Is there a way to reduce or remove color (or a range of color) predominance/dominance? I did a search for a video on youtube , and i didn't find it. I tried with the eyedropper to select a color , solid color ,blend exclusion but nothing.
View 6 RepliesI have an image that uses about 20 different colors (there are 2 colors that dominate the image). I want to reduce the image to just those 2 main colors. How can I do that in Photoshop CS2 or Illustrator CS2?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to design a t-shirt and my aim is to reduce a photograph to a two-colour image, more like a symbol, with bold lines and few details. A little bit like this one, taking this one into GIMP. I have been using the software quite a while for private photos, but I have never attempted something like this...
So far I have managed to remove all content except for "the edges" of the car, but I am a bit lost on how I can make those edges smooth, because now I can see that the masks I used were not "straight"; the photo is reduced to monochrome. Well, what I am asking is: How to progress making a symbol out of a photo, from scratch?
I have 60-something 24 bit PNG images that I've edited in Gimp, many of them include transparency. I want to batch convert them to 256 colors while keeping the transparency. Can this be done? I did try it in another editor and any attempt to keep the alpha channel transparency resulted in totally washed out colors and transparency where none should exist. Conversely, if I skipped the transparency the color depth reduction went well.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a task I need to perform often. I create charts that have descriptive texts below bars. There are two lines of text... a company name, then data on the second line. The text is at a slant, so each bar has its own separate text (i.e., I can't create it as one continues piece of text... but the text below each bar —the two lines— are connected). I want the first line of text to be 8 points and 100% black. The second line of text is to be 7 points and 50% black. So let's say the text is 8 pt Arial. I highlight the second line and run the action on it to reduce it down to 7 points. No problem. Then I run a second action (ideally, I'd like to combine actions, but I can't as you'll see in a moment...) which turns that second line to 50% black. BUT... it turns BOTH lines to gray... not just the line I have highlighted. How can I stop it from doing this? It seems like if I have only certain text highlighted, it should only apply changes to that particulat text! Not ALL of it.

I'd like to combine both actions so that all I have to do is highlight the second line and run both actions. But I can't do that at the moment

I'll attach some photos that will hopefully make this make more sense.

I'm using CS6 on a Mac. The charts are initially generated online, if that makes a difference.
trying to reduce the amount of glare in this picture of my car. The picture will be used in a calendar so I need it to look professional. I tried getting rid of the glare spots by using the healing brush, smudge, and blur tools, but I'm clueless when it comes to the white spots. I tried using a black fill with opacity set to 8, and that helped a little bit. I'm attaching the original and the modified versions, but if anyone wants the high res version to edit it,
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have about 200 hi-res photos that need to be changed to lo-res photos, i.e., from 300 dpi to 72 dpi. Nothing else needs to be changed. The image dimensions will remain the same, although the file size, of course, will be smaller.
I have PS CS3 and Bridge. Of the various ways to do this, which is most efficient? And since I will be doing more of this in the future, should I be thinking about Lightroom?
In CS6, why the file size remains same after croping? And how do I reduce the size after each croping?

Back in the early 80's I had an exhibition of my paintings and took photos from an Olympus OM-10. Each painting had a spotlight mounted above it and as you can see from the attached picture, the light glare is strong at the top of the painting (washing out the color and details) and the glare extends about halfway down the photo. I have Photoshop CS3 Extended. how to eliminate the glare from the top half of the painting?

How to reduce the exposure on this picture, fix red eye, maybe whiten teeth (are they really that dull grey ) and possibly take that blurry guy out from the background.
The only important fix would be to reduce the exposure . All my "Auto-Fix" edit programs cause a bad glare and the picture loses color.
"Cannot complete the reduce noise command in cs2 due to program error." Have uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop but same message appears when I click filter>noise>reduce noise. Same thing happens in filter>sharpen>smart sharpen. These 2 filters used to be working.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed CS4 and I now find that I canonly see a single image at a time, as there always seems otbe a big gey background surrounding the current image. A right click allows me to chnage the useless background color, but not get rid of it. I can't drag from the corner to reduce the size. How do I make it so I can work with and see more than one image at a time?
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy company used to put out a monthly "sales flier". It has been 6 or 7 months since that has actually happened. Previously, the fliers were done up in Publisher by the boss and to be quite honest the end result was very blah looking. I was asked to get this project going again and decided to ditch Publisher for Photoshop.
I created a 2 files (Page 1 and Page 2). Each file is 8-1/2" x 11" with a resolution of 300px. Each file contains 6 large images reduced in size via smart object along with text. As you can imagine this produced a file size of nearly 30mb each. This is too big for us to email out to our customer base which consists of about 100 customers.
What are my options to get these files down to 2mb or below but still keep the integrity of the work? I've tried reducing the resolution, saving as pdf with jpg compression down to low, converting to greyscale (this is something I don't really want to do as the look and feel of the flier is centered all around the colors).
I suppose I could also use some sort of zip/rar program to reduce a bit smaller.
I got a picture that is mostly dark and on the middle of the image there
two shiny bright bulbs of light. I tried to reduce the level of light through the following layers but without a success. Level, Brightness N Contrast,Selective color( by sucking out the white color), and Channel Mixer. I did reduce the light but it seems unreal.
It takes ages to load the Photoshop and not to mention it occupies a lot of memory and CPU.
way to reduce the loading time.
i have a folder with 200+ images, 2mb each. i need to lower the resolution of each of them for a project. i'm sure there's a way to do it simply, but i don't know what it is.

I have a question regarding the best way to reduce the size of a drawing from possibly 8” x 10” to 1”x1”. I am going to hire an artist to draw a characture of one of my clients
and use that as buttons for the website. I am thinking my options are to scan artist’s drawing into PS and reduce image, but I will definitely lose quality. Or I can retrace the drawing in Illustrator and develop a vector drawing, which I can resize . . . but how do I trace color?
when I was using Elements 5.0 I could open two photos, drag one photo into the other, then resize the photo by selecting it and using the handles. I can't find a way to do this in Photoshop CS3. Is this possible?  Am I missing a setting somewhere? I can drag one photo into another and move it around, but just can't resize it.

I'll use Lightroom's "Edit in PS" functionality, make a bunch of edits to the file in CS6, flatten all the layers, and then save the file (as a tiff). The original NEF file was ~40MB but the new tiff file (in this specific example) is over 200MB!

I am currently having a little problem working with Photoshop: I am designing posters and other prints for a festival here, and we usually print the largest posters on A1 intl paper full color. That means working in a huge 300dpi file with quite a lot of layers.
The issue I'm having trouble with concerns the loading and saving of the files (the biggest ones are around 1.1GigaByte). Simply loading the file into PS takes over 5 minutes, slowing down my computer drastically. Saving the file in a .psd format takes even longer, over 10 minutes sometimes.
I doubt this is an issue with the computer, as it has reasonable specs and is only a few months old. So how to reduce the file size of these .psds and thereby optimize their loading time. Because working like this is extremely time consuming and unproductive...
