Firstly, what does a person do when they need 57 channels (56 being the top limit)? I am sure that large projects go OVER 56 channels. I can't be the first person to ask about this issue, yet I can find nothing on "the 57th channel."
Â
Secondly, why is there (what seems to be) an arbitrary limit of only 56 channels?
Â
No place can I find details about the 56 channels, and how to deal with when you need more channels.
I have a selection in a Photoshop RGB document. I would like to add a constant value (say +16, for example) to all of the red values for each pixel in the selection.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy link but when I get to the part where it says to add the alpha channel - add alpha channel is greyed out in gimp.
I'm using Gimp 2.6 - windows xp.
what I have been doing to work with transparency: bring up GIMP to add an alpha channel and set part of an image to transparent. Save and use in Paint.net.Today, for example, I wanted to create a M + W logo, and the result looked like this:I set the font to Engravers MT, put a red W on an image.Selected "All", copied to clipboard, then pasted to a new image.Vertically flipped the new image, making it an M, changed color to blue using Recolor tool. Saved it as PNG, closed image.Started GIMP, opened the blue M image.On GIMP menu, selected Layer --> Transparency --> Add Alpha ChannelUsed Fuzzy Select Tool to select the area outside the blue MHit delete key to remove color of fuzzy selection (converting it to transparent)Save image as PNG and exit GIMP.Back in Paint.net, open the M image.Select All of Image, copy to clipboard.Paste into New Layer of W image.Adjust position of this transparent selection layer to achieve desired resutl as above.Save the completed image.I find GIMP to be very hard to work with, and prefer working with Paint.net. It would be so nice to be able to create an alpha channel and make a transparent area of an image inside of Paint.net.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am a screen printer and I print my separations from Photoshop. I routinely work with multi channel files or RGB files with additional spot color channels. I have created actions to place my registration marks, re-size images, etc to get ready to print but I manually have to create the text labels for each screen if they are missing from the original artwork.
The files I work with have channels named as "Base White, Red, Green, 284 Blue" etc indicating the ink color. What i would like to be able to do is click an action that would copy the text from the channel name and insert it into a separate or each/all channels near the top of the file so that when I print each positive it has a corresponding label for ink color.
I am not sure if this is even possible, and I am limited on my knowledge when it comes to actions and have pretty much got lucky in the past getting them to do what I want without unnecessary steps.
On my registration target action it creates a new channel with each individual reg mark then combines them into one separate channel in which I just copy the contents and select all the ink channels and fill with black to make them appear, i'm happy with the steps it takes as it isn't too much trouble and if this could do the same with labels I would be happy with that.
My printer told me to add 5% C 5% M and 5%Y to my 100%k channels as without it I can see the black comes out a little/touch fury on things like small thin text.
Â
Is this the same on all other colors too? Eg. say 100% Cyan color, should I add 5% M, Y and K?

What is the more usual image mode? I think my files have been 8 bits per channel for many years. I was having a lot of trouble with Photoshop slowing down dramatically on several large files I created, and I noticed I had made them in 16 bit mode. Would this require more RAM?

I have just installed.
Photoshop CS4 Extended as part of the master suite.
I have also CS3 on the same PC.
Now the channel mixer doesn't show the sliders for tint (hue and saturation); the same happens on the B & W adjustment window.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been colouring an image which was black and white, consiting mainly of black lines. I've made a special channel for the lines and coloured it all in the RGBs chanel, and now when I want to save this as an jpg or at all, the lines vanish. The chanel and the original pic is still there but the lines just won't apply to the rest of the art so they coul be seen, only when I click on the visible or not button at the channel. I've tried to merge it but it still only gives me the colours of the pic without the lines..
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created two masks with channels to use on an image. Now I want to combine the two channel masks into one to use. I made a new layer in channels of the composite masks which gave me an Alpha channel. The Alpha channels show the solid black paint lines where I filled in the selection voids. These solid lines affected the adjustment layers so I ended up doing some erasing at 50%. Not the shortest workflow direction. How can I combine two channel masks (selections) into a common selection and save as a new Channel?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI created an alpha channel with marquee tool on a colored backgound, by using "select > save selection", the alpha channel appeared at the bottom of the channel palette. I know the white part should represents transparency and the black part is opaque. But when I import this into the Adobe premiere6.5, the thing is reversed, I have to use "alpha channel" plus "reverse" option to get what I want - see through the "white" part. I heard there is an option in the photoshop with which you can define whether you want "white" is transparent,black is opaque or vice versa,
View 8 Replies View RelatedI apparently changed something in CS3.
I frequently change the mode of my images from RGB to LaB to do various tasks. Now when
I convert from RGB to LaB the LaB channel is black instead of displaying the image in LaB color. For the life of me I can't see what I changed.
I have an image that I want to have an alpha channel even though it isn't used at all. Even if I save the image with transparency flag in "Save for web" (as PNG), Photoshop doesn't include the alpha channel with image because it's not been used. Is there a way I can overcome this (other than adding a single transparent pixel to image or using another program)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedOnce I create an alpha channel, how do I edit it? I have tried selecting and clicking the alpha channel, and then using the paintbrush tool. I understand that if I have a white foreground, painting should remove some of the mask, while a black background should result in the painting adding to the mask. But often nothing seems to happen when I paint. Or, at other times, the painting results in paint marks on my image but doesn't affect the "marching ants" and therefore doesn't affect the mask. I have already checked that my K setting in Color is at 0 for white and 100 for black. Using CS5 version 13.0 x64 with Windows 7.Â
