I must make photos of engraved medallions, and I was wondering if instead of having to engrave and shoot each one I could take pictures of a blank and then use a photoshop text effect to simulate the engraving.
is this is feasible and reasonably easy to do or not?
I'd like to show you what I'm trying to simulate but I apparently need 4 posts to have the right to post links...
I have been working at this for about 4 hours and I am still stuck. I am trying to create a padlock from scratch, and have had nothing but problems. Below is one I used as a reference. I created a block for the lock itself and used a gradient fill on it. I then added some filters (noise, blurr, etc.) and came up with a decent though clipart looking lock. I think with some more time I can come closer to the desired effect. My sticking point is on the metal arm. I have tried and tried to duplicate this metallic silver look, and it just looks horrible.

I've got text superimposed on a photo of wood in ID (Text was added in ID.) Client wants the text to look like it's engraved in the wood. I don't think I can do this in ID.
Many years ago I did something similar in PS with text on a marble background, and it took many steps to accomplish.
What's the best way to do the wood engraving? I'd like to avoid having to go through zillions of steps, because I anticipate changes in the project.
Not sure if GIMP can actual do this.
I am looking to create text words that have a silver/bright mirror effect. The effect might look like silver liquid (water) effect. Or do you know what software it could be designed on.

Seems like it would be simple enough to create manually (albeit require some time), but even more simple to automate through a 1-click plugin, if it's out there.
I'm editing a photo of my friend playing a musical instrument. The photo is completely black except for him and the picture is of his profile. I want to add realistic stage lights without the corney lensflare effect. The lights would be added to appear as if the camera is looking right into them.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI had wanted to find a way to engrave/emboss the part number on a part model and have it be parametrically tied to the part number iProperty. Since it doesn't appear that I can create a text box and insert the iProperty directly, here's what I did to work around this. (I setup my part templates to have this out of the box....)
1. Within, the IPT file, add a user text parameter called "PartNo" and set its initial value to any text value.
2. Create your sketch for your text to be engraved. Insert the User parameter you just created.
3. Create the engraving/embossing for your text.
4. Create the following iLogic rule:
' Requires a User Text Parameter called "PartNo" prior to running' Set the appropriate event trigger to tasteIf Parameter("PartNo") <> iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") ThenParameter("PartNo") = iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")InventorVb.DocumentUpdate()End If
5. I set this rule to fire using the "iProperty Change" event trigger. So if the iProperty is set or changed, your text will update. Obviously, you can set this to run with whatever trigger you like.

on creating metallic text, chrome, brushed metal, etc., but I'm wondering if anyone has come across a way to create text that approximates a nice reflective look similar to when printers use foil stamping? Every now and then I'll see magazines and print work that have those beautiful reflective colors that catch the light in ways that really catch the eye, but I'm not sure if this can be recreated in Photoshop?
Another variation I'm interested in trying to create is text that looks like it has a metallic paint, similar to the way cars are painted, so that it's subtle, but you can see little flecks and dimension.
the title says it all, how do you realisticly recreate a embroided patch effect. think of militairy patches.

Ive tried (admittedly) not that hard at doing it with the skew options within Edge Animate but I cannot get it to swing realisticly.
Was wondering if there are some ways in converting a highly realistic rendering of an object generated in a 3D program into a more illustrative, simplified, alittle less realistic version in Photoshop?
The object has plenty of silver reflections, HDRI environment map reflections, precise shadows and highlights, etc. I just want to make it look more generic and not as polished I guess.
Are there filters or plugins that will do this in a plug in play method or is it more prodedural and manual?

I was wondering about it the other day and, having perused the other forums inside,
I'm having problems with Silver Efex Pro 2 after upgrading to PS CS6, worked fine in older versions of PS..Downloaded the latest installer from Nik Software..The installer only find my Lightroom 4.1 when installing, and I have to add CS6 manually (locating the plugin folder, also tried other folders).It works fine in LR4.1, but in PS, the software opens, I apply changes, and clik OK, NIK closes, but nothing happens to my image. The history tab says "Silver Efex Pro 2", but no layers/changes to the original image..64bits WIN7 Enterprise, 12GB ram
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have had a problem with the Nik Software Silver Efex Pro (SEP) plugin running extremely slowly, but only at certain times. It's been pretty good for the past few months, but it suddenly took a nose-dive a few days ago. It takes ages to load the presets and to process the image in Photoshop once I have made my selections in SEP. I just thought that as SEP is a direct plugin to CS6 Photoshop then perhaps it's something to do with the way Photoshop itself runs. I switched the running of Photoshop to 'Run as administrator' (just right click the program in the start menu and go to compatibility tab) and SEP now runs extremely fast. why running as Admin should make such a difference? Are there any problems in running in Admin mode?
I run Norton Internet Security, and thought that as I'm now OK in Admin mode it might be a virus-checker problem, and running in Admin mode was getting around the problem. I do have both versions of Photoshop (32 and 64 bit) included to 'allow' access in Norton.Here is my system config. My PC runs very well in all other respects.

What is the best and most efficient method as I'm finding the silver does mingle with the white when I try and adjust the settings. The magic wand isn't much use either.
The original image had the car in a deep shadow and it appeared to be black. I played around with it and this blue was the best I could do. The real color is silver gray. Is there anyway to change the car color to silver.
