[naive monolith]

if only i can edit or change this black and white alpha layer in the generativ fill layer

[serene coral]

what exactly are you trying to do? remove the masked areas?

[naive monolith]

im trying to remove the motorcylces

so select the white area in the second picture

[serene coral]

you could ctrl+click the layer mask to get the selection but the GenFill result will look bad because of lack of a safe area for the blending. I would use the lasso tool to make an outlined selection and then use GenFill

[naive monolith]

oh yeah alright that work

[supple solstice]

I do have a question. How do one create a glass Shard effect with Photoshop showing scenes or characters.

[serene coral]

is this the effect you're looking for?
https://youtu.be/kzlpJ_YHB_U

[supple solstice]

More of like a piece of glass on one part of the canvas.

[serene coral]

the same workflow with different base image. do you have a photo of a shard(s) you want to use? you can use layer masks and blending modes to make it work

[supple solstice]

I see. Thanks @serene coral

[surreal iron]

hello, what is the best and accurate way to cast a direct shadow of an object ? sometimes the drop shadow effect is not realistic depending on the object

[vapid flume]

Casting realistic shadows is quite hard, sometimes you need to take extra steps to ensure the shadow follows the shape of the object it's cast onto, and we see a lot of people forgetting that one.
There is no 1 method IMHO. It really depends the kind of situation you are in. If you want to show an example, maybe I can help
I must admit that sometimes I take the short route. I create a rough model in Substance Stager or Adobe Dimension (3D stager software) and either just study how the light falls, or if the model and environemnt is realistic enough, I export the render in PSD and use it to be composited into my PS document

That really depends on the degree of realism needed and the completxity of, for example, the ground

[leaden gust]

Hey, any idea to how i can get an effect similar to this? I’ve tried using displacement maps on my text but it doesn’t look anywhere near as defined as it does in this reference picture

This is the closest I’ve reached, the problem is when i remove the background photo, it just looks like a random warp effect i added to the text

[serene coral]

I would try recreating this effect using a 3D program like Blender or C4D. You could do it in Ps with a lot of patience and warping/liquifying and masking

[leaden gust]

Haven’t thought about that but you’re probably right, I’ll try projecting the text onto a cloth texture in blender and hopefully that will work out better. Thanks‼️

[vapid flume]

A simple decal thingy might work as well (image as material). I'm not there yet in Blender, but in Substance Stager it's quite easy

The issue with displacement maps is that creating a good reference map is hard, particularly if you want neat, sharp outlines. You spend way more time fine tuning your map and since it's rather a blind process, progressing through trials and errors it takes quite some time.

[ember bane]

Hey everone, does anybody knows how to make this effect?

[vapid flume]

I would try using the filter> distort > polar coodinates although you would need to start with stars arranged in straight lines I guesss (You got two options: Polar to rectangular and rectangular to polar, I'd try the former)

And then cut the result in half and then duplicate and mirror the duplicate.

The tricky bit would be to figure out how to align the stars in the pre-filter image to get the result you want. You'll have to trial and error it

[ember bane]

Yeah, I tried very similar approach but unfortunately it behaves a little unpredictably and distorts the stars, and I need them to keep consistent shape

[lavish scroll]

i have a psd file and i need it into svg

[river rampart]

hi guys i have a question, i have a photo that is black and white and some other shades of white and i want to make every color transparent beside black. can someone help please

[serene coral]

you can use color range masking, blending mode or blend if

[serene coral]

can you elaborate? do you know the difference between raster and vector graphics?

[vapid flume]

You need to export as .svg, but it's only possible if you enable to "use legacy export as" in the preferences

at the bottom

It only has a use if your design is 100% vector (like vector shapes, or pen paths)

otherwise it will just be an embedded image

[vapid flume]

Any distortion effect you will apply in Photoshop will also distort the subject. I would say this have been done with illustrator (just half and mirrorred)

[ember bane]

yeah, thanks, the idea of doing just half/quarter might help find a solution

[fluid crane]

It's probably because of this isn't it

[serene coral]

😳 yes...

[willow sable]

Also random question, but why is there a "let photoshop use x MB ram" while it doesn't work?

[lavish scroll]

how do i make the "t" visible like some clipping mask or something

[serene coral]

how doesn't it work? it's ram, not disk space

[willow sable]

Because it uses more

[serene coral]

I think you could use a layer mask but I'm not entirely sure what the goal is

[lavish scroll]

i mean look, this is the logo and i need it like in one color but that the text is visible

[serene coral]

I believe Windows displays commit charge and not physical memory but I am not 100% sure

[willow sable]

oh ic

Sorry

[serene coral]

The choice is up to you as you are the designer here. you could use an outline or drop shadow to regain the contrast

[lavish scroll]

why does my generative fill stop at like 20% it just cancels randomly

[warm grove]

Make sure to read guideline

about generative fill

[queen root]

Hello mates , i want to swap the batlogo any video or tips for this ?

[valid bison]

I would remove the entirety of the current bat logo and light streaks and start fresh. Content aware fill or generative fill for that. Then create a circle with your cutout image, adjust the perspective, add an outer glow and slightly blur the edges. Then use selections and a soft brush to create the light rays. I'm sure there are other ways, but that's what I would do. I hour it helps!

[valid bison]

Hope*

[queen root]

Thanks a lot mate i will try this !

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @valid bison

No problem! You could even play around with the blending layer, maybe screen, to get it to look like it's more on top of the clouds. Good luck!

How do I save it? When I press the ✔️ it just goes back to it's original rotation point

[sturdy terrace]

I searched but according to the answers I got, there is no way to save a new inking point (at least as far as I know)
The only way I see and add a much lower invisible pixel casiment to bring back the point of rotation where you want 😅

I was surprised that there was no solution x(

[nimble iron]

I have no clue how to do this 😭

like this x)

Does using the remove background feature downsize the image?

[river otter]

If I get an older version of Adobe apps will the be less laggy?
Currently both Photoshop and After Effects are extremely laggy on my laptop, even with settings LOWLOW
If Im able to downgrade, will it be less laggy?

[sly hawk]

no

[sly hawk]

Could it be the size of your Canvas? Probably not but I've seen waaay too many people get confused because their image is somtimes 1080cm across, instead of pixels.

[river otter]

i used 500x500

i wanted to go with 1920 1080 but it was so laggy i was like wait let me try 500x500

EXTREMELY laggy

I uninstalled it already its basically useless

for some reason adobe animate 2023 works "ok" .. less laggy..

[sly hawk]

and it was defo PIXELS? (Sorry, to potentially insult your intelligence)

[river otter]

yes

it was pixels

xd

i even tried cm to see if that changes anything but it was still laggy

[sly hawk]

ummm. Have you got plenty of scratch disk space?

[river otter]

i have no idea what that means

oh i cant post images

i have 16 gb ram i thought that was enough

[grave sorrel]

I want to draw an object using a tablet. Is there a way to limit the drawing to a certain area/line so it doesn't get misaligned with the rest of the elements?

[turbid umbra]

hihi! could someone help me figure out why the center isnt a single anchor point pls? :;

its instead a bunch of points that act independently when im trying to have it as 1 point if that makes sense !

[plush stirrup]

because one anchor point can only have two other points connected to it. a three point intersection (like in the letter Y) would not be possible.

[turbid umbra]

ohh... thank you so much!
would you happen to know how to make it so that i can do what this video is doing? :0

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @plush stirrup

[turbid umbra]

https://youtu.be/upxBGNcryRs?si=6IAaXzWJlJrMXuq8&t=259

its time stamped

[plush stirrup]

you would have to select all the points at once in the center using this tool. note: this is not the normal cursor, but the direct selection tool

[turbid umbra]

i fiollowed what he said w the white cursor but it doesnt do it ;;

it selects every point but its like the middle is empty? or.. idk... my head is overheating lol

[plush stirrup]

is your cursor white or black?

[turbid umbra]

white

[plush stirrup]

so just to triple check, it looks like this at the top of the toolbar?

and not like this:

[plush stirrup]

okay, looks good. try deselecting everything first (CMD/CTRL + D) and then draw the rectangular selection over the center of the grid

then, click and drag to move the center

[turbid umbra]

IT WORKED

TY

so it was cause i had something else selected?

[plush stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/hhgf-gif-14529573991400142151

[plush stirrup]

most likely, yes

[turbid umbra]

thank you so much

for real, youre a life saver

not to have another issue lol but how can i make it so that the center is like.... like having the lines go alllllll the way into it instead of leaving like a lil circle?

[plush stirrup]

you would select the center points again (just like before) and use CMD/CTRL + T to transform them. you would then scale them down like any other layer. you can hold down the ALT/OPT key when transforming to make sure the center stays in the right position.

[river otter]

How could I embed purple glowing runes into this artwork?

[plush stirrup]

you could draw the basic shape with a thin brush and apply a glow effect via the layer styles. then you can adjust how much glow you'd like to add.

here is a cool tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Z4gpYkB0w @river otter

[wet sapphire]

Hi I have a little problem with my drawing I made in Procreate. I painted most of the colors with lower opacity because I wanted a specific gray, I know that was dumb idk why. And now I have it in photoshop and even though I turn the opacity all the up on the layer it is still see through. Is there a way around this or do I have to restart?

[nocturne cairn]

This method is crude but it generally works quite well.

DUPLICATE LAYER
Select a layer with partial transparency in the Layers panel and duplicate it multiple times by pressing Control/Command + J

SELECT LAYERS
Within the Layers panel select that original layer you duplicated, hold down the Shift key and select the last duplicated layer

MERGE LAYERS
Press Control/Command + E

[wet sapphire]

I didnt think about that thank you that will help.

[river otter]

Yo, I can't seem to find where people get this omegle template where it just shows the bar at the top, and the white background, it looks the same in multiple omegle vids, but I can't find where to get the background

[serene coral]

If this is a Ps-related question, you can cut it out with selection tools and layer masks

What exactly are you trying to do? Bucket tool might not be the best way to do it...

[serene coral]

You literally feathered the selection before filling it. Just don't feather it if you don't want it to be feathered

Different selection modifications do different things. There is a smoothen option and I believe this is the one you want to use in your case. Otherwise, use different selection methods

[rotund storm]

Nice work… I have no idea what you guys are talking about

What did you use to record this?

[vapid flume]

Just if it's of any interested, you also have the in-built Windows snipping tool, that also creates videos

[sly hawk]

Unless you're still on Windows 10, like me....

(recording videos is better than gifs since they're smaller and the user can play/pause the video)

[vapid flume]

Do you have the Gamers module on Windows 10? (windows key + G) I used to record with that one before, but I can't remember if it was available with Windows 10

[sly hawk]

Yep. That works great too.

@vapid flume

[vapid flume]

Sometimes the tools are already inside the machine. Particularly when you use video sparcingly, like me. James, on the other hand, might need something a bit more substantial 😊

[sly hawk]

I've had corporate clients record training videos for banking and finance applications using their Xbox Gamer Module :), because their super secure PCs won't allow them to install anything 3rd party.

[vapid flume]

I had that too (the "not installing 3rd party). I used OBS succcessfully for longer video. I can put overlays very easily and I can do all sorts of things like blurring areas of the screen etc. It's a faff for a 10 second video tough

[tidal ember]

for some reason since the update my hue cube selector hasn't been updating with the pick colour tool, anyone else found this problem/ a solution?

[tidal ember]

I already tried resetting preferences aswell as fully reinstalling the app, the question also mentions problems with 2 screens, which i have.

It could potentially be related to that?

[vapid flume]

I know I've seen questions earlier this year about that here. I will try to find the answers...

[tidal ember]

ok, thanks a lot for the help

[vapid flume]

Damn, I can't find them, the search function on Discord is a bit... tedious. (lots of very old posts, but maybe I didn't phrase it correctly)
Which version are you on? I know they updated it recently, maybe that fixed it?

BY the way, there is an update today for me

[tidal ember]

i just reinstalled it so im most likely on the new version

[vapid flume]

Can you just check? Just in case?
Current version is 25.2 for me (before updating today)

go to help>about Photoshop and then the version will show up here

You can also find it on the CC app, where you update the software

[tidal ember]

in about photoshop it says 25.1 but creative cloud doesn't mention an update

[vapid flume]

OK< because it's still 2 minor version behind then

Not saying, that will fix it, but just in case

Updates come for different users at different times, so I would keep an eye on the CC app today

[tidal ember]

ok, thanks

ill just try to get what i need done without the colour picker, as annoying as it is

Can you try double clicking on a colour, or the colour squares? That rings a bell for me, bizarelly

Hello! Sorry if this might sound a stupid question, I am very new to PS. My professor requires us to send a "PSD" file but I'm a bit confused if this is supposed to happen. If I press the PSD file it's either you open it on Microsoft word/Opera GX/Notepad, it doesn't open directly into the Adobe Photoshop like in Adobe Animation where FLA files sends you directly into the application and you can do whatever you want. Is this like a normal thing for PSD or no?

[sly hawk]

@steep scaffold

If you want the EXACT same snowman, it a bit more akward since the resolution is rubbish

of if you want to avoid masks, just paint it in....

Don't panic. You're saving it in the right format.

why does windows have trouble selecting photoshop 2024 as a default app in the open dialog?

answer:

[restive fulcrum]

i bought photo shop and when i open file it doesnt work

please help

[serene coral]

Because Windows has problems with 'open with' dialog in general. You might need to manually find and select the app you want to use within the Explorer

[serene coral]

Can you elaborate? What is the error message?

[restive fulcrum]

let me check

seems to be problem with the download files

it said that

[serene coral]

It depends whether you chose to delete the old files when updating or not. Adobe apps automatically copy the preferences from previous versions so you can just uninstall the old version from the CC app

[serene coral]

Not enough disk space?

idk

how do i refund?

I need this image with pure white background

but I'd like to keep the shadows

is that possible (and easy)?

I don't want the colors to change, so I won't be adding bright to the entire image

[wheat dragon]

thanks

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vernal ember

[wheat dragon]

but there's a shadow missing

from the frontal wheel

and the rear wheel too

[sly hawk]

Well it's not a **pure **white background then is it?

[river otter]

Will this work

[wheat dragon]

nevermind, I did it

thanks anyway

the trick was selecting the bg with the magik wand, then redefine edges of selection, increase feather, manage levels

[sly hawk]

@river otter thanks for your attempt anyway. - Doesn't help when the brief changes after you've done it 🙂

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vernal ember

[wheat dragon]

👍

[river otter]

You're lucky it works that way, usually it does not.

[wheat dragon]

yeah, I think it's because the bg was already pretty white and uniform

[sly hawk]

Presumable this is to make a reflection/shadow?
Maybe I'm mistaken, but technically it's impossible since the 'reflection' would show the underside of the chair legs, which isn't in the shot.

[river otter]

Yes, reflection.

[sly hawk]

As you can see by the AI generated image here, it's showing the **underside **of the chair.

It's nothing you could have created by simply copying, pasting, warping the product, which I'm guessing is what you were previously trying to do.

[river otter]

Wheels are a bit transparent in my case, but, maybe you have better image quality.

[sly hawk]

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnlEr39BfV8) - but I'm sure you can handle this already 🙂

[river otter]

I guess I will just leave it like this then.
Although in other images there is reflection like in second image.

[sly hawk]

I think it looks absolutely fine 🙂

[river otter]

Yah, works when bottom line is straight, otherwise does not as you said

[sly hawk]

Exactly.

[opal quail]

I want to add text for image and make it look like the whisper app

Text in photoshop looks...blocky

[hexed wadi]

ahoy ya'll I have a pretty noob question.
My screen mutes reds to look pink and shifts the blues to cyan and desaturates and lightens everything (I think?). I tried printing today and I forgot to change to cmyk so it turned out pretty bad... /fp. How would I change the colours to look like my screen (and convert to cmyk without it changing?)

Here are some pictures. (what it looks like on ur screen), (my screen), (and the terrible print).

The print came out more saturated, more red and a lot brighter.

[hardy maple]

Is it possible to change a jpeg/png into a texture?

im trying to change these two images into knit texture

[hexed wadi]

I may be speaking in complete ignorance but I assume this does it? Under edit?

(while selecting)

[hardy maple]

how do i do this?

[hardy maple]

yes you're speaking in complete ignorance, I didn't want an actual pattern I wanted a texture like yarn for fashion design

[snow rose]

is it possible to rotate the image without losing quality for pixelart?

[river otter]

Any idea why I can’t install Photoshop
I’m always getting another installer is already running error

[vestal mesa]

https://i.imgur.com/SBnxYAX.png

How do I make the background blend more

[opal quail]

I downloaded wrong font

Got correct one

and replaced it

but photoshop keeps using the old one?

[grand dove]

Right click convert into a smartobject

[grand dove]

Open the Fonts folder in Windows 11 by pressing the Windows key + R, typing "fonts" in the Run dialog box, and then pressing Enter. Scroll through the list of fonts and identify the ones that you want to remove from Photoshop. Right-click on each font and select "Delete" from the context menu.

[snow rose]

doesnt help 😭

[grand dove]

Did you rotated or resized it before the smartobject?

The first thing you do in photoshop is the SMARTOBJECT thing. And then you can play with it

[snow rose]

i rotated with transform

looks like this on transform

press enter and this happens 😭

[cursive mantle]

Yup convert to smart object and then transform

[cursive mantle]

Image > Mode > CMYK

From memory ctrl+Y also enables cmyk preview mode

[cursive mantle]

Find a knitted texture image, position it over the shapes and add a clipping mask (like pinning it to the layer below). Then change the blend mode to overlay

Here's a fake embroidered patch design I made with that technique

[cursive mantle]

Might just be the result of the pixels not aliasing to the new grid. You could try filter > sharpen

[river otter]

how do u upload fonts to web version of photoshop, it says I have to upgrade plans?

[nova creek]

why is this happening

need help asap

i cant edit any image

[steep scaffold]

thats weird i gotten the same thing before on my pc but it came off the next day without me doing anything

maybe try restarting ur pc?

[nova creek]

ohh

yes yes restart it s

brb

it happened again

oof

after restart

[steep scaffold]

ahh

damn

maybe a youtube tut will help

[nova creek]

yepp im gonna see em

tyty

[plain python]

anyone know if you can change where the fx is located in premiere pro?

kinda makes it hard to see where to cut sometimes

[river otter]

Can't install Photoshop for the life of me, getting this error 24/7 and I don't have anything running

[nocturne cairn]

You can hide the FX icon altogether if you like. Click on the wrench icon and toggle off "Show FX Badges"

[nocturne cairn]

In the future you might want to post such questions on the Adobe Video Discord server 🙂

[waxen raptor]

When I open this image in photoshop or copy it into photoshop it shows a more green hue... but when i view it in my normal photo viewer app or open the image in a browser it looks normal. U can see the left is in photoshop and the right is in my normal photo viewer.

The image is RGB and opening as RBG file

I converted it to cmyk to see if there was a difference but still prodominently green.

What could cause photoshop to show such drastic difference in the asset then everywhere else?

Here is another example:

Windows 11 pro

Whats even more crazy is if i take the screenshot from above and put that in photoshop. The original on the right-side becomes green hue again but then the green hued one becomes even MORE green. Here is all for comparison

wth is going on lol? this sux :(

😭

like if i just screenshot what is in photoshop and paste it directly in above itself as a new layer over and over eventually it just becomes this>

Photoshop is changing the actual image and its a new document so its not overlays or weird settings or anything

im so confused

[grand dove]

Photoshop uses a different monitor profile than the other Windows programs. You should check which color profile your monitor has and which color profile Photoshop has. Because Adobe does not use the color profiles of the standard Windows programs.

[waxen raptor]

Thanks looking into this now

its a fresh pc build so that makes sense maybe

[mortal spruce]

hello

so im making a livery for a car in an old game

and i want to paint some specific parts of the car

https://prnt.sc/rE1BheZQEc2C

but i dont know how to use the wireframe

https://prnt.sc/KD88bJ5vEx47

when i remove the wireframe layer

its hard to mark objects like door etc

sometimes its uneven

can someone teach me how to use the wireframe

when i mark an object in the wireframe it doesnt mark it right sometimes

look how it gets marked

[waxen raptor]

Can u share the file?

[mortal spruce]

yes

it has multiple layers

[waxen raptor]

ok taking a took one sec

[mortal spruce]

wire frame
dirt
main color
shading
paint

i named paint as паинт

[waxen raptor]

So everything here is just a raster layer. Meaning its just an image ontop of an image

the wireframe is just a visual guide

if u wana be accurate u will need to use the pen-tool

I was hoping the wireframe was a png that would let me parse out the shapes but its not

Youtube has hundreds of tutorials for using the pen tool. I would look up those.

Additionally if this is for a real car wrap this is far too small to achieve anything unless its being parsed by another program or designer

[mortal spruce]

okay thank you that was really helpful!

couldnt find the answer one hour

thank you wish you happy holidays

[waxen raptor]

Overall the wireframe is a terrible starting point its not high enough quality to determin the correct shapes even with the pen tool for something like a car wrap

[sly hawk]

Try changing the interpolation settings to 'Nearest Neighbour' - it's at the top of the screen when in transform mode.

[waxen raptor]

Oh he was trying to use magic wand that makes sense

[sly hawk]

They said it was an old game. I assume the textures are understandably tiny.

[waxen raptor]

Ya i missed that part

[mortal spruce]

i tried lasso tool

[waxen raptor]

use pen tool

[mortal spruce]

it gets uneven easily

okay!

[waxen raptor]

it just takes like an hour to learn =/

youtube

[mortal spruce]

yeah i have some basic skills with it

[sly hawk]

Why would you want to 'blend' more? The strong line is a GOOD thing.

[sly hawk]

Further visual shown here:

[pastel bridge]

Hello, I am trying to blend a logo in this illustration : I have tried to do it with the AI but not working as intended 😛 i would appreciate any tips

[vapid flume]

Do you mean you want to wrap the logo around the arm? (as in distort it) or something else?

[pastel bridge]

i can do the distorsion, im looking to have it look like the other tatoos

[vapid flume]

So play with the blending mode (see screnshot), particularly multiply, opacity and possibly the blend if option.
However, there isn't much contrast so I would position the hotel logo where it's already lighter...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysShyX50r6U

If you want it to look like drawn and not a neat vector logo, then one thing you can look at are the sketch options in the gallery filter (filter>filter gallery)

something like graphic pen or torn edges. Just try them all

[sly hawk]

I think this would be a good start...

With a little bit of simple masking, you could give it a few different colours/shades too.

maybe increase the MINIMUM filter again...

@pastel bridge

[pastel bridge]

Wow thank you very much for the detailed explanation, I am going to try this now 🙂

happy enough with the result, thank you again for the help @vapid flume and @sly hawk !

[vapid flume]

Sometimes it's due to a glitch in the GC/Photoshop interface

Check if you graphic cards is up to date.

[onyx estuary]

is there a fix for that? i reinstalled it and it always comes back.

[onyx estuary]

it is

checked it yesterday

[vapid flume]

OK, so check that FAQ to see if you can resolve things on Photoshop's end
https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cc-gpu-card-faq.html

[onyx estuary]

does that look right?

[vapid flume]

Yes, that looks OK. Check what you have here:

[onyx estuary]

exactly this

[vapid flume]

Check that video in case it helps
There are options in the preferences, notably in technology previews you can disable if your GC is too old (I have no idea if yours is BTW)

[onyx estuary]

nope, new pc :( i fear that my graphic card is kinda fcked

[vapid flume]

Ultimately, what you can do is revert back to an older version of Photoshop (you can do that in the CC app) and see if it resolves things

But basically the first link I shared is your first port of call

It could also be a temporary glitch that could get resolved by closing Photoshop and opening it again (But I assume you've tried that one 🙂 )

I wouldn't bother uninstall and reinstall like some people always advise... If your install is clean, then it would just add some inconvenience

To be clear, I sometimes have similar things happening (zooming in and out goes bonkers, unless you type in the exact magification % in the field + some weird UI glitches) always come back normal after closing and opening again.

can someone tell me why there is stuff left when I paint black on a layer mask? everything is on 100%

[sly hawk]

Is your layer at 100% opacity?

or the paint brush?

@river otter ?

if you can share your whole photoshop window/screen we can probably identify why

[river otter]

yep all

100% black as well, updated photoshop, restarted my pc

[river otter]

its all on 100%

[sly hawk]

.... if you can share your whole photoshop window/screen we can try to identify why

[warm grove]

what u wanna do ?

[sly hawk]

(They presumably don't want the black to look 95% opaque)

[warm grove]

When u Choose layer mask, u have 2 option, if u select Black color and paint, u gonna remove what u paint it,
The second option is the White color, and this to bring what u removed before back

so if u want's this happened, just make a new layer and paint what ever u want

[river otter]

why isnt my selection working properly? the fill goes outside the select edges and isnt one solid color.

[willow gale]

Hi @river otter The Magic Wand is a color-based selection tool, and has controls on the Options Bar (which is cut off in your video). The tolerance value will determine how close the color has to be to the original pixel you used to start the selection. A higher value is more tolerant of a color change, and a lower value is less tolerant.

[oak ledge]

How can I convert these lines to png?

[steep scaffold]

is there any possible way to change the color range on this with a color code???

[hardy maple]

how do I get rid of the gray area

[plush stirrup]

looks like there are semi-transparent areas around the figure. If this was done with a layer mask, try increasing the contrast of the layer mask. If it is a layer with transparency, try erasing the area you don't want

[plush stirrup]

so you'd like to only save the black lines with the transparent background? you can use Select -> Select Color or the magic wand to get rid of the white shapes.

[worn harness]

I got a question, i want to make this woman into like a cartoon type design, is there a certain way that i clould do this in yhe best/fastest way to do it?

[plush stirrup]

Photoshop can show the wireframes via the 3d panel. or you can find a wireframe material online (https://substance3d.adobe.com/ for example) and apply it as a texture

[plush stirrup]

I would import it into Photoshop and reduce the opacity. Then, use your favorite brush and draw over the outlines. finally, on a new layer, you can fill in the shapes and put it behind the outlines

[hardy maple]

you were right, how should i go about deleting these leftovers

[plush stirrup]

I mean, you can clean it up manually with the pen tool and eraser... but perhaps finding a clean version would be easier. Here is a close one https://stock.adobe.com/images/vector-icon-of-a-walking-pedestrian-illustration-of-a-walking-man-on-a-gray-background/393122220

@hardy maple

[sly hawk]

Yeah, I agree with Tim. If you particulary want the NOISE shown, maybe keep it, otherwise, it's easier to just start again 🙂

[worn harness]

Why can't i draw in black, i changed the colours, but it's still greyt

[sly hawk]

Can you share the WHOLE screen? 🙂

Your layer opacity might be on 20%

guys i cant instal InDesign its says not compatible What do i do

???

[willow gale]

InDesign will not install if your computer does not meet the minimum listed system requirements. For people on older computers, it's the RAM requirement that often is the issue: 2023 and 2024 both require a minimum 8 GB of RAM (16 GB recommended). Luckily, RAM is fairly inexpensive, so if you can't upgrade your computer, look into updating the RAM.

[willow gale]

You can see the system requirments for all recent versions here: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/system-requirements/earlier-versions.html

Hi @inland creek What kind of layer is active? It's completely blocked by the context menu so we can't see it.

[willow gale]

With a regular floating layer selected, it's here in 2024.

[willow gale]

Hi Xman: You need to have the Shape Layer active, and a Shape tool, Selection tool or Direct Selection tool to change the color.

[willow gale]

I'm using the Control panel, but you can also use the Properties panel, as per your screen shot.

[willow gale]

Hi @steel garnet Super tight screen shots make it hard for us to figure out where you are.

Every time I've tried I either don't get the option, says it can't be altered, or I crop away the section I want to keep.

[willow gale]

Hi @fading dagger You can remove the pixels (destructive) or mask the pixels (non destructive). I'm masking them in this demo which is a better workflow.

[open harbor]

do u know how I could make the same effect with another logo maybe?

[serene coral]

it depends on the logo but I would go with gradient map as it will give you more control over what is going on

this the logo

how would i do that

you could also try using a hue/sat adjustment layer in colorize mode

So I was wandering if there is a way to make every frame in animation different from each other, for example if I erase on frame 1 I dont want that change to appear on frame 2, is this possible?

[serene coral]

you'll have to duplicate the layer you're working on first, edit it, and swap the visible layer for the frame

[molten finch]

So it’s not possible

Thanks

[serene coral]

it is possible. What method of video timeline are you using?

[molten finch]

I don’t know really

[serene coral]

can you screenshot?

[molten finch]

Yes

[serene coral]

so it's a frame animation. each frame can use different set of layers. if you want to make changes and follow the expected workflow with this type of animation, you have to duplicate the layer, edit its content, and change the visible layers for the selected frame

[molten finch]

That's what I've been trying but sometimes I need to erase something from a layer and it's just not very effective to duplicate, hide the original and erase

[vapid flume]

You can try to enable onion skins (in the little burger menu on the right of your timeline). You'll still have to duplicate but at least you'll see what that is your erasing (a bit like if you're lowering the opacity of a layer to see what you are masking in a regular photoshop file)

[molten finch]

I thinks onion skin is only possible in video animation

[vapid flume]

Onion skins are taking some getting use to, sometimes it can be a little confusing, but once you understand the concept, it's super useful. Every frame by frame animation software uses it anyway.

[vapid flume]

Dammit, sorry

[molten finch]

Yeah, I used to use it in a different software

[vapid flume]

I'm used to Fresco and onions skins are there in the frame by frame. Let me check in case there's something else to enable

[molten finch]

Is it possible what im looking for is in a plugin?

[vapid flume]

That's what I'm looking for.
I found that
https://github.com/sbaril/Photoshop-Animation

I haven't tested it

[molten finch]

Do you know how to install it into Photoshop?

[vapid flume]

I am putting a frecking user voice angry note on Photoshop community forum. No onion skin in frame by frame... You must be kidding me?

I am afraid of git hub as much as a I am of a rabid bat or a demented cobra. I will try to find out, but I hope someone else will enlighten me as well. I always find it very obscure!

[molten finch]

💀

[vapid flume]

There is always a context for a rant! 🙂

https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/browse/cc?page=1&product=PHSP&q=animation&sort=RELEVANCE

[sly hawk]

(I'll go back into my hole) 🙂

[vapid flume]

it seems like the plugin is no longer active (unless someone understands what the developper is saying in the notes)

the link above lists all the animation based plugin from Adobe Exchange and theirs is not here

[sly hawk]

Again, I don't know the context, but if you're literally doing animation, isn't there more suitable software to use? Adobe Character Animator etc?

[vapid flume]

If anything I would need onion skin specifically in a frame by frame, and less in a video timeline (unless I would be using video for hnad drawing)

But I am sure the usage for a video timeline is mostly editing

But maybe I'm wrong

Or simple Adobe Animate

Character animator would need the character to be rigged, if that's something theta @molten finch wants to do

[molten finch]

Ill try it out

[vapid flume]

If you need to know about Animate, check out Joseph Labreque's videos on YouTube

Also Chris Georgenes'

[sly hawk]

I remember my first time in animation. I was in year 7 at school and we had these old macs with some 'clipboard history' app.
So we would draw a stickman, and then cmd+A and copy.
then adjust drawing and then copy again
then adjust and copy again...

Literally no way to go back and edit any of it later, no tweening, no copying in images from the internet, since 1)there was no internet on the computer 2) if it was on the clipboard it ended up in the animation.

We friggin loved it!

[vapid flume]

😉 That's cool. Our computer science stuff was mainly computing stuff in early Excel like software

Made the stickmen jump into pits, fight, shoot guns and explode 🙂

My thoughts exactly. I did search for a previous request and as far as I saw, there was none

[hollow iron]

Hey, PS noob/beginner here. I am trying to make a album cover poster for my room to put inside an A1 paper sized frame. I have found around 24 (24 because 4 X 6 grid, though I have many more I would like to fit) album covers that I would like in a grid on the poster but I can't seem to find a way to put the square pictures evenly on the poster and I have no clue how to go about doing this. I don't mind one side of the grid being slightly off the edge or for there to be space in between the pictures. Can anyone give any tips on how I could do this in photoshop to then send to my local printer?

[leaden helm]

Hey, is it allowed here to have a request? I have a picture of me but the mirror is dirty and i thought I could find somebody making it clean for some paypal cash? Im sorry if it’s not allowed and I’m in a wrong discord for the request

[rancid phoenix]

dm me

[dense meteor]

I have this image but I would like to remove the artifacts. Is there a way to do this? Or a search term I can use?

[vapid flume]

You can ask in #💬chat-general . Just keep in mind that we have no system in place for requests (paid or not) and that you're on your own. Definitely all proceedings have to go through DM

We generally encourage people to go through officila platforms (like Behance) particularly for bigger projects

[vapid flume]

It's quite hard as it's all over the image and any filter you can apply will likely affect the design it self as well. Common ways would be all the "noise" category filters (like median) but it will destry the design undoubtely.
There is a specialist filter called FFT (fast Fourrier transformation, for the mathematicians around us 🙂 ) that may do the trick, but it's not an easy one to use, and may not be sufficient enough

Any search terms would be "removing texture", or "removing patterns"

The problem here is that the underlying pattern doesn't seem to be repeating , it seems random. so the FFT may not pick it up

if you are interested, check this conversation in the forum

[dense meteor]

Awesome! Thanks fore the help! Will look into it!

[vapid flume]

You're welcome. you might also get away with very slight blurs, particularly box blur or surface blurs, followed by a sharpening of some sort...

[sly hawk]

There are a few good options for this. If it were me, I'd use **Adobe Indesign **since I can just make a bunch of empty square frames, position them easily in a grid and then just select all of my images and pretty much 'pour' the images into each frame.

[vapid flume]

It doesn't help, but there was a feature in the old photoshops just for that. Basically something similar to the Contact sheet, but with disparate frames

[sly hawk]

Technically you could do it in bridge too.

[vapid flume]

You can use Bridge as well, in the output section

@sly hawk beat me to it 🙂

[sly hawk]

Looks like a cross-stich 🙂

[sly hawk]

They're not really artifacts. it's just pixelation/pattern.

You could take it into illustrator and have it TRACE the image using only a few specific colours:

Export all paths from Illustrator to Photoshop as paths ?

Looking for a way to export all paths separately from illustrator project to photoshop project to keep working on it in photoshop.
Copy - Pasting a shape or path from Ai to Ps does bring related path with it, but I'm talking about around 400ish paths to move, need a bulk solution, any suggestions ?

[sly hawk]

I don't usually like to blindly post from ChatGPT - but maybe it's relevant?

[willow gale]

Hi @novel jackal So are you trying to get all vector paths from an Illustrator project to be listed as individual paths in the the Photoshop paths panel?

[willow gale]

I'm not aware of any way to do that automatically... doesn't mean there isn't a script or plug-in... but you can paste as a paths or a shape layer and then separate them yourself with additional copy/paste commands. Not sure where you are going with this, so maybe take a look at this tutorial to get an overview of how to work with Illustrator's vector shapes in Photoshop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnOdm1vsajY

[novel jackal]

Yeah I've looked into that video already , it will work , but it will take like, days and a bit more on top, to separate it all, I've way too many objects to separate it manually X_X

But I suppose this right here, is the only workaround, I've been searching for better solution all day and couldn't find anything better, you can easily export paths from PS to AI as I want them to be, but not the other way around as I need it to be

[willow gale]

Just confirming that you need to be able to work on the individual paths in Photoshop? You can add photos to an Illustrator artboard—and link back to Ps to edit them—would that simpify your workflow?

[golden coral]

someone stole my work and put their own watermark, does anyone know how to remove it?

[hidden wind]

Can someone help me to make text smaller than 1pt

[hidden wind]

No sorry

[novel jackal]

naw so like , direct problem looks like this: I'm working on a character in Illustrator around 500-600 objects in total (all separate layers), and at this point I'm just limited in AI so I wanted to transfer all my paths to photoshop, IE convert all my shapes/layers to paths preserving the hierarchy and re-fill and re-stroke them all and just continue working by hand from there

[willow gale]

Hi @hidden wind What's the endgame here? Adding the type but making it too small to read?

That's the typesize range allowed in Ps.

[hidden wind]

So I am trying to make text for the character in my profile but I can’t get right size text

[novel jackal]

I can export AI to PS in PSD format that would be one solution, but due how AI to PS handles anti-alias it breaks couple things, so for better result I'm hoping to restroke it in raster

Hence all paths out would be ideal

Don't know if this all made any sense

[willow gale]

It does. I just had to shift from Ps to Ai—it's slower as I get older! 😂 So working with layers/sub layers/sub-sub layers Illustrator isn't streamlining the re-fillling, re-stroking?

[hidden wind]

Oh and also I can’t stop it from saying the lorem ipsum text

Sorry I am newer to photoshop not new but not that good at it

[willow gale]

Hi @hidden wind You should be able to select the type and spec any size from 0.01 pt to 1296.0 pt. What is happening when you try?

[hidden wind]

Idk I can’t get rid of the lorem ipsum text

[willow gale]

Ah. the Lorem Ispum shows up to give you a typeface, size, color preview. Just select it and type over it to replace it with your content. However, if it is driving you nuts, you can turn off the feature in Settings > Type.

[hidden wind]

I can’t find settings

[willow gale]

Mac or Windows

[hidden wind]

Win

Specifically 11

[willow gale]

I'm on a Mac... so i think it's still Edit > Preferences on Windows

Macs changed it to Settings, but not sure about Windows. It would be awesome if you could confirm the wording. It will be at the bottom of the Edit menu.

[hidden wind]

Can you show me where it is there

So I can see if it’s the same

[willow gale]

Macs have a separate menu for it. Let me go to Windows computer. BRB. Ps 2024?

[hidden wind]

Yes

I just downloaded

[willow gale]

On Windows, it's Edit > Preferences > Type

my subscription ended 31 dec 2023, will it ask for my permission to continue or will it just stop?

[sly hawk]

Dunno. My guess is that it will just stop.

[plush stirrup]

depends on multiple factors: was it a one time code without auto-renew (from a reseller)? Do you have a working payment method setup in your account? Have you canceled your subscription?

[plush stirrup]

it should tell your over at https://account.adobe.com/

[bold hull]

because when i go to cancel my subscription just out of curiousity, it shows i have to pay cancellation fee 😭 but it said my subs ended in 31 dec.

[plush stirrup]

can you double-check your subscription status? open https://account.adobe.com/ and click on this button:

does it say when the next payment is due?

[bold hull]

idk where to find that but will this do?

[plush stirrup]

Normally subscriptions auto-renew unless you cancel. I would recommend contacting Adobe Support as I can't look into your accounts billing details remotely, but they can https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

How can I add shadows to coastlines like in the 2nd photo?

[plush stirrup]

you would have to cut out the land area (by using the magic wand, quick select or any other selection tool you prefer). then you would add a drop shadow via the layer styles. here's how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtNzPWadOJU

[willow gale]

Hi @steel garnet You asked how to remove Photoshop yesterday and it sounds you were successuful. How does "but I still have 9GB on my computer" fit in to the question? Are you trying to make more space available on your drive? I'm not clear on what you're asking today.

[paper kernel]

Hello, how would I go about making lines like this in the picture?

[formal loom]

hey I'm trying to edit a sprite sheet and every time I place it it blurs, I changed the image size to be rample nearest neighbor and it still doesn't seem to be helping

does anyone have any ideas as what may be happening? my canvas size is the correct pixel amount so it's not like I'm trying to upscale the image or anything, and in transform mode the image isn't blurred at all

but then I hit enter and it becomes this

found it, image interpolation was set incorrectly

is there a way to split an image in half? like the sprite sheet is all one long line and I need it to be a new animation on each line for simplicity in how I'm storing my animations for now, is there a way I can cut the image into seperate sections and move each section individually or do I just have to erase the parts I don't want and paste the image over and over again?

[stiff anchor]

How can I zoom in and crop a photo to get a close up macro shot of some flowers. I can do it on my IPhone in Lightroom but I’m having trouble doing on my computer

[plush stirrup]

please make sure the resolution is the same. not the dimensions (height x width), but the ppi. Usually it is 72 but some files have 96 or 300. If they are not the same, Photoshop will try to interpolate and you'll get blurry pixel art

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/image-size-resolution.html

[plush stirrup]

probably best to do this in Illustrator using the blend tool https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=NMerkeTJ0nY

[plush stirrup]

you would use the crop tool (shortcut key C ). then you can upscale the image again if required

[plush stirrup]

you might want to look at the slice tool there. First, you could generate guides in Photoshop first via View -> Guides -> New Guide Layout. then, select the slice tool (probably behind the crop tool) and click on the button "Slices from guides". Finally, you can export the slices as individual images

[paper kernel]

how would I make the top thick lines?

thank you btw

[plush stirrup]

looks like they just fade out. the thick line can be done by drawing out a single path line and using the width tool in Illustrator to make the line thicker or thinner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g93VnyveQxI

[paper kernel]

Thank You!

Yo, Wanted to ask how to make a white circle in photoshop

[nimble iron]

How can I make this shape without putting a Triangle shape, selecting, then deleting from the rectangle layer? When I do that it becomes really pixelated around the edges. Any way to mask out the triangle shape without select > delete?

[rancid trout]

How i do my pic background black anyone help me

[vapid flume]

It would be nice it you could show the image (and a full screenshot) so someone can advise the best way. There are probably 100s of way to make a background black, some more difficult than others and the choice depends on the type of subject

A full screenshot would be nice because people can see what are the layers on your designs (so the layers panel is a must!) and it helps with telling you what's best for your case

[vapid flume]

Are you using vector shapes? Because using vector shapes would allow you to reshape, enlarge etc without it becoming pixellated.

[vapid flume]

You got the option to make a raster, or a vector circle.
It depends why you need a white circle really so more info would be needed
Vector circles are done with the ellipse tool in the vector tools, set as a "shape" and filled with white.
Holding shift constrains the elipse shape into a perfect circle

If you want a raster circle, you need to select a circle first, with the elliptical selection tool

and once you got this selection, you got to fill it with white (edit>fill>choose the colour in the drop down menu)
Same SHIFT key holding applies to draw a perfect circle from an ellipse

In that latter case you need to first select the layer onto which the white circle will stay, the former will create its own layer automatically.

[white tree]

Is there a way i can select a layer for another layer to ignore instead of wrapping to the layer.

[onyx estuary]

hey i am using the polygon tool and it doesnt register every click, more like every second one, is there a fix to this?

[plush stirrup]

Other users have successfully fixed this issue by following these steps:

• Create a backup of the "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\AdobeAdobe Photoshop 2024 Settings" folder
• Clear the preferences on launch by holding CTRL/STRG + ALT + SHIFT when opening Photoshop
• Closing Photoshop again and replacing the new settings folder with the old one

Hey! Any idea how I make a text like this?

[nimble iron]

This just looks like a mix of Stroke and Drop Shadow!

Start with the blue-green stroke, and then add a Green drop shadow, set it's Distance accordingly and then increase it's Size to make sure it lines up with the edges of the text. Spread 100

Rasterize layer styles now.

Then add a second stroke in white, and do the same with the drop shadow but in white so that it blends in with the stroke

Not the same font or colors but you get the gist

How do I open a .tiff file and edit it? Every time I import it its a png (technically im using photopea by the way)

[fringe wren]

I think you can only open it in Photoshop

[warm grove]

and there is a one more step

[frozen urchin]

ahh shame

[untold mortar]

can you determine the font used?

[nimble iron]

In my image or yours?

[untold mortar]

in mine

also how do i open a black page on PS

[untold mortar]

how did you open a layer style

Right click on the text, then Blending option

[untold mortar]

but how can i even make a text? sorry i’m new that’s why i’m asking many dumb questions

[warm grove]

It's okay

[onyx moth]

how do i get out of the magnetic tool thing?

[warm grove]

Prees T on the keyboard, and write what u want

[untold mortar]

how do i? i’m pressing and nothings happening

[untold mortar]

maybe this is why

[warm grove]

make sure this is disabled

[nimble iron]

Double click until it looks like marching ants, then change to your marquee tool and click anywhere

Or that

yeah i tried double clicking and it didn't change anything

accidentally pressed P and it switched tools tho so sorted now haha

is there any way to keep it rounded? or do i just do really close points

[vapid flume]

You could use a pattern, but since the area seem quite small you can fill with a brush instead

[onyx moth]

sorry this is my first time properly trying to do something in ps haha

oh nvm

just realised i can drag the points

edit: nevermind i fkd it

[vapid flume]

@quasi canyon sorry I wasn't clear, you can CTRL+click on the text layer to select the content and then use that selection to brush over the gems

[vapid flume]

Have you downloaded and installed the font first?

[untold mortar]

ohh where do i do that from

[vapid flume]

Did the person who answered gave you the link?

[quasi canyon]

@vapid flume the font I am planning to use is more like neue helvetica I saw one video on YouTube of someone using a pattern but didn't look as realistic. Would you suggest still using a brush or patttern?

https://www.myfonts.com/products/bold-thats-all-folks-224422

[vapid flume]

I would personally use a pattern, once that I would have created myself. But that's just me. I am quite used to creating patterns so for me it's easier than creating a brush.
I would create a new documnet of say 100 x 100 pixels (an example) place gems over over, varying sizes colours etc... Pack them up in the canvas, but make sure they don't overlap the edges. Then create the pattern from there and apply it with a pattern layer style, applied to the text layer. That way it's entirely customisable (you can change the text and the gem follow)

[quasi canyon]

@untold mortar https://www.myfonts.com/products/bold-thats-all-folks-224422

But I won't enter into a full on explanation on how to create patterns, but I can give you tutorials
