I have 2 layers one with a gradient and another with some text and the gradient is set to overlay. I need these layers merged with the effects still in tact. Is it possible to do this?
edit: alternatively I could magic wand layer 2 and cut those pixels from layer 1 but, how i can get the magic wand to not ignore blending effects. Say i have a drop shadow on text the magic wand just circles to text and not the shadow.
Layers with a layer style applied, mostly of the bevel or emboss variety, lose the effect when the layers are merged or the image flattened. Doesn't seem to happen with any other styles, like drop shadows or glows: those will stay, but the bevel will not. These are all Normal layers, nothing tricky going on. It's a program fault and I need to know if there's a workaround. I'm having to resort to saving the whole unflattened image as a jpeg so the client can proof the work, but sooner or later I'm going to need to flatten the image.

I have a picture of two ladies posing and I want to change the picture into a constellation detailing their bodies. My first thought was to do a transparent overlay on top of a black background and then had hoped there was some way photoshop could take a point-sample, giving me their basic structure. I was unable to find any way of doing this so far and was hoping one of you could point me in the right direction.

The applied color overlay doesn't fill the entire shape (see image) making it look like the shape has a very wide stroke applied to it (it doesn't). If I "copy merged" the pasted copy is a rasterized version of the problematic overlay. If I rasterize the layer, the fill then covers the entire shape.
Jpeg below. Shape is black, color overlay is blue. There is no other effect applied. Blend mode normal, opacity 100%. The image upload won't let me attach the layered PSD file.

I am trying to add the orangy-morning/evening overlay to an image.
I have a high resolution version of this image and I'm trying to add an orangy overlay so it looks like the morning/evening, so it looks like the third image below (Making a high resolution version of it).
I've tried playing around with hue and saturation without much success.
Take a look at the following site:

For the background image halfway down, there's a totem pole sort of "merged" in with the color. But it's not simply an overlay blend mode or opacity change. It has essentially seemed to adopt an entire palette based on the background color itself.
I think I recall a way to create this effect in Photoshop, but in GIMP I'm stuck. How would one go about making that "color overlay", given any regular picture and a colored background? I'm doing this for a website, by the way.
After merging two 3D objects into one 3D space, I am unable to delete one of the objects nor will it hide when clicking the eye icon.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a document with three "normal" layers and two hue/saturation adjustment layers. They're at the top. The next two layers, and the adjustment layers, have layer masks. The bottom layer has no mask. The blend mode between the fourth and fifth layers (counting from the top) is "Hard Light". The blend mode for all other layers is "normal", and all opacities are 100%.
When I flatten the layers, what I get is not what I had before the layers are different, hard to describe exactly how. I notice that if I merge the fourth and fifth layers (with the "Hard Light" blend mode), and only those two layers, I get the same behavior as when I flatten the entire image.
So why would merging two layers that have the "Hard Light" blend mode at 100% opacity look different than when the layers aren't merged?
I am doing a HDR image lesson (Adobe CS5 Classroom in a Book, page 139) using three .DNG files from the training CD.If I use CS5 32 bit all (model's face and background) is ok. if I use CS5 64 bit the image has bad background colors and a portion of the model's face is dark red.if possibly the DNG was created by CS5 32 bit and cannot be opened and processed in CS5 64 bit HDR?
Note:Each DNG image looks good using CS5-64 File Open. I have two jpg if needed to show.

I'm having a problem with layers.
I open up a background layer - fine.
I add a second layer and add an image - fine.
I add a third layer but when I add an image, the first two layers automatically merge together into a new background layer.
The images are all the same size and being added from the bridge.
Imagine i have 10 pictures and i want to combine them to one big and long picture with ridiculous proportion which i dont know what it is exactly but it should be around 20cm x 200cm. is there an easy way to cut and add one picture under the other till i manage to fix them all together without knowing the combined picture dimensions?
*at the moment the only way i know how to do it is to open a new file with estimated proportion then select the pics and then drag them to the new file which i dont know his dimensions...
I got an idea for a tattoo that I am wanting to get and the idea is very vivid in my mind, the problem is that I cannot find any "flash" for what it is that I want. I asked a friend of mine for help as he is a graphic artist, and he suggested I get familiar with Photoshop, so here I am. Here is somewhat of a graphical description of what I am attempting to do...
What I am going for is 3 seperate eagles all merged together (or layered on top of each other) in order to create one single piece for my back. The first eagle will create the center of the design with the second eagle above it and to the left a bit with the third eagle to the back of the first one and below the second to make it all one piece.
What I need to know is what would be the best way for a beginner to start doing all this? I am not a freeloader and am not at all intimidated by doing things myself, just a kick in the right direction should suffice. Thank you all in advance for your support. I know that I need to first get all three images onto the same pallet and extract the heads only (white feathers) from the first two images then merge them all together somehow.
I know how to "place" an image however, how do you place one that is supposed to lay on the outer layer of the orginal image.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wanted to photograph a scene that had a very wide contrast range. The range was beyond the camera's ability to obtain proper exposure in the shadows without blowing out the bright areas of the scene.
I had read that Photoshop has a capability to combine one image that recorded good detail in the highlights, with a second exposure that captured detail in the midtones and shadows. So, I put my camera on a tripod and took the two exposures while maintaining the position of my camera.
Using PS CS2 and my Windows PC, I would like to merge the two images using a layer mask to selectively include only the properly exposed portions of the images. The problem is I can't get started. The initial two steps are evading me, despite consulting all of my CS2 text references. The steps are:
1. How do I get both images on the PS screen at the same time; and
2. The first image I open in PS creates a Background layer. How do I get the second image to be a layer just above the Background layer?
I do a lot of image editing, example cutting out pictures of a persons's head and place it on a picture w/c contain a body such as a king, princess, soldeirs etc. I often cut out pictures from digital shots and put them on a normal .jpg file to merge them. The issue is that the color profiles/brightness/contrass of the 2 pictures are not the same so it's very clear that they are edited.
I tried them all, under "Image-Adjust" then changing the image's hue/saturation, color balace, brightness/contrast however most of my works are still very noticeable that it's edited. only a handful of few shots comes out really blended that well.
I've cut out part of two Images and swapped them around, but the skin colour, lighting is all wrong. Is there any ways of blending in the two Image so it makes the Photo realistic, i don't want to use the Clone stamp tool, becaus ethen i loss all detail, and it makes the photo look like plastic.

how to use Photoshop to some degree and there are all kinds of tricks out there... Well online I found images taken by an airplane in 1951 of the ground below it. They are shots of the county I currently live in. I was looking to merge some of the photographs together into bigger images. However when attemping to merge the original photographs together I've run into a roadblock. From what I can guess, the plane was flying at a different altitude and maybe a slight angle when it took each picture of the areas of the county. The images just wont line up. I attempt to rotate and skew the image but it just never seems right. I can get the rotation looking almost perfect but then some parts of the image look like its too big on one side and then too small on the other side. Its almost looks as if its been tilted on the "z-axis".
