How to convert an image into a Japanese Manga Comic style image using Gimp? I want to turn a few pictures into pictures like this picture that is attached.
I've been asked to convert an image to a BMP, but I don't see BMP in the "save as" menu. I mucked about foundthat I can go Image>Mode>Grayscale then Image>Mode>Bitmap, however I need the image to remain in spot-bluecolour. I sent the person a JPG and TIFF of the file but they insist it has to be a bitmap image. In case this helps the image is simply a company name in Times New Roman font in blue with a white background.
Photoshop 7.0 and came across vectors....They seem pretty complicated, although I know how to use them, I would like to know what are vectors used for? Selections?
i got an icon from the internet which is png,i open it in ps and its in rgb colour mode of course.but i change the colour mode to cmyk and save it when i imported into indesign,in the link info,it says its rgb again!why isn't it appearing in the colour space as cmyk?
getting the best results when creating 3D images in Photoshop. I've been experimenting in the creation of 3D images using a 2D source using Photoshop CS5. The output is intended to be a lenticular print.

I've achieved some good results by converting my single 2D image into multiple layers, creating 3D postcards and adjusting the parallax and focal plane. This gives a good illusion of depth in the image, but (in my experience at least) I can't get a layer to look like it's popping out of the screen.
I've also tried using a single image and creating a depth map from a greyscale image. This does work to make it look like the image pops out of the screen, but I can't get the same illusion of depth that I get in the other case without distorting the image.
What I'd like to do is combine both methods, using the depth map for the foreground layer and using parallax and focal plane settings for the background. Unfortunately I can't get this to work. If I use a semi-transparent layer as the basis for the depth map I get a light grey fringe around my target layer when I apply the greyscale mask and if I then try and set the parallax and focal plane settings as I would have in the first scenario, the layer with the depth map becomes unusable.
I use some graphics software that accept the image in the form of grayscale as follow :the software then convert this grayscale to a 3d relief.is there a method to convert any image to such format with there details ?
I just found this forum a few days ago and have been reading it a bit and found some very useful information and some great resources for Photoshop, I am hoping you can help me with this.
I am using Photoshop CS2 and I know how to convert a color image to B&W, but is it possible to convert a B&W image to color?
If I wanted to include both photographic and vector work in a composition. Should I work in photoshop or illustrator? Is there a way to use vectors in photoshop or will they be pixelated? Lastly if I have to use both can I have a file open in both programs at the same time?
I am creating vector shape layers i can still see pixels, is this right? i know photoshop is a raster program but i was under the impression vector shape layers worked like vectors. The same goes for when i copy and past layer from illsutrator into photoshop as smart objects, should i be able to see pixels?
I've entered a contest that requires you create a window wrap for a car (back window, side windows, passenger side windows, etc.) The contest sponsors provided a template, and it's huge - 65 mb, 177.82 x 36.907 inches, 266743 width x 5536 height in pixels. I reduced the template size to make it easier to work with. So of course when I finished the art and returned the template to its original size and looked at it at 100%, my art looked pixelly.
So I decided to try the Bitmap Trace tool in Xara to change the Photoshop art into vectors (I use Photoshop Elements 4, which doesn't have a vector pen). When I used the Bitmap Tracer, it turned the art into this really neat impressionistic-looking style, that I like even better than the original. But although it's better, the art still looks a little fuzzy when I look at it at 100%.
I am using Xara and I have a designer using CS5. We have tried a couple of formats including eps and psd, but they dont import properly.Whats the best way to translate the work in CS5 to Xara Designer Pro?
Not sure what photoshop version it was BUT there was an option under the menu to convert image to transparent background. I know it wasn't in CS5... it's in CS6. If not, what's the quick and dirty way to get rid of the white background from a JPG?
I am trying to help an organization convert lotssss of .jpg pictures that have been created by PhotoShop into a smaller resolution size. Can I receive a suggestion as to how this can be done pragmatically?
I received a TIF image with 5 pages built in to the single image. When I open it in PS CS it does this Pixel Aspect Ratio thing. Which seems to be fine, but I can't figure out how to view the other pages in the TIF. Since Adobe (I think), owns the TIF format as well as PSD, I assume PS has a function to not only SEE and EDIT multi-page TIF files, but also CREATE them.
So Question 1 is, how do I handle multi-page TIF documents? For reading, editing and creating them? A tutorial or help page or another site, whatever is fastest for you guys. I can't find the functions. Or recommend another app to turn 5 TIFs into a SINGLE document would be fine also. -------------------
Second question is. I have an older scanner that is on it's way out. I have black and white text documents I need to scan and sign and E-mail. Problem is, my scanner WON'T scan in black and white! The page either comes out blank white or as black and white stripes. I CAN scan as a color, or greyscale image. Now then, let's say I scan this doc as greyscale, as a JPG.
I open the JPG file in PS. Now the page is not B/W to begin with. The whole of the document has an off-white Grey hue to it. I want to make sure it has solid text (no gradients) because the original multi-page TIF is this way. And I want the background to be solid white and text solid black. When it first comes into PS it is greyscale with gradients on the text and a non-white color across the whole image.
How can I convert this to B/W and have good looking black text on white? Plus how do I take these five scans after converting them, and turn them back into a multi-page TIF like the original?
The other thing to note is, that I am amazed about. The original 5page TIF is only 134KB. But even with all my editing I can get as low as a single, ONE page TIF at 80KB. How in the world did they compress so far and still look so nice with so many pages! I am hoping to edit these docs, convert to b/w and put back in a 5 page TIF, and not be far off from the original file size. -----------------
What I have tried to far is messing with the "Mode". Changing to duotone and other stuff in that menu. I've used magic eraser to try to remove the background (but still looks like crap in and around fonts). I've used the hue/saturation tools but that doesn't leave crisp lettering. I can accept "some" baddies around the fonts. Seeing as how it is scanned. But one of my attempts produces pretty nasty looking fonts! Like so:
This is 516% zoom. You can see "something" needs to change to make this clearer. And artifacts still show up here and there as black dots around the document. Somehow I got it to be b/w.
I once saw a Star Wars poster wich was made up of screenshots of the movie and when you looked at it from a distance you could see a character of the movie. I was wondering if there is a special technique or even better a filter to recreate this
effect :
Basicly I have an image and loads of other images And I would like the first Image to be build up of all the other images ... (infact the other images will l represent 1 BIG PIXEL of the original image ...)
