushes in PS 8:
1. A "wet brush" (PS7). it gave a look like painting with slime.
2. A brush that gets Thinner in the end of a stroke. Like the stroke of a pen / feather. Or does anyone know how to get this effect, maybe with another technique.
Did they cancel those strokes or am I to blind to find them?
Im working with Photoshop CS2 and although I have all the brushes that Ive downloaded put into the right folder (program files/adobe/adobe photoshop CS3/presets/brushes) it refuses to see them within the program.
When I installed them photoshop was closed, I even rebooted the computer just in case. I tried moving them into the "adobe photoshop only" folder within the "brushes" folder and it doesn't work.
I know these are more recent brushes so they cant be too out of date for this version.
With the new paint brush features, specifically using the mixer and the new brushes, every paint stroke I make just lags and gets stuck, hanging until it catches up....I have a Xeon Quad and 18 GB of RAM in my pc.....Is there a special way to set prefs or something else??

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running an older system (WinXP 32-bit, 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM (733 mhz), lots of hard drive space (more than 1TB), 1-gig video card (ATI Radeon 4xxx series), 3GHZ intel dual-core processor, Photoshop CS5
Â
I do a lot of painting, and some of the brushes I have are a lot slower than others. Example- some brushes produce almost no lag, while others produce severe lag. (The slower brushes tend to have a lot of settings in the brush panel such as texture, scattering, dual brush, etc)
Â
I'm planning to upgrade my system soon - I'm considering 8 gigs of DDR3 Ram (2400mhz), a 3.4GHZ i5 quad-core processor, an upgraded ASUS motherboard, and probably stick with the remaining hardware for now. I'll eventually move on to 16GB of RAM. I will also be using a 64-bit version of XP and maybe even go up to Windows 7 64-bit (If I can set aside the time for all the headaches that come with something new like this)
Â
My question is, with an improved system like this, would I expect to see the lag drop significantly on these slow brushes? Or is it just the brush itself which is slow and an improved system will have no impact? I do very little in the way of filters, 95% of my workflow is pure painting with a variety of brushes and not too many layers for the most part (usually less than 50 and closer to 10 on average). So my main concern is trying to remove the slowdown when painting.
