I just started using photoshop again. I haven't used it properly since art classes a few years back and i've forgotten bits and pieces.
i could never make picture in this style of the attached one below quickly and whatever technique i had before i've forgotten so i want to know if anyone has a quick technique of turning normal pictures into this wicked pop-art flash style. I can tell it should be easy but extracting the layers of colour seems to be the hardest.
I just spent about 2 weeks getting names of people at my granddaughters wedding and adding to the captions along with place picture was taken and date.
I just copied and pasted them from adobe photoshop elements 10 to a flash drive. However, no captions. How do i do that?????
Why Lightroom does not support most simple function like a COPY? I have pictures in RAW format and need to copy it on usb drive and fail there no COPY only export. Another problem, there no PNG export. Every program I know reads and saves as PNG. Lightroom is the frist one that does not do it ...
Or there any way to bypass that ridiculous limitation without changing a program?
For anyone that is familiar with flash, they know how you can use a tablet draw with the paintbrush and the program smooths the strokes into vector paths for you. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to dublicate this effect with photoshop. Right now I am using the pencil tool with the pressure sensitivity turned on but it doesn't create that same smooth-brush stroke effect that you get in flash.
I saw this effect in a book about yearbook designs and thought it was amazing and took a picture in the hopes of taking it home and trying to figure out how they did it. So far, no luck. I've found some tutorials about how to make a picture look like it is made of text, but this doesn't seem that simple. Any ideas? Am I just missing something?
When trying to cut out a piece of an image such as with cmd shift J with anti aliasing turned on, there is a gap between the cut out and the new image about as wide as the marquee. If I turn anti aliasing off there is no longer a gap, but then I have a very jagged cut out, since may of the pieces I'm cutting out are circular. Is there anyway to still get a smooth edged cut out without the gap?
Whenever I add a stroke to text it never stays straight edged like the text, it becomes more rounded. Question is, is there a way to stroke the text with the edges staying straight instead of rounded without having to just draw a box around it or something?
Here's a picture of what I'm going for, I'm fine with making a box around the text (there are other characters, rounded characters like an "O"), but it would be a big time saver if there was a way to do it quicker.
Stroke in Photoshop is on the left, desired effect is on the right. The letter "i" might be a bad example, however the effect I'm looking for is a stroke keeping the shape of the text rather than rounding itself.
I have been looking into polishing up some of my macro stuff by properly reacting to document settings and such and prettied something that was built for everyday use. It's a simple little tag adding tool:
To try it out just download the attached zip and extract the GMS file into: C:UsersYOUR USERNAMEAPPDATARoamingCorelCorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6DrawGMS
Then in CD go to Tools ==> Macros ==> Macro manager and launch the Show Form bit. If you have a document open and a shape selected it should work just fine.
We are working on AutoCAD Arch 2012 and there is a custom edge profile we are using but we cannot get the profile to visualy turn off. We have placed it on its own layer and still can't turn it off.
This worked fine when we were in '04 - but it isn't working in '12... is this a bug?
just attempting to customize my viewing preferences a bit.
When I am in an editable poly, and the Viewport is set to Smooth & Highlights + Edged Faces...
When I go to make a polygon selection, the edge faces option divides each polygon into two triangles which is just annoying. Maybe I'm just used to newer versions of max where it doesn't do this.
everytime i start Max 2014 i had to untick the "Display Selected with Edged faces" in the viewport configuration tab...is there a way to untick this permamently?
pre 2012, if you had display edged faces on, the selected splines would turn white - so you could tell what was selected in viewport. using nitrous, this isn't possible for us. Open GL or Direct 3D work fine but not nitrous. or is this a bug?
I have recorded an action to create a transparent image on a batch of photos. Next I ran the image processor using the File/Scripts/image processor. When running the action the error message occurs no matter how many ways I attempt to modify the action. Error: The object "Style "Shape Style"" is not currently available.
I then look in the action window to check and under the steps Make Fill Layer: Style: Shape, Style 1 appears but I can't delete it. This one error message makes it impossible for me to image process a batch of photos with a watermark on them.
I am currently building a website in Flash 8. I have been creating most of the graphics with photoshop CS2. I have recently run into a problem with transferring the photoshop work over to flash. I used to just drag a .psd right onto the stage in flash and it came in perfectly. Now all of a sudden flash does not recognize the file type.
i have selected circle and filled the circle with some color. now i want to have border around the circle so i have selected stroke from the edit menu and applied with one pixel. how ever it is not giving a solid look as in flash. in photoshop the border looks like dissolved and transparent. is there a way to get the same look as flash?
I was looking through some of my old folders this morning and stumbled across a pic I had to tinker with early last year for a magazine I was putting together.
as can be seen in the picture, there is a big patch of light (I assume from a flash or other light) right in the middle of the back ground, which looks terrible.
Also, the rest of the pic could do with a bit of lightening as it's too dark.
How would you go about editing this image to remove the patch of light?
I tried 2 techniques, firstly I used the burn tool to darken the patch of lightto match the rest of the pic.
The second approach I tried was to duplicate the layer. On the new layer I darkened the image so the patch was as dark as the rest of the poster in the first layer. Then I applied a layer mask and made only the newly darkened patch visible over the original pic to give an evenly lit poster.
Just upgraded to CS3 and there's no more Flash Export - Just this Zoomify thing, which I'm not sure I trust (keeps wanting to contact the Zoomify Website) and I don't have the time to relearn. Basically, I want my old "Export to Flash" from Imageready. Is that hidden somewhere.
This Zoomify stuff isn't impressing me - does a great demo but I put little flash headers on many of my sites and don't want to complicate things.
I want to create flash image like when you go to page that one image comes from background like a flash and should stop flashing once come to front. How i can create? I don't have macromedia software. I have only adobe photoshop.
