I am trying to do the dissolve effect in Photoshop or maybe this is not the name of the effect. I have been trying to find a shot to show as an example and can't find one exactly what I want to do but here is one that is close. Basically to the right and left of the face where the white feathering bleeds in is a dissolved bright yellow white on the cheekbones. I want to get this white dissolved look to some of my images.
I'm after creating a series of spot/dots that gradually get smaller the further away from the center in a dissolving effect. Ideally stemming from a radial pattern if this makes sense?
The problem is that he wants the images to dissolve into the background and the person who has done is has saved them as JPEGS instead of PNG files meaning that instead of being able to dissolve into the background it dissolves into white within the image (the background isn't white!)
I've never come across this before and he hasn't got the original files. How to get rid of the white so it will dissolve into nothing or change the white into the colour i need?
I'm trying to add a dissolve on the timeline between two clips as I have many times before and one of them will not allow me to dissolve to or from it. It won't allow any dissolves at all actually.
Both are 1920x1080 10bit clips rendered out of action. Any attempts to put a dissolve on the cut ends up with it being only on the end-tag (the second clip). If it tell it to be centered it puts a one frame dissolve on the end-tag. If i tell it Up To Cut it does nothing. From Cut works as expected.
Cross dissolve will not fade out clips correctly. It gets down to 10-15% opacity on the last frame and that's the lowest it goes. During playback, you can see how abrupt the fade is.
Ticking the "Composite in Linear Color" sometimes improves it, but it's still not a smooth fade. Why is it that I can manually add opacity keyframes to fix this problem (regardless of "comp"), but cross dissolve cannot do a smooth fade?
The following are screenshots of the last frame before the clip ends. The cross dissolve is 30 frames long.My system is i5, 560GTX, CUDA enabled, PP CC 7.2.1, Windows 8.1.
-White background, last frame, Composite not enabled:
-White background, last frame, Composite ENABLED:
With a white background, comp enabled is a bit better, but you can still see the content. I'd expect another frame or two before a complete fade. Black background, last frame, Composite not enabled:
Again, I'd expect another frame or two before total darkness. Oddly enough, after adding and deleting opacity keyframes and switching comp on and off, I managed to get a nice smooth fade with comp OFF with the above example. Some kind of bug? Can't seem to duplicate it yet.Black background, last frame, Composite ENABLED:
With the default black background, having comp enabled makes it WORSE. This has been happening since 2011, here's a thread over on the Creative Cow forum talking about the same issue: (and I know there's threads here on the Adobe forum talking about it too)URL....
I have two layers: a background in yellow and a cropped image in the other layer. Now I want to dissolve the cropped image in the background, how can i do that automatically? I know I have the smudge tool, but the results are not so good for me...

i have a picture i am working on that certain layers use the "Dissolve" mode of blending to obtain a scattered look but when i try to save it so i can use it online as a jpg it flattens and totally losses the look i was going for.
any way to save without flattening or for the Dissolved layers to keep their unflattened appearance?
I have attached an image of a butterfly with a broken effect on its wings. You can see the effect inside the marching ants. How do i get this kind of effect?
I'm making some graphics to be printed on a car. I have some lines with outer glow on them, but Illustrator won't render these unless I use 72DPI in raster effects reslution. I would like to go higher, but it won't give me anything. Guessing it's to heavy for Illustrator maybe? Is there anything I can do about this? I'm making my graphics in 1:1 scale, but I do it in a lower scale since it's just vector art anyway, however how would that effect my glow? Since it's a raster effect.
how do l get the chrome effect on my solid model also the effect of metal's. I've been using AutoCad Colour Index - True colour and Book Colour, but it just doesn't look right.
This happens in all versions I have been able to check in - CS5.5, CS6 & CC.
Repro: Import any footage to a new project - any resolution or frame rate. Create new composition from clip. Type in "Crop" in effects search Double click to load it. Result is an effect called "Wigglerama" & "transform" gets loaded instead of the required "Crop" effect
See attached image below - cannot believe I never saw this before
Have a project and need to find a way to produce a x-ray effect on a object.
Some methods have entered my mind on how this could be accomplished - > inverting the excised object from my photo(s) > desaturate the objects > inject some artificial luminescence with glow or lighting effects > create a canvas for the x-ray - Before any serious time is invested I thought it would be a good idea to see if anyone has done this before, or has any ideas.
I want to put a Sun onto an existing photo that looks very similar to this with all of the beams coming out, to make it look very realistic. Has anyone got any tips on how to create this or a good tutorial i could look at?
I've tried converting my image to grayscale then to bitmap, round halftones but I cannot achieve a similiar effect. Was this done another way? I was thinking the frequency (lines/inch) of my halftone was off, would there be a rule to follow as to how many lines per inch depending on image size?
i seen this on another forum and i would love to know how the effect was created. The guy who posted it says that the only filter he used was gausian blur.
I am trying to get at is a frontpage of a newspaper. I am going to scan a newspaper and replace the headings with my desired text..
Secondly I am going to replace the photo on the newspaper frontpage with my desired photo. Now, the whole page will be black and white, even the photo. But specific objects in the photo will be colored. Eg, the shoes will be colored but the rest of the body B&W.. How can I get that effect?
I've noticed a new lil' effect goin' around.. Looks like the pen tool is being used but could someone make a tutorial as to how it's done or link me to one? (Hence I've more of a visual learner, I'd preferr a tutorial with images) Here is what I'm talking about...
(The highlighted pen shaped areas. I know how to do the pattern,text,button,border... I just can't figure out how people are making those pen effects...)
