I am not sure what is done, but clearly skintones are very soft and almost plastic in sheen (?), and the entire image has sort of a soft, almost magical, feeling. Anyone know how to achieve this look?
I've scanned some of my old Yearbook portraits for a project I'm working on. These are, as you can imagine, those small, black & white yearbook photos that are arranged in rows alongside your fellow classmates whose last names start with the same letter as yours.
Naturally, these photos are rather tiny. So I used PDN to resize them to appear larger. Unfortunately, what I end up getting is a recognizable photograph of a younger me, but there appears to be a "checkerboard" effect whereby the horizontal lines appear purplish-blue against a grey background while the vertical lines are somewhat faded. I'm assuming this is clearly because of the fact that I had to resize said photo by several hundred percent.
I'm wondering if there's any way to get rid of that checkerboard effect.
This may have been touched on in another topic but probably not as specific as I need. Can anyone tell me what benefits(specifically, new features, updated features) are there for a portrait studio to upgrade from Photoshop CS3 to CS4? The studio I work for is trying to decide if it is worth the upgrade or if we should just wait for CS5.
If you had to work on a portrait (ie, change a background) and print it at 16x20, what size and resolution would you work on it at?
A 16x20 picture in photoshop @ 300 or even 200 dpi would be quite large, even without layers. I'm just trying to get a good idea of what I should be scanning at, I usually work on images at around 8x10 & 300 dpi.
I want to upload on my web site students and college colour portrait photos (in contacts sheets) but they have different skin colour ( most has yellow cast but some don't). Is it possible to make some action (to take initial colour of some proper skin colour of the portrait) and apply to all pictures. Maybe some plugin is available.
I am almost sold on getting Xara. But I know MOST of what I will be doing is making people's faces look better. Are there easy tools for enhancing skin and in general enhancing portraits? are there videos?
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?
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.
how do l get the chrome effect on my solid model also the effect of metal's. I've been using AutoCad Colour Index - True colour and Book Colour, but it just doesn't look right.
This happens in all versions I have been able to check in - CS5.5, CS6 & CC.
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
See attached image below - cannot believe I never saw this before
Have a project and need to find a way to produce a x-ray effect on a object.
Some methods have entered my mind on how this could be accomplished - > inverting the excised object from my photo(s) > desaturate the objects > inject some artificial luminescence with glow or lighting effects > create a canvas for the x-ray - Before any serious time is invested I thought it would be a good idea to see if anyone has done this before, or has any ideas.
I want to put a Sun onto an existing photo that looks very similar to this with all of the beams coming out, to make it look very realistic. Has anyone got any tips on how to create this or a good tutorial i could look at?
I've tried converting my image to grayscale then to bitmap, round halftones but I cannot achieve a similiar effect. Was this done another way? I was thinking the frequency (lines/inch) of my halftone was off, would there be a rule to follow as to how many lines per inch depending on image size?
i seen this on another forum and i would love to know how the effect was created. The guy who posted it says that the only filter he used was gausian blur.
I am trying to get at is a frontpage of a newspaper. I am going to scan a newspaper and replace the headings with my desired text..
Secondly I am going to replace the photo on the newspaper frontpage with my desired photo. Now, the whole page will be black and white, even the photo. But specific objects in the photo will be colored. Eg, the shoes will be colored but the rest of the body B&W.. How can I get that effect?
I've noticed a new lil' effect goin' around.. Looks like the pen tool is being used but could someone make a tutorial as to how it's done or link me to one? (Hence I've more of a visual learner, I'd preferr a tutorial with images) Here is what I'm talking about...
(The highlighted pen shaped areas. I know how to do the pattern,text,button,border... I just can't figure out how people are making those pen effects...)
