I have been doing wedding photo'sphtoshop restorations for the last 6 years. But, recently i have been offered a job to do art for billboards. Theres a problem though! I have never had to make anything on that scale before, its always been nothing larger that a 10X13 really. Question is what do i need to do to design something that is going to be that large of scale? Is there a certain way that it needs to be saved...jpeg, tiff etc.? I am using CS2, and a nikkon D50.But i really dont think i will have to actually shoot anything, just photoshop images that they give me.
I've been tasked to design a Billboard Ad for a friend of mines company. I already have a design in mind, but I don't know where to start. How should I set it up, what DPI, and all that jazz.
how to set up a document to have it made into a Billboard Ad...
I'm talking about the gigantic full color signs that we often see along the highway, Billboard Signs.
I've seen them for advertising for cars, radio stations, soups, pretty much everything.
I'm wondering, what program do they use to make something of that size?
I mean, surely it's not as simple as taking an image into photoshop and creating whatever wording you want on it; then telling it to print to a massive printer.
I actually have a task set before me to design such a thing,
I am working on a project, and heard that the advertising agencies, they save the project. Then convert eps to pdf with acrobat distiller, which it puzzled me is that the file is small, with high quality, I received a file and saw those who use the minimum proportion of 48X16 cm for billboard,
my question is how to configure the output in photoshop eps and how to configure the output in pro pdf distiller, to get a high quality file for printing presses.
I need to set up photoshop artwork (which consists of about 5 layers) for a 6m x 3m billboard. I set up my whole billboard in Illustrator (at 3m x 1,5m - half of actual size) and placed the psd image in. I set up my photoshop artwork at a third of actual size (3m x 1m at 300dpi). However, this made my file VERY slow to work with (result was about 700mb!!!!). Someone suggested that I downscale the image to 500mm wide and choose resample image > Bicubic Sharper (best for reduction). This scaled my psd file to about 32mb, which worked much faster. Then I saved the psd file as a Tiff with LZW compression without layers and placed into my illustrator file. However, when I export for print as PDFX1a- 2001 my file size was only 17mb!!!! Did I do the whole process correctly?! Will the print quality still be fine for such a big billboard? Is there a better / standard way to set up photoshop graphics for a billboard?
I have a billboard to design. Anyways, the billboard size is 10'6''x44' and the printer is asking for a 3 inch bleed all around. He is requesting I design it in 1/4 size so I've broken it down into inches and I came up with 31.5''x132''. Anyways how would I achieve the 3 inch bleed all around? Would I design the poster in the measurements I have mentioned or do I actually need to add an additional 3 inches to the layout?
I have to design a billboard that needs to be 8ft by 20ft. What size layout should I design it in? I know I need to make sure my pictures are high resolution so it can be blown up to the proper size, correct?
I am printing super high res images onto fabric. My print guy has instructed me to create my images in 1440 dpi and my fabric is 58 inches wide and about 80 yards long. I need to create ONE image so they can just print it continuously along the whoe piece of fabric. So I need to create a REALLY BIG image. They have recommended Adobe Creative Suite, but of course I want to do it with GIMP.
Just today, I installed the latest GIMP, and it doesn't seem to be letting me create even a 58x72 inch image in 1440 dpi. Is there an add on or a way that I can create huge tiff files in GIMP?.....or do I have to shell out the cash and get Creative Suite?
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.
