I am trying to make a silhouette of the Ford Fair lane in the zip file attached below, and place it into the BANNER_ONE.psd document. This is for a contest (redesigning the banner), so I have attached the current banner as well (profile_header.jpg).
The requirements for the banner are as follows:
incorporate "the driver's seat of youtube" and "the most automotive variety" (DONE)incorporate featured in car and driver, perhaps with that October 2011 issue cover (DONE)incorporate something related to the make a wish foundation silhouette design possibly using the 65 fairlane.
So, what is the best way to trace a silhouette of the Fairlane, similar to the one in the original banner? I was thinking the Pen Tool, but seeing as how I'm on a laptop and don't have access to an external mouse until late tomorrow (I'm away for the weekend), that's not the best option at the moment.
I have an image that has a set of curved lines in it. I want to keep just these lines from the image, and delete everything else.
Can people recommend what is the best way to accomplish this?
I know that i could use the pen tool to manually trace over these lines, and i don't need to preserve the color of the lines, so this would work. But it would be better to not have to do it manually.
I've successfully used the magic wand tool to select the area outside of these lines, and i can then invert the selection to select the area inside of these lines. This should put me about one step away from getting to where i'm trying to go, but i don't know what the final step should be.
I have a photo of a model that I want to turn into a silhouette image. I have tried different things that I could think of, just can't see to get the effect that I am looking for.
I have an image that I would liked to get the shape from and enlarge to 24" (that is not the full-res image.). I am trying to extract the rings along with the torch, meanwhile making that pattern black and the background white. I can use the magic wand at certain tolerances to get it out, but, like the picture, the edges are not sharp, but pixelated. is there a way I can extract this shape but have very smooth and defined edges, even if the picture does not have them? im trying not to have to zoom in real far and use the lasso to outline the entire thing myself.
I might add that extract edges doesn't work too well on this image
I am really new to photoshop... i have been trying to make vector art from live images but failed ...make this given live image like the another image which is vector.
I made the following image in Illustrator by tracing an image and filling it with black to get the silhoutte. I then, used the type area tool to fill the silhouette with text.
Is there a better way to do this (in photoshop or illustrator)?
Also, how would I adjust the text to better fit (fill) the shape of the silhouette?
I want to reduce the length of the legs a bit and straighten the back one out a bit.How can you go about this without changing a lot of the anchor points? Is there a way to select a portion of the leg or image and move it separately?
Im going on a "lads holiday" in 2 weeks and i have been given the job to create tshirts for the group. I used a shield design base from a video game and i am now creating new silhouettes for the different sections of the shield to reflect the holiday. Ive been trying to make a quad bike silhouette but every time i do it it comes out so badly that you cannot tell what it is actually meant to be.
If I use 2 monitors to display 1 image with the image extending from one monitor into and across the second monitor, can I make a screen shot of the entire image without any break in the middle where it crosses from one monitor to the other? Will it be one continuous screenshot of the entire image, even though the image is displayed on 2 monitors?
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.
Every time I create a new document, no matter what dimensions I put, it always makes it a square. Just tonight it has. I've been using the program for almost a year now and haven't had this issue at all.
I don't think I messed with any settings or anything. I read somewhere that it might have to do with the Pixel Aspect Ratio or something, but I've been trying different things with that and it hasn't worked. I'm on Mac OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion running Photoshop CS5.
i'm wanting to make some banners for my site, i just wondered how i would make a SIMPLE banner thew has moving text on it. Are there any guides out there?
I make banners for our company newsletter that we do every month and they vary from month to month in design. I am working a few months ahead and creating a banner for our March newsletter, which I'm doing a Saint Patrick's Day design.
To do this, I am using a JPG of a four leaf clover that I want to remove the white space behind it and then set it to different opacities to add to a plain, green banner.
I do these steps:
1. Open the file.
2. Create a new layer.
3. Drag the new layer under the original file.
4. Use the magic tool, set to appropriate tolerance and select all the white space. It does the moving dotted lines around all the space I want removed.
5. Press "Delete" to remove the white space.
I did the same procedure yesterday and it worked fine. Today, it won't delete the white space. Is it because this image is a JPG?
I wanted to make a mirror image from a jpg but I cannot figure it out with Photoshop 6 or 7. I have the book, "Photoshop 6 for dummies", and I cannot find any references to making a mirror image. I am trying to print the (reversed) image onto a heat transfer for a T-Shirt.
I want to take an image (doesn't matter what) and lay a finely bordered grid over it.
Then I will be filling in certain spots of the grid with the background color, essentially making it look like a large digitized image.
Now imagine an image filled in that grid. If the web page background was green, then I'd take random squares and fill them in as green.
Should I be drawing the grid? Erasing the background of an existing image? I've experimented with different things but really haven't come close to the desired effect.
I'm currently designing a T-shirt for an event. I've made a few shirts in the past and they required about a 600dpi image for best results. However, the image available to me is at 72dpi (comes off a website).
It is from the movie "Team America". I can get the 1024x768 image from the downloads section where the puppet is looking into the fiery background with "TEAM AMERICA" and all else on it. However I need that background ONLY, minus all the text and extras. If anything, just the puppet, but nothing else.
Actually, since the website is in flash, there is an intro where for a brief moment, that very image (when it is blank) appears and everything comes down on it. At that second, I did a Print Screen and captured it. I created a new image in PS at 600dpi and attempted to stretch it. I have a 17" monitor so if I try to view the image as a whole, its at 15% or so, so it still looks good. When I zoom in all the way to 100%, its very blurry. Is there a way to sharpen the image accurately where it won't be noticeable on a t-shirt?
How to turn a photo into a silhouette (I think that's what it's called). How to go about doing it?  There's two styles I'm trying to do. One is all one color, and the other is two colors kind of highlighting shady parts. Here are the two examples:  [URL]
I want to create a silhouette like the first picture from the other picture (of the boy) How can I do that? If it's youtube videos out there, but getting there does not, even if I regulate tolerance in magic wann tool.
I need to create a line drawing of the outline of a chair. I tried following the various Illustrator tutorials to take the image of a chair and create a silhouette. However, I can't figure out how to take this silhouette and get just the outline of it. The Illustrator Image Trace tool doesn't seem to have an option to just save the outline. Â Is there an easy way in Illustrator or Photoshop to turn this silhouette into an outline image that I can save as a file? I will print the outline in a very light opacity so that the lines are barely visible for hand rendering. I don't want to use the pen tool to outline the silhouette because my hand is too shaky to do a good job.
I have a scanned image that was drawn in black, i cut it all out and pasted on a transparent background, but now I would like to make the lines of the drawin themselves, white. I thought it was flip to negative or something but im not sure and I couldnt evebn find that option.
It has four different country flags on it. What I'd like to do is turn that image into a circular image. Hopefully you know what I mean. I've tried to use the shear filter but can't get it to look right.
I have an image of a girl on a white background. I need to remove the white background perfectly, so that her image is on top of a teal one. I tried masking and using the magic wand tool and deleteing, but she has all this hair. Is there a quick way to make the background transparent, so that the white just disapears?
