I was working on a digital painting. I went a few states back in the historty palette and acidentally clicked on the snapshot at the top which brought me back to my original document, I have done hours of work since then! This wiped all of my history clean, how to get back to the last state I was in before I made the wrong click.
View 13 RepliesI am new to digital painting, and would like to get to know it better. Right now, I want to mimic the style of the attached image. My question is: how do I archive this look? (i.e. what brushes do I use, what tools? Blur? Smudge? etc.) (I am using CS5)
View 1 Replies View Relatedi'm speaking of painting with a tablet from scratch using brushes. i need something thorough. i've been looking but can only find concise tutorials that really don't tell me much.
i've sort of hit a road block. smudging colors together isn't getting it done for me anymore.
I was just wondering for photoshop how much pixelsfor canvas size everybody is used to using?
Â
I use photoshop (previously 7, CS3 in office, recently upgraded to CC) to draw comic strips, and quite often I just keep expanding the canvas vertically as I draw more panels.Now, of course common sense would dictate that the larger the file the slower your photoshop gets. I just noticed today that one of my files is getting sluggish, and yup, the height has gotten to 14000 pixels. Better crop that thing before it gets to the point I can't even open the file anymore. So I was just wondering if there was any rule around as to how big a file can get before it's too big to operate on photoshp.
I have an Orite C8020 Digital cam 8.0 Megapixel , the images from it kinda oil painted type
As you can see pixels look like kinda dsplaced if you zoom in .
It has two noticable settings
1. Exposure = (auto) and +1 + 2 +3 etc. and -1 -2 -3 etc
2. While Balance = (auto) ( daylight ) ( flourcent ) and one more I can't remember
Image quality is also set to fine
and resolution is on 1280 x something
I'm really disappointed by it's results like this. Is this the fault of camera ? or just the setting ?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am working on a project for my online class and am having difficulties with the History Brush. Note that both files are identical in size etc.
Â
1. I created a color text file and saved it with a specific name.
Â
2. I copied an existing photo from iPhoto, as I couldn't import into PhotoShop, and pasted it in a new file. I then removed the white background layer and then saved it with its now specific name and closed the file.
Â
3. I re-opened the Color Text File.
Â
4. I then re-opended my photo.
Â
5. I performed a "Select All" from the menu bar of my active Photo then selected Edit - Copy and then closed my Photo file.
Â
6. From my Color Text File I selected Edit and then Paste from the menu bar.
Â
7. I selected Layer and Flatten Image from the menu bar.
Â
8. I right clicked the background image from the Layers Panel and created a snapshot (which is my photo)
Â
9. I selected the History brush and verified that this also displayed in the gray box associated with the Color Text file within the History Panel.
Â
10. I verified that my photo image was displayed in my work area.
Â
11. I start to fill the photo with my History Brush and the only color I get is White.
here is a simple way to start practicing organic painting in photoshop using greyscale. I have used this same technique on all of my digital paintings.
1. Start with a medium grey as the background color. you can go to edit/fill/ then select 50% grey, or just double click the black brush color and select a grey halfway between the white and the black.
This will the the middle ground for the entire painting.
2. Take the elliptical marquee tool (the top left corner of the tool pallet.)
on your canvas hold shift and click and drag to make a perfect circle on the background.
Create a new layer and name it shadows.
Start to paint using a soft, 5% opacity brush around the bottom of the circle where the shadow would be if it were a sphere... start really light and work big. then as it gets darker work smaller and more detailed. i start with a brush size of around 125.
when your done it should look like this (it should not be totally black anywhere)
3. Create a new layer and name it highlights.
on this layer do the same as you did with the shadow but on the top side of the sphere using white. Add white where the light source would be hitting it . work large and work your way dont to smaller detailed areas (there should not be much detail with a sphere.)
4. Now after this is finished open a new layer and name it shadow and glow. you can add a shadow below the sphere. what i did was use the elliptical marquee tool to create an oval what would be the shadow of the sphere. after you paint the shadow, erase the part of the shadow that you can see over the sphere. ten ad a blur to it. you can use the gaussian blur and mess with the sliders untill you find one you like. the shadow must line up with the light source. for example if the light source is on the right side the shadow cannot be on the right side. once yo have the elliptical marquee selected fill it in with a 5% opacity brush untill it is dark enough to match the shadow on the lower side of the sphere.
also, some things you can do is add a bit of glow around the top of the sphere. this will be the light that is bouncing off the top. also add some highlight to the bottum of the sphere. this is where the light will bounce up from under the sphere . both of these highlights, or glows should be very subtle.
I think it'd be so cool to be able to replay your entire undo history of a picture, so you can see and show others how you proceeded on a picture you made. That way, it's never necessary to capture screen video for like 10 hours and stuff..
So first you'd need to add an option to save the undo history (so that you always keep the history from when you started). Then you'd need an option to playback the undo history.
I am trying to learn layers and layer masks. I loaded an image, than control J to duplicate it. I then added a layer mask. Everything good so far. I then went to filters chose a blur. Then went to brushes with black as my foreground color, I just wanted to brush away the blur, and got an error message. "could not use the history brush because the history state does not have a corresponding layer."
View 3 Replies View RelatedEverytime I try to use my history brush, that error pops up and I have no clue why. If I try to just open a blank document and use the brush it does not give me this error and I can "use" the brush but you cant see anything on the project.
so when this error happens im trying to do a project and say I place a file(picture) into the project and this is the very first thing I do. I place it, then I size the image down some. I then make a new layer to use the brush for behind the picture and then this is when I get the error. I have no clue what is wrong
I can only see how to delete the entire history in the history panel. Is there a way I can remove only selected states? I am using LR 1.4.
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo after 7 solid hours of tedious UI work I was in the middle of nudging a text layer and my whole document completely disappeared. Photoshop (CC) didnt crash, it didn't populate a new window and I didn't close it, it just vanished. It's not in the recent file list and I can't find it anywhere on my computer.
Â
I have autosave set to every 10 minutes, so I'm wondering if these autosaved files are located anywhere on my computer? Photoshop normally recovers my documents after its daily crash but as it didn't crash in this case there is nothing to be recovered!
I created two adjustment layers in a PSD image and saved the image without
flattening.
Now I have reopened the image and would like to modify the adjustments.
I do not see the layers.
How are the existing adjustment layers to be accessed in the open image?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm on photoshop 7.0, which I've had for a while. I only had the windows layers & channels up , while I was working on some avatars, but then all of a sudden they just both disappear - out of the blue. So I think okay, I'll get them back, and click window >> layers. But both layers AND channels were still ticked, I unticked them and ticked layers again. But they still didn't become visble.. PLUS it wouldn't let be select them both at the same time. All the other windows, like paths, swatches etc still work fine, just layer and channel being a pain in the back side.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a project open in a 3d view to paint on a 3d mesh. Everything is fine until I save, close, and reopen. When I open the file to resume I can no longer paint on the model. I can still go to the UV (flat) view for any of the materials on the model but I can't paint on the mesh in 3d view.
Â
I can open a new 3d layer, re-import the mesh, save and reapply all the previously painted texture to the new mesh layer and keep working but this seems not a very efficient work-flow.
Â
I don't think many 3d pros actually use this piece of PS for texturing.This is the first time I've tried the 3d functionality of PS so I may just be overlooking something.
I was painting on top of a picture I took, with the Art History brush one day adding an oil painting look to it (I was working on a new layer and not the layer with my photo on it), at end of the day I saved my work I had done so far and quit the program. The next day, I went to continue my work. When I loaded my work, added a new layer for a new section of the painting I wanted to do. The Art History just painted in white instead of adding the oil painting effect I got the previous day. I picked the same brush presets and the colors on my palette were set to the default colors (the way they were the day before). so that I can continue on with my painting?

Any good way to make cartoon characters using photoshop.
Is there a way to create selection just the same way like you may paint with brush (instead to draw with color to "draw with selection")?
