[vapid flume]

colour mixer and/or colour grading when you want to correct the tone of specific colour (red more saturated, less yellows in the highlights, darker blue for example)

Well you ask for help and you barely answer, did you get what I told you done?

There isn't so much as a thank you or an acknolegment of anything

[surreal current]

I did this

what about the other panels? should I use them?

for examples "effects"

[hasty scroll]

Thank you Ma'am

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume

[hasty scroll]

but I still need help

[vapid flume]

Basically, once your colour nalance is right then it's up to you with the rest, just make it pleasing.
I genuinely cannot go through everything you can do with ACR, but I gave you the basic panels to work on.
After that, what I suggest is for you to keep a PSD version of that, when you're happy, and work on either a second duplicate layer for the crazier things, or an entirely new duplicate file. I know ACR keeps all your edits, but if you close the file it won't keep them retro-actively (that why it's slightly different than Lightroom in that regard)

[vapid flume]

Where are you at with the step by step I gave you?
Have you managed to group the layers and select again?

[hasty scroll]

the steps aren't working for me unfortunately

[vapid flume]

where are you stumbling?

you need to be more precise...

are you still struggling with the magic wand?

I will need to go soon anyway, if you want help, feel free to tell me where you are at

[hasty scroll]

I'm at the selection

[vapid flume]

have you managed to select the right area? (you know you can make posts that are longer than one sentence, right?)

@surreal current just in case
https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/camera-raw/using/make-color-tonal-adjustments-camera.html
always helps!

[hasty scroll]

I'm insude the group

[vapid flume]

I don't see a selection, stay there in that layer but select your screen with the magic wand. When you're done, go on top and select the whole group. You will still see that selection on the screen

[surreal current]

sorry I was cooking

[vapid flume]

Sorry, select a layer with the screen on, there is nothing to slect on the layer you're in

[surreal current]

ok, I'm heading for it

[vapid flume]

select the layer with the screen first and then select with the magic wand

that would be presumably in the "phone group" I suppose

I really need to go so hurry up please

OK, I'll will just go through the steps again as I feel I won't be able to finish then
1- select a layer with the screen on
2- click with the magic wand on the screen
3- slelect the whole group by clicking on the top bar that says "group 1"
4- when done, hold ALT and click on the mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel
5- Save as PNG

I leaving now

Bye

[surreal current]

Bye

[rapid obsidian]

how much you came so far

whats current result

[surreal current]

I'm still studying it

anyways I may also continue your advice in my other version if you want to

[rapid obsidian]

is this close enough?

[surreal current]

wow

did you edit it??

[rapid obsidian]

ye

[surreal current]

oh thank you so much for your help

i'm checking

[rapid obsidian]

there is always place for improvement. just you need to decide what suits you and what you think is complete.

[surreal current]

that seems great

i would just like to view it at full version, to see for example the lightning on the streets

I think that the thing I like the most in the reference image is the contrast with shadows

these

it almost looks like 3D

[rapid obsidian]

the shadow on road?

[surreal current]

(rendering)

yes

is there a chance that you give me the psd file?

[rapid obsidian]

it is only 10 mb for me. idk why it was 300 mb for you

So i guess you continue from here?

i will close project .?

alright i am closing.

[surreal current]

that is because the image resolution is wayyy lower, mine was 5k, yours is less than 720p

sorry

I wasn't pinged by your reply

Yes I am

thank you very much

hopefully your work is composed of dynamic filters so that I can use them for full quality images

[river otter]

can i ask a question about lightroom here

[rapid obsidian]

I got it in low quality because it was a screenshot

But you can change it to any canvas

And any image.

There is no mask ,nothing.

It would have be wayy easier to edit everything with masking the desired area.
But because i can not mask anything. It was hard decision to change values. @surreal current

[rapid obsidian]

Yes

[river otter]

okayy thanks

so basically is there a way to not get another dng generated when i use ai denoise

[rapid obsidian]

Png?

[river otter]

nono dng

[rapid obsidian]

I never lightroom actually so we can just try.

[river otter]

any way for it to just not be saved as a new one

[sinful sky]

Hello! I have a friend that has asked me to make a graphic similar to this image below, I don’t know how to (if it’s even possible) to do the coloring of the text, does anyone have any ideas on how the coloring where it goes pink purple magenta and then repeats was done? @ me on response please TYIA

I want to do a reddish color palette instead of purple

[visual falcon]

this isnt my text

its just copied off

from an image

[serene coral]

The method is the same. Type your text with the font you found and clip the gradient layer to the text layer

[serene coral]

It's done manually. I'd go with each letter on a separate text layer, group them all and apply stroke layer style to the group

[sinful sky]

Ok ty

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @serene coral

[rapid obsidian]

You can select white only. After selecting layer, go to Selection>Color range, Pick white wall. And drag fuziness accordingly. Then you can mask selection. And adjust it. Also, Duplicate 13 times and merge layers if the opacity of effect seem low.

[storm pumice]

lmao wtf is this

[spiral isle]

how can i make it not so sharp and more like its dissolving in the bottom

[rapid obsidian]

Method 1) Select this layer. The add mask to it (there is maskn icon at bottom right, rectangle with empty circle). It will add layer mask. Then select layer mask, and pick Gradient tool from toolbar. Then make sure it is default black white gradient. Then click below the model, and second click on the model. You will see it will create a fade.
You can always change or remove it later.

2)If you don't care about changing it later.
Just pick gradient tool and point it by clicking on background then on person. It will work because background is white.

3. Just use eraser and set it to soft round by right clicking. Increase its brush size to very high value. And erase the bottom to create a fade. It is fast but can not be undone.

[serene fractal]

hi,I've got a PSD file I want to add to a project, but it opens a new project when I click "open" and choose said file

how can I fix this?

sorry for the basic question, just really new

[ripe quest]

You can duplicate the layers or just drag them over to the other file.

[serene fractal]

oh, TSYM

TYSM*

[ripe quest]

The Duplicate feature will move them to the new file and if the files are the same size, they will be duplicated into the same position.

Hi, do this Discord server support question about script (JS) for adobe photoshop?
If not, where can I ask?

[ripe quest]

I suggest posting to the Photoshop Community Forum. https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem/ct-p/ct-photoshop?page=1&sort=latest_replies&lang=all&tabid=all

[dreamy galleon]

Alright, thanks

[stable obsidian]

Hi. How to change the color of eyes beautifully?

[ripe quest]

You could try using an Adjustment Layer > Hue Saturation + Colorize. Use the Layer Mask on the Adjustment Layer to only target those areas.

[stable obsidian]

Got it. Thank's

[visual falcon]

how do i add the gradient as a layer

[rapid obsidian]

Its near mask icon

In adjustments layers pannel.

[visual falcon]

how do i cut out the gradient]

[rapid obsidian]

If it seems hard to you.
Other way to just download this color gradient. (Or gold pattern in your case).

Then put it above layer.
And hit ctrl+alt+g

[visual falcon]

best way

uh uh

[rapid obsidian]

Just download and hit ctrl+alt+g

[visual falcon]

alr

[ripe quest]

Layer > New Fill Layer > Gradient...

(I replied to the wrong post)

[ripe quest]

You can also do this with a Gradient Layer style.

I would probably make a custom "Gold" gradient first. Then apply it as a Gradient Layer style.

[ripe quest]

Or you could do something like this...

[limber steppe]

Good day all, Beginner here. While we're on a similar subject, I was looking for some possible help. Does anyone have "easy" steps on how to give colored text/shapes a chrome look? I've tried to follow some tutorials, but I'm having trouble grasping the concept and am not getting close.

[visual falcon]

thanks for the help guys its done @ripe quest @rapid obsidian

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest

[visual falcon]

how to set up your windows like that

so clean

[rapid obsidian]

There is a chrome filter in photoshop.

Thats easiest way if you are looking for simple chrome.

It may not look that much good but you can try.

[ripe quest]

I would start with a Gradient Layer Style like I demo'd above. But I suppose it depends on the desired look and output.

[ripe quest]

I just collapse all the panels until I need them.

[rapid obsidian]

same.

Assigning keyboard shortcut too.

Especially on properties pannel.

Also their monitor is bigger.

[ripe quest]

I have a "chromium" effect that I made in Adobe Illustrator but you could replicate this sort of thing in Photoshop with Layers and Layer Styles.

[limber steppe]

Oooh, I like that. Now would that effect work for any color?

[ripe quest]

You could probably modify the gradients to use different colors.

[limber steppe]

Ok, this gives me some hope. I'll play around with it and see where it gets me. Thank you.

How could I remove the background? (I removed some parts to make it easier to detect)

If I use "remove background", it leads to this

[ripe quest]

When Select Subject doesn't work exactly as you intend, you can always add or remove from the selection using the other selection tools. Like the Quick Selection Tool...

[forest crescent]

OH

Thank you so much

wait that didn't give creative karma

[forest crescent]

Thank you so much

(idrk how the bot works)

[ripe quest]

It's OK. Not that important. :)

[forest crescent]

Alr, thank you for the help

[gray summit]

why it's not red ?

[ripe quest]

Perhaps your Document Mode is set to Grayscale. Main menu: Image > Mode...

Difficult to know based on just this image and this description. Let's see the whole Photoshop interface.

[gray summit]

idk how disabled grayscale my picture is good , i just can not use color anymore

[rapid obsidian]

Try double tapping then picking color

[gray summit]

how i change mode w/out fusing my calque ?

[ripe quest]

Image > Mode > RGB and when it asks to "Flatten" choose "Don't flatten"

when I open camera raw the file loads for a second then stops when I click on something on my screen it makes a windows beep noise. What do I do?

[orchid knot]

I drew a shape with the pen tool. What's a good way to color it in with a few different colors so the color is perfectly within the lines?

[strange hull]

Just select the area you want

And boom

You can’t go outside lines

[misty jolt]

hey, is it possible to generate some random path that do not cross another one like that ? it's a schematic

[marble carbon]

hello i need help, how can i combine these lines with the circle? So that the lines are only in the cirlce and not in the white area

[ripe quest]

Could just be as simple as using a Clipping Mask. https://discord.com/channels/547473772727238676/1081318392750940290

[ripe quest]

But it depends on what layers you have in the document. Let's see a screen shot of the Photoshop GUI with the Layers Panel open.

[random mortar]

What are these icons

[cerulean zealot]

i recently used my school id to get adobe on my home pc. And I was wondering if my school can see the stuff i do on adobe since i used my school id to use it.

[rapid obsidian]

Check if you turned off any setting of smudge tool.

Its like proportional setting off in Blender, but i dont remember name for smudge tool

[rapid obsidian]

Second is custom shape tool and first is smary object icon

[silver sleet]

whenever i try to use my eyedropper tool in alt it doesnt select my color in the color pallet itself

[rapid obsidian]

Open color tab.
Double click color palette then select.

It is known bug. Happening with many ppl.

Although no clear solution is out yet and it hasn't been fixed yet.

[rapid obsidian]

But you can try this.

[silver sleet]

yeah but what if im trying to use the eyedropper with alt

and i dont want to open up the pallet window

[rapid obsidian]

Try how i said once

[silver sleet]

i did

it works that way

just not as convinient which i guess i dont mind

[rapid obsidian]

Thats only solution by far.

[silver sleet]

oh

well thank you for your help

[rapid obsidian]

Maybe @ripe quest can help.

If it has been fixed.

[crude scarab]

Hello 👋

I am brand new to photoshop, I'm trying to remove everything but the photo (what I have selected is what I want removed) but I cant just delete it

[rapid obsidian]

Right click layer and click rasterize layer style.

It is a smart object, you can see little icon. You can not edit them directlym

[ripe quest]

I believe a fix has been added to the Beta release.

[crude scarab]

I see the option but it cant be clicked.

[rapid obsidian]

Yes upper one

Rasterrize layer

Just

[crude scarab]

oh ok

perfect, thanks!

[ripe quest]

I don't. I don't even know what you're referring to. The Smudge Tool should work the same regardless of whether you close and open the document again.

[crude scarab]

One more thing sorry, how can I convert these measurements to pixels?

[rapid obsidian]

Edit>preferance> general> scale and measurement

It should be pixels not inches.

Send full screen screenshot of it @pulsar bramble

With top tool options

[ripe quest]

Sorry. I don't know what this means.

[crude scarab]

im not seein it here, I might just be blind

[rapid obsidian]

It should be around there

Check other menus in preferances

Data and units?

[crude scarab]

I just right clicked on the rulers and changed it to pixels

ty

[rapid obsidian]

Cool

[tiny thistle]

What is this style called. I want to make something like this. Like this type of logo. And is there any quick way to make it.

[rapid obsidian]

Neon style.

Quick way is to just search tutorial on youtube and follow it.

[wary pendant]

Bro if I want to learn to use AI to change ordinary clothes into a football club team, how do I type it in Youtube?

[light sonnet]

Hi guys Im trying to replace this image's color with a different color is there an easy way to this this?

[rapid obsidian]

Easiest and Fastest way is to select this layer and
Press CTRL + U

And change hue slider.

If this does not fit you, i will write other way.

[light sonnet]

Thanks let me try this

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @rapid obsidian

[light sonnet]

is ctrl U just cmd U

for mac

[rapid obsidian]

Ye

[light sonnet]

Thanks CMD U seems to work how can I change the color to a certain HEX code ?

[rapid obsidian]

Create a layer with that hex code

And put it above this one

And set hex filled layer to color blending mofe

Mode

[light sonnet]

Sorry how do I do this

Create a layer with that hex code
And set hex filled layer to color blending mode

This is my first day on PS 😅

[rapid obsidian]

I could help better if i was on pc

But i will try to write

Do you know how to pick a color?

In left right of toolbar, you will see 2 little color rectangles

Click it

And and panel will open up to pick the color.

There you will see a hex code

Erase and write your own hexcode there.

[light sonnet]

Ok done.

[rapid obsidian]

Now create a empty new layer

The way of it is

In right corner bottom

You will see small icons

One of it has a + on it.

It creates a new layer.

It is like creating a new page of book.

You can drag layer above of below however you like.

Just think of it as notebook, below layer will be under the top one.

So we are trying to create a new layer above our image.

[light sonnet]

I see

Ive created another layer on top of my master layer

[rapid obsidian]

Excellent

Now we want the color of out top layer

Goes to bottom layer.

But our layer is empty

So we will fill it with color first.

You can take brush.

And start to paint this empty layer

With our picked color.

[light sonnet]

Should I select empty layer 2

[rapid obsidian]

Yes

Empty one is what we will fill.

Filling an non empty layer is like spilling paint on it.

[light sonnet]

instead of painting can i use a shape with the desired color

and fill the entire layer

[rapid obsidian]

You can hit alt+backspace

To fix entire layer once.

I didn't write it in case you forget shortcut in future.

Alt is Option key on mac

[light sonnet]

Wow thats nice

[rapid obsidian]

Ye, more shortcuts you know

[light sonnet]

Ok now I have a master layer and layer 2 which is just a color

[rapid obsidian]

Faster it is.

[light sonnet]

Yep Definetely

[rapid obsidian]

So we will make color go to bottom.

This can be ONLY done if layer is right above our main.

So this done.

Set blending mode to Color

Blending mode is in layers pannel.

[light sonnet]

To layer 1 or 2 ?

[rapid obsidian]

On top you will see

'Normal'.

[rapid obsidian]

The one we want color from.

Filled layer.

[rapid obsidian]

Change it to Color.

[light sonnet]

Am I in the right menu?

[rapid obsidian]

You are not but you can also do from here.

But i recommend in screenshot see

The purple icon.

Above it

Just above it

There is normal written

[light sonnet]

The only issue is that the blend seems to have came onto the grey aswell

When I pressed CTRL U It only changed the orange bits

[rapid obsidian]

Ye

Now select main layer

And on top pannels

You see Select.

Click it and in it, Select 'Color range'

Then pick orange

You can drag fuzziness slider to match area.

[light sonnet]

What top panel?

[rapid obsidian]

In like top

File Edit Image Layer...Select

[light sonnet]

Could you draw it out Im not seeing it LOL

[rapid obsidian]

Its at top

On top right.

Its not pannel.

Its just written.

FILE EDIT IMGE LAYER SELECT

At very top

[light sonnet]

the FILE in the top left?

[rapid obsidian]

Its not in screenshot.

See.

[light sonnet]

oh my god

im dumb

[rapid obsidian]

Before that

Click that eye icon near our color layer

It will hide it.

[tiny thistle]

No I mean how to make like these lines type logo with perfect curves and all. Like of any object.

[rapid obsidian]

For the lines and shape use Pen tool.

[rapid obsidian]

Then select>color range> pick an adjust fuziness

[light sonnet]

Ok so on Layer 1 (orginal not filled layer) I click select>color range>fuzziness

[rapid obsidian]

After you hide it.

Then you should see original image.

Then do it.

[rapid obsidian]

Fuziness is just adjustment to range of color

[light sonnet]

This is what happens

[rapid obsidian]

Did you click orange?

Or grey.

If you click orange, orange will be selected.

You clicked wrong i see.

Click again on orange

[light sonnet]

Where do I select orange

[rapid obsidian]

Not there

The mouse

With mouse, click on orange color

[light sonnet]

Where is it

I dont see an option to click on orange

[rapid obsidian]

Assuming you are here.
Just bring your mouse to the orange color

Orange color is on your photo

Its on diagram.

Its not written anywhere.

You are seeing it.

[light sonnet]

On the layer?

[rapid obsidian]

Yess

Lol

Finally

Now

Click ok.

And send ss.

[light sonnet]

Um

[rapid obsidian]

Click ok

And send ss

[light sonnet]

same img

[rapid obsidian]

It should have look like this.

It was automatic way.

But seems like i will have to write manual now.

In Toolbar.

Look for Magic wand tool

[light sonnet]

OK

I had fuzzy

[rapid obsidian]

And with magic wand tool

Click on orange.

Whike holding shift key.

Click on all oranges.

And after it send ss.

[light sonnet]

Its in toolbar

Where brush etc are.

[native gale]

Hey, pretty new to photoshop. Does anyone know of a way to efficiently create frames from the blank spaces? I want to insert images into each section but unsure of how to go about it.

[light sonnet]

Ok It was under object selection tool

I found it

[rapid obsidian]

Yes

Now do it.

Written above.

[rapid obsidian]

You will need to first create A layer for each of the parts.

Then you will need to make selection of each and mask it on different layers.

Then you can proceed to add items on it.

For a very beginner it can be hard task.

[rapid obsidian]

The selection seems imperfect.
If you press q once you will see what areas and selected.

I think it will be hard to make selection.

lets move to previous way i think.

Now try color range thing again.

[light sonnet]

ok

[rapid obsidian]

Or wai

Wait

@light sonnet

[light sonnet]

okok

[rapid obsidian]

In Blending modes,

Where we set it to color

[light sonnet]

Yes

for layer 1 right

[rapid obsidian]

Try chaning it to Hue

[light sonnet]

Nothing Happened

[rapid obsidian]

Press eye icon

To see it.

The one we hd turned off earlier.

[rapid obsidian]

Press Q

[native gale]

To make a layer for all 24 blank spaces would I use the magic wand tool to select it and then do layer via copy? There's no layers currently since I just used the symmetry tool to draw the lines.

[rapid obsidian]

Ia this what yo want?

[light sonnet]

my color seems to be washed heavily

[rapid obsidian]

.
Hm

Alright man.
This time be careful.

First turn it back to color.

Turn the eye icon off.

Then same thing.

Go to select and select orange

[rapid obsidian]

Yes like that.

[native gale]

Ok I'll try that rn

[serene coral]

I used color range to get a selection and used it as a mask on a color fill layer with blending mode set to color

[rapid obsidian]

You need to do like this @light sonnet

[light sonnet]

Can we hop on a disc call where I can screenshare or smth

[rapid obsidian]

I am on phone

So wertos can help maybe.

[serene coral]

then if you want to color individual buildings you can add a new clipped layer

[rapid obsidian]

He is beginner.
Does not know mask, picking color etc.

[serene coral]

what seems to be the problem here?

[rapid obsidian]

He is beginner.

[light sonnet]

lol

[rapid obsidian]

First day of photoshop

[rapid obsidian]

You can do it just click main layer.

Go to select

Then color range

With your mouse,
Click orange

[light sonnet]

thanks so much LMAO

[rapid obsidian]

[serene coral]

add a solid color layer and drag your mask onto it. by double clicking the color you can change it anytime

[light sonnet]

istg i was acting like an old grandpa on PS LMAOOO

[light sonnet]

how do i drag a mask onto it

[serene coral]

you literally grab it and drag 😅

[light sonnet]

what is my mask tho

is that my layer 1 or 2

[rapid obsidian]

Lets leave it lol.

[serene coral]

haha just open my psd

[rapid obsidian]

If you want to change just pick color.
Select layer.
Abd hit alt+backspace.

[light sonnet]

ohh so i drag that into layer 3?

[serene coral]

yes and click yes when it asks to replace

[light sonnet]

ok but it covers up the grey and background a bit

and when i hide the layer it 13B shows up for osme reason

is there a way i can hide that 13B

[serene coral]

remove the text completely?

[light sonnet]

yeah

and the lingering bits of the others

either that or keep all of the letters

[serene coral]

hide your color layers and with the remove tool or spot healing brush tool paint over the text with your base layer selected

[light sonnet]

the top most layer aswell

or just those 2

[serene coral]

it's kind of a mask problem, have you seen my psd? i masked a bit more there and it looked fine for me

[rapid obsidian]

I guess it would be fast if you go through a Full photoshop beginner tutorial of 2-4 hours first.

Trust me.

You will need if you continue using photoshop

If this is last project of you.
Then we can help.

[light sonnet]

its probably the last

[light sonnet]

it that just bc u used a lighter blue

and my color is darker

[serene coral]

no, that doesn't matter at all. in the color range I sampled more colors so the result is more consistent

[light sonnet]

how do you sample more colors

[serene coral]

in the color range window you hold shift and click or drag to add colors to the selection

[light sonnet]

oh shi im lost agian

😭

[rapid obsidian]

[serene coral]

haha just use the file I sent

[light sonnet]

can you switch it to the hex code
#AD006A

im deffo gonna be watching on ps tutorial this is so interesting

this is acc kinda fun lol

[rapid obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/gif-gif-19494464

[serene coral]

it's quite dark so the text should be removed or made white

[light sonnet]

yeahh thats what i was thinking how do i remove that pesky 13v

13b

[rapid obsidian]

Is 13 b is text.

You need to select it.

[light sonnet]

no its part of the img

i havent added it

[rapid obsidian]

Oh.

Want to remove 13b?

[river otter]

I want to remove the background however the colour black is also apart of the main image so I cant just magic wand it, what can I do instead???

[rapid obsidian]

You should use others tools.
I advice Pen tool.

Or lasso tool if you have pen tablet.

[river otter]

trueeee

[rapid obsidian]

@light sonnet where you at

And what you tryna do

[light sonnet]

hihi

[light sonnet]

so basically im tryna delete this 13B from the img that weve masked up

its part of the main layer

[rapid obsidian]

What is 13B wherw?

Send ss

I cant see it.

[rapid obsidian]

Want to do what with it?

[light sonnet]

these too

delete them

[rapid obsidian]

Remove color from it?

Or delete completely

[light sonnet]

or make them darker

[rapid obsidian]

Like no 13 b

Empty

[light sonnet]

I either remove them so its completely gone and use text tool to add them in
OR
make them darker so i dont need to add them in later

i think option 1 is eaier

[light sonnet]

yeah woah

howd u do that

but do that do this img

[light sonnet]

since i removed that red border

unless u could remove that red border too

[serene coral]

https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/cross-with-roses-vector-illustration/409369491?
originally it's a vector so with the original file you could easily just disable background

[light sonnet]

woah

could u briefly explain how u did tha

thnaks so much

[serene coral]

I removed the numbers with the remove tool and brush tool, same with the red square. above it I added a color fill layer set to color and curves layer. grouped the two and applied the color range mask. messed around with curves to get the color about right and that's it

[river otter]

sorry what is this

[serene coral]

the image you sent can be found online as a vector file. you could get it, open in Illustrator and separate the layers, in your case the background

[river otter]

ahhh

thankyou

[light sonnet]

thanks

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @serene coral

[sly hawk]

If for any reason you can't access that vector file, you the auto remove background works quite well. - Maybe add a stroke at the end too.

[foggy seal]

Hi, I was wondering if there's a way to expedite the learning process or acquire skills more efficiently, particularly in creating music covers of this type.

[lucid crane]

Technically you'll need to understand layers, composition, typography, compositing and use of tools like blend-if. As to the style, that's something you'll need to develop or mirror 🙂

[foggy seal]

Are there any YouTube channels providing tutorials on this, or is any guide good?

[lucid crane]

I think one of the best resources is this by Unmesh: https://www.youtube.com/@PiXimperfect/playlists
After that, that's why this channel is called: ask-a-question 🙂

[foggy seal]

Alright, thanks a lot

[scenic pecan]

What's this and how can I fix it?

I'm getting these weird errors or i dont know

[marble carbon]

i tried that already but then the whole line disappear

[serene coral]

corrupted file?

[tardy token]

How would y'all go about editing this image to fit it with a more cosy theme? What would be a good approach? I was thinking of masking areas and editing with Camera Raw Filter. Anyone know any good resources for learning how to edit interior images like this? Thanks 🙏

[grand stump]

What do you want exactly? Change Color, add Furniture, adjust Lighting, etc.?

[tardy token]

I'm trying to give it a more cosy vibe - I guess by editing the lighting and colours a little? I'm not trying to manipulate the image too much so I dont need to add anything extra to the image

[grand stump]

For this particular Image the Lighting is way to bright, its overexposed! So try to lower the Lighting overall, make it a bit darker but also maybe try to adjust the light that its more cosy. I'm not sure about the windows, because they are white on white, but maybe there would help (if darken will not help) to replace them with Generative Fill with more suitable Windows with better Light.

[grand stump]

Also get rid of the white wall on the right. Then it should work.

[tardy token]

That makes sense, thanks. I assume its pretty difficult to edit an image well once its overexposed?

[sly hawk]

Once the overexposure has happened, it's blasted out the detail outside the window. - The data isn't in the window anymore.

[grand stump]

Well, If you have the RAW File it might get easier. If not its harder 😉 It also might no work good so if it should be THAT particular Image and you have now way to shoot that picture again it could take a while.

[grand stump]

But the Overexposion itself you will not get rid of until you shoot that Image properly. You only can "mask" the way to bright areas.

[tardy token]

Makes sense, I'll try my best. I was sent this photo and told to "fix it" 😅 Thanks for the advice @grand stump @sly hawk 🙂

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @grand stump

[grand stump]

where is the best place to get objects and pictures for ps

[rapid obsidian]

Adobe stock, Envato elements, Pngegg..other websites.

[foggy seal]

Is there a method to enhance an object to make it appear highly saturated and emit a glowing effect? something like this

parts of the object glowy

[rapid obsidian]

Yes, you can duplicate layer. Then mask desired areas. And set it to color dodge or Linear dodge. Also you can increase saturation using Hue/saturation adjustment layer.

[ashen halo]

hey guys! wanted find font type by image, found, however in adobe fonts, font appears straight but in photoshop its obviously tilted, iam very confused

[rapid obsidian]

Because it's been set to italics.

italics is tilted version of text

You need to set it to regular.

[ashen halo]

i get that italics is version of text, however in preview it doesnt look like italics, i choosed Bold but it appears as Bold Italics

[rapid obsidian]

Sorry i had a call

You need to check it in settings

It is bold but

There is additional setting to make it ilatic

[ashen halo]

could you, please, specify which settings?

[rapid obsidian]

Open text edito

Where you see spacing font etc

[rapid obsidian]

This pannel

In this panel

[ashen halo]

yep, fixed... THANKS SO MUCH!

[rapid obsidian]

You should see many Ts

Select straight one in case italics is chosen

Done?

[ashen halo]

yep

[rapid obsidian]

Cool

[ashen halo]

thanks for Your time!

[foggy seal]

but color dodge or linear dodge makes it kinda disolve

like not 100% opacity

[rapid obsidian]

Yes, it is only for glow.

You can also paint on those parts with a brush.

The apply little gaussian blurr to itm

And set blending mode to linear dodge.

[foggy seal]

yeah i just want it to like be 100% opacity

yk

[rapid obsidian]

I am assuming you are having a drawing and just want to add glow.

[rapid obsidian]

Duplicate it

[foggy seal]

im making a music cover

[rapid obsidian]

What I've written is Only explaining how to add glow.

Assuming you already have a image to work with.

If you are not satisfied with brightness of image

You can increase its brightness toom

And mask only glowing area.

You can also increase saturation using adjustment layers.

[foggy seal]

i duplicated like this now

i had a mask because it was a white background and i cut out the white background from the object

then i tried to add some glow but it only like outside glowed

but like inside yknow or the whole object

[rapid obsidian]

You can use Inner glow

Change its settings according to need.

You can also add multiple of these by clicking + Icon after their names.

[foggy seal]

oh right

the settings

work

kinda

the center glow

thanks

[rapid obsidian]

Nice.

[foggy seal]

oh and one last thing, if i wanted to like remove the background what is the best tool for like this.

because it will like not load transparent but like with the background

magic wand tool should do it?

[rapid obsidian]

Sorry for late reply since i have notifications turned off. First thing you should do is always try to get it without background. That id necessary and these are just cement stains kind of thing. Should not be hard at all to get png. You can try reverse image search too.

Also gettin without this checkerboard background should be your priority

But in future case you need to edit sonething like this. It varies from image to image. In this particular case. You can try Select menu > Color Range > Pick it.

Also you can remove white by blending it out.
When you double tap layer. The menu will pop up where you will see two white to black sliders.
The one which says This layer.
Click its white side slider towards left. It will erase white from this image.
You can alt click that switch to divide into two for smoothness.

But I see that the checkerboards are mostly grey too. Which can be problem.

But they are still less dark.

Magic wand too Kinda can do it.
But best is to download a transparent one for sure.

[ocean stream]

how would i remove the backround from this image if i dont own photoshop

?

[foggy seal]

okay thanks again

Whatbdo you call background.
The sky?
And what is your subject/want to keep.

[ocean stream]

i want to keep the crab only

[rapid obsidian]

What program do you have?
Since this is photoshop server.
I doubt how to explain.

[ocean stream]

well i really just want to know what tool it is to outline it manually

[rapid obsidian]

How can you do it manually without photohop.

You will need some kind of editing app

[ocean stream]

what would the tool be on photoshop?

[rapid obsidian]

Since it is minecraft like and has straight lines.
The tool that work best will be "Polygon Lasso Tool"

[grand stump]

looks much better for sure.

[ocean stream]

ok

[sly hawk]

You could post it on a photoshop discord group and hope that someone takes pity on you. 👆

[foggy seal]

how can i unselect the parts with the magic wand tool?

[rapid obsidian]

Hold ALT key while using Wand tool

It will subtract from selection.

You can also hold it for other selection tools.

[foggy seal]

thanks

whats the best way to make a plastic texture look really realistic

like make the texture really realistic overlaying the text or something like that

[ripe quest]

That depends on the plastic. Plastic can have many different qualities, e.g. completely smooth and extremely shiny or a dull matte textured surface.

[foggy seal]

like a messy one and it makes the text look like its under the plastic aswell, something like this

[lucid crane]

If its to be shiny plastic, then remember that the specular highlights (the bright shiny bit) are white, under neutral lighting, no matter the color of the plastic

[high scaffold]

Can someone please help me know what settings does photoshop Auto Color use?

Like if i use Auto Color in photoshop it tells me how much hue, shadow color, gamma, etc it changed

[high scaffold]

Not exactly white
They should be somewhere between white and the color of light its reflecting

[lucid crane]

Ah, I forgot to say under neutral lighting 🙂

[high scaffold]

Ah, more accurate now

Btw

[high scaffold]

can you help with this?

@lucid crane

[lucid crane]

To my knowledge there is no official explanation. Its a bit of a black box. This thread has some interesting speculation: https://www.reddit.com/r/photoshop/comments/w75qu9/can_i_tell_what_changes_auto_tone_auto_contrast/
In the video world I’d look at the RGB parades to look into the changes

[high scaffold]

Much appreciated brother

[lucid crane]

The suggestion to use difference blending for analysis is interesting 🙂

[high scaffold]

Thanks!! I think I figured out the solution

[lucid crane]

Do tell! It’ll be of use to others 🙂

[high scaffold]

Well its not a definite solution i got but we can first convert the autoColored image to a color pallete or LUT

then apply the LUT to the original image to learn what parameters have changed

Although i still have to try out this method myself

I'll let you guys know if it works

[quasi aurora]

there's this small corner of the canvas that I can't draw on with anything for some reason. Even if I hide all other layers and draw on the background layer (no masks or anything) I can't fill in the space. Brushes work fine everywhere else, blend mode normal, 100% opacity etc etc. Any idea what this is?

[lucid crane]

Have you been able to identify what layer it’s on ?what about if you duplicate that layer can you drop on it then?

[pulsar bramble]

are there any locked layers

[quasi aurora]

unfortunately like many issues with photoshop I "accidentally" fixed it and have no idea what I did to do so. I think it had something to do with a clipping mask I had, even though the layer was invisible and I removed the clipping mask? I don't know

[tawny aurora]

I i'm searching a way to incrust an image in the green screen with if possible vanishing point to keep the sphere effect

[ripe quest]

"Incrust"? Also, Vanishing Point works on a notion of multi-point perspective. For this, you'd probably have to use a Warp to fit whatever it is into that spherical shape.

[tawny aurora]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jIDA07BIFmE I want to do this but on a sphere but i dunno if it's possible

[ripe quest]

I just said: that isn't how Vanishing Point works. It won't work on a sphere. Vanishing Point requires that you map the image onto a "plane"

[tawny aurora]

Yeah I understand I wanted to clarify what I was asking, but thx I will try with the Warp

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest

[ripe quest]

Edit > Transform > Warp... has a preset called "Inflate" that might get you started. Then it will probably require manually manipulating some of it using a "Custom" approach.

what is the best way to heavily blur the background of an object?

[serene coral]

The creative challenges, if that's what you're talking about, are just for fun and learning together. They are challenges, not competitions

[serene coral]

Separate the object, clean up the background, blur it with your preferred method

[serene coral]

Mixer brush tool and smudge tool are two different things. The smudge tool also has painting mode you can enable in the options bar at the top

I definitely saved them but just have no idea where or how to access them

Is there a way to get the all apps student subscription for just a month? From what I could see getting it for 1 month added a MASSIVE termination fee.

[rain narwhal]

Has anyone ever designed a jersey in photoshop? I have a few questions regarding exporting the file to illustrator and making it printable and such.

[lucid crane]

You could duplicate the text onto its own layer above the main image and use levels to change the white point.

[vapid flume]

Yes, it's tied to the school year you are giving them the proof. The only thing you can do is take a 7 days trial as a "standard" subscriber. But I think you need to do it on a per app basis, not for the whole CC in one go.

[vapid flume]

I never designed a jersey as such, but I designed prints for fabric, so maybe I can help a bit.

[rain narwhal]

I designed a jersey on photoshop and now I want to get it into illustrator. I'm unsure how to exactly do it so it stays as a template design if that makes sense? Another question would be is how can I make sure that the jersey design looks normal with a flow to it. In my head I imagine it in 3D like a blender model but what I can't understand is if I take the designs out of the template as a rectangle. I wouldn't be flawless.

[vapid flume]

Give me 10 minutes I'm on the phone but I'll get to you later

[rain narwhal]

A random design I found which kinda helps me with this question is this. The dragon logo goes from the front to the back of the jersey.

Do you mean like orange and teal cinematic? EDIT: Sorry, I just realised your post was 90 degrees to the right !!

[vapid flume]

@rain narwhal To export your file to illustrator, the best bet is to just select & copy all the layers (CTRL+A and CTRL+C) and paste into a new file in Illustrator. (with a recent version of illustrator) it will paste all the layers as is, in illustrator.

For the rest, you need to know how the pattern is built

[lucid crane]

More like this?

[vapid flume]

@rain narwhal like that

[rain narwhal]

Thank you for that, gives me somewhat of an idea tbh

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume

[oak nest]

Nopeeee

Which is cinematic? 1/2?

[lucid crane]

I think you will have to explain more about your aims for this image so we can point you to methods to achieve it. Merely saying cinematic won't help. This is very subjective and some here would prefer either 🙂

[vapid flume]

I don't even know what "cinematic" would mean. An example from the OP would help!

[vapid flume]

It depends on the printer TBH, some take care of the pattern, some will give you a template, and with some you're on your own.
I suspect you would at least have a template (and they take care of sizes etc). It's really best to talk to the manufacturer in those cases...

[serene coral]

can you explain your goal here? are you trying to mask the subject?

[lusty vale]

yes exaclty,

[lusty vale]

like that is good, but the outline are not nice

[serene coral]

I would recommend using a proper masking technique like using the pen tool

[lusty vale]

yes but do you have a solution to soften it? for the pictuure i sended ?

[serene coral]

since the image you're working on can be called a vector-style the pen tool will give you nice smooth corners when used well

[lucid crane]

I used the object selection tool and a small refinement using quick mask

[serene coral]

you can either feather the mask or use the smudge tool to blur it locally

I guess it would be dystopian

Dystopian sci-Fi is typically things like Akira, Blade Runner, The Necromancer series of books, some of the work of graphic novelist Moebius...

They are generally darker worlds, but I think it fits the bill too

I wouldn't know, I'm tryna find a style that I can advertise as a Dyspotian post-apocalyptic server, tryna give the darker world, and furturistic, thecnology against civilization, sorta theme 💀

[vapid flume]

I think it matches IMHO

I said Necromancer earlier, but that's Neuromancer, sorry, I had a brain fart 🙂
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromancer
It's noted as Cyberpunk as a genre, which could fit as well I suppose

depending on the theme you want to fit in

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk

[supple marten]

my vector based tools keep randomly clicking a random point even tho i didnt click that point while using it

exclduign pen tool

for some reason

anyone know how to fix it

[crimson gazelle]

Neuromancer is what im looking for then, thats very usefulk

[vapid flume]

You're welcome!

[vapid flume]

Are you using a tablet or a mouse?

[supple marten]

Mouse

[vapid flume]

OK, does it happen with just the vector tools or also with - say - the lasso tool?

[supple marten]

That was the lasso too

L

Well free lasso

For normal lasso no iirc

Free and magnetic get the issue

But so does heal brush

[vapid flume]

So the lasso tool.
OK, so all "drawing" tools basically 🙂 I guess the brush tool also?

[supple marten]

I haven't checked but I assume so

And I kinda can't check rn cause not on pc

[vapid flume]

Ah OK, because it's important to know if it's a mouse issue or a Photoshop issue. The problem is that I'll ask you to check things on Photoshop, so it will be better you are on the computer while testing

In case you can't there are two basic trouble shooting things you can try is
1- close PS and open it again (You guessed it!)
2- reset preferences

it could be something else

[supple marten]

As far as I know it shouldn't be a mouse issue cause I used other programs but ps is the only one that does it iirc

I haven't check with other adobe products I have tho

[vapid flume]

When you're back at the computer, check how to reset the preferences and see if that solves the issue
https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/preferences.html
if not, we'll have to see other options

[supple marten]

ok ive checked

brush tool is fine

but not the click lasso tools

@vapid flume

[vapid flume]

What about other adobe programs?

[supple marten]

they're fine

[vapid flume]

OK, so there's ground for resetting the preferences then. Do you have some custom presets there? (Actions, tool presets etc?)

[supple marten]

this only happened after a few clicks

[supple marten]

nope all of them arent changed

this just randomly happened one day

[vapid flume]

I am asking if you got some custom presets, to make a back up before we reset the preferences

I expect them not to have changed

[supple marten]

but yeah i dont have them

and i've already resetted it too

[vapid flume]

No luck?

[supple marten]

nope

[vapid flume]

Did you use the link above to reset? or did you do with another method , and if the latest, what method did you use?

[supple marten]

i just clicked this

[vapid flume]

OK

Can you check something real quick?
go to help>GPU compatibility and see if everything is OK
Also see if you're on the latest version

if not, just update to the latest

[supple marten]

im running on 2020

[vapid flume]

[fallow silo]

Question regarding monitor calibration: Does anyone have experience in calibrating a computer monitor to ensure accurate color for printed images out of PS? I see some options on Amazon. But I wanted to get some opinions and advice on how or if I should proceed and purchase.

[vapid flume]

I have a Spyder monitor calibrator (although it's not new!)

[supple marten]

mine is 21.1.0

[vapid flume]

But if you need to match screen and print, you need a printer calibration too

[fallow silo]

Are you happy with the results?

So you need to update then

[vapid flume]

Yes, in the context of having a consistent result from file to file. But I do not print at home, If I need to send my files to a printer, I make sure I get the proper profiles from them. If you're printing at home, you'll need to create your own printer profiles

[supple marten]

Alright then I'll try to update it tommorrow I'll see if it works

Thanks

[vapid flume]

If it's still no good after the update, then we'll need to check the archives for a solution 🙂

You're most welcome 🙂
Datacolour are running their own promotions, which are different than Amazon's. I bought mine on an independent shop, that was cheaper than the Amazon price. So check the prices carefully!

[fallow silo]

Will do 👍

[vapid flume]

If you are situated in manland Europe there is a Dutch shop who's specialised in those stuff and who posts everywhere . I can dig it out if you need it

[fallow silo]

I'm in the US. But I will do some research. It's a fine line between need & want. 😆

Great life lesson here 🙂

how to recolor this into white?

ik i can paintbucket each letter

but it looks weird than

any other way?

i just feel like theres easier and more quality way to do it

[vapid flume]

The easiest way would be to double click on the layer thumbanil to access the layer styles and apply a colour overlay

Or why not just change the font colour?

Sorry I missed your screenshot

At the top

click on the colour rectangle and either choose white or type the hex code

[lucid crane]

How about Image > adjustments > invert 🙂

You also have the the conceptual bar where you can change the colour

see the black square? you can click on it to change the colour

[gloomy dew]

Hello, does anyone have graphic elements? It would be helpful to me.

[brittle goblet]

@vapid flume do u work for photoshop?

[lucid crane]

@vapid flume is a moderator but does not work for Adobe.
What's your query?

[lucid crane]

Thats a bit vague. What type of graphic elements are you looking for? You'll find a lot at places like Pixabay or Unsplash or use Firefly 🙂

[forest gull]

which version of photoshop has layers that can be added and changed?

[vast yew]

I would like a link to the adobe Illustrator channel, please

I can't find it

[quasi aurora]

just have a small concern, when I open new dockers like the layer or brush docker, it moves the main "document" in the center slightly, pretty sure it's just basic resizing to center the document, but I find it a little annoying when I'm constantly opening and closing dockers. Is there any way I can disable that "resizing"?

[lucid crane]

All recent versions have layers

Why doesn't "save for web" work?

"Out of memory"

no clue why

tried ps 23 and 24

[serene coral]

Out of memory? Anything special about your file? Is it big?

[serene coral]

What does this error message say?

[mystic trail]

Quite big, 80 mb. Trying to render a snowing animation that loops for a webpage

[mystic trail]

"There wasn't enough memory" translated from swedish

idk the exact wording

[serene coral]

Is it like a 30 second gif in fullhd?

[mystic trail]

right now it's 1300x1300 for 25 seconds as I want the snow to fall very slowly. Guess I could make it 1080x1080 (not gonna repeat itself on the page, it's just for the top half of the site)

but shorter gif than that doesn't give the results I want for the animation

[serene coral]

Gifs are horrible for what you're doing here. If it's for a website, I would recommend coding the animation. Gifs are really bad at handling longer animations and higher resolutions. You gave it both 🙃

[mystic trail]

is it going to be a problem for some people to load the site at a certain gif size?

if I make it work

don't have any coding knowledge unfortunately

[quasi aurora]

would an mp4 be better for something like that? that's what I would think to use

[serene coral]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was unnecessarily big after exporting. There are much better solutions like lottie or even using a regular video file

[quasi aurora]

anyone know anything about this? still haven't found anything after an hour of googling

[mystic trail]

I'm using HTML code to attach the gif to the site with a link, don't know how that would be done with an mp4

[quasi aurora]

same way you do it with a gif, use an attribute to point to the file

[quasi aurora]

[mystic trail]

So basically it's a merch site that lets you edit the code as well. I don't have any additional software or anything like that if that's needed

Where would the mp4 be hosted?

thinking I can't just put a link to a youtube video or something?

[serene coral]

It depends on your panels layout and view mode. Try changing it by pressing F and see if it makes a difference for you

[quasi aurora]

you could, it's called embedding, it depends on how you're hosting your files but it should be as simple as uploading the video the same way you upload the other text files

[quasi aurora]

this was exactly what I was looking for, thanks man that was killing me

[fluid crane]

[mystic trail]

alright thank you!

is there any file size or length I should keep the video to in order to not make the website slow for most people?

[quasi aurora]

other than "as small as possible", I'd try to avoid anything larger than say 40 mb?
