View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to master cutting out people from backgrounds (especially backgrounds which are a bit complicated - not solid colours). I know there are a number of ways and a number of tools to use, but which is best? The pen tool is great for smooth clean lines, but I struggle with hair and fur on objects. I know there is a more professional way of doing cut outs using Channels and curves and creating a mask.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been using images for my 3D plant models. Many times the leaf has to be cut out from the background. Through painting black and white areas and then removing the black with a layer mask, then left with the leaf.
Many times I get white or a bad outline around the leaf. Not sure if it's from over exposure with the black and white levels before using the mask or just a slightly poor image(or both).
Is it normal practice to do edging by hand manually on these textures for a crisp outline. Or is there just something I'm not doing right.an auto way of outlining the image and edging it somehow??
I am trying to print a sunset with cacti and I get a very very green cast on epson r2000. I only get it on the printout and not on the screen. I have the print color management for the right paper etc. ICM is on . I have tried epson vivid and epson rgb, same green unuseable cast. Perceptual vs relative doesn't work. I am new to lightroom. Got it mainly for softproofing and raw processing. OS is windows vista 32 bit I do not get this in pse 11.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm using PSP 8. What is the easiest way to place call outs, if that's the right term?
Ideally I'd like to be able to select a rounded, shadowed rectangle with the arrow appropriately positioned (top, bottom, left, right) and of adjustable length, insert the text (typically a single letter or number), and then be able to group these so that I could drag the callout into the required position. I might need to place 10 or 20 on each of several maps, so it needs to be very simple and fast.
I've never properly used 'Picture Tubes' although I have a feeling that would be one way to achieve this. But the images built in to PSP 8 do not include any callouts. Maybe it's best done from first principles, making a set of shapes first and saving them (in empty form) as individual files, positioning them and then finally adding the letter/number separately?
I'm starting my course at University in September and they have issued all the students with a summer project which is to design a T-Shirt. That's great and I can't wait to get cracking, but I want to print my design onto the T-Shirt using transfer paper.
The problem is my printers quality won't develop an effective result and it's too small for what I'm printing, so I would like to know if there are any websites I can use to upload my images to and choose what kind of material it could be printed on (transfer paper in this case) and choose the specific size of the material (e.g. A1-A4 etc).
I have a rectangular chute, tapering in width and height, and intersecting, at an angle, with a round duct. I can't seem to find a way to determine the cut-out in the round duct.
Because the chute tapers projecting the size onto a flat plane to then project onto the round duct doesn't work.
I am photographing and cataloging the paintings and drawings of an artist. There are over 3,000 of them. LR is such a good database that I am hoping I can use just that and add the details into the IPTC data - Title, Medium, Date created, Size, Price, whether sold and to whom, and - crucially - which shelf in the artist's store building they are located.
My idea was to use SlideShow Pro to publish the catalog to the web for dealers to browse, and my experiments show this would work very well, with IPTC data available on mouse-over.
I also need to produce a catalog with images and info for the artist's assistant so that she could quickly locate a requested painting on the correct shelf. Again this seems feasible up to a point as it is possible to print out the photos with IPTC information.
BUT - and here is my problem: I do not want all the info that the artist's assistant needs in the catalog to be available on the public slideshow, so have put different bits of info into different IPTC sections. But then I come across the limitation of printing in LR - only one section of IPTC info is allowed.
As it is I am at the moment also entering the info into a database (File maker Pro). I find on a good day with the wind behind me I can crop and adjust and catalog about 30 paintings an hour in LR. Also adding the info to File maker nearly doubles that. And more importantly it will be clunky and prone to error to have to alter or add to two separate databases in the future.
Is there an easy way to remove all the wipeouts in a drawing without deleting the entities they are attached to?

View 5 Replies View RelatedFor a number of documents I inherited from someone else, I'm having trouble expanding layers. The topmost layers appear, show proper thumbnails, and are named appropriately. However, there is no little "disclosure triangle" or whatever that thing is called that allows you to expand the layer and see sublayers and items. I've tried duplicating this behavior with other documents and with a new document, but the problem only occurs with these certain files.
The files were created in v13 of AI, and I'm using v17 (CC) to open them.
If this is some sort of bug? I tried using "Locate Object" to force the layer expansion, to no avail. I also tried "Release to Layers" commands, also to no avail.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a sign. I started from a font, then converted the text to a shape to provide the sign maker with vector art.
Some of the lettering is metal-like mounted on a dark acrylic backing that 's supposed to create a 3D stroke-like effect. In the original design I actually had a stroke on the lettering to mock up the effect. But now, in order to seperately cut the letters and the backing, the sign maker needs vector art for both the metal-like lettering AND the backing pieces, which extend another 1/8" beyond the metal-like in every direction.
I duplicated that shape to create the background. The background needs to be 1/8" bigger in EVERY direction, so that when the metal-like letter is mounted on top of it, the brown background will create a stroke effect:
I need to grow every border of this brown B by the same amount--the exterior as well as the 2 interior edges--so that when the yellow B (above) is placed on top of it, the brown shows a 1/8 "stroke" around the yellow B. I tried doing a straight transform, but that doesn't achieve the desired result. Another poster in the forum (answering a similar question) suggested using Modify > Expand, but I can't get that to work (the command is greyed out for some reason).
I have several *.jpg product drawings to which I want to add text (e.g., product name). I open the image and the image drawing fills the space (canvas?). I want to 'pull down' the bottom border to allow inclusion of text.

However, it is quite small, and I would like to expand the grey background until it is much bigger.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question about expanding appearance and multiply. I work in print-on-demand, and one of the limitations is that we can not use multiply on artwork. In order to achieve a similar appearance, when I receive these kinds of files, I flatten transparency, and that will sear in the way the multiply effect is interacting with the other elements of the same art file. (in the example below there are no interacting elements) However, if it is intended to interact with the background, I have to fiddle with the cmyk values (adding k) and opacity level until it is as close as possible. It is time-consuming.
we use 'expand appearnce' instead, and I tried it once and it worked! It did all the legwork for me; it spit out a different cmyk value and opacity level that mimics the effect of multiply, so I don't have to calculate it manually. However, I can't get it to work again. Illustrator thinks it is already its simplest form of appearance and will not expand it further. I've tried adding another effect and expanding but it will only expand the effect and keep the multiply.
Maybe she and I were both tripping when we thought it worked once? how to expand the appearance of multiply? Here's a picture of the 3 methods I'm speaking to: on the left is multiply, the center is flattened transparency, and the right is achieving a similar effect of multiply with opacity & color build.
My lightroom WAS working perfectly - I have not been able to expand the export menu (to view the other options such as resizing and whatnot) I am completely NEW to lightroom so I am wondering if I did something to screw it up but i did a full reinstall and it still isn't working the arrows show up along the side to expand it - but it will not expand?
