@river otter What you show here is a physical thing. I think it could have been done with an alternative technique such as sun prints or even possibly screenprint. Actually I could tell you more if you'd like to share the link as well.
How to reproduce that in Photoshop would be easy since I suppose there is alot of tutorials that tell you how to mimic ancient processing technique (cyanotype, Callotype, Gum Dichromate prints, or reproduction techniques such as screenprints) but it would help to know a bit more which result you are really looking into

I think that's what "explain" means but I could be mistaken 😉

Just to mention, whilst any certification or qualifications are awesome, it's not the be-all and end-all. Not all agencies are like this:

why is it that whenever i select something in one layer and try to copy in another layer it just makes a new layer instead of pasting it in the selected layer?🤔

[strange hull]

Because that’s how it’s supposed to work

It’s way better lol

It’s why layers exist

[flat wasp]

normally i wouldnt mind but im working with the timeline and when its making a new layer instead of pasting it in the one selected it messes up the frames

it makes a 5 sec long layer and pushes everything away

[strange hull]

Dawg what are you doing on photoshop

U should probably be using a different adobe app for video

They got like 10 to pick from

[steady locust]

Hi, im doing an assignment for school where i have to restore color from an old photograph. I've ran into a problem where when i try to color it in it doens't show it getting color but i can see stuff changing in my layers. Anybody know how i could fix this?

[flat wasp]

i do use animate for the actual animation but now i gotta do an animatic and i like more the brush settings in photoshop

the pencil brush is the main reason im using ps

[vapid flume]

After you've pasted and it creates a new layer, select both the one it just created alongside the one you wanted the pasting to happen and hit CTRL+ALT+E (you can change the shortcut to a simpler one if you want)
It will merge both layers and you'll end up with just one

That's how PS is supposed to work, to minimise mistakes, it creates a new layer so you can easily tweak separately from the rest of the design

[flat wasp]

not the best solution cuz the issue is that the new layer is way longer than the rest and after merge the layers are still offset in the timeline and i have to arrange them correctly

[flat wasp]

when i started this ps project i was able to paste into layer

[vapid flume]

Where do the "copy comes from?

[flat wasp]

idk why it doesnt do that anymore

[vapid flume]

do you copy from another PS document?

[flat wasp]

other layers in the same group

[vapid flume]

Let me think...

If you duplicate instead of copy and pasting does it help? (CTRL+J duplicates)

so you can select using your standard selection method, highlight the layer where you want the selection to "copy", hit CTRL+J, and it creates a duplicate of just the selected area

Basically that's it

[flat wasp]

it still makes a long layer

before

after

and for some reason i cant even merge them lol wtf

[vapid flume]

The issue is that I'm not well versed in Photoshop video features. I barely use it so While I can tell you for standard stuff, I'm not sure it applies to video. Let's see if someone else is more conversant in Video editing.

[flat wasp]

thanks for help though

[vapid flume]

No problem, see if it helps. If not you can also ask your question in the forum, maybe there's someone that will help!

[wraith warren]

ok will try that

[sudden plank]

How can i remove the white to my line? I cannot select subject for some reason

[strange hull]

Use any other method of selection

There’s like 8 tools for a reason lol

[river otter]

how can i keep the quality of an image when downscaling it?

[strange hull]

Pen tool would probably work

[strange hull]

Did you figure it out?

[river otter]

this is super useful thankyou 🙂

[winter ermine]

what's the best way to turn this white crest into blue?

[half kettle]

color range select

and then choose your color and brush over it

Hey guys, I was wondering how I could make this cloud effect on pictures?

Just not too sure how to blend it like that

[wind narwhal]

@half kettle try using a a bigger soft round brush (with the hardness set to 0) and paind black on a layer mask. If you want an organic edge you might try a cloud brush instead of a soft round brush to paint on the edges in order to mask it

hope this helps

[lucid crane]

Is the crest on it's own layer? What resolution is the image?

[cloud meteor]

I have an 5975 x 3361 size image and im trying to crop it into 1920 by 1080 size image

but after cropping the image gets cropped but when i check the image details it shows that the image is still the original size

What to do?

This is my original image

After cropping it it still shows the original size

[strange hull]

Save it and close / reopen

Maybe it’s buggin out

[cloud meteor]

I did, its been happening for 2 days for me

[strange hull]

I mean you can just change it when your export also

[cloud meteor]

I dont get it, im new to photoshop

[strange hull]

When u export at end you can pick the resolution scale

[dusky sandal]

can someone help me with a thingy

[cloud meteor]

it will not affect my image quality will it ?

[strange hull]

Ur always going to lose quality the smaller the image

If you want full image quality you don’t change resolution

[dusky sandal]

braeden

can you help me with a uestion

[cloud meteor]

but like im trying to crop the image shouldnt that keep the quality?

isnt cropping different than resizing the image?

[dusky sandal]

i think its just resizing without making the image smaller and cutting out the other stuff that isnt in the resize

[cloud meteor]

🥲 im sorry, what?

[dusky sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/ltg-lowtiergod-mods-tie-him-up-coal-gif-13955980831715874640

its cropping it but not making it smaller as in your cutting out what you didnt crop within the original image

now

can someone help me with this

trying to make the banana joe be like the same colour scheme as the backround

like make him the dude instead of the normal one

[strange hull]

broo

lol

[dusky sandal]

how do i do this

[strange hull]

Just change the tint should be fine for your use

Lmao

[dusky sandal]

Where is tint

[strange hull]

Hue

[mild wraith]

So if i’m to get this do I get a refund or additional storage space on my cloud?

[strange hull]

Neither

That’s if you don’t have a subscription

[river otter]

hello I downloaded illustrator but I can't download Photoshop

help me

[strange hull]

Well why not

Did you pay for it?

[river otter]

I have school that pays for me

[strange hull]

Then download it

[river otter]

i was able to download illustrator but not Photoshop

it tells me there's a problem

[strange hull]

Well that’s the problem

What’s *

[cold crane]

How do I get the option to free transform text that I can make it curvy like that?

This person made Text, convertet it into a shape and used free transform but I can only move the edges

[river otter]

this

[strange hull]

Try rastorizing it

[strange hull]

What device are you using

[river otter]

computer

[strange hull]

Looks like it’s unsupported

[cold crane]

The layer or can I do that with only the text?

[river otter]

premier pro too

[river otter]

how I fix?

[strange hull]

Get a new pc

In what I’m thinking

[cold crane]

This person does it here but it is so fast I can't figure out what exactly he is doing
https://youtu.be/S3UpkqGAgGk?t=10

[river otter]

only pc

my PC Is not very bad

[strange hull]

Maybe update it

[river otter]

I try

[river otter]

thank you bro

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @strange hull

[cold crane]

Ah I think i found it

Edit > transform > the 7th option.

Idk how to translate. Deform?

[dusky sandal]

@strange hull

how do i like blend the colours?

[strange hull]

Wyou did

You*

What what did you lol lmao

You painted?

Try smudge tool

[dusky sandal]

yeah that worked fine

good enough

[strange hull]

lol

[remote coyote]

Does anyone use Canva & ps?

I’m trying to export my psd file to be used in Canva but it doesn’t seem to retain the frame

[strange hull]

No

Just do everything in ps

sent you a message request

[strange hull]

@dusky sandal I better see the results here

lol

[dusky sandal]

ok

[winter ermine]

No it's a completely flat png file
240px by 240px

[lucid crane]

Then it's going to be very difficult to get a clean result due to the aliasing of the text into the background.

[winter ermine]

Gotcha, alright

[strange hull]

Did you try color range

It might work

[winter ermine]

not sure how that works to be honest

i'll look into it

[strange hull]

I can try in a bit I’m just busy with family right now

[sly hawk]

It's the Metropolitan Police Crest isn't it?

Just get a fresh version 🙂

[winter ermine]

Yeah it is, I have a white version of it but it looks very off

[strange hull]

Yea was just gonna say that

[winter ermine]

i tried throwing the blue version ontop but it doesnt look right

[sly hawk]

???/???

[strange hull]

Just get a different backing image

[dense frost]

Do you know or no? @strange hull

[sly hawk]

Me.

Please don't discuss piracy here on the official, Adobe owned Discord Servers.

[void umbra]

oh sshit

[sly hawk]

It's really akward trying to layer it over the top, so it's better to just remove it entirely and replace it 🙂

[strange hull]

Why’s it gone again?

[void umbra]

sory

[sly hawk]

It's all good! 🙂

[dense frost]

what do you mean?

[strange hull]

He was just asking font

Right?

[dense frost]

yea

[strange hull]

It was Gold Extra Black

[dense frost]

Thank you !

[sly hawk]

What's the end goal anyway. Is it for a website or presentation or something?

What resolution should I use for a mobile wallpaper?

[gaunt heart]

Hi there, would anyone know how I can get the first image to blend into the second?
Essentially cartoonize the first in the same style as the second

Any help would be appreciated :)

[strange hull]

cant be done

but i can slap u on the image lol

[river otter]

Egyptian slate black. 😁

[celest robin]

I need help with how to make my text in my movie poster pop more. Any ideas possibly with vector shapes to put in for the text.

[strange hull]

Just add a stoke

Or a shadow

Or use white text

[gaunt heart]

😂

Surely there's some platform which can cartoonify it

But that'd be outside of Ps

Probably the best I can do

[topaz phoenix]

Probably a dumb question - but I have a bunch of Canvas Presets saved and can't for the life of me figure out how to remove them. Any tips on where they're located or how to remove them?

[winter orchid]

Does anyone know how to make a gradient like this one?

[sweet field]

This is easiest in Illustrator with either adding gradient to a mesh or using the freeform gradient tool.

[strange hull]

like this?

ill make a quick vid if so

What is the best way to keep quality in your images. I make textures for game development and want to know how to keep the highest level of quality in my work. All work has to be set to 2048 by 2048 and sometimes that means scaling down images from 4096 to like 512 to fit the texture. I know you can turn on smart object to help when downscaling images but is there any other way to keeep quality in work as much as possible. Would appreciate any help chur

[topaz phoenix]

Found the Solution on my own.

C:\Users\...\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2024\Adobe Photoshop 2024 Settings there's a file called MRU New Doc Sizes.json
All the saved document sizes are stored there in JSON format, and can be removed easily. Just make sure not to mess up the syntax and you're good.

[topaz phoenix]

Ooooh! Another texture artist.

Inside of PS specifically, they should be all down sampling the same whether you use transform or smart object. Depending on your engine of choice - you may be able to also downscale there as well. If you're using tools like Substance Designer or Painter, it may be better just to export them directly in the desired scale. Alternatively, if you're using something like Nvidia Texture Tools (standalone) - you should be able to export in the desired output size anyways, but NTT also has a Photoshop Plugin as well that might be worth exploring.

Ultimately, your quality is going to be diminished by Block Compression more than the actual scale of the image itself in most cases.

[manic dawn]

For my college class assignment we're making a caricatature of famous people. I am trying to copy paste an ear onto a new layer however it is giving everything but the ear.

Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing that could be causing this?

Layers and paths if that means anything here.

[sturdy belfry]

How can i make this type of art

Any tips?

[river otter]

Thats more modelling no?

If you’re referring to the face in your image I’d reccomend getting into blender

[sturdy belfry]

Oh is there any tutorials

And do i have to start making face on ps and then blender? Or how does it work

[grand stump]

yes. Search for "Blender Tutorial" on YT.

[grand stump]

you can do it on both.

[median forge]

Could someone help me figure out how to use depth maps to make things like these album covers? I did find this Reddit post explaining that depth maps and noise maps were used but I’m not too familiar with either and none of the tutorials I’ve found illustrate things like these. I messed around with the depth blur neural filter but feel far off

If someone could even help me with figuring out some keywords to be googling to learn more about it that would be greatly appreciated

[vapid flume]

Hi!
Depth maps are 3D componenets that shows, generally in two colours, the depth of a 3D scene. You can do that in Photoshop, but 3D features are slowly retiring from Photoshop so I wouldn't advise starting to learn using photoshop because you run the risk of it not working as intended.
You won't find any depth map options within the standard UI of Photoshop but in the 3D workspace, if it's still there. (I personnally made the conscious decission to drop any attempts to work in 3D with PS since they announced the phasing out a few years ago, 3D is already complicated, I don't need that in my life 🙂 )

Do you have a 3D software?

[median forge]

My PS still shows all the 3D workspace stuff, but I agree it seems overly complicated and if they’re phasing it out then no point in learning now.
I have the rest of adobe creative cloud, and used to do cinema4d autoCAD and some other 3d modeling apps and could relearn the basics if I had to.
I guess my hope was that there was an easy way of making this effect just in photoshop as that’s what I use the most and my old MacBook has trouble with 3d stuff

If there’s no easy way to get that look in photoshop though (especially the type of thing in the first image) then I can just try to create it in a different software

[vapid flume]

you may have that showing if you're trying

[median forge]

Yea I hit OK and messed around with different 3d stuff for a bit but wasn’t sure if I was on the right path in creating what I wanted to so I came here

[vapid flume]

The thing is "depth map" means you need to build a model first. That modeling, I doubt you will be abl to do it in PS. You need Substance modeler, Blender, or even Illustrator for simple object. Because you need to create that fabric shape in the first place

[lucid crane]

There is a more controllable version of Lens Blur with depth sensing within Camera Raw

[vapid flume]

Once you've built your model (an .obj) then you need to put it in a scene, with a camera, camera having a depth of firld and the 3D software will generate a depth map from it

A depth map is generally a black and white PNG file

When opened from a subtance pacakage rendered in PSD and opened in Photoshop, it can show as a separate layer in colour

There are lots of tutorials that say "how to create a depth map in Photoshop"

But you need an object within a scene first

[median forge]

I guess what I don’t really get is what step the depth map does in achieving the end result. Like is the 3d object the same look as the final result and the depth map just adds color or is the colored version of the depth map itself the final result?

[vapid flume]

Let's be honest, me neither, I suspect people in the reddit channel are using "depth map" in a different way than I am

It doesn't make sense to me (But I am not saying I'm right). Maybe usage have changed

[median forge]

I just can’t find other examples of people using depth maps to get this kinda art outside of the artist that does it

[vapid flume]

My accepted understanding of the depth map is that it is used with whatever software to extract the depth of field for you to work on a limited area, for example, use the depth map in Photoshop as a mask to apply fog. But you need that scene first! 🙂

[lucid crane]

Perhaps they are just using lots of layers with differing amounts of blur added to simulate depth
It's often referred to as adding parallax depth - often used in AE on stills to animate a dolly move

[vapid flume]

That's possible

[median forge]

Ahh maybe

[vapid flume]

Can't you reach to the people who answered on Reddit and ask to clarify?

[median forge]

I guess so yeah

[vapid flume]

See that tutorial (even if you don't understand the steps) to see what I mean by depth maps
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35cD7nHBh7U

[median forge]

I think I’m just gonna 3d model some stuff and mess with the depths, I’m just hoping the learning curve won’t be too terrible in getting it to look like that first image once in photoshop

[lucid crane]

In photoshop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdYEzui3Ttc

[vapid flume]

What kind of object do you want to model?

[median forge]

I kinda just want to make a trippy looking distorted sky for an image I’m editing, the inspo comes from the sky on this album cover

So as of now I don’t really know what the object will be more so that it will just have depth that allows me to make the sky look like it’s opening up into a bunch of different dimensions like that😂

[vapid flume]

I would have suggested Illustrator for simple, non organic shapes but I guess that won't do it

https://www.instagram.com/jantillert/

that kind of stuff?

[median forge]

Ooooh that would be really cool too

[vapid flume]

It's done in Blender, a 3D software

[median forge]

Yea I’m familiar I’ve just been pushing back the day that I learn blender 😂

[vapid flume]

Don't tell me about it!, I'm still on my second attempt at the Donut guy 🙂

[lucid crane]

Is this getting there?

[vapid flume]

This software is insane, I much prefer substance, but my computer disagrees with me

[median forge]

Similar yeah

[vapid flume]

Just in case you have the opportinity and you want to start over with a much simpler interface than Blender's you can see that (provided that you have loads of GPU power at your disposal)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUuLwAw1HsY

and https://www.adobe.com/uk/creativecloud/3d-ar.html

[median forge]

Cool thanks

Might see what I can do in cinema 4d

[lucid crane]

Your inspo pic reminded me of this: https://www.iis.fraunhofer.de/en/ff/sse/affective-computing/ims/tech/inline-glasspannungsinspektion.html

[median forge]

Woah that looks cool

[vapid flume]

I keep sharing Jan's profile with people who want to do that kind of things, and I think he should do a course on Blender (that guy is so young and talented!)
Give him a like or two on his insta posts! (say Auntie Sandrine made you do it 😂)

[median forge]

Lol will do

[lucid crane]

You can do something similar in PS using curves on a cloud image then blur.

[median forge]

True

Or I guess any surface with texture and depth

I’ll mess around with that too

[median forge]

I’m gonna go to bed but I’ll try my hand at this through 3d modeling that curves method but if anyone sees this later on and has ideas on how to create something like the sky in this pic, I’m all ears!

[manic dawn]

Does anyone have any idea?

[vapid flume]

Can you share the whole of your Photoshop window? particularly the panels, like layers panels etc, as yours is not really helping here

like that

[manic dawn]

Oh yeah sure one sec.

[vapid flume]

Where do you take the ear from?

[manic dawn]

She had us cut it out with the pen tool and copy it from the paths

[vapid flume]

So you need the same ear as this guy placed onto the same guy?

[manic dawn]

ye

caricature and modifiying the body and what not

[vapid flume]

So the issue here is that your path is inverted, your ear is grey on the path visualisation while it should be white like the outline is

do you see what I mean?

so basically if you use that path (ear) as a selection or vector mask, it will result in everything but the ear showing, you need to invert the mask

[manic dawn]

Oh simple enough

[vapid flume]

The thing is, are you using the path as a selection to be used as a standard mask or as a vector mask directly?

because the ways to invert it will be different depending

in the originals folder you use the outline as a selection, but you can apply the vector path directly as a mask

That depnds what you have been asked to do

[manic dawn]

I will be honest, I dont really know the difference between the two so I will explain what I was doing.

I was right clicking off the paths layer and making a new selection that way

Then would make a new layer using control J.

Idk if thats helpful or not but

[vapid flume]

That's a vector mask

[manic dawn]

Oh yeah not that then

we've never used that in our class

[vapid flume]

OK, so do as you've done in the past, create the selection from the path, then apply it as a mask (you won't see anything) yhen select the mask go to select>invert selection (CTRL+I)

First before inverting, and then after inverting
You want it to look like the ear is in white (not black)
"Black conceals, white reveals" That's the mantra

[manic dawn]

In the video example each body part was a new layer. It wouldn't be possible to make that mask a new layer would it?

Video example here

[vapid flume]

Yes, make a selection of the part you want (using the path as selection) and selecting the original layer (keep the selection active), hit CTRL+J (copy from layer)

That might be beneficial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqqVmGxvHaY
honestly, if your aim is to learn, try to keep it with masks instead of cutting the layers. Masks make it possible to correct, or finesse the selection while cutting directly from a layer is considered a bit barbaric 🙂
Using mask is the more efficient way to do it

[manic dawn]

Thank you

[arctic delta]

i had to build a house model & insert it into photoshop, now idk how to edit it so it doesn't look so fake haha, any suggestions?...

thanks in advance xD

[supple moat]

first, correct the exposure

or use levels/ curve

adjusment

whichever you are comfortable with

[steady jewel]

anyone can tell how do i start learning photoshop

[supple moat]

you can do a course on youtube

[void sandal]

Hey please I'm trynna make a chrome 3d text and this is what's happening

[steady jewel]

any suggestions?

[supple moat]

there's alot of different ones , whats your preffered length?

[void sandal]

Anyone knows whats happening here

[steady jewel]

anyone that teaches in detail, so maybe 30 minutes for single vid

[supple moat]

you can use any basic course for that, after doing a basic cource (usually vids of 3-6 hours) you can do specific courses, like color grading or graphic design... gimme a min ill send you a link on dm of a youtube course i did

[steady jewel]

Okay , thanks for helping out

[supple moat]

here's the one i did

[sly hawk]

Hey, I feel silly for asking this, but how on each do I make my trace on the right... look like the image on the left?

like the pencil brush effect?

The shape on the right is currently a SHAPE and not a PATH

oh, ok. - found it.
I can't do it until I literally make my own matching PATH from the shape.

[bitter jungle]

which application (free) for drawing is best?

[cold spruce]

I am having trouble in merging a logo on a clicked image, I have tried perspective warp and puppet warp, auto blend etc, but I can't. Can someone help me with this and tell me how to do this?

[pallid umbra]

Does anyone know why my smart object layer won't update in the main project?

[bitter jungle]

What do you think about this gesture drawing, is it good? what can i do to improve

[supple moat]

im not that good in drawing or anything but i feel the necks to big? also the legs feel kinda same, maybe add some prespective to the left leg

[river otter]

Because you have effects on it.

Click the Smart Object with effects and again make Smart Object, try after that.

I had the same problem few days ago.

[strange hull]

photoshop 3d printing was abandoned years ago

[river otter]

What is the difference between the 3 with purpose to highlight some areas more:

1. Adding exsposure or vibrance, layer mask, and brush parts to highlight them.
2. Use dodge tool.
3. Add 50% grey layer and use dodge tool on it.

[desert minnow]

For storage not sure if there is a browser based or software option

[strange hull]

what about this

https://new.express.adobe.com/

[desert minnow]

That’s not the same as photoshop and illustrator it’s just a simplified mobile version

Anyone have experience renting a cloud based pc and using it for Adobe CC?

Well ofc it’s not

If your pc can’t handle photoshop your out of luck

You gotta either get a better device or compromise with express

[desert minnow]

I have good internet and there are ways to rent virtual machines or cloud based pc through aws and Microsoft but I’m not familiar with it at all was hoping someone else would be.

uhh

Idk

[strange hull]

If you're looking to return to the "normal" color picker you're used to, you should check the image mode and make sure it's set to 8-bit or 16-bit, depending on what your normal workflow is. Look for an option in your image editing software to change the image mode, which is often found under the 'Image' menu, in the 'Mode' submenu.

So, I have a question that's more Creative Cloud generic than Photoshop specifically. I want to change where CC apps get installed to an SD Card (I'm on a laptop, and storage is very limited), but it says I can't install to a removable drive. I understand why this is, because moving to another computer with it could cause issues, but I don't intend to move to any other computers, it's just because of storage limitations for my C: drive. Does anyone know how I can bypass this limitation somehow?

[strange hull]

@gentle bough

[strange hull]

you dont want photoshop on s SD card 💀 💀

thats not the solution

[spiral osprey]

Hmm, any reason in particular you say that?

[strange hull]

you need a ssd or harddrive

not a sd card

too slow

[spiral osprey]

I'm fine with slow, my pc already barely meets minimum specs (integrated graphics)...

[strange hull]

and prob not evven wsupported

just move other stuff to the sd card

use photoshop on harddrive

[spiral osprey]

Alrighty, well what about a USB connected SSD (which I do have), it's 1.5 terabytes, as opposed to my C: drives 128 gigabytes of storage. It's USB 3.2 (so it's got some speed to it), Cretive Cloud errors with that. Any idea with using it on that?

[strange hull]

🤷‍♂️

[spiral osprey]

Alright, final question. Does uninstalling any Adobe apps mess with what's saved to Cloud Storage, or saved locally?

(Project wise I mean)

[strange hull]

if its saved in cloud u can delete localy

[spiral osprey]

I want to uninstall the apps, but don't want to mess up my Cloud Saved or Locally Saved projects, is what I meant.

[strange hull]

you can

but the files are usless unless u reinstall

[spiral osprey]

I know, I will, there is a plan.

Thanks!

[loud moat]

Could be worth reaching out directly to Adobe - they have offline installers that might not have that limitation. Not 100% sure whether it does or not, so worth a try. Definitely give Adobe support a hoot anyways.

[spiral osprey]

So, I actually got it to work. Basically, when you create the partition, you can set it up so it mounts as a folder on the C: drive, which tricks Creative Cloud into working.

[gaunt heart]

Would anyone know how I could remove all of the white corners surrounding the circle?
Trying to remove the background for everything but the circle and text...

[sinful sky]

I would think using the magic wand tool to select the circle and then control x to cut and control v to make a new layer with the circle, then delete the old layer

The old layer should just be the corners

[wide wadi]

can you make things flash and glow

Like a gif

[gaunt heart]

Tried that and it said "Could not use the magic wand because the target is a group."

Wait got it working

But it's just selecting different parts inside the circle

[sinful sky]

Hm

[gaunt heart]

Solved it, just selected the white parts and cut them out

[sinful sky]

[gaunt heart]

No better feeling than solving a Ps problem

Hello, I'm wondering how Youtubers get such high quality images of streamers (especially when enlarged) on their thumbnails.
I have tried just screenshotting the webcam, but it turns out in low quality (especially when enlarged). Any ideas? Thanks.

[vapid flume]

If I remember well, there is a still extraction function in OBS?... Not a screenshot but a still extraction from the .mkv file. Otherwise I would expect Premiere to have that kind of stuff.
Maybe someone more acquainted will clarify. Screenshots are dependent on your screen resolution and "quality". Also not everyone streams with a webcam. I live streamed once and in tests phases, I tried both my camera and webcam and the camera was way ahead in terms of quality (Even if my webcam's not bad). The only reason I didn't use my camera was that the HDMI converter started to generate heat in way that I didn't see it being safe for more than 1 hour.

But I had a very bog standard gear and accessories and since I didn't intend to stream again, unless asked, then I didn't want to invest.

[vapid flume]

There is the texture of paper, that you can find about everywhere
On stock websites, scanning your own old books or taking old books from websites like internet archive and extracting the blank pages at the start of the books, in order to overlay them onto your drawing etc.
https://stock.adobe.com/uk/search/free?k=paper+texture&search_type=usertyped

concerning the texture/style of the drawing, I would think it's coming from either the paper texture as placed on a top layer, and/or a specific type of brush with some texture added in the brush settings.

[vapid flume]

You could simply "invert" the content of the layer because given the low resolution of the text I doubt you'd be able to extract the text only from the rest of the image (image>adjustment>invert)

Or personnally, if I knew the font of the text, I would delete it and type it again with the right font and colour, that would be the best way

[stoic ginkgo]

I tried that, this issue is even if I get the text black i can't change the overall lightness difference between it and the background
I did find a way to get around that through making it greyscale and messing with the brightness and contrast, though

[stoic ginkgo]

But what I ultimately ended up doing was closer to this, albeit not as elegantly lol

[vapid flume]

Yes it's tricky, with larger text and less jagged edges you could easily select and extract the text from the rest and work on each layer independently,. From what I see here it would be difficult.

I don't know what font is it, but it looks like that from the close up 🙂
https://opengameart.org/content/bitscript-true-type-font

[stoic ginkgo]

The ambiguous pixels make it hard, cause even if I did extract it into another layer there's still the issue that I need the blue-white pixels to become a mix of the new two colours
I can get them half black or half the other, but idk how I'd do it for both

If only I could like, turn the blueness into transparency
So the bluer the pixel the less opaque it becomes
Then it'd be easy lol

[vapid flume]

I could only see selecting them pixel by pixel and tweak the opcity accordingly, but noone is going to do that! 🙂

You could try blend if
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ9oEwhAfKY

Basically you tell one colour to appear transparent and you choose the amount of transparency by moving the sliders

Your blue isn't a straight blue there so I'm not sure it will work

I would really redo it, I know know why it is important to you to keep such jagged lines (They don't make for either an easy reading, nor an aesthetically pleasing type)

At the end of the day, unless you are forging a document 😂 a beatufiful result is what counts best!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHU03kD6Q90
This one too

[stoic ginkgo]

This is what I ended up with

I just got a decoding of this awful cursive and redid it with solid colours as faithfully as I could lol

[vapid flume]

Yes, there was an anti aliasing on the type so as to mimic soft edges and that mades it difficult to select or tweak

[stoic ginkgo]

Anti-aliasing my beloathèd

[vapid flume]

I can't even decide if it's a mix or roman letters and Japanese Iragana, or something else entirely

[stoic ginkgo]

That's what I was thinking! That second last one is meant to be a T but I swear it's a hiragana lmao

[turbid hazel]

Hi. I'm trying to make a sunburst like effect with polar coordinates.

But it's pixelated and the center isn't exactly center-y

[turbid hazel]

like it isn't perfectly dot in center

[vapid flume]

The issue is that you get straight lines and they are transformed into angled lines. If your original isn't at a large resolution that will happen (to be honest, it will happen even at large resolution, but you can circumvent it by adding a bit of blur to imitate anti aliassing). What is the pixel size of your original?
As for the center, From my recollection, if your layer/canvas is square, it should be centered, so maybe there is a little discrepency between height and width?

At the end of the day, this is a filter, not something that deal with vectors that are mathematically exact. If you need an exact sunburst, I would do it with vector shapes (relatively easy, although longer than a one-click filter)

[turbid hazel]

do you have a tutorial for doing it with vector shapes?

I'd like it to be perfectly in terms of angles I don't want to eyeball it

[strange hull]

well should u be using a diff program for vectors?

this is photoshop

[vapid flume]

I will try to find one. That something that could be automated with Illustrator (via the transform function or by building a radial pattern) but these functions do not exist in Photoshop, so it has to be done manually

[turbid hazel]

ok, thank yo uvery much!

[strange hull]

try using illustrator im sure its much more straightforward there

[vapid flume]

You can absolutely work in vectors in Photoshop but there are less functions than in Illustrator. It's still possible ans as long as you export in a vctor format (.svg, eps etc) the result will be similar

[strange hull]

I know, just suggesting

[vapid flume]

I couldn't find a specific tutorial for a sunbeam using vector shapes, but first of all you can read that
https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/drawing-shapes.html

when you're comfortable working ith vector shapes, and in order to to create it remember a few things

[turbid hazel]

thank a lot! i will take a look

[vapid flume]

1- clearly mark your center using guides, because you will need to place your centre of rotation in the center of your canvas
2- create your triangle, compute how many triangles you need to make your sunbeam. Divide 360 (degrees) by this number it will give you the rotation angle of each triangle compared to the previous one
3- Copy your triangle once and move to rotation centre to the intersection of the two guides you set up in #1

4- once done go to the properties and type + the number you found in #2
in the case 0+angle (type in the mathematical , logical equation directly in the field)

so imagine you need 10 triangles to make your sunbeam, you'll need a 360 degrees/ 10 triangles to compute the rotation: 36 degees. So in our rotation field we will type in whatever number there is + 36 (0+36 in the screenshot)

You'll see that second layer rotating by 36 degrees from the centre (since you moved the rotation point) and the first layer not moving

5- repeat by copying the second layer, move the rotation point if needed, and add our angle to the number displayed (36 +36 in our case)
6- rince and repeat 7 other times to make 10 layers or whatever number you decided in #2

[vapid flume]

It's because not everyone has illustrator, not if you're on the base standard Photoshop subscription, so we have to make it work for Photoshop! But agree it would be way simpler in Illustrator.

So now, you'll have exact lines that will not get jagged if you enlarge them. Just a caveat, we are dependent to the resolution and quality of our screens, so sometimes vector lines can appear a bit jagged, but that's because screens will still have a limitation. If you save the resulting sunbeam in a vector format, then it will be mathematically correct and will display, print or project at the best possible quality that the output device can do. Internally, the file is 100% mathematically correct. Which is absolutely not the case when you create something in raster format (like when you use the filter)

[cloud meteor]

hey
im sorry but the issue i was having that day still isnt fixed for me, can someone help please

My cropped image isnt changing dimensions

[vapid flume]

Can you recap what you are doing (which tools are used to crop etc) alongside a FULL screenshot of your UI?
like that

[cloud meteor]

yes a sec

[vapid flume]

No problem

[cloud meteor]

so i have this image wiht these dimensions

im using this crop tool

[vapid flume]

I'm still not seeing your entire screen, that's important 🙂 Screenshot it with the crop tool selected

[cloud meteor]

after i select that tool

[vapid flume]

Also, do you change the image size as well, or was it just to show me the dimensions?

[cloud meteor]

i mention the dimensions 1920 by 1080

[cloud meteor]

it was just to show the original image dimensions

[cloud meteor]

here now after clicking on crop tool i input the dimensions 1920 by 1080

[vapid flume]

OK
So you are changing an image that is 5600 pixels approx to one that is 1920 approx

is that right?

[cloud meteor]

yes

and then

after i click the check

confirm thing

[vapid flume]

That's how it should work as you indicate that you want to change the size 🙂

[cloud meteor]

it crops the image

[vapid flume]

Yes that's what you asks it do do with the crop tool

[cloud meteor]

now since i have cropped y image

shoudlnt

it also change my dimensions

but my image dimensions still remain the same

[vapid flume]

So you want it at 1920, with the 16:9 ratio on?

[cloud meteor]

yeah i want the image cropped, and after cropping the image dimensions will change automatically

correct

?

[vapid flume]

Whatdo you get here?

ratio, or dimension?

[cloud meteor]

just a sec let me try

yes that works

[vapid flume]

if you want to change the dimensions: type in 1920 x 1080 x 72 dpi in the WxHx resolution panel

if you select ratio, it only takes the ratio into account and not the dimensions

[cloud meteor]

oh

thanks a lot

[vapid flume]

No worries. If you use the same crop a lot, consider making it a preset

that way it will appear in the list

[cloud meteor]

ohh i see

will this make me lose some details in the image

after cropping?

[vapid flume]

Yes, since you change its size, there is always a loss when you upscale or downscale. It's less visible when you downscale but it will make you lose some

The methods in which Photoshop "invent" or "cull" the extra pixels are called interpolation. That's what you see in your "image size" menu next to "resample"

Automatic is OK, it decides based on what the image will end up at

[cloud meteor]

ohh understood, thanks again 🙏🏼

[vapid flume]

If you want to change it as PS level, you need to go to "preferences>general" and change it there. I always put bicubic automatic, but I guess automatic is the same

You're welcome! 🙂

hello guys i'm new here and i wanna some help please i didn't found it on ytb (Decreasing mask)

i want to put a flag into a logo and both of them look like one logo

i wanna put the moroccan flag into the white logo

[vapid flume]

You can easily by using clipping masks
You will have your base layer (the logo + possibly the text) onto which you will clip the flag.
Check that explanation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyWplm5X-lU

In your case, I would group both the text and logo and clip the flag onto the group, so it will look like that

Hello. Is there something i can do to make the the brush in liquify tool not lag when i change its size? Like 10% of the time it works smoothly, but the other 90% of the time when i press alt+right click to change its size it wont budge until i move my mouse a lot to the size, when it will jump up or down in size way past the point i want. Its very frustrating.

My Gpu is a 3090 and its drivers are up 2 date. So is photoshop. This has been an issue for me through 2-3 years now in all patches of photoshop.

[dry swallow]

can anyone help me get the same colors for the circles?

[rough idol]

hii im new to PS and I need help with gradient maps

So basically, I want to apply a gradient map to 1 layer (the layer is some rasterized text that has iris blur around the edges, the colour is white.) Whenever I use clipping mask on my adjustment layer to the text layer, the colours from the gradient map disappear. The gradient map's colours only appear if the adjustment is applied to every single layer (its not on clipping mask).

How do I apply the gradient map to that one text layer without the colours disappearing?

Another thing is I want the gradient to be independent of the background, because it only works on a black background. When I remove the background, the gradient goes away.

TL;DR:

• I want the gradient map to be on 1 layer, however it keeps disappearing when I make it a clipping mask
• I want the gradient map to work even on a transparent background, because currently it only works on a black background, and disappears if its transparent.

why does the gradient map work fine when its just a solid colour + some blur, but only when its not in a clipping mask?

I feel like ive done something really dumb here and that the solution is easy as, but please lmk 😛

[dry swallow]

can anyone help me?

how to exactly copy this format

[elfin orbit]

Hello,

I recently purchased and installed Photoshop (version 25.1). When I launch it, whether through Creative Cloud, the .exe file, or as an administrator, I get the same error message, and then it closes.

I uninstalled all Adobe files from my PC and reinstalled Photoshop from Creative Cloud. I disabled Windows firewall, reinstalled graphics drivers, and even tried installing an older version (22.2), but nothing is working so far :/

Configuration :

Windows 10 Family
Nvidia RTX 2060 Super
Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core 3.59 GHz
B450 Steel Legend
48.0 GB DDR4 RAM

Please help me.

[strange hull]

Sign out and sign in back to the Adobe app

if that fails

Search for Command Prompt in the Windows search box.

Run the following command:

for /F "tokens=1,* delims= " %G in ('cmdkey /list ^| findstr /c:"Adobe App "') do cmdkey /delete %H

It clears the Credential Manager storage for all the Adobe apps.

(i just googled the code it gave you btw)

You can do it by applying a gradient as layer style

Check this video for more info!

[unreal stone]

works! thanks!

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume

[vapid flume]

This one is hard because there is probably nothing to recover, no details, so Lightroom won't help much, and a levels/curve layer in Photsohop neither. So you'll need to create the lost details by either overlapping the area from another image, or even try a generative AI fill by selecting the area and ask Photoshop to replace it by something else

[vapid flume]

You're welcome!

[native lichen]

does anyone know what particles those are i rlly need them

they arent from the gfame

its from the editing software

[devout igloo]

Thank you for your response, I figured miracles weren't possible, but that's okay. It will allow me to learn a bit about how to use the software. Thanks for this idea, I will try to apply it.

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume

[vapid flume]

You're welcome. Lightroom would have helped if the image was in Raw format and there was still some details to recover. If it happen again and in order to make the most of lightroom, you can make sure you shoot in Raw format, and also take a few underexporsed pictures so you can recover some details

[vapid flume]

I've seen similar stuff in After effects, but your image is so small it's difficult to get any details really

[hardy maple]

is this the right way to go about erasing/cleaning up a vector?

[strange hull]

im gunna say hell no lol

that would take forever

[hardy maple]

really how should I tackle this?

[strange hull]

so your just trying to remove the particle's right?

[hardy maple]

well there's a lot

but the first thing I should ask is

if i rasterize the layer will it lose quality

I got jpg's back from my designer and then I had to convert to a png in order to lose the black background

the difference

[strange hull]

little confused on what your goal is

because it looks like you wanted that design to begin with

[hardy maple]

I actually cleaned up the image on my own using the before method to this

the problem is,

I realize that this was a big error because I rotated it some desgrees and it took a part a way from the brand to "move forward" because as you can see it looks still

I also isolated the leg and arm as you can see so it changed the place it was in

so even if I were to rotate it back it still looks funny

[strange hull]

i mean i guess just erasing/masking some would work

but theres probably a easyer way out there

@hardy maple this is what i got just deleting some of the particles

not sure if thats the goal

[hardy maple]

great for legs

upper body a mess

particles needed because spefically this design has it

this is the one with less particles

but its crooked, not "moving forward"

another problem is that their legs aren't one in the same

there's gaps

[strange hull]

why dont you just design one

then change colors

so they are all the same

anyways i gtg, gl

[hardy maple]

That's what I wanted to do but if you look closely you'll see there all made up of different graphics

like one has a high contrast than the other whereas this one is black with a white hue behind it

I cant even access the website on desktop, its like a blackscreen infinite loading screen

[vestal palm]

its a psd file

does anyone have repair software

or anything to help me

[wind narwhal]

Try downloading an older version of Photoshop. Sometimes it might be a compatibility issue or just a bug

[vestal palm]

does anyone have repair software, i can send the file if you want

its for an animated series

[vapid flume]

Pleased don't post jobs here. We do not have a job board. Consider contacting freelance designers there https://www.behance.net/hire
where there is a payment system in place

[vapid flume]

If you apply a gradient map, it takes its cue from the highlights and shadows of the file it's attached to. in your case the text is white and there is no shadows, just highlight. Consider using a standard gradient instead of a gradient map. They are two different things

[vapid flume]

if you switch from the move tool to the selection tool (any of them you'll be able to move the selection area, if you use the move tool, you'll cut this area (and the layer content that is highlighted in the layer panel).

[vapid flume]

you need to turn your path into a selection (right click on the canvas with your path selected and you'll find the option) and hit SHIFT+CTRL+J to cut that part and paste it in another, new layer. It's the same as Layer>new layer via cut

you'll have now two layers. One with the area you want to keep and one with the rest only (and a hole where he area should be). You can delete that later one

[jagged sequoia]

Sandrine can you edit a photo for me 😦

You’re so smart the hell hahaha

[vapid flume]

No, but I can teach you how to do it!

[jagged sequoia]

On my phone? 😬 all I have

[vapid flume]

Sorry, but no (You can have a simplified version of Photoshop on your phone BTW)

https://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop-express.html

Ask in #💬chat-general maybe someone will accept to do it?

[white tree]

Has anyone seen the issue where you change the colour on a layer and it doesnt change on the image.

Edit
Found the issue - I had a style on the folder as well as the layer

[blissful reef]

Please do anyone have a video recommendation on how to make someone hold a paper on photoshop

[strange hull]

Your already holding it

[vapid flume]

Depends what you are starting with and assuming that the photo you shared is your end result. Clarification would help here 🙂

[strange hull]

Not sure what he’s asking g if he’s already holding the paper

[blissful reef]

A selfie of a person then make him or her hold a paper

[strange hull]

Easy if it’s just flat paper no creases or anything

[blissful reef]

Yea a video can help please can you recommend one for me

[vapid flume]

You still didn't answer the question 🙂
what are starting from? a Photo? do you want to write something on the paper that isn't in the original photo?
Please be clear with what you want, and we'll find a video. I am not a mind-reader!

[blissful reef]

Just a clear selfie of someone, then make the person hold a white paper in the selfie that’s all I ask for

[vapid flume]

So you don't have a photo? so you need to find an image first, I suggest going to a stock website like Adobe stock
see
https://stock.adobe.com/uk/search/free?k=holding+a+paper&search_type=usertyped

Unless you use generative AI for that Photoshop works when you already have an image. It's a Photo manipulation software, so basically you need to start with a photo 🙂

Then if that's what you want we can find a video to explain how to put a text on the paper

[blissful reef]

I mean selfie like this then make the man on the background hold a white paper

[vapid flume]

Then you need to find a photo on a stock website, Photoshop will not create it for you

Looks like David Beckam by the way

yeah it's written on the photo 🙂 🤦‍♂️

[blissful reef]

Sorry about that

[vapid flume]

No need to be sorry, the face palm was directed at myself 🙂 . You just make it a bit tedious to be helped, if you don't have the selfie, then you need to find a photo elsewhere, but Photoshop won't help you finding a photo.
You need to have an idea of what kind of person you want to be in the photo and type in your request in the search bar of a Stock Photo website

Photoshop will help you place a text, or a piece of paper into the hands of someone, but you need to have that someone's photo in the first place.

[blissful reef]

Okay I’m searching for one now

[vapid flume]

OK

It's best you find someone already holding a piece of paper if you're a beginner, because adding hands, a piece of paper etc, is not a beginners' job.

And a video won't help if you don't know your way around photoshop

But adding some text onto a blank sheet of paper is relatively easy

Again, it helps if you know the basic functions

[blissful reef]

I’m not a beginner though,I think a video can help me through

Found this pic

[vapid flume]

OK, so you'll need to add a piece of paper (so you need a pice of paper to start with and composite it into the image
To add the text, check this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y7sOoNLwRU

Once you found your piece of paper you can follow this tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgB_oO4xt1A
and place the text on the paper once you've done this

[blissful reef]

Okay thanks so much

[vapid flume]

You're welcome!

Hello

Can anyone help me make my logo

I already have a rough sketch of it

[vapid flume]

Ask in #💬chat-general , this is the appriopriate channel for this (although we do not host a job board here, so...)

[frigid current]

Hi, I'm making a menu pack for my Minecraft server. I need a lot of menus, but I don't know why, Photoshop makes me some kind of gradients on the sides of my images. When I save, everything is pixelated with the gradients on the sides. How can I solve this problem? Here's a video showing the problem.https://youtu.be/xKquE6KdbHI

[lucid crane]

It's because you are resizing the image within photoshop - so it's aliasing the edges. If you look at those edges before resizing you'll see they look ok.

[frigid current]

I can't stop it?

however, when I use the same 2 images in paint.net, the image is directly the right size, without having to change its size. But the problem is that in paint.net, I don't have the layers with the writing etc...

[lucid crane]

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with paint.net Somewhere the sizes are different.

[civic dirge]

I need syllabus for Photoshop to learn

[river otter]

Whats the best way to keep quality as much as possible when downscaling a image? I have a 5000x5000 image that needs to be downsized to like 512 below and the problem is when i do that the image turns to really bad qual, I have smart object on that helps a bit but im wondering surely theres a better way to keep the quality in my work when I have to scale it down

[twin sail]

hi, it moves the selected image, in gimp it only moves the selection

@vapid flume the red one is photoshop, the black one is gimp (how i want it in photoshop)

[vapid flume]

In that case, go to select>transform selection

If you do it often, just assign a shortcut key to it

[river otter]

Anyone know good websites to find really nice textures. Looking for a diamond leather stitching texture and a snake skin type texture

[river otter]

🤣

[frank needle]

how do i make a brush like this in photoshop

[twin sail]

how do i go about making an pircture look old like this picture (attachement)

[river otter]

black and white +add noise

• mess around with curves

[twin sail]

it is also kinda blurry in some areas

[lucid crane]

If you look at your example image you’ll see that it has a quite restricted contrast range. There are no real whites or blacks. The blurriness that you mention is due to camera and lens that took the picture. You can simulate this in the camera raw filter using the lens blur beta. When adding noise be gentle 🙂

[frank needle]

HEY ANSWER ME FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!

[lucid crane]

If you look in the PS brush library, I think you’ll find one to suit. There is also an option in there to get more brushes. I doubt you’ll have to make one 🙂

[frank needle]

oh thanks!!

[lucid crane]

How would I go about reversing an image, without reversing text?

[strange hull]

send the image

[strange hull]

so what are you trying to do?

[plucky vale]

Reverse it, but not reverse the text

[strange hull]

so just moving the logo?

[plucky vale]

Shifting things around too

Is there a feature that does it or do I have to do it manually?

[maiden garden]

@fierce hornetHave you tried it yet?

[lucid crane]

Cut each element onto its own layer and move them around over a white background layer

[plucky vale]

How? I'm finding it difficult alligning things correctly

[strange hull]

like this?

[fierce hornet]

not yet.

[plucky vale]

yeah, how'd you do that?

[strange hull]

just cutting it out

[marsh terrace]

How do I fix PS making one of my layers black and white when I export
I was about to export this project assuming it would export the same way I edited it. But when I go into the export tab it shows one of the layers as black and white. I clicked Embed colour profile. I waited a few minutes in the window to see if it was fixed, but nothing happened. I exported it and checked the image; the layer was still black and white.

[little parrot]

hello how would i get this half tone border effect on the inside of this shape (instead of having an image inside and halftoning the edges of that image)?

i've tried using circular gradients, diamond gradients then using Filter > Pixelate > Color Halftone but it's not giving the results i want which is the first image

also tried masked layers + brushing using half tone brushes but i feel it's not the right solution and i couldn't find brushes that are applicable to the shape at all lol

[fierce hornet]

post a screenshot of it.

[marsh terrace]

the screenshots are under the text

[fierce hornet]

everything seems good here.

[marsh terrace]

then idk whats happening

[fierce hornet]

did you save it once?

export and check the result.

[marsh terrace]

yeah i tried

the layer is black and white but i have a gradient map adjussment later

[marsh terrace]

"lotus copy" is the layer that shows up black and white

but there is a gradient map above it

[fierce hornet]

Select all layer. Press CTRL+J
then Press CTRL+ALT+E
after the try to export

[marsh terrace]

this is what happens when i do that

[brave drum]

Hey everyone I need help, so i want to get rid of the red orb hes holding and make it where the backgroud is his clothes. I plan on puttin subsribe in his hand for my yt banner but i dont know how to do this 😭

[sweet field]

You're probably going to have to redraw it from scratch. You could try the generative fill feature, but I doubt it'll be able to figure it out very well.

[brave drum]

ah okay thanks man

[mental ridge]

fr

• in the school work i nede my face in it

I aint sharing a picture of me with u stranger

[lucid crane]

Try this: delete the orb leaving the glove.
Put the glove on its own higher layer
Copy the right shoulder, flip side to side and put behind the hand and glove. Some sizing and repairing will be necessary.

[brave drum]

Alright I’ll try it, I’m very new to photo shop I mean I just started today so not sure if I’ll be able to do it but I’ll try my best

[sly hawk]

It's kinda like this.... but spend more than 3 mins on it!

[brave drum]

Ah ok thanks very much man
