I would like the two pictures to blend in the middle from left to right.
The picture on the left will be sharpe on the left side but fade/transparent by the time it reaches the middle.
The picture on the right will be sharpe on the right side but fade/transparent in the middle.
I would think I need a gradient transparency (you always have to use a color)
I see pictures like this all the time, but can not seem to find the correct feature or combinations of features.
I have an image jpg, i want to add another person in the pic from another pic and be able to resize the pic I pasted. can u tell me what steps to take/ been going crazy trying to do this. As u can tell a new user.

1. It's not the Lock button on the Objects docker.
2. It's not the wine glass shown.
I don't really need it but it would be nice to have such a button. I can mimic it by "Create Mask from Object". That works in the same way. I'm just wondering if Lock Transparency got lost forever.
I have been meaning to cover this in one of the Workbooks and maybe some day I will remember.
I cloned the original photo, applied a Circular, Stained Glass transparency to the clone, moved the center of the transparency over the Datura blossoms, reduced the diameter, and reversed the settings.
In a few seconds I dramatically changed the photo.
I cloned the second photo of dramatic smoke from the recent wildfire, applied a vertical Linear, Stained Glass transparency to the clone, starting at the dark portion of the bottom of the cloud at 0% and ending just above the mountain tops at 100%.
Again, in less than the time it would take to open Photoshop, I had dramatically enhanced an already dramatic photo.
I used Graphics & Photos 2013, I update the software yesterday and if I save my job as PDF, the transparency done on a picture is inverted.Currently I removed the transparency but it is not the solution.Issue appear only when I create a PDF file. By creating a JPG file it works.

I'm try to design pages for photo book in Xtreme. I have set of files in PNG format as "frames" for photos. For example, I attach one (14_v.png) to this message. In another editor I can use them as "masks" for photos - in second attach (capture.png) you can see on left - usual photo, on right - photo with mask as photo frame. How I can make same effect in Xara Xtreme? I try to use different modes, substract/add shapes and other - but no luck.
Why is the Transparency command window in the Clone Tool property bar so narrow? By comparison, the window for the Feather command next to it is twice the size. The reason for the moan is because my display is set to 110% as I like to see slightly larger text but I've had to go down to 100% because I can only see one complete digit in that tiny little window.
Is there any way to make it a touch wider so I can see two digits without a problem?
Display set to 1900 x 1200 on 32-bit XP.
I am running the 32 bit trial of X6 and the transparent vignette bitmap effect no longer works. I have converted the bitmap to CMYK transparent and back to not transparent several times in CorelDraw X6 and it still does not work. I have event tried making the bitmap an RGB transparent background and it still does not work.
Then when I click "Edit Bitmap..." it DOES open as a bitmap with a transparent background but the vignette function in Photo-Paint X6 does not work with the transparency either. It forces a background color. There is no longer an easy way to fade the edges of a photo.
Why do you always manage to break stuff that was working Corel?
Everytime I copy and paste from one image into another, all I seem to get is a big white area the same shape as the image I tried to paste. Where am I going wrong?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a weird problem with pasting text into Photoshop. It had been working fine until today. Here is how I usually do it (and it won't work now):
Copy text from email or web page into basic text editor. Make any changes necessary.
Copy text from text editor.
Paste into Photoshop text field.
Today when I try to paste the text into Photoshop nothing happens. It pastes fine into other programs such as Illustrator (and even this form.) And it will copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop (though it comes through styled which is not what I want.)
I've run my usual repair programs but that didn't clear up the problem. how to fix this?
Adobe Photoshop 5.5
Mac Pro w/OS X 10.6.8
I have "Ask When Pasting" checked in Color Settings, but I just realized that images are being converted without asking. Is this a bug in CS6? not maybe there is something wrong with my preferences? I have to rebuild a document because the base image was an FPO in sRGB that I forgot to convert to my CMYK space. Usually I would be asked if I want to convert when I drag a new layer over which would catch my mistake.
I tried resetting the dialog by going to Prefences>General>Reset all warning dialogs, which didn't fix it. Howerver, I'm not sure that the reset in Gereral Preferences also affects the Color Settings preferences.I also tried closing PS and throwing out Color Settings.csf from my User Preferences. This didn't fix it either. I've never had Color Settings go bad, so I'm not 100% sure this is the right file to remove.
I first saw this when my base document was in sRGB and the layer I dragged over was in "Web Coated SWOP 2006 Grade 3 Paper". I just tried it in the opposite direction with the same results.Photoshop CS6 Extended, Version 13.0 x64. Mac OS10.7.4. 17" MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz Quad Core i7, 16GB ram.
I'm using a font called WoD (World of Darkness) - it's basically a dingbat font. I'm using Charmap to copy the icon I need - its number is Alt + 0162 or 0xA2. When I paste into Word or Wordpad, the icon comes up correctly. When I try and paste it into Photoshop (CS2), it comes up as the same character as 0x3F.
The pasting fails whether or not I have NumLock on, and the same character (3F) comes up when I try to copy/paste or type (using Alt) any character greater than Alt + 0128.
I want to hilite an area in a layer to copy and then PASTE into that EXACT same layer, (preferably with the MOVE tool selected so that I can then move that new pasted selection around), is there a way to do this?
The only PASTE commands I see are PASTE (which pastes AS NEW IMAGE) and PASTE INTO (which does I DONT KNOW WHAT!) Some kinda paste to new layer and auto create a mask
Whenever I copy/paste a selection, it 'fades' away the edges, giving it a softer look. I'd like to paste exactly what I copied, the entire edge.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I use Quick Mask for masking an area that I want to copy and paste, then go to standard edit mode, I see the marching ants, so far so good, except when I paste the Image into another image it's looks too be about 25% transparent.
If I use lasso tool too do same thing, no problem, no
transparency..
What's happening? I've reloaded the program twice now,
problem still exists.
We copy a lot of existing elements from illustrator files into existing Photoshop documents. The dimensions of the Illustrator files are much larger, so we've always pasted into Photoshop and it resizes to the smaller photoshop document.
When I paste into the existing Photoshop document in CS5, I need the image/object to resize to my Photoshop document, instead of pasting in at the actual/original size.
Is there something I can change in preferences? Or a way to do this?
I have an illustrator file (various circles and half circles) built with various layers, I would like to copy and past these layers into Photoshop and change them to a shape layer, but when copying each layer and pasting the vector falls in slightly different place to the illustrator file, how can I keep the position the same as the illustrator?

I am trying to paste 3 shapes from Illustrator into Photoshop. The shapes are layered; I need them to be separate layers in PS. I am copying the shapes from AI and pasting into PS as separate Shape layers. The problem is that when I paste the shape layers, the position in which they land on the canvas is not consistent... they don't line up properly. This means I will have to manual reposition the shapes in Photoshop?
(as a side note, I'm baffled that there is not way to export my AI document as a PSD, and retain the layers as vector shapes... exporting to PSD requires I rasterize the artwork. Has this been added to CS6?)
I have two photos which are of roughly the same scene but taken under slightly different lighting conditions.
I'll use a MS Word analogy to try and explain what I'm after - in Word, I can select some text and copy it. I can then move within Word to a completely different document and select Paste Special and just paste the format of the text. The result will be that I have different text but in the exact same size/font/colour. What I'm trying to achieve is some way of sampling the exposure settings (eyedropper?) of picture 1 and then pasting these settings back into picture 2 so that the green of the grass and the blue of the sky are similar in both.
This issue seems to be still an issue, I upgraded from CS3 to CS6.
If I open Illustrator, and create a box, solid black.
Open up a new PSD, and paste that box into photoshop.
The black box in photoshop is now dark gray.
I've got a Photoshop file that someone wants me to use as a template. It has an existing layer that I need to put a picture into without modifying the layer or creating a new one.
Whenever I cut and paste a picture into it, the pasted picture becomes "Layer 1" but I want it to paste onto a layer which is already there (rather than become a new layer).
I'm a PS newbie, and I've been trying to copy a selection from one image and paste it in another. This normally works perfectly, but I've been having real problems with one image. Whenever I copy something onto it (with most pics, at least; haven't tried them all) the copied selection loses all colour and texture and becomes an apparently random selection of white and black pixels.
Is there a setting somewhere that I should change? Are the images just incompatible? Please help.
Here's an example screenshot. Request any further information you want and I'll try to provide it.
Edit: In case you couldn't tell, I'm trying to copy the stick on the right onto the witch.
how do i copy an image and paste it on another image on photoshop cs4? i have already used the pen tool on the pic i need to copy but i cant seem to copy and paste it on the other picture.
View 6 Replies View Relatedlets say there is this image, and I want to make a selection. That selection, I want to quicky turn into a new image. So, the way I did it was:
1. Press S.
2. Drag Selection.
3. Press CTRL+C.
4. Goto FILE > NEW
5. Create 1x1 image.
6. With new image selected, press CTRL+V to paste it into image (auto fits)
In Paintshop Pro, all you had to do was:
1. Press S.
2. Drag Selection.
3. Press CTRL+C.
4. Press CTRL+V.
(CTRL+V would "PASTE AS NEW IMAGE") Which worked perfect. And in PSP CTRL+E would "PASTE INTO CURRENT IMAGE / SELECTION", which seems to be the current CTRL+V function for PS.
Am I taking too many steps here? Is there a way to do this more like the PSP way?
Another short example, I had text that I wanted to manually adjust the kerning. I had to:
1. Press L (for Lasso)
2. Dragg Selection
3. Instead of the Click-Holding inside this new selection to move the contents over, PS moves the SELECTION over. I tried ALT, CTRL and SHIFT variants but they don't move the selection's contents like I'd want. So I press M (for Move).
4. Move the item.
5. Goto Step 1 for each of the letters I want to move.
Iv written text in a word document and copied and pasted it onto a background in photoshop. Now i have a problem because when i dropped the text into PS it said it had rendered the text it and now i cant change any of the text i can add to it but i cant change words that iv either miss spelt or need to remove from the text.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi have photshop cs and when i paste a picture into photoshop from my "my pictures" folder after selecting parts of the image with the magnetic lasso, it pastes fine. mind you, its in jpeg form, because its pictures i myself took with my digital camera. ok, thats not a problem. but when i go into another folder that has pictures on my computer, use the magnetic lasso to take part of the image and paste it once again on a blank new canvas---THE IMAGES PASTE LIKE 25% OF THE ORIGINAL SIZE!! it only does this with this one particular folder. i like making collages of my pics, so i open up a custom, 8x10 new blank canvas, and when i print, it always comes up super small when pasted. i try resizing the images, but they are pixelated, so it looks blurry the bigger i make it. how can i paste images in accordance with their original size and stop getting these super small midget sizes of my image?
