I have a PSD file created in Photoshop, which basically has some text, say, 'Hello World'.
I have noticed that I can open PSD files in GIMP, and it recognises the layers. In this case, 1) background layer 2) text layer.
However, I cannot seem to edit the text layer, for example, I'd like to change it to, 'Hello DevShed'.
A company that works with graphic design uses Photoshop and always sends me their work in PSD files.
I read in another post that having them Rasterize the file will work with text editing and presenting the colors properly in GIMP. I was wondering if this is all it takes to be able to edit/rework a PSD files in GIMP? Are there plugins I need or other steps I can take take or am I just going to have to use photoshop?
Import a pdf-file that only contains (scanned) images [book pages]. Rotate them (okay I can do this). Seperate and/or crop them (I can do this but my way is so complicated). Export back into a single pdf file. (I can't do this).
Usually I have a scanned book. So sometimes there are two pages on one image. To have an easier readability I like to seperate those. So what I do is:
- I cut/crop the page out of the image with the two pages
- I place that in a new layer
- I rotate that layer if needed (I use the transform tool, but it is a bit difficult to tell if the text is perfectly rotated, in Photoshop there is an automatic tool, is there one in gimp?)
- I go on with the next page
Problem is that layers are not of the same size. So I have to drag them around to have them (layers) all centered. Also image quality is much lower after importing it to gimp. How do I figure the original resolution of the image saved in the pdf? When I have them all in new layers exporting them to pdf will always result in one single page with only the first layer.
So is there an easier way to do this? Also why does exporting not work?
I'm using Gimp 2.8 on Ubuntu 12.04.
I've purchased a template pre-made and I'm editing the graphics. They come with supposedly editable .psd's
When I open it up it's the entire template of graphics. No individuals. They're advice is to select a certain layer and save for the web as the file I need after editing. Well, when doing this it saves the entire template, not just the file I need.
Is there any way to edit a layered .png file in Photoshop CS2?
I've got a layered .png file, and when I open it in Photoshop it's just one flat image.
If Photoshop can't open the file and preserve the layers, does anyone know Fireworks can save the .png as a layered .psd file that I can then edit?
I edit my raw files in CS5. Then I saw as JPEG, and upload to be developed. Once the pictures are uploaded they look like I never edited them at all. What am I doing wrong. This does not happen if I edit a JPEG file.

how do i make small files without going and editing each one?
We have come across a problem using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 on a MAC. We use Illustrator CS6 for putting together the graphics and use Photoshop CS6 for editing. When we save the image in full res and browse the image - the image looks grainy both on a Mac and a PC.

View 5 Replies View RelatedThis problem only occurs with files that I have been imported from cd's/dvd's into the libraryand I get the msg "Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file for editing. It will not be opened." Files that are stored on my hard drive have NO PROBLEM in being edited. .
I am new to Lightroom and currently using it on the 30 day trial I have been using PSE for a long time and have over 90,000 images in Organizer and all of my images are on cd's/dvd's, very few are stored on the hard drive.
I have a bunch of random files named *MVM_*.tmp randomly split between my second internal drive and a portable drive (or more if another external drive is connected) when editing or opening a .GIF file in PS CS5.
These files make it impossible to remove the portable drive without first saving my work and closing PS (once I had to reboot in order to remove the drive). Also, often as not, some of the files remain on the portable drive.
No 3rd party plugins, just vanilla PS. I saw another thread but that was about PNG files (this happens too), not GIFs.
Also happens when Liquify tool is used.
Editing jpeg files with Photoshop Elements 10 corrupts the files so they cannot be viewed on a TV, how do I rectify this - the software as it stands is completely useless as I want to present slideshows to a number of people simultaneously via the TV. On initial use this didn't happen but it does now even after we reinstalled the programme.

When I try to open one of the images from my Nikon d5200, I see a pop up that says I need Camera Raw documentation. I assume that this means a download. Looked at the list available & did not find one
I've attached a file example. Is it possible to edit that text. Or only delete that text layer, and replace it with new text?
View 3 Replies View Related I have been using it to create graphics for the pin-back buttons I make. I have been using the Photoshop 1" button template located on this page:[URL]
The template has the words "perimeter text" that follows the inside of a path on the template. In the video demo on the same page in which the user used photoshop to demonstrate, she just hovers over the text with the mouse after selecting the text tool and is able to click on it and just change the exsisting text. I have not found this to be the case using Gimp. Is there a way I can easily edit this text, or do I have to create my own text along the path? If I have to create my own text along the path, how do I make it so the text follws in inside edge of the path?

Is there a way to select a layer for editing other than by clicking on it in the layer panel?
I currently have a >200MB xcf file with nearly 100 different layers which I need to adjust before I merge then down a bit. I have found that you can find where the layer is in the list by holding the left mouse button down while hovering the cursor over it, but it always then disappears off the screen and it's a chore trying to find it. I have all the layers named, but it would be a lot more convenient if there was a way to select the layer through the image itself?
How can I remove the background from this image [URL]....... so that it is ready for editing in with a new background (need to create a mag front cover using this image).
View 2 Replies View RelatedOne set is light, and the other is "dark," so to speak. Just wondering what filters and what not are used. I am aware that a lot of it comes from the actual lighting itself while the photo is being taken. I am just wondering what is being used and how this is done.
The "light" photos some "pin-up" technique, I am guessing. (Moti Malul Photography):

The "dark" photos. I am guessing a lot of dodge and burn, but to what extent?
I installed Gimp successfully last night, but right clicking in the images in Windows Explorer does not bring up Gimp as an option to open for editing, even when I browse for it, nor is it an option for editing from Picasa which I use to organise my photos.

I can't seem to change the text layer in this logo I have attached. I thought if I click on the layer I would be able to change spelling. Do I have to delete the layer and add a new one?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to do a glow effect on a logo that I am working on.. the problem is that all the tutorials I've seen are for single text boxes. I will need to have different sizes and fonts so it requires more than one text box. I can edit the first text box to where I can "path from text," add a new layer, "select from path," create an outline using the "grow" effect and then blur the it so it looks like a soft edge with a different color than the text. I would like to do this for each text box, but when I add a new layer for a new letter and attempt to "select from path" it will only highlight the letter that I've already completed with the glow effect. I'm thinking I will have to save the file each time I create a new glow letter and reopen as a new file to add one more glow letter... but is there a faster way? I've attached a screen shot... the whole logo will read like this:
Affiliated
Wellness
Group
The A,W, and G will be larger and in a different font than the lowercase letters when its done. SO I will have 6 text boxes total.
