I'm working on a graphic for a website that has a space-ish theme. The image is one of several ships in a fire-fight.
The hardest part of this image(the one I cant figure out how to do) is to make engine flares for the ships coming out the rears.

View 1 Replies View RelatedTwo weeks ago I upgraded to Creative Cloud's Photoshop CS6 and up to now no problems then, all of a sudden - with the final step of a website design just minutes away I got a window warning me that something has stopped the text engine from working.
I was using the text tool and when I clicked on the layer the warning window appeared.
I cannot type text. i get a message saying :
could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized.

lens flare filter in photoshop 7.0.
How do you add lens flare to a transparent layer and still be able to see it the lens flare itself? I want to create lens flare on a transparent layer so that I can move around on top of my background.
could not figure out a way to create the flare on a card that I saw.

I will NOT be using a background image. All I want is the text & the light flare thing going over it.
I have got a black 256x256 canvas and I want to place a single lens flare on there, but I found after doing so that lots of extra "circles" and things appear around the lens flare.
Is there a way to just have the 'bulb' and glow of the surrounding light and not all these extra circles?
I can't get the Lens Flare to work with step two.

I'm working with Photoshop CS6 and I'm working with a lot of layers with Masks presently (I'm not sure if this is worth mentioning or not) and I'm trying to add text to my image but I keep getting an error message saying: "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from initializing." How do I fix this? I just had a problem where I had to re-install the software from scratch because Photoshop wouldn't open files or create any new files, but, like I said, I've already uninstalled and reinstalled it.

Did Adobe change the Brushes engine from CS3 to CS4?
Is Adobe taking "illustrators" in mind during the PS development?
We need better and realistic natural media controls, like watercolours (what about Moxi?),impasto, etc.; a colour wheel could be better than the actual color palettes, some palette to put a selection of brushes.
Could we hope that the "artistic" side of Photoshop will be improved soon?
I see photographers having nice sun flares in their pictures. All warm and pretty and what not. How do I do the same? is this a feature in Photoshop cs6 or in light room?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow would you go about removing the red lens flare in front of the dark trees in the background? Maybe also the blue one below the couple... but on that I'd probably just paint over with the clone stamp. Can you spot any "bad" edits done already?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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.
How can I change the color of the lens flare in PhotoshopCS2?

View 1 Replies View Related1. Create a new square document, say 500x500 pixels. Fill the background with black using the paint bucket (G) tool. Whatever size document you choose to create, it must be square for the latter part of the tutorial to work.
2. Make your self a simple design using Lens Flare (Filter>>Render>>Lens Flare) You should have something like below if you used my design.
3. Hit Ctrl + U and change the saturation of the image to -100 (Don't check colourize)
4. Head up to Filter >> Blur >> Radial Blur and use these settings. (Hit ctrl + F to repeat this step)
5. Go to Filter >> Distort >> Twirl and set it to 100. Duplicate the layer, and repeat the twirl with a setting of -200. Set the blending mode of the new layer to lighten, and merge the two. You can stop here, but if you wish to keep going keep reading.
6. It looks a little blurry doesn't it? Never fear, we're going to fix this now. Hit Ctrl + L and enter these settings
7. Duplicate the merged layers, and rotate the new layer 90*CW. Set the blending mode to Colour Burn to get a totally differen't effect. You're done. You can now use Ctrl + U to colorize the new image.
I have a fill layer set to 50% gray and I am trying to do a lens flare for a tutorial in the Advanced Photoshop Mag but when I go to do a "Lens Flare" it is greyed-out and unclickable.
