[novel moat]

Hey guys I need your help, because my girl took a picture of herself, but it didn't go as planned. She wanted to be in the center but the person who took the shot did a very bad job, is there a way to put her in the center i kinda dont have any experience with photoshop and I need your help

[untold mortar]

okay @warm grove where do we chat

in dms? or is there a chat for this

oh yeah the voice channe chat

let’s go there

[lavish patrol]

Could anyone remove the star rail logo from the top left of this image?

I want to use this as a wallpaper but the logo is right where the clock is

So it makes it hard to see the clock

I believe this can be done with photoshops generative fill

@warm grove

[warm grove]

Yeah sure

give me 1 min pls

[sly hawk]

Possibly, but it will be dependant on the image. Send it over either publicly or privately and we'll try and get centred for you.

[lavish patrol]

ty

[warm grove]

Sure

[lavish patrol]

can u keep the bottom the same tho

[lyric dove]

Hey guys so I have both creative cloud and adobe photoshop, but can’t seem to figure out generative AI, the beta option isn’t showing up on my creative cloud at all, does anyone have an idea why? says it’s up to date

[vapid flume]

You don't need the beta version of Photoshop to get the generative fill. It's right here in version 25.00 and over

It's right here in the contextual bar

You can't

it's the official Photoshop server, maintained by Adobe, here

Here is the link for a 7 days free trial

and a link for discounted price if you happen to be a student
https://www.adobe.com/uk/creativecloud/buy/students.html

[lyric dove]

Thank you but it’s not showing up on my photoshop at all. It says my photoshop is up to date on my creative cloud but I don’t see anything for generative fill.

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume

[vapid flume]

Which version does it says when you click here

Actual version is 25.3.1

You can also check here

Also, just to make sure, for the option to appear you need to have something selected, of course...

[astral dove]

does anyone know how to make this text?

[solar linden]

Is there any way to enhance the starburst effect of the lamp post light?

[frail thistle]

any tip to make that color different go away and smooth the sky?

[worn harness]

How do you mirror an image?

[frail thistle]

click on the image you want, go to images>rotation>flip canvas horizantal

[worn harness]

i need the person to be infront of the words, why isn't it doing it?

[plush stirrup]

my guess would be the blending mode "vivid light" of that layer

[worn harness]

thanks

[grand stump]

I would maybe try to use a very soft brush, wide feathering, make one big "blob" of light and play a little with the overlay modes.

[solar linden]

Hmmm
Thanks!
I'll give that a try!

[plush stirrup]

you could also grab a free lens flare image from Adobe Stock and add it to the image (usually with the blending mode screen) https://stock.adobe.com/search/free?k=lens+flare

[solar linden]

That's an interesting idea too!
Thanks!!!

Why would the options for flares be vector or jpg only? Why not png or gif so that the background is transparent?

[coral crescent]

Does anyone know how to measure on a picture, like I have a picture and I want to know how tall it is in correlation to it’s width

[sly hawk]

You can. It can be PNG, JPG, not gif though, it would look all banded with a gif.

Grab one from online or render one automatically in photoshop filters - two routes below

[solar linden]

Oh, that's so awesome James!! Thank you so much!
I had thought I'd seen something done in photoshop once but googling was not giving me any answers.
🥰

[sly hawk]

Something like this I assume...

[sly hawk]

One option would be to BLUR that part of the image only with a mask. - See example here...

[lilac radish]

Thanks a lot

[marsh citrus]

error upon trying to expand an image with crop

[plush stirrup]

are you sure you want a 18k x 8k image? @marsh citrus

[marsh citrus]

well i dont want it that big but i want it to be that aspect ratio

im trying to expand the image

[plush stirrup]

then I'd highly recommend scaling the overall canvas size down. this might also solve the source of the error message. with 18000x8000, you could fill 4 8k TVs completely with room to spare

[marsh citrus]

tried making it smaller

same error

[plush stirrup]

I can't see a selection. have you selected the area you'd like to fill?

[marsh citrus]

no i did not it is saying that for some reason

[plush stirrup]

right. if you are using generative expand (via the crop tool), you don't need a selection. but if you already have expanded the image, you have to tell photoshop where you want to fill in content. so using any selection tool (marquee, magic wand, quick select...), select the white area with a bit of overlap.

then you can try generative fill again

[marsh citrus]

i did not expand the image because everytime i hit ok on the error it does this

it just undoes it for some reason

i also was not using generative fill

i was just expanding it

i never typed anything in either

i just hit done

and generative fill was not selected

hold on let me make a gif so it can be explained better and more thorughly

[plush stirrup]

you are trying to fill a non-existing selection

when you first expand the image, you are cancelling out of the generative expansion. then you are trying to fill the image using generative fill but without having anything selected. Generative fill and Generative Expand are related, but not the same thing.

[marsh citrus]

then how would i expand the image to make it have more stuff in it?

[plush stirrup]

when using generative expand, you have to click here

and not cancel

[marsh citrus]

it still did not work

[plush stirrup]

hmmm can you try without clicking on cancel?

[marsh citrus]

i googled it apparently maybe its the version?

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-beta-discussions/generative-expand-not-expanding/m-p/14267052

you most likely are on an older version

and im on the newest

25.2

it doesnt happen on 25.0

according to that

[plush stirrup]

are you using the Beta version or the stable release version?

[marsh citrus]

stable

25.2

newest stable is 25.3.1

mine is slightly older

[plush stirrup]

okay, I still had 25.1 installed. I'll double check and update

[marsh citrus]

ok

let me update all of mine aswell

[plush stirrup]

hm. working fine on the latest version both on windows and mac 🤔...

[marsh citrus]

you have both windows and mac?

[marsh citrus]

think it was a bug

for that version

so im updating

ill check give me a few

[plush stirrup]

worst case: you can try generative fill instead. expand the image as usual, select the white area and use the normal generative fill. if that also doesn't work, you can try resetting the preferences of Photoshop: As you restart Photoshop, press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS). You will be prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences file is created when you re-launch Photoshop.

[marsh citrus]

ok let me try it

[plush stirrup]

or like this

[marsh citrus]

i remember having an error before where when i exported photos it would not let me

i dont rememeber the error exactly as i have not used photoshop in a little

but that is what happened

let me check now

that is premiere

woops

it says photo shop update failed

what

[supple shadow]

does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

[marsh citrus]

try reconnecting your internet maybe?

[supple shadow]

but I have intenet

[plush stirrup]

might be related to your issue, @marsh citrus ?

[marsh citrus]

no

[supple shadow]

I tried disabling the firewall

[marsh citrus]

i mean disconnect and reconnect

or reinstall completely

[plush stirrup]

didn't you just say your update failed?

[supple shadow]

and...deleting antivirus

[marsh citrus]

yes but that was photoshop not creative cloud

[marsh citrus]

dont do that

bad idea

[plush stirrup]

well

[marsh citrus]

oh that is different

mine was not in that it was creative cloud already

[supple shadow]

I tried reconnecting

[marsh citrus]

like here

[supple shadow]

it just wont let me in

[marsh citrus]

reinstall creative cloud completely

might be a courrupted install

i dont know much about mac

but i can try to help to my best

[supple shadow]

I did. It stopped working back in 2022 and I ignore it. I reinstall it and wont work

I restarted my mac too

[plush stirrup]

https://status.adobe.com/ doesn't show any outages. either it will show up there or the issue is likely to be on your network

[marsh citrus]

how old is your mac?

[marsh citrus]

that or software issue, or even hardware

might not even be the network

[supple shadow]

from 2017

[marsh citrus]

might still be good im not sure

[marsh citrus]

depends on if it is slow or not

[supple shadow]

Yes it worked in 2022 and one day the error decides to show up

[marsh citrus]

ive never had a mac but i understand tech very well

[marsh citrus]

try googling it

[supple shadow]

I did I followed all the steps from the Adbobe website and it still wont work

[supple shadow]

the thing is I dont know where the error comes from. I have it go through firewall and uninstall all anti-virus software but the error still persists.

[supple shadow]

Ah finally I found the problem. Something to do with keychain.

I deleted the info keychain and its now installing.

Only took 2 nights because it is not in the instructions

[marsh citrus]

YAY!

[runic quail]

how could I create an image like the one on the shirt from an original black and white picture

[marsh citrus]

yo i updated still wont work

[sudden shale]

how could i recreate this design in photoshop?

[clear flax]

how could i make the black parts white but keep the texture on them

[vapid flume]

It depends what is your picture: A vector shape? A raster image? does it have a background? (and in that case you would need to get rid of the background in order for it to be colorised easily)

There are probably at least 50 ways to recolour something black, but each method will depend on the original, and also the degree of precision you need.

It can be a one click affair if you got the right original

I would cut the whole thing with the pen tool, copy it on a new layer, onnce separated from the background, I would cut it in 3 parts (again with the pen tool, ideally with guides)
and separate all these in 3 layers as above
Then I would duplicate the middle part a couple of times, and realign all the sections neatly so it looks bigger
It will be a bit finicky as you'll need to make sure you cut between the brick layers (and respect the perspective)

the step by step would be :
1-take the pen tool, trace around the block,
2-Once done, right click and convert that path into a selection
cut that selection into a new layer (layer>new layer via cut)
3- Pen tool again, cut the bottom and step 2 once more
4- Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the top
5- Name your layers 🙂
6- take the "middle part" and duplicate (layer>duplicate layer)
7- hide everything but your two middle parts (eye icon next to the layer)
8- Position your middle bits one on top of the other, retouch tiles if needed
9- Repeat if you need one more storey, and group the whole thing (CTRL+G)
10- reveal everything (same eye icon) and position each part where it belongs.
11- Group all the bits together without the background (same as step 9)
12- position the group within the scene

ASee if that one helps!

[unkempt seal]

What are some good DDS plugins for Photoshop on Apple Silicon?

[vapid flume]

Which part of the design?
The logos or the background? The background seem to be illustrations cut and placed together so you'll need the illustrations.
If you ask how to make the illustrations, I would say, unless you want to start from photos, I'd say, you need to know how to draw first!

[vapid flume]

what is DDS?

[unkempt seal]

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

Mipmaps and that stuff

Cubemaps too... For 3D engines

[vapid flume]

No idea what it is even after the explanation 😅

[unkempt seal]

https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-exporter

[vapid flume]

Plugins are found generally in the marketplace section of the CC app

[unkempt seal]

maybe that helps

[vapid flume]

Not really 🙂 but ...

[unkempt seal]

yeah not even on Windows I find DDS exporter there, all are 3rd Party, on Apple Silicon even less...

Well anyway 🙂 thanks i may have to look way deeper into the internet lmao

[vapid flume]

I would suggest trying your luck in the community forums, there is a plugin section

https://community.adobe.com/?profile.language=en

[unkempt seal]

[vapid flume]

you can ask within the "photoshop ecosystem" or in the "coding corner" as well

[unkempt seal]

alrighty thanks

[vapid flume]

But wait: No idea if it's related. Substance suite has a software called Substance painter. That, among other things allow to create textures that can then be exported to Photoshop.
No idea if they allow DDS (But I can find out)

Maybe the reverse is possible

and it's not a plug-in, it's a proper software

[unkempt seal]

that would be awesome 🙂 but i mainly need from psd/psb to dds 🙂

[vapid flume]

In that case, maybe you can also try your luck in the Substance server
discord.gg/substance3d
3D being what it is, they know about the interoperatibility of different software (you'll find lots of crossover Substance X Blender, or Substance X Unity there)
Substance is an Adobe software suite, but that doesn't mean only Adobe can do PSD to DDS

Also, found that. No idea if it fits:

[bold violet]

Still having this issue, idk if anyone who animates in photoshop knows a fix

[vapid flume]

I'm not a video expert but from what I'm reading, this is not possible

You can lock layers but not clips

That said, if you put your layers in the same line (no idea how it's called), you'll have issue, but if you split your clips among multiple lines, one doesn't affect the others
Not sure if that's solving the issue
Like that

eg: multiple clips within the same video group, but not the same line

Sorry if I haven't been more helpful though

[bold violet]

Dang i guess thats the only way to circumvent the issue, thanks

[vapid flume]

No worries, if that helps, here is a good recap of most features in video/frame animation
https://jkost.com/blog/2015/03/masking-videos-for-special-effects-in-photoshop.html

[bright cosmos]

how can i make this type of gradient overlay in photoshop

i didn't find any tutorials online

[runic quail]

the image I wanna make like that is this; basically wanna take the outline of the nuke and people and then change the outline color

[limpid tree]

Coming back to photoshop after a couple of years. Not sure if i can explain this well, but how to i make my brush/pointer manipulate shapes, like skew them (had a shortcut, but its gone ofc, but i don't remember the name for that function)

[vapid flume]

In that case it's best you create the outline yourself by tracing over with the pen tool. (there is no easy way to create the outline in an automatic way, since p[eople are wearing white shirts, black trousers and it may not be easy for the select>subject function to recognise shapes) Before starting with the pen tool, make sure you're in "shape" mode and not in path mode, and when you're finished, you only have to choose the colour in the "stroke" section to colour it

[vapid flume]

Might be transform (CTRL+T) that you can summon by going to Edit>trasform. But if you want to do it with a "brush" then it might be the "liquify" filter (filter>liquify)

[limpid tree]

Yes! Thanks, liquify was exactly what i was looking for 🙂

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume

[vapid flume]

Cool 🙂

[hidden wind]

Why won’t it work

[ripe quest]

Describe "it." Why doesn't what work? What exactly are you trying to do? Erase?

Perhaps because you're just slapping the stylus against the tablet?

Try creating a Layer Mask, choosing the Brush Tool and painting with solid black on the mask to hide the pixels that you don't want to see.

https://discord.com/channels/547473772727238676/1045711257178738760

[hidden wind]

normally the things work when I tap them now its not

[ripe quest]

Check your tablet drivers. Restart the tablet service and/or Photoshop.

[hidden wind]

ok

[hidden wind]

after coming back after getting a drink the file had corrupted

[fresh hornet]

Does anyone know how to solve this problem, I've already rotated the image at several angles and it doesn't fit in the car.

[sweet field]

Has that file worked for you before? Because it seems that the dds texture is simply not aligned to the 3D model of the car.

[lyric dove]

It says my version is 23.4, and it says it’s been updated. Would I have to reinstall to get it at 25.3?

[ripe quest]

Open the Creative Cloud app and click the "Check for Updates" button; see if it refreshes the list and shows new available updates.

[timber imp]

how can I create a reflective effect on clothing?

[sudden plank]

Kinda weird question, but how do i recreate that background, where is just says ufc everywhere on a hitlted angle?

[sudden shale]

i want the logos and the bg in it, ik how to draw but i want it to come out sort of airbrushed

[fierce hornet]

download a png UFC ( same style) from internet. add it to the Photoshop.

resize and place the png one after another ...one behind another. do it into the full canvas.

select them all < tilt them. done 👍

dont forget to do the same color. to get the same result

[sudden plank]

ty, any tips so i can line them up perfectly tho?

[fierce hornet]

you can press ctrl+ shift at the same time to move to the up, down or side straightly.

also you can add lines by pressing ctrl+r then drag them from the scale writen side.

[sudden plank]

@fierce hornet how to i seletc all, and how do i tilt?

[fierce hornet]

select the first text layer( just click) then hold shift and click to the last text layer

with selected all layers click to the group icon. so it will be easier for you

[sudden plank]

tysm @fierce hornet

hey guys, i am new to photoshop and i am making a roblox milsim, any ideas on how i can make this picture look a bit more like the ones i have posted below?
My picture:

Reference picture:

[vapid flume]

No, just go to help>update and then let the CC app show you the "update available"
(where the up to date is in my screenshot)

Alternatively, you can go directly to your CC app and check the updates section

you might find all the things that needs updating here

[lyric dove]

Says that there aren’t any updates available, even when I click “check for updates”. Still says that my photoshop is up to date but is still version 23.4

[hollow osprey]

Why do transparent holes remain when I cut out an image in PS, although there are none in the original?

[lyric dove]

I can’t update my photoshop and it’s stuck on version 23.4. It says it all up to date on creative cloud and there’s no update for it.

anyone have an idea why? I’m using a MacBook

[dense lynx]

Have you tried deleting and installing it again?

[umbral wharf]

does anyone know how to fix this? I'm on a macbook pro M1.

[lyric dove]

I just uninstalled it and now it’s saying “photoshop is not yet available for devices using Apple silicon.” And won’t let me install again

[dense lynx]

Then try to delete Creative Cloud and download it again from Adobe's site https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html

[dense lynx]

Make sure the text font is installed on both your MacBook and Photoshop. It can also be a performance issue, if not fixed try disabling hardware acceleration

[lyric dove]

Just did. Photoshop is nowhere to be found. How do I install it again without purchasing it?

[dense lynx]

You simply log in to the Adobe account in which you purchased it and install it.

[lyric dove]

Still says that photoshop is not yet available for devices using apple silicon” I’ve had adobe for a year now what can be the issue

[dense lynx]

Idk then

[paper kernel]

I think you would have to manually draw this

[nocturne hornet]

Kind of hard to describe, but whats the best way to conform an image to a shape? Like for example, if I wanted to stretch the details of the left image to a square without any spaces, what tool would be best? Image on right for comparison.

[umbral wharf]

It happens with installed fonts as well. I tried disabling hardware accelaration but it doesn't help saldy.

[nocturne hornet]

Why is this so hard to articulate? Essentially I want to flatten/stretch it to fit into the square, but keep its details. Would I use the distort/warp for it? Or are there more efficient methods?

[fast raptor]

So guys i have no experience in PS however i am really into technology and my uncle asked me to teach him to use AI to remove background etc inside of PS. I dont want to let him down. Can anyone help me please?

[surreal lantern]

Is there a particular reason why sometimes my photoshop doesn't save properly all the time? It's as if the save was interrupted and a black bar will appear on the photo.

I'd have to re-save again but this is a tad annoying

[plain maple]

Hello, I am working on something with home alone poster and it has a kind of retro look, and I want to change part of the text, I removed the text and put a new one, but how can I fit it into the rest of the picture so that it looks like it was there before?

Do you have legal photoshop? If you have crack maybe it is bug because it is crack

[queen wyvern]

i do

[plain maple]

maybe you have a virus on computer

[plain maple]

did you try to reinstall applications?

[queen wyvern]

Hi! Ive been using photoshop for illustration for some time but today i wanted to try and edit some photos for my social networks but i dont really know how to proceed, what do you guys suggest me to do to this image to make it look better?

does anyone know how to make all of this like chaos

[stoic ore]

Lower the yellows, since your subject is darker than the background, it's not popping as much.

Or darken the background by some other means

Question for y'all. I have this source image which has some kind of pixelation artifact as you can see in these corners. What is a good way to make it more rounded?

[winter ermine]

how do you manage to achieve something like this 'small' effect?

[plush stirrup]

the effect is called tilt shift. you can do it in camera or fake it in Photoshop via the Filter -> Blur -> Tilt-shift blur

[sweet nacelle]

I'm trying to make the man be in a movie premiere. The counter should be replaced by a promotional wall and there should be a red carpet on the floor

current:

now I'm trying to add shadows of the man to the wall and the carpet

can someone help me or point me to some resources?

i dont know where to place the shadows

[plush stirrup]

I suppose you could "cheat" with generative fill https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_HLoUX4ZvC4

[sweet nacelle]

yeah, but it's gonna change parts of the man and i dont really want that

[azure flame]

How do i make these corners less bumpy?

[river otter]

brush the edges with the blur tool set on low

[azure flame]

No, i want to make them more rounded ig? Thats my solution to it

Looks better ig

[river otter]

ah, I see. yeah I thought you meant less sharp

looks like you could do what you just did. then resterize and delete the black. would get the job done.

of to be nondestructive, select the black, mask, and then remove the stroke. that'd probably be the more proper approach.

[rich merlin]

does anyone know how these various lights added to these images?

[river otter]

ambient occlusion by the feet (think int terms of contact points. there's aways dark shadows near where two objects make contact. no big at all, but dark and hard. then work your way out. think about how light hits objects. you can google for reference images or just play with light and objects in your room. learning lighting is gonna be helfult on soo so many levels if you get further and further into post production and production. it's useful for photoshop compositing, it's useful for 3d modeling. it's useful for directing lighting on a film set. So you really can't go wrong to sit down and really study light and shadows.

[river otter]

just some basic stock flares. you could find 'em on google images or anywhere. doesn't have to be transparent. find flares on black. then change mode to screen or linear dodge.

[rich merlin]

oh gotcha, ty

[river otter]

bada bing bada boom. place, switch to screen, if you get any hard edges on the sides, hit 'em with a little soft eraser.

also google "light leak" or "film burn" for the other ones on the side

[river otter]

@plush stirrup is on the money. tilt shift. neat effect.

[river otter]

looks like some creative layering and radial blurs. could also be some brush packs.

[winter ermine]

Thanks both!

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @gusty drum

[sweet nacelle]

this is what I have rn, i added shadows to the floor and the wall

no idea btw if the shadow on the wall is good

@river otter someone just told me there should be no shadows because of the bright suit

instead it should be something like

[half kettle]

nahh i prefer the first one

but move the shadow more to the right

warp it

because it doesnt make sense

shadows dont work like that haha

[river otter]

first one looks pretty dang good! it needs tweaking, but it's not a "back to the drawing board", you got something there to work with.

[sweet nacelle]

something like this?

[half kettle]

make the shadow go even more back

like most of it shouldnt be seen

[river otter]

really depends on the angle of the light. which is hard to determine in this image. I'd give you some artistic liberty on the angle if ya wanted. there's just one main rule you need to execute here.

[sweet nacelle]

here's the original image. Isn't there a shadow of the man on the counter on the left?

[river otter]

shadow dissapation. shadows become softer and lighter the further they get away. so where the shadow is by his leg is good, by the part up by his head should have become a lot softer and more faded in a smooth gradient like transition.

[river otter]

indeed there appears to be. perhaps our friend here is looking more at the lights in the new scenes as opposed to the old scene. so you have the lights right for him, but maybe not for that red room?

again, so hard to tell in this shot, I would give you some liberty to do what feels right.

and that extra loud outfit of his lol, makes it extra hard to tell where the light is hitting form.

use the blur tool on full strength because it's kind of a weak tool to be honest. and paint the shadow so the closer it is to him the more it remains sharp and the further away it gets, the more blurred out the shadow gets. then take a soft eraser on a low opeacity. like low low opacity, and brush it to have the same effect. darker the closer. more invisible the further away.

before you do, because those are destructive edits, create a duplicate of the shadow and just turn it off. so if you mess it up, you have a backup. real easy to brush with the soft eraser, stand back and go "ah, too much". so makea backup. then when you are happy with the blurring, make even another backup before erasing.

What do you call this photo effect, thorn image, cut image?
Brushes have weird names, what will I google for?

Color splatter?

[river otter]

just go too google images and draw that image itself into the search. reverse image search. you'll find what you're looking for

I did it and found this https://pixels.com/featured/night-city-06-am-fineartprints.html

I have tried it, I need something like this, like brush stroke or something.

is it possible still buy all adobe cs6 apps?

Is it possible to still use Adobe Cs6 apps?

[short loom]

so i want to make the photo on the left match the colors of the person on the right. what tools do i use to do that?

[nocturne cairn]

Can you be more specific?
Are you trying to match skin or clothes or background or everything?

[nocturne cairn]

Adobe retired CS6 years ago. Even if you could get your hands on a copy the activation servers have been shut down.

[short loom]

Now that I think about it, there's a small green outline in the left photo that I want to remove. How?

[nocturne cairn]

... and the other questions?

[short loom]

Wdym

[nocturne cairn]

In my first response I was trying to get more information about what you are trying to do.

[short loom]

oh.
then i guess i wanna fade the edges of the image.

[astral dove]

oh oka

ty

[delicate sigil]

any resources on how I can make a mock up similar to this one?

[vapid flume]

I will find you some tutorials (they abund!) but just in case they generally concern how to create a mock up from an existing image (that of the wall, and maybe a "blanck" canvas like the one you have now, and the tutorials will teach you how to craete smart objects to easily place the artwork of your choice into that canvas (respecting existing light and shadows, or possibly enhancing those if the image is a bit flat)

so the premise will be - almost - always that you have a photo to work from

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYUzk1RdTOY

https://phlearn.com/tutorial/replace-sign-for-mockups-photoshop/

Regarding finding suitable photos, again, they abund. See for example the free section of the Adobe Stock website. If I type "billboard blank" this is what I find

https://stock.adobe.com/uk/

Not necesarily what you want, but you can tweak your search parameters according to your needs

Now if you need to create the canvas from a wall photo, or create the wall thing altogether, then it's another story.

[astral dove]

does anyone know how to like blend all of these?

[vapid flume]

That's called compositing. Basically you need to correct all the disparate elements so they realistically fit together.
It would be difficult to explain in a post (and a bit long) so hope it helps

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume

[delicate sigil]

thank you. what I'm primarily looking for is the "glassy effect" of the white boxes which create a reflection

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume

[vapid flume]

That would be mostly an overlay (say you are drawing a fake window which is really just a set of white squares traced with the pen tool, in shape mode, fill colour being white, and then take that new layer, set it on top of your canvas layer - clip it or mask it so it only affects the glossy elements, as it wouldn't register in the rough, non reflecting brick wall.

Once on top of the rest, change the blending mode (overlay or softlight seems a good option) and reduce the opacity...

does it look like i've drawn the horizon line correctly here?

also if I have this astronaut, the horizon line is at the waist, would it not be possible to add the astronaut to the subway image, given how the horizon line is in the subway image?

hey guys, I just want to make my picture make eye contact with the camera sorry for the very noobie question

does anyone have a very simple tutorial by any chance

[terse tartan]

Just a quick one my friends, I'm making a logo for a game that is 200x275px, Everything I do on the canvas is blurry, how do I avoid this without having to make it bigger?

[lilac bramble]

I'm playing around with the AI tools. I am trying to find if there is any way to create HDRi/equectangular images. I am imagining I could create some larger image, then apply a filter to spherefy it. Then move the seam over and regenerate a section to remove it. What I can't figure out is how to use a filter or build a prompt to get the correct distoriton in my image

[cobalt glen]

when did they shut down cs6?

[steep scaffold]

im making a shirt but how do i know if the logo (gap daniels) is centered at the bottom

[sweet nacelle]

I added the astronaut into the image, but it's much better quality than the background image so it still looks unrealistic.

How can I make the astronaut look like the car? (ie that bad and blurry quality)

[lyric dove]

I uninstalled my Adobe photoshop because it was stuck on version 23.4, when I try to install it again on creative cloud it says “photoshop unavailable for devices using apple silicon” does anyone know How I can fix this

when exporting images in photoshop
Could not complete the quick export as png command because of a program error

[limber jolt]

hello

i wondering if i could make her skin lighter

[serene coral]

you can make a color range selection to select the skin and add a new curves adjustment layer. with the selection active, it will be used as a mask for the curves. then you can brighten the skin areas. you might need to refine the mask

[serene coral]

what is your Ps version? does other export options work as intended? have you tried saving as png?

[distant zinc]

im trying to photoshop a helmet onto a cat, how can i get his ears to pop out of the helmet?

(he has ears in the original photo)

[limber jolt]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
is there a video guide on that?
im quite still learning

[serene coral]

use hue/saturation adjustment

[marsh citrus]

latest version and no other exportt works

[distant zinc]

i got 2 backgrounds only

[serene coral]

you have to mask the helmet to hide the parts where the ear should be visible

[distant zinc]

with which tool to make it smoother

[serene coral]

no other export options work? so you can't export your image in any way?

[marsh citrus]

nope

[serene coral]

youtube is a great source for learning Ps, if you search for color range selection you'll find a lot of good tutorials

[serene coral]

what solutions have you already tried? have you restarted Ps or your pc? do you have free space on your disk?

[serene coral]

you can use soft brush

[marsh citrus]

yes i have done those

[marsh citrus]

and i have free spoace

ooh oki thanks

Hey I just got in Photography and I have this camera canon eos 250d and this lens - Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens

Is that zoom level enough I noticed that it's really bad lol and also my lowest aperture is f4 so it doesn't even blur the background anyways just wanted to know if its a good camera and a lens for street photography and for some nature photos.

[worthy plume]

Hey guys I am modding an old game and I need to modify a texture. The texture is kind of strange though. it is for a Boar with yellow paint on its back. I want to change the paint from yellow to grey:

What would be the most efficient and good looking method to do this?

You don't necessarily have to walk me through it here. Whatever technique is best i can look for a tutorial on youtube. I learn better from watching anyways, but I just don't even know where to begin here

[warm grove]

Use HUE/Saturation

[worthy plume]

I don't want to change the whole things colour just the yellow paint.

[warm grove]

U can select one color

[worthy plume]

How?

[warm grove]

Make HUE layer

Then click on "master" text box
Then choose Yellow

[worthy plume]

Ok let me look up a video on hue layers.

[river otter]

Is there possibility to bulk rename brushes?

[worthy plume]

I did it, but I have a slight problem. I used the eyedrop- tool to exclude the background but it still changes. Why?

It seems as though it won't let me exclude certain colour ranges from the palette

[warm grove]

Now click in HUE LAYER MASK, then draw the things u wanna exclude

Make ur brush Black

[rapid harbor]

hello all, i'm trying to transfer a color palette from my project INTO my shared library...i've done it before (as you can see in the image) but i can't remember how to do it now

[worthy plume]

Ok it's working. It's just gonna take some a lot of masking cuz the texture is so strange and low rez to begin with. Thank you very much.

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @warm grove

[warm grove]

Select what u want to add then press on the Plus icon

[sly hawk]

It probably doesn't matter anyway does it? the grey/brown flat colour aren't shown on the model anyway

[sly hawk]

Assuming this is your own artwork (or AI)....

[sly hawk]

Maybe with a hue shift....?

[sly hawk]

One thing you could try is to simply reduce the size of the layer and then stretch it back out again. - Just make sure it's NOT a smart object. 🙂

I also then brightened it and tried some kinda high-pass filter, but it was just trial and error at that point.

[steady bloom]

when i use the hue saturation to change the color of the texture i want to add to the shape it changes the color of everything and not what i want

i only want to change the square color not the other things

[warm grove]

Make HUE layer, then select the mask, then with brush tool draw the other things
Make ur brush Black

@steady bloom

[steady bloom]

the shade won't be affecterd right?

[limber jolt]

Thanks james 😅

It's ai

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sly hawk

[sly hawk]

I assume they're different layers?

if so, click the adjustment layer and then.....

[warm grove]

yep

[grim night]

Might someone be able to help me?

I have a file that I am looking to make the background disappear on and keep all the white parts

I'm having a hard time and have an older version of PS so I don't have a lot of great magic select options or background knockout stuff

I just want the white boxes, icons, and txt with none of the background or logo at the bottom

want it to be transparent

[toxic panther]

Is that your file, or do you have a photoshop file with layers? It's not going to look the best if you take that flattened image and try to remove the background. It honestly looks simple enough that you could draw those shapes and recreate it.

[grim night]

yeah it was a template I bought of etsy for 4 bucks

I was thinking it would be layered

but it's just a flat image sadly

[toxic panther]

wow

[grim night]

it's for AIDA64 which monitors pc stats

it came with more than just the image but it was a bummer to find it a flat image.

when the program is running it looks like that

which is great but I want it to show my Window background not weed leaves lol

[toxic panther]

If there is an option in your version to Select Color range, and use the eyedropper one the white parts to create a selection, you may be able to create a layer mask and make it work that way, but it probably won't look great

[grim night]

maybe I just need to make a new layer and start making new boxes with radius'd corners

[toxic panther]

honestly recreating it would look way better

[grim night]

If I recall there wasn't an easy way to just draw boxes

you have to make a square with a radius'd edge, then stroke it or something

[toxic panther]

the rectangle tool

and then in the properties panel you can change the radius

[grim night]

yeah but that just draws a solid rectangle

then I think I had to stroke, flatten and delete the color out of the middle

it's been a long time lol

[toxic panther]

I used select color range and then created a mask.

It does not look great

[grim night]

lol

thank you for trying

[toxic panther]

if you look at the top bar there is a stroke option and even radius option up there as well as in the properties panel I showed you

you don't have to delete the color out of the middle, just choose none for the fill

[grim night]

Maybe I need to take some ibuprofen and knock this headache

at the moment it seems a bit overwhelming

Thank you, Luna!

[toxic panther]

You're welcome

[zenith adder]

how can i make an where i can swap between images without having to redo shapes and everything? the image would only show in the shapes form, but i cant seem to switch the images in an efficient way like those mockup templates

[toxic panther]

clipping mask

put the image above the shape layer, then point in between both layers and press alt or opt to create the clipping mask

you could clip a bunch of images onto that shape and turn the layers on or off, or just duplicate the shape layer and clip another image into the dupe.

[sly hawk]

I tried it, using a combination of masks, colour selection a threshold adjustment, and then redrawing a few boxes, and got it working pretty well...

[worldly shard]

hey, can anybody make this realistic,i make this in blender

[grim night]

Wow thanks!!

[worldly shard]

can yiu?

[grim night]

I'd try finding a car with a similar headlight style... copy the headlight on a new layer and play with transparency to blend the two together

[worldly shard]

no,uhhh i never use photoshop i need someone to help me

[grim night]

I'm not home atm

[nocturne cairn]

For me the most unrealistic thing is the brick texture and the wall elements not matching. Do you know Blender well enough to remap the textures? Do you know how to UV Unwrap?

[worldly shard]

im too lazy to do that

[worldly shard]

https://tenor.com/view/smiling-javi-gutierrez-pedro-pascal-the-unbearable-weight-of-massive-talent-happy-gif-25135496

[nocturne cairn]

So you want someone else to make it look better for you?

[worldly shard]

no just add dust

[worldly shard]

is it hard?

[mystic trail]

Is it possible to guide photoshop with AI fill to make it generate something similar to an image?

let's say I want a table in a scene that looks a certain way and I have a low-res image of that

could you tell photoshop to generate some variations of it in high-res?

[small sandal]

has anyone here tried to play with multiple art boards with video timeline, I'm trying to export just a specific artboard on export to video, but there's no option to select a given artboard.

[peak kestrel]

After last update there is something different in my layer panel right click menu. Anyone having this issue?

[nocturne cairn]

Can you be more specific about what the problem is?

[warm grove]

it's not an issue, it's just a new panel

[peak kestrel]

isnt it pointless? Same menu options but different panels

[warm grove]

Well, to be honest i liked the new panel

[peak kestrel]

is there any way to select one of this menu? Cuz it changes depends on layer type. Creating constant confusion

[warm grove]

No

[orchid bison]

Hi y'all i'm really confused, I have a clipping mask on the adjustment layer so that it will only apply to the black of the abstract shape but it doesn't work:

All the blending modes are normal

[warm grove]

the black of the abstract shape, not isolated, it's one layer with the background, u need to make it isolated

[orchid bison]

like this?

[warm grove]

Yes

[orchid bison]

But it doesn't work

[warm grove]

Cause it's tottaly black

[orchid bison]

Ok I think I'm not clear for what I want

I want the black to be a mask for the adjustment layer onto the bottomost layer

i want to be able to control the brightness in the area that is black, but on the background landscape

I get why it isn't working now, it's because the brightness was applying to the black layer

[warm grove]

Make the Black shape, bottom, then mask the photo

then use ur adjustment to control it

[orchid bison]

that is helpful thank you

I'm going to cut out a copy of the black shape's area for the bottom, paste it above the original bottom, and then apply adjustment layer to it

[twin bronze]

Alternatively (rather the intended way) use the layer mask in your adjustment layer for better layer management

Select the area you want adj layer to effect, in you case ctrl + left click on Layer 2 thumbnail, select mask of your adjustment layer, invert your selection and fill with black

[orchid bison]

ah yeah i was trying to think of how to do that all along that makes more sense

i was trying to paste my layer nto the adjustment layer mask but that option was grayed out but the invert and fill works

[twin bronze]

you can alternatively delete the default layer mask and recreate it using the layer icon at the bottom while the selection is active, it will fill automatically

if you want to copy something into the mask directly, you can alt + left click on the mask to make the mask visible and edit it

[orchid bison]

ah brilliant thanks

i wiill screenshot this and save it in my photoshop notes

[twin bronze]

😄 anytime

[sinful latch]

Getting this issue where I can't rotate an image as it creates this faint line anyone know a fix?

[twin bronze]

not with this amount of information, which layer are you transforming exactly?

and are you sure there are no active selections before you hit transform?

[sinful latch]

transforming layer 3, I can move it around okay its just when I transform

no active selections fixed it thank you

such a stupid feature

[twin bronze]

umm glad you fixed it, may i ask what was the problem

[sinful latch]

no idea

Probably something esoteric and awkward - my current experience with PS

Like "oh you didn't turn off bongledinger in Layer > options > fill > bongle > wibble > wobble > turn off lines > turn off bongledinger"

[twin bronze]

I know photoshop can be frustrating to use in the learning phase, sometimes even after years of using it. That s because it is a general purpose app and favors customized workflows for the unique users rather than a one way fits all system. What i would recommend is to use its customization features in the long run and get rid of stuff you don t use, create an ideal workflow if you want to use it professionally

[dusty mist]

Whenever I open a photoshop document and it opens photoshop (like if I click on it and the program was not already open) It opens a weird version of photoshop with a tiger icon instead pf the flamingoes and no pen pressure. What is going on?

Ah it's just the new version. Where are all my custom brushes then? Can I port them over?

[twin bronze]

they should be transferred automatically when updating

[dusty mist]

They didn't. Damn it now I can't even see them anymore =(

Damn it photoshop! I guess I'll painstakingly remake them. Cool

[twin bronze]

maybe you should check the brush preset folder manually

it was in appdata i suppose

see the old version presets they could be there

[dusty mist]

Ok I'll look thank you

[twin bronze]

C:.Users>username>AppData>Roaming>Adobe>AdobePhotoshop "version">Adobe Photoshop "version" Settings> Brushes.psp

also i highly recommend exporting your presets such as brushes and store them in an external location, just in case

along with other settings such as tools or menus if you want to take an extra step of security

[dusty mist]

Ugh there's no adobe in that path.

Man

[vapid flume]

Did you just copy and paste the path?

[dusty mist]

No.

I looked in my roaming folder

[vapid flume]

I was worried for a second 🙂

Let me double check but on the top of my head it's the right path

[dusty mist]

Looks like I can at least backtrack and get back the shape I initially used to define my favorite brush preset from the 2021 version of photoshop I have

It's weird that in the new update there's just no pen pressure settings by default on any brushes

[vapid flume]

Did you save them as .abr somewhere after creating them?

[dusty mist]

Unfortunately no

I just left them in the system

[vapid flume]

What tablet do you have? Mine is an XPPen and it happens, I just need to check the drivers (it's been a while they haven't been updated though)

[dusty mist]

Wacom intuos Pro

[vapid flume]

check that for a path

You're most likely would have the presets for the older versions as well

So if there's nothing in 2024, then you can check elsewhere

[dusty mist]

Oh! I have the brushes again

[vapid flume]

In any case, you can try to install your old version of Photoshop alongside the new one abnd migrate the presets
https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/photoshop/using/preset-migration.html

[dusty mist]

I restarted and opened the 2021 version of photoshop and they are back

The option to export the brushes is greyed out for some reason but the gear is allowing me to do it anyway

Really strang

[vapid flume]

One thing I do, but it's just me. I never allow any Adobe product to update automatically (I never had any issue when I did, just to be clear) But I just like to be here and physically press that button that say that I want to keep the presets

[vapid flume]

So now migrate them to the new version

[dusty mist]

I'll be taking this to heart. Thank you so much

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume

[vapid flume]

And save all you important presets 🙂 Been there, got the tee-shirt! 😉

[dusty mist]

You too. Thank you and I'm sorry I was a bit rude at first, I didn't mean to direct any of that onto you.

[dusty mist]

Wooo I appreciate you <3

[vapid flume]

For the sake of clarity for any other person who might stumble upon this (I'm not sure anyone would use the search function though) you need to allow Windows to display hidden files, otherwise you'll never see the "appdata" element.

[twin bronze]

Win + R = %appdata%

[twin bronze]

don t worry about it, glad you found them

[vapid flume]

And that too. Perfect!

[dusty mist]

Huh. wait a sec.

I got my brushes but shape dynamics is not working in the new version at all

[vapid flume]

Shape dynamics should work (except "off" and random" again on the top of my head) if it recognise a pen pressure and tilt

The transfer didn't solve your pen pressure isue

[twin bronze]

holy wacom

[dusty mist]

No, but I thought I was good because the pen pressure was fine in the old version when I reopened it

[vapid flume]

Do you have to reassign your wacom to Photoshop of do you leave it as is?

[dusty mist]

Ok hold up, this is the weirdest part - the actual brush stroke shown isn't acknowledging that it should have variation

[vapid flume]

I don't have a wacom so I can't drive you through the thing, but on my XPpen I chose to assign different software to different sets of express touch and pen pressures

it's also possible that you have your "windows ink" setting disabled with the update.

[dusty mist]

I have it disabled, yes.

It's horrible.

[vapid flume]

It needs to be on to accept the pressure

[dusty mist]

Huh. Damn. But the pressure does work in other versions of photoshop

With windows ink off, I mean. I might have entered some code or something to make it work like that now that I think about it. That's probably what's going on! I just need to figure out how to apply it to this new version

[vapid flume]

A while ago, there was an issue with that windows ink thingy, if I remember well. But I'm pretty sure it was in Win10

Not sure if that helps
https://support.parblo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000534121-No-pressure-in-Adobe-Photoshop-what-should-I-do-

[dusty mist]

I'm in Windows 10 currently

[vapid flume]

Oh, maybe that's why! But I would also search in the Wacom forums/help files

[dusty mist]

Ah! I found out how I did it and replicated it, now it works

[vapid flume]

Cool, excellent!

[dusty mist]

I'll share my solution:

1. Create a text file in a text editor such as Notepad.

Type in the following lines:

`# Use WinTab

UseSystemStylus 0`

2. Save the file as a plain text file named PSUserConfig.txt

3. Put (copy) the file into the Photoshop settings folder: C:\Users[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 Settings\

4. Restart Photoshop and check the pen pressure and overall performance.

(Found on the adobe forums)

[vapid flume]

I might have had to use it, I found it in my Photoshop 2020 settings 🙂

Proof that everything got transfered over, even if it needn't to!

[dusty mist]

Hah! Brilliant. I honestly don't know why they made windows ink the way they did. I'm sure they had reasons to do it, but it's the worst user experience I've ever encountered personally. Best guess is that it's somehow better for the tablets?

Anyway problem solved, you've been a big help. Good night !

[vapid flume]

I've just woken up 🙂 (sitting on GMT time!) Good night to you!

When printing large format, it will make the color gradations look more obvious and it won't look good anymore

Doesn't look smooth 😭
Because the image quality is low, I converted the file to vector format

[vapid flume]

Unless you actively digitise the file (transform the raster elements into vector paths - which is not likely in Photoshop) hen you are just embedded a raster file into a vector format

Your image is likely still raster

Can you screenshor the WHOLE of your Photoshop window? I need to see the whole thing to let you know what's wrong

Like that

[snow tulip]

no, i mean

How do I post pictures to this group?

[vapid flume]

click on the little + and choose upload a file

other wise you are doing screenshot just CTRL+V in the text line you are writing into

[snow tulip]

On my site there is no plus sign like yours

[vapid flume]

Sorry, I don't know then

What do you want to post?

[snow tulip]

I want to send a picture of the problem I'm having and ask for your help

[vapid flume]

Can you screenshot your window? You don't need that + button to paste it into Discord, you just paste with CTRL+V
What do you use to create screenshots?

[vapid flume]

I saw you managed to post on the #💬chat-general section

Your file isn't vector as it is

No matter if you saved it as a vector format, it's saved as an image inside a vector format but it's consistuent parths aren't vector. And I doubt you'll be able to vectorise such an intricate design if it haven't been designed using vectors (say, with Adobe illustrator) in the first place

These artifacts you see (banding etc) are there because your size is too small and therefore the resolution is too low

@snow tulip You can see it's there on the original as well

[warm grove]

well sir this is a whole Task, not just a small or simple thing to do 😅

[pearl gust]

pwease help

your a senior

[warm grove]

At this moment i can't, cause am at work right now

[warm badge]

why i cant edit this layer?

[warm grove]

it's locked

[quasi dove]

hello

how to delete a dirt pls

[rugged terrace]

uhh i use photopea but its the same i need help with something, how do i individually resize these and get them the same size?

[sly hawk]

Your image colour mode is on INDEX. Change it to RGB.

[rugged terrace]

(i know photopea has a subreddit it just isnt active)

[sly hawk]

You'll need to find a baby in the right angle to start with.

[hollow cobalt]

yes, u should change the color mode and if the issue was still not fixed, then unlock or duplicate the layer

[toxic panther]

You need to learn about masking and blending modes

First you take the picture you have of the baby assuming it’s at the proper perspective and then mask out the background, place it over the bed and then you’ll have to mask some of the netting over the baby’s head. You may need to use a blending mode like screen maybe on a duplicate layer of either the net or the baby’s head and mask some more

It wouldn’t hurt to add shadows or lighting and color correction if the photo doesn’t match the bed image

[toxic panther]

If they are shapes on separate layers you can transform each of them individually by changing the dimensions in the property panel, or change the size of one by ctrl/cmd + T and then duplicate it three times so you have four of them.

[rugged terrace]

they are on the same layer

[toxic panther]

Transform the whole layer and then make a selection to move the individual pieces where you want them.

[smoky turret]

I've grabbed 2 points, and want them both to move inward towards each other, rather than both moving to the side, is there a way to translate them like that?

[vague mauve]

Why are these points connecting?

[astral dove]

font?

[river otter]

How can I achieve this watermark effect? I've created the text so far and got the angle right.

[stoic ore]

Hi guys, if I use the Path tool and draw Text along that path, is it then possible to edit the path and have the Text automatically update position

[astral dove]

does anyone know how to make like these blue spots on his face

[toxic panther]

Move one point at a time with the white direct selection pointer not the black one

[smoky turret]

I was already using the white selection tool, my problem is I don't want to move the points one at a time because I want the shape to be symmetrical.

[toxic panther]

Just count the increments or use guides

[warped totem]

How can i do shadow here?

[toxic panther]

Make a shape and then apply Gaussian blur to it or paint the shadow with a soft brush.

[toxic panther]

Create your text and define it as a pattern, you can search “how to create a repeating watermark pattern in photoshop.”

[glad hare]

ah okay thank you

[worthy plume]

I am modifying textures for an old game. Is it possible for me to get the smudge tool to keep some pixelation, rather than smoothing the texture over so much

?

[visual thicket]

how do people make this kind of abstract art?

[toxic panther]

some of it could be done with the liquify tool

[visual thicket]

100% but the amount of colors and detail is immense. wouldnt you need a well-prepared layer?

[radiant sparrow]

Sorry for the delay, but here it is @warm grove

How do I create a mockup template from scratch? I have a tumbler that is not on the market yet and need to learn how to make the mockup from scratch.

[crimson adder]

im trying to create this type effect any ideas?

[pure lava]

looks to me like a halftone effect and possibly a custom pattern overlay

& hue and saturation adjustment layer with saturation turned all the way down

possibly some slight torn edges effect as well

[astral dove]

can someone tell me how do i do the like blue spots on face

[pure lava]

if u have a blue patterned image you can drop that on top of your image, create a mask while on the blue patterned image, invert the mask, then goto the brush tool then select an appropriate brush size with hardness at 0, ideally the soft brush, set the blending to multiply, set the flow to a low number and brush over the spots you want the blue effect to come in

[tall fog]

I have downloaded a heart vector from a website, However when I try to apply gradient to the heart it only applies to the outlines and inside the heart.. any ideas?

[exotic berry]

how should I go about blending the graphic to the shirt because I dont like it being a box

[vapid flume]

I saw you clipped the gradients to the heart shape. That's how clipping works there. Also I don't see the gradients applied inside. But it's normal, the inside is transparent. If you clip something to something else, the clipped layer will only apply to the pixel content of the base layer, not the transparency.

[tall fog]

oh..

how would apply the gradient to the inside then?

[vapid flume]

The best way would be to mask the graphic layer and brush with black the edges with a soft brush so the edges blend better with the background.

[vapid flume]

You need to fill the inside. Either with a shape (draw it with a pen tool) or just create a new layer and paint inside with the same colour as the original heart, group both the heart and the new fill colour and apply the gradient to the group

[tall fog]

oh alright thank you!

[exotic berry]

I tried the brush tool but it does nothing and I already have a blending mode on

[vapid flume]

Can you share your Photoshop view (the whole view?). You having a blending mode already doesn't stop you from masking the layer. YTou can have both

[vapid flume]

I see you created a mask with the outline of your design, but actually you don't seem to have blended it any further. You need to do that by hand, with a brush - a soft, low opacity brush - to blend the edges

this is a crude version of what I mean

[exotic berry]

yeah I dont know why but mines gone like this instead like yours

[vapid flume]

Because you're not drawing on the mask, you're drawing on the layer. Look carefully at what is highjlighted in my screenshot (white square around)

[exotic berry]

I did it but it didnt make it less square just changed the graphic colour

[vapid flume]

You probably done it on the wrong layer (I can see you have two layers for some reason)

I was thinking more the bottom one since it's where you got the outline shaped mask

you want to brush the outline to make it less square

Like I did in my screenshot

[boreal abyss]

hey anyone free to help?

[vapid flume]

Ask your question here. If anyone knows the answer they will answer!

[boreal abyss]

Okay it’s hard to describe and I’ll see if I can find a photo example but how do I create a zoom effect but keep the edges the same (so basically a 3d image) it’s supposed to look dumb

[boreal abyss]

Ehhh not quite?

I found a photo

Like the guy on the middle

[vapid flume]

OK< sorry, I

[boreal abyss]

I feel like it’s really simple I am just a complete beginner

[boreal abyss]

No no I really appreciate it so much for the help!

[vapid flume]

That's the term zoom that lost me 🙂

[boreal abyss]

Yeah there is definitely a better word for it

I just don’t know what it is

[vapid flume]

There is a glow around the middle guy, is that what you want to mimic?

[boreal abyss]

No no

You see how his face is like stretched out

How do you do that?

I think that’s a better way to put it LOL

[vapid flume]

OK, so it's a lend deformation

[boreal abyss]

Yes

I think so

[vapid flume]

Like applying a wide angle effect from a lens

[boreal abyss]

yes exactly

[vapid flume]

You can go to filter> adaptative wide angle

have a good look at the settings I have in my screenshot, see that the default should be "fisheye" but you need to switch to perspective

Because, surprisingly "fish-eye" means you want to CORRECT a fish eye effect. But fisheye is what you want

[boreal abyss]

yes omg

tysm!

[vapid flume]

You can also try filter>camera raw and choose this: "optics" tab then a negative distortion

You're welcome!

[boreal abyss]

WAIT THATS EVEN BETTER

[vapid flume]

So the key word here is "wide-lens" effect or fish-eye. Fish eye is the kind of lens you see used to film those skate videos

[boreal abyss]

how do u learn all this LMAO

im so impressed by everyone in this discord

[vapid flume]

hahaha! Thank you 🙂 That's learning on the job really. Also some of us have been at it for quite a long time (many, many, many years!)

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @boreal abyss

[boreal abyss]

im so excited to learn everything

many many more question to come tho im ngl

[vapid flume]

Everyone is here to help here! So feel free to ask!

[astral dove]

can someone tell me what to fix?

[vapid flume]

Which one of the two? Both?

[astral dove]

uh the one with the real player is the example of what i was trying to make

and i want to fix the left one

[vapid flume]

The issue is that the blue tint is supposed to mimic a gel like lighting effect on the player. It reacts to the shape of the face like this

[boreal abyss]

lighting i would say is the most outstanding diff

yeah

[vapid flume]

that means in the case of yours, it's just a glow, it doesn't follow the shape of any feature like you see in the example

I must admit that the real player effect is not good IMHO

it's not realistic is what I mean

so in your case, you should have a recess where the eye sockets are (You need to follow the skeleton if you're doing some anatomy)

• cheeks, sides of nose etc. Everything that is not flat

Also in the case of the guy who raises its arms, it doesn't really take into account the direction of light and how it bounces from the face to the other side of the arm. But again the reference is not good either in that regard

If you have access to a 3D software and know a bit your way around it, I would import a character from mixamo (it's free, and you can log in with your CC credentials)
https://www.mixamo.com/#/?page=1&type=Character
and study light on a character so you can mimic it realistically in Photoshop

In the same way that pen and paper artists use wooden manekins to study lights and shadows

[astral dove]

oh okay ty

[vapid flume]

In the same vein, you could use either the generative fill or firefly directly, describe what you want to see (harsh gel lighting in one direction) or import a photo that shows what you want to do and see what the AI comes up with with a cartoon character. That way you'll have a good reference to draw inspiration from

That's my google search query if that helps

[dire swift]

If this is the right place to be, any tips on how to make these types of headlight effects?

[river otter]

download some flare brush packs or you can just get some flare image off google or something, then brush/paint or place image over lights, and change mode to screen or linear dodge (to your taste)

[dire swift]

Cheers mate, will try out. Im a newbie so. :)

[river otter]

we all were at some point. you're on the right path.

[river otter]

I try do go through menu's when I do these vids as not to confuse anyone with my shortcuts. but at the end there I helt down alt/option when draging the layer to duplicate the layers. that first time I duplicated with the menu and it was so clumsy lol

[dire swift]

Thank you so much for the video aswell man!

[vapid flume]

@river otter @dire swift I am contractually obliged point you out to this, because at least, one person, in the whole history of the world will get to use it, and have a good laugh! 😂

Ah the knoll factory. Those were the days
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Knoll

he's still alive, I didn't know!

[river otter]

I'll tell ya one thing that caught my eye on your profile. "No help through DM" good call. I am going to be joining the class of Adobe Experts next month. and my application would look that much sweeter if not for the hours and days of teaching that happened in the DM's. 😭

[vapid flume]

I got d*ck picted and insulted in DMs so I'd rather not

been there, got the tee-shirt

[river otter]

lol, I guess that one didn't cross my mind. moreso all my extra credit work was going unseen

[vapid flume]

How do you know you'll be joining? Applications are on hold for the moment, unless you're talking about something else?

[river otter]

on hold until mid January after holiday. Let's just say if my track record didn't speak for itself, I have some incredibly strong references. two of my recommendations have been featured on Premiere's home page lol.

I have so many people whispering in Sil's ear about me the application is a formality at this point. I was born for this moment.

[vapid flume]

Also something, and I do that when I ask for help on Discord servers too. If you know the answer to a question, even if you found that answer by accident, thus answering your own question, that's always good to share the answer to everyone. That way, others can learn in the process.
For example for the moment, I am learning blender. I'm a total noob, but that doesn't stop me trying to find answers myself for issues I got (generally through the help files), when others do the same, I learn too

And I was able to pass on that info to someone else having the same issue this very morning. Despite them probably have much more knowledge than I have in the subject

I mean, it's supposed to be community learning so unless the images aren't safe for work etc, then I don't see why that knowledge should be kept private. But that's just me I suppose

[river otter]

closesent thing I've gotten to a D pic from someone. student says "can I dm you a question. I said of course you can. open up my inbox....

😂😂😂😂😂😂

we had a good laugh that day.

the question was about the anchor points being misaligned by the way. he needed to nest the clip before adding a transform. but hilarious nonetheless.

[vapid flume]

You'll never be sure until it gets validated. We've seen people get rejected (not saying that it will happen to you, but it's absolutely not a given!)

[vapid flume]

Where's the unsee juice?

Anyway, I need to go! Have fun everyone!

[river otter]

I was very nervous. and going way overboard. I was trying to get a reference from Jason Levine, both my friends who admin on the Adobe video discord, Valentina, Kelsey. and it was just like, overkill. because it means a lot to me and I didn't want to take any risks.

Then Phillip pretty much sat me down and was like "dude, you've done so much great work teaching people. you'd get in with zero references. and premiere gal arleady wrote you a glowing reference. stop overthinking. you'll have no problem getting accepted.

sorry, I'm a bit dyslexic when I type too fast.

[rough idol]

is it possible to manually paint on the effects of an adjustment layer without just applying it to the whole layer?

[river otter]

yup, just use a layer mask.

white is visible, black is invisible. I'll send you a video in a moment.

[rough idol]

ohhh i see! thank you!

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @gusty drum

[river otter]

extra tip. if you want to apply a layer mask to a layer that doesn't have one, this button right here (with layer selected of course) can even bee applied to groups and more.

[rough idol]

oh awesome, will do 👌

[river otter]

just make sure you have the mask selected when you start painting, not the layer itself. I been doing this 13 years and still make that mistake regularly.

[river otter]

todays mantra. select the mask, not the layer.

[rough idol]

ohh ok, ill try remember

appreciate ur help

[river otter]

well, I do believe I have put in a good morning. fairwell discord

[river otter]

Protip: the way I was making the mask invert was by hitting ctrl+i
(command+i on mac) that will invert anything selected, IE turn black to white and white to black.

and I guess last last tip before I leave. it operates on greyscale. so for example, if you paint 50% grey instead of black or white, it will make it 50% visible, and so on.

How would I make this logo a single soid color like in the second image?

most likely you made a text box (click and drag with the text tool)

Hi @tawny pecan Can you share a screen shot that includes the shape layer active in the Layers panel, and the Control panel so that we can see what you have going on?

[willow gale]

Hi @unkempt urchin What version of Photoshop and what OS?

[stoic ore]

Hi guys, how can I turn a Path like this into a line with thickness I can customize?

[willow gale]

You can see the system requirements for older versions here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements/earlier-versions.html but keep in mind that issues can occur when running an older version that was not designed for a modern operating system. Photoshop seems to do better than most Adobe apps with this, but still...

[willow gale]

Hi @stoic ore If you draw that path as a shape layer and not a path (it's a drop down menu at the top, left of the Options bar) you will be able to control the stoke color and width.

[stoic ore]

@willow gale If I draw it as a shape I found that it wanted to connect the first and last points ... is there a way to stop this?

Nvm

[radiant sparrow]

Hello!

I was wondering how I can achieve at making a pose image with outlines based on a Roblox character like the following image with a space key

I am not sure if I need to draw it manually or anything similar because I want to have a accurate result

(This is a repost from my previous reply that never was answered, but here it is again)

[willow gale]

Edit > Undo or check the history panel. When it comes to removing content, you want to work non-destructively so that you can change your mind later (beyond the undo/history panel), and in your example, this means masking pixels and not deleting them. https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/masking.html

[willow gale]

Hi @radiant sparrow If it were me, I would draw the character in Illustrator, and then adjust the poses using Illustrator's puppet warp. You might also look at Adobe's character animator, depending on where you want to go. https://www.adobe.com/products/character-animator.html.

If you need to work in Photoshop, draw the character on its own layer and play with Photoshop's (similar) puppet warp feature
