I called the local fire department and made an appointment to do a portrait of a Polish fire fighter in full regalia. I have the image. this is a two part question.
the first one on a technical note. My plan is to super impose him onto a blazing inferno, I am confident I can match the lighting well. The image is super high resolution and I have a lot of hopes pinnedon it to knock some socks off. The problem is (in terms of a super high quality Image, really want to stress that) the image is too clean. I want to smear soot and grease onto the image. is there any way to do that in a completely visible way.
second question. Where can i find the inferno image. I cant find a royalty free image anywhere that is impressive enough. By the way it should be from a distnance as the tongues of flame in a close up shot look unbelievable.
I can see myself getting progressively better and better at graphics. I'm starting to "THINK IN LAYERS", and using advanced photo editing effects in order to achieve what I'm lookin for.
My problem as of late is that, as SOON as I add text to images, it seems to ruin them. It could be the placement, font face, kerning, alignment, or just the fact that it's not sharp or smooth enough, depending on the size. Does anyone have tips for using fonts/text on an image. Have you found ways to get professional quality text, aside from the artistic aspect of it?
where we could load an image in to CS3 or CS4 with smart objects, soften the image with the slider in ACR, and edit in CS3 to remove the softening on the eyes, lips, hair etc. I tried to duplicate the trick at home but never could and now that I'm doing some portraits, I could really use that capability.
where I can find some Backdrops that I can add behind my pictures? I am wanting it to look like I had these pictures done in a pro studio. I have some good portraits but I don't like the backgrounds.
how to make a nice portrait backdrop? It's for the school yearbook and this kid was a jerk... and well we had to take his picture cuz we wouldn't go to a real photographer. So I need to put in a fake background.
see my screeenshot in Adobe CS6, Photoshop -- cropping an area in portrait size 2x3 and NOT landscape 3:2.
Why ignores PS this setting and shows me first a landscape area in 3:2 instead of the chosen portrait area in 2:3? Yes, I can rotate the selection via "x" -- but that's cumbersome.
I recently had a photoshoot where we used a bed sheet behind my family subject. In a particular picture, the bedsheet was below their heads and it's distracting. I want to extend the fabric to fill in the gap at the top.
I have a document with two pages, and each page is two pages wide.
The document needs to be four pages on top of one another, but I don't know how to convert the original. I know how to change landscape/portrait views in Preferences, but the document itself is two pages wide.
if I have a portrait photo and want to change it to a landscape photo. I used resize to change the the dimensions of the photo but the results make the photo a bit distored.
i have a lovely picture that is taken in landscape and i want to change it to portrait so i can print it and hang it. how do i do this with out losing qualtiy in the print.
How would I stitch two images together that are in portrait orientation so they display nicely in a slideshow template. My landscape images are sized to 1200 x 800 pixels which works very well with the slideshow template. I have Photoshop CS6.
I've bought a digital photo frame and need to crop hundreds of photos to 600x800 or 800x600 depending on the orientation. That is, I'd like to put landscape and portrait oriented photos in the same folder and batch process them. I know how to use the Image Processor (CS3) with a recorded Action to batch process a folder but I'm having trouble knowing how to create this action because of the orientation issue.
My first reaction was to use image/image size but can't get a single Action to work for both orientations. Any help would be much appreciated by me now and my mother at Christmas!
I loaded the photos into Iview Media Pro and forgot to save them as well as not saving to a CD or External hard drive. I cannot retrieve the photo on the cards. Is there any way to improve the quality of thumbnails in Iview to be able to be usable?
Photoshop is opening my landscape shots from my digital camera in portrait format. The thumbnail is landscape and Illustrator and all my other programs open it landscape.
I thought that I had saved some photos on my hard drive. I the did load the photos into Iview Media Pro so I do have the thumbnails. Is there anyway to improve the file to a usable size?
I am trying to correct a very old photograph that was taken in the 1930's time period. This is a picture of a soldier that has a very dark shadow from the sun on half of this face. How can I remove this shadow and have a natural look?
I have used the photoshop elements 11 for over a year now, and it works great. I have used the add glow settings in perfect portrait many many times. It always gave a bright and glowy image, but a few months ago that changed. I have never changed any of the settings, but one day when I used it it turned out all dark and grainy. The settings are the same, diffuse glow, so I don't understand why the sudden change? I have tried everything, but I can't get it back to normal.
I have several hundred small portrait photos of different size that I need to resize to a 120 x 120 pixels size. Currently they are not 1:1. I've previously used Picasa to resize images manually, and this gives me the opportunity of easily crop and resize so that the face is not cut or looks too small. But I need to do this in a batch since I have a huge amount of pictures. So far I haven't been able to figure out if Photoshop can detect the face automatically and crop/resize around it. The batch processes I have tried to create end up with the face/head being cut on several pictures.
When making a video with just images set to music, I want to use the pan & zoom feature, but cannot figure a way to rotate frames for portrait orientation images.
I have also tried using photomerge in CS5, and the same results occur. I used a stable tripod and made sure that both the camera and the tripod was level.
So, everything is working great in PS CC on my Surface Pro 2, except if i rotate my tablet to portrait mode.
The main window stops with a bunch of empty space below it. It will not stretch any further down than what you see. Also, looks like the ui on the top right is a bit cut off. I'd love to be able to use the full screen in portrait mode, but just haven't been able to figure out what the issue is. I'm running a fully updated Photoshop CC on an up to date Windows 8.1.
