View 6 RepliesI am preparing a batch of images for test submission, for a stock photo library.Recently a person working for one of the visual effects studios in London happened to tell me that these strict agencies use some set of layers that can separate tonality and color values to check for banding, dirtiness, noise and all those technical flaws that the human eye can't notice on a monitor.He said they perhaps have an action for it so that they can review faster.
He said that it is known as 'Craze Curves' or 'Visibility Curves' technique.He further added that all the studios use it before giving the final files to clients so that there is no issue in printing afterwards.It is sort of a quality control check and has been used by digital and advertising agencies all over the world.
But now his email seems to have changed and I can't get in touch with him to know how to use the technique.
REmember in the darkroom if you wanted the subject to be looking right instead of left, you could do that by flipping the negative?
View 3 Replies View Relatedim taking pictures of silver and in order to bring out the silver I just duplicate the layer and screen the top layer at about 75%. I then flatten the image and save as jpg. So now that ive done this to about 350 pictures, the need arises to darken the jewelry a bit. Is it possible to reverse the screen or play around with the curves in order to get back to the original state of the picture?

This is a kind of negative of what should happen. If I make a selection from the path I get the entire background selected instead of the item.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there anything that lets you select part of the image with a "Rectangle Marquee Tool" and then something that reverses that selection to everything that was unselected before, making the selected, un-selected and the un-selected, selected?
Example: I have a picture in a frame. I select the picture part leaving the frame un-selected. I need a button that reverses that selection to select the frame only, leaving the picture un-selected.
I would like to mirror a car, to look into the other direction, but i realsied when i flip horizontally, that the steering wheel also flips and goes to the other side Its the same with the texts and graphics on the car... I tried to replace it with the original and free transform it to the right position but is doesnt works. I also tried the perspective and the warp transform tools but without success...
View 1 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.
I want to create a path using the circle tool, then put 3 words text around the path, one along the top, and two along the bottom. But I want the text on top going clockwise, and the text on bottom going counter-clockwise, so it isn't upside down and backwards. I put the text on top, and for a moment I had the text tool reversed on bottom, but I lost it and can't get it to work again. I think I used the command key while placing the text.
how to reverse the direction of text along a path around a circle?
is it possible to create a gradient brush with the colors fading from black to white, and then edit the colors so instead of black fading into white, it's now black fading into transparent?
(so the pixels that were pure yellow are now completely transparent, the pixels that were slightly darker yellow are now almost completely transparent, the pixels that were dark yellow are now barely transparent, and the black pixels remain completely black.)
(I was only able to do it now because I started off with that black/transparent image)
I want to do this so I can change the color of the yellow.. I could use replace color,
What I'm basically trying to do is be able to change stuff in images/screenshots, like add a pattern to a white shirt (so, get rid of all of the white), but completely preserve the darkness of its wrinkles/shadows etc. A friend told me I should just desaturate it, then make it like 50% transparent, then duplicate it so there's 2 of those layers.. and add the new pattern behind it. But it doesn't look that good..
I trimmed an object in my template by accident (Argh!) and have now lost all the objects outside of the trim box. The files still show in my layers section, but I cannot see the objects - can I reverse this process?
I have tried to resize the canvas again but the objects still do not show....I have a back up template but have not added all my new objects to it recently.
Using CS3: I can swear at one time I knew how to do this, but I can't for the life of me get it now. What I want is the oval on it's own layer, the line above, and any overlapping or common areas knocked out as I draw.
On this sample I just selected the line, merge-selected the oval, and then deleted the selection from each. Works fine, but it's destructive, which I want to avoid. I have tried every combination of layer/blending modes, but I get nothing...
I'm running CS3 on a Vista machine with no problem excepting for this intermittent crop tool thing. Say I've got a photo but need to crop out a small rectangular shape at the right. The crop tool saves the shape and wants to crop the rest of photo.
I've dumped my prefs.
I've selected "crop" and hit the clear key.
It still selects the inverse of what I'm asking it to do. I've even looked under "select inverse" to see if I could reverse it from there.
Can I reverse an image that has been transferred to digital reversed (i.e. Slide reversed and transferred)? I'm using Elements 10.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been using PSE8 successfully for several years. After using it all week, when I tried to open it today, I got a message that said something to the effect "cannot open because file is corrupt or cannot be updated and/or the catalog should be converted". Suspecting that after so many years I had too many files, I thought I needed to convert (not really knowing what that meant and no explanation was clear). After many attempts, it finally did that (converted) but now the only files that are included in the organizer are the files that were contained in my previous PSE version 6. Nothing beyond 2009 exists in this catalog. I made many albums from our travels in 2010, 2011, & 2012 that I spent hours creating and can't stomach the idea that they're lost.
how to, or even if it is possible, to find the old (new) catalog and switch it back. I'm thinking I could do a system restore but am not sure that's the most efficient way to fix this problem.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have just updated to Autocad 2013. While working on existing drawings (previously created in V2012), I am having issues with the SCALE command. Most times, but not always, when I add a line or block, with a base point on an existing line or object and try to scale it, I get an "extremely small scale factor ignored" message, although I did not get a chance to enter a scale factor. While it appears most times, but not always, if I draw a new line in empty space on that same drawing, I am able to use the SCALE command without problems. I also have the same issue when trying to scale an existing line or block, most times but not always.
Here is a copy of the command line while I am trying to make it work:
Command: l
LINE
Specify first point:
Specify next point or [Undo]: 100
Specify next point or [Undo]:
Command: sc
SCALE
Select objects: 1 found
Select objects:
Specify base point:
Specify scale factor or [Copy/Reference]:
Extremely small scale factor ignored.
Command:
SCALE
Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 1 found
Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 1 found, 2 total
Select objects:
Specify base point:
Specify scale factor or [Copy/Reference]:
Extremely small scale factor ignored.
If you notice, it does not give me the chance to enter a scale factor. As soon as I pick the base point, it skips over to the error message, yet displays the scale factor prompt with a blank factor. I'm experiencing this issue on various files (not all but most), so I don't think it is a corrupt file. Why I get this and if I can correct it?
I have a floor plan with a very long footprint in a "View" drawn at a convenient scale.
The long building had to be broken to be put on several different "Sheets", and each of the floor plans on each of the sheet has a scale.
When I change the scale of the partial plan on one "Sheet", all the other sheets also change to the same scale and also the original view changes to the new scale.
Is there a way to assign the desired scale of the plan on one sheet without affecting the scale on the other sheets and on the original drawing view?
am in the process of setting up a standard file for all designers to use our local office. This file will have most of the styles created for profiles, alignments, surfaces, profile views, etc... as mostly specified by the customer and industry standards.
I am having trouble maintaining the correct annotation scale in the viewport in paperspace and when plotting.
The attached word document has 3 figures. Fig 1 shows the correct viewport scale and correct annotation scale. Fig 2 shows how the annotation scale abruptly changes during the plotting process. This abrupt annotation scale change sometimes happens during the regen process or when I switch from layout to model space and back to layout.The annotation scale goes from 1:1 to 1:40 just as in the viewport. This change in annotation scale is not supposed to happen because I want to preserve a certain plotting height for my text versus a viewport scale by using various annotation scales.
I have researched the procedures for annotation scale and have not found any info related to this "abrupt change in annotation scale".
Curiously , this abrupt change in annotation scale does not happen if the text does not belong to any styles within Civil 3D. Stand alone text stays at the correct annotation scale and is not affected in the same way.
We have recently noticed that after printing a PDF of a drawing I plotted from AutoCAD we are coming up with differences when we double check the scale on the printed hardcopy using a carpenter ruler.
For example, there is a dimension labeled on the drawing of 200 ft. However, if I try to scale this out with a carpenter's ruler at the drawing was set to (say for instance it is 1 inch = 100 ft) I am coming up short of the 2 inches it should be (typically come up around an 1-15/16" or around 194 feet, approx 97% of the correct amount).
In the Page Setup Manager in AutoCAD, I have the following options selected (see the print screen as well):
Printer/plotter selected: DWG to PDF.pc3
Paper Size: ANSI full bleed B (11.00 x 17.00 Inches)
What to Plot: Layout
I don't have a plot scale scale other than the default 1" = 1'
No plot style selected
Then, on the print menu when I open the PDF that I have exported from AutoCAD, I have the following settings (see the print screens I have attached):
Printer: The printer I use (Konica Minolta c650 Series PCL)
And I have selected the Options "Auto Rotate and Center" and "Choose paper source by PDF page size**"
** Note, that I have tried unselecting the "Choose paper source by PDF page size" option and accordingly changed the paper size in the "Page Setup..." button at the btoom to match the document size (i.e. 11.0 x 17.0in) and it gets the difference to be closer (i.e. I now get 198 ft but some of my border gets cut off). See the print screen below for this a print screen of the print menu and sub-menu of Page Setup showing the paper size selected.
I saw that some people in other forums state that there is no real solution when trying to scale off of PDF's and that there should be a disclaimer saying as much if you are to send the file out to a customer who may rely on doing some in the field scaling from the printed copy of the PDF file. I find it hard to believe there is no solution as we have received some drawings from others whom the scaling works just fine.
When I open a new drawing in my AutoCAD 2013 that I just recently installed last week, I encounter a problem that I am not familiar with from previus versions of AutoCAD I have worked on. First of all, the units default to decimal, and I want them to default to architectural, with feet and inches. I have to type UNITS in the command line every time I open a new drawing in order to adjust this. I have AutoCAD for Architecture 2012 on another computer, and the program automatically defaults to architectural units upon opening up. Just to let you know, the program I am having this difficulty with is part of a package called Autodesk Building Design Suite 2013. I was under the impression that it included AutoCAd for Architecture, but I think it has only standard AutoCAD.
The scale of the objects I draw vs. the scale of the drawing field is very out of proportion. What I mean is, when I open a new drawing and draw a 30' -0" line, the line appears so long on the screen that I cannot see the whole object, even if I zoom out to the maximum. I should be able to see the object in it's entirety. In fact, when I draw a line that is only 12" long, even when the zoom is all the way out, the line looks huge in length. I have tried adjusting the units to the architectural/inches setting of course, and I have tried adjusting the scale in model space from 1:1 to 1/4'=1'-0", but nothing is working.
I am working on automating page setups in model space and am looking for a way to set the plot scale equal to the annotation scale for scaled drawings with
(setvar "filedia" 0)
(setq a (getstring (getvar "cannoscale")))
(command "-plot" "YES" "MODEL" "" "" "" "" "" "" !A "" "" "" "" "" "" "_Y" "_N")
Setting the plot scale with !A causes the lisp to fail. However, when running each prompt through the command line individually, !A works fine. what is missing?
When I'm editing pix, and need a quick large solid brush for a couple seconds, (1-inch dia), I slide "scale", but it's nearly impossible to manually rest scale back to default without restarting Gimp...
Can there be a dot-button beside scale that auto-sets scale back to default..? and/or a timer on scale changes that resets scale back to default after ten-seconds..?
I am trying to insert a block into a file in Acad 2014 and it comes in too large. If I insert the same block into the same file using Acad 2012 it comes in at the correct scale. Doesn't seem to matter if insunits is 0 or 1, or insunitsdefsource or insunitsdeftarget are also 0 or 1.
There must be some variable or variables I'm missing.
