View 1 RepliesI have a picture of a trumpet. I was wondering how you could take the image and blur the background, leaving the trumpet in focus. The "flaring" or putting lighting effects on certain spots of the trumpet, like the valve tops and bottoms.

I know if I want to select only the top one now that I have to isolate the shape first, but this is terribly inneficient for the way I've been editing vector shapes for years now.
Is there any way to turn off multiple layer path selection and having to isolate anything? While the new feature can be nice at times, it's mostly more of a hinderence than a way out.
I have a photo (attached) and wish to do two things with it. I hope a) to emphasise both the earthenware texture of the vase and its wooden background to give the image some contrast and b), to recolour the brown fence in royal blue. I have tried to do this using the eyedropper tool and then Image | Adjustments | Replace colour, but because the vase itself is coloured in a shade of brown I find that in addition to blue replacing brown as the fence colour, it also replaces it as the colour of the vase.
So, I somehow need to 'lift' the vase from the image, then recolour the fence in isolation, and then put the vase back into the photo - but I am not sure how to do that.
how do I isolate an objects from its background?

I want to make it readable in 2d by changing the linetype of each so it's easier to read.
The map is pretty large, I was hoping there was some way I could isolate all lines with the same Z Vertex so I could do an entire elevation at once?
I'm kinda new to Xara Photo and graphic Designer 6. I have photos of appliance spares. I need to use only the images of the spare parts for an advert(of which the background will be white) - I dont want the background of the photo.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of setting up Civil 3D styles for survey and trying to overcome some challenges that are a great source of frusteration. The key items I am trying to accomplish are as follows:
Be able to isolate all points on a layer (sorted individually by descriptor key matching to V-NODE-XXXX) WITHOUT the use of point groups. I see point groups as a very inefficient way to do this. I want to be able to select Layiso, grab one point and have full display of all points on that node layer and start connecting the dots.Be able to control node layer display individually (ie. all topo points gray, found points green, control pink, etc)Setup a quick toggle to turn off display of all points and basic markers except those which have a symbol assigned to them and should be shown on the map.
I have everything working the way I want with the exception of being able to use layiso to display all points on a layer. Currently my point label styles are set to layer 0 byblock which passes display to the point object. I have created a layer called V-NODE-HIDE that I set as the layer for non-symbol markers and all point labels. Point markers that are symbols that should be displayed on a map are put on their associated V-TOPO-XXX-SYMB layer. When finished mapping I want to be able to type "PH" (Point Hide) and hide all point labels and basic markers by freezing V-NODE-HIDE. The issue is that because point objects, labels and markers are on different layers, when I isolate a single point, everything disappears.
Is there a lisp routine that will extract all layers from sub-components of a Civil 3D object and add those layers to the isolate? This would solve my issue and give me all of the functionality I am looking for. I have seen several discussions along this line on the forums, but not a solution that fits my needs. I am open for pretty much any suggestion other than I need to have a point group created for every single descriptor I have and have to move groups up and down the hierarchy to get the display I need. It is just too inefficient.
There is a Tut on how to do random lightning, but how do i do lightning on which i can direct. e.g. lightning under text. Can anyone give me any advise or locations of tut's.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi recently took this pic in utah and i posted it in another forum and someone said to lighten the shadows to make it look better. Now the only way i know how to lighten the shadows would be to use curves but then i always end up lightening the whole pic. So then i tried shadows/highlights but have never really worked too much with that in just working on shadows and not the whole picture.
So here is the before picture....

How to add 3d files (Studio max, Cinema,...) to photoshop and use some brush techniques.
Its been a while but I made a banner a couple years back following an extremely well setup tutorial I found online... I want to use the same concept for something else I'm working on but I JUST CANT REMEMBER all the steps to create it!
I remember how to make some of the stuff... Clouds, Difference Clouds, some stuff like that... But the main problem I'm having is remembering how to animate it to look the way it does.

Simply fill the area that you want filled in with random lightning with black.
After that is done, go to:
1) ->Filter->Render->Clouds
2) -> Filter->Render->Difference Clouds
3) Press Control + I to inverse the colors
4) Press Control L to select the levels
5) Adjust the levels so that the lightning is dimmed but not too much.
And from there you can change the colors by pushing Control U, and click on the "Colorize" check box. Adjust the colors as you wish! and mess with it to get cool effects!
I've been using photoshop 7.0 for quite some time now and i've realized that when I go to Filter > Render > Lightning effects.... i cant use the styles bar anymore....i use to be able to but recently i just cant anymore.... anyone know why i cant use the styles option in "Lightning effects" ? Would having win xp sp2 cause some conflict ?

I'm using 3ds (mental ray) for architectural visualization. I normally have different cameras for exterior and interior renders in one model. Each scene should have its own specific lightning and shadow settings (intensity, shadow position, etc)
Is it possible to have multiple sun positions in the same model which would be connected to each camera?
If not, what would be the best way to achieve various lightning settings? I would like to avoid having one file for each camera position.
I am looking for a good lightning solution to use in a number of scenes. I looked at Draper's pflow lightning setup but could not get it to work correctly.. in the short framecount I need it to occur.It looked great but only over 600 frames.
