I have designed a postcard which MUST be exactly 100mm x 150mm. This is being professionally printed mail-order in a batch of 60, so I don't get any tryouts - it has to be correct when I send it.The postcard consists of one image and some text. I want it to be crisp, clear and hi-res.At first I tried to do it in Photoshop 7, but I cannot work out how to get the text next to or around the image.
Then I made a beautiful postcard in Indesign CS2, setting the setup page to 100 x 150. This took 2 hours and it is perfect, HOWEVER, when I export it as a JPG or TIFF it comes out really tiny on the screen and I fear that if I send it to the printer like that it will get stretched to 100 x 150 and consequently get distorted and blurred.I tried exporting it as a PDF then converting that PDF to a JPG but the colours went all blotchy.
So I am back trying to do it in Photoshop 7 but I cannot work out how to make the image exactly 150 x 100 and also get text around it.
I created a new file, set my sizes and all that, 8bit and began...I literally am using the line tool to make a straight line vertically, I then want to use my brush at 2pixels and 100 hardness to "stroke path", I set my brush then select path selection tool and right click on the line, but "stroke path" is grayed out? I really don't understand. I am following these directions from a website on how to create postcard back.
this is what i was following:
Create a new document with the same exact specifications used earlier for the front. Grab the Line tool and draw a straight vertical line shorter than the postcard’s height, and then place it slightly off center. Set your brush to a size of one or two pixels with a hardness of 100 percent. With the Path Selection tool, right click on the line and choose “Stroke Path.”
I created a postcard for my business using PS6. I edited an old card that I had from what I think was a jpg or pdf. I now have photoshop cs2, and I need to edit the text on the card only, not the background. I have it saved as a jpg, and a pdf, however once I open it in CS2, what do I do to be able to delete the old text and begin typing new?
Every time I have tried to use Create 3D Postcard from Layer, PS crashes. Simply starting it, creating a new default doc, and issuing the command will do it every time.
System is XP Pro + all updates on a Dell XPS420 with 3GB RAM.
This problem will probably be very simple for a lot of you. Unfortunately, I'm not as adept at Photoshop as I should, or would like to be.
I want to design a postcard for my business, using several photos in a scattered arrangement on the card, with my business name on.
I'm using Elements 5 and have played around with the "create a greeting card" function. It comes close to what I want to do, but it does seem rather basic. As Photoshop always seems have more than one way of doing something, I was wondering if there is more effective way of going about it, buried in Elements somewhere. Or perhaps there is another, (preferably cheap) program that is better at this. One thing I would like to do is to change the background colour on the card and not have to rely on the background templates offered in the special effects palette. Ultimately, I will be getting them professionally printed, so I will need to supply the printer with the art work in the appropriate form.
I am a photographer and I am trying to straighten a postcard photo of the Washington Memorial. I want to straighten the memorial without harming the rest of my photo (it is a aperture priority photo and I have flowers near my camera and the memorial in the background). So I want to highlight the memorial and straighten it- what is the best way to do this?
I have to create a PostCard template that is the following dimensions: URL....It confuses me what does "Spread" section means and Outer Margin.If somebody is willing to create .xar.
I am highly interested in making maps in photoshop. I usually only used free software but I got Photoshop and I thought I could make some maps on here!
I want something like this:
[URL]....
Notice in the second SS how the mountains and stuff have a nice effect.
So basically I need a tutorial or at least a heads-up as I am a bit of a noob.
I want to protect my pictures from enlarging on photo paper with applying net over image (vertikal and horizontal lines, like some plugin filter in photoshop when it is not registered).
I know about watermarks and resizing pictures but I want to try this. So, how can I create such layered PSD file.
But the location it suggests (C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)Plug-InsFile Formats) does not exist. I've managed to find an alternate location, I assumed it must have changed in CS6.
C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)RequiredPlug-Ins contains a File Formats folder. I copied the .8bi file for .cur files and it still did not allow me to save anything as a .cur. I am using Windows 8, 64 Bit.I also copied the file to the Adobe Bridge CS6 Plug-Ins folder.
I have two images. I want to make one image look as though it is coming out of the other. In the middle of the image. I have an image of a forge. and the other is a saxophone. I want to combine the two so that it looks like the sax is be made from the fire in the forge. I just want the bottom of the sax not be shown.
How do I make my CS6 function like CS3? I just upgraded. Every image I have opened is a new window on my taskbar. I open up 50+ images at a time quite often and I just have like 50 little windows on my taskbar. I also hate the tabbed view cause I drag and drop images around on each other all the time.
Are there any good tutorials for making textures for 3d objects? Not the objects themselves. Just the textures. I'm thinking of things like, rusty metal, water, stone, bricks, etc.
I'd like to make some dots similar to this attached clip. I have tried embossing, etc. but they don't look quite like this. I'm on a MAC, Photoshop CS3.
For example, I will use the lasso tool to make a selection on a photo, as soon as I attempt to do this the image disappears, goes black, it will flicker on and off, when eventually the image reappears the selection has not been made. This is the new Photoshop CC.

Ok after seeing the camera Ronmatt made and seen that others have also made cameras I'm going to try it. I've attached the camera I want to make! I've "read" tutorials, but have always been to chicken to actually attempt it....I've kept in the safety of Photo manipulation.
Ok I've got a question for people that have actually tried this photo realism stuff. When tutorials talk about adding a "gradient overlay"
they are talking about "layer style" / Gradient overlay right? as oposed to adjustment layer gradients or the Gradient tool right?
Damn the torpedoes full speed ahead! This is how I learn or give up....so here it goes see you all in a while...I will show you guys what ever comes out!
How do I make my own photoshop brush? I took a photo of a mushroom and after editing it, I basically now have just a mushroom in a layer. I just want to know how to define it as a brush. Is there an option to make a layer into a brush pattern?
Is it possible? Couldn't find it with a quick run-through of the menus. And no results were returned after searching for "screenshot" in the help. Not feeling to good about the possibility right now.
I looked online, but all the tutorials weren't what I wanted. Could someone tell me the steps to making a picture look like it's snowing it? For my site, I'm making logos for different current events, and I'm going to do 5 different logos for Christmas, and will all have snow in them. Any ideas?
we just got a server and now everytime we open photoshop up it creates a folder called our username on the root of the server and we have to keep deleting it. it's frustrating and also confusing as we have another folder deeper down the subdirectories on the server with this name so would rather photoshop didn't keep making this folder.
I am working on project where I need to make some b/w photographs of women look like sculptural works of art. Marble, bronze, etc. I have used many filters to try to acheive this, even combining some together but with little success.
