I'm about to purchase some scale models I want to photograph, then turn the photos into line art so I can make alterations to them. Is it easier to turn a picture that is mostly white or very colorful into line art using Photoshop?

I have tried several techniques for this unsuccessfully.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a query as to how I could automate the replacing of selected individual lines with predetermined sized rectangular blocks centered on the line at the angle and on the “0” layer . See attached file:
The rectangle need not necessarily be a polyline, 4 single lines would be sufficient. And whether the original line is or is not replaced is unimportant either.
So I am attempting to create a simple grading daylight. I began with a 3D Polyline that has only 2 verticies. When I "Convert Feature Lines from Objects," it creates a feature line with 4 verticies. The 1st and last have the initial elevations from the 3D Poly, but the 2 new verticies seem to be pulling elevations off the surface below where I am working.
My questions are: 1) why are new verticies added? 2) can this be prevented?
I know that I can overwrite the slopes in elevation editor, but this seems like an unnecesarry extra step.

Let's say you just have a simple black line in Gimp. You then use the color select tool to select it, and you plan on then converting that Selection into a single line Path.
From:
Into:
You select the line, but the Selection tool actually travels a loop around the line. So, when you turn that Selection into a Path, you do not have a single line, but you instead have a loop.
So my question is this: is there any mechanism for making your Selection in GIMP just a single line so that it can then be converted into a Path?
Originally, I was trying to achieve this in Inkscape (and started a thread about it in the Inkscape forum). However, it appears that, although other Vector Art programs can achieve this, Inkscape cannot. So I was thinking that I could instead use Paths in GIMP instead, but this is not possible because of the nature of Selections, as far as I can tell.
Here's an attempt to illustrate this request:
Any way to convert all of the single line text in exisitng drawings to multiline text without having to do them individually in Civil3d.

View 2 Replies View Related1. if i draw a line using the line tool.. can i curve it to say 40 degrees like i can with the text function?
2. So ya that one was easy.. hows bout when i want to cut something out ACCURATELY, the pen function, right? (according to a friend)when i make all those little boxes and select the area i want to cut, all that gets copied are the outer lines, which i presume is what ive just drawn.. how do i cut the area inside this?
3. and finally maybe a slightly less easy one- In Paint, when you cut out an object and paste it, you can select for the white of the image to become transparent so you can paste over what you have already.. is thee a feature in PS for this?
I'm trying to use the line tool to draw a colored line, I draw the line via Line tool, it appears in grey, I right click>stroke path and select Pencil > OK, the line is still grey and not the foreground color. If I do the same with a Rectangle Tool, it works fine and darws me a nice colored rectangle. What am I doing wrong? This is driving me nuts...!!
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhenever I want an image that I have edited in Photoshop to look good in a browser, I have to convert the image to my monitor's profile for it to look the way it did in Photoshop. So, the workflow is 1) finish editing 2) convert to profile for my monitor's profile 3) Save for web...
Color mgmt makes my head swim but I sort of see why this is. But my question is, most places on the web, I see people are just converting to SRGB for the web and I will say that that does not work for me at all. Does that mean they are talking about converting the color space and not the profile?
I admit that my monitor in its uncorrected stated is way off. That is to say, after I run the Spyder software my monitor colors look a LOT different. I shouldn't think this would matter but I'm just throwing it out there. I am a Windows user.
The reason I am asking this is because when I try converting images on export in LIGHTROOM to my monitor profile it does no good. The image looks terrible in the browser.
Am I missing something? Do I have a setting set wrong somewhere or does everybody have to convert to the monitor profile to get stuff to look right in a browser.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe web gallery function in CS5 seems to be completely different in CC.
Original system was Windows XP 32 bit with CS5 PS, that crashed and setup a new system with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and Adobe CC.
The AOM was installed (Adobe Output Module), which apparently is the new web gallery function.
My question is, can the previous data from the CS5 Web Gallery be migrated to the AOM in CC ?
So... I am a bit of an amateur and have been shooting all of pictures in jpeg format. I use Lightroom 4 and Photoshop Cs6 for editing them. I am finally making the switch to raw format. I would like all of my pictures to be in raw or dng to work better with lightroom, so here is my question. Is it possible to convert jpeg fies to raw or dng? Would it be a stupid idea to batch convert all of my jpegs into raw format? Is it even possible?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a card, using a standard layout size of 4.25 x 8.25. I have the resolution set to 300 PPI.
While adding layers, I am also adding in some images to the card for a newborn. The image res is 300 DPI, but once I open the image in PS, then pull it down into the new project, it auto commits to a 72 DPI. I can't for the life of me figure out why it is doing this.
I have tried going into the image>image size and changing it to 300 DPI, but even after I change it, when I go to the file information page, it tells me that the image is still set to 72 DPI.
After creating two adjustment layers and then selecting the background layer, i attempt to convert from RGB color to LAB color but get the following warning: "Changing modes will discard an adjustment layer; change mode anyway?" and if i click on "OK," an adjustment layer disappears. Why does this happen and how can i prevent losing an adjustment layer. i am using CS2 and have a 16 bit image file. (i am converting to LAB in order to sharpen and will subsequently convert back to RGB ).
