I'm trying to take a photo and make the border of the picture appear to be torn all the way around. Like if you were to tear something out of the newspaper. Is there a filter or action that anyone knows of that will achieve this effect?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently reinstalled windows 7, and since then I've been having two problems with photoshop cs6.The first one is that whenever I make an action in the program like zooming, using the hand tool, making strokes with the brush, I get these black dots appearing and disappearing on the screen.They are like black pixels and appear at random locations.I actually had the same problem a couple of months ago and got the advice to install the 12.8 catalyst drivers for my ATI SAPPHIRE 7870, as they are the most stable.That fixed it and I haven't had the problem until now when I reinstalled my windows and it started happening again.The only difference is that installing the 12.8 drivers doesn't fix it anymore.I tried many driver versions 13.4, 13.5 beta, 12.10 and the problem stays.I know it's a GPU problem, because when I desable the GPU in Performance, it fixes it.The only solution that I have found for this problem is to put the drawing mode on Basic in Performance and that fixes it.So this is not the main issue at the moment, since as far as I know, I can just stay in Basic mode and it won't affect my digital drawing.
The second problem that I have is that, there is a ton of screen tearing when I move my image around, like using the hand tool and the rotate view tool especially.It's like not having Vsync turned on or something, but as there is no option like that in PS CS6, I can't control that.I tried turning off and on the different option in Performance and nothing fixes it.It's interesting that even when I turn off GPU ussage, the problem still stays, so maybe it's not a video card/driver problem.So bottom line: black dots- fixed it with switching to Basic drawing mode, would like to know if there are other ways to fix it; screen tearing when moving the canvas/ image.

Got some visual issues on the model space window in perspective view of the Objects/Models somehow gets tearing effects/ parts get invisible or gone missing, when playing around with it, whilst zooming, rotating, paning, moving while inside the perspective view window, this is not evident before in older 3ds max version we have used which is 2009, the model/object is correctly done, no open poly or anything with it or whatsoever....its just the viewing when you try to play around with the model that you see the tearing ups, this is quite frustrating coz you might think that the model is empty or missing its face or sides, or another part have gone thru the object....etc etc.

I have bad screen tearing in gimp 2.8 in windows 7 x64, making it almost unusable! (see youtube link: [URL] look around 15 seconds into the video )
i just reinstalled windows after using linux for a few months , gimp worked fine in linux (ubuntu x64) with the same hardware. i had the problem before in windows and i have it again with a fresh install
i have tried gimp 2.8.0, 2.8.2 and the same problem with the new one (2.8.4), same problem aswell with gimp 2.9 development builds. gimp 2.6 works fine with no screen tearing at all.

Did you get the driver from nvidia's Web site? Check for firmware anddriver updates first.Yes a bad move :P but i need to use some software that's not compatible with linux.
An obvious 'solution' is to install Linux as a VM under Virtualbox.

I tried the following in Illustrator,
So basically, I created coloured text inside Adobe Illustrator and however much I zoom into the text, the text always appears to have smooth edges. Once I click on 'Save For Web', the edge all around the text becomes rough and aliased. I chose GIF and PNG, but it still happens. The text is on a transparency background. The same problem applies to images when I am creating a logo.
I thought this was going to be a piece of cake in the new Illustrator CC but I am having a few unanticipated issues:)I need to create some vector tire images with different edges, such as the top one in the image below.So I thought this would be SO easy by simply creating a pattern brush in Illustrator and then using that for the outside. So I created the shape you see in the middle image below and created a pattern brush with this shape.I then created an ellipse and used the new brush for the outline.
All of those are open paths...it has taken the shape and applied it to the outline but has kept each shape separate, so I am not able to fill the circle in black. I could of course go in and manually join each little corner separately where the little shapes meet but this will take FOREVER with all the images I have to do.
I'm trying to snap a head with it's neck with the merge edge tool, but somewhere along the way, the edges lost there border edge characteristics and now I can't merge the edges. Is there a way to make the edges back to the way they were?

What about 3d edges to solid flat surfaces?
For example, a box or a folder:
In my photo retouching work I very often cut out a figure to place on a different background. Usually I have a feathered or aliased edge to blend with the new background which works nicely. Sometimes I duplicate that figure so that I can try some shading,cloning etc without damaging the layer below. If I like the results I usually merge the two layers, problem is the top image seems to grow a bit or darken on the edges and I lose any nice feathering I have dome on the bottom layer.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to avoid having a brush be cut off by the document edge when you place it? It's annoying when you want to move it that it's been cut off.
I know one way is to place it in the center when you stamp it, and then move it - but that doesn't work if the brush is larger than the document. Only other thought I had would be to stamp into a larger document and then move to the smaller document - but if I do that, I may as well just work with .png files.
I'm going through this tutorial: URL....On step 10 it says to go to Filter>Stylize>Glowing Edges......I can't find it there! Is it not in photoshop CS6? This is especially frustrating because this is one of the most important parts of the tutorial and I've been working on this for hours only to find that Glowing Edges is missing.I'm using the free 30-day trial.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIm trying to make some silhouette of objects.
I use the majic wand tool to get the shape and fill it in with a colour...
The end result is very jaggy... how i can make the edges smooth?
I've been using Photoshop CS5 to edit my photography for a while but have never bothered with masks until just recently. I watched this video and figured it would be fairly easy but I'm still having quite a bit of trouble getting results that look even halfway decent; I can never get the edges right. I've tried playing around with all the "Refine Edge" settings but nothing really makes it look realistic and un-manipulated, so I figured I'd ask here in case I'm missing something or doing something wrong.
To start out with I figured I'd try replacing the background of one of my photos with the background in another one of my photos, in this case some snowy branches. Here's a screen shot of the original photo (with the birds/foreground roughly selected with the Quick Selection tool):
And here it is after making that selection into a mask:
As you can see, some big chunks of three of the birds are missing and the edges are pretty obvious in a lot of spots. This is ultimately what I'm trying to fix.
A bit off topic, but also problematic are the gaps around the birds' legs where the red in the background shows through...not exactly sure what to do about those. In addition, I find the stripped, broken end of the branch sticking up in the middle of the picture to be a pretty big eyesore but haven't found a convincing way of removing it.
Anyway, here's a closer look at the edges:
When I check "Smart Radius" and increase the Radius size to about 40 pixels I get something resembling this:
...which is not really an improvement over the original IMO. I also tried painting in the radius manually along the edges of the bird's head using the Refine Radius tool but this only created more fuzziness around the edges. Increasing the "Shift Edge" value created even more fuzz. Using the Erase Refinements tool made the edges too sharp and bits of the bird started disappearing again, making it look similar to how it was originally.
Here's another example of the same thing on the outline of the third bird in the picture:
How it looked originally and...
...how it looked after messing around with the radius/refine radius tool. It's a slight improvement over the original but bits of the bird are still missing and there's that fuzz around the edges that I don't know how to get rid of.
By the way, here's a download link to the full-size original two photos in a zip file: Background and Foreground.zip
Is there any way to get an application of a brush with Wet Edges to absorb seemlessly into a previously applied area of the brush with Wet Edges? As far as I can see, if you paint a bit, say in Pattern mode, stop painting, and then start to apply the brush again, the paint visibly overlaps the previously applied colour. This makes it impossible to easily create brushed watercolour washes without keeping your brush in contact with the paper (in my case a digital tablet) all the time; if you lift it off for a second, it applies a new coat of paint (or pattern) over whatever is there already. What I'd like is to be able to get a wet edges brush to meld seamlessly into a previously applied area of paint (or pattern).
Is this possible to achieve, please?
I was trying to turn a photograph into a pencil sketch. When I attempted to go:
Filter>Styalize>Glowing Edges, I find that Glowing Edges is de-selected and, therefore, is unavailable.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a high quality but small jpg picture that I need to put onto my website, the background colour is blue.
I want to blur all 4 edges of the picture so when I put it on the website page the background shows through with a nice faded effect into full opacity of the picture in the centre of the image.
I'm sure its pretty straightforward, but I can't work it out. I played around with the marquee tool but couldn't delete the outer edges like I had hoped.
I'm pretty sure it will need to become a .png of .gif to show the transparency but I'm worried about the quality then too.
I'm trying to make the edges sharp, when I use the Rectangle tool there is a 1px line on the edges which I think is suppose to blend the image to the background, but I don't want this 1px line, I want the edges to be sharp. How do I switch this off.
Using CS2, and I'm sure this is a default setting because I remember reading something about it in the book but now I can't find it.

the thing is i like this type of blending: photo blending type on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
but can't seem to replicate it with my own photos.

Anyone with any suggestions on how to replicate this blending type ....
