I use photoshop CS4 and have taken a couple individual photos of a hockey player on the ice. The hockey player is perfect but the background is so dark. How do I go about changing it to a lighter shade (actually REALLY lighter)
I came across a tutorial for lightening effects. I tried it out step by step but in the end i came closs but no cigar. Can anyone explain to me an effective way to do lightening effects?
I have this picture of a wall mural. It is all in monotone creamy colours with some blacks and browns. There was lighting at the top of the wall. I should have used flash to even it at the bottom but couldn't ... so, what I would like to do is somehow make the lower part of the pic as bright as the upper part.
Can someone please let me know why I'm getting a color shift (the entire image lightens noticably) when I export an image or animated gif with "Save for Web & Devices...". It happens on PCs and Macs, and with both CS3 and CS2.
I've been using this feature (flawlessly until a few months ago) long enough to realize that there are several settings to adjust the color table, dithering, web snap, etc., but adjusting these settings don't seem to fix the problem. When I use "Save As..." the color shift doesn't occur, and that's been my workaround, but I'm currently trying to save a few animated gifs, which must be saved with "Save for Web & Devices..." in order to retain the animation.
I had about twenty seconds to take this picture last night but only to notice it is rather dark due to the limited lighting in that area. I have tried various settings in Lightroom to brighten it up enough to see the moon and the building in the foreground but the pictures just come out to grainy and a slight purple look. what i can do for this?
I have been trying to make "lightening holes" for a Beech 18 wingtip bulkhead. It is basically a hole that is flanged on a 30 degree radius at 1/4 inch.
I have have had very little success trying to replicate this with the Sheet Metal Punch Tool (Round Emboss) but the iFeatures will not allow me to enter a value for the angle, diameter, and height.
I seem to be having problems when I lasso round a specific part of a photo taken with a white background and then try to add that part of the image to a plain #000000 black background.
I always seem to get a white outline around the image when I place it on the black background, even when its on ZERO feathered. I don't like using feathered as it adds a smudge round the outside of the image.
I have some text documents in PDF format and would like to edit it in photoshop CS5, but each time I open them up in photoshop, the background seems to be transparent (tiny grey and white tiles), which is very eye tiring when editing/annotating with a wacom pen, how to fill the background total white?
I recently saw on TV that someone had 2 nearly identical images - one with just the background, another one from exactly the same point of view featuring an object before the background.
He was then able to subtract the background so only the object in front remained. Is that possible with Photoshop as well? I have version CS3.
I am using my CS2 on OSX and when I view the image in a full screen mode the color around the image is grey, well it used to be grey but it is blue now. How do I change it back to neutral grey?
I was asked to cut out the background from a logo to make it transparent so the logo would look nice on a variety of backgrounds. I've been given a good quality jpeg file.
What I did was I selected (by colour) the background (white), inverted the selection, copied it and pasted as a new image.
It's all fine (the logo itself doesn't have any other elements) but there's still some whiteish/greyish outline around certain elements of the logo.
If I were to do it manually, it'd probably take ages. What would be the best way to accomplish it?
I want to change a 1920-1080 p background, into a 1920 - 1200 background.
I don't want to re-size it or lose image quality, the background for this can be easily replicated through some simple editing (drawing strait lines with the paint brush tool, and basically filling in to expand the background) Is there a way to do this? Here is the picture I want to change:
[URL].....
I just want it so that the pin-wheel design extends outward as to make the entire image 1920-1200, rather then the 1920-1080 it is now. (without losing image quality of the center wheel.)
I'm a bit new to this, I have a photo of my daughter and she has long hair and it's a bit wispy at times, what is the best way to extract her from the background, wispy hair and all.
I've tried extract but it didn't work very good. I don't mind if I have to buy another program to interact with PS to make it work.
ok.....so i wanna make a opening animation for my flash where different parts of my button move (im making my button in photoshop) but i need to save the image with no background....just the image i made.
Im on a MacBook Pro and I just installed Photoshop CS3. Its all fine n dandy, but the actual photoshop window bugs me. There is no background for the application. so if I'm working on something, switch to firefox to look at something, then switch back to photoshop I can still see the firefox window.
How can I add a background? I cannot stand this, It distracts my eye from the actual document.
I've look through the options and I cannot find anything, awhile ago I found some 3rd party mac software that added a background to any app, but I can't find it again.
I am creating an invitation for my wedding. All I am trying to do is place 2 images (family crests) on one page without them overlaping. I create a 'NEW' page with the U.S. Paper preset, then 'Place' one pic in the upper right, resize it to fill the top right corner, then 'Place' the other one in the bottom left and resize it to fill the bottom left corner. Problem is, the background of the second image overlaps the first one (white background). When I try to select the part that overlaps and cut it, it says I can't because it's a Smart Object. All I want to do is to be able to see the 1st image behind the second one. The images themselves would not overlap if they were transparent, just the white background of the images... I hope this makes sense... I need to be able to see-through the parts that overlap, since that area is just white background anyway!
I would like to create a texture for a picture, an example is the background at the site www.bytheblade.com except I want to have a tan tint to it instead of grey.
how to set Photoshop to run in the background? I am doing batch processing of hundreds of photos at a time and I would like to be able to work on other stuff while that is happening.
What i mean is like i take a pic of a nice background(let take a example like the tree that i draw one). Then i want to turn it to the pic below the original tree. so the tree become what the pic show.
The background color of new image is coming up tan, though 'white' is selected. I've seen a few posts on other sites about this but there isn't a clear solution.
I've created a new rgb doc and selected white as the background color. The background shows as tan though the color picker shows the white rgb code. The color picker is also not visually displaying white in the pallet.
Is it possible in Photoshop CS6, to make the tab background go away? I find the background box that you need to work in, gets in my way. I cant see the finder/desktop underneath it like I could in CS5.
how do you add to a layer from another layer, for instance, the background?
There are TONS of explanations for how to take away from a layer or create a new layer (layer mask) but nothing on how to add to a layer once it's already made. I made this layer with the magic wand tool and now I simply need to add little bits in to the layer that the magic wand missed.
