how do I create a gradient using my own colors? I've recently upgraded form CS3 where I was able to just drag a colour swatch onto the gradient slider to set the colour. Now I can't do that. If I try with one of the default colors it works no problem but if I create my own swatch then I get a circle with a line through it saying I can't do it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to take some text and modify the color of it toward the bottom of the text. This is to only change text color- not background. I've found several docs including here saying
"In the toolbox at the bottom of the text tool option click "Path from text" ".
As well as the following Instruction:
It seem with this information I should be able to do it but I can't find Path from Text anywhere. then there is the idea of blend vs gradient.. which is which?
anyone got any tips on creating text custom letters or text?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble creating a custom palette in Draw X6. I am trying to import (or create) a palette of a range of threads I use. There are around 300 swatches to create. I had this palette in Illustrator that I created from a CSV file using a script. It is in RGB colors. I need to have the swatch and thread number in the palette.
First, is there a way to convert a csv/xls/txt file into an palette xml file to make the palette automatically as I did in Illustrator?
Second, doing it manually is giving me trouble. I am following the below directions from the manual:
To create a custom color palette from scratch
1. Click Window Dockers Color palette manager.
2. Click the Creates a new empty color palette button.
3. Type a file name in the File name box.
4. Click Save.
5. In the Color palette manager, choose the custom palette that you created.
6. Click the Opens the Palette editor button.
7. In the Palette editor dialog box, click Add color.
8. In the Select color dialog box, choose a color, and click Add to palette.
I've gotten to Step 7, but there's where everything goes badly, When I add a color, the Select Color box comes up, and I choose the Models tab and choose an RGB. All my thread colors are in RGB. I can then input the RGB values in the cvs table, however, when I try to name the color with the thread color number (say "2005 - Petal Yellow"), it changes the RGB values to something else and changes the color in the preview box. It's like there is no way to give the color my own custom name. If I just bypass the naming and try to Add To Palette, it either tells me the color is already in the palette or I can't add any more because I've reached the maximum allowable entries....in a blank new palette file? Any color I choose from any of the pickers, or anything I enter in the value boxes just ends up with an error message.
I've checked the xml file of the new, supposedly blank, palette, and there are no colors or code, so what am I missing? Why can't I just input the color RGB values, name it, and add it? I can use the color picker to add colors to the palette, and after saving, that does show up in the xml file, but I don't have a document of color swatches, only a CSV. There's got to be a better way then making all the swatches in Draw, and also using the color picker on each one to make the palette.
I created a card with a colored panel and a white background. I then typed my name along the junction of the panel and background and as I typed the top half of the letters were the panel color and the bottom half of the letters was white.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been a faithful photoshop user for quite some time now, but today I got wickedly impressed by this tiny software that features this awesome specular highlighting technique that photoshop does not do by default.This software is called "Art Text 2"H! I had prepared some image links but cause I'm so new I can't put them.[URL]...
As you can see, the bevel reflection is created using the specular information of the "sphere map". Furthermore the program allows you to change the sphere map highlights interactively, and even choose your own image sphere maps. This is just amazing, isn't it? Creating realistic metal text or things is just super easy with this. I think everyone of us has had problems doing realistic metal effects on photoshop, am I wrong?
In Photoshop you have the "bevel and emboss" style feature, and it works pretty well, but it isn't made for say: reflecting a window on the beveled text.Sphere maps are commonly used in gaming to simulate realistic reflection of 3d objects, and I can think of a million ways of using this technique on 2d. way of simulating this sphere map reflection on layers on Photoshop?
I'm trying to create a custom stamp in Photoshop. Done it with a 16 bits colorspace, saved as TIFF with the required options from the official documentation.
Why do i get a 'grainy' result, even painting with a 100% strength white color ? It happens only on a bump layer. On a diffuse layer, its ok.
Do the bump layer use a 8bits color space ???
What I would like to do is create a custom dialogue for each of 3 or 4 standard sketch symbols we use on a regular basis. I'd like to load 'suggsted' values out of an excel spreadsheet and allow the user to pick from them or enter in a custom text string if required. The values would then become part of the sketch symbol.
I've spent some time looking into iLogic rules and I think I've determined that they're not flexible enough to do what I want.
If I'm correct, it is possible (or a good idea) to do this using a VBA macro? I'm a little hesitant to go down the full blown add-in route. While I'm pretty confident I could work it out.
I have CS5. The bugs and broken features in AICS6, make it unusable in my workflow.
I am specifically concerned about the inability to drag global color swatches from the color panel to Gradient stops in the Gradient Panel. I use this method to update a gradient color because I find it MUCH faster than option-dragging to duplicate a stop color, then deleting the unused stop. Since I do this constantly, I find using CS6 very tedious.
When creating text, can not seem to get any color but black. Grab text with text tool, chose a new foreground color, foreground color will change, text color in options bar will change, but text stays black.
If trying to gradiate the text. Again, I choose a color, pick the gradient tool, set the type of gradient, all looks good, new color with white background, but still it comes out as new color and black. Have try making the foreground white with new background color, but still only get black.
Is there a way to change the font color when using Custom Text in the print module?

How do you make custom gradient using Photoshop 6.0? As in, selecting specific colors to make into a gradient?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy question is about gradients and anti-aliasing. I'm using PS 7.0 and what I want to do is use the custom shape tool, and fill the shape with a gradient. Not difficult, but here's where I get caught. After the shape is filled, I'd like the edges to remain anti-aliased.
For example, if I use the custom shape tool to create a hand print with anti-aliased edges, then use the magic want to select it. Next I grab my fore and back colors, choose a linear gradient and drag it in the appropriate direction. The selected shape is filled the way I want, but when I deselect, the edges have become pixelated. Is there a way to avoid this and keep them smooth? I tried using the blur tool and blur filter, but they don't quite have the same look.
is there any way in photoshop cs to create a gradient mask inside of a certain shape, so that the gradient is black on the edges and turns white when it reaches inner parts of the shape?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI shot a TV set and we decided to add a white to transparent gradient on the otherwise black TV screen to create depth for shaping.
What I did was create a circular gradient in the top left corner of the TV set. It has been set to go from White to Transparent. Then I reduced the opacity to around 40% to make it seem more realistic. The problem is that there are very visible bands from where it starts to where it fades out. These are visible from 100% opacity and downwards. I want the transitions to be smooth smooth smooth My Layer Blend mode is set to normal Will changing the blend mode help? I did try to use different blend modes and nothing changed.

when i right click within the editor area also, most things are greyed out making it unclickable.
I have not created a document yet and would like some thought on how to do this: I want to use a continuous tone black and white image which is somewhat close to what would be a 'knockout' but with soft edges - so it gradates appropriately over the background image I want to use, making the black part of the image used as the mask become much of the effect of a gradient mask: the background image shows through whereever there is the 'black' and 'tone' of the image.
my first thought is to create a layer mask and then paste the black and white image onto that, but I'm not sure if that will work to accept the 'soft tones' of the image and work appropriately. What steps I should take to make this effect work?
I was making a website and I wanted to make a pattern that looks like one color turning into another color by way of small circles increasing in size. I've created a small mock-up of the type of effect that I want to make, and what is the name of the effect, or how to do it. But for some reason it doesn't let me post the image.
View 2 Replies View Relatedis there any possibility in GIMP to align a text not vertically at the bottom of a text box (there are options for left, right, center and fill but that's only the horizontal alignment). The motivation is, that I change a text in an image quite often and it whould "align itself" if it whould always be aligned at the bottom of the textbox.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to fade text from top to bottom using a path I have always followed, but isn't working now:
1. Select the layer the text is on
2. Create Fill or Adjustment Layer > select Gradient from the drop-down menu
3. Click on the Gradient bar to bring up the options
4. Adjust opacity, direction, colour > OK
When I create the Fill or Adjustment layer and select Gradient, the gradient is applied to the whole document rather than just the text on the layer I've selected.
My text is white against a blue background..I have tried selecting the gradient "Foreground to Transparent", but can't get past the stage where that is applied to the whole document.
I'm trying to make the blue bottom portion of this wall match the top off-white portion. I try to paint over the blue with the color replacement tool, having set my brush to match the top wall, but when it overpaints the blue, I'm getting a much darker gray that doesn't match.
