how to do this chore. Worse, I know it must be so simple that its laughable. I haven't ever needed to do it though.
I have an image that is great [in my eyes] but in the middle of the image an area of tree foliage shows that is so tightly focused, it distracts. How do I selectively soften, fuzz, blur [likely] or what ever only that portion. I have fought this since Sept and haven't found an answer that feels right.
I saw a pic which was converted to Black n white except this one object in it.
For example: If you have a bunch on red roses.. only one amoung them is in color, everything else is black n white. Gives picture a unique look!
How can this be done in PS? I've just started using PS so please excuse if this is a stupid question.
I'm trying to make a photo monochrome, but keep the person with the originial colors (so background is monochrome).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to apply a selective blur to a photograph. What I am doing is using the Polygonal Lasso and select around my item. Then I try to use the Ctl +I to invert, but when I do that, the image inside the lasso tool looks polorized. What I am trying to get. it using the Gaussian Blur to blur everything in the background and not the item that I have applied the lasso tool to, everything in the lasso should be clear and everything outside (the background) should be blured.

I'm in class and the teacher just showed us Selective Color. I usually use Hue Saturation to enhance colors or color correction. Is there a diffence between the two tools?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running photoshop CS3 in a macbook pro under windows xp, and I want to add color to something in my picture. I used "selective color" (Layer > adjustments > selective color) to add color to a whitish-looking robe that is worn by a character that I created in photoshop earlier, but even when I move the slider to +100 % the color is still too washed out (will add images later). I know from experience using Photoshop CS 3 in my old laptop (a HP Compaq Presario X6000 running windows XP)Â that to get the depth of color I want in my character's robe, I shouldn't have to move the slider all the way to +100 %. Is there any way to fix this so I can get the same color depth I got when I used my old laptop? P.S. When I choose "selective color" a dialogue box comes up. I left the settings in this dialogue box as they are seen in the image, and clicked "ok".
View 2 Replies View Relatedis there a way to select which fonts show up in photoshop (without deleting them)? I want to keep as few as possible so I can find the ones I like quickly.
Now another thing I dont get is all the different font types. Type 1, 2, 3 TrueType, OpenType....
What's the difference between all of these, which should I be using, and how can I tell what my font types are?
When I try to run in selective startup mode with all my non-Windows startup item turned off, Photoshop (CS2) tells me I need to have administrator status, but I do. ? Can I run in selective startup mode or not? andIf so, there must be an Item that I need to turn on.....

My camera software dumps jpegs and raw files into a single folder.Â

I am wanting to batch (automate) process the jpegs in said folder, but not the camera's raw files. How do I employ an action that will only run on the jpegs in the folder and skip the raw files?
I work on an image and use Selective Color to make adjustments, then, out of nowhere, the panel no longer operates.
I can no longer select the colors from the drop down menu for adjustments because the menu is grayed out...here is a photo to demonstrate...
In a file with several layers, my monitor temporarily blacks out when adjusting colors in a Selective Color adjustment layer. Is there a solution?I changed the Advanced Graphics Processor Settings to "Normal" from "Advanced." Seems better but am I losing performance?

View 2 Replies View RelatedCS6 is consistenly locking up in the selective color and curves dialog. i.e. I come to the selective color dialog and try to choose the reds and it is stuck on whites, which I used last and I can't change it. I have to quit and relaunch. The same thing is happening with the Curves dialog. I can edit the RGB curve , but can't select the R, G or B channels until I relaunch. It works for a while and then it just stops.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe are giving Corel VideoStudio Pro X6 a trial. We recently attended a concert a client of ours performed. We video recorded this performance using an iphone 4s cell phone and then downloaded to a Toshiba laptop which operates using Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit . We video recorded one song that we wish to upload to YouTube. Our question is: how can we delete sections of the video portion of the recorded file without deleting the audio portion, and then add wanted video clips which have no audio ? Our goal is to replace sections of the video portion of the file with wanted "silent" video clips from other files without changing the original audio track and original timeline in any way. Can this be done using Corel VideoStudio Pro X6? We are hoping that Corel VideoStudio Pro X6 is the video editing software for us.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got Lightroom 4 last night. When I was in college, I used Illustrator and, we learned how to do selective coloring. I have no clue what I'm doing in lightroom 4 to do this. The set up is way more intricate than I anticipated. I've searched for videos online and, they are all for older versions of Lightroom and do not work. how to use selective coloring in Lightroom 4??
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've used Paint Shop for years but can't seem to find an easy way to do selective coloring. My raw converter allows me to use a color picker to select the color I want, then I inverse the selection and reduce saturation to leave the selected color still showing.
Modifying selective color range in Paint Shop is not as effective. Does Paint Shop have something similar? I have X3, but still mostly use X2.
My predicament: Sharp eagle in a noisy clear blue sky. Is it possible to free select around the eagle and apply the selective gaussian blur to just the sky in one step? As it stands I am only able to blur just the sky if I select it in two less than precise sections.

After using vault for a while I think we are ready to start publishing some of out drawings rather than looking them up each time the shop needs them. I would like to go through the drawings in the Vault and select the files I want published. This would not be all the drawings available. I would also like to be able to select files to publish or not as I check them in. I am able to set the folder to publish too, But I do not see how to publish the files. Where to find the settings to control this function?

Once I have a few files open, Photoshop starts "stealing" the cursor focus, which is to say if I go to any other application, as soon as I make one click, PS jumps into the foreground and becomes the active application. The click I made in the other app was applied, and I can see it when I go back to that app, but as soon as I click again, Photoshop pops back into focus.
Â
The only workaround I've found is minmizing PS while I use other apps. Or closing it and restarting it. Sometimes just reducing the program window works, and sometimes not.
I have taken some netball sport photographs where the camera's automatic focus failed to lock onto the player. Rather, it locked onto the background spectators on the edge of the court. Consequently, the player is blurred. I have tried "lens blur" filter and "distortion lens correction" and even "spherise" without success.
