Photoshop Elements :: Stock Photos Mixed Up With Own?
Apr 28, 2013
Suddenly today I have noticed that there are literally hundreds of stock photos mixed up with my own. I can't see where they are filed, so cannot delete the folder. Is there any way of getting rid of them from both Elements organiser and my hard disk other than one at a time?
I have a photo of my brother's hand wearing a wedding band. I would like to have the whole photo in black and white except his wedding band, which is golden in color.
The first time I ever tried out Adobe stock photos through Bridge, The intro page says something along the lines of "enter keywords above to start searching". But there WAS no search bar 'above' nor anywhere else on the screen. I thoght I was losing my mind.
Next time I opened it up, there was the search bar, right up top! Found a great stock photo without any trouble.
As I'm using it more (or trying to) I find that at least half of the time the search bar does not appear. Sometimes opening a new window or restarting bridge fixes it, sometimes not.
Is there any want to retain the clipping paths from certain stock photos (or any images which include paths) within either CorelDraw or Photo-Paint? Sure I can create my own or use the cutout tool, but sometimes it's nice to simply use what's already there.
I use Win Pro with 3 RAM, lots of storage on 3 discs plus an external drive. Recently my 'Bridge" began to act strange. It wouldn't open up from the photoshop. Then the top half of the screen wouldn't show and everything behaved very stubbornly. So today I tried to reload the CS3, etc. I successfully loaded only one component but not the Adobe CS3, or the 'Shared Components'. I was informed that the original installation had moved for each of the components - the second one saying something about 'bridge start meeting. Etc. I have no idea how this came about, To correct it I am wondering if I simply removed the entire CS3 Systems,Namely delete them. Then I would install them again??? If this makes sense will i likely be able to retain the folders in the CS3. By the way the CS3 is still working apparently okay.
When opening my jpeg photos in Photoshop elements 9, once saved elements seems put the image in a format that my Apple Mac isn't compatible with. So when I then try and upload the images to Facebook or other software in a bulk upload the images are highlighted and I therefore can't select them and upload.
New user to PSE11. Is it recommended that ALL photos be in albums or is the idea that photos in albums are a subset of the photos in folders? With all the sort and search functionality, I don't understand the benefit of albums.I name my image folders using a standard naming convention with the date embedded so it makes them rather easy to manage.
The instructions in Adobe Photo Elements 11 Classroom In a Book are the classic Windows "Drag and Drop" Method. However, when I try to do it, the cursor/icon I am dragging turns into a gray circle with a gray diagonal when it reaches the Media Browser pane in the Organizer and the folder/photo is not imported into the Organizer when I "drop." Do I need to change setting in Windows (Vista, SP2) or Photoshop Elements 11?
My photos are OK in the Organizer, but the portrait photos are cut off at the top or bottom when used in a slide show. I have checked the "Crop to Fit" portrait selection but it makes no difference. I have Version 9 of Elements.
I just upgraded to photoshop elements 11. When I attempt to sync photos in iTunes (to synch with my iPhone), Photoshop Elements appears in the drop down and when I select it, it finds all the "albums" in the catalog. However, when I select an album to sync, iTunes indicates 0 photos are available in the album.
I'm running photoshop elements 11, iTunes 11.0.1.12, Windows 8 Pro.
if I try to sync "all photos and albums" it still reports that there are "0 photos" available to sync.
I've tried to make new albums, which iTunes "sees" the names, but there are "0 photos" available to sync.
I've also tried to sync with a folder (file system) which works just fine.
I can not paste photos from my photos file. If I start a blank file I can paste anything photos want from the web in as many layers as I want. If I try to paste a photo from my own photos file it becomes the back ground by itself. I don't know how to stop this. Using photoshop elements 11.
I have this photo taken in tungsten light, but there remain reflections from the outside light (the sun) which of course appear blue-magentish.
I thought maybe mixing with yellow-green could eliminate them. Actually I only need to decrease their saturation and thus become like other whitish reflections..
I am starting a class this semester which is essential photoshop basics, my instructor has given us some tutorials to "play" with and get comfortable and told us to us use "stock" images from the net.
My question is this , where can I get free stock images of female models posing in various styles (nothing of an offensive nature) ? I am going to attempt a very basic fantasy art work using "light and darkness" or "good and evil" that sort of thing as the theme.
where does everyone go to get stock images they need? ive been using DA for a while, but without a subscription there is no search function, and sifting through all the crap takes a long time.
I have a problem with the VrayDisplacementMod. I have a large green area covered with grass ( a golf course ). There shoud be 3 types of different grass colour and hights. I have made my grass using the VrayDisplacementMod and received really great ( as for my needs ) results . Also have used the vertex map for the cool mix for the grass as the main gras in the middle is a yellowishgreen when the rest is covered by the darker grass ( around the main one ) . There is now really nice effect bettwen these 2 grasses but the problem is that the whole area has the same amount of VrayDisplacement....
I mean to get the effect where the dark graas around is much higher than the other one (in the middle of the area ) but I would like the grass getting smaller in a unnoticed way so that we could NOT see the border line between the hights ( just like the colour using the vertex map )
I recently burned video footage to DVD with VS Pro X5 (with the parameters already set in the VS Pro Burning module), and played the DVD on my DVD player...the DVD played pretty well on my player, though some "striations" or moire appeared in the background on some building sidings early on--but it didn't distort the overall play-ability of a particular sequence...
However, when I played the DVD on a friend's DVD player, the beginning of the DVD broke up and "de-pixillated," for want of a better word--though 2/3rds of the DVD's later footage played OK (and a commercial DVD played just fine on my friend's DVD player just before all this)...
That result left me very puzzled, why it should play more-or-less OK on my own DVD player, but so horrendously on another DVD player...
Is there some VS Pro (or a utility program) filter that I can run the footage through prior to/during a DVD Burn in VS Pro to get a smooth rendering of the footage?
I am trying to find out how to embed a mixed ink image into Illustrator (multiple spot colors) and not get single images once it's placed. So far I've only been able to do it with DCS 2.0 files which can only be linked, not embedded. I have been successful with saving PSD files and deleting all of the layer artwork, just keeping the channels, however when I embed that file it converts it into single images of each spot channel and not a mixed ink image. Basically what I'm looking for is when you look up at the top left bar when you have the image selected it should say embedded: mix ink image PPI: 300 or something like that. Instead I've only been able to get single image to show up. What format is required to get that?
I've just bought a new Llaptop (PC) and I'm trying to take the LR 4.4 catalog off the old one to put on the new one. Trouble is, when I do this I've lost all my editing from past and jpegs are mixed in with the CR files.
I noticed that when I try to paint with the brush (with a smaller brush between 1-4pxs) I can't see the cursor that shows me where I'm drawing. I don't have the best eyes but when I wear my glasses while on the PC my eyes get real tired, is there a way to change this cursors color and/or size?
I am using VSX3 and have a question about whether it is possible to mix/edit the audio track for the MTS files added to the project when the audio is 2ch stereo?
Basically what I want to know is how to remove or lessen voices that are close to the camera's mic, when I am really interested in keeping the audio of the subject I am focused/zoomed in on?
Case in point, my wife was filming my son's pre-k moving up ceremony and we have some priceless video of him singing up on the stage. But a portion of the soundtrack is ruined by her yelling at my mother-in-law that she is holding the point-n-shoot camera upside down and the ensuing conversation. In this case, editing the clip or adding music and fading out the clip audio won't cut it.
In older versions of Illustrator, I used to be able to make a selection of multiple objects and give them a stroke or other attribute. Now it says “Mixed Appearance” and I can't do anything to the selection. How do I modify a multi-selection if it says “Mixed Appearance?”
Im wanting to recreate a cloud vector from a stock image site. Unfortunately i'm rubbish with vectors and have no use making anything like this version.
