I have an old b/w photo that I want to colorize with a sepia tone, and I know how to do that. BUT i want to give the surrounding text the same colour value, and I cannot find the value of the color that I give the photo - it is not shown anywhere. My PS is from CS3.
attached is a picture with blue flowers. In PS, i would select a portion of the flower at a time and create a new adjustment colorize layer to color the selection. So in the end i had roughly 6 or 7 layers and each one was a differnt color. ill upload the final result as well.
I have an existing Sprite .png file. There are a bunch of images contained in the Sprite and I want to change the color of one image on the sheet. I don't have the layered PSD.
I have a creative director who loves to bring grayscale tiffs into quark xpress, set the color of the tiff to one color and then select the image background "box" and set it to another color.
The result is visually ok, but it all has to be recreated in photoshop to print well. I have been using photoshop for years, and a duotone is not the answer, at least with the curves i have played around with.
What is the best way to recreate this effect in photoshop?
I have a grayscale image that I want to apply color to. I know how to do that by just colorizing it, but instead, I want to apply a color for the whole document. I know how to do this if I want it to be, say, blue (where black is 100 percent of my blue and 50% gray is 50% of my blue, etc.). But, what if I want a unique gradient across the image (where 100% is blue, 50% is 50% red, 10% is yellow, etc.)? How would I do that?
I've been playing around with colorizing black and white images, and it's mostly fine. Where I come in to problems, however, is when encountering a situation where something of one colour can be seen through something of another colour. For example:
This is very much the beginning of a rough draft, so I've not bothered being too precise with where I've coloured as yet, but I hope you can see the issue - the floor looks fine, the dress looks fine, but where you can see the floor through the dress, it doesn't look right at all.
At the moment, this is done by creating a separate layer for each colour, and setting that layer to "Overlay", but it doesn't matter what layer mode I use, I still encounter problems. Is there some technique I'm missing? I've tried playing around with the colours of the specific things - so, for example, changing the colour of the floor where it can be seen through the dress, but leaving it as it is elsewhere - but I've not found anything that produces satisfactory results, as yet.
Another related question is how is best to colorize photos like this. The method I usually use is to create a separate layer for each colour and then use a brush/eraser to paint in the part of the image I want coloured. I've seen tutorials, however, which say that you should fill a layer completely with colour and then use a mask to let only the bits you want to show through be visible. Is there any advantage to doing that? As far as I can tell, it achieves the same result, except that you can't then use Hue/Saturation to adjust the colour after the fact.
When trying to place an image into a new document in photoshop elements 12, I select all-copy-paste the image (or even drag it) over to the new doc created. However, when I do this - the image does not paste in at the same size. It typically shrinks down in size. Do I have to save the file, close out and then open the new doc and PLACE it in the document in order for it to keep size? There must be a better way to do this. Basically, how can I drag a photo that is 4x6 over to a new doc while keeping the size at 4x6.
I am trying to open a photo in camera raw and the image always has a lot of red and blue in the picture? What can I do to avoid this. When I first started learning photoshop this did not happen?
in elements 11 how can I extract a person from one photo and insert that person into another photo? I'm totally new to this and my software booklet doesn't say and I'm lost.
I have two photos, shooted probably the same day, by the same photograph in the same place !But the pose is a bit different. first one is in high resolution and in black & white nuance. second one is a small resolution and in full colors.
I wish re-color the black&white photo using exactly the same nuance from the colored one.
can i "copy" all the colors from the color-one to the b&w one ?
i hope there is a quick way to do that with adobe photoshop or with a commercial plugin. Something like : i load the first one (color), i load the second one (b&n), and i press Ok and magic appears !
Does photoshop let you cut and paste from one pic to the next, like for example... cut out the head of a person on one photo and paste it on another photo?
I did use the scissors and eraser tool to cutout unwanted background, and now I have an image I want to save and copy to another photo. The problem is that Elements 11 won't let me open up another photo at the same time, or let me copy the selected image to clipboard to paste on a different photo.
I have PSE 11 and I am creating a Christmas theme with various pictures. I have my main photo with 6 layers including a tree and figures which I can move independantly and the background is the checkerboard as the main layers are turned off with only my selections showing. I also have another photo where I have selected part of it and also turned off the main layers leaving a small part with checkered background. When I have the main photo loaded and drag the other one from the photo bin with the move tool, nothing appears on the main picture. I have already dragged the Christmas tree in the same way and that worked. By the way, all the files are .PSD.
I have Photoshop Elements 10 which I work with sparingly. I would like to outline a section of the photo (a face) and somehow select it to be the whole photo - in other words to get rid of all background elements. I can outline the area with lasso, but do not know how to just save that area. When I save, the whole original photo is saved. I also tried the magic extractor, which really worked to make just the face and crop everthing else out, but it has a white background the same size as the original photo, which means it is essentially a reactangle with a face in it. I am trying to just get the face so I can paste it into a document, sort of like when people put heads on fake bodies. This is for a church newsletter. I have done this with my old Picture It software, but that was on my old computer. I think I should be able to do this with all the gadgets Photo Shop has, but I must be missing something.
How can I blend a photo into another photo. In other words, when I load a picture into elements 9, and I load another picture on top of that one, How do I fade it in where it is seen but but is faded in?
