I'm doing a rebrand for a university, and as they've got limited creative resource themselves we've decided to build in using pixelated images into the brand guidelines (so they won't require a professional photographer for every bit of execution).
What I'd like to do is use their logo (a simple house shape) as the shape of the mosaic filter. I've been unable to find a way of altering photoshops default square mosaic filter shape.
So, I have been trying to bend a rounded rectangle shape with a 30px radius using the add anchor and convert tools ... just not having much luck at al and so I am looking for some pointers.
Below is what I am trying to accomplish
Seems no matter how I go about it I am not coming close to #2 So, for those Mighty Pen masters ...
Recently my friend made a huge mosaic image composed of 8.6 x 11 in. paper but he would not tell me how he did it in photoshop... My question is how do you get photoshop to print out just individual sections of a picture to make up a big picture in the end?
I am trying to design a shower mosaic, using small (3/4") tiles. I have a certain color palette, dictated by where I buy the tiles
And convert it to a mosaic that only uses colors from the tiles. I could then play with tiles of different sizes or a bigger/smaller palette until I was happy with it, and use the Photoshop image as the pattern when I put them in.
I know how to create a mosaic with squares of size x. What I don't know is how to tell Photoshop to take an image and create a mosaic forcing it (as best as it can) into a specified color palette.
I'm having trouble with many newbie things... here's the list:
1) i have to deal with images of various sizes. What do I need to do to be able to have everyone's head cut out in an exact circle such that I can move them all around and they are the same size? I tried using the marquee tool but it made a different circle each time, more of an ellipse (hence the name of the tool I suppose).
2) does anyone know where I can get a picture of a tree that I can attach everyone's head to? how do I use that as my background? is that the same as adding a layer and having it as the bottom layer?
I want to create a mosaic/collage type thing of loads (100+) of images i've taken. Is there any shortcut way of doing it, or is the only way importing each image and resizing it?
I have this idea to place a raster image from Photoshop into Illustrator, and to have an array of Illustrator shapes over this placed image, to clipping mask the raster image with the shapes, and then to move the shapes individually, each one retaining it's section of that raster image which it clipped.
I believe I'm getting the clipping part to happen, but when I move the shapes with the Direct Selection tool, the clipped contents doesn't move with it.
I think that all of my shapes, taken as a whole are clipping this raster image...am I barkin' up the wrong tree here?
I have scanned in a photo of a flower and I am trying to make a pattern out of it. I have a pattern template with wavy lines on another document. How can I make the flower stem into one of the wavy lines? I have been trying all day but haven't succeeded so far ..
Say I have a cartoon-like image of a face, outlined in black, and filled in with a background color. The image was saved as a .jpg so it got anti-aliased and the black outline & background instead of being 2 shades (one for the background, one for the outline) became many shades. Aside from the painstakingly long process of erasing all background pixels and replacing it, yet again with all the same shade, is there another, perferably easier and faster method of doing this.
This is the desired resualt im after, Mine is basically just white/gray clouds. as in my second picture below. I have tryed applying the filter(loads) but no changes really. My canvas is the same size as his.
I'm producing a limited 8-colour palette mosaic for a restaurant wall using 1734 tiles represented as tessellated objects superimposed on a colour-reduced photo. Each tile will be one of 8 colours.
My question: how do I calculate the number of tiles per colour? I already have produced the tiles with their respective colour.
there is the scripting language - which is likely my only option - but as I'm new to the game:-
1. Is there an inbuilt Draw function to identify and count the number of objects with a specific colour, or
2. How can illustrate some Corel Script I can get started with to achieve this?
am trying to take a portion of an image, resize it and place it onto another image. I have selected the portion I need using the rectangular marquee tool,
Say you have a flattened image, a solid background and text of a differrent colour.
If you wanted to change the colour of the text is there some trick to simultaneously changing the pixels around the letters with slightly different hues (because of the antialiasing) into a relative colour?
i have attached a gif image of a letter zoomed in to give an example.
If you wanted to alter that text to say red could you do it?
I want to paint texture into an image without adding or changing color.
The best way to explain my goal is to visit this website with very fine work by Mark Wainer.

My own website is [URL]...
He has used Buzz, as have I, to change photos into watercolor like images, now defunct and taken over by Topaz software, who now market Simplify in place of BUZZ.
After running the filter, he has added brush strokes to add texture without altering any color—just adding a texture looking like impasto or thick brush strokes.
I have searched everywhere and view lots of video but cannot find a technique to get the result I want.
I am sure there is way to do this, probably with brushes in CS6 and unable to find or create a way to achieve this effect.
Prior to Photoshop CS6, a curve on a path could be moved using the Direct Selection Tool without altering the path beyond the two enclosing points. If you manipulated the curve, only the inside handles of the two points (that create the curve) would change - and only in length - as shown below:
Unfortunately, in Photoshop CS6, if you manipulate the path curve with the Direct Selection Tool, the handles both sides of the points move freely - affecting the path beyond those points:
- is there a way to revert to the prior behaviour? The Photoshop CS6 behaviour may seem more intuitive (or something), but it's less precise and alter parts of the path that are fine already.
I'm using Photoshop CS3, and the warp tool seems to behave differently after performing the skew or perspective transformations. If I try to warp after doing one of these two transformations, I am unable to click on any of the points or handles. The only thing it will let me do is alter the lines, but the points themselves cannot be moved. What am I missing?
I'm working with a stock image of a girl in a dress, and I've dealt with this problem before; part of the background is visible through translucent parts of the dress, and her hair, which cannot easily be fixed with magic wands and with polygon selects. The background is a neutral grey, while the final product will have a mixed green and brown background. (earth, trees, foliage)
Is there a way to make a layer mask based on the degree of a certain color? For instance, the closer you get to this neutral grey color, the more transparent? The way I've solved this in the past involves extremely careful deletes and extremely careful erase-brushes at 2-10% flow rate.
Is there a way to Find and Replace or change the global properties of a drawing from horizontally stacked fractions to Vertical or vis a vis? (WITHOUT INDIVIDUALLY CHANGING EACH ONE) Ive got mixed stacked settings throughout a number of drawings and I want a single uniform appearance.
i have a automatic background backup program running that copys files to my backup drives.if the filesize has changed or the date it will be copied over to the backup drive.
after i have installed LR 4.3 yesterday i noticed today that over 34000 of my DNG files (from various folders) where copied over night to the backup drives.90% of these are old files i have not touched in month.
the filesize of the files is not changed... but the date is. i checked the timestamp of the files and they are changed during i used LR 4.3.
i have never touched these DNG files yesterday, i have not changed the keywords etc. or done anything but browsing my catalog yesterday.i have never noticed this after updating LR... this is the first time.none of my TIFF files where changed or copied (i don´t have JPG files) .
I am building a site for a client, and as such they employed the services of a graphic designer to design a company logo. Well the client has chosen one of the logos but the colors do not fit in as well with the sit layout as one would desire. I approached the graphic designer to request changes for the client, but they sent me the files and said I can modify them in Photoshop.
The trouble is, I don't use PS. How to make the appropriate changes using Xara? I did try to highlight the text but I think it may all be part of an object with the razor. I wanted to convert the larger text to white and export everything from a dark background so it doesn't have the white jagged edge you would see from a white background.
I have got a drawing that is set up on A0 as per the client requirements. However, for use on site by our engineers, i want to send over an A2 of just the area they are working in to make it clearer for them. On my original drawing, all the information for the installers is dotted around the page to show site requirements. However, what I am planning on doing now is making 2 x A2 drawings showing the areas of work for this phase, and then 1 x A2 showing all installer requirements.
My issue is though that i don't want to alter the positioning on my drawing in the layout tab as it is to how the client needs it to be and sod's law will be that i will need to do an amendment at some point too.
I have seen a drawing with some boundaries drawn on the layout, which the client has put on a 'defpoints' layer, then on the paper space they have been able to show the different defpoints in different areas on the page, even though they are joining on the layout tab.
I am trying to alter or create a colorspace preset/profile that would allow me to open a digital image in Lightroom or Photoshop that ultamately changes the colorspace to one that simulates the view of a dog. All I really have to go on is the two spctrums shown in the image below.
With video games like Auto Modellista, and XIII (thirteen) the technique of cell shading is all the rage. Below are two tutorials I did not write, and one that I did write. I would like some feedback/ comments on the one that I did write. I posted up the two other ones because most of the people I talk to have either seen them, or know of those tutorials and have been using them as a guide. My way is not exactly cell shading just because I have been doing it so long that I have continually gotten more and more advanced until they look like airbrushed pictures. Either way, here are the tutorials.
