[river otter]

is it possible to change the default Save a copy file extension

[undone lagoon]

this is my workspace can anyone help me change the center so the light dirrection

[deep basin]

Yoo can someone help me with a pic

[sturdy walrus]

I know this looks nearly impossible but is there any way to remove the white background of this?

[ripe quest]

That depends on what you want to do with it. Will there be something underneath or are you wanting to export to PNG with transparency?

[sturdy walrus]

Just the transparent file

[ripe quest]

Probably will require some Advanced Blending > Blend If... and tweaking

[sturdy walrus]

Wow can’t thank you enough

Appreciate it so much!!

[late mesa]

i want to change size t 12x16 but when i do a new and copy in the new be like this

[late mesa]

how i change size without be like this

[white canopy]

Is there a way to color replace/hue saturation chagne only a section of an image? It's Layer Mask right? How exactly do i layer mask just the parts of the image I need to change, individually highlight each part?

[willow gale]

Hi @white canopy Selections allow you to target an area, and a layer mask is just a variation on the same theme. It sounds like you are new to masking, so perhaps start with Adobe Evangelist Julianne Kost's video: https://jkost.com/blog/2017/08/15-shortcuts-for-working-with-layer-masks-in-photoshop-cc.html.

Once you get the basics, you can make a selection, add a hue/sat adjustment layer which will create a mask for you automatically based on your selection, and then your adjustments will only target that selected area.

[white canopy]

I did figure it out good enough for now, i can just select the part i want, and while it's selected, Hue/Saturation will only affect that part as well.

So I don't think I need a layer mask right now, but i'll keep that video in mind for next time, thank you!

[sleek latch]

hello, i kinda have an issue with 3D on an older version, ive mistakely made "helmet_visor" invisible from the thing on the screen i opened for "visor_attachment"

how can i make "helmet_visor" back visible? I can't right click on it because i've made it invisible and even though i tried for like 17 minutes to find results in google i think my keywording wasn't good enough to explain the problem

[stark junco]

I can’t help but why you making seb Vettel’s helmet?

[timber canyon]

bro

why is ti when I use gradient map

I only have black and white

like no matter how much I change it

it always stays black and white

even using a preset

the colors stay black and white

help pls

[summer tide]

First of all, check Color Mode:
Ensure that your document is in RGB color mode rather than grayscale. Grayscale documents will only display grayscale gradients.

[latent aspen]

Anyone do tshirt designs i need work done?

[quasi mica]

Is it possible to fill the generative fill with imported variables in an auto action❓
Thanks

[timber canyon]

omg tysm

[timber canyon]

wait may I ask one more thing

why am I unable to use liquify

[summer tide]

you should have at least one pixel layer

[dire sable]

The best way is to do the card in Illustrator, there have you more controll.
but here is a YT how to do it in Photoshop
https://youtu.be/o9P1Ec5LSyA?si=JfXpiAWOcu9bM8_i

https://youtu.be/PwB3sRlIYjc?si=6cx35oCIGULrwID8

I know this is a 10 year old YT but still useful

[mild kelp]

Would anyone be willing to photoshop a photo for me?

[vapid flume]

Try your luck in #💬chat-general

[mild kelp]

Alrighty

[vapid flume]

It depends how you changed the size. If you changed the size in inches or cm and didn't tick the "resample" option, then you didn't change the number of pixels (which is how it should be)
If you want to enlarge the artwork "physically" you need to alter the number of pixels. That means that your artwork will risk looking a bit different (a bit blurrier etc) as you tell Photoshop to "invent" pixels.
If you artwork is made of vectors, then all good, they will be resized without loss, but if it's raster (like the photo) then there can be a visible loss.

THat's why that sort of thing is generally done, if done in Photoshop, using the real size as a start, and all sizable elemnets nested into smart objects (I don't know if that's your case) as it allows for more flexibility when resizing. Ideally, if you need multiple size of the same document, it's also best to create artboards for each size (or a new document) and avoid changing sizes of an existing document

[vapid flume]

Please show us the whole Photoshop interface. It may be a question of colour profile but we can't tell with just the gradient panel. The whole window with the layers panel and the document tab is best... the whole thing

[timber canyon]

here look

I unable to select liquify in filters...

[vapid flume]

Again, please show the whole window. As a general rule, when you ask a question please screenshot the whole thing. When people answer, it will be a shot in the dark if you don't (It may work first shot, but many times it won't)

[vapid flume]

You are hiding the colour mode with the filter window 🙂

I suspect this is the culprit as half of your filters don't show

[timber canyon]

here

sorry for the inconvenience

[timber canyon]

.

[vapid flume]

it's because it's in 32 bits

most filters work in 8 bits and 16 bits, some just 8 bits

[timber canyon]

ohhh okay

how do I change it?

[vapid flume]

32 bits is quite overkill there, I don't know how and why you decided to go for it

[timber canyon]

Yeah my bad do I have to redo it?

[timber canyon]

oh okay tysmmm

[vapid flume]

image>mode>8bits

[timber canyon]

okay it works now tysm!

[vapid flume]

the number of bits is the colour range. 8 bits is sufficient for most thimgs but sometimes for Photos of very high quality or artwork with lots of subtle gradients (which is not the case here), you'll need more than that

I work with photography and I have photos to work on that can be 16 bits if they're for books or magazines

I am yet to work on a 32 bit image though

[steady verge]

So I'm trying to work with gradient maps but I sometimes run into the problem that the edges (the transition between the black lines and the colors) doesn't look clean and ends up in a mix of colors. What can I do to fix it?

[timber canyon]

may I ask if increasing image size cause ramm?

usage of ramm*

[vapid flume]

I would expect so as if you're adding more pixels, the file is larger, unless you mean something else?

[vapid flume]

It's maybe because your line work isn't super clean, and since your gradinets maps are clipped, it's picking on the pixel content of the line work
Try this
Take one clipped gradient map and instead of having its blending mode to "normal" set it to "darken", it will not pick up any colour that is lighter than the colours of the gradient map. In this case you wish to eliminate the gradient map picking up the white fringe so it Should work

If it works for one, you can undo it, group all the gradient maps, clip that group to the line layer and set the whole group to darken

But ultimately, if you want those things to stop happening, you'll need to clean up your line work, or better still work in a vector format so you don't get any artifacts

also be sure you work at 100% maginification. I'm saying that because anything seen at another magnification than 100% cannot be accurate by Photoshop standards. I don't think that's a concern for the artifacts in the line work, but it certainly is for the gradients.

[steady verge]

Alright, got it!! Tysm for taking the time to help me!

[vapid flume]

You're very welcome!

[dire sable]

Sandrine in this case do you think that increase the color mode to 16 bits as you do then you will get read of the banding effect?

[vapid flume]

I also design for RedBubble. I find it easier to design either in Illustrator (but the bulk of my designs there would be vector anyway) or I use artboards to create multiple sizes of the same design.
I don't know if it applies to you, but I see that your design is very large. And yes shower curtains and duvet covers call for a large size like this, but they are about the only ones... Also, do they really sell (as opposite to tee-shirst and prints)
So if your design call for it, you could investigate the possibility of creating similar designs as patterns, and use the in-built pattern design feature in Redbubble

if makes your files WAYYYYYY smaller

But maybe it's not applicable, I only saw a close up of your design

[vapid flume]

The issue with increasing the bit depth is that you are creating a bunch of colours that do not exist in the original artowork if you're working from a photo for example. But if you're creating an artwork from scratch, then it could help greatly

The source material needs to be 16 bits from the get go

[steady verge]

Oh I see!! I have tried Illustrator a bit but I do find the program to be a bit hard 2 work in sometimes since I got a lot more experience with Photoshop. Yea true the design is quite large tho I'm not fully sure how to use Redbubbles features very well yet but I will make sure 2 experiment some more with it!

[vapid flume]

@steady verge this is what I'm talking about

If your intend is to be a surface designer (even if it's just a side gig!), you'll need to learn about creating repeat patterns. It can be quite daunting, but it's well worth it!

[steady verge]

Ohhhh I see!! Do you think repeatable pattern would work if the pattern is based on hexagons tho?

[vapid flume]

In the screnshot I share just above, this is a design I made with Photoshop (one of the very few) so I just created it so it displays one tile, and let RB apply their pattern feature to it. The file is something like 2500 px wide and it covers all the needs without craeting 10s of different file sizes

Yes it works 🙂

Again another Photoshop file, this one done follwing a silly experiment with the capture module within Photoshop (there is a repeat pattern option)
Ideas comes from all places!

[steady verge]

Got it!! Tnx for explaining it 2 me!

[vapid flume]

No problem!

[steady verge]

While we are already on the topic, how do you tackle patterns for Hardcover Journal on redbubble since they sometimes cut off the patterns a bit in a not so eye pleasing way?

[dire sable]

Sandrine is RedBubble a plugin or online pattern generator

[vapid flume]

I place them by hand, let's be honest, it's not their best feature!. But I never sold any journal and I suspect they don't sell loads. The bulk of my sales are tee-shirts, occasionnaly posters and stickers so that's where I am concentrating

For example puzzles. They cost a bomb to buy, nobody buys them, they're a PITA to design.

I won't even go there unless it's straightforward

[vapid flume]

It's an online Print on demand platform. You can post your designs and people can buy items based on these. They are made and sold on your behalf to people around the world

[steady verge]

Yea true, got it tnx!

can any one help it is week ago without any solution

#❓ask-a-question message

[dire sable]

What exactly will you do with the shadow, is it difficult to guide you if you not what you will do with the image

[vapid flume]

I cannot help there, sorry. 3D features are slowly retired from Photoshop (I'm surpised some still work) so I've stopped using 3D within Photoshop.

[dire sable]

Sandrin what I can see is that only a 2D work

[vapid flume]

I suspect you need to click on the IBL and change its rotation (if possible)

that's a 3D layer within Photoshop

the cube icon is the marker for a 3D layer (in the same vein that icon is a marker for a smart object)

That's why I always ask to see the full Photoshop window 🙂

[vapid flume]

But you're right it is a 3D layer within a 2D environment!

[dire sable]

I see that now, but to change the light on the photo you don't need to use 3d, only select the object and copy to new layer, get read of the shadow an make a new shadow

[vapid flume]

Yes of course, but I assume the shadow has been generated by the 3D environemnet (The IBL, image based light - that's an assumption there) so if you want to use 2D features only, you'll need to rasterise the car and its shadow, and remove the shadow to create a new one using the standard methods

If the OP is able to enter the 3D mode and change the settings of the IBL present in their 3D environment, then that would change the orientation of the shadow

I assume they have been using a 3D layer for a reason

But we don't know enough to be absolutely sure

@undone lagoon est ce que cela repond a votre question?

[dire sable]

what I can see is it a Swedish copy of Photoshop

[undone lagoon]

yes that help thank you so much

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume (current: #9 - 461)

[dire sable]

sorry wrong of my it was Google how foule me

[vapid flume]

If you're not able to change the rotation of light in your 3D layer - for example if they disabled that possibility, then you'll have to rasterise and recreate the light, and shadow, manually. That will be another story, but if that's the case, just come back and we'll guide you through it. In the meantime, if you can do it in a 3D environment, then it will be 1- easier 2 - probably more realistic

[dire sable]

what version of Photoshop do you have older than 2022 can make 3D

If you type the text on separate layer and make it to smart object it will be easy to make it fits with help of move tool, you control the perspective with Ctrl and anchor markings

click this then PANEL OPTIONS

you can then change the thumbnail size.

Hey does anyone know how to do this effect? I can do two toned 3D letters I don’t know how to get the fill as a material and the stroke as a solid colour

[ripe quest]

First, please stop pinging the Moderator role. Also, Sandrine attempted to answer your question earlier. The short answer is: you cannot just rescale raster graphics up 4 or 5 times large without noticeable quality loss. You will likely need to "recreate" the layout at the desired size. Raster graphics are designed at a specific scale and pixel resolution. If you arbitrarily scale the layout and/or the elements contained within, they can look "blurry" or "fuzzy" at the edges. The vector-based elements like text can likely be scaled without issues. However, the raster elements, you will need to recreate them to the appropriate size.

[willow gale]

Hi @white canopy Good! Just to clarify my last sentence... when you make a selection and then apply an adjustment layer, Photoshop creates a mask for you automatically. In the video clip that follows, you can see the Ps uses my marching ants selection to create the b/w mask next to the Hue/Sat adjustment layer—that's why the dog changes color and the background does not. You are masking without realizing it. 😉

[wheat jungle]

Is there a way to restore corrupted files?

Without downloading some random software

[willow gale]

Hi @wheat jungle Take a look at this post from Adobe: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/file-recovery-photoshop.html

[willow gale]

And it is always a good time to remind everyone that incremental back-ups should be an integral part of any document workflow. You can regularly save versions of the same file with a new date or time, or just save to a cloud service that does this for you automatically (i.e, Save to Cloud Documents in Photoshop's File > Save as dialog box, or Dropbox, etc.) This allows you to easily retrieve a version of the file before it was corrupted.

So to clarify. - Can I assume you've downloaded a template/image online, which I assume was perhaps an AI file, and you've opened it up in photoshop?

You now cannot edit it, or resize it in any way?

[exotic sand]

how can i make it so these 2 are the same "layer" but i can toggle between the blue one and red one at any time so it looks like the 2nd pic normally but if i "flip" it i get the 3rd pic

also is there a way to make the layers actually show the images that are part of the layer?

[willow gale]

Hi @exotic sand To alternate the visiblity of the two objects, they need to be on their own layer. You could create a layer group though, if that helps you get organized.

[willow gale]

Layer thumbnails will show the contents unless you set them to "no thumbnails" which you didn't. So either this is a very high resolution file and the layer contents is so small that you can't see it when the layers are set to "Clip thumbnails to document bounds" or Photoshop is misbehaving. You can fix the latter by resetting preferences. Be sure to save custom presets, brushes, etc. first.

[winter ermine]

Really bugging me this!
im trying to add a paper effect to one of my text layers which ive done but it's also automatically adding a 3d bevel and emboss effect?? i dont want that.

"LEWIS" is fine, but it's the bevel i dont want

when i press the for bevel it turns off the texture as well

[willow gale]

Hi @winter ermine Texture is a component of Bevel & Emboss. They work together. Alternatives include playing the with texture controls in the Filter Gallery or finding a texture online and using a clipping mask to clip it to the letters.

[willow gale]

Or, you could draw a white rectangle over the words, add the layer style with bevel and emboss and clip that to the letters.

Have you try edit a pdf in Illustrator, it work very well, but it can depend how the pdf file is done from beginning.

[radiant plume]

Hey

[exotic sand]

okie dokie

[radiant plume]

you need editing Then you have to come to me

[exotic sand]

how do i disable "clip thumbnails to document bounds"

[radiant plume]

should I learn that for you?

[exotic sand]

what?

[radiant plume]

Ahahah its a joke

Oke?

[willow gale]

It's a toggle. Right click under the bottom-most layer to change the thumbnail size and switch between Clip thumnails to layer bounds or thumbnail bounds. Or choose Panel Options for the Layers panel menu.

[exotic sand]

ahh ok xD

[exotic sand]

there is no space under the bottom-most layer

[dire sable]

It is not I'm how have problem with edit PDF in Illustrator it work very well but it depends on if pdf-file is made from Illustrator or Photoshop

[exotic sand]

so if there is no space even at full length i just have to shrink tabs?

(which is what i did, was just curious if there was another way to do it)

[willow gale]

Or use the Layers panel menu?

[exotic sand]

good idea

[willow gale]

It's in my first reply and in the video clip. 😉

[harsh gate]

this question might not really fit here but i dont know where else to go.

i cannot download CC on my computer, like it literally will not download or even prompt me for an install when i launch the installer. i just get the little loading icon next to my cursor for a couple seconds, and nothing else ever happens. i'm on windows 10, 22H2. adobe support has been zero help to me

and i'm basically just paying for my subscription that i can't even use

[ripe quest]

Have you had Creative Cloud apps on your PC previous to installing this time?

[harsh gate]

yes i've used CC and LR before, but within the last month it will not download anymore

[ripe quest]

Were they legit versions of the software?

[harsh gate]

yep official paid versions only

[ripe quest]

Have you tried the CC Cleaner app yet?

[harsh gate]

several times

i've also wiped all adobe folders from my machine manually

don't know what else to do except reinstall windows, but i'm not doing that until i'm absolutely sure there's nothing else i can do

[ripe quest]

I understand. So is the Creative Cloud app loaded on your machine right now?

[harsh gate]

no i tried installing it last night again but gave up because it wasn't working

the support team just tells me to restart my computer, or allow them remote access to my computer which im not doing

[ripe quest]

Are you able to sign in to your Adobe Account on the web? Like, does your account actually work?

[harsh gate]

yeah i can use web LR just fine

the only thing i was able to think of is if adobe software needs microsoft edge, which i have completely disabled on my computer

[ripe quest]

Just so I understand, you had the Creative Cloud app on your PC previously but have since removed it? Now you're trying to reinstall it and it won't run.

[harsh gate]

right

i removed it when i canceled my subscription a while back

either my pc isn't allowing it to run, or my subscription is broken

[ripe quest]

Some of the apps might need Edge to operate properly, for the "web-based" features. I'm not sure if the Creative Cloud app requires that but it is possible.

[harsh gate]

and it's not like i can cancel my subscription and resubscribe because im gonna get charged too much

$40 for early cancellation is ridiculous

[ripe quest]

You shouldn't have to do that anyway but if you've already tried the CC Cleaner, completely removed everything from the PC and it won't reinstall, I'm not sure what else you can do. Other things I might suggest would be difficult and dangerous. Like searching the Windows Registry for entries that might be left over from a previous install that is keeping it from running now.

[harsh gate]

i can try running CCleaner and clean the registry

not adobe cleaner, another software

[ripe quest]

I would try the CC Cleaner first before fiddling with the registry. That is a bit dangerous; if you don't know what you're doing, you can delete something that causes Windows to stop functioning.

https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

Other than, reinstalling Windows is an option. However, that can be a lot of work.

[harsh gate]

yeah if i'm being honest im not gonna reinstall my os just to run one software

[ripe quest]

Which app are we talking about? Photoshop only?

[harsh gate]

i really only use LR

[ripe quest]

Because Creative Cloud has like 40 different apps.

[harsh gate]

just to edit photos i take

[ripe quest]

OK.

[harsh gate]

i can try to use a macbook i have, but i haven't used mac os in so long, and failed to update it because LR isn't supported on the current version

[ripe quest]

I'm not sure what to suggest beyond what I've already said above. Sorry. Good luck with it.

[harsh gate]

no it's ok i appreciate your responses

The main characters glow is hitting the black box which I dont want, but I have used the pen tool to cut the right leg off so i could get the cool effect of the black box being in between the legs

[uneven isle]

hi, my layer mask isnt working. when masking out the layer using black it does remove properly but it doesnt work when using white to add it back in, I checked and my white is the proper hex code. can anyone help?

[fervent girder]

CAN someone tells me how and wehre to check the counts, done, for GENERATIVE AI. i heard it it limited to some numbers of only? is it true?

[river otter]

Put glow layer bellow box.

Then erease leg for black box interwine thing.

[river otter]

Check the brush color. Black vs white and opposite.

Hey guys, any idea on how to create the letter "B" from a bacteria like this. I'm looking for a way to turn the put the bacteria as 2 circle of the letter "B" to create it ? Any idea would be appreciated

[river otter]

Clipping mask and fur brush.

[rocky breach]

do u know any clip that also tried to create a typography using image like this ?

[river otter]

https://youtu.be/PdDTAm22LaI?si=4bARCCJNFf2etNp1

[rocky breach]

Hmm... I dont think that what I'm looking for. I'm trying to create a letter B like in this image

like not just overlay the texture on but literally use the pic and shape to form a letter (like the B here)

[river otter]

Then add 2 circle and one straight bacteria image and form a B.

[hardy maple]

How do I change a mask layer to another color

(White to Black)

[river otter]

For the B you sent, you will have to use first approach.

[hardy maple]

also, anyone got a good method to change pixel to vector?

[river otter]

CTRL + I, while on mask.

[hardy maple]

nice

also I need that guide on how to change specific colors via blend

I used a pen tool to make this, how do I create a selection from it?

[river otter]

https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/vectorize-image.html

I have no idea what they said in this tutorial.

Can't be more unclear.

[river otter]

Not sure what do you mean by this.

[river otter]

Select by color range, select black then invert the selection.

[hardy maple]

how to select by color range

and okay ill see the tutorial now

[river otter]

https://youtu.be/tgodo7PETx0?si=cX-J6ZtvKx7Bzuz6

[river otter]

Ohh, this is for one color vector.

[vapid flume]

No, some effects cannot be stacked. But you can stack "invisible layers" with an outer glow.
Copy your layer with the outer glow, place it underneath the original, modify the outer glow as you see fit. Now in the general blending options: put the "fill slider" to 0, leaving the opacity at 100
What you have now is the layer with just the effect. You can repeat the operation as many tiomes as you want. Of course if you had some blending modes interactions theres, you might have to tweak them.

[vapid flume]

You have a vectorising feauture in the capture module of Photoshop.
To access it, go to your "libraries" panel and check the little + at the bottom

be sure you have your layer selected, the one with the design you want to vectorise
and select "extract from image"

in the pop up window, choose "shape" and play with the sliders

it's a crude tool, let's be honest, you might prefer using the image trace feature in Illustrator which is the best on the market (And I've tested many!)

The capture module serves many purposes which are really handy, even if sometimes a bit limited
https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/capture-extension-in-libraries-panel.html
check that one!

[vapid flume]

Right click on the canvas with a vector tool (pen, shape, vector selection tools) and right click... Choose "make selection"

[river otter]

https://youtu.be/p-lbeAeIqd0?si=hU-fQ27RBJLT5OF_

@vapid flume
This tutorial looks okay until the point where we need to select second color (light gray), after that darker gray, and black at the end.
He uses actions, but, do you know how would we do this without actions.
Maybe by color range, then make working path and add color to make it a vector?

[vapid flume]

I guess you'll have to draw it. Or another solution would be to summon the AI tool in Photoshop select a blanck space in the canvas and prompt what you want.
You can also go to the Firefly website and upload an image as a reference (your bactera) and ask it to make a B in that style. I suspect there will be lots of trials and errors, but might worth a try
https://firefly.adobe.com/

[vapid flume]

I'll be honest, I won't watch 11 minutes of a tutorial just to find out 🙂 (I am in a middle of a project now, so use a bit of my free time to answer on the server)

[river otter]

Okay. When you have time, it starts at 5th minute, and just 2 mins away is that thing.

[vapid flume]

But know that some tutorials are crap. It's just the way it is. In the same vein that not evrything you see on TikToK is real (shock... horror!) not all tutorials are valid

That said, I haven't checked but some people who use presets actions etc, do offer to download them, you need to check the text beneath the video

Most time they might want to monetise these, that's the game. You need to check if that's the case

[river otter]

I understood it.
He doesn't isolate colors.
He just have them both as a vector.

I agree that YouTube and everything else is just a monetizing try of different people and it is hard to find worth things.

[vapid flume]

Well, sometimes I do tutorials (but I prefer "static" not videos. You learn quicker 🙂
This 11 minutes tutorial could have been an 1/2 page step by step 🙂

a closer look at the tutorial will show you that that assets are given here

which contains a step by step (miracle 1/2 a page!) and the actions to download for free

I didn't have to watch the video 🙂

And a quick Google search tells me that they added a new version recently

[river otter]

Illustrator - Image Trace 💁‍♂️

[vapid flume]

I guess the point is to obtain a clean line work, which uses all the techniques he used prior (oil filter, blend if) and then turn a selection into a path which you can do with a simple clicking on this icon in the path panel

[river otter]

Yes.

[vapid flume]

I acknoledge that not everyone has Illustrator

If you don't use it and still want to do things with Photoshop, it's still possible with some elbow grease!

[exotic forge]

hi guys, im wondering what function i can use to get this text lined up, im not having much luck with warp and perspective rn, thanks.

[rocky breach]

damn this is hard

@vapid flume Manager just clarify that they want sth like this. Any suggestion

Like this but look more like a B

[vapid flume]

Try the vanishing point in filters
Maybe it will help?
https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/vanishing-point.html

[vapid flume]

No suggestion at all than maybe use liquify (filter>liquify) to change the shape. Would have been me, I would have drawn it. Sometimes it's just quicker/less tedious to do it from scratch

You can also use a mask to hide portions of the artwork you don't want to see, and make it look more like a B

[rocky breach]

Tks let me try to figure it out

[exotic forge]

Hi Sandrine, thx for your help. I was wondering if there were any glaring parts to the edit i made that make it seem fake. 1: original
2: n and r replaced

[foggy seal]

how do i create this glowish effect around the text? exactly like shown

[vague magnet]

any suggested tutorials to make thumbnail like this?

[ripe quest]

Try a Layer Style > Outer Glow

[ripe quest]

No specific tutorial comes to mind. However, it seems mostly just text with Layer Styles and a couple of screenshots.

[foggy seal]

create a layer on the text then outer glow?

[ripe quest]

Just apply the Layer Style to a Text Layer. Dbl-click on the text layer in the Layers Panel, add the style and adjust to get the desired effect...

[foggy seal]

i got something like this, very similar but the color seems kinda off, the one i sent is much brighter

[serene coral]

I can see two text layers here. the top one is yellow and sharp and the one below has a median filter on, red outer glow and opacity lowered

[foggy seal]

wdym by median filter

[ripe quest]

You can also combine it with other effects like a Drop Shadow with a specific color defined. If you experiment the Styles and their settings, I'm sure you can arrive at something very similar to the example.

[summer violet]

So, uhm
Bit of an awkward question
If I have layers consisting of images of text with white backgrounds, and trying to remove said white backgrounds with the wand tool is an imperfect and inefficient task, what is the more efficient route to giving those images transparent backgrounds? They're just black and white but the images themselves were imperfectly taken so there are red and blue artifacts

[nimble leaf]

Hi, I'm having trouble placing multiple lines above the circle like the first pic. It would be nice If you can help me.

[ripe quest]

Try Advanced Blending > Blend If... I demo'd it for a similar thing earlier this week. See: #❓ask-a-question message

[summer violet]

Ooh

Hm

Not bad

A little jittery, though

[ripe quest]

This is much easier in Adobe Illustrator where you can easily/quickly create a "Spiral" path and the paste text onto it...

[summer violet]

@ripe quest could it be possible to... make a little less jittery? I don't want to sound ungrateful. I totally am
I just want to know if there is a way. Maybe adding pixels to smoothen it out or something

[ripe quest]

Watch the video carefully. You can split the white handle in two by holding the ALT key.

[summer violet]

Oh...

I kind of did what you told me to, but maybe the layers were confusing my low-attention-span brain
This kind of worked as intended, though

[ripe quest]

Hold the ALT key and click on the white handle. Then drag. You should be able to split that in half and adjust it a bit better.

[summer violet]

This is kind of what I get when doing the ALT key thing

This looks better

[ripe quest]

I wouldn't do anything with the underlying layer unless you want to "see through" the text. Move those handles back to their default positions.

[summer violet]

Ohh I think I see what you mean

In that case, this should do the trick

The text will be sort of small compared to the whole image, anyway. So, the image quality shouldn't be an issue down the line

I hope I didn't end up following just half your steps, because this was helpful

Thank you, @ripe quest

[ripe quest]

You can also apply a Blend Mode to the layer itself. Multiply or Screen depending on which luminance you want to drop out of the layer.

[summer violet]

I totally missed that!
I was using some other layer, but I will test this out soon

Thank you again

[viscid fern]

Hello, im new to PS and I was wondering how hard it be to recreate something like this? Thanks

[ripe quest]

Difficulty is directly proportional to your experience using the app. If you're new to Photoshop, I suggest you begin by doing the tutorials that ship with the app. Main menu: Help > Hands-on Tutorials... Start with the "Beginner" Level and work your way through them.

[viscid fern]

gotchu , do you think you could recreate this easily? I'm just tryna grasp on if this is a easy, medium or hard level

[ripe quest]

I could probably create this easily but I've been doing this a LONG time. You'd first probably want to start by designing that "disp arity" logo design. Then once you have a "perfect" version of that, then move on to the flag. Then use an effect to make it look "worn out."

[viscid fern]

Just tap the "Eye icon" on that Black Color Fill layer to toggle it on/off... if that's what you mean.

Im confused, im trying to upload some files on the creative cloud. But the thing keeps saying file type is not supported. The Camera is taking it in RAW how do i convert it into something that creative cloud can handle?

[pastel fractal]

Hello, I am using Mac Pro, but I switched to Windows system due to lack of system. I made logo work. While preparing the corporate identity, I am working on Illustrator. While scaling the logo in my contribution to Indesign, I encounter a problem like the one in the attachment, and this happens all the time, and even occasionally, I get errors like this in programs: "The Update Smart Objects command could not be completed due to a program." My system is new, so the graphics card is RTX 4060 ti, it is not old, so what do you think is the problem? I upgraded from Windows 11 to 10 but I'm still getting the same errors. Creative Cloud programs are definitely not crack. I would be happy if you help.

[lean kelp]

if i do that, then the image appears as if i have not done any changes to it, with rough edges.

[lean kelp]

i want to keep the smooth edges, but get rid of the black

[ruby mountain]

hey, is there a way to make rtl the default here?

[willow gale]

Hi @lean kelp The edges are defined by your mask (the b/w square next to the top layer thumbnail). Click it and then choose Select > Select and Mask to refine it. The smooth slider will average the outside edges to produce a smoother result. Here's a good overview if this is new to you https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/select-mask.html Outputting to a New Layer with Layer Mask will leave the current layer alone and create a new one in case your first effort isn't as good as you want it to be.

[willow gale]

Hi @ruby mountain I don't have that version installed so I can't test but this page (https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/arabic-hebrew.html) states: Character direction defaults can be set from the Character > Middle Eastern Features flyout menu.

[willow gale]

Hi @pastel fractal I have to run but not following the question, so perhaps clarifyng it will help someone else help you faster. If you create this logo in Illustrator, place it in InDesign and scale it, it can't give you a smart object error message because neither of those two apps use smart objects—just Photoshop does. I'm not clear where Photoshop fits in your described workflow. Again, likely someone else can help, but I'll swing back later to check.

[ruby mountain]

ignore my previous message it was an optical illusion

[boreal hare]

does anybody know where or how i can upload RAW into creative cloud?

[pastel fractal]

The smart object problem applies to photoshop. You misunderstood the question we asked. The problem in the image is the problem that occurred when I transferred the logo from Illustrator to Indesign. The smart object problem is valid for Photoshop

You may need to use an Adjustment Layer to shift the colors and use a mask on the Adjustment to only affect those areas on the edges.

[rigid jay]

Can I apply text so I can share the file to someone who doesn't have the specific font installed? like illustrator's outline

[ripe quest]

Do you want the text in that font to still be editable or not? If so, they would need to install the font on their system.

Otherwise, you would have to rasterize the text.

[rigid jay]

No, not editable

just to send it to my professor

yk

[ripe quest]

As a PSD file?

[rigid jay]

Yeah

[ripe quest]

Is the font that you used an Adobe Font?

No

I got it from the internet, it's in my system only

Is there a way to disable clear layer with ctrl+backspace? I went through the shortcuts and I don't see it

It's really frustrating when I try to zoom but accidentally clear my layer because they're next to each other, then don't notice and end up not being able to retrieve my work

[ripe quest]

It's not "Ctrl + backspace" - its just Backspace that deletes things. How about Zooming a different way? For example Spacebar Ctrl + click and drag...

[atomic zephyr]

Oh 😭 that’s silly of me

[ripe quest]

You can probably get close to this using Layer Styles but this is probably done another way.

I mean, there are likely multiple text layers used and various Layer Styles employed for each. I don't know exactly. I would have to mess around with it for a while and try to figure it out. This sort of effect is probably available to download on Freepik or something like that and it would probably be faster/easier to look there.

[summer violet]

It seems to work

The next step, then, is finding a way to make some of the texts formatted specific ways. Like making some translucent, some white, etc.
I also want to draw over some. More like imitate Adobe Illustrator using brushes, with some of the design going over the text, while the rest goes under

I do have to go right now, though. So maybe we could resume later? Or if you find it more convenient you could link a few things so I can see them in my own time?

[mortal yoke]

[rocky breach]

hi guys, is there any way to turn make the upper of the letter "B" smaller than it bottom

[ripe quest]

You're likely going to have to make selections and use a Layer Mask to remove the pixels you don't want to see. It will likely require a bit of tweaking. Something like this...

[ripe quest]

Describe "smaller"

[viscid vapor]

thank you!!

[rocky breach]

like the circle on top that make up the "B" is smaller than the cirlce bellow that make up the "B"

[ripe quest]

One moment...

[rocky breach]

yeah no prob

[ripe quest]

It might be possible to use Content-Aware Scale to scale that portion down a bit. However, the texture will shift and you might have to repair that after.

I think it would be easier to make a new, perfect "B" shape to look like you want. Then apply a texture to that new shape.

[rocky breach]

I think this look perfect for what I need. I just need a draft sketch so this is awesome

thanks a lot

[rocky breach]

did you use the content aware scale for this ?

[ripe quest]

Yes. Here is my example PSD file if you want to look at it.

[ripe quest]

That isn't going to be easy.

Perhaps you could use a Mask to remove the right side, warp the left side so it was more round. Then duplicate/mirror it to make it symmetrical. But this is theoretical since I don't really know how good it needs to look.

Graphics and video apps are resource hungry so generally, you'll need a bit of power (RAM and GPU resources).

[cobalt glen]

how much?

I can upgrade ram & storage later on.

How much it costs depends on the brand and components. You'll probably have to set a budget and then figure out what you can afford.

does anybody know of a photoshop feature were i can add designs to a blank garment and photoshop makes it look like the design is actually on the garment with ease?

[ripe quest]

You can usually find templates and mock-ups. But I think it will depend what you're looking for. What type of "garmnet?"

[rose forum]

hoodies and such

i have mock ups

[rose forum]

i just wan to drag the designs on to them and it look realistic, is that a possible feature in PS?

[ripe quest]

A feature? That isn't a specific capability of Photoshop. It would depend on the template or mock-up.

[rose forum]

ok i saw something on social media where one could just drag a design onto a garment, press a drop down menu and it would look real.

guess that was a fake video

would be nice though

I've been using blend, and editing the design on the garment myself to make them look real

but if i could save time that would be great

[ripe quest]

They were probably using a specific clothing template, using Smart Objects.

[rose forum]

nope not a specfic clothing tempalate, wish i could find it again. ive worked with templates for a long time.. they literally went to a drop down, and selected "place design on object" (or soemthing like that) and made it look real

sigh lol

[ripe quest]

Yes. You can do that with Smart Objects in a specific template that was already designed to be realistic. There is no feature in Photoshop or no "make it look realistic" button.

My eraser fills with colour instead of actually erasing. pls help 😭

[crimson topaz]

is anyone here godly at photoshop i need help w something

[dire sable]

the eraser use the same color as the background of the layer, for example if you erase a copy of image you done with Ctrl+J Command + J then you erase it will transparent but if you erase on the background will be same color as the background color you have selected. Then you erase will you get the same color as the background for the selected layer.
So if you get a color then you erase you try to erase somthing on a background layer ther is lock to the left, but do you unlock yoy will get a transparent eraser.

[lean kelp]

no worries 🤗

[dire sable]

Sandrin do I remember wrong or have they change the how the eraser work on a background layer, before it always got transparent then you used eraser no mater what layer you selected. I seldom use the eraser tool.

[vapid flume]

For me it's as it's always been. It erases as transparent

Not sure if it's something that can be changed to be honest
You got 3 options in the eraser (that I never use, hence why I'm not entirely sure if they can be changed)

If you want to erase a single colour (eg white) from the background then maybe the magic eraser is the best option?

[dire sable]

Then I didn't remember wrong maybe they have change it PS 2024

[vapid flume]

I honestly don't think they have it changed. I'm on the latest version and it's as it's always been - at least for me.

Maybe we need more info about the issue (and maybe it's a plain old bug!)

As usual, a screenshot of the whole Photoshop window with the layer panels showing etc is always more helpful than anything

[dire sable]

if I erase on the looked background the eraser get the same color as the background swath , but on a copy of background it get transparent. so it looks like it's only on a background layer the eraser work that way.

[kind violet]

yo guys i updated my photoshop from the last year version what changed in this new one

[vapid flume]

Well, I cannot erase on a locked background since it's locked. It's supposed not to be working when a layer is locked

[vapid flume]

Plenty of things!
you can see for yourself here

help> what's new!

[kind violet]

oh its just their ai tools

[vapid flume]

not necessarily just the AI, but also the contextual bar if you haven't had it previously, an some optimisations (GPU etc)

[dire sable]

Sandrin if you unlook the background layer you get a layer 0 instead of a look if you now go to meny/new/ new background from layer. You get a loock again and now you can paint on the layer

[vapid flume]

I still can't erase a layer (background or otherwise) that is locked

Maybe that's just me?

[kind violet]

I pressed hide bar and now i can't get it back LOL

[dire sable]

dont use the look at the layer panel if you do it will be look and you can't paint

[vapid flume]

Well I know that Thank you 🙂

I tought you told me I could draw on a locked layer

[kind violet]

nevermind just fixed it

[vapid flume]

I'm reassured, since it's the point of locking layers 🙂

[dire sable]

the looks work on a diffrent way it look like, then I use the look on the panel and paint it automatic get a new layer

[vapid flume]

I'll try that. I've done a quick test now with the sequence you described (new layer from background) and it's just not working (or let's say it's working as I expect it to work)

I'll try further

[dire sable]

I will do a screenchoot

[vapid flume]

No I got it

my background colour was white and it painted with white

so, today I learned that a locked layer is not entirely llocked, which is the most idiotic thing ever

so accept my apologies 🙂 @dire sable

As I said, I rarely use the eraser tool. and I would never do anything on the background layer (which is discarded first thing in my usual workflow. I even have an action that does that automatically)

[dire sable]

NP Sandrine It's the same for me if you will be sure that the background is looked look it from the panel I have learned by the same mistake.

[vapid flume]

I still think it doesn't make sense. On a user logic point of view, it's very counter intuitive. I can only think that it's a remnant of an ancient behaviour, because I cannot see the idea behind it.

If it had happened to me by accident, then I wouldn't have known and I would have probably asked the question here 🙂

[dire sable]

the only way you can see the layer is looked is that the look is high light in the panel

[vapid flume]

I never keep the background layers because they're dead pixels for me. I would replace by a solid colour adjustment layer which does the same thing except that it's not counted in the file size (or only marginally) and you cannot accidentally draw on it. So that's what I have an action that I run every time I start a new file (that asks for it) which replaces the background layer by a solid colour white

[dire sable]

I have learned by PixImperfect always make a copy of your background, maybe this is the reason.

[vapid flume]

I tend to really avopid pixel layers if they can be replaced with adjustment layers. It just makes the file lighter. Particularly if you start to work with 10s of layers (or 100s as it's sometimes my case) on big files

Sometimes a bunch of solid pixel layers are the difference between a .psd and a .psb, which you'd want to avoid (at least I'd want to)

[dire sable]

if you hover ower the look the looked from the menu that explains why it not total looked, and now we know why the eraser get a color because, only the transparent pixels is looked, not the color pixels

[vapid flume]

I do, however copy backlground layers when I open an image, and lock it (expecting it's really locked by the way 🙂 ), so I always have a back up in case of mistake. But I would never do it for a white pixel layer

[dire sable]

same as I, and now after ours discussion I have learn it even more

[river otter]

Hard to understand this conversation.

Once unlocked layer is not anymore really lockable, is that the point?

[vapid flume]

Yes it is!
That's what those icons are for

[dire sable]

We discussed the Layer Look mechanizes in Ps and why the eraser get a color in some case

[vapid flume]

You can decide to lock an unlocked layer, either completely (the lock icon) or just position, transparency, drawing, or auto-nesting

You generally lock your layers so you don't accidentally act on them.
I usually just lock the position and transparency because in my line of work I don't need much else, but you can choose as you see fit

[river otter]

Aha.
Ereaser gets color if Photoshop considers locked layer as background layer.
If locked layer is just locked layer, ereaser will not work.

[vapid flume]

yes that's what I learned today 🙂

[river otter]

Interesting.
I did not know this either.

[river otter]

How you pick what to lock?
I just press lock button which I assume locks it fully.

[vapid flume]

Depending on what I would need to do on the layer. Let's imagine I have to retouch a face. I would lock the position, but not the drawing. Imagine I want to create shadows on a base drawing , I would lock the transparency (although I think I would prefer clipping another layer to the base drawing).

I am sure there are specific usages for specific type of work (video?, texturing?)

You might want to lock it somehow but still want to add layer styles, or change the blending mode. You can't if you lock everything

[dire sable]

This a fun thread Sandrine and we both learned something new

Time for lunch have a great day

[vapid flume]

Exactly! something new everyday! 🙂

Lunch for me too and then work! Bye!

is it possible to photoshop writing on a picture eg change the numbers on a picture of a passport

[safe gazelle]

why when i make a adjustment layer with a layer mask and when i paint white it paints but when i use black it doesnt erase

nvm i figured it out its because of the mode

[frank raven]

can someone help me with this? im a beginner and the remove background tool isnt working its magic too well because the fins or gills are somewhat seethrough

[summer violet]

Wonderful stuff. Truly
My only obstacle is...

And I have used both methods to get the text without the background

But it seems the stroke style option doesn't "know" that

I'll have a look again in a bit (shorter bit than last time)

[ripe quest]

If you used Blend If to remove the background, you'll probably have to rasterize that layer first. Then apply the Layer Styles.

[rough idol]

how come when i export as a png, the png loses saturation and vibrancy whenever i export it? idk if this helps but my project has gradient maps and the dimensions are 5000x5000

[grizzled berry]

Hi I wanna scale my robot by trying to go command + T however it gives a error like this, any ideas?

[trim ginkgo]

Hey guys! Anyone know how this effect is called?

[late osprey]

it's not called anything specific, you've got three books, all in a floating stack.

[late osprey]

you're on the wrong layer

[late osprey]

what are your export settings?

[grizzled berry]

no i am not

[late osprey]

you might try unmesh's piximperfect tutorials on youtube - he did one sometime back that dealt with this. personally, i'd seperate the fins to their own layer, remve the background around them, then make the layer semi-transparent

[grizzled berry]

i just selected whole file and tried to transform

[late osprey]

rasterize your effects and commit them to your layer, then try the transform

it's selecting something with no data

[grizzled berry]

how do i do that

[summer violet]

Not bad

Thanks again

[lilac chasm]

Hey people i need your advice. Is there a way to calibrate the colours on the tab s9 ultra or those tablets? I plan to make tshirts so need accurate colours .

Also i heard ipad pros colours are calibrated and correct, is that true?

[late osprey]

right click on the layer with the effects, select rasterize from the menu

[river otter]

Yes, you are.

You are on group.

[grizzled berry]

but i used to transform stuff when its on the group

[river otter]

It will not work because it is a path.

[grizzled berry]

yeahh

[river otter]

Activate the path.

[grizzled berry]

so how do i get rid of path selection thing

i don't know how to do that

[river otter]

Go to the paths on right panel.

[grizzled berry]

i couldnt see it

[river otter]

You actually have empty layer as I see on screenshot.

Path is not drawn on layers.

[grizzled berry]

i have nothing to do with the path tho

i need to edit the shape

i used the path thing to do a flame effect

[river otter]

To have path shape/vector on layer you need to fill path with color, turn it to shape.

[grizzled berry]

i don't wanna edit or make any path

i just wanna edit the shape

so i wanna close this path mode

however i have no idea how to

[river otter]

Well, I don't know what else is in that group.
Glows from eyes look empty, but it could be low opacity white.
Recheck that group for empty layers.

Hi Andy. Is that happening with the Brush tool? See if going to Photoshop Preferences/Technology Preview and check “Disable Native Canvas” and restarting Photoshop helps.

You want to flag to be in the shape of the country? If yes, add the flag on the layer directly above the country layer and resize if necessary to cover it. Then right click the flag layer > Create Clipping Mask.

Man, armed with this knowledge, who knows what serious and high quality images I could work on next!

[late osprey]

snap a shot of something in the room with you, with your phone, and then turn it into an oil painting

[summer violet]

I could do that
But... I prefer getting creative sometimes, which is an excellent opportunity to go finish my comic test!

Speaking of that, I am currently looking at it again!

I am curious what this symbol represents

It appeared once I created a new layer and clicked on "Artboard from layer"

Maybe it is referring to Layer 0 as belonging to Artboard 1?
Just a guess

I did this because of a guide on CMYK files using Artboards

[summer violet]

Scratch that, my biggest issue at the present moment is building on existing guide templates for a large file meant for two pages.
I don't know how to make the distance between the two new columns 225 px from the central column, despite searching

[summer violet]

I'm so freaking silly lol

I solved it! I think!

Needed a little brain power, but I think it worked

And I assume it is centered, looking at the ruler

... uh... I'm sure it's fine that way and won't introduce new obstacles along my production

The width is 4960 pixels, A3 in landscape

[golden plinth]

how do i fix the pixelness of the font ? this is in indesign

or you can use the image upscaler on capcut's magic tools page

i guess it makes sense

i think it would be tough for it to upscale

the logos would get butchered

you just turn creativity off and resemblance up to max

how can i make the rectangle like in this picture its see through but it has a glow in it

[river otter]

Do any of you know a font that has a curve at the bottom left of the capitol A? I have looked everywhere but I can't find one!

[vapid flume]

I assume this is photo of a texture, that is masked so only the rectangle is visible and set with something like an overlay blending mode at a lower opacity
bear with me and I'll share a screenshot

see my layers (1) is the mask, see how the white strip on the left only shows the texture (2) that the mask is linked to.
This layer has had it's opacity reduced (3) and the blending mode changed to verlay (4)

now maybe overlay isn't the right blending mode for you, you need to test. It depends on how your texture is:
Mine is white background with black dirt or whatever

so I would probably choose "multiply instead

your particular image has a drop shdow which will be a layer style (exagerated here)

and the glow is probably given with the blending mode

So there will be trials and errors because it all depends on the texture you choose to put there. I suspect that if you want that glow, you will need to find a transparent image with -say -white specs or noise, and then change the blending mode to something like overlay or soft light. But you definitely need to test things by yourself

@river otter don't forget you have an AI upscaler directly in Photoshop!
in filter>neural filter, the filter is called super zoom

once you've run the super zoom filter and clicked OK, you'll notice that the image is cropped.
You need to go toimage>reveal allfor it to be whole again

Yo, so I have 2 images, how would I align the pixels of each image correctly?

[vapid flume]

Can you show what the images are?

are they similar in any way?

[river otter]

ye imma just show a recording cause I cant take a screenshot

so like if I press ctrl and then select the 2 different images, the pixels of each one in different directions are different, how would I make it the same for each one?

[vapid flume]

So do you mean you want to make the faces the same size and everything?

Honestly, first of all I would create a square (with a vector shape) that will act as a mask, so you're sure your faces are fit exactly within that square. Then you can adjust the size of the face within that square, and only what's within the square will be visisble

so imagine your faces are the colour layers, and the vector mask constrain the image into the square

that's a vector mask

once you got that, you can use guides to create your layout. in that case so you can position your squares exactly where they need to be.
I would suggest you try a guide layout

see if I create a very nice even guide layout (guides are bright cyan here)

and you see that my squares aren't aligned to the guides!

once you've set your guides layout, you can position your layers very neatly

(this is very badly done here, just showing)

once your squares are positionned correctly, you'll just need to move the faces inside the masks so it fits...
Here are the tutorials that may help you
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7526LhIXzoA
https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/masking-layers-vector-masks.html

for the guide layout

https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/grid-guides.html

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Onnz15QhQJ8

I'm assuming your making a thumbnail or something of that kind so it's quite crucial that you also learn about smart objects so you don't spend ages replacing the faces in the square and re-positionning them each time you create a new image with different people

[river otter]

oh okay, much appreciated, thank you!

[vapid flume]

I know it's a lot to take in, but just check the tutorials and if it's something you want to do on a regular basis, it will help you create a template so all you got to do in the end is changing the faces and possibly some text.

[astral dove]

Does anyone know how to make this type of background?

[vapid flume]

Yes, I did try a bit, but it's quite fidgety because you cannot arrange effects in a specific order like you are able to in Illustrator, so the interaction between all the effects have to be thought of carefully

[vapid flume]

I would suspect a gradient, and then a texture on top of it, set in a overlay or multiply blending mode, with the opacity down. Just check the posts earlier today where I explained how to apply textures to someone else

[sharp vortex]

I can try with illustrator, but I'm total noob there...probably photoshop will be easier option for me,thank you

[vapid flume]

What I would suggest is to try to find a a style that someone offers
they're a set of layer styles that you can download and install. If you find something vaguely similar, you can open it in the layer style and try to either modify them, or reverse engineer them
see for example those you can find on Behance (but you can find them everywhere really)

I swear by the reverse engineering method when I try to learn something. IMHO it's the best way to learn how things are done instead of simply following a tutorial (unless you're in a rush)

Once you get what you want you can save that style, so you can apply it to other texts

[sharp vortex]

Got it, thank you for the advice:)

hey guys how do I crop one photo without the rest follwing

[steady verge]

Is there any way I can adjust the photoshop pattern function so the pattern fits perfectly without cutting off?

[serene coral]

it depends only on your pattern. The pattern layer (if that's what you're using) only tiles what you tell it to tile

of course, you can rasterize the pattern fill layer and adjust it to fit manually using transform mode

[serene coral]

I would recommend using masks. Make a selection with the square selection tool , make the selection and with the proper layer selected press the mask button at the bottom of the layers panel

[serene coral]

Transform mode to skew it first, then some warping to make it follow the paper

[gusty swift]

one more question if you're still here...is there a way to like copy effects from another open project?

[serene coral]

depends if the effects are still live or rasterized... but you can just hold alt (to duplicate) and grab the smart filters to move anywhere else

[gusty swift]

I mean between these

[serene coral]

not sure of the layers inside but yes, you can drag an effect over the other tab and it will activate

This is just a general photoshop / editing concern, not for exactly Adobe Photoshop.

Where and what is the tool called that allows me to cut out the text (SizzleBurger) out of the picture?

I just want the burger to be visible (without the text), what allows me to do that?
Like free internet software, or Canva?

[placid fulcrum]

I just started out with photoshop and its really hard for me to blend images in another or adjust lighting. Do you have any tips how I could learn this?

[signal axle]

Can someone photoshop a my roblox avatar

[river otter]

Adjusting lighting/color balance is done by levels/curves for lighting and contrast and saturation/vibrance for color match.
Now, some photos will have more cyan color, others will be warmer and so on, to match such you will need to fix particular color strenght.

For blending images, it depends what you mean by your question, the way you want to blend, but half job is matching color and then brushing with opacity.

What you ask is basically a freedom of artist, but these are tools you gotta use.

[river otter]

Removing text and redrawing removed burger parts.
Pen tool.

[river otter]

Selective color is the tool to fix particular color.
At least I use it for that.

[placid fulcrum]

Actually, after removing text and part of burger, these parts that would be missing are creatable by rectangle with bended corners.

How do i end a path with the pen tool. I don't want to continue it I want to start drawing a new path without needing a new path layer???

[river otter]

Hello i need help, i want to break down an illustration drawing into multiple layers for animation project, but everytime i use a Pen tool to do so, i get chunks of line art missing, is there an efficient way to bring back missing colors and parts cut out?

[sharp vortex]

i think i did it:) without any templates, just a lot of trial and error,thanx

[cinder viper]

Can u do that for me? I don’t have access for computer right now

[warm hill]

how do i make my text like this

this is my text

[steady verge]

Ahh I see, tnx!

[river otter]

Should i use an inverted Eraser brush and then Color replacement to fix the lines? I tried that but it came out very wrong

[rapid mason]

is anyone in here familiar with s_Cartoon?

[exotic ember]

used pixilate filter once on text and now every single font i use is pixilated, even in other projects. how do i turn it off??

[willow gale]

Filters are applied to the selected layer, they don't carry over to other files. Check the anti-alising on the Options bar. (The aa button). Is it set to None?

[exotic ember]

Yes its set to none

and it is carrying over

idk why

i used filter pixilate mosiac and now it just keeps happening to every font even when i open a new project

my aa is set to none like always

[willow gale]

None means no blending on the edges. The default is Sharp. Option bar settings are sticky state—they remain in place after you set them.

The sticky state concept applies to all tools. I routinely reset all my tools so that I'm not fighting choices I made in a previous project. Right click the tool icon on the Options bar and either Reset Tool or Reset all Tools.

[exotic ember]

That didint work

[vague trout]

Set your text layer to the smart object by right clicking on the text layer and selecting, then go to filters>radial blur, blur method: spin and play with the amount setting, the higher the number the more blur. Hope it helps.

[willow gale]

What didn't work?

[exotic ember]

i think i may have fixed it actually

i dont think it was the filter, for some reason my resolution of my project was set to like 30

actually no it didint fix it

im so lost

i watch 1 min vid on how to pixilate text and this happens lol

[willow gale]

LOL. We can fix it. It's not the filter, it sounds like we agree on that. Can you share a screen shot with the type selected, the anti-aliasing setting visible, and tell me the file resolution and the magification value?

[exotic ember]

one thing i am noticing is when i zoom out my text looks normal. i am working on a very small 240px by 120px canvas size. the thing is when i would zoom in on very small text any time before it would look smooth with no pixilation but after that prior project now it is.

im guessing it has something to do with me zooming in so much but ive never had that problem in the past when zooming in that my font goes all pixilated

[willow gale]

Well yes, that's why I was asking for the magnification level.

[exotic ember]

resolution is 1080 pixel/centimeter should i make it higher?

sorry, about 240 mag level

[willow gale]

Let's back up for a second. How is the final image going to be seen? Viewed online? Added to an InDesign print layout?

[exotic ember]

online website

top left header logo

[willow gale]

So then you want to design it so that it looks good at 100% magnification, and size it to fill the space designated for it on the website.

[exotic ember]

yes

just find its easier to work on zoomed in, usally i do with all my projects

[willow gale]

Yes. zoom in for detail work but worry about how the type looks at 100%.

I'm looking for a resource for you—have been the entire time—but can find it. BRB

[exotic ember]

i appricate the help

i see a few ppl have had this problem to

[willow gale]

I can't find it... I can see it in my little head—it's a table that explains the anti-aliasing options and where to use each. If I find it, I'll come back and post the link.

[exotic ember]

okay thank you

[willow gale]

Setting small type clearly is a challenge in a bitmapped file. My advice is focus on the clarity of the letterforms at 100%—try out the various anti-aliasing options to see which looks best—and then don't worry about it as you zoom in. You really don't want it set to none, though. Let Ps smooth out the edges for you.

[exotic ember]

yeah thats what i have been doing thank you

[willow gale]

You are welcome.

[exotic ember]

i do need to pixilate this font tho

[willow gale]

??

[exotic ember]

little scared im gonna make things worse lol

[willow gale]

With the filter?

[exotic ember]

yes, well i dont really know any other ways to pixilate font so

[willow gale]

Filters are only applied to the selected layer. They don't carry forward. Options bar settings do, filters truly do not.

[exotic ember]

the pixilate filter seems to not even be working anymore

[willow gale]

I only have a few more minutes. Which one are you using and are you converting the type to a smart object or rasterizing?

[exotic ember]

its okay i think i am gonna leave the pixilate alone for now i do appricate all the help tho

[willow gale]

OK. Don't be discouraged! Come back when you are ready to try again.

What font would be best for this?

[light tendon]

I have an alpha texture I'm using in a 3d program, but the resulting model looks like this (pixelated as you can see)
how can I edit my alpha image to fix this a bit? Its 8k resolution 16bit, tried a small gaussian blur but no changes

[exotic ember]

hey bb not sure if your around but i finished the logo curious if i can edit it even tho its a eps file

or do all files need to be psd to edit in photo shop?

[summer violet]

A question for later review:

If I have saved my progress and then the file corrupts, is it no longer viable to recover the work?
I know that temporary files exist which may work, but I mean is the main file done for?
What precautions can I regularly take to ensure my work is mostly safe from loss due to such incidents?

I appreciate just a ping and response. I don't want to drag it out into a full discussion

[inland canopy]

does anyone know how i can recreate this text in photoshop? anyone know the font and how to do the effect

[white cedar]

Goodnight does anyone know how to do the LOVELY part of this?

[white cedar]

This might be illustrator

[jade flare]

hey everyone, i'm having trouble with clarity, so i paste the following graphic from illustrator into photoshop and it looks messed up

when i export it also looks crap

any idea how to imrpove

[tardy thistle]

did you get your question resolved? I was wondering why you weren't using vectors? Especially if exporting from a 3D program..

[light tendon]

Do you mean vector displacement maps?

[compact crane]

is there a channel where i can ask for some work?

[astral stratus]

my grandfather is a painter by heart and i want to see if he will paint this, only issue is i want these bodies out of the picture entirely. i dont know how to Photoshop at all and was hoping someone would want to take this task on and make this picture look completely free of any bodies in the foreground

[dusk spear]

When ever I mask using the object selection tool, I always get this feathered black and white border even when I am on full hardness. Do any of you guys know why this is occuring? Thanks.

[harsh lion]

How can I fix this And how do I set up a stracth disk

[keen arrow]

you have low space on your C drive

[harsh lion]

It has 110 GB free isnt that a lot

@keen arrow

[keen arrow]

is should be enough. maybe double check if that's actually the free space you have on your drive. I had that same error a while ago because of my low disk space.

[harsh lion]

So what my next step to do
