Contrast?Or is this simply not possible because the ~25% alpha black tint is placed OVER the wallpaper?

View 2 Replies View Relatedwin xp CS2 We have tif files of drawings placed in a ID publication. Our printer has informed me that the drawings, which are basic line drawing wtih a color panel behind, are constructed of 100% of all four colors and therefore too much ink for the press to handle. The printer wants the black converted to a rich blk (40, 20, 10, 100)Is there a easy clean way of doing this? I suspect it's something in the channel pallette. Your thoughts?

Some fonts have attributes with other names such as 'Black', 'Black-Italic', 'Normal-Italic' etc. I would like to be able to set these attributes.
Set s1 = ActiveLayer.CreateArtisticText(0, Position, "X")
Set txt = s1.Text.Story.Paragraphs(1)
txt.Bold = True
txt.Italic = True
1. Black drop shadow does not appear black when Publish to PDF
2. The object beneath the drop shadow will appear as show below:
I've tried to convert the drop shadow to bitmap but the result is same.
When I import an eps, or create a new object with a shape tool. The default style is a clear fill and a hairline CYMK black (0,0,0,100) outline. I think I know how to change it to true black (0,0,0,0), but when i import an eps or an illustrator file, it is coming in as CMYK black (0,0,0,100)

I have tried all different PDF creation settings (high quality, press quality, PDFX3, default) from Illustrator but nothing works. How can I create a PDF that maintains 100% black and prevents it from converting to process black?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have found what I can only assume is a bug. I have a PSD file that when opened in CS5 looks as it should. When I open it in CS6 any shape with a gradient overlay displays as black. When I choose Save for Web it displays correctly in the save window, but the file displays the shapes as black in the regular Photoshop view.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI used to use Ps normally, but since I've reinstalled my Windows recently so I had to reinstall Ps as well. However, when I used Gradient Overlay, it didn't work out correctly as it's supposed to do: no matter how I configured the option, it just filled a solid color instead of a gradient (as number 1 in picture). When I clicked reverse, it filled with the other solid color. Number 2 I used Gradient Tools to make it easier to compare.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe just upgraded at work to CS6 and overlay blending isn't working like it did in CS5.
Overlay used to multiply values below 50% and add screen above 50% regardless of what the layer underneath looked like. I'm not sure what's going on now.
Am I the only one seeing this? Is there a setting somewhere to get it back to working the way it was? I haven't seen any documentation on the change and a search of the support shows no one else complaining about the same issue. But me and my coworkers are all seeing the same issue.

I have one main image and what i now want to do is have a much smaller image, that will overlay the main one and place it in the corner say of the main image, so you can see both images,
I am working with DVDit pro 6.0 and I am trying figured out how to make a background menu and the overlay layer that goes with it.
I am able to make an overlay layer with the following path: Layer/New/Layer and choosing Overlay in the Mode section. The thing that I don't understand is how to work with this Overlay layer .
I understand that the overlay is the subpicture but i'm a little lost. For example, if I have a button which is a picture and I want that the overlay color would be yellow. How to make this work?
Is it possible to create an image that I can then use to overlay images on my website, to give them the apperance of being set to opacity 50%?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have using the overlay feature in Photoshop for two years now. It's always worked well, I put a solid color on one layer, a black and white image on a layer above it, choose overlay, and the black and white image takes on the color from the layer below, keeping all the contrast of the original photo. It's why I like this instead of just changing the opacity, which just lightens and washes the image out, even though the color shows through. Now suddenly when I try to do the same thing I've always done, it takes on the color but I get all these bright blown out areas. I have always worked in CMYK as it's for print. I tried making the image black and white and copying it directly from the grayscale file and pasting it into the CMYK file, and I've tried making it a grayscale image, and then turning it back into a CMYK before I paste it into the actual CMYK file I'm working with. Both ways have the same bad result. It's almost as though a preference accidently got changed but I can't find what it might be.

I made this image for printing onto t-shirts, but the printer came back and said that it was far too low a quality. only 23dpi when they require at least 72 and preferably up to 300dpi. I tried to increase the resolution but fell back on trying to remake the image.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 2 layers one with a gradient and another with some text and the gradient is set to overlay. I need these layers merged with the effects still in tact. Is it possible to do this?
edit: alternatively I could magic wand layer 2 and cut those pixels from layer 1 but, how i can get the magic wand to not ignore blending effects. Say i have a drop shadow on text the magic wand just circles to text and not the shadow.
Any way to use a whole color layer as a grayscale or color mask (without having to destruct it), and would save on extra layers to mimic the effect of JUST MOVING THE COLOR OVERLAY BEHIND THE COLOR INFORMATION. add a "render color layer in back", or something like that.

when i wanna change the colour of a shape/photo etc i often use the colour overlay option becuase it lets me eye drop to the colour i want. The problem is that i cant apply effects to this picuture/shape later as the colour overlay still has priority, ie if i wanna put a texture on it it still shows the colour overlay. Is there a way to merge the layer so it takes on all effects and i can apply new ones?

My first thought was to do a transparent overlay on top of a black background and then had hoped there was some way photoshop could take a point-sample, giving me their basic structure. I was unable to find any way of doing this so far and was hoping one of you could point me in the right direction.
