Photoshop Elements :: Photo To Have Soft Border - Feather To Invisible?
Dec 6, 2012
PSE9 under MAC OS 10.6.8.
I don't know how I can add to what the title already says. I would like a photo to have a soft border that feathers to invisible. I've tried to set an absolute invisible border (select invert followed by a background erase of the selection) and feathering that, but I inevitably get feathering that starts at the outer edge, crosses over into the photo itself leaving a sharp edge showing, and extends too far into the photo.
I simply want all four of the photo's edges to "disappear" into nothing.
I'm trying to create a border for several pictures that is amorphous and just has the picture fading off to black in a nondescript shape. This is my attempt, but I'd like to not have the blur, but rather a fade from the color of the picture to black.
doesn't have black and white dots fidgeting around all the time.
about the Layer masks. I've just started using them, and I've seen artists on Ustream who can work on single colored flats on an entirely colored layer without touching areas with a different color than the one they're working on.
I've tried back and forth with the layer mask, but I've still got no clue.
I would like to place a thin white border inside a photo..then I would like to erase a small portion of that border along the verticle side to put my name. I think there is a frame within PSE 11 that does this but I can not find it. I tried to add an example by going to insert photo but I don't think it worked.
I have two images/photos to which I applied a gradient feather effect. The documment printed fine, but when the PDF is viewed online in Fire Fox, the gradient feather no longer displays and only the sharp edges of the photo are visible. Is there a specific setting when saving to PDF that I need to select for best viewing online? I'm on a Mac CS 5.5.
I would like to cut out an oval shaped photo and insert it into the corner of a larger photo. The question is I would like the edge of the oval photo to fade away so it has a soft edge. How to I achieve this edge.
When exporting my edited pictures to a folder in m Pictures it goes as a blank soft color but no photo. It looks like a tiny dot and when you open it, it is a soft color..
I want to get my photo to print with an border that is exact around the entire photo. The one's I am printing are not. The border on top and bottom of the photo are thicker than the border on the right and left. And the photo is not centered. I need it to be exact all the way around.
I am using Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 on an iMac OS X Lion computer. My printer is an Epson 1400. Do you think I should import it to InDesign instead?
My photoshop elements 11 seems to be completly screwed up. The brush tools and/or healing tools that normally bring up a tool menu at the bottom of the screen have only half of the box visible. I cannot change the options because only half the box is shown or none of the options are visible. Its like only part of the code loaded what is spposed to appear.
The side menu is also missing parts in the very bottom left corner.It seems like it has something to do with the screen resolution on my macbook. But this is the only program that has the problem.
I have a retna display macbook 11.I am so frustrated with PE 11, and do not understand why everyone thinks itis so fantastic.
I like to put a border on the photo I upload online.These pictures are usually 600 X 400 pixels.A 2 pixels line is just perfect for my use but...it's impossible to have a 2 pixels pencil.You can create a 1 pixels pencil or a 3 pixels pencil but not a 2 pixels one. Why?
At one point, what I was doing is, select all,then shrink the selection by 5 pixels(yes,I like to add the border inside the image)and then use the marching ants as a guide and trace a 3 pixels wide solid line and then erase a 1 pixel line using the eraser but...it's extremely tricky(and time consuming)because there's no real 1 pixel eraser...it's a cross made of 5 pixels and if you're not just at the right spot it erases the thing just bad.
Also,I use to do it by: selecting all, then shrink the selection by 5 pixels and then strike the selection with my chosen pencil but...the damn line is 5 pixels away from the border of the picture on the left side and on top but on the right side and at the bottom,the damn line is only "4 pixels" away.Sure 1 pixel off seems not that much but on a small picture 600 X 400, it shows a lot. How come the selection can't be stricken with an even result?
When I print a single 4x5 image on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, the entire sheet, less the eighth inch margins, receives an almost invisible layer of color. Where is the dialog box generating the instruction to print this background and how do I disable it? Both Elements 3 and 6 used on the same printer, an Epson 2200, would simply print the image.
In lightroom 3 I had a border around any photo in loupe view when I dimmed the background using the "L" key (seen only when dimmed). I don't remember ever setting it, it just seemed to come that way. I cannot get this border (which really worked to separate the photo from the background) anymore. I tried all preferences and tried to find this out in Lightroom Help before submitting this question. The border looked like the one you can add in the print module. I notice that when using the "L" key to dim, I also lose the ability to display the information overlay, even when cycling through the "I" key. Am I overlooking a setting or is this just a change to LR4?
I am looking to do a custom border like this in light room [1] . I can do a full border like that as a transparent png file.However if the shot is tight in and has people from edge to edge, the border/watermark cuts them off. Is there a way to add a watermark/border as the background and resize and rotate an image (on a slant) to fit the middle area.
I'm trying to work on a logo of two interlocking "G"s with one being gold and the other white. I need to put a gold trim/border around the white so that it will look better on a black background.
how to add borders or outlines etc to certain areas of an image.
In PSE10 if it is possible to select multiple images and put a simple border around each of them ?
I use PSE10 to re-size multiple images and, further down the track, I then drop the re-sized images into word documents but I'd like to re-size them and border them.
I'm using Elements 8 on my Win 8 laptop. And recently I always get a black border around the videos. I don't know what settings I should change to get rid of this but I looked everywhere.
I would like to set a preference or something so that If I don't want the section to snap to the border when cropping that it does not. I can judge it over but that is extra steps to take.
When trying to place an image into a new document in photoshop elements 12, I select all-copy-paste the image (or even drag it) over to the new doc created. However, when I do this - the image does not paste in at the same size. It typically shrinks down in size. Do I have to save the file, close out and then open the new doc and PLACE it in the document in order for it to keep size? There must be a better way to do this. Basically, how can I drag a photo that is 4x6 over to a new doc while keeping the size at 4x6.
