We have Photoshop CS, and we need to make the frames - so we tried using the rectangle tool - but when we do this, we can't draw in the frames, and when we add a new layer and switch to it, the frames vanish.
I'm using photoshop (CS2) to ink/color a webcomic attempt of mine, and I'm a bit stuck for how to do the borders of the individual frames. I tried playing around with the rounded rectangle tool, but I have to be honest I dont have a CLUE what it does or how to use it.
I basically need to make a hollow rectangle with slightly rounded corners about 5-10 pixels thick.
I've been given a college assignment where I have to make a 6-8 image comic strip story, where I'm the main character, either hero or villian. Now I have a few ideas bouncing around my head, but thought I'd ask if anyone else has ever had to deal with a similar project, before I went ahead with anything.
Can anyone offer any advice as to design? Any suggestions/ideas as to the content or a storyline? All comments welcome, the teacher gave us the freedom of artistic expression and I plan to use it!
I've seen many tutorials for getting a comic book effect on a picture, but if you were to be doing this on large scale projects (for example a weekly comic strip),
I am not talking about the fancy 3-d apps that create these awesome metallic-loking 3 -d images,like this: I I'm talking about linear art, flat and 2-d, like the old school comic books like Superman, Wonder Woman and Spider-Woman. That's what I am looking to do: I know there was some plug in that let you do them just like that, (after you typed in the name, you selected the letters and with some app, you manipulated them to look like old-school comic book lettering...)( I remember creating them old-school titles myself) with no fancy gradations, shines or bevels, it was just the lettering, and the effect of the 3dish thing...anyone knows what the plug in is, or if anything like that can be done with either Illustrator Cs4 or Photoshop Cs4? This is an example of what I did myself: But that was years ago when I had Illustrator 10, and after a long time with no acces to the net or computers, I'm back in the swing of things, but I can't remember the name of the program or plug in that allowed you to do those imges!
I am a graphic novel writer & comic designer. I have been told that many of Adobe's products can be used to create drafts for comic book pages. But some people tell me Illustrator is the best, others say In Design is the way to go and I have even heard Photoshop works as well. What Adobe product would you recommend to use for making comic book pages?
I just downloaded Elements 11 Editor for mac OSX 10.9, and when I try to use any of the new filters (comic, Graphic Novel, etc), it crashes. What do I do?
I bought PSE 11 for Mac a few months ago, and have finally been able to spend some time examining the features. However, I noticed that my "Sketch" filters do not include the comic or graphic novel options. Were these two omitted from the Mac-version? Or do I have a faulty copy of the program?
is there a way to make it so everything that appears on the artboard is hidden/invisible, and have it so my vector shapes/images only appear inside rectangle/panels? Â As of now, if I am to create a comic using the pen tool, and some parts of the vector are outside the rectangles (panels) I made, I would either have to use the knife tool to cut off the vectors outside, or hide the vectors outside the panels with white rectangles (since my artboard is white).
Just wondering if Gimp can paint in a ink comic book panel I draw?I wouldscan the drawing in and then paint it using gimp,is that possible and isthere a tutorial showing me jhow?
I was just wondering what would be the finest way to convert a comic character (like Gaston Lagaffe or Tintin or...) into a vector for personal use? Â The idea is just a poster or canvas with a cat of a famous comic series just for my office decoration.
I have installed the fonts but the amount of color editing and customization I can do is very, very small. For example I want to take a letter have it colored purple (so far so good) and then give a border to the letter like thin line of yellow (no option that allows me to do this).
we are talking about pretty big letters here but I cant seem to be able to do this. I am trying to edit this pre existing image and trying to enter dialogue bubbles with thin colored borders.
As for the dialogue/though bubbles themselves I can seem to find any "insert shape" inside gimp, you sometimes characters are yelling or crying or just speaking normally has to be shown by the dialogue bubble but I cant seem to be able to do it.
I have used photoshop before but it is very complex and I feel like I can work with GIMP much more easier and faster but none of these basic options seem to be available. Are there addons to install so I can work easier with than making every single dialogue bubble from scratch? *shudder*
Edit: I am using both the new version and the 2.6 version... I find the new version absolutely terrible, especially when it comes to saving your work as an image file but if necessary I will work with both versions.
I'm trying to create my own Star Wars comic, and of course, being the traditionalist that I am, I wanted to start it out with an opening crawl.
The problem here is that I need a way to 'tilt' the image of the block of text so that it resembles the opening crawls from the movies. I've tried a few ways, but I can't find anything that does what I want it to do. I thought about 'pinching' the top section, but the selection tool doesn't have this function and I can't find anything in the tools to create this effect.
Am I going to have to import the text into a modeling program, tilt it, and render it as a 3D object?
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! Â I want something like this:
[URL].... Â Notice in the second SS how the mountains and stuff have a nice effect. Â So basically I need a tutorial or at least a heads-up as I am a bit of a noob. Â (I have CS6 Extended)
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. Â <moved from download,setup&install by mod - kglad>
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!
