when a want to change my text with filter a message apear ... it says this layer must be rasterized before proceeding .
what i have to do for my text change correctly?????
I have a set of images of complex text that has already been rasterized into pixels. My client would like the images transformed with a different background color and different foreground (text) color.
Just replacing the 2 colors of course does not preserve the antialiasing which provides the smoothness. And when I try hand-editing the aliased pixels it takes forever and always looks pretty bad.
Ideally there would be a way to transform the color schema globally so that the 2 foreground and background colors are changed as directed, and all "intermediate" antialias pixels adjust "accordingly". Does such a transformation exist -- can you specify a color transformation that adjusts 2 colors at once?
Or is there a more painstaking process of masks and such? I've tried several versions with masks, selects, feathering etc. but haven't found anything yet that gives professional antialias quality to the final recolored result.
I was wondering if there was a graceful way to change a thick stroke or outline in PS CS6? Normally I would be lazy and just use the paint bucket tool, but since this is for a higher profile client than I am used to, and it is a for print project (I normally do web projects) the quality is just not good enough. The lines I want to change are the yellow outlines of the yellow hand in the following logo:
Â
Currently, the best approach I can think of is going back into AI and changing the outlines and strokes there, however that is going to be a lot of work because of the way in which different objects overlay each other means a lot of slicing, cutting, and moving things around. Is there an easier way to do this in PS?
I have a layer of Text both as Text and Rasterized.
I am unable to stroke either of the two, meaning the menus are there, but no effect is showing up.
I have a type layer with some text in it (a headline, let's say). I click on the layer, I click on the Character Panel, and first thing I see is the color in the Panel is not the color of the font in the layer.
Â
I then click on any Panel property, and the text in this layer is replaced by text from another layer in my document ( a paragraph layer, let's say), but the color is not the same as the layer the text came from.
I'm fairly new to PS and I wonder if someone could explain this behavior:
I started out with black vector text and a logo in Illustrator. I rasterized it and saved it as an EPS. I opened the EPS in PS 7, specifying dpi of 600 with anti-alias checked. (I'm not quite sure why it then rasterized a file that was already rasterized, but that's another question).
On my screen, it looks great! I zoomed in close and the edges are nice and smooth. However, when I try to resize it to be smaller so I can use it on the web, it falls apart. The edges become very jagged and when I do Save to Web and put it on a web page, it is very fuzzy.
I've resized color images before for the web without this fuzziness. Am I getting this effect because it is black and white? I thought trying to resize it to be a bigger image results in poorer quality, not resizing it to be smaller.
Is there some technique I'm missing?
I have white text on a yellow background...I need to change the background to white and the text to green. The rasterized text is part of the yellow background (ie it's not a seperate layer). Any attempt to change the colour or select the text invariably doesn't catch all the aliased pixels....with my resulting text not looking as smooth as the original.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been using Photoshop CS2 for several years to enhance my photographs, but just now have encountered something simple I cannot find out how to do.  I have on the background layer a picture of a room interior with the exposure set mostly for the open window, but the rest of the room is very dark. On the only other layer, the upper one, I have the same shot exposed correctly for the room, which overexposes the window area. The upper and lower layers are perfectly superimposed, and the upper layer is at 100% opacity.Â
I have selected the window on the upper layer and want to change the selected area's opacity to blend properly with the window on the bottom layer without changing opacity of the rest of the layer. No matter what I do, changing opacity seems to affect only the entire layer, and I haven't figured out how to isolate the selected area for the opacity change.
Â
I can cut the selection to reveal the darker window on the bottom layer, but this doesn't give me the flexibility I need to balance the two exposures. An opacity change would be ideal.
I'm having trouble accessing text layers in a logo I am trying to make.
Each time I create text, it gets put into its own layer; that seems to be the way GIMP does things. I'm fine with that. However, once I've completed making a text layer and moved on to creating a second text layer, I can't seem to get back to the first text layer to make changes, such as the colour of the text or the size of the font.
The window for the graphic indicates that there are several layers but I can seem to get back to any previous layer. I don't see any menu options for accessing one of the other layers. PageUp and PageDown don't show me the different layers. It's as if the layer's content, colour, font, etc. can't be changed once I've started a new layer.
How do I access the layers that I created before the current layer?
I am using GIMP 2.6.11 and running on Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 2.
I have applied a 3D>Extrude and Bevel on my text. Now problem is that when doing it, my border(part that is extruded) causes a color banding, since it rasterizes the gradients. See my image below.

I'm in the process of preparing vector graphics for an After Effects motion graphics project. I decided to use the new vector features in CS6 because I am more friendly with the PS interface than I am with Illustrator.
Â
I've created several vector shape layers that now, after some work, now look like rasterized graphics. I'm not exactly sure what happened but I am sure I have not rasterized them myself.
Â
Also, when I import the graphics into After Effects, it gives me no option to collapse transformations or continuously rasterize the layers.
Â
Have I done something to rasterize the shape objects in Photoshop? New shape objects I create are vector. Do I need to start over?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I am applying a style to one layer in CS2, and lets say I give it a drop shadow that is different (say it's at 110degrees rather than 90degrees) compared with the other drop shadows in my other layers, the curent layer style will change all the other layer styles across the board. I've looked all over for some setting to change so each individual layer keeps its own style but I can't seem to find this. I want each layer to have its own style attribute and not change the rest, how do I correct this?

View 4 Replies View Relatedtrying to copy txt from an outside text editor and pasting them into an open, editable text layer in my workspace. The problem is that I can COPY the text fine, but when I click over to PS to paste it into the open editable text layer it either pastes the previous text from my clipboard OR it won't paste anything at all. I can then go into any other text field on a browser, spreadsheet document, a different text editor, notepad, etc and successfully paste the proper batch of text I wanted to paste into PS. Sometimes I have some rather large files open 50+megs when I notice this happen. I have to save my work and close out entirely of PS and then open it again before I can begin editing my original document again and successfully paste the text into the open editable text layer. This may last for a few COPY/PASTE sessions of additional text in additional text layers, but then begins displaying the symptoms I described above.

Placing an bitmapped .eps file from Photoshop, sometimes the file comes in at the dpi it was saved at, (say, 1.25 inches wide and 1200 dpi) and sometimes at 72 dpi (and a couple of feet wide).
Â
Is there something the creator of the .eps file has set in photoshop that is causing Illustrator to interpret the incomoing dpi?
Â
I realize a 1.25 inch 1200 dpi file has the same information as a 26+ inch 72 dpi file, but it causes an extra key stroke (a recorded action to resize the placed file). Not all the time, just some times.
Â
I open the customer's .eps file in Illustrator and it opens at 72dpi/26 inches.
I open the customer's .eps file in photosohp, hit "save" and open it in Illustrator at 1200dpi./1.25 inches.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a children's textile/wallpaper design portfolio digitally and I'd like to know how to change a scan of a hand-painted motif into a tonal range of 1 colour in photoshop.
I discovered the duotone trick, but this changes the whole file (whilst flattening all layers), whereas I want the flexibility of being able to change the motifs on each layer to different colours
I've tried options in the adjustment bar, however these just add colour to the existing colour. Say I have a pink image and want to make it yellow, using the adjustment bar options always seems to keeps an amount of pink in it so it never becomes a true bright yellow, it will always have a browny tinge to it. Also the tiny colour wheel bar in the Hue/Saturation option isn't ideal at picking an exact colour.
My main aim is to try and incorporate my sketches & paintings into my designs, to allow me to work quicker rather than purely working by hand, so I want the flexibility of being able to easily changing colours as I create each design.
I just switched from the GIMP and I am not accustomed to some of the ways in Photoshop. I wanted to ask how to change a layers size only. I don't want to change my whole images size, I just want a part of the image changed. I've been using Image - Image Size to do this,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI generally do my dodging and burning with an overlay layer. When burning, I typically have opacity set between 10 and 15%, and pain with a black brush. The layer is an overlay layer with 50% gray fill.
Â
THIS MAY HAVE BEEN HAPPENING WITH CS5, IN WHICH CASE I'M CRAZY, SO JUST TELL ME, BUT I DON'T RECALL EVER SEEING THIS..........
Â
BUT, when I burn in CS6, instead of just darkening the area, it APPEARS I'm also getting a color shift. I've checked to make SURE my colors are white and black (black in this case), and I've tried changing the mode of the brush from normal to luminosity just to see if that would make a difference.
It's a bit hard for me to word, but when I change my canvas size I want my adjustment layers to have black additional canvas added instead of white.
