View 8 RepliesI have a photo shop header on my website with a two tone or gradient background.
I want to copy or duplicate this header background and put it as the background of a logo image. I want to put the logo on top of the header, but for them to blend, they both need the same two tone or gradient background.
I need some help in recreating a background similar to the one on the Japanese poster for the Grudge as attched here. I want to duplicate the red and black background.

I Have this image so far:
and i need the background area behind the soldiers to span across the whole canvas, creating a gradient and adding the smoke in will take ages and it probably wont look as good as hoped. my clone brush tool doesn't work because of a thing ubuntu has with the alt key, it stops me defining a source point the healing brush gets nowhere but where the Pixels are already not beyond.
I'm currently contemplating grabbing the end witht the select, duplicating it and blurring it, whether or not it looks daft is another matter.
Is there any way to say to PS so it will duplicate X layer to "document -1"? When I record and duplicate it saves it at strictly to Y document not to "document" -1 or +1 or +x.
View 7 Replies View RelatedUnless PS has been updated to make this a feature, i may have found a bug. Now (in CS6 vs. previous versions) when you duplicate a shape layer, if you had previously selected specific points of the shape (for example with the direct selection tool) only those points will be duplicated in the new layer. This is true no matter what tool you are currently using.
What I did was make a rounded-corner rectangle shape -> then direct selected all points on one side to stretch the rectangle without distorting the rounded corners -> then switched to the move tool so no points were selected anymore and only the layer was selected-> duplicate layer (with the intention of duplicating the whole shape). what i got was just the rounded corners on a new layer.
It seems the only way to duplicate the shape layer in its entirety is to go back with the direct select tool -> select ALL points of the whole shape -> change to move tool -> dupe layer.
If that's the intended new functionality, it's a bummer because if you intend to only duplicate certain points, you can already do that while using the direct select tool. Using the move tool, it shows no direct selections and therefore you should be able to duplicate the whole layer.
Maybe I have some weird default option checked that I'm not familiar with? This is not how any previous versions of PS worked and will add friction to my workflow if this is new.
I've just run into another new thing in PS. If you Option (Alt) Click on any previous history state in the history palette (not the latest one) it is copied. I can't imagine what this is good for. Perhaps because I use linear history rather than non-linear history?

My questions for this label are:

How do I add the white stripe in the middle so that the swirls continue to flow through it, although faded in color?
I have a small picture, and I'd like to copy it and paste it a few times, with each new copy following a rounded path. Basically, I want ti copy my image and place the copies in a semicircle formation. Another way of looking at it is I want 5 copies of the image in a line, but I want the line to be curved instead of straight.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIt's duplicating the layer style along with the layer which is fine but now when I change the style on one layer it changes all of those other layers as well. Is there a way to turn this off? I even tried removing the style and adding it new and it still changes the original!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've never had this problem before today but I went to duplicate a layer into another photoshop file I have open, and where you select which .psd you'd like it to duplicate into, the open intended target file was not listed. I could either duplicate it in the same .psd, or I could duplicate it into a new file. I've tried restarting, I've checked for updates...

I have a sample 3d eCover and I want to fit an image over the front part. However, I'm having a hard time transformating my image to perfectly the front layer. Is there any option to apply the same transformation of my front cover layer to my image?
Additional info:
1. The front cover layer of the 3D eCover is not yet merged with the other layers. So, I can still edit it.
2. I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6.
Suddenly when I click on the CS6 clone stamp tool and then ALT Click to select an area to use as the clone are, it duplicates the whole picture. The only way I can get out of the whole picture cloning is to close the file. what has happened and how to fix it?

I would like to make a second version of an 80 page Blurb book I built in Lightroom 5. Can I make a duplicate of the existing book (like a vritual copy, etc) so that I don't have to build the second version from scratch? The first version is an enhanced ebook with video and a lot of double truck images, and the second will be for PDFs, omitting the video pages and 2 page spreads.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI cannot remember what this is called, or where to find it in the menus. It doesn't have the word "duplicate" in it, but it should! You select an object and then go to a dialog box and set up how many times you want to duplicate it vertically or horizontally, and how far apart.
I will certainly write this command down when the answer comes through, but I can tell you it needs a name that sounds like what it is!
I have a simple block with option 1 having title at the left and option having the same title at the right. I can use visibility state should the title be mtext.

I want to create a plug-in that will improve detail in under- and over-exposed areas of photos, but I can't get as far as duplicating a layer. I'm new to GIMP plug-ins. My plug-in below is intended to create a copy of the image's layer and add the layer to the image.
The plug-in will register in Windows 7 (GIMP 2.8) but won't register in Ubuntu 12.04 (GIMP 2.6.12). In Windows, the plug-in gives an error. I don't get an error if I comment out line 8: Code:

View 14 Replies View RelatedI opened a drawing that I had not opened in over a month originally created in AutCAD 2011, and now using 2012. It appears only some of the hatch patterns that I created are now duplicated, and in some cases up to 17 times! When I select the pattern it doesn't show that there are multiple hatches underneath, but when selected it shows in the properties box All(2) or more. One of my patterns was scaled down and rotated 90 degrees and because when I select it it's showing 10 entities selected I cannot scale it back or rotate it without deleting and re-hatching. The .dwg is pretty complex so doing this for every hatch that shows multiple would be very tedious.
View 4 Replies View RelatedEnvironment: Lightroom 4.1, Windows 7, JPG and RAW images
We often work remotely on a laptop, then come back to the studio and transfer images from a shoot to the main PC for further work. Some adjustments in Lightroom were done to some images in the folder already, as well as rating some of the best images.
It seems the recommended way of copying images from a laptop to the main PC is to use the "Export as Catalog" function with the "Export negative files" option turned on. However, when working with hundreds of files, this process takes a very long time, and also duplicates the images on the same laptop in the export location. This doesn't work well when working with 50GB of files, especially when only a few of them have any Lightroom adjustments anyways.
Is there a way to just copy the entire directory structure over to the main PC (copying files is fairly quick over Gigabit Ethernet), and then export only the metadata for the files (or catalog) over to the main PC so I can keep the adjustments?
In other words, instead of having to do this:
1. Export as Catalog
2. Wait a very long time for the laptop to duplicate all the images and export files
3. Re-import this catalog to my Main catalog
4. Wait a very long time for this to happen
It would be WAY faster to just do this:
1. Copy entire folder structure from laptop to main PC (this is quick)
2. Export metadata from these files only
3. Import metadata to new PC
