I have been struggling trying to make stage lights, like those that are on the banner of the url below. It looks like the lights themselevs are done with a gradiant effect, I think the same with the cans. If you look closely, there is actually quite a bit of detail; ie: the metal ring around the light, the smoothness of the metal cans, etc.
I have an immediate need to create stage lights, similar to these, in photoshop. Ideally I will have 3-4 lights on a black background. Is anyone aware of a tutotial on making stage lights, even if they are not as complex as these?
I just purchased and loaded Photoshop CS6. Pictures (actually this is for all content in any layers) will not display at all or only partially display (see picture below). I uninstalled and reinstalled the program but there is no change. The other Adobe products from the Master Suite Collection run fine (Flash, Encoder, etc). I am thinking that my installation disc may be corrupted.
My problem is that in some of my family pictures, there are lights on in the background or bright windows behind the subject. Is there any way to reduce the brightness of ONLY these extremely bright areas without making the rest of the photo too dark?
I have searched for hours and can't seem to find anything that resembles my scenario, although I'm sure that I'm probably just not looking for the right thing in the right place.
Ive had a look around the forum and done a few searches but have been unable to find any reference to creating the effect of Ultraviolet lights, or black light.
im designing a space in 3d studio max and want to light portions of it in UV. ive no idea how to create this in MAX so i thought i may be able to apply it to the renders in PS.
im after that lighting effect where a tube casts a violet light and makes whites and certain colors fluoresce and glow brightly.
I could create christmas lights hang around the border of a banner and make them light up in imageready. I found one tutorial in Good-Tutorials, but the link was dead.
When I save to PNG, Photoshop CS6 x64 tells me its stopped working.I'm running Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate.It began happening after I customized my settings & preferences.
If I hit Ctrl+Alt+Shift when launching everything works fine again.After going through all my settings one by one, saving the settings, exiting photoshop, then restarting photoshop, then trying again.. I think I've Narrowed down the porblem
The problem appears to be Isolated in the "Performance" section of PS's Preferences.
I have drives C, D, E, G, I, J, K, & L .... F & H are my Optical Drives, C, D, E, & G are on one HDD, and I, J, K, & L are on a second HDD
When I selected drives D, E, G, I, J, K, & L as my scratch disks and deslected C:, saved settings, exited PS, restarted, dragged a PNG to stage, Photoshop crashed when opening the PNG
When I added C: back to the list, so I had C, D, E, G, I, J, K, L saved, closed PS, re-opened it and dragged the PNG to stage, it crashed again
When I deleted all other drives but C:, saved, exitted, restarted and dragged a PNG to stage, it worked fine again.
When I went through them one by one, adding a drive at a time, I found that drives I, J, & L cause Photoshop to crash.. I, J, K, & L are on the same single physical HDD, but the Partition K: on that Physical Drive works fine in Photoshop
Its apparent this is the problem, as even without restarting Photoshop, dragging in a PNG works fine, simply adding one of these 3 partitions to the list, and hitting ok, will cause it to crash when dragging in the same PNG after saving the preferences
That same Physical drive also is set to Compress files to save more space, but if K also works, its likely not that.i'll check the drives for errors..
I have the Cs5 Master Suite and just installed my new Wacom Intuos3 tablet. I'm running on a Windows 7. Before installing Photoshop never had a problem starting up - now it crashes without fail every time. I tried uninstalling the Wacom, rebooting, running a virus check, blah blah blah, but nothing works. Photoshop crashes every time, whether or not the tablet is plugged in or installed now.
I'm editing a photo of my friend playing a musical instrument. The photo is completely black except for him and the picture is of his profile. I want to add realistic stage lights without the corney lensflare effect. The lights would be added to appear as if the camera is looking right into them.
I have downloaded the trial version of CS4. When installing the download stops at the Initializing stage with Checking System Profile bar stuck at 90%.
The PC has CS3 and Lightroom installed and both run well. The PC has 500 GB HD and 3 GB of ram I have tried to install with and without the virus checker switched on. I have tried also as Administrator, I have run both Win install clean up and the CS4 Clean Script.
I cannot get any lights to appear in my 3d scenes until I begin rendering. I have installed all updates. In fact, this started when I installed the Creative Cloud update back in December. Also, how do I get rid of the annoying IBL preset?
how accurate this looks, shall i go for removing the remaining text or should i generate a new background. i want an exact grey background without the text, i dont know how to work in photoshop at all[URL]...
I am currently designing a new map for a planet i am designing, however i want to add some city lights to it so in the dark, it looks like it is actually populated, much like most pictures of the earth, showing both the light and dark side (because of my post count i can't insert a link to an image but hopefully you get what i mean) .
At the moment i don't have any lights, how do i get this effect.
So when I open a file that's say, 100px x 100px, usually the PS window would be gray except for a 100pxX100px white square, which is, of course, the stage. However, now instead of the gray outer region (whatever that's called), it is showing as if it was transparent. When I drag the doc window to resize it, the stage is "duplicated" randomly while the transparent outer region continues to grow. I've attached a screen shot. The white block below is the stage. The rest is inaccessible. Also, if I use the Type tool, the screen flickers to its inverse with each keystroke.
I'm using an infinite light on a text extrusion in CS6. Is it possible to change the size of the gimbal display or move it to another part of the canvas ?The icon is really large and it's getting in the way of the object view
Any way to create an action that will go through an entire document and deactivate ALL "Use Global" light angles, and set them to 90º? How to automate this process.
When I open any NEF file from a Nikon D7000 the fluorescent lights appear bright red. As I work with the image and eventually open the image into the normal Photoshop Elements 11 editor, the lights appear proper. Is this a known issue?
I accidentally deleted the “Five Lights Up” Style. How can I restore it to the Style list in the program? “Five Lights Up” is still included in the Photoshop/Plug-ins/Filters/Lighting Style folder.
I have a backup of the C drive before deleting. Is there a file that can be replaced from the backup?
I have this very large scene that has 109 lights. I'm tweeking a portion of the scene and it would be real handy to be able to turn all the lights (except a few) off to speed rendering times. I don't know of a way to do this and doubt its possible without a script or something.
I drawn beyond the stage in Illustrator CS6 and i saved the file in .pdf with the possibility to change it again in Illustrator. Now i can't open it in Illustrator CS6 (two different files same error). I can open the files only in Illustrator CS5 but i can see only the stage.
