View 3 RepliesIf I open a jpeg image in photoshop, I can't copy or cut it or anything from it. The "cut" and "copy" options under "Edit" are greyed out.
How can I cut and copy from an imported jpeg image?
brush for making hair?
Or maybe a good technique?
I really want to get into making artwork similar to the picture here images.elfwood.com/art/k/o/kozienko/dwarf_axeman.jpg (with the www in front)
So i started with some rough ideas, shapes and color and started messing around with some of the tools. I'm not that great of an artist and couldn't figure out an easier method of making the textures, I'm new to Photoshop.
Does anyone know some good tutorials and how to make pictures like this? I've looked very hard and seen a ton of stuff, but people are usually terrible about explaining how they're doing something or what tools they're using, plus, this picture is a lot cooler then any other I've seen.
Or can someone atleast link something on making realistic (or actually somewhat overly dramatic) skin and/or hair...
Or even better! If any of you talented people out there can MAKE a tutorial, that would be great!
Thanks for taking the time to read my post, I hope someone can help me out.
I'm trying to make a site that has some nice curved lines in it with some transparent sections showing through.
I'm refering to the cool transparent sections in the image section that fade from completly transparent to opaque.
how to make curved lines like these?
i am trying to make multiple selections using the magnetic lasso and i cant figure out what im doing wrong. first, i have selecte d the outer perimiter of the object. next, i tried to select the holes within the object for a clean cut out by using the shift key but after i finish my selection and release the shift key my selection doesnt turn into marching ants.

It was similar to what you'd find in the Window>Info panel but simplified and would let you know how big the selection you're making is. I've looked all over the Preferences and can't find it.

I've tried lighting up the shadows with the curves option then using the selective color option. But all that does is make a very fake looking film to put over the eyebrows (ya it's eyebrows I'm working on, I'm trying to get them to match a white wig the subject is wearing.)
I've also tried using the solid color option, and a color overlay and that just came out weird.
Has anyone ever turned pitch black hair to white and had it still look like hair?
I am trying to fill a selection in one picture with a selection from another picture. I am having problems scaling the selection to fit exactly. i still have an outline from the other (previous) selection.
I opened both images up side by side, Adjusted the view on both to 33%, made my first selection, hit control + c, made my selection on the other picture (Exact same shape), hit control + v + shift, then edit>transform>scale, then shift+drag.
Can't get it to line up. I also tried layering the two images then reducing the opacity of just the selection, but photoshop reduces the opacity of the entire layer instead of just the selection,
I am operating a Dell Windows system, 2 gig's of ram and using Photoshop CS3. While using the erasure tool to convert background to checkerboard transparency so that image can be selected for transfer to another background, after saving and reopening, the background lost the checkerboard and became totally white. In this state, the image cannot be transfered. Any suggestion on how I can convert the background back to the checkerboard status to allow transfer of just the image?

I'm sure I could go one strand at a time, but I did that last time and I really don't have that kind of patience to do it again... Is there any kind of shortcut effect?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI got a picture of a lady, however, because of the lighting and the fact that it's b/w some parts of the hair are so dark that you can't see the hair at all.
Is there any techniques I can use so that I can make it look like the hair is slightly visible (even though that area is currently a solid black).
I purchased a big jpg file from an online stock image provider that has a collection of items (a collage of 200 fruits in this case). I now need to extract individual fruit images from this big collage. By using photoshop selection tools I was able to select all the individual fruits in the image and now want to create new individual png's for each of the selected fruits in the image. Is it possible to automatically create a layer for each of the individual selections so that I can use Script -> Export Layers To Files .I have been looking for a solution online but to no avail.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been developing a script that uses 2 selections saved in a PSD file and have created various files with the selections saved while testing things. I would select an area in a tif, choose Save Selection from the Select menu and the dialog that displays allows me to name the selection into a new document. Select an area in a 2nd document, do the same thing and the dialog defaults to the same file into which the previous selection was saved. Worked great, many times. Earlier, however, I was all of sudden unable to save the two selections into the same document. When I created the two selections in separate documents and dragged a channel from one document to the other (to create the 1 doc with the 2 selections) Photoshop would then not allow me to load selections at ALL. Now, everything seems to be working as it should! I don't THINK I've changed anything and some of the files I used unsuccessfully earlier just worked!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been working on a piece of work in photoshop which requires me to make numerous selections and save them. So far I have made 20, and it will not let me save any more unless I overwrite old ones. Is their a way of increasing the amount of selections that can be made, or a way of deleting the uneeded ones.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to figure out a way to add to a selection. What I mean is I draw a path with the pen and then save that and turn it into a selection and save that too. The problem is when I want to change the path of the selection using the pen tool it just gives me this funky path after the selection is made. When working on multible layers I need to use the same selection and due to the complexity of the object and impractibility of re-doing the whole selection again with the pen tool without the part of the layer that I don't want.
Would it be better to bring up the saved path, delete or move a few anchor points and resave the path? The problem with this is I believe it will discard the old path that I made first and I can't have that.
I have a selection and want to split it into 3 equal parts is there a photoshop technique I can use to do it automatically?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using CS3. when I am in a document (new or opened) I will make a selection and fill it. Even though I have 0 px for the Selection tool and 0.2 under Select/Modify/Feather, when I fill it it is feathered, quite a bit I might add. However, if I select the brush tool, make a few strokes with a hard brush somewhere, then make another selection and fill it, it's no longer feathered.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed CS2, and I can only use the eraser tool to erase if what I'm erasing is inside a selection. Otherwise I click and try to erase but nothing erases. Even when I drop selection (ctrl D) and there is NO selection, I still can not erase. I have to select all (ctrl a) in order to erase anything in the workspace.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Photoshop CS3 and am having trouble with selections.
Let's say I just created a new blank document at 1024x768 pixels. I create a new layer and make a new randomly sized selection with the Rectangular Marquee tool. I fill that selection with black and now have a simple black box on a simple white background.
I press Ctrl-T for the Transform tool and in the Width box on the toolbar I type 800px and press enter. Now I expect my black box to be 800px wide. But when I select it and click the Info tool I see that my box is in fact 799px wide. Sometimes I try to change it to 800px again and when I look at the info tool the box is now 801px! Why is this?
Second question.. when I fill a selection using alt-backspace I notice that the edges are feathered even though I have feathering set to 0. If I alt-backspace several more times I get a solid fill, but I'd like to only have to do it once. Where is this setting?

As you can see, after refining edge, I come up with an area of lighter hair. How can I correct this?
I have this picture, of course a jpeg, so the quality sucks, and i'm having problems selecting the two girls' hair. It blends into the background to where i almost have an impossible time seeing it at all but if i just cut it out it doesn't look natural anymore.
