I'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!
I'm really enjoying the new command auto-complete suggestions list in ACAD2012, it allows me to discover new ProSteel commands which are otherwise undocumented.
I've just started going though the list (typing "PS_" and allowing it to suggest all commands beginning with "PS_" - which are ProSteel commands), and have realised that the task would be a lot easier if it were possible to increase the height of the suggestions list (say from 7 to 15 or more).
See screenshot attached. Any way to achieve this - maybe with a registry edit or something?
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.
I've seen many tutorials for getting a comic book effect on a picture, but if you were to be doing this on large scale projects (for example a weekly comic strip),
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!
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?
How can I strip all data from an Image? Â Like Rating, comments, ICC profiles, Guides and Slices, EXIF, RAW, Camera data ... etc.. etc.. I would like to strip all the data from my images that I use as album art for my Media Center.. Â I just want an Image and nothing else.
I just downloaded Elements 11 Editor for mac OSX 10.9, and when I try to use any of the new filters (comic, Graphic Novel, etc), it crashes. What do I do?
I bought PSE 11 for Mac a few months ago, and have finally been able to spend some time examining the features. However, I noticed that my "Sketch" filters do not include the comic or graphic novel options. Were these two omitted from the Mac-version? Or do I have a faulty copy of the program?
I am trying to make a film strip look like the river thames. i tried warping and this didn't work. i can use photoshop or illustrator.  so imagine a reel of film in the shape of the inner london river thames.
I have been mocking up an image on Photoshop, the final image basically consists of a variation of placed images. Whenever I zoomed in, one small part of the image wouldn't load properly and instead be pixelated. Usually it would go away once I either zoomed in or out a step further. But now it has just remained there and I have a pixelated strip that won't go away. Â I'm not too sure why this may have occurred? This is a small screenshot of the strip:
I have a picture which is a panorama of a relief panel (think hieroglyphics). What I am wanting to do is strip out all the background so all I have is the lines of the relief art.
What I have tried is adjusting the brightness/contrast, turning the image into greyscale and selecting colour range but I am not getting the effect I want. I don't want to go too extreme and do line drawings of the panel. Ideally I would like to use the lines of the image as they appear and I'm sure there must be a way of doing this in Photoshop.
How do i create an image in PSE11 to look like a negative strip? I have been able to do this in the past in older PSE but i cannot find the option in this version.
I often produce product images for clients that they then supply to their distributors and I prefer that my camera EXIF data not be included (none of their business). I use various actions to produce a variety of sizes and colourspaces (sRGB and CMYK) from the original PSDs. Unfortunately Photoshop seems to lack the ability to strip the camera EXIF data from a PSD file other than by copying the image to a new document. This is fine for a few images. But when you have 50-100 images it's not very practical.
Here's an action that would work:
Note: Image layers are not supported and the colourspace is lost so you will need to make note of the colourspace of the originals.
Action 1 : Open (flatten) and save the RGB or CMYK PSD files as Scitex Format (SCT).
Action 2: Open .SCT files, assign the now missing colourspace tag, re-save as PSD.
I can then add any metatags that should be embedded in these images.
But does anyone know of a plugin or post-processing utility that will strip selective metadata (ie: camera info only, not the metatags with the company info, copyright etc..) from RGB and CMYK 'Photoshop format' images?

is 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).
Just wondering if Gimp can paint in a ink comic book panel I draw?I wouldscan the drawing in and then paint it using gimp,is that possible and isthere a tutorial showing me jhow?
I was just wondering what would be the finest way to convert a comic character (like Gaston Lagaffe or Tintin or...) into a vector for personal use? Â 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 have a cube with "Noise Rotation controller" assigned. * On the other hand, i make a strip that comes flying in a straight line (a rectangle whit "path deform modifier" OSM). * when both meets, the strip moves around the cube following it, and then keep his trajectory in a straight line.
I resolved attach the path to the cube, and works pretty well in the middle section of the trajectory , but at the start the path keep rotating whit the cube, and mess it up.
in others words, i need to attach temporarily, only when the strips fly around teh cube.
This is purely a sitting infront of autocad with nothing better to do question,is it possible to draw a "MOBIUS STRIP" with autocad.it would be cool to do, have fun trying its baffled me, but then again thats not hard .
