Photoshop :: Dark Interface - Negative Brush Panel?
Jun 2, 2012
Is there any way to keep the dark interface but have the brush preview images still be black on white as opposed to white on black? The white on black is so hard to read. As much as I love the dark interface, I had to go back to light gray.
From the Brush Presets Panel, I choose Basic Brushes from the drop down menu. Then Replace. The new choice of brushes appear in the Brush Panel and in the Brush Presets Panel.
But in the Brush Panel, additional brushes appear.
There are always more brushes in the Brush Panel than the Brush Presets Panel whenever I Replace. The Brushes Preset Manager is populated with identical brushes as the Brush Presets Panel. What determines the additional brushes that appear in the Brush Panel?
In CS5 I have the interface set up so that the windows dock but when there are no windows open you can see the desktop.
In CS6 there is this big ugly black panel on show all the time Have tried to compare the setting but cannot see any options that are fundermentally different.
Can I remove this background and if so how to do this.
Here is an example of my issue, when brush strokes overlap, a darker color is created:
I'm trying to brush with one flat color, with no overlaping effect. Here is a photo of what I'm trying to do, but this example was done with the pencil tool. I want to do this with the brush..I'd like to be able to switch from the top style to the bottom style when needed.
I have just installed Photoshop CS4. When I try to use the spot healing box on a dark background,the target area is invisible as the target circle is black, as is the background. It's like trying to find a black cat in a coal mine.
The spot and healing brush seems to work a little, but then leaves dark smudges or even complete dark lines. Also seems to pick up other objects in the picture as if it is copying a section of the picture. Have tried to reset, but nothing works.
n CS3 I could change the size of thumbnails to be large, but in CS5 it only allows me to do that from the upper bar (left side top). I can barely see the brush imags on the palette (right side). How do I change them also? Here are the two screenshots showing how dramatically different the sizes are. In CS3 I could adjust them with the down arrow on the palette, but that option is not available on CS5. (See 3rd and 4th screenshot of cs3 versus cs5.) CS3 has "large thumbnail option).
whenever I try to use my brush too the brush panel pops up over the cursor forcing me to hit undo or click elsewhere to remove it. This is every stroke of the brush- not when I first switch to that tool. This was not a proble 24 hours ago until I upgaded to PhotoshopCC! I have gone through the preferences menu and made every change to the brush panel that I could. But it still happens. I am on a pc with window8 and 16ram and a Cintiq21.
I would like to know if there is a way to see the names of the brushes used in the History Panel?? All it says is "Add brush stroke" I that if you click on the brushes dots on the photo that you can see which brush is used, but I hate editing with those on, so I turn them off. Which means I have to do several clicks just to see what brushes I have already used. It would be so useful to just be able to see in my history which ones I used especially when you have to stop editing before you are totally finished with the photo and come back to it later.
My friend has taken some engagement photographs and unfortunately the couple have dark hair and the background is also dark - I think you can see her problem with the photos. Somehow the background needs to be lightened and neither of us know how (we both have Photoshop 7)
Is there a reason why I can not open the actions panel from the timeline when I have the code panel docked and open in application frame? If I close the code panel I can view the actions panel. Why can't I have both open?
I have a digital camera and want to get a poster size print done. The places that I talk to though, say that they need a negative. Can I invert the image in Photoshop and print on a transparency? Does anyone have any suggestions?
What filter do I use to take a picture I have and make it look like a negative? I just want to flip all the colors from what they are to there opposites. Black to white, white to black?
When I save artwork as a tiff or jpeg, the preview appears in the negative or reversed color. It opens up fine in Photoshop, but why does it not view correctly in my documents as a thumbnail?
In Step #9 it mentions negative values and Photoshop CS5 does not allow negative values ? It mentions a diameter setting, which got replaced by a size setting in CS5, once again I can't enter in negative values ?
Is there a way to convert from Canon Raw to Adobe Digital Negative (dng) while retaining the file name? For instance, I would like for "IMG_1709.CR2" to become "IMG_1709.dng" rather than New "File01.dng". Currently, it seems to force me into choosing a new file name. I want the file to be converted but want to retain the portion of the filename that appears in front of the "." (dot).
when i open a photo and begin work on it in photoshop CS5, a negative image appears over the photo and moves with my cursor----that means i can't use the tools.
I am photographing 2 1/4 negatives with a CANON 50D and macro lens. Then in Photoshop CS3 I was looking for the filter to convert the negative film file into a positive file so I can work on it with Adobe and then print in on my Canon printer.. I have tried to sample the orange base color and take that out and then invert and then increased the contrast curve.
