How do i select the white sky in this photo without selecting any of the tree or leaves? I know it can be done with the "selecting tool" but it takes forever to do every little but of sky.
There has to be an easier way?
If it helps I have photoshop 7.0 & CS3.
I would like to use a brush tool and put some blue sky between it...
My first real bump on the road is making realistic leaves on trees and bushes. I do not mean really realistic, but more cartoon style but good enough that it looks good. To give a idea of what I mean, look here.
When I try this I try with a paintbrush, but with a larger circle brush the result is to smooth and with a 1px brush it is to small?
I'm looking for some particular brushes and haven't had any luck finding any. I make aerial view illustrations of housing and commercial developments. Usually I am hand coloring them and scanning them into Photoshop for clean-up and text. Lately, however, we are wanting to do all the coloring in Photoshop and Illustrator which brings me to my problem. Since the linework is Autocad based, the trees look really bad (fake), so I'm trying to find tree brushes. I've been able to find plenty of brushes for elevation views, but I need aerial views. Has anyone run across any? We're currently using PS7, but I'm really close to getting CS2 out of them.

It works well except for 1 problem. The brush drops down images that are vaguely transparent so when 1 mountain overlaps another, it creates an overlay that looks horrible. As if the brush is 50% opaque.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having an extremely hard time blending two photos. I have the following two photos which I want to blend: and
What I want to do is keep the sky from the second image. I want the border to be at the top of the trees. Now the edge of the trees is very uneven and difficult to select.
So I thought I would get around this by using a layer mask. To achieve this I took one of the images:
- desaturated it/turned it into monochrome/or decompose it
- used either levels or curves to try and get us much contrast as possible
and then used the resulting image as a mask. Unfortunately what happens is I get what looks like chromatic abberation at the edge of the trees and sky. Look here:

I have a site plan with trees which look like two crossed planes when looked in 3D black and white. I wonder if there is a way to smooth these trees so they look smooth at least during the time that I prepare a PDF of the black and white 3D Site Plan. If this setting can be reverted to the crossed trees after preparing the PDF, that is fine. Also at this time I am working with black and white 3D, so color is not an issue, only the smoothness of the trees. Is there a setting that can make these trees look smooth?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm have an issue where my windows disappear behind my tree outline when I print. The trees are default revit deciduous trees. I have overridden element to make it 100% Transparent. Also I have tried to override it in visibility Graphics. [URL] ... Is this a problem with Revit 2014. This happens with both our paper printer, our plotter and adobe pdf so we know that its not a specific printer issue. Also it only happens in hidden line mode when changed to realistic mode, the windows print.
I have attached views of a printed to pdf view with the windows missing and a revit view of the same drawing before sent to the printer. As you can see it looks correct in my revit view.
Is there any easy way to drag a node from one extreme to another of a very larges tree? In nuke we have a modifier key that sticks the node at the cursor while you browse in the tree.
In the smoke you have to take the node, drag the window to the end, drop, drag a tree, grab the node, drag . Is there any method, modifier key, parameter in preferences.
I imported trees using Civil View which are images projected on planes. I was wondering if its possible to get the shadows more realistic? It currently displays the plane shadows which are 2 planes crossed in the shape of an "X". I also noticed on others' systems their tree objects are more 3d and not images draped on planes. Is this due to graphics card?

However, for some reason, especially on the edges of the objects, the threshold tool left some grey marks, instead of black and white.
I tried using the threshold tool again, but not all of the grey marks were removed

I'm experiencing this incredibly annoying behavior in PS over the past 10 days. Dragging with a selection tool (or shape tools) used apply a thin dotted outline only when the mouse was depressed—very useful for knowing what area would be selected. Now I don't see that outline until I release the mouse button (or stylus) at which point the outline persists (see attached screenshot). The behavior is sometimes corrected with a restart, other times not.

I am trying to set-up point and point label styles to show trees on a survey plan. The point styles is set with a block, and a label is a regular label style that shows a point number and elevation. The problem comes when the label is positioned outside of the block that represents the point. What I need is sort of fixed offset from the center of the point.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen resizing a layer with a layer mask and using any bicubic method, the layer maks scales 1 pixel differently from the other layers. Is this normal due to some component of bicubic interpolation or is it a bug?
Try the following:
Create a new image in Photoshop at 800 px x 800 px
Leave the locked BG layer and create a new layer
Fill the new layer with green (or your favorite color)
Add a layer mask to the green layer and fill the mask with black (via Fill with foreground color or Alt+Del) to completely remove any visible green from your document
Now use Image-> Image Size (Opt+Cmd+I) to resize your document using any bicubic scaling method. Resize to 600 px by 600 px.
Now zoom in on the document's edge at the pixel level. Is it completely white as it should be?In my case, no. However, if I use 'nearest neighbor' interpolation method when scaling, I do get a solid white edge. Even more strange, if I fill the layer mask with black by inverting it rather than filling it the problem does not happen.
I understand the difference betweeen lift and extract, but cannot figure out how to make an in to out cut and leave no gap.If I lift from in to out, there is a gap created from my in to out, which is what I would expect.
If I extract from in to out, there is still a gap, but about half the size of lifting.How to I extract and leave no gap???
I'm using Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer and Adobe Bridge CS6 concurrently. If I have Bridge open to the same folder as PSE Organizer and I do an "Add captions ..." operation to a group of files selected in the Organizer, then there is a very good chance that PSE Organizer will rename one or more files to OriginalFileName_edTMP-1.extension and leave the renamed file in the directory rather than completing the update and returning the file(s) to their original name. In most cases my original files are Nikon .nef files with .xmp sidecar files, but I've also seen this happen with .psd files. The .nef files are generally large, averaging 35 Mb per .nef image and the .psd files are usually over 100 Mb. If PSE Organizer and Bridge are open to different folders then Organizer does not leave the renamed file. logical threading error in PSE Organizer where it does not consider that another application may be monitoring the folder and also opening the files, which is what Bridge does when it discovers that a file has changed (the addition of a caption changes the file contents.) This was also a defect in PSE Organizer 10.
