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.
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...
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.
I 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 am trying to download pictures in folders and sub folders into the LR catalog. The import brings all the pics in the subfolders over but when II click on the parent folder it shows not pictures or number of pictures in it.
I imported pictures to Adobe Lightroom and exported them to my memory card. Now my memory card is broke! Is there any way to retrieve those pictures from Lightroom. Right now they are saying missing.
I 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 have a long list of photoshop brushes and I was wondering if I could somehow take them all and roll them into one set so I dont have to search through each brush file every time.
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 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'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 do I "Merge Down" text layers withough "Merging Visible" or "Flattening" the image? I've got several text layers going right now and I'd like them to be on one layer since I've got all the letters rearranged.
I want to Merge the Montrail text layers. Why I have this Montrail thing is I'm making a logo for our school's Red Rocks trip and Montrail is giving us climbing shoes so my teacher is having me combine the two logos.
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".
I have an A3 picture that I have scanned in 2 parts using my A4 scanner and would like to know to find the easiest way of stitching them together with PS. I am aware of Autostitch, but want to produce a high resolution TIFF image. I do need click by click instructions though as I'm still feeling my way along with PS!
I have an immediate need to overlay one image on top of another, blending the two -- like the effect you'd get if you double-exposed a film negative.
I have no idea how to to do this, and poking around the online help file isn't giving up quickly, any clues. Usually, when I poke around in Photoshop (6.0), I find it pretty undecipherable.
I just got photoshop 7, and I want to bring two pics from my harddrive, one a jpg, and the other a gif, and stick one on top of the other, to make a sig. But I do not know how to bring two pics in at the same time, and edit them so that I can make one pic, out of the two.
I am trying to place pictures into my paragraph text so that the text wraps around the picture (like you can in Word).? Can anyone let me know how to do this in Photoshop 7.0 for Windows??
All I can find is how to wrap text around object (i.e. word on a coffee cup image itself) or putting the actual picture as fill for the font.?
how to do this? I have included a PDF of a sample of what I'm trying to do.
How can I merge two separate sequences of photos into one sequence? In other words I have 10 photos in total sorted into 2 groups, I want to merge photo number 1 with photo number 5, 2 with 6 etc. Can it be done through batch or would I have to do it manually? Is there an import action that would allow me to chose the sequential photo each time?
I've imported a simple .obj file with a few beveled faces into my PS doc and then created a simple 3d postcard layer. When I merged the two 3D layers, (.obj file layer is top layer) PS seems to have removed some of the faces in my places .obj file.. ??
