Photoshop :: Less Transparent The Thicker The Object
Aug 5, 2006
OK, total newb with photoshop here. Not sure how to explain what I was trying to do so if title is not descriptive enough, sorry.
Also have searched but agian difficult to explain what I want so difficult to find correct search words.
I have a layer is a PSD which someone else has created, unfortunately said person has not come back with a how to on this, where there are a few 'white' objects which fade from solid white in the centre to transparent at the edge. Also if the object has thin lines these also fade.
I'm sure there's a way to do this but for the life of me I can't remember and can't find it when I do a search. I have an object that is comprised of several lines that are grouped together, and I want to fill the entire group with a fractal cloud 3-color fill. In order to do so, I am creating the fill as a background, and making the object transparent, but when I do that, all my lines disappear (of course!) but I need the lines in it for details. Basically I want to layer this object
I have hand written initials. It looks to be something that was signed on copy paper and then the background was removed to get an alpha channel. These initials are a bit too thin to make an impact within the logo i am designing.
How do i thicken the lines without a stroke which would hurt the detail.?
Using PS CS4 on Windows XP. I have an image on the left with apples showing 4 that are transparent (opacity set to 50%). I am wondering if there is a way to make the apple look transparent, but not transparent to the others so that the apples look more like they do on the right (not going through each other). I understand these are completely solid, but I was wondering if there is a way to make an object look like it's transparent, but not be able to go through another object.
I have an object that I need to photograph and make transparent for video purposes. How would I go about doing this with Photoshop?
I have a clean product shot against a white background, but I can also take one against black if that makes any difference. I tried searching the forums and the web but I think my wording was a bit too technical, and I was unable to find any information.
I have been trying to figure out how to create text within another object that blends in with the background (behind that object).
If you notice the "two plus three equals" portion on the top left of the 5 blends in with the color of the shirt (so if the shirt was red or blue, the "two plus three equals" would show up as red or blue instead of yellow). How do you do this in photoshop? I've been trying to find a tutorial on this for a while, but to no avail.
how to edit an "uneditable smart object" (Layer>Smart Objects>Edit) but can't get rid of the white background... I want it to be transparent. This is despite the fact that I've indicated transparent background in the New File specifications.
I've gone to create a new shape layer or text layer, it appears like it's at 50% opacity. I've checked my layer settings, and they're all at 100% fill and opacity. I can't see any reason why they'd be semi-transparent, and none of the settings I've tried have changed anything. I've even tried deleting the shapes/text, saving my document, and starting over. That worked one time, but this time it's not working.
Even applying a color overlay still results in a semi-transparent shape.I am in the middle of doing a design for a client, for print, and I really can't be dealing with this right now.
When I copy objects from a drawing to another drawing in .DWG, it appears that the lineweights becomes different between the two drawings.
For example, let's say there is a layer whose Lineweight is 0.3mm, Color is green and Linetype is continuous on the source drawing file. You notice the objects under that layer should be thicker. After copying to another drawing or destination drawing file, I noticed the layer got transferred across which is good and everything else associated with that layer. But then, I noticed on the other drawing, the objects on that layer are not as thick as that of the source drawing file. When i checked the layer on the layer properties manager, it shows the lineweight is 0.3mm. I wonder why the lineweight of the objects are different as if they are 0.00mm and what should I do to keep it consistent on the other drawing after the copy.
The problem is that when I choose or designate an outline thickness, the horizontal is much thicker than the vertical. I need consistency. Especially noticeable if I modify a font, enlarge it, stretch or skew. I do set the outline to scale with image and also don't outline until I am finished with the modifications.
I have a pillow bevel applied to a paint splatter brush image, and I'm having trouble with the shadows. I want to save this splatter as a transparent PNG. The problem is that a drop shadow effect is showing up when I save it this way. I think it's a "shading" setting rather than a true drop shadow, as there is no drop shadow set in the layer styles.
The shadow does not appear when a white background is applied. It only shows when the background is transparent. I've tried reducing the shading opacity in the bevel dialogue, and this does get rid of the drop shadow....the problem is that it also removes the shading from the paint splatter, making the image look flat instead of raised.
Iis there a way to make an object more transparent when see through mode is toggled? it is difficult for me to see through the object and wanted to set the transparency to like 25 instead of 50.
I have some picture look like a line of graph, but it has only one-pixel line width (for an example in attach file) and it can't be seen when I put it in presentation slide. So I want to make line thicker, like 3-5 pixel width. How can I do this?
1) took a picture how a sunset looks at all above water
2) drew a rectangle and reproduced around the color transitions of the sun as an Elliptical fill
3) drew a rectangle for the water, applying fractal fill and transparency Stained glass to reflect the sun maybe, after feathered the edges
And here would be the question, it seems a horizont of the water is always rather a sharp line at sunsets, and in the meantime my water is feathered So how to make a trasparent feathered object on one side sharp, but in other way staying transparent feathered. My first thought was to Ctrl - K cloning of course and make it almost a line, but maybe there is one step method.
its about making 3d object from transparent picture , is it possible, for example i want to make 3d obejct from this picture URL>... so it has depht (thicknes) and everythinh .i used to apply texture on plane and cut out edges of plane so they match the picture.
I am trying to add a new object to the decoration folder. I noticed they are all .png files, so I created a new png item with a transparent background ( with Gimp) and saved it in the same folder where all the other original ones are. It does come up in the list and I can add it to my video, but it changes the background to white, even though the original one has definitely a transparent background.
Is this a feature or a bug?If you make an object (vector or bitmap) 100% transparent, a Repel Text Under setting is ignored. You can take it upto 99.5% transparent.(I wanted to move some text to reflect the position of a shape on a different layer.)
I am currently working on an assembly and want to view it as an isometric view, but, I want to see parts behind a particular object. My question, Is there a way to change the transparency of one object without changing the effects of the other parts? I want to be able to see the front object as well as the one behind it.
How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?
I have been having issues with using the Magic Wand tool in Adobe Illustrator as well as the lasso tool.
Basically, I am trying to put a small graphic into a new Illustrator file.
The first thing I tried to do is to use the magic wand tool. But I found out that this did not work on a jpeg image since it did not have any individual objects to select.
So I tried something new. I opened the file in Adobe Photoshop and used the lasso tool to select an area. Then I coped this area. Then I tried to paste it into Adobe Illustrator. But the background was not transparent for the pasted image.
How do I make the background transparent.
I made this small video to show what I am talking about: [URL] .....
I have pictures I've brought in from PS and traced them, when I go to overlap them, the white box from the images block the image behind it. How do I make everything around the image transparent so it doesn't block the rest of the objects/pictures..etc.
What happened to the Thicker Lines feature in the view port Shading menu? This is an absolutely essential feature! Is it part of the removed features in Maya 2014?
I am trying to redesign these cupcakes. I am wondering how do I get the thinner endings of the lines that eventually become thicker as the line extends? You can see it on the frosting lines and smiles. I am using Illustator 10.
I know how to use the transparency tool to make and object partially transparent but is there someway to make an entire object transparent so that what you put behind the object shows through? I am using the symbol of our logo and want to put pictures behind it so that they show though.
