I have two art objects on two layers. I want to match to the pixel the two objects that otherwise could be exactly the same but one layered object was imported slightly smaller.
The scale tool has good scale handling, I just want to measure the tool spots to the pixel to gain an exact scale size factor and match sizes.
I'm using Photoshop CS5 and as you can see on the picture below, when I set my grid line to every 1 px, grid doesn't match canvas pixel size.
Now I'm not able to draw sharp shapes using pen tool because even if I hold shift key everything gets blurry.
see the attached.
I have a document that is 1in x 1in and the resolution is 10ppi. The grid spacing is 1px but you can see the grid is not aligned with the pixels (which are coloured green in this image).
I am using CS6 and for some reason you have to set up the gridline every 2px with a 2px subdivision.
When I crop a picture Pixel Demensions become 6 bytes Width and Height 1 pixel each. I can no longer see the picture. How can I fix this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a set of drum scans of medium format film images. The pixel dimensions of the scans vary slightly. But they all consist of images of the same frame size, with borders around the image (scanned film outside the image.) All of the scans were done at 4000 pixels per inch, at 100 percent.
For example, the pixels dimensions of one scan is 10492 x 6907, another is 10390 x 6968, and another is 10483 x 6976.
I want to crop all of them to 10200 x 6738 pixels. I want to delete the cropped pixels, and I do not want any scaling to take place. I want to preserve the original metadata (the scanner model, pixels per inch, etc.); in other words, I want to modify the files (or copies of the files), not create new files. The print size does not matter.I've tried several approaches, and none of them let me do what I want:
1.) Manually cropping each scan individually does not give me the control that I need for cropping to precise pixel dimensions.
2.) Creating a Crop Preset with the desired pixel dimensions doesn't work because using it results in scaling (I think.)
3.) Using Canvas Size doesn't work because the borders in the scans are not equal on all four sides. I need to be able to move and position the image inside the crop area.
4.) Using New, and Place… allows me to create a Canvas Size with the desired pixel dimensions and resolution, and move the placed images; they will fit without scaling. However, this results in a new file being created, and therefore the metadata is lost.
It blows my mind that somthing this simple isnt all that simple. I used the eyedropper tool to slect a color from another photo, then used the brush while fully magnified to change the color of each pixel.
It was coming out a weird greyish color, and I noticed that if I clicked more than once, it got darker, but so did the pixels directly around the one i was editing. So, i copied both pictures, loaded them into paint, and went to town.
It worked, but then when i copied it back into photoshop, it had a black background (there was no background in the original pictures) around the sprite I was editing. I tried to use the magic wand tool to get rid of it, but it took parts of the sprite with it, so...
Is there any way that I can edit the color of a single pixel (or hell, even a group of pixels if they share the same exact color would be nice...preferred, even) accurately? If not, what program could I use that would keep the transparent background?
When resizing a layer with a layer mask and using any bicubic method, the layer maks scales 1 pixel differently from the other layers. Is this normal due to some component of bicubic interpolation or is it a bug?
Try the following:
Create a new image in Photoshop at 800 px x 800 px
Leave the locked BG layer and create a new layer
Fill the new layer with green (or your favorite color)
Add a layer mask to the green layer and fill the mask with black (via Fill with foreground color or Alt+Del) to completely remove any visible green from your document
Now use Image-> Image Size (Opt+Cmd+I) to resize your document using any bicubic scaling method. Resize to 600 px by 600 px.
Now zoom in on the document's edge at the pixel level. Is it completely white as it should be?In my case, no. However, if I use 'nearest neighbor' interpolation method when scaling, I do get a solid white edge. Even more strange, if I fill the layer mask with black by inverting it rather than filling it the problem does not happen.
Via VBA macro, some way of getting RGB/CMYK color values of a bitmap pixel by pixel?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI managed to remove the background, of an image,(A whit background) and put the image on top of a transparent layer. made a transparent image. When I place this image over a light color background, it looks fine, but when I place it over a dark color background, the edge of the image looks very rough and dirty, I think it's because some of the anti alias from the original image, how can I make it a clean image without going to delete pixel by pixel?
View 2 Replies View Related We are developing an application using functionality of Gimp´s channel mixer with java.
Our problem is that we don’t Know how channel mix works exactly for transforming pixel by pixel in Java.
For example,
We have an image an do on it the next mix:
Output Channel = Red
Red=200.0
Green=0.0
Blue=0.0
For simulate that, we transform all pixels with Red Component *2 and 255 (maximum) if is greater.
Our problem is:
Output Channel = Red
Red=200.0
Green=60.0
Blue=0.0
How can I simulate that?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I drag around vector points of paths they are not constrained to the pixel grid, when the option "Snap Vector Tools and Transform to Pixel Grid" is off. This is the behavior I expect.BUT: When I drag whole paths, they snap to the pixel grid, no matter what. I even have snapping completely disabled.
This is particularly annoying when eg. creating a path for a zipper. I first make a path for the inside of the jacket or whatever, then I make one notch for the zipper and copy it over and over again for all the notches. It's very troubling when these elements snap to the pixel grid, because it's very unprecise then.
How can set that an object only moves per 1 pixel increments when moving using the arrows keys?I am designing a few web banners right now and when i move objects with the arrow keys to have them placed exactly, they jump with more then 60 pixels in one go making this exercise a bit useless.

Anyhow...Is there anyway I can get a plug-in, that turns my normal images into Pixel art?
Surely there is a plug-in for CS2, where I can change an image, into a pixellised version.

View 7 Replies View Relatedhow to convert pixels to cm2? for example, let's say that i have an area of 100 pixels. the square root of the pixels is 10 and the resolution is 10 pixels/cm. thus the area in cm would be 1 cm squared, correct? unfortunately, this does not compute correctly in photoshop. as in the number that i get never corresponds to the actual dimensions measured in the image.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have identified a major problem using CS6.
When nudging folders (filled with layers) around in Photoshop. Holding the shift key at the same time as pressing an arrow usaully nugdes content 10 pixels. However, pressing the arrow key in quick succession, for example 4 times, it will only nudge content 39 pixels or 41 pixels. Pressing the arrow key, say 10 times, quickly would result in only a 95 pixel movement.
Opening the same (80mb) file in CS5 and performing the same test, nudges a ... perfect 10 everytime..
I am a ux visual designer working on major household clients and my PSDs need to be pixel perfect before passing to development. Anything out of place would be highlighted and ultimately would make me look like a novice.
The files are not big. They are for the web. I use CS6 (v 13.0.4) and a 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7 Macbook Retina with 16GB RAM and SSD. Currently the fastest Macbook you can buy!
I would like to know if it is possible to move a shape (or what have ya) less than a full pixel left, right, up or down?
I've tried holding the Alt key and other things. Also, I've been unable to pinpoint the right keyword while searching the user manual and the FAQ's.
In Classroom in a book for CS5 this is clearly explained and community fora make mention of pixel mask, but none actually step you through it. I can not find it in the properties panel.

bought a CD printer and made a template on photoshop. when using the elliptical tool (and yes, i held shift+alt to make it symmetrical/centered) to make the work paths around the inner ring, it asks something about pixel tolerance (the default was at 2.0) and after i hit okay, the circle becomes messed up.. how can i make a perfect circle? if i change the tolerance numbers to higher or lower, the circle becomes even more irregular and jagged.
this is how it looks in photoshop...
this is a smaller version (kind of easier to see the irregularities)
and this is how it looks when i print it

so far i've got 'select all'
'modify border''then I blank out.
I know I have to press ctrl something or something like that to fill the selected area with the border color I want but I can seem to find it.
I often have to make borders for certain pictures, and I usually make them at 3px. Sometimes they are nice and thick like 3px should be, but sometimes they come out thin. It doesn't matter whether I am editing on a jpeg or png. Also I edit them in grayscale mode if that helps. I also noticed them problem with the brush, and text tool, as in pixels changing size (going from normal to smaller). I have tried resetting all settings. Should I remove the configuration folder in AppData (I use vista 64 bit)?
