Photoshop :: Scan Newspaper Article W/ Text And Pictures?
Aug 17, 2009
what if I scan a article which has both pictures & text? Can I use descreen for only the picture part or do I have to scan the whole article without descreen and afterwards find a way to deal with the moire effect? Or what is the best way to do it?
And then some random Qs:
I'm not anyway professional, I just have some articles I want to scan and make a scrapbook. Is InDesign best tool for creating the digital scrapbook when I also want to print it for some of my friends? Or are there some better tools?
From what I read, did I understand right that 300dpi is enough for my pictures/text scans (like I said I also wanna make a printed version of my scrapbook)?

I scanned it in 3 scans at 300 dpi and pieced it together in photoshop...
Now I want to be able to put it on my website, with the text readable of
course. So what would be my best approach here.. a pdf might be okay, but it's also nice for the web user not to have to view a pdf file especially if they do not have the reader ...

I am trying to blend cut up pieces of a newspaper type thing into a person's face. I want the text to be visible, but not overt and blended into the skin. Any idea how to get this effect? I had tried by cloning the face and sticking the text between the two layers, which kinda worked, but i want a more "collage" kind of effect.

I am trying to place pictures into my paragraph text so that the text wraps around the picture (like you can in Word).? Can anyone let me know how to do this in Photoshop 7.0 for Windows??
All I can find is how to wrap text around object (i.e. word on a coffee cup image itself) or putting the actual picture as fill for the font.?
how to do this? I have included a PDF of a sample of what I'm trying to do.

way to make a text animation in Image Ready. I'd like to have white or bright green text against a black background and have it display as if it was being scanned over. One wide stripe moving right to left exposing the text underneath then moving back, never exposing the whole word at once, just a section. I had thought I could make a black layer over the top of the text, clear away a scection and manually move the layer in IR, but to no avail. Sorry I don't have a visual example of it for you.

I get my little red flag, for unread replies, or initial posts. These go away, as usual, when I read that post. Now the difference: In all other Adobe forums, when there are new replies, and I open up the thread, a little "New" with a yellow shape behind appears. The displayed format is always the last "viewed" reply, with no "New," and then the "New" replies with the yellow shape. If there are more, than can be displayed, I get the "More," at the bottom, just like the other forums. It's the lack of the "New," that odd.
In my case, I'm on IE 7.0.570.

I'm working with Adobe to analyze the kb articles that ship with a product release and make recommendations for improvements. I'm wondering if any of you have kb articles that you regularly refer to or find particularly useful. Conversely, are there particular topic areas where you'd like to see more or different kb articles? Any general recommendations for improvements would also be appreciated. In case kb article doesn't sound familar, they are also known as technotes, kb docs, or knowledgebase documents.

I received a TIF image with 5 pages built in to the single image. When I open it in PS CS it does this Pixel Aspect Ratio thing. Which seems to be fine, but I can't figure out how to view the other pages in the TIF. Since Adobe (I think), owns the TIF format as well as PSD, I assume PS has a function to not only SEE and EDIT multi-page TIF files, but also CREATE them.
So Question 1 is, how do I handle multi-page TIF documents? For reading, editing and creating them? A tutorial or help page or another site, whatever is fastest for you guys. I can't find the functions. Or recommend another app to turn 5 TIFs into a SINGLE document would be fine also.
-------------------
Second question is. I have an older scanner that is on it's way out. I have black and white text documents I need to scan and sign and E-mail. Problem is, my scanner WON'T scan in black and white! The page either comes out blank white or as black and white stripes. I CAN scan as a color, or greyscale image.
Now then, let's say I scan this doc as greyscale, as a JPG.
I open the JPG file in PS. Now the page is not B/W to begin with. The whole of the document has an off-white Grey hue to it. I want to make sure it has solid text (no gradients) because the original multi-page TIF is this way. And I want the background to be solid white and text solid black. When it first comes into PS it is greyscale with gradients on the text and a non-white color across the whole image.
How can I convert this to B/W and have good looking black text on white? Plus how do I take these five scans after converting them, and turn them back into a multi-page TIF like the original?
The other thing to note is, that I am amazed about. The original 5page TIF is only 134KB. But even with all my editing I can get as low as a single, ONE page TIF at 80KB. How in the world did they compress so far and still look so nice with so many pages!
I am hoping to edit these docs, convert to b/w and put back in a 5 page TIF, and not be far off from the original file size.
-----------------
What I have tried to far is messing with the "Mode". Changing to duotone and other stuff in that menu. I've used magic eraser to try to remove the background (but still looks like crap in and around fonts).
I've used the hue/saturation tools but that doesn't leave crisp lettering.
I can accept "some" baddies around the fonts. Seeing as how it is scanned. But one of my attempts produces pretty nasty looking fonts! Like so:
This is 516% zoom. You can see "something" needs to change to make this clearer. And artifacts still show up here and there as black dots around the document. Somehow I got it to be b/w.

i have a few scans of documents which are 20-30 years old. Some text on this documents is written on a typewriter. Now im trying to make this text to be more clear in relation to the background.
I tried to to this using Curves and Levels. The text is getting darker as i want it, but also the background changes which is what i dont want, because if i do this on a rectangular selection it is visible. Curves is quite ok, but it still changes the background to much in my opinion. Is there a way only to make the text more black without changing the background much? You can view the original text and my tries here i full resolution here:

I know the effect I want to go with for my project. Looking to create an older newspaper style clipping. Taking the picture placing it with text with the newspaper font, and making it look like an old news paper article. The yellow fade around the edges. I think I can figure out most of it, but to get that printed on old news paper effect is what I am striving for.

I want to do, without scanning, something that could be found as a ripped out newspaper piece. Now the rip and the text I get, but in gods name, I don't seem to be able to do the paper itself so it looks "real", newspaper-like...

I need to manipulate digital newspaper clippings from the early 1900's in order to enlarge and create a readable hard copy. The pdf's that i am getting from the NYTimes are often miniscule - like microfilm. They are always a PDF and I am looking for the most efficient way to create (multi-page okay) readable copies.

I scanned a color image from a newspaper, so of course it's pretty grainy. I've done things like despeckle, which helped a bit, and some other filters to get rid of noise and such but I was wondering if anyone had any useful tips for improving newspaper images? (i.e., get rid of the grainy look from the high dot content, just make it look cleaner)

I am working on a big project that involves black and white photography for newspapers. I haven't had any experience with using line screens over my images and am wondering how to do them correctly. I tried help in Photoshop but I didn't have very good results with the Bitmap and then 85 line screen setting. Everything looked very noisy (worse than a printed newspaper) when I printed the file out.

There are always questions on the subject...
6. The Big Picture in Photoshop
Sometimes figuring out proper resolution is tantamount to
solving an algebra problem: "If source resolution is a, and
output resolution is b, then the resolution multiplier c is
. ." The basic rule of thumb is to take the picture at the
highest resolution possible so that you have plenty of
pixels to work with when resizing your image. But come on:
Thanks to multi-megapixel digital cameras, you can easily be
carting around hundreds of megabytes of images at a time.
There's got to be a way to up-sample images to larger sizes
without compromising quality. Gregory Georges, author of "50
Fast Photoshop CS Techniques," shares his tips.
"With all those choices, the multi-million-dollar question
remains: How should you increase the size of an image
without causing unacceptable image degradation? There are
many answers (and opinions) to that question and in my
opinion, each good answer always starts with 'it depends.'
How far you can 'res-up' an image depends on a number of
image characteristics and how critical it is to have a
sharp, in-focus image instead of one with the dreaded (or
sometimes desirable) pixelization or softness that comes
from adding pixels in places where there were previously no
pixels."

I hope I can get this explained where it can be understood. I create and box with an outline of 4pt's. Then I want to snap the outline to the very edge of the outline and the guide, but it does not work this way. when the box snapped to the guide it goes to the middle of the outline. How to get this corrected or changed?

I do a little wedding photography and like to give the married couple a disc with all the un-edited pictures of the day for them to choose in the comfort of their own homes. The problem is i want to put text layer written 'SAMPLE' across each picture and then flatten each one before saving it to stop any editing on their behalf. Do i really have to go through this for each one (usually over 100 pics) or is there a quicker route or even alternative to this?

Is there a way to clean up an old newspaper picture in corel?
I'm not that good working with images i'm more of a vector man but I have been playing around with it but the results are not great.
The image itself is a typical grayscale newspaper image with halftoning and its gone a bit yellow over the years, all I want to do is get rid of the yellow and brighten it up a bit.

I am planning to do a report on a subject of 2 countries Thailand and China. I have found a nice image with nice font on the internet and I wish to do it in the same manner but do not know how(especially concerned about curved text and flag pattern). Here is a picture I want to recreate but with another background and different text.
The font has already been identified as Falkner Pro (RMU) on myfont.

I am trying to create a document in Word that has "boxes" of text, peripheral to the main content, scattered through the text body. First, I want these areas of text to be circles and I want the text to wrap around them like it does the ovals you can create with the Word drawing tools.
The next thing I want is for the text inside these areas to conform to the internal shape of the circle.
My 1st problem is that any circle I create in photoshop, when inserted into the word document, has a square bounding box that the text wraps to. I can't seem to figure out how to save the photoshop picture so that it only contains the circular graphic, although I don't know if it is photoshop applying the square background or Word when I import the picture.
My 2nd problem is trying to fit the text within the graphic so that it fills it, wrapping to the inside border without manually adjusting every line and word. If there is some automated step I can use to achieve this I would love to know what it is.

lets say i have a picture. I want to add text to it so it fits right into the background rather than having an artificial white border around the text. How do i do that?
Also, how do i remove text without deleting parts of the background as well, and how do i enter text so that it matches the text that is used in the picture?
Lets say i have a picture with the word "TEST" in it, with a certain font, size, color, etc. I want to add additional text with the exact same font, size, etc.

Yesterday I installed Photoshop Elements 11 and everything worked great except I was unable to add text to pictures. This morning however the quick, guided, and expert toolbar is gone and I am only able to edit pictures in the quick mode. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled and that did not work.

I just downloaded the program from a CD and when I open it the text in the program appears pixelated (not sure if this is a real word). This also happens when I open a picture in the program making it very difficult to edit.
