My young son has damaged a couple of important photos by using Paint. He's drawn over them and somehow saved his work. These pictures are in jpeg format.
I am writing just to check that these photos are lost forever or whether there was some very clever way of getting them back, by removing the added lines boxes etc.
I am new to X4 and cannot seem to get rid of the white background when I export a vector to a jpg file. This is probably a no brainier but I have tried setting the page background to none and a few other things but to no avail.
how to get rid of the transparency in a layer? I don't mean flattening it, that just puts it on a white background, I want to preserve all of the colour information, but just get rid of the transparency.
I am having trouble removing the top surface of this canoe that i am making.
I have tried exploding the surface and it removes the top surface nicely but make two individual surfaces that cannot be combined using the join function.
Is there any way of removing the lines that go around the edge of a blank layer? I'm making a design which has a black background where I need to experiment by moving other layers around, and I keep getting the faint outside edge of the layer showing. For example, I created a transparent layer to create a supa nova; I move the layer around the black background and get the faint outside edge of the layer.
Is there anyway of getting rid of these besides maybe using the clone tool?
Want to remove the dark grey boundary layer as seen in the attachment, in order to overlay my own boundary (which uses a different coordinate system so is more stretched) What tool do I use to do this? Do i remove that specific color from the picture completely? Do i somehow blend it into the background map?
Also, the new map layer is a series of 300 bright red points in a similar shape on a white background....how do i overlay only the red points?
I'am trying to add an image (.jpg format) into the .psd file containing few layers.
I am able to do the same directly from photoshop by just selecting the portion of the layer where i need to insert image using pen tool then paste the image and resized it.
Using Photoshop or Elements, it is possible to open up two image of the same subject (I.e. a building) taken taken at several minutes interval, then using the move tool you combine the two images, then add a layer mask, you can edit out any people or distractions, how is this possible in Gimp, I have both Photoshop and Elements (Both Legit), but I dont want to return to Windows.
I'm having trouble removing a layer of coating from all of my design.
Example: I receive customer-specs and I draw say, an m&m. Now I have to make the chocolate base in order to put the sugar-coating on. I want to make a drawing (and a model) for my chocolate base and I know the thickness of my sugar-coating.
Now, I would like to draw up the complete m&m, and peel off the sugar-coating-layer. I tried to use the offset-feature, but I'm having trouble selecting the entire part.
i want to export the little button in the top left hand corner that sais "Westcoast" (which consists of 2 layers) as a jpeg without exporting the whole photoshop file. The only way i know how to do this is hide all the other layers and size the canvas around that little button. And even then the canvas is rectangular while the button has curved edges...so some of the canvas would still be showing.
can you export layers with the layer names to separate jpeg files?
I have a photoshop psd file with many layers that I want to export to separate files with the new name of the files being the same as their layer name. I have the following programs:
Using Photoshop CS4? Using Photoshop Elements 7? Using Photoshop Elements 12 (Trial)
I would like to know if its possible to import a jpeg or bmp picture as a layer so I can take dimensions from to build a proper drawing. I am trying to follow some instructions in creating plans for boats and it says I can, but I cant.
I have a logo in a png file that I would like to bring into AE and animate. I did not create the logo so I have no idea how to bring in layers from Illustrator or Photo Shop. I am not familiar with either program but I have watched a former colleague separate the layers (aplha channels, etc..) it's all Greek to me. The logo has a couple words on it plus an exclamation point that I would like to animate if possible...
When I load an image either a jpeg or psd file then make a layer copy I am unable to apply a preset action to this. Either a default action or one of my own on a Mac OSX running Lion. This did not present a problem in CS5 and I am wondering if I've missed something basic?
1) From LR export to PS 2) Do all essential editings. 3) Save. File become 'xyz.tiff' now. (I want to keep this as master copy) 4) Crop to 4r, Save a Jpeg copy as 'xyz 4r.jpg' 5) PS save it as a copy, but do not automatically open the Jpeg copy. The tiff remains opened. I have to manullay Open, browse to it, and open the Jpeg. The 'Open Recent' list also do not list 'xyz 4r.jpg'. 6) Do 4r sharpening for the 'xyz 4r.jpg', save it.
Basically the files I want to keep and worked on is like this: NEF -> xyz.tiff -> xyz 4r.jpg -> xyz sml.jpg(maybe)
Now, it there a way in step (5) to have PS save the JPEG copy, and automatically open it? I don't care if the Tiff copy remains opened or not, I am done with it.
I got a new computer (Windows 7) at work this April and as of today, when I work on any of my JPEG images in PS CS5,suddenly it has defaulted its "Save As" to JPEG2000. How did this default change and how do I get it to default save as. JPEG again? There was nothing I noticed and no warning as to why this has changed, I didn't touch a thing!
(Last week, Adobe had to work with our IT manager to fix a problem that started occuring with my new Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 program. They had to log into my computer and change a registry thing to get it to work properly again...also something that changed without warning!!)
I'm using a Mac. My windows friend sent me a jpeg of a piece of art we're working on. It looked fine in the web browser. It looked fine in Preview when I opened it, and it looked fine in Photoshop. But when I save it from photoshop after adding just a small thing to the image, the whole thing comes out a bit brighter. I have no idea what's doing it. I've tried Save For Web and Save As and it comes out the same each time. I have played with color settings in the past slightly, but it was my understanding that only affected how photoshop displays the image and I wouldn't expect it to change an image I imported then exported again.
Print to JPEG in LR5.2 produces a corrupt JPEG file that cannot be opened.
Lightroom is running on MacPro. When printing I am attaching an ICC profile provided by the bureau that is going to produce the prtins. Having said this the file cannot be opened neither on a Mac nor on a Windows PC.
Up until now, i used to exported as TIFFs but after reading Jeff Schewe book The Digital Print i have become convinced that printing through LR to a file is much more efficient.
Drawing A has a grid system Xref-ed into it. It also has a block reference in it, repeated in various places throughout the drawing.
I Xref-ed the grid into the block to check something, and now I can't get it out. This means that the grid now repeats all over Drawing A as well and is generally being a nuisance.
If I try to unload the Xref within the block, it unloads it in Drawing A too. If I try to detach it from the block, it returns this message: Xref [Xref name] has multiple references. Not detached. If I try to detach the Xred from Drawing A, it returns the same message.
How do I unload the same Xref that occurs in a block in a drawing, and in the drawing itself, independently of each other?
If I shoot RAW + JPEG, and I add EXIF data to the JPEG files outside of Lightroom, when I import the RAW + JPEG pairs will the metadata I added to the JPEG files still be there?
I'd try it myself, but I don't actually have the equipment to do this right now.
I'm trying to export a JPEG so that the file size is smaller, for use on the web. So the file I have is 1.1 MB. I try to export via LR4 using the percentage slider, but no matter what percentage I use, the file size is always GREATER than 1.1 MB! And if I try to limit the size by inputing a value, say 1000 kb, I get an error message saying I can't do that for some reason:
Also, this is not the case with just one file, it is numerous files.
I want to shoot tethered in studio, and shoot RAW + JPEG, but I want Lightroom to only import the JPEGS so as to improve the speed. I shoot a Canon 7D.
It appears that the Layer Filters functionality is broken again with 2013. Unchecking the "Apply layer filter to layer toolbar" disables the function of layer filters in the tool palette.
I have found that when I use the Layer Styles on one layer and then make a new layer or select a shape that creates a new layer that when I go to add Styles to the new layer/new shape the previous layer is affected by how I set the Bevel & Emboss, Direction, Altitude, Drop Shadow etc etc.
For instance, let's say I have a ...
BG > New Layer > draw an ellipse and then add a Bevel with an > Angle of 89 and an Altitude of 30 and then I add a New Layer > open the Styles and go to change the Angle to say +89 or whatever and the Altitude to say 45 ... the first Layer/Shape Effects change.
How I can keep one Layer from being affected by an other Layers Effects'?
I have found that if I Rasterize a Layer Effect that I can add a "double" effect on the same layer but I haven't tried the to do this with separate layers. However, for most of the work I am doing I cannot use the Raster because everything needs to be true vectors.
I have a Dell Laptop/Windows 7 Home Premium that's a 64 bit
I have big, fancy, Photoshop 7.0 and I'll be damned if I can figure out how to do some simple redeye removal. The whole thing is really over my head, but I'm a musician trying to clean up some photos with redeye.
After installing the CS4 upgrade on my Vista 32-bit machine I went to uninstall CS3. The procedure ended up with the red crosses and an error message stating that CS3 and components could not be removed.
Having deactivated CS3 I tried once more with the same result.
I would appreciate any advice on how best to proceed to uninstall CS3 whilst ensuring I don't screw up my CS4 installation.
I'm running Photoshop CS3 as an upgrade from CS2 using XP Pro, In order to use some third party software I was advised to remove CS2 or the software would not work. But when I did so I found that some of CS3 was compromised as a result. For example, in Bridge I could no longer double click on an image to load it in PS.
Since my CS3 is an upgrade, is it sharing some common files with CS2? And if so, how do I remove it without removing the essential files. And if my CS3 it is not sharing files with CS2, what can I do to remove the latter without messing up the former?
I sadly do not have Photoshop C5 so can not easily remove someone from photos. I tried the cloning tool to just place the background over the person to be removed but it doesn't look very nice. (I'm just starting to use Photoshop).
It is a lake scene and the person to be removed is on the far right, not in the middle of a group or anything.
