am using PhotoShop for web development but mostly for digital photo manipulation.
I have found a couple of PNG files that I thought would transparent but were not. How can I transform an existing png file that has been used to modify the boarder of pictures for rough edges..... The png file is not transparent and has a lot of internal noise/distortion that keeps the "magic wand tool from being able to clear out the middle are in one fail swoop?
I have PSE 10. I'm trying to change a layout to customize my output. I'm the admin but I get the following error when trying to save a change. "You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact your admin for permission". I checked the file properties and the only box not checked is the special permissions which is grayed out. I see info saying this is how you modify the layouts but not sure why mine isn't accepting.Â
This script is supposed to open, modify, save, and close all files within a chosen folder.  There are a couple problems with the script The files are "legacy" .eps and .ai, so a save dialog pops up. I want to save the file and move on, suppressing dialogs if possibleOnly the first file is opened If I comment out the line inside the for loop that runs the convertToUncoated() function, all of the files will open. If there is a way to upload the test files I'll gladly do that.
I am using Coreldraw but in the past I have been able to create the following Macro to do the following
(1) open a file called C:ArtworkC67PSML.cdr (2) change the text in one field from "Recorded in Ireland" to "Recorded in China" (3) remove all guideline fields (4) export the cdr to pdf format and save as new file C:Artwork2C67PSML.pdf
But I would very much like to be able to run the macro on all CDR files in the c:/Artwork folder, how I could amend my code (shown below) to do this ?
Sub Rings() Dim doc1 As Document   Set doc1 = OpenDocument("C:ArtworkC67PSML.cdr")      Call TextTranslate   ActivePage.Layers("Guidelines").Editable = True   ActivePage.Layers("Guidelines").Shapes.All.CreateSelection   ActiveSelection.Delete   ActivePage.Layers("Guidelines").Activate     [Code] ......
I've recently installed AutoCAD LT 2007 on a new computer running Windws 7 64 bit. Â I've been able to modify/customize everything except my .pgp files. Â
I've found them under C:/Program Files (x86)/AutoCAD LT 2007/User Data Cache/Support/acadlt. Â Once I've gone through and made my changes, and attempt to "X" out of the dialog box, I'm prompted to "Save" changes. Â I choose "Save" and am then told the "acadlt.pgp already exists. Would you like to replace it?". Â I select "Yes", and am then told "Access Denied"...with none of my changes being saved.
I've learned about an "unsanctioned" workaround...running a "run as XP" patch, but I'm having trouble finding out details/feasability of this solution. Â Additionally, I'm curious if I go this route, will all my programs now run as if on XP?
I have some .gif files that I want to use on my website, but the colors of some elements in them need to be changed.
Is there a way to select all the elements in the .gif that are a particular color, and change them to another color?
Also, do I need to do anything to the .gif so that it will allow me to make those changes, ie unlock a level or one of those other things that always seem to confound me?
In previous versions, I could Select--->All, then Select--->Modify--->Contract, which is very useful for creating frames, vignettes, etc. In CS4, after Select--->All, all of the Modify options are ghosted out (inactive) except Border, which is not at all the same as Contract.
All Here is a close-up of a starry sky background of one of my photos created in CS3I want to 1) Reduce the sizes of the points of light2) Increase the luminosities of the centers of the points of light3) Sharpen the edges In other words make the stars smaller, brighter, and sharper WHILE MAINTAINING THEIR COLOR. I've tried the minimum filter, sharpening in a luminosity blending mode, and a couple more obvious techniques.
I've created a collection of patterns, obviously different one from other, but my problem is the icons of these patterns are so similar, very difficult to identify the exact one. Â My question is if it's possible to modify the miniature or icon of every pattern, so I can for example change the color or even write anything over. Â I've try the plugin "Pattern Maker", but this is not possible.
I've drawn a hollow ellipse shape (shape layer). I would like to remove the bottom half of the ellipse shape so that I am left with a parabola shape. Â I've tried creating two shape layers and combining them in such a way as to subtract out the bottom half of the original ellipse but I am obviously doing it wrong.
I would like to know how to automatically register the file with a partial modification is the name to prevent destroying the original file. Since i am working most of the time on one file at the time, i would like to be able to apply a script which provides the final touch and save the file in the same as well with a little modification in the name: Example:
IMG_4000 --> IMG_4000b
So it means that i do not go via the batch processor to change the name.
It seems that any picture saved in TIF format using Photoshop Elements 5.0 cannot later have the Summary section of its properties modified. I discovered this when trying to add comments to pictures after using Photoshop to modify them. Windows XP gives the following error message when you try to change anything in the Summary tab of the file's properties:
"Changes to Summary properties could not be saved; access has been denied.
The file may be marked read-only or may be in use by another application."
The file is not marked as read-only, and Photoshop is not open. Rebooting does not fix it. Even copying the file to another computer does not fix it. The error stays with the file. It should not be an issue with permissions, since I'm logged on as Administrator on both computers. It's not a problem with TIF files, since I can modify the Summary properties of TIF files that were created with other programs, for instance my scanner. And it doesn't happen with files saved by Photoshop in any format except TIF. Something Photoshop is doing when it saves a TIF file results in modification of the Summary properties being permanently disabled.
I'm scanning old family photos to digital format and use the lossless TIF format for the master copies, so using another format is not an option. But I want to be able to go back and add comments to the master copies as new facts about the people and places in the photos come to light. I can keep a separate text file for descriptions of the photos, of course, but that always runs the risk of the comments getting separated from the picture.
We need to know how to make a retangle, bend the lines and fill with color (dancing ants). If this product cannot do it whst will? Can I get a reduced price since I purchaed Adobe element 10?
In PS CS5 Extended latest version. I select all, then go to Select|Modify, and all choices are grayed out other than border. This is an 8 bit RGB image. The layer is selected. I also tried flattening it. I also tried creating a new image, RGB 8 bit depth. Also 16 bit. Nothing works. Â I double checked CS3 and this works in CS3, but not CS5.
Google suggests that there is no option other than to delete it and then redraw..

Is it possible to modify a rounded rectangles radius in Photoshop but I find this a big time waster as I'll then have to redo all the colors and strokes and all other changes i've made such as perspective and so on.
Mac OSX 10.7 PS CS5 Â The problem is that after using my select all, or using the marquee tool (tried both ways) to draw the selection my contract option is still grayed out it (like most everyone else has said). Only difference is, it was WORKING fine 30 min ago, I've used it many times while working on numerous documents and now all of the sudden it wont work on anything. I havn't made any changes to any prefs, but maybe I hit a hotkey and locked something? I remember when my define pattern was grayed out, I read a post where I clicked one simple option and voila it was back to normal...something with a spacebar shortcut I think?
Some tools I always use, some every once in a while, and some I never touch. Is there a way for me to rearrange the tools in the Tool Panel so my most used tools can sit next to each other? It would be nice to get rid of some of the tools too. I can always set a Hotkey if I really wanted to access them later.
When selecting an area I would like to modify/transform/reshape just that selection (the marching ants) without moving the underlying image.How do I do that?
I downloaded a resume & cover letter template and I am not able to figure out how to delete information and modify existing information to customize these documents.Â
how to modify the options in the save dialog?Every time I save a file and have to choose the file type, I have to scroll through obscure and obsolete file types. Sure, I might need someday to save Scitex CT, or Photoshop DCS, but the chances are very slim. Some people surely use PIXAR and TARGA, but I don't. What the hell is an IFF? If I ever need a Portable Bit Map (really?) file it would be great if I could find it in a user defineable option pull down. I can pretty well guarantee that the file types I need are PSD, TIFF, JPEG, PDF, PNG and once in a blue moon, GIF.
If you could modify attached background image so it would be more suitable for a repeating background image for a website? I have been already trying to do that by myself for hours (duplicating layers, flipping them horizontally/vertically, offset...), but how to realize that well. The main problem is that gradients and textures on borders are way to rough and it is really noticeable when so small background gets repeated for many times. On top of that, corners have dark shadows which make everything even more noticeable. Please note that attached image should be resized for about 3 times, I'm just posting original image which I have to work with.
I have a edu version of Adobe creative suite CS2. I tried to learn some text effects in online turtorial but I found that feather, modify, grow, similar, transform selection submenu are disabled in the select main menu. I would like to know why and how to make them enable.
