View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do one of those jagged sliced text effects for a logo, but I can't get the knife tool to get text once I convert it to outlines (or before).
Does the knife tool not work on text and if not, what do people typically do to get these very perfect slices?
When I use the knife tool on an shapeit leaves a gap where I slice. First I thought it was just an illusion in the program but it stays even after I've exported the image (both by "save as" in illustrator and "export" in inDesign). I've been careful not to move the shapeafter I used the tool so I don't think that should be a reason.
I've tried on different types of shapes like normal circles and more complex shapes. I've also attempted to start a new file from scratch but with the same result What could the reason be? Is there a setting I should be aware of?
This is what I see in Illustrator:
And this is what the image looks like when saved as pdf (in illustrator):
It also looks the same if I place it in inDesign and then export to pdf.
EDIT: I don't know if it is important but the size of the shape is about an A4 or there about.
I am trying to create a GIF using CS3. I have read the discussions on Adobe but I get to a stage in the instructions and it is not working for me. I have 6 jpeg photos, and i bring them all into one. All photos are named different. After reading the forums, the next step is FILE>SAVEAS. Next, you select COMPUSERVE.gif. Once I select that, I have no idea where to go.

i feel like i've done this before with a tiling filter, but i'm not seeing it on CS3.
am i gonna have to trace over the image on a layer with a square brush? seems like there's gotta be an easier way. a plug-in someone knows about perhaps, or a series of steps maybe?
I want to create a droplet in CS6 that I can drag lots of images to and simply have it resize those images and save them to a new folder. I create an action to change the image size and save the images to a folder as a .jpg. I then create a droplet based on this action. I tried several times to drag images onto the droplet, though as it goes through the images it prompts me with questions as it is saving the images, and it never actually saves the optimized images to a folder.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI created a new file, set my sizes and all that, 8bit and began...I literally am using the line tool to make a straight line vertically, I then want to use my brush at 2pixels and 100 hardness to "stroke path", I set my brush then select path selection tool and right click on the line, but "stroke path" is grayed out? I really don't understand. I am following these directions from a website on how to create postcard back.
this is what i was following:
Create a new document with the same exact specifications used earlier for the front. Grab the Line tool and draw a straight vertical line shorter than the postcard’s height, and then place it slightly off center. Set your brush to a size of one or two pixels with a hardness of 100 percent. With the Path Selection tool, right click on the line and choose “Stroke Path.”
I just installed a fresh CS5, we are using some scripting that's installed on 5 other CS5 machines and this never happened before - when files are being saved (using 'save as', overwriting the original) this particular setup is saving xml files too!? See below

I have also tried creating a new layer naming it putting it between my copied layer and background but once again when flattening the image it doesn't keep the lines. I'm using CS4 .
I have been using photoshop for years. recently everytime i click create new file or open existing one, when i do, nothing opens. I can see the layers but i cannot see the workspace. Its like its invisible. How do i fix this? I am woking on a mac book pro and bought cs5.1 last spring.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running Windows 7. I created an Action in Photoshop CS6 that includes placing a rectangle and a logo on the bottom right hand corner of my images and then centered in the middle of the rectangle is text of the event (Event name, Location, Date). After creating everything, I flatten the image, resize it down to a size reasonable for the web, then I save the image to a folder, close the document and click on the STOP button in the Actions panel.
Afterwards, I go into File>Automate>Batch and choose the Action that I just created. In running the action, I notice that the text that I placed into the rectangle on my document is now scaling down to a considerably much smaller size than what I had it set to.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I have been trying to create a gif from a video I went to File > Import > Videos to Layers but all the layers always end up white instead of showing parts of the video like in screenshot below:
It showed the video and played it the first time I tried it but I'm pretty sure I accidentally clicked on something that won't let it show the video anymore and I can't figure out how to undo do it.
I'm messing around with a project for fun and I'm wondering if any of you guys know a great way to make a realistic bar code/UPC image with the thick and thin, black, vertical lines aligned up horizontally? I tried this approach into creating one, but it just wasn't working for me. Here's the method I tried to use (in case some of you have a similar method).
1) Layer 1, start with a white background (hope I didn't lose anyone with this step ;P).
2) I added a Noise filter with the settings of Monochromatic and Gaussian Blur at 400% on Layer 1.
3) Then, I applied the Motion Blur filter 90 Degrees and had the distance set to 999 pixels.
4) Then, I tried to do some adjusting with Curves to brighten it up because before this point, it was just a black and gray image.
And this is where I came close, but no go. I haven't been able to turn the gray into a solid white and I tried using the Magic Wand tool to just select the gray areas and fill them in with white, but that didn't help cause it was blurry and it wasn't all one shade of gray. Any help or if you know another method is doing this will be helpful. Yah, I could just use the line tool and just create thick and thin vertical lines all the way across, but just wondering if anyone else had a better method.
could someone explain how to create a command key for an action?

I'm trying to create a few sigs but being a photoshop rookie its gets tough trying to match the vets. I've done some tutorials on creating cool text effects and I've made some images I like. How do I get the two together? When I tried I lost the effect on the text.

I've been asked by a friend to create a CD cover and inlay for a his band, something I haven't done before (i've only done web-design until now).
I've been reading up online about how to create them and I've been getting nowhere, fast! I read that a CD cover should be 120mm x 120mm, but this appears to be HUGE on my small monitor screen and I have to zoom out in order to see what I'm doing!

I am trying to do the following:
I have a bunch of huge 5.3 megapixel pix on disc. I want to create an action that:
1. opens all the pictures on the disk
2. resizes them
3. applies USM
4. then saves them to a different folder on my HD
I tried to create the above action and it goes through the steps but does not resize them. What seems to happen is that it opens the first picture and performs the command but subsequent files opened do not resize etc..
I'm using Photoshop CS 8.0
studying architecture and we tend to work on standard a1 portrait format sheets. Usually I just draw straight to pages etc but our new project is very conceptual type work and I wanted to try and incorporate some photoshop work into my pages rather than just plain drawings as usual.
how do I set up an A1 portrait format sheet in photoshop cs2? Is it just a case of finding the page measurements and starting a new document of those dimensions in centimetres? Or is there an option to this somewhere that I'm missing?
Also when it comes to printing.... I think I know of somewhere that I can take it to on a cd/usb drive and they will print it, but just in case that falls through, I've seen others split it into A3 size sheets and paste them together after... once you've created an A1 sheet is there a easy way to do this?
I'm looking to create a simple banner with just a background color and text on top. What's the best format to save in if I want to use it in email attachments? I've tried both .gif and .jpg but the text looks blurry when I view it in the email (however it looks crisp on screen in photoshop)
