I see how Photoshop CS3 uses the History Log for actions, but can it be set up to not only record the step but what was done in that step, i.e., a History Log entry shows "curves" but doesn't show that a "darker" preset was used in that step.
I am trying to learn layers and layer masks. I loaded an image, than control J to duplicate it. I then added a layer mask. Everything good so far. I then went to filters chose a blur. Then went to brushes with black as my foreground color, I just wanted to brush away the blur, and got an error message. "could not use the history brush because the history state does not have a corresponding layer."
Everytime I try to use my history brush, that error pops up and I have no clue why. If I try to just open a blank document and use the brush it does not give me this error and I can "use" the brush but you cant see anything on the project.
so when this error happens im trying to do a project and say I place a file(picture) into the project and this is the very first thing I do. I place it, then I size the image down some. I then make a new layer to use the brush for behind the picture and then this is when I get the error. I have no clue what is wrong
Is there a way within Photoshop CS5 to add Author/photographer details to image. When I save?
I have to macs with photoshop and I need to monitor who is editting what I figure if everything saved on my machine gets tagged I could work it out from there? A bit like how microsoft word will add the author by default.
I'm aware of File info but that would be a long process to do it. Ideally not an action either.
I have created an image by combining 2 images the model and the frame (finished1), because i need this image with a clear background when I save it as a GIF the image degrades (finished2) how can i save the image with a clear background and still maintain the details of the JPG?
My printer has asked for images as follows..Final artwork must be High resolution with a transparent background
High Resolution Vector Image in the following formats All text converted to curves / outlines CorelDraw � to V13 Photoshop V6 Adobe Illustrator CS4 .eps .pdf
We have a detailed drawn image. This has been scanned at 600 dpi and put into Photoshop to enhance the image.We need to know what to do in Photoshop to meet the needs of the printer and get the best possible image for printing.
Photoshop is new to me. I like to paint locomotives for a game, but am wondering how to change the colors from blue to black and keep all the shading and door details. When I use the paint brush I can never seem to get the side panels into the correct color without losing a lot of detail.
I am a Creative Cloud member, and have downloaded all of the products and they are all up to date currently. The issue I have is, I see all these people using a new resampling setting called "Preserve Details". They go Image ------> Image Size, and then the window pops up. Now their window already looks different then mine. Mine looks like it did in CS4, theirs has an image preview inside the window, plus they have another resampling option available to them. Why doesn't my have this option?
I have tried to upload an image to show you what I mean, but I am unable to upload via my computer, and yes it is the correct size (>450 pxs wide by >500 pixels tall, 131 KB).
I downloaded some skin brushes which add more details to the skin after smoothing it..but how can I use it...is it used to mask the blurred layer to keep some details ?
Back with photoshop after some time away and a while back i set up a few macros/batch jobs to add frames to photos and had a few set up depending on the resolution of the photo, portrait/landscape.
I know how to create them again - but obviously would rather not! so question is how do i find out what Function keys I mapped the different batches to?
I'm having trouble modelling smoothed polygon objects in non-destructive ways, meaning editing the poly model often messes up the TurboSmooth applied to it. Example pic below.
Some tips or tricks to add details to objects in a better way? I know about adding details using separate floating objects, but it doesn't look very good close up.
I don't know which version of Illustrator, there was this option where you could see all the details form objects or anchor points. But in CS4 I'm not able to find it. Some weird fuction key combi?
Is it possible to insert a .VSP project timeline details within another project timeline ? My purpose is to be able to edit the various components of an existing timeline project (titles, transitions, some photos and videos deleted or inserted,...) while intergrating it within another .VSP project. I tried the "insert a VS project" feature but it is inserted as one video in the top video/photo timeline, preventing me from modifying any of its components ?
I want to create a library of details. Many of these details are things like ADA Requirement Information and things that may or may not be in each project. So, lets say i have 100 details and 10 to 20 are used in every project, while the remainder depends on Code requirement. How should I store these? Should I make a family for every detail? Is there a way to import just a Drafting View into a project, so that I can create all of my details in 1 project file?
I was wondering if it is possible use transfer details but just for some parts of the model, because sometimes you have parts that you don't want to affect the projection. I tried with freeze but doesn't work.
given I do a foreshortened view. Is there a way to fit the shortenings parameters to a view in a different window with a different reference file?
If not it would be a little awkward to achieve exactly the same result with a different file. As replacing references does´nt work with single view representation I´m stuck with manual- non constrained alignment of view details... which can´t be right I guess.
if there was a way to do it "right" without the need to switch to AutoCAD.
I'm trying to project a normal map from a high poly model onto its low-poly version but I'm having some problems.
I modeled some details on the high-poly model as you can see in FIG.1.
The details all have the same depth and everything as can be seen on FIG.2
But yet when the normal map renders, the detail loses depth the further they go from the center and the squarish detail at the bottom doesn't even show up at all. (FIG.3)
I tried pretty much everything I could think of to fix this, but nothing works.

I am working on a lab with cabinets. I changed the door to a single window (left/top image) from a solid door (right/bottom image) and now my renderings (left/top image) look like crap. Have I just pushed my card too far..

I would like to make some sort of an "online" catalog where the engineers could review details, and just tell the draftsmen the details they would like to include in their design set. I'd be very interested in any system that you might use. We, at one time, used printed booklets for the engineers, but got to be a hassle when details changed. Is there a good software system that might make this an easy task?
I have some doubts about Level of Details. How to constraint the assembly in Level of detail mode. I need suppress the features in position mode not in Level of Detail mode.
We work on A3 size sheets and becourse we have a lack of plotters we can not exceed this size. What the next entails ... The details that we need to make understandable are something too small because there is just no space on the paper for us to make this really clear by eg using the scale 1:1.
Our question is:
-Can I place a created detail from Sheet 01 on to another sheet?
-Can I have a reference in the partkist to this Sheet 03?
Is there a way to change he default layer a detail comes in on. For example I go to detail manager and insert a section view of a W10X112 it is inserted on layers "A-Detl-Wide" and "A-Detl-Patt" I would like it ti insert on Layers S-Detl-wide and S-Detl Patt"
