I would first off like to thank you for a wonderful forum and for a chance to ask for assistance directly. It always amazes me to see a group of professionals and enthusiasts willing to offer their immense knowledge and their precious time for nothing in return.
That is why I am particularly grateful for this forum.
Anyway, I am an absolute newbie to Photoshop and pretty much to graphics processing as well, so my question I guess will be an easy one to answer. Code:
I am working with vector art that has lines that either look like they were cut off and not finished out or extend to the edge of the page so they are straight when they should actually be curved.
Is there any way to take a straight line or part of an image and curve it with ease or will I have to redraw or alter each line?
I just upgraded to Illustrator CS6 on a PC. I try to save my graphic in Save for Web and want to alter the image size, but it won't change, it just goes back to the original size. If I change the percentage box, the values change. I have tried linking and unlinking the proportions and nothing. What am I missing?? I don't have time to guess the percentage to get to the exact width I need.Â
I have a CAD drawing that I have exported as an EPS in order to import it in to photoshop. I want to make the EPS look as though its a hand drawn illustration rather than a CAD drawing. I have tried the usual filters and can't get the desired look.
I’ve noticed a trend in photos altered to be used as wall art. You can see an example hereÂ

I would like to know what techniques I could try to get similar color pallets. Or if I found a color pallet that is interest me how can I adjust the colors in my photographs to match the color pallet?
I have recently installed CS4 and I want to make fireworks my default editor for jpegs. However, I can't. PNGs default to fireworks, but whatever I try I cant get jpegs to. I thought I could live with it but when I press on a jpeg attachment I forget taht it weill open in Ps. Its beginning to drive me nuts! I have tried all the usual tricks regarding choosing a program to open with an extension, as well as uninstalled most of my previous Studio 8 - still have flash 8 installed - fw and dw are gone. Anyone got any more ideas. Is there something I need to do in PS?
I'm trying to alter a games texture images. The images are in PNG format with transparent backgrounds with a size of 128 x 128. I would like to increase this to 256 x 256.
Now, I know that enlarging an image like that is frowned upon because of the lose in quality considering PS has to pretty much guess at the color and placement of those pixels.
I realize that I wont be able to simply press a buttons a BAM I have a game with twice the graphics. I know I'll have to do some altering and touch up but I'm hoping for some input on how to do this. Here, I'll upload an example.
Sometimes when using shop i alter the size of say a brush down to 3 pixels or less, then go back up to say 20 pixels but the on screen pointer does not show the actual size, how come?
I've been using Photoshop for a while now.. and I've always wondered... is it possible to actually alter the handwriting on a piece of paper, seen in the image?...
Am I able to change the letters "GARV" on the paper, to something like, "CAKE" or "JOHN" or "AUSTRALIA" ?
Matching the handwriting of "GARV" isnt a huge plus, but making the altered word look realistic, as if it were written before the image was taken. Code:
I'm trying to create a new design based on a grid, so I need pixel-exact text layers. For this I always use "None" as anti alias method. This is pixel-exact, but it's absolutely not beautiful. So from time to time I'd like to check how the full impression of the layout is on a modern browser that support anti aliasing. Sadly it's quite a pain to do and then again undo it for every text layer separately, so maybe there's a way to speed things up? :-)
I have a PNG image with only one layer as a start point. It has a faded map on it.
I have a second PNG image with a hex grid on it. I do colour to Alpha to establish transparency on the hex grid for white filled hexes (others are not filled with white).
Now, I wish to overlay a portion of the first image with the faded map with the non-transparent part of the second image.
So I select by colour (for the hexes not filled with white) on the second image (the overlay) and I then paste to the first image (after creating a transparency layer and selecting it to receive the overlay).
I see the desired overlay section (minus any transparent stuff as expected), however it is centered over the map in the first image, not where I want it to be. It is a floating selection and must be anchored. So I select the anchor icon in the layer dialog and I think I anchor it into the transparency layer on the first image (that's what I'm trying to do anyway).
And then my problem:
I want to move the thing I just pasted in to the right place with respect to the underlying faded map. I attempt to use the move tool, but all I move is the background map (pretty much the opposite of what I want).
Nothing I do seems to let me reselect the pasted-in overlay so that I can move it.
Why I can't ever reposition the pasted in overlay? It should be in the transparency layer I created but even if I select all, I don't seem to be able to move anything other than the background image.
I was just wondering as to whether its possible to keep the checkered base which you get when you remove part of an image or have it transparent to stay in the created image.
I am sure you all know this.
Here is the YouTube background which I have created and wondering if I am able to keep the checkered base or whatever in the image after I have saved it rather than print screening and pasting it back like a jigsaw puzzle.
I have been using gimp now for about 2 months and have just upgraded my OS to Mavericks and upgraded Gimp to 2.8.8.
Upon doing this I seem to have lost the ability to copy/cut an image or part thereof from one open image into another... Example:
I have an image window open with a picture a car and I have an image window open with a race track back ground.
I want to copy the car from image 1 into image 2, but for some reason I cannot do this function anymore. When attempting it, once the item is copies to the clipboard and I then swap to the second image, when I paste as a new layer it pastes the clipboard from that image and not the image from the first window...
I use Gimp alot to make beautiful banners . I add text into them. The problem I am having [you are going to love this]. I made a beautiful banner for a friend and installed it on a website. [get ready to laugh] I spelled his name wrong. I put the banner back into Gimp but I can't figure out how to alter the text. Do I need to make a new banner or can this be changed??
I'm currently trying to use one photo as back ground and then use part of a second photo as a layer over the top of the first pic (as the background). Can't seem to get it to work at all! Hard as the part of the 2nd pic is a lion which needs cutting round.
I am new to developing for AutoCAD. I am using VB.NET to create a table, as standard the first row of the table is a Title row, I want to change this to a data row. How to do this?
How to alter AutoCADs' default plotter so that when I "publish" it will be the plotter that I use here most commonly in the office and I can use the default name given so I do not have to do a "page setup" every time I want to plot more than one page. I would like to select the pages that I am interested in publishing and go.
(also, I am using AutoCAD 2013 LT so LISP's are not a possibility)
every time I try to enter / alter text, autocad informs me that it can't find a dictionary for spell checking purposes. I can live with that, but the constant pop-up is getting old.
I tried to reset my Main Dictionary... but it seems to be gone. Is a fresh re-install in order?
In Indesign (cs4): When I have marked the textbox and wish to alter the font, I have the last couple of days experienced that I click on the new font I desire, but the font does not change. I have to close down Indesign and then I can change the font. ... for a while, then it happens again, and I have to close down Adobe again. (there is plenty of space in the textbox, that is not the problem). (I have had this CS4 for many years, and not till this last week have I had this probem).
Using XP with PS CS4. Â I am going to attach an image so that I can illustratate what I am trying to achieve here.. Â You should see a white hose like object against a gray background. I cannot show the whole image, let's just say that above and below it, it gets complicated, meaning not just a plain gray background and the hose isn't all that straight.
I do have the white part as a path, but what I am looking to do is to thin the white part. I can assume you can't go wrong with the clone tool, but I was wondering if there was something better as I do not have a steady hand with the mouse and I do have a few of these images on hand to edit.
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to deselect part of an image. When I use the magic wand to select the white background it includes part of the thumb nail. How do I deselect the white part of the thumb nail so I don't remove it with the background?
I have been shooting several images of architectural interiors and stitching them together and the attached image is the result I get. I would like to be able to distort, or stretch the center of the image up and down without effecting the left and right ends of the image.
fade out part of an image. Say I have a jpeg, and I want to have the last third of the image naturally fade out, how do I do it? I don't want to use the gradient, I want to actually fade out the image.
