I just want to make a semi jagged edge of wood that looks like it was burnt. like as if a portion of a table had been burnt off.
I've just taken this pic, and I would like to give it that extra something by adding borders...kind of like burnt in edges. But the thing is that I hate the burn in tool in Photoshop...the texture is veru unnatural.

Anyone have any examples of one and tips they used to create it or links or anything that might help? Driving me insane trying to do this and im not getting very far with it..
I am trying to create an effect that will make letters appear to have been burned into wood - I created a wooden board in photoshop with the help of EyeCandy 4000, found the right color and texture for the lettering, but I cannot get the letters to appear burnt INTO the wood. Used EyeCandy's "bevel boss" but now matter how I manipulate the curve, it always looks like the letters are on top of, instead of burned into, the background.

I have some images that I would like to add this effect to.
I am also looking for some information on making a shiny metal background for a website. I have tried many different tutorials, but have yet to find what I am looking for. I want to reproduce a Silver background with a high gloss effect.

I make 360 panoramas, and I have a series of .jpg digital pictures taken inside, some of which contain 'burnt out' windows. I have however also taken an identical picture exposing correctly for the outside lighting.
I wish to replace the 'burnt out' windows with the properly exposed ones.
I have got as far as cropping the outside shot and placing it underneath the inside shot and using the eraser to make it show through. It seems to work quite well, but my problem is the saved file size. The originals are approx 1.5Mb, but after doing the above, the file size goes beyond double the original .. which I can't seem to fathom. I don't understand why this should be so, and when it will come to stitching the 12 images, they need to be roughly the same file size (and exact dimensions).
I need to create a logo that looks like a branding iron just burned the text onto something...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have burnt a DVD from an .mpg file. The file itself play fine in VSX2PRO as well as computer media players.
The burnt DVD plays fine on the computer as well.
When I play it on a DVD player & TV I lose about 6 or 7 percent of the picture edges all the way round. I have tried it in 3 different DVD player/TV combinations with same results.
I have tried burning with VS itself & Nero - same results. It is relevant as the file is of still with text that goes very close to the edge.
Trying to redo a disc I did in 2006 on a previous program. When I go to capture and then import, it shows 2 files, title and chapter. They are both the exact same thing? Is there any particular reason for this?

The problem is that on my keyboard I have to press Alt Gr to make ~ so can't use Ctrl + Alt + ~ . How can I change the short cut? I know that you can select the highlights by "Select -> Color Range.. -> Highlights" but the result is not as soft as with the short cut. Are there any other ways to select the highlights?

I was shooting into the sun and sea has too many highlights on it.
What is the best way of reducing the intensity of these highlights.
In analog photography, various soft focus filters will create a glow in the highlights, without blurring them (a slight loss of contrast, but no loss of resolution). I've tried a duplicate layer, Gauss blur, lighten blend mode.... just got a glowing blur....

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using a Nikon D200 and Photoshop CS3. I am shooting 1 stop plus/minus and merging to HDR. It seems that the highlights are always getting blown out much more than the middle image. The shadows are brought up fairly well, but the entire upper end of the curve seems blown out with loss of contrast. I have been experimenting with different methods during the 32 to 16 bit conversion to correct it but have not been so pleased with the results. I can get the highlights back down, but the upper end is fairly washed out with loss of contrast. It seems like the middle part of the curve is also pushed up a bit which would account for the loss of upper end contrast.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been using the HDR merge function over the last few days and happily converted numerous images successfully. However, all of a sudden, pictures from the same photo shoot are being converted incorrectly and the HDR function is causing the highlights to be red and completely blown out. I'm doing nothing different and all the lighting is the same as before. Does my software have a bug?
I've just tried doing the HDR merge on the same files in my old Photoshop CS3 and I don't get the problem. Perhaps there's a bug causing it???
In Lightroom and other programs I own I can click a button to show blown highlights or clipped shadows. I can't find this in PS3 unless I apply a curve or levels adjustment.

it says "Control+click on the Menu Text layer in the palette to select its pixels, then click on the New Layer"
problem is I think they're using an older version of photoshop and mentioning shortcut keys. I can't control+click the menu text layer, i want to know how I can 'select the pixels'
I know that in ACR I can see where I have blown highlights by checking the highlight box. If I am working in PS CS2 and I want to see areas with blown highlights in a photo.

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

View 4 Replies View RelatedMac Mini, 2010, OS 10.8.2, 8GB ram, Photoshop 13.0.4 x64. The Image / Adjustments / shadows / highlights controls are, quite suddenly, not working properly. When the control sliders are moved, nothing happens to the on-screen image until the "OK" button is actuated when any changes made to the sliders are suddenly visible. I have done all the usual things, including re-installing, but nothing works.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have recently read about and successfully tried applying the Shadows and highlights adjustment to a layer that has been converted to a smart object. This is to retain the shadows and highlights adjustment for further tweaking at a later date, rather like an adjustment layer.
I found however is that one is prevented from working on that layer with say in my case the stamp tool (and other but not all tools), unless the layer is rasterised. This of course causes the shadows/highlight adjustment to be incorporated in the layer and lost to further adjustment.
Is there no way to apply shadows and highlights permanently in a non destructive way, which can be tweaked at a later date?
I am using CS3 Beta on Windows XP Home.
