Photoshop :: Adding Layer And Part Of Layer Blend Into Background

Jun 2, 2013

this is my problem:
 
Pic 1. I have an image I want to use as a background, however the image is not complete. I need a part of pic 2 to fullfill it.

Pic 2. The colors around the object doesn't match the colors of Pic 1.
 
Normally it would be best to cut the object out. However in this case it wouldn't look nice (the object is mixed out (in color) with the rest of the image). If I cut out something the object won't look "proper".

My question:
 
How can I blend pic 2 on pic 1, using the original object from pic 2 (as it is), and at the same time blend the colors around it, so that it matches that of pic 1 / or simply remove it somehow?

Photoshop :: Adjustment Layer Or Background Layer?

Mar 31, 2006

When you open an image with adjustment layers, what determines what is selected, the background or the adjustment layer? It seems sometimes it's one or the other, and I don't know the logic. Personally I would prefer that the image always opens with the background layer selected.

Photoshop :: How To Keep Layer Effects On One Layer From Affecting Another Layer

Jun 7, 2012

I have found that when I use the Layer Styles on one layer and then make a new layer or select a shape that creates a new layer that when I go to add Styles to the new layer/new shape the previous layer is affected by how I set the Bevel & Emboss, Direction, Altitude, Drop Shadow etc etc.
 
For instance, let's say I have a ...
 
BG > New Layer > draw an ellipse and then add a Bevel with an  > Angle of 89 and an Altitude of 30 and then I add a New Layer > open the Styles and go to change the Angle to say +89 or whatever and the Altitude to say 45 ... the first Layer/Shape Effects change.
 
How I can keep one Layer from being affected by an other Layers Effects'?
 
I have found that if I Rasterize a Layer Effect that I can add a "double" effect on the same layer but I haven't tried the to do this with separate layers. However, for most of the work I am doing I cannot use the Raster because everything needs to be true vectors.
 
I have a Dell Laptop/Windows 7 Home Premium that's a 64 bit

Photoshop :: How To Import A Picture And Convert To A Layer?

May 1, 2009

I want to make a simple animation from 3 pictures (gifs saved on my computer). I understand that I have to get these 3 pictures to be layers but I can't work out how to do that. One tutorial referred to Image>convert to editable layer but I don't see this option on my menu (using CS2). I have to admit to not having mastered layers properly yet.

I would be so grateful if someone could give a step by step description of how to import 3 different pictures and somehow get them into one animation. The ability to make simple animations would make an enormous difference to the project I am working on.

Photoshop :: How To Add Layer From Background

Aug 26, 2012

how do you add to a layer from another layer, for instance, the background?
 
There are TONS of explanations for how to take away from a layer or create a new layer (layer mask) but nothing on how to add to a layer once it's already made. I made this layer with the magic wand tool and now I simply need to add little bits in to the layer that the magic wand missed.

Photoshop :: How To Reveal Background Layer Through Cut Out

Apr 14, 2012

How can I cut out a shape from my PS image to expose the background layer?  I will "Save for Web" with a transparent background. The shape will be a rectangle, and a text layer will later be added to display within the rectangle.
 
My goal is to use the PS image as part of a Web page, allowing the Web page background to show through the rectangle which surrounds the text. Hope this explanation makes sense.

Photoshop :: Background Covers 1st Layer?

Aug 28, 2012

Level: Newbie'ish    OS: Win7 64bit    PS:CS6
 
I am just curious about the following...
 
 Below is the layers panel with the BG layer OFF and the picture below it shows how my image looks when the BG is OFF.
 
 Now here is the layers panel with the BG layer ON and here's my image when the BG layer is ON
  
I am a bit confused as to why the white BG is covering the 1st layer above it ... isn't the BG layer suppose to Always be Behind the 1st layer? Both BG layers are locked and in the same Z order ....
 
So, I'm just wondering why this is happening.

Photoshop :: Can't Get Rid Of White Background Layer

Jun 7, 2011

A friend had an image created, of a star, and cannot get hold of the person who created it. She's asked me but i have a problem, how to remove the background so you just have the star so that you can layer it on another background? I tried this a few weeks ago, changed it onto a transparent layer. Weird thing is when you put it onto another background, the transparent layer suddenly changes to a white background!

Photoshop :: EPS Opens On Background Layer?

Jul 9, 2012

Here's my problem:
 
I get eps files that i have to post to a website. I open the files in Photoshop, and they open on 1 layer, a Background later, that has a white background. However when I drop them into a PPT or Word doc, they are indeed transparent.
 
When I open the EPS's in Illustrator, they are transparent. When I re-save the EPS in Illustrator as an Illustrator EPS, and then open that file in Photoshop, it opens on "Layer 1" and is transparent.
 
Why are these EPS's opening on a background later to begin with?

Photoshop :: How To Handle Background Layer

Jun 15, 2012

For editing a  jpeg file (e.g., sharpening), first I create a duplicate layer.  Now, I have two layers: Layer 1 and Background layers.   Editing is done only on the duplicate layer. That's how I am able to keep the original jpeg file.   When editing is completed on Layer 1, I got to save the edited image.   Before saving it, what should I do with the Background layer?  Should I delete it or merge/flatten with Layer 1?

Photoshop :: Can't Unlock Background Layer Using...

Apr 20, 2008

I installed CS3 a few days ago (though I'm an experienced CS2 and Photoshop 6 user) and opened Photoshop CS3 Extended today for the first time.

The problem I'm having is with unlocking the background layer. I read in the documentation and on the Net about double-clicking and renaming the layer (which is what I did in other versions), or creating a new file with a transparent background, but those things aren't working for me in this version.

I opened a tiff file (a logo I want to use as the basis for a new image) but I can't unlock the background layer so I can copy, manipulate or add to it. Everything on the Layers drop-down menu is grayed out, as are the word Lock: and the symbols following it in the Layers window.

I tried creating a new image but when File|New dialog box opens the option to use transparent in the Background Contents dropdown is grayed out, too.

Photoshop :: Spotted Background Layer

Dec 20, 2007

I have managed to do selections from several photos and dragged them onto the same photo, into different layers successfully, with the image being displayed on the layer chequered background. But sometimes when I do this the image can't be seen in the layer thumbnail. All I get is a spotted layerbackground and the image is not displayed, although it can be seen in the workspace.
