There are some questions I have about screen redraw in CS4.
First off screen redraw without GPU acceleration is much slower than in CS3.
In the "advanced options" of the GPU settings there is the option "color matching".
If I turn it off I don`t have the option to softproof anymore. That is turning softproof on or off doesn`t change the colors anymore. If I turn it on, I can softproof again but I get banding in a black to white gradient. Slight, but noticable. To see the diffenrence that the settings make you have to close and open the document again.
I have both ImageReady and Photoshop but have never got the chance to actually tinker with any of them. Now, however, after seeing how much the programs can do, I really want to go serious with the programs. So I have a bunch of questions:
1. Photoshop, is it a generally easy program to learn?
2. Do you need to buy a book/tutorial or any of that stuff to really handle Photoshop or can you just tinker with the program and in a few months be able to handle it like a pro?
3. How do you add a border to an image using Photoshop?
4. How do you add letter or even a sentence in an image using photoshop?
1/ On a non-English keyboard, some shortcut keys like [, ] and ~ can only be reached through the AltGR tab, and are therefore useless. Is it possible in CS to make one's own shortcuts for brush size etc?
2/ Does the histogram tool live-update when one uses tools like Levels or Curves?
3/ Are we still met by that backwards compatibility popup when we save?
4/ Do the precise pointers for brushes still hide on greyish works, forcing one to press the spacebar to see where the cursor is?
5/ How well is 16 bits really implemented? Case: Can I, in 16 bits in CS, duplicate an RGB image, switch the copy to LAB, copy the lightness channel to the clipboard and paste this in the original in an alpha or a layer mask or on a new layer?
6/ Do all filters work in 16 bits mode, and if third party ones don't, do they still work in PS? Filters like KPT3 (remember the problems with 7), Xaostools, ..
1. How do I make my text into blocks, sort of 3D like (just by having black text color in the back of the existing text)?
2. I want to have mutiple lines in my text field, but everytime I press 'enter', it doesn't indent!
3. If I have a rectangular orange box, how do I make it go from dark orange to light orange (gradient)?
4. Can I turn sharp edges into rounded edges?
5. Is there anywhere where I can choose a border design? Like having dash lines for making my border.
6. How do I achieve the "fold" effect where a corner may be folded (like this example below
7. How do I make my text go diagnal?
I have noticed some annoying things about initial interaction with PS that I wanted some quick feedback on:
* I know PS can not use layered PNG. Is there any tool out there that can convert these to PSD with layers intact? I have a ton of old work that is in that format and will cry if I have to recreate everything.
* I noticed that the select tool is very picky in PS. If I am working on a layer or object, I can not select out of that object to activate another layer or object. I have to confirm changes (annoying pop up) and select the object or layer from the layer panel....EVERY TIME. Is there a way to change this behavior?
* The text tool is defaulted to show in PT. Is there a way to change this to default in pixels? I am using Photoshop for the web in most cases, not print.
* The status bar (bottom left in Mac) can show document dimensions, but it is always in inches. Can I change this to pixels?
1: How do I make a key/shortcut for 100% zoom (actual size)
2: Is Photoshop capable of showing boundaries of objects when hovering the mouse over them - so I know which ones will be selected).
With my new Wacom I'm really getting into more experimentation with brushes, which led to several questions I'm hoping you'll help with answers or clarifications.
1. Based on what I've read it appears that I can create any number of brush sets for myself using an existing set as a model. If this is correct then I'm assuming that I can create these setss for most used or any other category? Do I understand this correctly?
2. In creating the new brush set, I think I read that I need to "delete" the brushes in the set but that they will not really be deleted? Is that so or should I make a copy first?
My PS is starting to get a little out of control and I hope one of you guys can steer me in the right direction with this.
I do quite a bit of stuff in hi rez (300 dpi) switching back and forth between actual pixel view and fit on screen modes. Recently my "fit on screen" mode wants to keep getting bigger and bigger and no longer snaps back to the correct screen size. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
The other question should be pretty simple. I want to change the default blending options. Things like stroke, inner and outter glow color etc.
At the bottom of the document window, the information displayed seems to only be able to show one item, is it possible to show multiple items avoiding clicking on there to cycle through them all to see the information?
Why is my image showing 732K in the document information, but mousing over it while it is closed showing 69K. Am I misunderstanding the file reading size, i.e. 1048 bytes is 1mg?
Can you get certified on any version of photoshop or do you have to start at Photoshop 1.0? Once you're certified does your certificate "expire" ? Do you have to retake a test? If so how often?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm not well versed in color matching so I use an application called Color Wheel Expert to help me choose matching colors and what not. For awhile I've tried to figure out how I can accomplish the same sort of thing simply using Photshop's color Palette/Picker, but haven't been able to figure it out.
Is there a simple way to determine a color's complement, triad, etc while selecting a color? What about getting 'shades' of a particular color? I know you just add white to get shades, but how do you accomplish that inside the color picker?
I think I fully understand what levels are, and I no longer just mess with the sliders til I get what I want. I know what each does and how to use the ALT key modifyer to detect clipping. But I got some questions about other Photoshop (*choir sings*) features..
I don't understand what these are. Are they like levels for colors? I notice there is a Red, Green and Blue curve adjustment, but I'm not sure what it does and how to read the graph where I put dots and curves on to modify the Color Curve.
I am trying to create a web page with a header similar in shape to the one pictured below. I plan to use PS6/Image Ready to create the background and nav system , then slice it and add text w/tables and html. I've tried using the pen tool to draw the header, but then I can't fill it. Can anyone suggest a good tute or point me in the right direction?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a JPG image that I want to edit with photoshop 7. I know that if I edit directly the JPG image and save again as new JPG image, the quality of the new saved image will be degraded. Experienced user know that because JPG is a lossy format.
I want to retain the quality of the edited image. Then I heard that the TIFF format is a lossless format that support compression.
I am creating a quiz in edge with 10 levels - each level asks a question dealing with a particular topic for that level. To make it more challenging/random, I want to allow each level's question to pull from a pool of 2-3 possible questions for that particular level (rather than one general pool for all 10 questions).
I have created symbols out of each question - and played with a few randomizing options - but I am a tragically front-end designer
can i get some links to some really good slice tool tutorials?
View 1 Replies View Relatedhave played with Photoshop but never done any thing for the web, was wondering, how are slices saved and what makes the html code to use.When they are saved do they all have the same code or diferent codes? Keep it simple as you can, dont really understand this part.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to slice PSD slices that appear on top of eachother in a PSD? What I mean is, can I assign a slice for each layer - since in the PSD the layers all appear at the same x,y coordinates...
View 1 Replies View RelatedEverytime I create a slice in Imageready, its being saved as .jpeg and all other automatic slices are created as .gif.
How can I make sure that my slices are also saved as .gif.
I'm trying to move the slices from one psd to another, since I don't want to have to try and duplicate them by hand. (in imageready or pshop)
View 1 Replies View Related I'm trying to customize a website template that was made in Photoshop and has been sliced already. When I select slices and save them for the web, the webpage looks wrong when I open it in Dreamweaver. The text and/or images are basically cut off. I've tried moving different slices forward or backwards, but it hasn't helped.
I'm using Photoshop CS2 and Dreamweaver 8.
I did my layout with PS, make slices with ImageReady or Fireworks. Putting it all together in Dreamweaver is the problem. Making the second page, and so on is the problem. Becouse if I just import Fireworks Html there is no room for text or somethling elese if you unerstand me.
View 3 Replies View Relatedi have just sliced black box with rounded corners, hence i slice the four corners and used css to change the background color of the rest of the box - so as not to export square items (as css can do this with changing the color only).
The reason i am asking is that we are now in age of DSL and high speed internet so maybe i should have sliced the whole image rather than the four corners?
This is where i get a little confused, of course the way i do it works but is it correct?
I have also noticed some sites are using a "LARGE" background image in there CSS which contains content holders (with square corners) etc... which i think is great, but does the file size / speed suffer
Once i have sliced and exported my images is it better to always put the images in as background images (within divs) rather than images thenselves?
1) I'd like to center certain compotents of my image into sections of the frame. I'm trying to go about this by creating my sections with the slice tool. Then, for any objects within that slice, I select it, but then I'm at a loss. How do I center the objects within my selection, and for that matter, how to I tell it that I want it to be centered in the sliced section only?
2) I'm trying to draw simple lines with the Line Tool, but I get this huge arrow instead of a line. I don't want an arrow, and I only want it to be 1 pixel thick. How can I do this?
how i can get the slicing feature of PhotoShop CS2 to create CSS rules that use the 'background-image' syntax in the css rather than putting images in the XHTML page using non compliant <img> tags.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have downloaded a bunch of free web templates I found on the web.
Some of them contain an HTML document, and images, which are presumably the output to HTML of a sliced up psd file, as they also contain the full psd file when you download it. The odd thing is that the PSD file simply has NO slices
I have no idea why they would do this, but it makes taking a nice template and making slight modifications rather difficult, because it would require you reslice the psd file yourself. At that point, its almost useless to have the template at all.
Am I doing something wrong?
Here is an example of a template I download, that includes the html/images and the psd, but no slice information that I can find.
I use Adobe Photoshop CS2, Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and Macromedia Fireworks 8
how to slice my images in imageready.
But I have a problem - most of the slices are bordering another image. The bordered images have a dropshadow effect - and no background.
I'll be using a background image, so the slices need to be transparent - but I can't figure out how to achieve the effect.
I've tried multiple tutorials, i have everything "transparency" checked (to my knowledge).
I am working to export a photoshop image to a webpage. When I originally started slicing the image, everything worked great. Now when I want to make a new slice, it doesn't lock into the other ones I already made. So if I do not line up my new slice perfectly, I can accidentally creat 4 more slices that are barely visible. Is there anyway to turn on this 'locking' feature again so I can proceed?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a page of web art that I have sliced up. One section is a series of buttons. I have the different button states on different layers and I have created slices for each button and then duplicated the slices onto each layer so that every button state has a slice.
But...since the slices associated with a layer don't hide when you hide the layer, it's almost impossible to get at the underlying slices to name them and/or select them for output.
I inadvertently cleared the slices and need to get them back (file had been saved and session closed). I have another PSD file that has the slices layout I need but not the correct layers. I suppose I could just copy all the layers over but was wondering if there is a tool that allows you to save and restore the slices layout?
