❓ask-a-question

[mystic trail]

Well hmm the thing is that youtube compresses the video anyway so not sure how that works

If I uploaded a 40 mb vid to youtube, will it aways be 40 mb (but most likely less) ?

since compression

[quasi aurora]

well if you embed the video the users never download the whole thing at once anyway, they stream it in chunks so the video size never really matters for them

it's images that users have to download all of before they can see everything

[mystic trail]

I'm talking about a website background here, not a video playing on a site

or maybe you knew that

want the entire web page to be filled with this video

looping

[quasi aurora]

I'm not entirely sure but I think you can use videos for that purpose, just hiding the controls and looping it automatically but I've never done something like that before

pop up on a programming discord and you'll have a hundred nerds answering every question you could ever have at the speed of light

I feel annoying asking about this again, but the only problem I have with this solution is that it hides any other windows I have open, which I'd like to avoid, is there a way for it to both be "fullscreen" but also keep the other floating windows visible?

I guess it seems antithetical to fullscreen, but I figured I'd ask anyway

[serene coral]

Can you screenshot your current layout?

[quasi aurora]

as you can imagine pressing f will hide my reference image, but maintains the position of the document when I open/close dockers

[mystic trail]

I've tried that, don't seem to be very many good servers on that surprisingly 😅 especially if you're impatient

[quasi aurora]

try the C# discord, I've had a lot of luck there myself

[serene coral]

I see. One of the solutions I can think of would probably be undocking your main document panel

[serene coral]

Your brushes are together with your layers panel. Can you screenshot it when it's wrong?

[quasi aurora]

wow, what an interesting solution, this might be perfect actually

[quasi aurora]

not sure what you mean but it just moves the document to the center of the resized window when I open a docker, so the before and after looks something like this (I haven't moved the document at all, only opened the layer docker)

[serene coral]

Haha I see now, it gets centered... In this case, a not-docked-view workflow might be for you. That's how things were back in the old days haha

[sharp lantern]

y0 can someone explain to me how i can add a image to a waved line like i this picture https://i.imgur.com/UKjTqBn.png

i guess with the path tool right?

[wide goblet]

A friend of mine sent me this and wants to cut out the emote to include it in their discord server, what would be the workflow for that? I think 128x128 pixel is the resolution discord takes emotes, but if I put the photoshop project through the image to it the source image gets scaled down into that as well, even after I cut out the emote already with the quick selection tool.
How to prevent the downscaling and how to get this Emote in max quality in proper resolution?

[sharp lantern]

there are "addons" to discord that let you copy emotes from servers to your server

[quasi aurora]

since you're screenshotting, the image is rasterized and therefore downscaling is completely unavoidable

that's just how graphics fundamentally work. Your only solution is to hire an artist or find the original image in its native resolution

[serene coral]

In this case the image you're adding isn't going to be wavy itself. It's just a matter of good positioning and using layer masks to hide unwanted parts or using the brush tool to add them

[wide goblet]

This is what I could do, this is the maximum I can get, right ? 128x128 pixel

[sharp lantern]

🤟🏻

[wide goblet]

Thank you very much!

[sharp lantern]

np

[wide goblet]

How did you do this ?

[random kiln]

Is it possible to edit videos in photoshop

[serene coral]

While it is possible, I would recommend using a video editing software to do this

[random kiln]

do you know of any good video editing softwares for free?

[serene coral]

DaVinci Resolve

[random kiln]

thank you!

[sly hawk]

Most likely a reverse image lookup.... (or magic)

Hi I wanted to ask a question here , I dont know if the last one is resolved

[surreal lantern]

Hi everybody! After denoising my picture my brick wall appears too smooth and lacks the realistic, weathered, and aged look I want. Is there a recommended overlay texture/brush that i could use to add details like cracks, weathering, and an overall older appearance to make it more authentic?

[blissful wedge]

Does Anyone know how to Distort and Image
I have this masked out sign of a Cinemark Sign and I wanted to distort it so that it presented to be on top of this building seamlessly
Here is a image of my screen, layer, and Where I want each thing to go
I can also supply a PSD if needed

I want the perspective and left sign to be on top of this building on the right

[river otter]

what option bar?

[dry swallow]

what is the best way to identify a font?

[undone peak]

Why does it keep saying cannot make new layer because selected area is empty? I made a selection using pen tool then used the rect tool to make a layer via copy but it keep showing that message

[dry swallow]

can anyone help me?

[ripe quest]

Right inside Photoshop... Main menu: Type > Match Font and Ps will try to suggest fonts that are similar. There is also the Adobe Fonts website: https://fonts.adobe.com/ (and also, third-party sites like What The Font)

[ripe quest]

I don't understand what this means. Sorry. You drew paths/shapes with the Pen Tool? Are you saying that you made a selection from the path?

[dry swallow]

didn't work can you help me this?

[ripe quest]

Sorry. I don't know what font that is. Maybe try What the Font: https://www.myfonts.com/pages/whatthefont

[dry swallow]

got it! thank you! have another question how dose 3d work on photo shop. also how do you get bubble text on photoshop?

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest

[ripe quest]

Unfortunately, I can't explain all of 3D features. You should consult the documentation for that: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/essential-3d-concepts-tools-photoshop.html

[ripe quest]

I don't know what "bubble text" means. Sorry.

[dry swallow]

is there any videos on it?

[dry swallow]

HOW DO YOU GET THIS TYPE OF BUBBLE TEXT?

[ripe quest]

Probably. Try searching YouTube for "Photoshop 3D"

[ripe quest]

I don't know.

[dry swallow]

got it! thank you for your help.

[grand stump]

That would probably work in Adobe Firefly or searching for a Font.

[dry swallow]

what is adobe firefly.

[grand stump]

Have a look at firefly.adobe.com

[robust flare]

my brush is coming out in solo circles instead of a smooth line

how do i fix it

nvm i got it

[blissful wedge]

Just putting this back up here to see if anyone got anything

[undone peak]

This right here. It is frustrating. It always happen after I make like 3 layers

[ripe quest]

Sorry but this doesn't tell me much about what caused it. Please show the Photoshop GUI with the Layers Panel open.

[ripe quest]

So you're trying to copy that portion of the hair to a new layer?

[undone peak]

Yes? Im following a tutorial about how to animate hair

i need to create multiple selections and create layers via copy but I always come across this

[ripe quest]

So click on the Background layer in the Layers Panel to activate it (the layer with the image of the woman) and then do Ctrl J to copy and duplicate those pixels to a new layer.

Ctrl J will jump a copy of the selected area to a new layer.

[undone peak]

ahh right that works. Thanks For some reasons that isn't an issue when clicking on certain layers. Im assuming it's beecause the selection was outside of the domain of whatever layer I was on

[ripe quest]

You were trying to copy a portion of a layer that was completely empty. There was nothing to copy and thus you were getting that error.

Make sure you are working on the correct layer when you're trying to copy something. Its an easy mistake to make.

[dry swallow]

do anyone know how to use the 3d feature on photoshop?

can not move my text in 3d.

will not let me move my text up side down side ways. won't let me change anything. do anyone know how to resolve this?

[rotund sphinx]

How do I crop this transformation box to match the exact dimensions of the entire image? The two images shown are separate, but I have them both selected.

[serene coral]

With both layers selected you're transforming all of them together. What is your goal?

[serene coral]

3d features are currently being removed from Ps

[rotund sphinx]

Trying to add a vignette to the entire screen but since uneven portions of the images are outside of the boundaries, the vignette is also outside of the boundaries

[serene coral]

Make a new layer, fill it with white and make it a smart object. Apply vignette from camera raw to the layer and set the blending mode to multiply

Or just use a gradient fill layer

[rotund sphinx]

Thank you! Still figuring out the basics, so sorry if it was an easy question

[fluid crane]

Hey guys,
the lower image is my ps preview and the other the export window
As you can see, the gradient just doesnt show up
why? and how do i fix it?

well i still dont know why
but i saved a copy as png and it worked

if you have a fix for the export please tell anyways

[serene coral]

would be great to see the whole ui and layers. can you send the psd here?

[main forge]

can i send you per dm?

i dont really want to show everyone how bad i am xD

[plucky crow]

hi i was wondering how to make the copy css available? i`ve tried creating new text/ shapes and it still doesn:t work

[serene coral]

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/copy-css-shape-or-text.html
It will work with text, shape and regular layers but it is generally unused feature

[plucky crow]

yeah i was trying to use it on shapes, text but does not worked

[serene coral]

if you're trying to select more that one layer, group them and right click the group

[plucky crow]

no i was trying to select only one layer, what i meant i tried on so many different things and it still does not work

i thought maybe there is some sort of settings i turned off?

[serene coral]

can you screenshot more than just the menu?

[plucky crow]

this?

[left trellis]

Hi, Good morning ive was wondering trying how to get this aesthetic on the first three images on the tree background but i dont have an idea on how to do it, does anyone have an idea

[vapid flume]

What do you mean exactly by aesthetic? Because for me they feel vastly different.

[sly hawk]

You want the last image (brown grass) to look bright and vibrant?

[vapid flume]

except for the grass 🙂

[left trellis]

i mean mostly the third one i want to feel warm and have the same time of colours

[left trellis]

yeah the last image too look vintage and indie like the third one

[sly hawk]

third, being "Terrenoire"?

[left trellis]

yes

[vapid flume]

The 3rd one is slightly lower in contrast with a yellow/magenta tint

[left trellis]

oh ok, let me try that

[vapid flume]

do you can try that for a start

[sly hawk]

lol. SHOUTING! @vapid flume

[vapid flume]

CAPS LOCK!

[left trellis]

yeah let me me try that

[vapid flume]

I would do either with a curve adjustment layer, or you can do with level, or exposure, and a hue/sat adjustment layer for the tint

[sly hawk]

I tried a gen-fill, "lucious green grass" and it kind of went a little overboard and changed the entire landscape!

[vapid flume]

There is a neural filter to change the "season" of landscape photos as well

If that's what you wanted to do, but I gather you were more concerned about the colour and lighting of the whole scene?

[left trellis]

yeah a little bit like this

[vapid flume]

So landscape mixer in the neural filters can change the exact landscape from "winter" to "summer" and then you can do your grading after the filter results are in

[lucid crane]

I think you’ve all gone a bit Laa Laa 😉

[sly hawk]

Yeah. Probably.

[onyx moth]

Question for LR but i'm guessing PS has the same feature

a couple weeks ago i accidentally figured out how to compare the original + edit side by side. I can't remember what the bind was tho.. There were a few different 'modes' if i remember correctly

i've tried everything on my keyboard, i'm 99% sure it was a keybind

LR 2024 btw

[stark idol]

hey guys, how can i only change these 2 angles

without affecting the 2 other ones

[stark idol]

omg i feel so dumb lool tysm

[serene coral]

I'm pretty sure it's Y by default

[onyx moth]

nope that brought up activity for me

i haven't changed any binds, don't even know how to

[serene coral]

are you in the develop view?

[onyx moth]

i dunno how to get to that haha

mate of mine said it's in development but i thought he meant the feature is a work in progress

🤦🏻‍♂️

[serene coral]

press D or select it in the top right corner

[onyx moth]

D didn't do anything for me

[serene coral]

are we talking LR or LRC?

[onyx moth]

i couldn't stand classic haha

[limpid sedge]

How can i do this effect in ps?

[pine berry]

bluring the text a bit

Not perfect, bu in that direction

possibly normal blur will help too

The rectangle tool can round edges

[forest gull]

where is that

[pine berry]

Press the U key

[forest gull]

oh mb thankyou

Use a font with round edges

[serene coral]

gaussian blur + threshold

[limpid sedge]

Thanks a lot!! Ill try it as soon as im home, yall are really helpful♥️

[quasi aurora]

since when did delete on a selection activate content fill? can't find how to fix that anywhere in the shortcuts menu

they really gotta add a search bar for shortcuts. Biggest thing I miss from krita and no excuse why it shouldn't exist in photoshop

[serene coral]

yeah, I can remember it being like this years ago... are you on mac or pc?

[quasi aurora]

pc. I ended up just setting the content fill to "white", and after a couple minutes it just...stopped activating content fill with delete and went back to normal?

I don't understand photoshop lmao

[dusty rock]

Hi again

been a while

question: How do I selete the images at the top left

the logo

[lucid crane]

You could do this with a crop then color range selection and then levels but unless you have a higher resolution starting image it will be a bit rough

[ripe quest]

"Selete"? Is that some combination of "select and delete"? :)

[shy pilot]

Someone help me, the blending modes in my photoshop are not all available and I don't know what to do to fix this 😭

[ripe quest]

Those are Blend Modes for the Brush Tool. Is your document in Indexed Color? You'd need to work in RGB. Image > Mode > RGB...

@shy pilot - I'm glad you got it figured out. :)

[ivory lance]

I need help and am very frustrated. I am making a simple christmas card for mass print. Saving it as a pdf and one part of an M will not come out in color. I have googled it and tried everything. I have even painted over it in another layer and it is still not showing in acrobat.

I had to draw on the pdf in acrobat to make it work

[ripe quest]

That's a strange issue. If that is a font, perhaps make a copy of that Text Layer and rasterize it. Then export. See if that works.

[lavish scroll]

How do I make like a text warped like this

[ripe quest]

You can try selecting the Layer, converting to Smart Object and then using Edit > Transform > Warp...

[dire geode]

Why does photoshop mix red and blue into black shades of them?
How do I make it stop?

[ripe quest]

There is a slight feathering on the Brush tool and those pixels at the edge are semi-transparent. If you don't want that, you could try using the Pencil Tool...

[dire geode]

brush has mode: normal, layer has mode:normal
it's also consistent between documents

[dire geode]

but I do want that, it just shouldn't turn so dark

[ripe quest]

Well, it will be a the combination of the two colors...

Where the transparent edge shows through to the color below. The result is a mixture of those two colors.

[dire geode]

I thought combinations are not changing how dark it is
my bad

Thanks for explaining

I thought I had some weird blending mode on

[ripe quest]

It will also appear to be more pronounced when you're zoomed way in on it. Viewing at 100% zoom, it is only slightly noticeable.

[dire geode]

is there a way to change blending mode but only for how transparency is treated?

[main forge]

Hey guys can someone whos like really really really experienced help me for a sec?

Hi! Is that kind of style possible to make in photoshop ? I want to make similar things.

[main forge]

possible? yes
how? idk

[arctic spear]

So probably is made in photoshop ? Am I right ? If someone know how this type of art s called you can tell me 🥲

[main forge]

this looks like an acrylic painting but i dont know what this kind of style is called

was not made in ps

[lucid crane]

Its oil paint on canvas. You can certainly use PS brushes to give the paint effect and you can use textures to get the canvas look. Its less easy to get the paint build up effect.
See https://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/oil-paint-filter/

[main forge]

why would it only be oil? Could also be acrylic

[vapid flume]

The filter in Photoshop is called Oil Filter, the effect could be called acrylic as well, they just decided to call it oil 🙂
The thick paint effect (in the green) is called "inpasto" ...it's not a style, it's a painting technique. It's difficult to identify a style from a close up, the whole image would be better.

The canvas is very visible, so unless the artist really went for maximum realism in Photoshop, I would still err on the side of a canvas painting. That bristle dual colour in the aqua colour, while being possible in PS, suggest it as well...

@vapid flume would you mind to have a look at my problem?

[stark idol]

hey guys, do someone has a envato elements account, wanna get help for finding images

[vapid flume]

It honestly looks like a bug to me, at first sight

[main forge]

the gradient gets changed in export or import in after effects whenever it is masked

[main forge]

i think so too but it also occurs on new files with diffrent dpi

[vapid flume]

Not me... I can give you the link to the free section of Adobe stock if you want

[stark idol]

no, i mean for having help to find images, like keywords

but i appreciate that

you're the most helpful person with dhumann on this server you got deserve a medal fr

[vapid flume]

In that case, and if you're more or less sure it's a bug, then that's ground for a bug report so the devs can have a look at it. I means they are the ones who can correct it
Does it happen also if you tried to revert back one version?

[stark idol]

(i'm looking for pictures from a special angle, perspective) and i struggle to find what i search

when i see people doing photo manipulation i'm jealous of them finding so much images fitting perfectly with their editing

[main forge]

could you maybe start a new file in your photoshop and give it to me to import into ae? i wanna know if its system based
just a gradient masked by a box like this

[main forge]

yea i was gonna go and report it but forgot xD

also happens in beta

[vapid flume]

OK, it's a pet peeve of mine too 🙂 (People who submit assets to stocks website, bloody put the angle of view in the KEYWORDS!)
But I digress 🙂
Can you show the kind of angle you need and I'll try to come up with keywords. Also, on most stock websites you can upload a photo to match, sometimes that helps for the angle

[main forge]

didnt try with a lower ver

[vapid flume]

As I said, I honestly don't know
You can report the bug either in the app (the help section) or directly on the community forum
That's where the devs, sometimes, hang out

wait nvm i just search like a noob

i kinda suck at mixing the pictures too

[main forge]

[stark idol]

i kinda want like a top pov

i know the words in my native language but suck at english for finding them

[vapid flume]

things to know is "styles"
For example objects on a table where the camera looks top down@ Lay Flat
Same with landscape (think drone image): Birds-eye
view from the floor: worm view
etc

What is your native language?

[stark idol]

french

in my language

[vapid flume]

OK, what is your word in French?

[stark idol]

what i'm searching is plongée

"vue plongée"

[vapid flume]

like underwater?

[stark idol]

but the literal translate is "dive view"

[vapid flume]

try top down then

[stark idol]

i'm looking for pictures fitting this perspective

[stark idol]

left side gonna be the first plan with someone standing up

[vapid flume]

So top down view for me

[stark idol]

but you see on this picture it's too much top down

[vapid flume]

Yes but you will not find the exact thing!

[stark idol]

and with a desert theme too

[vapid flume]

Because for me plongee is that

even in French it's not that precise

[stark idol]

so i need to put "top down" when i look for pictures

yes yes

[vapid flume]

plongee litterally means that the camera is higher than the subject

[stark idol]

i think in my case you talk with degres lol

[vapid flume]

Yes, but I doubt anybody puts degrees in their keywords

[kindred plaza]

hi guys

You could invert the selection and then do Ctrl J

Select > Inverse (Shift Ctrl i)

How do I invert the selection?

Ill give it a shot, thanks

[hollow fable]

How important is a dedicated gpu for photoshop? I'm building a system for a hobbyist and I was under the impression it was more cpu/ram heavy, but someone earlier told me it does infact include a dedicated gpu in the minimum requirements.

I was hopeful the i5-13500 (14 cores) and 32gb of ddr5 6000mhz CL30 would have done the job, but I guess I may need to rearrange the build to incorporate a gpu afterall :/?

[stark idol]

i did that lol ty @vapid flume

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume

[ripe quest]

More and more, software apps are offloading tasks to the GPU. Not just Photoshop but many titles will utilize those resources. It would be advisable to have a dedicated GPU in the PC going forward. I think you'll be glad later that you have it.

[hollow fable]

Well... it'll mean I have to get a way worse monitor or cpu

So... its kinda hard to balance all this in a $1000 budget

I wanted the asus proart monitor but I guess I have to sacrifice and get some random gaming monitor with decent color coverage :x

[river otter]

I mean, integrated gpus are good nowdays too.
Many people with laptops use igpu that shares ram, and have no problems with it.
I don't think it is a big deal for image works, for videos it is another story.

I have ideapad flex 5 and it is igpu. Works almost same as my desktop with nvidia card.
I really did not noticed difference, and I know to do heavy projects too.

But if you want a good GPU for that prize, I would half a ram. 16GB RAM.
Older i7.
For that money you can built monster PC.

[river otter]

I wanted to buy Deco Mini7, is it any good and do I really need it for simple designs?
I barelly create art, I am in doubt to buy it for my art hobby, I think it won't benefit me much with flat designs, bit art and drawings.

im trying to transfer the color from one image to another, and this gives great results by using an Indexed color table from the colored image onto another image, but its there any way to do this with more than 256 colors?

Match Color gives severly muted results.

How to crop an image in photoshop? ( When I crop it, It crops the whole canvas)

oh ok thankyou

[unique granite]

How to remove filter from any image? like Gaussian blur from the image...

[vapid flume]

You can't unless,
1- you can go back in the hitory to revert to an earlier state of the file (that means not having saved and closed the file between those two states)
2- If you applied the filter on a smart layer, you can remove it as it appears at the bottom of the layer. Just select the filter and hit delete

If you show us your file opened in Photoshop with all the panels visible, then it will be easier to say what is your case

[unique granite]

I added blur on an image and copy pasted it... now I wanna remove the blur from the 2nd image

[vapid flume]

Well , all you need to do is remove it from the first and copy paste again. If you copy paste instead of properly place a .psd file, then you don't have access to what's inside this file anymore

[unique granite]

see two cross

[unique granite]

I wanna remove blur from one cross

[vapid flume]

You can't unless they are smart layers. See my screenshot

[unique granite]

damnn

[vapid flume]

Well, you gotta use smart layers! 🙂

[unique granite]

Making them smart layers are a good p[ractice?

[unique granite]

I installed today idk

[vapid flume]

choose file>place, instead of copy and paste when you want to add a new image as a layer

Well, let's be honest, it's quite a project to start on your first day 🙂

Thumbnail or big poster, the system is the same. You need a basic understanding of how the app works, otherwise it will be very frustrating!

yeh iseee

i thought i ll learn along the way

[vapid flume]

Well, it's quite a complex software, unless you want to do simpler stuff, so expect a bit of a learning curve! (That's why there are Discord servers, otherwise we wouldn't need them! 🙂 )

You can use the blending mode "difference" (or try the ones below as well)

use it on the top layer, not both 🙂

Hey, could anyone please help me with this?
someone (not me) has tried brightening image 2608 and has gone a bit overboard.

Hey everyone. It's not directly Photoshop, but Lightroom Classic related... I did retouch a wedding as usual, but when I export now, the files are 5 times bigger than they used to be even though the export settings are all the same?! Did I miss a change? @ me

Does this work for you using curves? Too close to 2607? Use the opacity slider to blend it as you wish?

hi guys

could someone help me make a logo im quite new to this

You'll need to give some more details of who its for, what its about etc.
You might want to take a look here for inspiration 🙂

well man

im creating a logo for a future brand rn

more like a side hobby

[ripe quest]

https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/how-to-design-logo

First, learn what a logo is and the best practices for creating one.

You could brainstorm with Photoshop but [ideally] you'd want to build the logo in vector format. Adobe Illustrator is a more suitable tool for these sorts of tasks.

That would be the best idea if you want to get serious Logo for sure.

[strange hull]

Blurry random images?

Just grab the point brush and go ham

[sly hawk]

Sorry, just got back

[sly hawk]

Yeah, just look at a normal image, then squint your eyes a bit....

[manic isle]

yo, how do I get a faded background like this

don't ask what im tryna make

[ripe quest]

Perhaps reduce the Opacity for that Layer in the Layers Panel.

(or put Color Fill layer over it and turn down the Opacity on that layer.)

[manic isle]

when i do that, the whole image goes darker and darker, not just the corners

lemme try the second option

didn't work either

[ripe quest]

Oh. I misunderstood your question.

One moment...

[ripe quest]

I would make a Layer Mask with a feathered edge on it...

[quasi aurora]

anyone know why applying a layer mask seems to reduce the opacity of the masked layer? is there a way to prevent that?

[ripe quest]

That's what a Layer Mask does. It reduces opacity when used with various shades of grey. Black is completely hidden. White is completely visible.

[quasi aurora]

I see, I just assumed if you selected the entire layer and applied a mask, the mask would be 100% white but that doesn't seem to be the case. Probably because the pixels themselves are slightly transparent

does it take the value of each pixel to create the mask? or just the opacity?

[ripe quest]

It's going to depend on the values of the color in the Foreground Color chip in the Toolbar.

[ripe quest]

I don't understand the question. When you paint on a Layer Mask with black, those pixels will be completely hidden. Paint with white and they are revealed. Paint with shades of grey, you get varying levels of opacity. The darker the shade of grey, the more transparent it will be.

[quasi aurora]

right, I just didn't know that the generated mask itself wasn't 100% white. If I want the layermask to be 100% white, how do I edit the mask without "adding" to it, if that makes sense?

without expanding the boundry of the layermask

[ripe quest]

You can adjust it with perhaps, a "Levels" command.

[quasi aurora]

man you're a genius. All very eye opening, thanks

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest

[ripe quest]

If you ALT click on the Layer Mask in the Layers Panel, it will show you the mask by itself. Then you can do Image > Adjustments > Levels...

(Alt Click it again to return to normal viewing mode)

[quasi aurora]

oh woah, I've just been left clicking on the mask to select it and then adjusting it, that's kind of interesting

[ripe quest]

There are some cool ways to adjust it. I don't think a lot of people realize this...

[quasi aurora]

oh man that's insane

since I have you for a second, I wonder if you've seen this before? I've been wondering what this was for months:

these little colored squares next to the clipping masks. I asked here before, but no one seemed to know what they were

[ripe quest]

I think they're just Color Fill layers. They appear to have been rasterized. However, regardless, I'm not sure of their purpose since they are completely masked out. Their Layer Masks are completely black.

Unless the areas are just small and I can't see any details that might be on the masks.

Someone must have a good reason for doing that. I suppose it could be to just paint on the mask to reveal those colors in certain areas of the image.

[quasi aurora]

it looks like you might be right, never even heard of these before so I have some reading to do

thanks man seriously this was a lot of help, I really appreciate it @ripe quest

Greetings

I am blending in a characters leg into a bush and ive usually done this by hand masking away some leaves and stuff using the normal soft edge circular brush. Is it possible to make any brush act 'soft'? For example im here showing how ive used some water spray brush to make it more randomized than a circular soft edge (The edes are sudden and rough) (Yes im yet blur the environment around the foot, dw ill do it hehe)

i see that i think every other brush has its hardness grayed out

[median forge]

I’m trying to do a photoshoot where one of the props is a copper colored visor kinda thing that would be worn like a VR headset, but I’m finding trouble getting a material that would be cheap and easy to work with to make it. How hard do y’all think it would be to just make it out of poster paper or something and then edit it to be a reflective copper color? I can send a sketch of what I want it to look like but it’s kinda simple I feel like
I’d also want to have a few different angles of it, so that’s why I feel like it’ll be hard to edit- just because consistency might be hard

And if anyone has any ideas about if there’d be a material easier to edit into this copper reflective visor thing, I’m all ears!

[raven sage]

cannot add gradient to layer mask

i remember i used that feature

last time

maybe before 24,0 update?

[strange hull]

In Photoshop, you can't directly apply a gradient directly to a layer mask like you would apply it to a regular layer. Instead, you can create a gradient on a separate layer and then use that as a mask for the layer you want to affect. Here's how to do it:

Create a new layer above the layer you want to apply the gradient mask to.
Select the new layer.
Use the Gradient tool to create the gradient on this new layer. You can select the type of gradient and draw it as needed.
Once you have your gradient on the new layer, you can then apply it as a mask to the layer below. To do this, hold the Alt (Option on Mac) key and click between the two layers in the Layers panel. This will use the contents of the top layer as a mask for the layer below it.
Now, the gradient you created on the new layer will act as a mask for the layer you wanted to apply it to. Adjust the opacity and blending mode of the top layer to fine-tune the effect.

In 10 mins I'll check my own photoshop and try it out, and send a recording

i did hard reset with photoshop. problem solved

[sly hawk]

The other person said "just make a mask", but that's a LOT harder said than actually done. There is a quick video here of me trying things, none of them worked particularly well.

[vapid flume]

See that. I know it's nopt copper, but it will be easy to adjust the colour in Photoshop. That's the only "real" mirror like material in that price range I know of
https://culturehustle.com/collections/magic/products/mirror

[vapid flume]

Maybe it's because you're using the wrong gradient (sorry, I didn't read the whole excahnge as the messages - one line at a time - are too long to read, it's tedious... Please stop 😁)
I am not saying it's that or not, but since there are new gradients since a couple of versions back, I am tentatively trying to find a solution.

Also it would be cool if you could to share your screen as there is no point trying to solve a problem, when something, maybe completely obvious, prevents you to create a gradient on a mask, while the rest of us can.
It's obviously something on your end, and if you don't show us your screen, we'll never know why

[lucid crane]

Any good ? 🙂

[sly hawk]

Yes, that was absolutely much better. - I played around with the curve, sent my version back - only for the agency account director to say "oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you - the samples are still with the photographer and he's just re-shot them"

[vapid flume]

Welcome to the club 🙂

[sly hawk]

lol. It's all good. - That was like... 6 jobs ago now 🙂

Next I have a client asking if I can edit his DWG files

I'm pretty sure the last time illustrator could handle DWG was about 2010.

[vapid flume]

Last week I had samples of wallper to to grade, retouch and turn into repeat pattern. They said "well just like the other job"
Turns out the photo studio "forgot" to shoot them flat on the wall. So they aren't evenly lit and all curved!
For this job, I am paid hourly, so more work = more money.
But in the case it would have been a project charge, I'd have renegociated the fees...

There is a reason why I wanted this job to be hourly, and every day confirms my decision 🙂

[sly hawk]

JEEESUS. - That's awful.

[vapid flume]

You're obviously biased 🙂

[sly hawk]

Repeat pattern and they aren't evenly lit and all curved! - I'm surprised you're even trying.

[vapid flume]

Not the first time neither!

[sly hawk]

ahh. - ok. Maybe the youtube video was out of date. I'll boot up AI and try it!

[vapid flume]

Don't tell the client, but generally I tend to recreate the design, but cutting all the elements and distribute them on a background (does it make sense?) I am not distorting the images unless it's super straightforward. Luckily some are very abstract shapes on a slightly textured background so easy enough to do

[sly hawk]

Bugger me, it worked.

[vapid flume]

BOOM! 💥

[sly hawk]

Yeah. Makes sense. - I've made a pattern repeat on a basic wallpaper/carpet by just using like a 3cm square.

since it was just some checkerboard looking thing anyway

[vapid flume]

So basically I retouch the close up trying to match as well as possible so the shapes aren't distorted visually, but when it comes to the repeat patterns, I try to reproduce them "digitally", so I would create the background using a sample from a well-lit area, making a repeat from the background then cut out all the shapes, making them straight and everything and composite the shapes onto the background.

The repeats end up on a mock up I create from photos, so they aren't meant to be scrutinised in a close up

The only important thing is that the texture feels real and the design and colours are matching

[vapid flume]

We gotta do what we gotta do!

[foggy ore]

Do y'all know what font is this

[vapid flume]

Could be impact, could be something else!

Hello, I have this only image that I want to retouch, the quality is very poor

Should I use Lightroom, Photoshop and which tool (perhaps AI tool) to improve quality, remove noise, colorize and upscale ?

[lucid crane]

Well you could certainly try Photoshop > Filters > Neural filters > Colorize and photo restoration and see if it works for you

[open mica]

I tried it's very bad

The super zoom doesn't seem to work

And the AI denoise of Lightroom "does not work on this picture" ^^

[open mica]

Now, it looks like a "gueule cassée" from WWI haha !

[vapid flume]

It depends on the magnification X you've put in. I would stay within the 2x 3x range max

[open mica]

I put 3x or 4x

Is there a Topaz upscaler similar feature within Adobe suit ?

What should I do to remove the noise?

[vapid flume]

The issue with those automatic system is that it works well when it's obvious what the shapes are. When there is no recognition possible, then the things tries to "invent" the missing bit. That's where you'll have to do it by hand.
There is a nice noise removal feature in Lightroom, but I think it's only available for Raw files

I wouldn't know for Topaz, I don't really use that kind of plugins

The scan doesn't look tip-top 🙂
Is that your scan (a member of your family perharps?) or is it an image you found online for practice purposes?

That highlight on the top left looks like it's a photo with a ray of light and not a scan, although it's so small I can't really see

[ashen carbon]

hey. Recently I get the message OpenCL is not available. I have an Nvidia 3060, which is also recognized. This has also been updated and is up to date. Photoshop is also loaded with the 3060 by default. How do I fix the problem?

[vapid flume]

Have you checked the compatibility with the dedicated option
and checked if you have the GC optimised in the preferences?

[ashen carbon]

I got this window, like everytime I startet Photoshop

[vapid flume]

that's when you click on advanced settings in my previous screenshot

you can tick "use Open CL"

[ashen carbon]

I cant use it

[vapid flume]

That seems to mean that your GPU is not compatible on that front

Even when I activate I get the same Windows

Well - for 3 days it worked oO its a 3060

[vapid flume]

What version of Open CL your GC supports?

[ashen carbon]

I think it should be 3.0

[vapid flume]

I stumbled upon that
https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/532106/dforce-not-using-gpu-no-opencl-on-rtx-3060
not sure it helps, it's like Wolof to me 🙂

Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in?

[ashen carbon]

it just said, so make a clean reinstall. i can try but I think its not that valid because it 2 years ago, and photoshop worked liked 3 days ago without this error

[vapid flume]

Have you tried an older driver from Nvidia? Just in case

I find maintaining up to date drivers from them pretty tedious

[ashen carbon]

I will try it later :/

[open mica]

Yes the AI Denoise tool is only available for RAW files (https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/how-to-use-the-denoise-filter-in-lightroom-classic-quick-tip/td-p/13900452)

[open mica]

It's for practice purpose, the scan is from the cover of a book.

https://www.decitre.fr/livres/pierre-taittinger-9782845610279.html

I don't find the back cover or a mention of the photography source

[vapid flume]

How did you scan it. Which settings? unless you're showing just a screenshot,. I'm sure youcan do better

I know it's not the same one
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Taittinger#/media/File:Pierre_Taittinger.jpg
(the one in the book is probably a family photo)

There are plenty of places where you can find hi-res old photos to retouch. The library of congress is such a place, where you can find high qulaity images and is completely copyright-free
I used it quite often to work on samples to put on my portfolio when I was still doing that sort of things, because I couldn't show proper commercial work (since they were personal images from clients)

But there's lots of websites specialised in cultural artifacts
https://www.europeana.eu/en

then I removed the blue from the suit...

then according to @vapid flume, I ruined it all by painting his tie 🙂 👔

here is the before/after resolution I get with Upscayl (from 824x912 to 3296x3648)

[vapid flume]

That's where I really don't understand why didn't you scan at a higher resolution (I understood you got the book at hand, maybe it's not the case)

[open mica]

It's a screenshot from the web, not a scan
The picture looks like old (early 1900s) I don't think the original is any better.

[vapid flume]

I had some good results from old images scanned and when I mean old, they were from the 19th century

Not my scan obviously, but I did scan family photos the size of a Carte de visite (The Disderi style) and they ended up something around 6000 px wide, without any of that nasty noise/jpeg compression

it helps a lot because upscaling is always worse than having the real pixel count

Also a proper scanner with some good optics does wonder

[nimble leaf]

Hi, I want to create the second look but when I directly use the screen it makes the cat pinker. But I don't want any color changes. How can I cut the parts outside of the brush stroke behind like the one in the second picture?

[vapid flume]

select your top layer and right click in the layer panel to choose "create clipping mask"

Your top layer will appear like that, with that arrow

that will mean your top layer pixel content will get constrained to the pixel content of the bottom one

Thank you very much

However, yes you could if you use the Photoshop > window > timeline and then make the two parts:
one static like shown but then make the middle square and animate it over the correct number of frames, then export.
It will take some work to do! Masks, layers, animating!

[dapper yarrow]

how do i make something transparent

and also keep it that way when exporting

[river otter]

Hey is there anyway i can get something free cause i need to do something quick and im broke

[strange hull]

sir this is photoshop

[ionic perch]

what would be on your wishlist for a new photoshop feature?

[strange hull]

Ai assistant

And it’s probably happening

Can’t tell ya anything more tho lol

[tardy marsh]

@ionic perch A simple & fast document de-warping and de-skew, perspective warp works for skewing , but it slow for multiple document and Acobat's inplmentation in great. I would like something similar to what Adobe Adobe Scan provides. Or maybe a AI de-skew / de-warp. I have to do this weekly and would save tons of time.

[tardy marsh]

@ionic perch More tools for Panoramas and stitching such as linear stitching where the camera moves vertically or horizontally as apposed to rotating around a singular axis. Useful for photos subject like murals where lens correct starts to fail or scans of large maps, paintings and prints for document archiving. PTGUI and Hugin work but the UI and workflow is a pain and linear stitching is a pain to setup.

What's up with you?
Updates are simply loaded, synchronizations simply start, even though automatic updates and syncs are turned off in the "great" CC?

PS beta works 0, PS v24 only program errors?

Unfortunately, the opinions are piling up and after almost 20 years I'm really starting to think about looking for other tools.

Unfortunately, your functionality has fallen into disarray.

---

Was ist bei euch los?
Updates werden einfach geladen, synchronisationen starten einfach, obwohl in der "tollen" CC automatische Updates und Syncs aus sind?

PS beta funktioniert 0, PS v24 nur Programmfehler?

Leider häufen sich die Meinungen und langsam nach fast 20 Jahren überlege ich wirklich mir andere Tools zu suchen.

Leider sind eure Funktionalitäten ins bodenlose gefallen.

Schade. Ich installier mir jetzt Gimp.....

for generative fill... what would be the best language for a backwards baseball cap.

backwards cap is the closest ive gotten, one out of the three will display it correctly but id like to make it red but if i add red to any spot of the prompt, it puts it back wearing it forward.

thoughts?

Also my selection is pretty solid given how it does it right sometimes, i think i just need to work on the prompt.

[high latch]

how do i use the feature where ai creates things

like you just select an area

type a prompt

and ai makes it

[wide wadi]

how many

[static osprey]

Hello this is somewhat related to PS but on my Lightroom it shows I have 2TB available but on my other programs it is showing I only have 100gb. So I used up 200gb out of 2TB in Lightroom but in PS or other program it is showing that my cloud storage is full at 200gb out of 100gb. Does anyone if I'm syncing wrong or something? Thanks in advance

[dapper yarrow]

help

[sweet field]

Hi! In the newest version of PS, you can select an area and the context bar should show up on the bottom of your screen. You can type your prompt in there.

[dapper yarrow]

can someone help me

[inland creek]

how can i apply camera raw filter to this and not make it 30mb xD

cuz this is low quality

7mb

[hot yarrow]

does anyone know how I can fill the center of this masked object without going through pain?

[inland creek]

select object - paint bucket tool

or select the inside and color fill

[hot yarrow]

Its a masked object so I literally cannot fill the inside

[inland creek]

yeah than you need to make a selection of the inside and while the selection is actibve ad a color fill adjusment layer

[hot yarrow]

And if I try coloring in another layer, the outline dissapears

[inland creek]

.

[hot yarrow]

and magic wand is just not doing it

[inland creek]

ok wait

just do quick selection tool

[hot yarrow]

also doesnt work

it selects the whole thing

if I drag it long enough

[inland creek]

if it is a masked object it should work

[hot yarrow]

Yeah, but thats from a snip and clip. I am dealing with a masked and a outlined thing

[inland creek]

check dms

[sly hawk]

@inland creek - to be fair, this does feel wierd.

You mask something, even then smart object and rasterise it, and it STILL seems to remember the previous pixels when you try and use a simple paint bucket.

[inland creek]

he sent me the psd and after i duplicated the layer and rasterized it, it worked. idk why it doesn't fore some people

How would i make the second image look a little like the first, not exactly js the blur and the colour and the qualloity

[steady girder]

Sorry what do you mean by “look like the first”

[eternal quest]

Hi, I have some text above a backgound image, as in the first image. But if I applied some Gaussian Blur to the text, the ball in the background image would look like it is infront of the text, as in image 2 and 3. In there a method that I can apply some Blur to the text but the inner of the text doesn't go transparent, so the ball in the backgound would not appear in front? Thank you!

[final fractal]

why does this red bar keep appearing behind my layer?

its on all my layers how do i fix this

[strange hull]

The red bar appearing behind your Photoshop layer indicates that you have entered Quick Mask Mode. To exit this mode, you can simply press the Q key on your keyboard, which is the shortcut to toggle Quick Mask Mode on and off. Alternatively, you can click the Quick Mask icon at the bottom of your toolbar. Quick Mask Mode is used for viewing and adjusting active selections, and it represents unselected areas with a semi-opaque red highlight

@final fractal

thank you so much

[spice galleon]

I have a question and please delete if not allowed bit will someone please help me with a small project?

[smoky thorn]

Hello, i have question. How to change the text by the background color?

[sly hawk]

Tell us what the question/request is then.

[sly hawk]

You want to make the text the same colour ad the background?

[sly hawk]

You want the inside edge of the text to stay sharp, but the outside part to be blurry/faded?

[spice galleon]

@sly hawk I have private messages you as I feel that would be easier to explain send things etc

[strange hull]

whats the question

i wanna see

[eternal quest]

yes. The Gaussian Blur makes the text Blur and transparent, I hope the inside of text stay solid.

[smoky thorn]

Actually, I want to remove the text and replace it with the background color in order don’t have text

[sly hawk]

That translates to me as "simply paint over the text in the same red paint colour as the background"

[smoky thorn]

yeah

The problem is that the text is on a PNG image and I cannot cover the text with color

[sly hawk]

oh, why not?

Maybe share more of the image/context because I have no idea what the problem is at the moment.

[spice galleon]

I have dmd you

[smoky thorn]

I want to replace the "William" with the color in the background, only the "William"

[sly hawk]

I'd maybe do it like this then....

So you simply want to REMOVE the word 'william'?

[smoky thorn]

so strong

thanks

[sly hawk]

Probably something like this....

maybe a bit more of this too...

[solid prism]

Anytipsn how can i fix this uneven background?

[sly hawk]

Can you share that pic without the big white circles, and I'll show you

(and preferably without the headshots in)

[vapid flume]

I would honestly create a pattern from a piece of the lines and remove the old one to repace by a repeating pattern layer.

@sly hawk I'm reading WMZ

[sly hawk]

Thanks 🙂

[sly hawk]

One sneaky/lazy trick is this....

[vapid flume]

I'm sure it can help both the OP and you @sly hawk
There 's this website
https://architextures.org/

There's some examples of corrugated repeating patterns ready to us there, although it seems very simple to create from scratch with a couple of straight lines

[sly hawk]

Cheers. - I've been suckered in to helping a mate come up with a logo and build them a website, I know very little about their company except what he wants to call it.

[vapid flume]

If you crate two rectangles with the right colour and one with a gradient overlay to simulate the shadow
Something around that

And then turn that into a repeat pattern (edit> define pattern)

this is what it makes

took me two minutes!

the thing is that you need to flatten the layers before going to "define pattern" (because the option wiill only take into account the selected layer)

or do like I did, create a stamped layer on top, so as not to loose all the work done in case something isn't quite right

and actually it could be only one pixel in height, since it's just need to repeat the shapes horizontally. Mine here is too big for no reason

[brazen elbow]

Hello, ive got a simple question. Im designing this zip up on ps and in order to make it black idk why I inverted the colors. But as you might asume, im having problems adding new ones. Is there any way to eliminate the inversion effects from now on while mantaining the parts that has edited?

thanks in advance

[vapid flume]

The "invertir" adjustment layer is what makes it black I suppose?
Anything on top will not be affected

Maybe invert is not the best way to go about this?

Can you show how is the layer stack without that adjustment layer?

I would just fill the interior of the white lines with black if I had to do it (maybe with a masked solid colour adjustment layer so I could change the black to another colour if I needed)

[brazen elbow]

yes it is

[brazen elbow]

what is the stack layer?

[brazen elbow]

theorically, but when I use feather tool it is still black using red although it wont happen with the brush tool for example

[vapid flume]

The layer stack is all the layers in your layers panel. It has an order and the top layer affect what's underneath it according to its blending mode

If you place your invert layer in the middle of your layer stack, then it will affect only what's below, not what's on top

What made you choose to invert the colour instead of creating a black shape with white cut out lines?
what I assume are these 3 layers there

And more importantly how did you create those lines? (that I assume are black, inverted as black

Because you could just invert those lines (applying an invert adjustment just on that layer, preferably as a smart layer) so your invert layer wouldn't affect all the other layers

I know it's a joke, but it's not funny

Some people might report you 🙂

With good reason

[vapid flume]

With this sentence, I am even more confused of what you want to do... Why would you use the feather tool? There is nothing that warrants a blurred result here. You need sharp shapes

[brazen elbow]

i just had made it black and white background so i chose to invert

[brazen elbow]

those are both pockets and pieza 7 be the entire piece

[brazen elbow]

okay, how can i do this?

[brazen elbow]

i dont know lol, im a beginer so i guess im making many silly mistakes hahaha

[vapid flume]

Are those 3 layers just black lines initially? where did you found them if you haven't created them? Because there might be a simpler way to get what you want.

[vapid flume]

No problem, you got to start somewhere 🙂

[brazen elbow]

i mean i drew them, and they were black yes, so i inverted

[vapid flume]

If I give you a step by stel, then you can follow it and I can explain the why after... Is that OK?

[vapid flume]

So it's not the work of a beginner 🙂

That's a good job

[brazen elbow]

yes sure!

[brazen elbow]

thanks! watched some tutorials

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume

[vapid flume]

First, hide all your layers. You want to keep them just in case, but they are not needed for the moment.
To hide them, just click on the little eye icon nest to the layer

When you're done, tell me, so I can go to step number 2

[brazen elbow]

done

i guess im not hiding the bg

[vapid flume]

OK, now. Take one of your black line for the hoodie, and right click on the layer and choose "convert to smart object". You need to unhide it first, sorry

[vapid flume]

Hide it too

then go to image>adjustment>invert

it will invert the layer only, and by converting it to a smart object, you'll be able to change the adjustment or even delete it.

[rustic monolith]

hello! got a question. How do i extract the hand shadows in pic 1 then place it on the table of pic 2?

[brazen elbow]

okay thanks, imma try

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume

[vapid flume]

You can, but it will be tricky because you'll have to retouch the bit where the shadow cross the gap between the tiles, Which is not the same tone as the ground

But, personnally I would so with blend if, in order to remove all the white from the photo and just keeping the shadow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAMXBYx0r5g

then you'll have to remove the black bits at the top and fill in the gaps left by the tiles

[brazen elbow]

it worked, thanks!

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume

[vapid flume]

Do it for the other two layers now

Do you need the interior of the hoodie black?
Also a question, how did you draw the hoodie lines, is it vector?

[rustic monolith]

wait, where are the black bits?

these?

[vapid flume]

at the top! delete them with the eraser tool or mask them using a mask and a black brush

[rustic monolith]

alright, thank you

[rustic monolith]

i will try this now

[vapid flume]

When you're done, change the blending mode to "multiply", change the opacity to suit according to how it show in the bowl layer

but as I said, you need to retouch those lines with the clone tool before adding blend if

Unless you manage to line them up perfectly, but it seems that the perspective is a bit different

Next time, prepare your photo by putting a white piece of paper (or a bed sheet) on top of the table 🙂

[vapid flume]

I need to go now, so if you still need more help, someone else will fill in (if someone does, it's best to refer to the conversation we have with a link as a way of not explaining everything again)

[rustic monolith]

i'll make sure to do so next time, thank you for the help!

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume

Thank you so much! I got your idea, I applied an inside glow effect to the duplicate text layer below the blur text layer, and it look good.

Guys any tips how I can add fur skin to shark body?

[river otter]

Legacy brushes -> Grass

You can also put original cat body over shark by clipping it, and change blending mode.
After that fix with grass or hair brush.

[viral python]

I unfortunately don't have full cat body bcs it was only a head

but I will try my best, thanks for the brush idea

Hey all. Having an issue with PS. Im trying it out because Windows photo viewer doesnt seem to allow the use of printer profiles (sublimation)

But windows photo viewer seems to be smart enough to print the photo at the correct size whereas photoshop zooms in to the photo and tells me it wont print correctly

I cant seem to fix it nor do I know why Photoshop wants to zoom the photo when an extremely basic prog can print it correctly

[terse rivet]

How could I / or would it be even possible without too much struggle to get rid of the white mark on lens

[scenic schooner]

How can i get rid of the sun lines and make the photo look better? I took while driving so its a bit messed up

[magic swallow]

a bit of a newbie question, but how do i fill the blank region here

[supple moat]

maybe try using clone stamp? or spot healing brush tool

[sly hawk]

Can you share more of the image?

Looks like you can just clone it in from the content nearby

i was drawing in photoshop and i was undoing a bunch of actions and then all my work dissapeared like 80% of my layers, so im back to where i started 5 hours ago 😦 does anyone know how i can go back or something cuz this is so weird

[mortal girder]

Can someone make the “stop” completely red

[rare idol]

it looks a little goofy in full red

@mortal girder

[mortal girder]

@rare idol

Can u try making the red toned down by a lot , it’s too bright too see

Then it’ll look good

U can try with this too @rare idol

@everyone

[rare idol]

@mortal girder

[mortal girder]

Can u just do the “ stop “

[strange hull]

…

[mortal girder]

Just the word “stop” in red

[strange hull]

Why don’t you just do it if it’s your photoshop project

It’s way easier if you have the text layer on its own lol

[mortal girder]

I did it

I’m good now

Idk how to fix the red that’s not filled in fully tho

Can sm1 help with dat

[strange hull]

Just use a paint brush

Or go back

And expand selection a few pixels

[mortal girder]

I’m in photopea I only have a bucket

It’s fine

[strange hull]

Why are you in photoshop server then… lol

[mortal girder]

Idk just cause

My quality is messed up when I do the red @rare idol could u just send it with just the “stop” being in red instead of all of it?

That’s all

And I’ll never come back

i didnt do any saves, i just did it in one day with no breaks ndd stuff :((

is it just rip

[strange pollen]

My exports are coming out really low quality

Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it?

[ripe quest]

Export to PNG

[strange pollen]

That is a png it also looks low quality in photos when I zoom in a tiny bit or resize the logo

Is it my settings ?

[ripe quest]

You can't arbitrarily increase the size of a bitmap and expect the image to remain the same quality. Especially if you're scaling it up a lot.

[strong abyss]

I see a barely noticeable difference on my TN monitor, the avatar gives off a little green tint

[ripe quest]

It's impossible for me to know this. I have no idea what you're doing, the size of the document, how you're exporting it, etc.

I'm not sure what its "supposed" to look like but this doesn't look bad to me.

[keen mantle]

Does anybody know how to remedy this issue I'm facing? Working on a video game render and I'm changing the color of the eyes via layer mask with color fill and the blending mode set to color. When the color is changed, the color pixelates. Any tips for me?

[bold scarab]

hey could somebody help me please I've got a problem with my Open CL. Whenever I open photoshop an error message pops and says that my Open CL is unavailable

these are the messages that show up. I cannot enable the Open CL in the settings because it is grayed out

[ripe quest]

Are the Nvidia drivers up-to-date? Its easy to check and update with the Geforce Experience app

[bold scarab]

yes nvidia and intel are up to date

photoshop too

i noticed that this problem occurred shortly after updating photoshop

[ripe quest]

"Update the drivers"

It says right there.

[bold scarab]

but i have updated them already i don't know why it is saying that

[ripe quest]

Try a different method. Perhaps use an Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation + Colorize instead of using a Color Fill and a Blend Mode.

[tardy marsh]

Looks to me like the orginal might have been an 8bit, index color PNG. You might need to convert it to RGB first and use the blend tool or create a mask and slightly blur the green gradient a little.

[keen mantle]

Good idea, but it didn't work :(

[keen mantle]

I got Photoshop 3 days ago

It is pretty different from Photopea, so I'm a little lost hearing that

[ripe quest]

It's already RGB, correct?

[keen mantle]

Are you speaking of the channels

[ripe quest]

In the tab, it will say: RGB/8. Its currently covered in your screenshot.

Oh. Never mind. Its a layered document.

[keen mantle]

I can load the original document one second

Yes it's RGB/8

[ripe quest]

Did you import this graphic in from some other source? Was it originally Indexed color?

[keen mantle]

I am not entirely sure what indexed color is. The origin file type is a .BNTX, which is basically Nintendo's version of a .DDS. I had issues converting it to a .DDS so I had to export it as a .PNG.

here's a better view of the pixelation

[ripe quest]

I don't know anything about BNTX files. Indexed color are a limited color palette, only a max of 256 colors available.

[keen mantle]

That's not what this is

[tardy marsh]

I just notice you have a brighness and contrast layer between the eye layer and your color layer. Try reducing the contast, that would likly case the issue.

[keen mantle]

I've done this before and didn't run into this issue

The brightness and contrast hasn't been touched yet unfortunately
