how to do this cool gradient effect on photos,
I tried to do a gradient overlay but that doesnt do it.
I have made a tv icon and on the object that's suppose to be the screen I would like to add a Lens Flare effect.However, I cannot seem to get the Flare placement just where I would like for it to be also, I used a Gradient (on the screen) of a mid Grey color and White set to Radial but it seems as though when the Gradient Effect is turned on the Flare is behind the Gradient effect. So, I assume I cannot use both ~ together??
But, the lesson by which I followed seems to have used both effects ... ie: the Flare seems to be on top of the Gradient. Thus far I tried to Duplicate the layer and then tried to put the Flare on the duplicate and I have tried different Layer Blends, Opacity etc, but I cannot seem to achieve the desired result.
The blue one is the one I made. The red one is a partial shot of the one from the lesson. See how the screen has the Flare effect and also seems to have the Radial Gradient? The tut doesn't offer any instruction as to how the author/artist went about achieving the result.
to create a dotted gradient effect as shown in the below image.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was working on a design. I had a dark gray background and was going to do a soft white gradient effect in my selection.
When I went to do it, for some reason it was reversed. The gradient came into the selection but just above the selection was a darker color. So it looked like a gradient with a shadow all at once.
Then I looked at my layers and noticed I was not in the new layer, but I was on my background layer, so it was one layer.
So when I did the design, I went back to play with gradients and it wouldn't happen anymore. Does anyone know how this happened, it was a nice effect.
My mode was on "normal" and the only difference is that I was on a background layer already filled with color, so I thought that was it, but apparently not.
it looked pretty clean to get a gradient with a shadow effect on the outside of the selection. The only other way it does some of this effect, is when I feather the selection and use foreground/background color with the gradient tool, but it's not the same.
I just switched over from paint.net actually. Anyway, one of my favorite effects I made in paint.net was a gradient bars effect (as seen in this image):
Now, I really want to know how to make this in Photoshop .
Just came across this awesome red/yellow picture. Just wondering how you would create the colors like that? I have Palm Tree Brushes for the tree silhouettes, but I don't know how to turn a normal beach image into bright red/yellow like that!

I've created a small mock-up of the type of effect that I want to make, and what is the name of the effect, or how to do it. But for some reason it doesn't let me post the image.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSay i have filled an area with Gradient fill and i open up the Gradient editor to refine the gradient, i realize that i cannot 'live' preview how the tuning affects the gradient in the object.
This can be achieve in Illustrator CS2 from gradient palette. i was wondering can it be done in Photoshop Cs2 with any shortcut or so?
(i was thinking any other way to achieve that without using Gradient overlay , Layer style? because i want to create several objects with differnt Gradients on the same layer)
Else, are there any external plugin/script to achive that?

Secondly, is there any command to align anchor points in PS? like align them vertically or something, i notice there is no paths palette in Ps( where are the commands to manage anchor points located at)?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat I want to do is take a design and automatically filter it to divide it into four parts that are moved into the corners of the image for tiling, like the Make Seamless feature. But I don't want any image-changing effects other than that, like gradients, which can't be turned off when using Make Seamless. What can I do?
If I have to do it manually, how do I do this? I can't seem to understand how to use the grid or ruler to find the exact center or divide the image into four equal parts.
When I try to copy an object in illustrator which has gradient effect in it, gradient changes in the next copied object. how to overcome this issue.

When I do it using Effects/pixilate/color haltone it makes multiple colored halftones, whereas I just want one color. And when I change the channel's it comes up with similar results.
I am trying to acheive the same angle gradient effect that can be done in Photoshop but in Illustrator. The actual thing I want to be able to create as a vector is the graphic attached...
Can this be done by somehow using the blend tool and replacing the spline with a circle?
If you take blend tool to gate one color to other or same or gray scale it give correct result. But if you use New color style and new gradient it show wrong effect in CMYK.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIllustrator keeps freezing when applying an effect such as texture-grain to a simple gradient, or even rasterizing a simple black circle. My system is about a 6month old macbook pro with 16gb ram, i7 and AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB. What could be causing this? It wasn't like this when i first started using the laptop but has started to do it everytime i try and do any of those simple tasks recently.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to create a gradient similar to radial gradient, except that the shape is other than circular? This image would be the starting point, but I would like the white part fading to black to be another shape (say, a rectangle, a banana, etc.).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been experiencing problems with the Gradient editor since I got PS and the problem is that whenever I create a gradient through the gradient editor and then load it, it does load it and instead just duplicates the ones that already exist.
I save all gradients at:
C:UsersRHAppDataRoamingAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS6PresetsGradients
However it does (mostly) work when I import pre-made (from web) Gradients.
I don't know why this happens but it also did the same thing when I had CS5.5!
I have attached an image of a butterfly with a broken effect on its wings. You can see the effect inside the marching ants. How do i get this kind of effect?

Sort of like GTA(video game) graphics on the game case.
I have CS5. The bugs and broken features in AICS6, make it unusable in my workflow.
I am specifically concerned about the inability to drag global color swatches from the color panel to Gradient stops in the Gradient Panel. I use this method to update a gradient color because I find it MUCH faster than option-dragging to duplicate a stop color, then deleting the unused stop. Since I do this constantly, I find using CS6 very tedious.
I'm making some graphics to be printed on a car. I have some lines with outer glow on them, but Illustrator won't render these unless I use 72DPI in raster effects reslution. I would like to go higher, but it won't give me anything. Guessing it's to heavy for Illustrator maybe? Is there anything I can do about this? I'm making my graphics in 1:1 scale, but I do it in a lower scale since it's just vector art anyway, however how would that effect my glow? Since it's a raster effect.

Repro: Import any footage to a new project - any resolution or frame rate. Create new composition from clip. Type in "Crop" in effects search Double click to load it. Result is an effect called "Wigglerama" & "transform" gets loaded instead of the required "Crop" effect

I need the 9 faded into the 2, the 8 faded into the 3, etc. I would use a Gradient Fill but it simply fills all the white space with a gradient from 9 to 2. Short of selecting a space 1 pixel wide hundreds and hundreds of times, and then filling with a gradient, is there something that will let me use a 2D gradient, as it were?
how I can have an all around gradient for a rectangle.
Right now, the way I'm doing it is putting gradient on the left & right side of the rectangle, and then making a top and bottom rectangle with gradients to match the sides. This is a PITA ..
