I just switched over from paint.net actually. Anyway, one of my favorite effects I made in paint.net was a gradient bars effect (as seen in this image):
Now, I really want to know how to make this in Photoshop .
What I want to do is take a design and automatically filter it to divide it into four parts that are moved into the corners of the image for tiling, like the Make Seamless feature. But I don't want any image-changing effects other than that, like gradients, which can't be turned off when using Make Seamless. What can I do?
If I have to do it manually, how do I do this? I can't seem to understand how to use the grid or ruler to find the exact center or divide the image into four equal parts.
I am trying to make a shape made from the blob tool made into hafltones. I do not want it as a gradient, just equal sized halftones throughout the shape. Is this possible?
When I do it using Effects/pixilate/color haltone it makes multiple colored halftones, whereas I just want one color. And when I change the channel's it comes up with similar results.
How to make animated user bars. This is useful if you have more than one userbar and want to display them in the same image. The end result will look like this.
There is no limit to the amount of images you can animate.
OK, firstly, we need a userbar. If you haven't got some you can make your own. I have made a tutorial with all the information you will ever need to know. You can view it here.
Once you have made some, open 1 up in The GIMP. Make sure you only open one, this is important.
Then go to, File ---> Open as Layer . . .
Select your other userbar and hit OK. What this does is open the userbar as a layer. Look, you can see the two userbars as seperate layers in my layer window.
Keep doing this to you have opened all the userbars you want to include in your animation. When you have done, go to File ---> Save as . . .
Save it as, "Userbars.gif". It is important to include the .gif, without this, the animation will not work. A window, will appear. Put in these settings.
Click "Export".
A new window will appear. Put in these settings.
Click OK.
You have now animated your userbars. Nothing to it really.
how to do this cool gradient effect on photos,
I tried to do a gradient overlay but that doesnt do it.
I 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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI was working on a design. I had a dark gray background and was going to do a soft white gradient effect in my selection.
When I went to do it, for some reason it was reversed. The gradient came into the selection but just above the selection was a darker color. So it looked like a gradient with a shadow all at once.
Then I looked at my layers and noticed I was not in the new layer, but I was on my background layer, so it was one layer.
So when I did the design, I went back to play with gradients and it wouldn't happen anymore. Does anyone know how this happened, it was a nice effect.
My mode was on "normal" and the only difference is that I was on a background layer already filled with color, so I thought that was it, but apparently not.
it looked pretty clean to get a gradient with a shadow effect on the outside of the selection. The only other way it does some of this effect, is when I feather the selection and use foreground/background color with the gradient tool, but it's not the same.
Just came across this awesome red/yellow picture. Just wondering how you would create the colors like that? I have Palm Tree Brushes for the tree silhouettes, but I don't know how to turn a normal beach image into bright red/yellow like that!

View 2 Replies View RelatedSay i have filled an area with Gradient fill and i open up the Gradient editor to refine the gradient, i realize that i cannot 'live' preview how the tuning affects the gradient in the object.
This can be achieve in Illustrator CS2 from gradient palette. i was wondering can it be done in Photoshop Cs2 with any shortcut or so?
(i was thinking any other way to achieve that without using Gradient overlay , Layer style? because i want to create several objects with differnt Gradients on the same layer)
Else, are there any external plugin/script to achive that?

Secondly, is there any command to align anchor points in PS? like align them vertically or something, i notice there is no paths palette in Ps( where are the commands to manage anchor points located at)?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing CSS, I want to put a semi-transparent image over another image (by semi-transparent I mean a GIF in which alternating pixels are transparent - see attachment).
I drew this image basically pixel-by-pixel (via copy/paste), and it's ok as far as it goes, but what I REALLY want is for the density of opaque pixels to increase from left to right, so the effect when laid over an image is essentially that of a gradient. I DON'T want to have to draw this image pixel by pixel!
Whenever I try and accomplish this in Photoshop, it uses semi-transparent pixels which then become opaque when optimized. If I could figure out how to tell photoshop to build a gradient using only 1 color and no semi-transparent pixels (or barring that, white and another color and then I could delete the white...),

I am trying to acheive the same angle gradient effect that can be done in Photoshop but in Illustrator. The actual thing I want to be able to create as a vector is the graphic attached...
Can this be done by somehow using the blend tool and replacing the spline with a circle?
If you take blend tool to gate one color to other or same or gray scale it give correct result. But if you use New color style and new gradient it show wrong effect in CMYK.

How can I make a stipple gradient in Illustrator CS4? In drawings for design patents, the US Patent office requires, where shading is needed for clarity, stippled gradients. (Note: line gradients can be used unless the design incorporates lines that would be obscured/confused by the use of line gradients.) Generally, the lighting is assumed to be from the top left and the shading is implemented accordingly.Other gradient effects are forbidden. Illustrator (version 8 -- yes, I've used it swimmingly for 10 years and only recently upgraded to CS4) has provided for stipple gradients. That is, you could make a 20% to 120% stipple for example. Now, with CS4, I can't see how to create a stippled gradient.
