I want to keep the width pixel size the same but change the height of the background layer (canvas). When I unchecked constrain proportions and choose reshape, of course the proportions are off on the layers within and when I try to resize each of those layers, they become blurry.
View 3 RepliesFor some reason the Constrain proportions option is greyed out.
View 3 Replies View RelatedNew user of Elements 10. I am trying to change an image size but NOT keep the current height/width ratio.
When I go into the Image Size option box, the Constrain proportions box is ticked, so when I change the width, the height automatically alters to a new figure (say 100 x 50 becomes 200 x 100)
What I need to do is to have different sizes (say 100 x 50 to become 200 x 160). I realise that the image will look wrong, but this is not a problem, in fact it is what I am trying to achieve.
What do I have to do to be able to uncheck this option within the Image Resize dialogue box.
In a previous version of Photoshop, that I had access to, this was achieved by simply un-ticking the option.
How do I re activate the "Constrain Proportions" feature when it is "greyed out".
Trying to re-size a photo in old Photoshop version with the magnifying glass logo.
I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled the free to use version of CS2 on my PC. I'm running 32 Bit Windows 7. Since the install Photoshop will not allow me to use Shift+ Cursor to resize with constrained proportions. When I press Shift the cursor freezes and I am unable to move it no matter how hard I press on the track pad. If I resize and then press shift the image will square out. It appears that only the scroll function is disabled.

I can use shift to type upper case within Illustrator, but its not allowing me to size things proportionally. I searched within many option and menus and googled this problems without any resolution.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHave you ever had shift not work when trying to constrain proportions while scaling in illustrator CS5? I have seen some other posts on this and they mentioned quitting entourage or disabling your firewall as a fix. I am not running Entourage nor am behind a firewall. I also reset my preferences.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am brand new to anything PhotoShop. I have created a talk balloon that I plan on putting it on a photo. I have the text on it already. However, the area outside of the balloon must be tranparent. I made it transparent pixel by pixel. There must be an easier way. So my two questions are:
1. How to make an area of a picture or layer transparent?
2. How to resize a layer or .jpg picture or any picture that can be edited by PS Elements 12
Tried to include the talk balloon file but it failed because of the content.
I am trying to animate a layer on top of a background, I've made the background layer the first in the back but when I animate it dissapeers. I can use one of the stock backgrounds from the library and it stays in thebackground while the other gif layers work fine. I want to use my jpg photo as the background, have it remain there while the animated gif runs,
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I open a photo in the editor, the background layer is locked with a transparent pixels locked lock, instead of the all pixels locked lock. How do I change it back to the default?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI cannot unlock a background in layers, nor did I ever ask it to lock. The next step is a small fire.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased elements 12. When using layers, I noticed the background layer was only partially locked and not fully locked as I was assuming it should be. I couldn't find anywhere that I could change this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to move a feathered photo (using cookie cutter) from the Elements screen to a colored page word document. I can move it OK. It is feathered. But it still has a square white background surrounding the feather. When I look at the Layer panel , the transparent added layer is showing nothing. The selection did not appear on the layer. But the background is feathered.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a photo collage by scratch (not using "Collage"). First I create a new blank page for the background and save it. It is shown as "locked" with a padlock. Then I open an image file (.jpg) to add to the background layer, and I get a message that I need to unlock the background layer so I click to unlock it. However the added image locks onto the background layer and doesn't make a new layer. If I open another image file it locks on top of the others.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I create an image layer (say 1.5 x 1.5 inches) and when I set that image onto a background (say 2.5 x 2.5 inches) the image expands to the larger background size.
Why? Or what am doing wrong that would cause this to happen. I recently upgraded from PSE 9 to PSE 12. This was never an issue with PSE 9.
Layer doesn't align vertically with background.
View 3 Replies View RelatedStarted working with PSE and when I tried to "stamp" a brush shape (whether default brushes or otherwise), the program does something it had never done before....SEE ATTACHED. I will create a new layer to use my brush, but when I try to "stamp" it onto background, the program then creates a layer mask where I can see the brush shape AND a new layer, however ALL that shows up on the background is the icon you can see in my screen grab I am attaching here. What is this icon? (The teeny one middle right of image, black square, outlined in red, with two red circles in the middle) I called Apple, we did a few things, they said it wasn't on there end. I reset my tools, I uninstalled, reinstalled, to no avail. Again, I've reset all tools, the "eye" icon on layers panel shows it should be visible, I've tried layers-->merge visible, I've uninstalled and reinstalled.....
View 2 Replies View RelatedI made a wax seal on Photoshop with a lot of embossment, bedevilment and a Smart Filter. It's done and I just need to make it smaller so it fits well on my certificate. When I resize it (Ctr + T) It pops up a message that reads:
______________________________________________
Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended
"Smart Filters applied to layers contained in this group will be turned off temporarily while the transform is being previewed. They will be applied after committing the transform."
OK
[] Don't show again
______________________________________________
I click OK and I re-size the layer with free transform, and then hit enter. The Layer is resized but my Smart Filter which creates a wavy affect around the seal is totally distorted.
How do re-size my layer with smart filter without affecting the smart filter aspect of the layer.
I am creating subway art and am creating various templates. I would like it so that when I have a text box with a 5 letter word, and I want to enter a longer word, they all fit and just kind of smush together rather than me having to fix the text boxes constantly.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to make a composite image with source images making up the various layers (so I can work my magic on each layer indepent of the others). The problem I have is that not all of the images I'm using are to the right scale. What I want to do is resize those layers that are too big. Here's an example...
Let's say I have 5 pictures that I want to use to make one composite image from. The main background layer will be made from an image that is, say 800x600.
Another picture (let's call this subject 1) is 600x600 and is already at the right scale if I cut out the portion I want to keep and lay it on top of the background layer.
Yet another picture (subject 2) is huge (think 2000x2000). I would like to cut out the portion I would like to use and drop it in as a new layer and then obviously re-size it down to the correct scale. I'd prefer to do this directly in the composite image I'm making on its own layer to ensure I get the size right (and without manipulating the image guess-work style before I cut/paste it in).And so on...
I've found ways to make the canvas bigger (not what I want to do)... but not anything on how to resize the images on individual layers without impacting the other layers. Is there a way to do this?
When I put photo's from my camara (Olympus C5060) on my computer, they have a doc. dimension of about 22" in Width and about 17" in Height, at 72dpi.
Then, if I want to change it to 300dpi for printing, the size will go to about 5" and 4", and I can accept that. But should I Uncheck Resample Image to keep the quality?
resize this image into a resolution of 1280x768 (height = 1280px, width = 768px) and keep the blank background. I know the original 'X' is in a square shape so I'm unsure if it can be put into this vertical rectangle shape. I want the four coloured bars to continue into each of the corners and also do another copy with a sort of glossy reflective look applied to the colours if possible. Maybe also as the image is being enlarged, make the bars slightly wider so they don't look long and skinny
View 5 Replies View RelatedThis may be a simple process but I just can't find how I can do it. Not even in the help document.
How can I resize of the image in a single layer without changing the other layers?
How can I flip the image in a single layer without affecting the other layers?
I know how to do that for the whole image but not for a single layer.
my default process is Adobe RGB. If I save a RAW image (Nikon D200) as a jpeg after adjustments in PS5.5, and I uncheck the "save as Adobe RGB" box, will the image be saved as an sRGB jpeg?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe problem is about the layer style blending options in Photoshop. I like to work in high resolution big canvases when I paint, and once in a while I like to use the style options on some layers, like... drop shadow, outer glow, stroke, color overlay and all that stuff. ..But everytime I flatten, resize or rasterize the image the layer style either changes or dissapears!
Here's an example:
In the first image I've used bevel&emboss, outer glow, and drop shadow.
In the second image it's how it looks like when I've flattened or resized the image.
Anyone know how to solve this?
I've tried to..
flatten all layers at once
flatten the layers one by one
merge visible
merging only the comission info-layer with an empty one below it
rasterizing it, or rasterizing all the text before merging it
converting it to a smart object before merging
merging everything but the commission info-layer, and then flatten it
Strangly the Layer 9 that has drop shadow to it doesn't get affected or changed when I merge/flatten/resize.
I haven't touched the settings. Lately I've also been having some problems with layers set to multiply. In some cases they can't be merged properly without looking weird. (Though resizing and saving for.jpg works fine).
I have a large psd. The bottom most Layer can be a background layer is it possible to flatten just this layer to make is a background layer as this may make the file size smaller. Im working in PH5 on a Mac.
View 2 Replies View Relatedthis is my problem:
Pic 1. I have an image I want to use as a background, however the image is not complete. I need a part of pic 2 to fullfill it.
Pic 2. The colors around the object doesn't match the colors of Pic 1.
Normally it would be best to cut the object out. However in this case it wouldn't look nice (the object is mixed out (in color) with the rest of the image). If I cut out something the object won't look "proper".
My question:
How can I blend pic 2 on pic 1, using the original object from pic 2 (as it is), and at the same time blend the colors around it, so that it matches that of pic 1 / or simply remove it somehow?
I'm automating a custom watermark action for a series of photos (1000's) the orignals vary in size so thats my first hurdle to accomodate, the final water mark will comprise of a white stroke offset say -5 mm(but again ideally relative to each images size) and then placing a PDF logo at 20% opacity and placed centrally.
The problem I have is that I want the logo to be at the same scale throughout the sets of images, ideally the stroke too.So my question is can this be achieved in PS, scaling relative to document because all I can seem to do is specify a size or percentage.
A work around I considered is basing the final image size on a set width or height and then using a standard size for the logo and stroke just thought I'd try the hard way first.
