I'm using photoshop (CS2) to ink/color a webcomic attempt of mine, and I'm a bit stuck for how to do the borders of the individual frames. I tried playing around with the rounded rectangle tool, but I have to be honest I dont have a CLUE what it does or how to use it.
I basically need to make a hollow rectangle with slightly rounded corners about 5-10 pixels thick.
We have Photoshop CS, and we need to make the frames - so we tried using the rectangle tool - but when we do this, we can't draw in the frames, and when we add a new layer and switch to it, the frames vanish.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been given a college assignment where I have to make a 6-8 image comic strip story, where I'm the main character, either hero or villian. Now I have a few ideas bouncing around my head, but thought I'd ask if anyone else has ever had to deal with a similar project, before I went ahead with anything.
Can anyone offer any advice as to design? Any suggestions/ideas as to the content or a storyline? All comments welcome, the teacher gave us the freedom of artistic expression and I plan to use it!

2-You know those old kind of posters ( 1930s) style? How can this, if possibly, be done in PS7?
I am not talking about the fancy 3-d apps that create these awesome metallic-loking 3 -d images,like this: I I'm talking about linear art, flat and 2-d, like the old school comic books like Superman, Wonder Woman and Spider-Woman. That's what I am looking to do: I know there was some plug in that let you do them just like that, (after you typed in the name, you selected the letters and with some app, you manipulated them to look like old-school comic book lettering...)( I remember creating them old-school titles myself) with no fancy gradations, shines or bevels, it was just the lettering, and the effect of the 3dish thing...anyone knows what the plug in is, or if anything like that can be done with either Illustrator Cs4 or Photoshop Cs4? This is an example of what I did myself: But that was years ago when I had Illustrator 10, and after a long time with no acces to the net or computers, I'm back in the swing of things, but I can't remember the name of the program or plug in that allowed you to do those imges!

Real simple. I just want to make a border around a picture. How do I get started?
Btw, I'm using Win-XP.
I am a graphic novel writer & comic designer. I have been told that many of Adobe's products can be used to create drafts for comic book pages. But some people tell me Illustrator is the best, others say In Design is the way to go and I have even heard Photoshop works as well. What Adobe product would you recommend to use for making comic book pages?

View 2 Replies View Relatedis there a way to make it so everything that appears on the artboard is hidden/invisible, and have it so my vector shapes/images only appear inside rectangle/panels?
Â
As of now, if I am to create a comic using the pen tool, and some parts of the vector are outside the rectangles (panels) I made, I would either have to use the knife tool to cut off the vectors outside, or hide the vectors outside the panels with white rectangles (since my artboard is white).

The idea is just a poster or canvas with a cat of a famous comic series just for my office decoration.
I have installed the fonts but the amount of color editing and customization I can do is very, very small. For example I want to take a letter have it colored purple (so far so good) and then give a border to the letter like thin line of yellow (no option that allows me to do this).
we are talking about pretty big letters here but I cant seem to be able to do this. I am trying to edit this pre existing image and trying to enter dialogue bubbles with thin colored borders.
As for the dialogue/though bubbles themselves I can seem to find any "insert shape" inside gimp, you sometimes characters are yelling or crying or just speaking normally has to be shown by the dialogue bubble but I cant seem to be able to do it.
I have used photoshop before but it is very complex and I feel like I can work with GIMP much more easier and faster but none of these basic options seem to be available. Are there addons to install so I can work easier with than making every single dialogue bubble from scratch? *shudder*
Edit: I am using both the new version and the 2.6 version... I find the new version absolutely terrible, especially when it comes to saving your work as an image file but if necessary I will work with both versions.
I'm trying to create my own Star Wars comic, and of course, being the traditionalist that I am, I wanted to start it out with an opening crawl.
The problem here is that I need a way to 'tilt' the image of the block of text so that it resembles the opening crawls from the movies. I've tried a few ways, but I can't find anything that does what I want it to do. I thought about 'pinching' the top section, but the selection tool doesn't have this function and I can't find anything in the tools to create this effect.
Am I going to have to import the text into a modeling program, tilt it, and render it as a 3D object?

I started to get this strange error with my Photoshop when making a new document in Photoshop and got the following error: "cannot initiate Photoshop because Photoshop cannot create any more windows".
I thought the easiest thing to do would be to reinstall (Photoshop needs reinstalling extremely often unfortunately), but now when I try and open the program it just give an alert beep and closes back up. Even though I rarely use ImageReady, I opened that up to check and it does the same behavior.
Can anyone tell me what color settings I need to set in photoshop in order to avoid this from happening? It only happens once in a while and I don't know what I've done to fix it or screw it up. What happens is that when I'm in photoshop and I do a "save for web" my document jumps to image ready and when viewing '2 up' for optimization purposes and comparison, I realize that the original view is actually duller in color and does not look like the original in photoshop. The blacks are definitely not as black.
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen I got my first Macintosh IICX and all of my MacPaint clip art. I don't want to get rid of the clip art because since I'm still using a black ink printer and not upgrading to a color one, the clip art looks nice in newsletters and the like.
Up until this time I had been using SuperPaint which had the New Superbits editing plug-in to refine the pictures so they had the smoother and cleaner lines instead of looking jagged. With my new computer and printer, I'm also getting Photoshop CS packaged with Adobe Creative Suite Premium, which I have never used before. Since I have not received my order yet, I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether Photoshop has the capability of improving the older MacPaint clip art like SuperPaint did with the New SuperBits editing plug-in. Over the past two days, I have been trying like crazy to back-up my pictures with SuperPaint and then re-saving them with Graphic Converter. It's been so incredibly slow that I thought I would go ahead and ask you, the experts, if Photoshop can also improve the quality of my older MacPaint clip art or if I should continue to back-up my clip art like I have been doing.
I have just got back from the Elbow gig and pulled the images off the card. They load up in Bridge but don't have actual picture thumbnails. They are named correctly, ie: IMG_3483.CR2 but they won't open!? Error message says 'Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognise this type of file'
I could see them on the back of the camera.

I battled the problem even by editing the fonts itsels, because that seems to work with Adobe Illustrator, yet this also cause the edited fonts to be useless in another programs. So I looked deeply and in the Adobe settings in directory Fonts / Reqrd are directory CMaps and perhaps editing the character map used will be better and usable solution? how to do it or even determine with file from the 96 files in the CMaps directory are right now used by Adobe Photoshop?
Everytime I open my CS6, it always show " Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)" I reinstalled it but it is still popping out.
