I'm creating an image for a client and he specifically requested the color 226m pantone matte. So basically I highlighted the logo, went to channels and created a spotcolor channel with the 226m. I then filled the channel with the shape of the logo. Now, the logo is placed over some other image, but now it seems kinda of transparent using the spot channel. So basically, what is the best way to show a spot color on the image? I tried saving the picture using Save For Web, but the logo came out grey.
With both tools, I can make a few changes and then both will leave a black brush spot. It works, and then it is like the program is too challenged & it just leaves a black spot. Sometimes if I move my mouse to the history panel to back up to get rid of the black spot I get a swipe of the tool all across the image when I'm reaching with the mouse to go back in history.
I have placed a photoshop file in illustrator CS, the file contains a spot channel transparency that I want to print as a pantone plate. When I print separations my spot channel prints as a shade of grey. Several other vector items (generated in illustrator) using the same pantone print as a solid 100% black. I'm worried that my file will print with the transparency part of my pantone as a shade of its self when I send the files to the printer.
I've used Lightroom 3, 4 and now 5 so I know my way around the software pretty well. Never had an issue like this in previous LR versions. Basically, when I Spot Edit a spot (such as a speck of dust that was on the sensor or lens) there is alway s a "ghost" of the speck that remains, no matter what I do. The Opacity is set to 100, yet the tool behaves as if it is set to 90. It happens with Clone and Heal. I have also tried adjusting the Feather setting, to no avail.
I've got LR4 and a bunch of photos with 3 nasty dust marks.Spot Removal does not allow to mark one of these spots (the pointer does not turn into the marking circle).Probably LR cannot see it as needing repair.
Now I want to color it in like the original tux, you know? that glassy look.
I want to do it in photoshop, but I cant figure it out how to color it correctly. Also if I export it out of flash as an .png and import it into photoshop the quality is all f*cked up...
I've got a black and white photo and a paragraph of text in a layer over the photo. The text is currently black, but of course when it hits the sections of the photo that are black, you can't see the text. So, I need to get the text to switch to being white at those point. I know I could probably just go in a change it at the proper points, but I don't wanna do that! It's a lot of text and it's a script font so parts of the letter fall at different points in the picture. We thought using the exclusion layer style would work, but it doesn't. Anybody have any suggestions?

used various tehniques for doing her colouring, the main one being builing up colour with the air brush using separate layers for each colour. Using this method, she is doing all her highlights and shading using additional airbrushed layers with lighter of darker shades as necessary. Whilst this produces some great results, things always tend to look a little airbrushed and soft.
how can produce textures such as cloths etc?
I have tried using the texturiser etc but they don't look any good cos the textures are uniform and don't follow the shape of the image.
I open a photo with Photoshop and then added a New Fill Layer. I want to put a colored layer over my picture and then turn the Opicity to about 25% to give the picture a neat colored effect but the solid layer color is always GREY no matter what I do. I can change it over and over and it reverts to gray.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could assist me and tell me how I can change the fill color layer and why it is locked gray.
I want to make it so that the color on the walls also matches the lighting.
I tried duplicating the photo as photo2 , and adjusting the hue/saturation of photo1 to match the wallpaper color, and then erasing the walls on photo2.
How can I color over a black and white image without losing what's originally there (lines, texture, etc)? Usually when I color it's using my own lineart, which I just put as the top layer so it doesn't get in the way.
I have a digital image of a geological map in black and white. The geological units appear as closed areas and the identity of the unit type is given only as a number. How can I color the map according to geological unit using PS2, with the coloring acccurately following the internal boundary of each unit? Some combination of magic wand and replace color commands??
I have used photoshop for years but never really gotten good with it. Ive decided to try to color some of my friends drawings, So far I have scanned the line art in using the black and white option. Turned it to grayscale deleted the white, and converted it to RGB. What I need to do next is have the lines redone so that when i do selections it only selects the portion of the comic that i want to color(there small gaps between many of the lines). One tutorial said to "trace" it using the brush tool, my hand is no where near steady enough to do this effectively. My goal is to get the comic to the point where it can be quickly colored.
i wanted to make a planet in space, so i rendered > difference clouds, and burned it and such to give it a space look. i then created a new layer and made a teal colored circle for the planet in the center. Now this is the step i have trouble on. When i go to burn it some to give it a 3D look and show that theres a light source, it burns the background space layer too. i don't want it to burn both. i would just like it to burn the planet and leave the background "space" alone and not change it at all, i've done it before but i don't remember.....
Ok so as of right now, I have an image with a Black background color with a blurred and vectored White design over it. I want to change the White design into another color. When I use the bucket tool to fill in the white design with say.. Blue, some of the design becomes blocky blue and loses some of its edges.
When I use the "color" brush, the edges and interior part of the White design are colored in blue fine, but I end up coloring over the edges because the design isn't selected with the lasso tool or Marque tool. And even if I selected the design with the previous mentioned tools, the edges would be cut off, leaving me with a colored interior of blue, and some exterior white on the design. So I'm wondering how I would color my design, as if it were originally that chosen color.
I have created many coloring book pages from photos via my personalization business and it has always worked. Used "sketch - photocopy" then cleaned up the image a little. Now for some reason this is not working. When I do these exact same steps it has a dark blue background and just doesn't work. I have an order for 10 personalized coloring books for party favors and I just can't get it to work. I have Photoshop CS3.
I am using Windows 7, I have Photoshop CS5.5 and am improving a bit in my digital illustration/coloring. I was experimenting with organization by using layer groups. When I did this and began to work on the colors, I noticed them behaving very poorly. For one thing, they always came out brighter than I intended. No matter how I tried to darken the colors, they always either fixed to a certain tint or just got brighter when I tried to darken them.
I noticed them interacting with the colors on all of the other layers, even with layers outside of the group. So to get around that I tried erasing wherever colors overlapped. This did not work, it only removed the mixing of colors, I still have really bright colors on everything I paint. I did notice though that when outside of a layer group, all of the colors behaved normally! Yes I know I can just keep the colors out of the group folder to fix the problem, Why do the colors misbehave within layer groups? Why do they respond with a transparent nature(for lack of a better term)? And is there a way around that?
I did check the opacity of everything and everything was at 100%. I did check the blending mode of the group and the individual layers, I had them all set to normal.
I have a stock picture of my girlfriend and I would like to colour her hair, eyebrows and eyelashes in a close up picture. She has dark brown hair, what would be suggestions on the easiest way to go about colouring this.
I was wondering how to achieve this colouring effect in Photoshop. I tried to play around with curves and so on, but since I'm not very good at it, the results are lacking.
