I have 2 images, one which is a canvas I have created within Photoshop to a certain size and the other is a JPEG I have shot on a SLR.
I want to mount the JPEG onto the canvas (which are both currently saved as 2 seperate documents as JPEG's) and then save this as one whole document...
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 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.
When I have multiple pictures up, how do I keep two pictures from merging when I move one of the pictures to the side? I would like to turn this feature off.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to crop heads of people in certain photos, and paste or align them with bodies in different images.
I've tried isolating the head or face using the Quick Selection Tool, and then Image/Crop, but I cannot get a clean edge; it's surrounded by an angular border, no matter what I do.
Is this impossible to do with curvy shaped image elements?
I'm working with PSE 9.
If I'm merging objects together into one Max file, how do I retain the material assignments/designations for the objects that I am bringing into the scene?
I thought they would automatically get imported as well, but that doesn't seem to be the case. This is somewhat big deal for me because I'm working with one model which is dozens and dozens of planes that are overlapping to produce the effect of a large bush. I'm using three different but fundamentally similar material patterns so I can't just drop the material onto the set as I'd have to manually assign each of the three materials to their respective planes...however that's pretty much impossible because like I said, I have dozens, possibly close to 100 planes that are overlapping and interwoven to create the illusion of a bush.
Without the materials, the model just looks like a pile of planes, with the materials and the alpha channel settings, it looks like a bush...
Again, basically, I'm trying to figure out how to merge a set of objects into a Max file, and retain the material assignments as they were in the objects original file.
When I go to render, I can force Max to locate the texture files by manually designating a new path, however, I would like to be able to see the textures in the view port as it's hard to get a sense of what I'm looking at as I start to add more and more objects (and half of them are plane based, alpha channel foliage- so without the textures, all I see in the viewport is a bunch of planes and that is really not useful when I'm trying to compose a scene).
merging mesh and group from other file (i do this in every new project) i see file size growing (120MB to 700 Mb for example!!)Now, if i try to "save selected" some object,
- from the scene1 in which i've merged object2
or
- from the scene2 that i have merged in scene1
the file saved have the same big size, and if i delete from scene 1, merged object and resave it, the filesize is just a bit less of 700..
Usually when I'm working with files from other artists, I do select all -> merge and select all -> make live paint group and this usually reduces the paths / file size quite a bit (I have to merge because it combines all the layers into one flat shape rather one on top of another). However, I have some dinosaur illustrations like the following:
When I do a merge on these illustrations, it increases the file size by 5 times! I tried doing paths -> simplify, but even if I slightly decrease the %, the drawing gets skewed.
Why this file might be blowing up when I merge it and what I can do to fix it? These illustration really isn't anymore complicated than other illustrations I've been doing, and while they've been reducing in size when I merged, this one hasn't.
I'm new to photoshop. Why did some of my altered pictures not show up in the file? They appear as a blue file with PSD on it. You can see the pictures when you click on them in Photoshop elements 10 but not in your file.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to Photoshop 10 from 3. Now, when I am editing a few days worth of pictures one after the other, I go to open the next file (picture) the computer takes me back to the top (first one listed) each time. Many times I am editing over 100 pictures in the file, and now have to scroll down each time and that takes forever. I have to remember what number picture I was on. In my earlier version, the compiter "held" the spot where I was so it was easy to select trhe next picture to edit.

I have an extensive (seventy year...guess that reveals my age!) of photos. it is convenient for me to have the Lightroom catalogue mirror the file structure in windows "My Pictures".. as I am in the process of scanning old photos and adding to the database, it is often convenient to make minor structural mods to the file structure. what is the simplest way to keep the Lightroom catalogue identical to the now modified database. I have figured out that any photos to be moved in My Pictures, can be deleted first from the Lightroom Catalogue, then moved in My Pictures, then reimported into the Catalogue.
