Photoshop :: How To Do Low-light Night Photography
Sep 27, 2013
I'm trying to learn how to do low-light night photography, including some astrophotography. I bought an intervalometer and just collected 100 photos. Using Bridge I load all 100 into Photoshop layers. It took a fairly long time (several minutes) to load, but is it seems they all loaded correctly. The problem is now whenever I do anything in Photoshop I get an error message saying there's not enough RAM. Also, everything else on the computer slows way down. I went to PS preferences and upped the RAM to the max I have available, 3.3 Gb. Didn't work.
I'm taking all the shots as RAW files. Should I be shooting JPEGs instead? Do I just need more RAM? 3.3 Gb seems like it should be enough.I'm using a Canon 40D, CS6, and a Mac Mini running OSX 10.8.4.

New to PSP and I took some night time photos of a car using long exposure, the pictures are clear and focused but they have that yellow-orange street light tint to them. Is there an easy way in PSP X6 to get rid of that color cast?
I'm shooting in RAW in Large with a Nikon D5100 if that matters for this. I'm not bothered how I output it as up to now I've just experimented on screen. No error codes yet!

I have been doing light box photography, but I want to get that pure white background as product images usually have.
My background is a light grey.. Using the wand tool, I was able to get close - but far from close enough.

What's the right method, to turn every thing around the dime, white?
Here it is before the wand,

how would i go about turning a picture of, let's say, a house shot in the day to a picture of a house that would appear to have been taken in the night time? one exception, however. no sky line is visible so no need to worry about that.

I have a night-sky picture with a moon. I would like to make clouds on it, which would look really realistic, in dark parts they should be hardly visible or better said they should be dark, but they should be more bright over the moon. The moon shouldn't be covered whole. Can anybody help me with this? How to make such clouds?

style flyer cards that generally are seen in and around night clubs and bars. I really dont want to grab random images around the net for obvious reasons. Does anyone know of any clipart sites of mainly photos of girls dancing, DJ's and everything in that field? Prefer a free service though I doubt there is such a thing but a cheap pay one will be fine too. Really dont want a "pay by the image" thing either.

I am trying to animate a casino-like light board made of tens of light bulbs/leds. I thought the easiest way to do it would be creating a matrix of bulbs arranged by material ID and then design a pattern in multi sub-object materiel so I could somehow scrub through it and achieve animation effect. The material modifier allows to change ID for the whole object only and MaterialByElement shuffle ID`s in a random manner.

I need to create a day night texture for use in FSX (Flight Simulator X). This is as far as I can get - lack of knowledge main reason!! In picture 1, I made a 64 x 64 pixel canvas. After putting the border around it, I used the magic wand on the inside and used the Alpha mask. Then I made a duplicate layer as seen in picture 2 and made a light brown tint.
Then I used the flatten. But now I need a light to shine thru the window pane for a night effect. How would I do this? Would I use the Effect\Photo\Glow? How would I save the completed image as a _LM image?

I am attempting to build a facsimilie enigma machine, I would like to know how best to create an effect so that when a key is pressed a corresponding letter appears to light up. Btw I am not looking for an animated image, I can take care of the transitions between on and off, I just need to create the two image states.

How do you lock the pivot point of a light to the light itself? I thought just adding a Axis node would move the light and pivot point but the pivot does not move. Is there a way of parenting them together?

When photographing a subject in front of or standing on a Chromakey background, I always get reflected blue light on the subject. I can't seem to get rid of the background in photoshop without spilling over into the subject.
What can I do? I have CS 2.

I have no MS Paint or digital photography skills at all. I have tried, but it never turns out the way I want it to, so I come to the digital photography pros for a favor. Would anyone do a simple job for free? All I need is text added to the picture.
I would like "GA VA 2006-2007" and underneath have "22-14-8". The bottom left would be the best place, I think, but if you have another idea, go for it. All I want is to make it look good.

i would like to capture standardized photos of an object that is observed if it's changing its color.
an example is the yellowing of a paper. to detect this, i need an apparature that guarantees same capturing conditions as light and "film-focus distance".
does someone have experiences with this problem?
second problem is how to determinate the colors correctly and, if necessary, change colors of the following photos digitally to the colors of the first photo.
here i've thought of using a test-picture in background that can give me a "mark" how my camera has changed natural colors. will it be possible to customize the color of the test-picture (beside the object) digitally and thus achieve the exact/same color of my object?
i am using
Windows XP SP3
Pentium 4 3,0 GHz
2 GB RAM DDR2
Photoshop CS4
Canon Eos 450D - Makro Objective with ring-flash

Although many of these look like they are made in Maya or 3DS they are in fact real people. This is a 2 part question, first is where does one find larger format high res backgrounds like those in the links below and most importantly how can I make my subjects look like they are on a poster.
If anyone knows how this is done that would be great! I am at a loss! What programs were likely used?

How do I use the standard Revit can lights in a wood joist floor with drywall applied to the bottom? If I place in a suspended ceiling, can lights light up just fine. However, if I use them in the floor space of a wood joist floor, the light itself gets covered with the floor. How can I get the light to cut the floor out so I can see the light when it is rendered?

I would like to ask a question about architectural photography lighting and retouching techniques. You can see some sample sites below: URL.....
These photos are very impressive and possibly taken as HDR.The question is; this transformation can be possible just photoshop retouching even using light? It looks like 3D rendering or PS drawing but we don't sure. Is it Photoshop Plug-In or what kind of technique is it?

I am purchasing a new computer and whether nVidia or AMD would be better for use with Photoshop CS6. In my previous computers, I've only ever had an integrated video card and they worked okay enough with Photoshop. But now I have the opportunity to purchase a computer with an nVidia/2 Gig Vram or an AMD Radeon/1 gig VRAM video card.
I know so much depends on the cpu speed, ram, whether or not you have multiple hard drives, etcetera. What I want for all the other components of the computer, but I have no working knowledge of video cards.
I use Photoshop for photo editing and I also want to eventually use it for High Definition Photography editing.

I need to create a bitmap logo for website and this is the only source I have to work with:Since I have close to zero experience with vector graphics, I obviously cannot redraw it with Illustrator or any similar software. I've already tried with some simplified software specialized for vectors graphics and converters, but without any decent luck.
