I just installed the trial version of Photoshop CC and it installed the Italian version (same as my OS language) for the PS interface. 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 6 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).

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

... 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.
I currently have dynamic blocks that I insert into a drawing. Grip points modify them.
Ideally the user can stretch the inserted objects without needing the grip points so that they behave like normal drawing entities.
If I apply parametric constrains to a set of objects and GROUP them, the object behaves the way I want but I don't know how to insert the group or reference its properties. There are no parametric dimensions in the properties pane when a constrained group is selected. Is there an alternative to Block and Group that would allow this?
You know how you can add a 'layer mask' to a layer and then apply various shades of grey to the mask to alter the transparency of the layer.
For some work I find this awkward as you cant see what your doing on the layer mask (or have a missed a trick here). Are there any alternatives? I would be nice if there was a blend mode to make one layer alter the transparency of the layer below.
Although it may sound strange for 2D projects and rapid technical presentation drawings I have for many years used CorelDraw. I like the ease of use and usability. The problem is the speed and response program for complex drawings. That does not compare to AutoCAD or similar (Archicad, Allplan, etc.). Closest to my idea of approaching is Vectorworks. The price is also important. I welcome the mentioned speed, simplicity, 100% import-export DWG, opportunities to work with bitmaps.

Problem is I need multiple points on a curve to pick up laydowns, PVI's, etc... I tried the "OC", no "OC".......just about every variation I could think of to no avail. Is there an alternative to a FBK that works better?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI know the 'move text to elevation' tool works quite well but the elevation is purely assigned to the insert point of the text object, which in some cases could be metres away from the point it refers to depending on how the text is formatted.
Any tool, lisp or otherwise, that will read the text elevation and assign it to the nearest point/block adjacent to the object?

View 1 Replies View RelatedNowadays you see programs that install in the
C:users[username]AppDataLocal or C:Users[username]AppDataRoaming folder, rather than c:program files.
I have mixed feelings about this, because it confuses me where a particular program is installed. But I do understand the benefits.
Installation in c:program files requires administrator rights, whereas installation in the AppData can be done without (administrator rights).
The same counts for pdn plugins. Currently they need to be placed in c:program filesPaint.Netplugins, which can only be done with administrator rights. In a strictly managed environment I'd need to ask my system administrator to add a few plugins to the pdn install folder structure. (Really, our system administrator can not be bothered with such trivial requests ;-)
But if there was a secondary location where plugins can reside,
e.g. C:users[username]AppDataRoamingPaint.NetPlugins
Then any (low-rights) user could add his own plugins to an existing Paint.Net installation without the involvement of an administrator. Wouldn't that be great?
Maybe such a scheme could be included in the upcoming PDN 4?
I'm am SO DEVASTATED that CS6 got rid of the option to save as CSS layers in Save for Web. I just updated from 5 to 6 and now I'm looking for an alternative but am having no luck. I've tried some scripts I've found online but none of them work the way I need, or at all.
I do animation in AI where each layer is a frame on the animation. In CS5 I could Save for Web and check the Export as CSS Layers box. This would export all the layers in my AI file to pngs, where each layer is it's own png file, in one folder. I could then import them as an image sequence in Photoshop and turn layers on and off with each frame to create my animation.
I tried exporting my AI file to a PSD file with maximum editability but the more complicated the animation (meaning the more layers and the more objects on each layer) it would start flattening layers without warning. Not to mention the rendering time just opening the file in Photoshop and then trying to save it there once I had created all my frames. Photoshop froze on me 6 times this morning while I was trying things out.
I'm desperate for a simple way to do the CSS layer trick. If I can't find one, I'm going to have to go back to CS5 permanently, or until I can find a solution.
I have Curveworks for X5 but it isn't compatible with X6. There hasn't been an update and I use the program every day for deleting overlapping nodes and calculating square footage. Is there an alternative to this? I can't make the jump to X6 without this.

I want to use a 3rd party brush to 'color in' parts of a drawing or paint the background so it has a nice effect.However, when I use the brush tool to add color it reacts in an odd way as seen in the snapshot. I've looked at the brush options but am unsure of what will make a difference. Is there a way of devoting more ram to the program when I'm using it?
Is there an alternative way of adding the same stroke to the actual fill of a shape? At the moment all of my fill colors are block colors rather than having a kind of chalk / pastel texture that I can get with the brush.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI turn to you with the question regarding Photoshop 7.0.
I have purchased this program from the physical person, and this is a German version. The documentation, package and the instruction are published in English, that is why I thought that this program is English version as well.
My question is: if I can install English version from different source using my original key?
Does my original key contains all language versions of PS7.0 or just the German version?
I have registered my key on the Adobe website, and there is no information that it works only with the German version.
I know, that PS7.0 is not supported,
On my back cover of CD is stickers with this info: PHSP,7.0,RET,IE... and then number. IE means International English?
But why on CD I have German version?
