I can't help you then. those were my "lil 2 cents". get in touch with the support or wait for one of the experts around here to answer you

[sly hawk]

Yeah, your cavas isn't large enough. There literally aren't enough pixels to render it clearly:
#❓ask-a-question message

See a previous analogy of mine here: #❓ask-a-question message

Yes, you can use the 'Warp' Features to do this.

How big is your image/Canvas?

Most people who have this trouble have accidentally made their empty canvas insanely huge buy mistake. - eg. 2,000 inches instead of pixels.

I'm not getting the same issue, how are you selecting the treeline?

How are you setting the image/canvas size?

Hey, make sure to share the paiting if/when it gets done! 🙂

[dusk spear]

I used object selection tool to select the sky, then I masked and inverted that, thats when I get this weird feather.

Mines not that bad:

[sly hawk]

1200x1500.... what?

Pixels?

Inches?
mm
cm?

[harsh lion]

cm

[sly hawk]

That's your problem then.

That means you have a canvas 12m across.

What are you trying to make? Just a picture for the internet?

[harsh lion]

a picture

a sports poster

[sly hawk]

An A3 poster, would be about 30cm x 42 cm.....
Instead of 1200cm x1500cm.

You change the size and I promise you, you won't have any more scratch disk errors.

Hi

I have access to 1 To of Adobe Storage through a folder "Creative Cloud Files" on my computer

I heard this service will be discontuined, what will my folder become?

Is there a service that will continue to offer this storage offer separately?

thx

[hushed niche]

Hi Pierre, (from another Pierre) this storage tier is usually used for your online Lightroom images storage.

[hushed niche]

Hi, you can change the type of warp, IIRC, it is the arc lower, and you need to change the bend upwards.

[hushed niche]

Ah, missed that.

[sly hawk]

https://petapixel.com/2023/09/06/adobe-is-ending-creative-cloud-syncing-heres-what-that-means/

I thought Adobe Creative Cloud Sync for teams was a bit stupid anyway.

My colleague creates a bunch of video files for a client, and then the sync software DOWNLOADS those files to my PC, to help me stay 'in sync' with his files? This alone was a reason we never used it. - I want access to them on the cloud, but I don't want it to waste my bandwidth and PC storage space in the meantime.

[hushed niche]

Hi, I’ve heard that some use the new window function in Ps: window>Arrange>New Window for documentname, move it to a second screen, and record it, this way, there’s no tool, and you do not have the zoom changes that can be problematic when speed up.

[sly hawk]

Oooh. Yeah, a seperate window on a different screen means you can record it without the constant zooming in and out! - Smart idea 🙂

[hushed niche]

And, in addition to the excellent explanation by James, if you have layers, there’s no need to use Layer masks, create your gradient on an empty layer on top of the rim layer, then Alt-click between them: it creates a clipping mask. The transparency of the bottom layer will shape what’s visible on top. (That is, if you don’t want the light to bleed over the rest of the image)

[sly hawk]

(I always forget about 'Clipping Masks' since I'm so used to using 'Layer Masks')

[hushed niche]

There are so many workflows on Ps. The knockout is one Ishould use more often, @plush stirrup made an must see series about it on AdobeLiveUk.

It was a3parts one, IIRC, this one might have been part of it: https://creativecloud.adobe.com/cc/discover/video/Photoshop-Crash-Course-Top-Tips-for-Masks-with-Tim-Moebest/19099?locale=fr-BE

When I open photoshop I get an error saying "This file is bad or corrupted." I have tried going into my files for photoshop settings and deleting Gradients.psp but it doesnt generate a new one when I open photoshop so that fix didnt work and im yet to find another, any help would be greatly appreciated :)

[willow gale]

Hi @river otter Draw your shapes (I used the Rectangle tool, rounded the corners and duplicated). Add the image on the layer above and make the image layer a clipping mask.

[willow gale]

Hi @tawny lotus What is the exact error message? Here is the generic troubleshooting info from Adobe: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/file-recovery-photoshop.html

[willow gale]

Any file in any application can become corrupt. Remember to always create incremental backups (saving one project with different dates or time) or save to cloud service that does this for you (dropbox, Save to Cloud files in Adobe's Save as dialog box) so that if you can't recover a corrupt file, you can open a previous version.

[tawny lotus]

after pressing OK i can launch into photoshop, but any file with a gradient seems to go all black when opened and also dont have any of the default gradient presets

[willow gale]

Hi Dave. An outer glow doesn't have that sort of positioning control. The background underneath seems to be black. You could just draw a black box (or whatever color the backgroud is) over it to block it under the line. Not elegant, but effective.

[knotty olive]

yeah I just made a colored rectangle below the line'

[willow gale]

Which works!

[willow gale]

Ok, I had to go read up on that message. So you were able to locate the gradient.psp file and deleting it didn't help. I found this:
Solution for "Gradient File is bad or Corrupted."
Exit Photoshop.
Locate your Gradients.PSP file.
In Windows, it's located in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2020\Adobe Photoshop 2020 Settings
Copy it to a temporary folder. You probably won't need it but save it, just in case.
Delete the Gradients.PSP file from the Adobe Photoshop 2020 Settings folder above. Photoshop will regenerate a new Gradients.PSP file when launched.
Launch Photoshop. If you still get the error, create a new document and use a gradient preset. Then quit and reopen Photoshop.
That should resolve it.

I added italics to the last instructions... if you still get the error...

[willow gale]

Hi @jovial pond Please take a look at this post. It has some good suggestions for you: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/p-ability-to-save-as-embroidery-files-dst-files/td-p/10921850

@willow gale do you have an answer for this? If not is there a better place for me to ask?

[willow gale]

I've never used it so won't be much help. Most folks here are off for the night, so you might ask again tomorrow. You could also ask on the Adobe Community Forums (https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem/ct-p/ct-photoshop?page=1&sort=latest_replies&filter=all&lang=all&tabid=discussions) and/or one of the subs on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/photoshop/).

Hi! On the left you have the toolbar. Either you can try to go to the windows menu and select tools, or you can try the Alt+TAB shortcut, If I remember correctly.
In order to pin it to the side, grab it from the top and slide it to the edge of the screen.

Here is some essential reading on the topic: https://www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/getting-know-photoshop-interface/

[pine cipher]

There’s literally a button „learn how to fix“ and you still can’t manage to fix this by your own?

[summer violet]

Hmmm I wanna make sure I know what I'm doing again

@ripe quest, is this what you might consider a "bad practice?"

And it seems I didn't get a response to this question

[vapid flume]

I haven't been really following the conversation as I was away yesterday, but to be honest, a corrupted file should be the exception. I only got a couple in my long life as a Photoshop user
Now, I know it's no comfort, but the only thing you can do to remedy that would be to save intermediate versions as soon as an important update is done.
I do that regularly with som clients whom I know they will want to revisit other versions at some point (clients, hey? 🙂 ). So I would name my file myfile_V1.psd, my file _V2.psd and so on...
You can keep them all as I do (I consider storage space as cheap, and my time as expensive) or revisit and delete non-needed versions at the end of the project

If you are afraid of corrupted files happening again, that's the only thing that would help I think

Also, automated back ups? (but it would back up a corrupted file if you don't realise it soon enough)

[stiff anchor]

How do I crop a zoomed in picture? I’m taking macro photos and want to have a magnification super close up

[vapid flume]

You can use the crop tool (shortcut C) to "cut out the edges" Like you would with a print and a pair of scissors. Just make sure that the end result is big enough in terms of number of pixels for what you need to do

You can quickly see your pixel size at the bottom left of the canvas

[summer violet]

So, make copies as I go on? Alright

[vapid flume]

Yes, but it's maybe overkill. a corrupted file once in awhile (as in once every blue moon) is OK, if you get corrupted files constantly, then there is another issue.

I mean if you do complex stuff with 100s of layers on a 10000 pixel wide image, then making copies could be an issue as well

[summer violet]

I tend to minimize my layers

For example, an oil painting is just one to three layers

Thanks, anyway

[summer violet]

Now regarding this, what do you think?

[vapid flume]

I tend to use as many layers as possible in order to be able to redo any part of my project without sacrificing the rest, but each workflow is valid. I just hate working for nothing 🙂

[summer violet]

I make it one layer so that it's like I'm really doing oil paint lol

[vapid flume]

so even if I create shadows, I would create maybe 5 layers for shadows so I can say blur them individually and not selecting the area and blurring that area of the whole shadow layer - this is an example)

[vapid flume]

do you mean creating artboards?

[summer violet]

Creating artboards in that specific manner, where I leave the background out of both

[summer violet]

This might hinge on another kind of project that I might work on. So I hope I don't lose my progress in those 1-3 layer works

[vapid flume]

NO, I do the same personnally. Sometimes I leave the background out of it as I may want to have a different BG for each
But I'm not big on artboards in PS, simpley because it's not really the kind of work that I do
I might do it if I need templates for social media for example

[vapid flume]

As I said, whatever works for you. I have been trained at the school of "non destructive or die" because creating photoshop work was really all manual work then, and you wouldn't want to do anything again because you screwed a layer 🙂

[summer violet]

Wait how do those 3 have a green background

[vapid flume]

It honestly doesn't take me any more time to do it properly because I don't even thing about it

3 background because I've copied and pasted them 🙂

But ideally I could have created a smart object with those background and copied it in each artboard, so if I change one, it changes all the others

I was lazy there 🙂

[summer violet]

Ah

I didn't see the scroll bar, so I thought your layers were just three layer folders

[vapid flume]

If it was a project for a client I would have made use of smart objects with layer comps. The aim of this particular file is to be able to change the artwork (record) easily and change the background colour as well

[summer violet]

I'm going to use Artboards as a test to see what works best for a comic

[vapid flume]

Basically copies of artboards with smart objects to change the artwork (back and front)

[summer violet]

Huh. I didn't realize I get a solid white background without using a background now

[vapid flume]

and then export artboards as files

Yes projects with artboards have white as standard

[summer violet]

I haven't used smart objects before
Is there a specific menu you use to edit them?

[summer violet]

Cool!

[vapid flume]

When you export your artboards you can choose to export with, or without, the background

[summer violet]

That makes sense

[vapid flume]

As a general rule you cannot edit then (as in paint with them), you need to open them separately to be able to. However you can apply filters non-destructively to a smart object. It makes your lfe easier that you can replace objects within a smart objects
For example in the case of this projects for the record covers I could easily switch between one cover and another just by choosing "replace contents" and choose another cover. And provided that both covers are the same size, they will be positionned exactly at the same place. Combine that with layer comps and then you got a uniquely versatile workflow, when you need to create avariations of the same layout with different assets

[summer violet]

Nice

[summer violet]

I am bad with acronyms, so I wanna know what "comp" is short for

[vapid flume]

composite

[summer violet]

Thanks for the links

[vapid flume]

that's how they're called in Photoshop, but it stands for composites

[summer violet]

Regarding what I did, you said leaving the background out, even when it's creating a giant white rectangle behind my artboards, isn't bad practice, right?

[summer violet]

Gotcha

[vapid flume]

I don't know if you have a spacific use for a giant background as an artboard

I don't do comics and have no real knowledge of that so I wouldn't know. I know that there would be no use for me in what I do

[summer violet]

I'm talking about this happening when I remove the BG layer from the lowest artboard

[vapid flume]

In the case of the project I screenshot earlier, ecah artboard as it's own background, because I need to be able to change the BG for each if I need to

[summer violet]

I guess I'm misusing artboards in that case

[vapid flume]

Yes, but I would never need a lower level artboard for anything

do you need to export that lower level artboard for anything? what is its use?

[summer violet]

It's not a lower level artboard lol

Apologies, I am not that good with providing context sometimes

[vapid flume]

lower level in the layer stack

the one below all the others

[summer violet]

Yup. Is it bad to have that?

[vapid flume]

no, it would just confuse me I guess

it has no use that I can think of, so it could disapear

as I said, whatever works for you!

[summer violet]

Alright, then

[vapid flume]

There is no right or wrong, ther is just what makes sense in your workflow. You just need to ask yourself if you need that artboard for something in particular and if the answer is no, then consider it as an extra step worth ditching

but if it helps you in any way, by all means, keep it

[summer violet]

It just confused me as well, which is why I came to ask about it

Like I asked myself "why is there a giant white background? Is there a use for it? Why not go ask the Photoshop pros?"

I guess there might or might not be a use depending on what I do along the way
It's different from how you use Artboards for sure, though!

[vapid flume]

Photoshop can do a lot of things, it's adaptable enough for you to tweak it to fit your needs. At the end, nobody else but - maybe - a client will see your layer stack, in the same way that nobody hads to know your lens or camara make when you shoot a photo. It's always good to optimise one's workflow but at the end, it's the result that counts... and the fact that you have fun doing it!

[vapid flume]

possibly because your file is set in a specific colour mode or something of that kind. Can you poost a full crenshot of the window, complete with the layer stack and file name?

[rich cloak]

sure

can i dm?

[vapid flume]

Just cover the layer with a black one

Answers must be public
You can screenshot that if you don't want to show your file

[vapid flume]

because it's 32 bits

might work in 16 bits however

I probably never used 32 bits in my life 🙂

[stiff anchor]

How would I get an ultra close up of the guys nose in that photo?

[rich cloak]

is that something i can change at this point?

[vapid flume]

yes
image>mode> change bit depth

[vapid flume]

drag the corners inside like I did (see how the crop is smaller than the whole image)
The same way you do when you transform a photo.you drag in and out the transform controls

So technically adobe doesnt have to know, right?

[vapid flume]

I don't think the FBI will raid your house if you do, but these are the rules

[twin vapor]

Haha

[vapid flume]

They will know, because you need an internet connection to make it work

[twin vapor]

I mean, photoshop is probably the #1 most cracked app

[vapid flume]

so if you're connected to both devices at the same time, they will know.

[twin vapor]

So when both devices use photoshop at the same time adobe will get an alert? What the heck

[vapid flume]

Yes, but sometimes you have to pay for things 🙂 I mean people pay for their food and lodgings. If that's something you enjoy (as a genuine hobby) or it's necessary for your work, then it's fair to pay for it. There are other software that are free if you want to prank your roomate... Not everything needs to be done with Photoshop

[vapid flume]

I don't know really. All what I'm saying is that they could know technically, but do they act? I am not an Adobe employee, so I don't know

I am saying that it's a possibility

I'm sure they don't really care, but I am not party to their secrets 🙂

[twin vapor]

 This pricing is not available to OEM, commercial or volume licensing customers.

so this means I cannot use it for commercial things like youtube or something?

[vapid flume]

yes of course!

Commercial licencing is somethiung different to the personal licencing you will take

It doesn't concern what you do with the software

Just how you acquire it (in bulk, via a company, via a school etc)

[twin vapor]

Ah okay

Sadly its only for one year

[vapid flume]

You can renew as long as you're a student

If you no longer a student you will need to go on a standard price

At the end of your offer term, your subscription will be automatically billed at the standard subscription rate, currently at US$29.99/mo (plus applicable taxes), unless you elect to change or cancel your subscription.

Do you think the picture I made matches the other picture?

[river otter]

No.

In girl photo, full image is clipped to letters, and bellow that is girl cutted out.

[fierce hornet]

no there is more adjustments that you should do to match it. The text needs to be much closer together, and it should only have an outer line.

Use a bold font or make the font a bit wider.

[river otter]

This is what DJ said yesterday, beginners use to make 20 steps, instead of two, and result is still incorrect.

What you do by steps is.

1. Select subject, paste it in new layer.
2. Make a text below original and clip original layer to it.
3. Put text and clipped original above (on top).
4. Make white background as last layer.

are there any free softwares to help me increase the dpi for 3 images? I ordered digital posters and the dpi came in at 211 rather than 300 💀 and I don't feel like buying a subscription to increase the dpi of just 3 posters.

[river otter]

Whats workaround when Blend If gives something like this?
Pixelated and not good looking.

[hexed gale]

Explain the process for applying a filter to an image layer in a destructive fashion

[river otter]

how would i move the 2 side points of this coffin to the center?

the points that are on the left and right

[river otter]

Not sure, but, try selecting both points with white arrow.

Or something with transform.

I mix Illustrator with Photoshop, so not sure what is what sometimes.

[sly hawk]

How is it drawn at the moment?

Is it just a PNG image you downloaded online?

Could anyone help me with adding Neon light text in a picture? DM if you can help (for free)

[twin vapor]

I have some questions about the licenses

I have 3 devices: my pc, my laptop and my ipad

but I can only have 2 active at the same time

what happens if I forget to log out from one of my computers and try to login through my ipad at school?

also what does 2 active licenses mean

device 1: logged in
device 2: logged in

or

device 1: logged in, photoshop open
device 2: logged in, photoshop open

[willow gale]

It means "logged in". In the three device scenario, you just need to be rigorous about signing out before you leave one workstation to head to the next. For a while, Adobe had fixed number of times you could do this, but that was removed and not reinstated, to my knowledge. And, you can deactive your computers (not your iPad) from https://account.adobe.com/activated-devices which should help in a pinch. See https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/activation-limit-reached-creative-cloud.html#sign-out-account-page.

[twin vapor]

thank you very much

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @willow gale (current: #28 - 58)

[twin vapor]

I researched a little and in the adobe forum someone said that if you try to login on a third device the other 2 will get "deactivated"

or the license will get deactivated, I dont really remember

[willow gale]

If you apply a filter (for example, Filter > Filter Gallery > Artistic > Colored Pencil) it will change the pixels on the document and will be visible on the Layers panel thumbnail. That's destructive. If you miss the chance to undo or if you close the file, the filter is permanent. If you choose Convert for Smart Filters first and do the same thing, the layer is converted to a smart object and the filter is applied non-destructively. You can change it or remove it later.

[willow gale]

Honestly, I'm not aware of that, but I haven't done this for a while. I now have an additional license so that I don't have to go through the activate/deactivate process. But I used to and that's why I knew the answer that question. Can you track down that post?

[willow gale]

Hi @honest storm Photoshop can do it (Lightroom too.) Here's a high-level overview (be sure to read about interpolation methods if you do it in Photoshop). And once you understand the terms, you can find more detailed tutorials online. https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/discover/increase-resolution.html

[willow gale]

@jade flare are you opening or placing the .ai file in Photoshop?

[twin vapor]

sorry, I couldnt find it

[coarse crane]

any idea how i can get rid of these "stripes"?

[willow gale]

No worries! Here's what I see from Adobe on this: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/activation-limit-reached-creative-cloud.html#:~:text=These errors occur if you,of the first two computers.

[willow gale]

Selecting the area and applying generative fill with an empty prompt should do it. In the past, I would have said use the Spot Healing Brush (large enough to cover the area plus a little more) set to Content Aware.

[coarse crane]

thx

[river otter]

yeah

[willow gale]

Since it's a png, you can resize the width of the image, but that will move all outside points in towards the center. This shape would be extremely easy to trace with the Curvature Pen tool—just double click each corner until you get back to where you started. Showing the Grid (View > Extras > Grid> and customizing it (Preferences/Settings > Guides, grids, and slices) will make it easy to make it symmetrical, and you could pull in those two outside points and one or two grid increments using the Direct Selection tool. Not sure where you are going with it, but you probably want it to be a Shape Layer.

[coarse crane]

i have some layers in photoshop. i want to create saturation/brightness adjustment layers for some of these. but not all of them. how do i do this without combining the layers into one [as they are text layers that i may need to edit]?

[river otter]

Groups I guess.

[willow gale]

You can select a layer, and add an adjustment layer to it. However, adjustment layers will modify everything visible underneath, unless you clip them to the layer (or layers) below. Right click the adjustment layer > Create Clipping mask. If you need the same adjustment on a different layer, you can Alt/Opt drag the adjustment layer to duplicate, and then clip it to another layer.

[river otter]

I removed some noise, but still was not that good result. It's in feedback channel.

[coarse crane]

I don't quite understand... i now have the adjustment layer that only changes the first layer below itself. how can i add more layers to this "selection" now? i'm on windows btw

[river otter]

Abroad topic, but groups are what you ask for.

[coarse crane]

yes, i did it with groups, thank you

[hybrid vessel]

hi guys i got a question idk how to change from pixel to mm?

[cerulean perch]

are you guys planning on making video game texture go to high resolution without having to see too many blurs?

and pixelations?

[astral dove]

oka

[vale dirge]

what is the most professional way to extract an image from its background? Also is the difference between the pen tool and say select subject really that noticeable in professional work?

[fierce hornet]

got to Image > Image size

[willow gale]

Settings/Preferences > Units and rulers.
In a new document, choose mm in the New Document dialog box.
In an existing document, right click the rulers > mm. (If they aren't visible, View > Rulers.)

[willow gale]

Sorry. Wasn't done but got pulled away.

[willow gale]

HI @vale dirge Either tool is a good starting point but from there I'd recommend Select & Mask so that you can refine the edge, and then output to a New Layer with Layer Mask (non-destructive, infinitely editable). If you are trying to extract a subject with hair or fur or a fuzzy edge, the Refine Edge tool in the Select & Mask workspace is a necessity. See https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/select-mask.html and watch Julianne's video if this is new to you.

[vale dirge]

thanks!

[sly hawk]

Here is a video showing a few options. Starting with the most lazy and ending with the better, cleaner option.

[wide vessel]

how can i create this effect?

[pseudo shale]

Hello guys, hope you're going well. I've been doing photography for a few years now, so I've already got my own retouching "style", but for a while now I've been following the work of "Thibaut Grevet" very closely, and I really like his very dated, vintage style, especially in these photos. I'd like to know if you have any tips on how to get this kind of grain in the image and generally this kind of aesthetic in retouching. Thank you very much. Have a nice evening!

[sly hawk]

That's just lots of NOISE added.

[sly hawk]

Same as above... the GRAIN is just noise. - See video 🙂

Or manually add your own as a layer and then try a few blurs like radial or movement....

[cerulean perch]

is it too hard to generate precise texture upscales for video games?

[sly hawk]

Depends how "Precise" you mean. An AI upscaler can guess/fake what texture should be there...

[cerulean perch]

human face textures, like Anakin's face texture

[pseudo shale]

it's not just grain in the pictures i send imo, especially in the pics with some distortion like the last one ?

[sly hawk]

That's a 'liquify' filter.

[wide vessel]

I'm stupid, i tried it with dissolve xD thank you

[vale dirge]

How to I export my layer mask with a transparent background? Every single time I export as a png and send it to another file it has a white background

[willow gale]

Hi @vale dirge File > Export > Export As > PNG and check Transparency.

Be sure the checkboard is visible in the background—the checkboard indicates transparency.

[willow gale]

Hi @compact cliff No. Those values are preset. You can zoom in other ways though... type in a magnification value in the lower left of the document window. Use scrubby zoom. Use the keyboard shortcuts listed in the View menu.

Photoshop doesn't have Rotis font? I tried looking for it even in the Adobe fonts, result unmatched. Anywhere I can download or purchase for this font?

[serene coral]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotis
https://www.linotype.com/881991/rotis-ii-sans-family.html?site=valuepacks

[pure hawk]

How can I change opacity from this selection?

[serene coral]

It's because of your current foreground and background color. Cancel the filter gallery, press D to make them default (black and white) and try again

[nocturne cairn]

Can we see a screen grab that includes your Layers panel?

[pure hawk]

I found a solution using select then the eraser with a 50% opacity

[nocturne cairn]

Cool. You might want to consider copying or moving the selected content to a new layer and then lowering that layers opacity. Unlike the method you are using, this method is non-destructive and can be altered at a later date.

2 Questions

1. How do I add shadow in the easiest Way
2. How do I add a font that not in ps (font: lemon milk)

[vapid flume]

If you double click on a layer in the layers panel, you will access the layer styles. in there you'll have severale effects, including a drop shadow

to add a new font you need to download it (and of course buy it if it's a paying font)

[harsh lion]

I am a a beginner atm do u think u can provide a video

[vapid flume]

and then it will show in Photoshop

[harsh lion]

I downloaded the font where do I add it

[vapid flume]

Here it is
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDO1NAGfRzA

[vapid flume]

PC or Mac?

[harsh lion]

Windows

[vapid flume]

locate the font file, click on it, right click and click on "install" in the list

[harsh lion]

what in file explorer?

[vapid flume]

Where did the file landed when you downloaded it?

if it landed on the desktop, you can locate it in the desktop

[harsh lion]

Another thing how do I add a showad

shadow

[vapid flume]

I answered this one a bit higher up in the conversation 🙂

[harsh lion]

what abt text is there a shawod optinon?

[vapid flume]

but then you could watch the video as well

the text will appear as a layer, you can add a shadow to that layer

[harsh lion]

what this for picture or text

[vapid flume]

I think you need to review the basics first, because you will spend your day asking questions (which is fine! but can be very frustrating for you)
I suggest you go the help>hands-on tutorials and you follow the "orientation" tutorials

[vapid flume]

anything that is a layer. Any layer. a text layer or an image layer

[harsh lion]

waht is a "orientation?

[vapid flume]

Click on it and you'll know! 🙂 That is the basic tutorials, they teach you how to navigate in the app. They give you the basic orientattion, like when you're walking in the forest, you need an orientation....You need to understand what is a layer first. That's the base of the base in Photoshop.

It's just a way of naming the basic tutorials

[harsh lion]

Alr will do 👍🏻

[vapid flume]

Excellent!

[harsh lion]

Thanks!

Hey @vapid flume sry to ask but how can I do this since I cant go out then it would get restarted

[vapid flume]

Just follow along first, you don't have to touch anything.
Sometimes the inteface lets you touch the different menus and tools, if it doesn't that means it's not meant to, and just showing you for now

generally if you want to interrupt the stuff, you need to press the "esc" key (there is also an exit button at the top)

[harsh lion]

Thx

Done my first one

[vapid flume]

Keep it on and try things. Hands on is always the best approach!

[finite rune]

Hi I'm new to Photoshop and I want to save my one of my artwork but it gives me this message

[fierce hornet]

click okay each time you see this message. it is not an error .

[finite rune]

I did that but yesterday I tried to open a different one that I saved and it said I couldn't open it

so i don't need to do anything in settings with the dialogue

[fierce hornet]

I got those message everytime and I never had a issue with the psd or psb file.

[vapid flume]

You can also choose to tick "don't show again" and it will disapear

You can also go into the preferences (edit>preferences) and ask Photoshop to by pass this

It's for when you use VERY OLD versions of Photoshop (very very old... I promise you it won't happen!)

[finite rune]

So why can't I open the psd files?

[finite rune]

I got Photoshop yesterday

[vapid flume]

What was the error message when you tried to open it?

also which version of Photoshop do you have?

You'll find it here

[vapid flume]

Did you download it from the CCapp? from the Adobe website?

[finite rune]

I downloaded it from the Adobe website yes

I thought changing it to a PNG file would work but it isn't working

[fierce hornet]

check #🎨share-your-work-archive someone posted something bad

[vapid flume]

Photoshop files are either PSD or PSB, all the rest aren't photoshop files but generic image files

[vapid flume]

Thanks!

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @fierce hornet (current: #67 - 26)

[finite rune]

But for some reason it isn't saving as a PSB

[vapid flume]

So that's the last version... Try to open a .psd file and share the screenshot of the error message

[vapid flume]

.psb is a special format for very large files. you're not likely to encounter them for now

You're looking for a .psd

that will look like that in your explorer

[finite rune]

I have no idea why it has saved as a Google file

[vapid flume]

Probably because you got your file associations wrong. thta's why it doesn't open in Photoshop

[finite rune]

how can i change that

And I want to save it so I can share the picture

[vapid flume]

go to the thumbnail, and change its extention to .psd

it should work

[finite rune]

wheres that

sorry i dont know a lot about this softwhere yet

[vapid flume]

That said, my advice to the previous OP still stand. You need to cover the basics first because otherwise you will get very frustrated
check the help>hands on tutorial

[finite rune]

but where is thumbnail

ohhhh thumbnail

[vapid flume]

There is a learning curve. Photoshop is a professional software. Like Cinema 4D, Blender, Catia, Auto CAD etc. You need to know the basics first

the help section is the best way to get a good head start

[finite rune]

but how can i change it to a .psd

[vapid flume]

also you can check our very own #1042476087642423369 where you'll find lots of starter tutorials

double click on the file name to renamee it?

[finite rune]

oh

I renamed it but it's doing the same thing opening it in Google

[fierce hornet]

open the psd file location. right click open properties.

Open with: click on change and choose Photoshop.

click to apply and then ok. Check if this work.

[vapid flume]

also when you save something in Photoshop to be saved as a PSD (a working Photoshop file) just do CTRL+S, like in any other software

[finite rune]

OK there you go it's fixed now thank you so much

[vapid flume]

if you export, you just do that, export as another file format. that you will not be able to open fully in Photoshop (at least your layers won't be conserved)

so if you obtained a google file, it's possible you were exporting it as a .svg file or something similar, but not saving it properly

something else you'll find in the starter tutorials within the help files

[fierce hornet]

#🙏🏼challenges-questions check out this too. important

[finite rune]

OK so I tried to send it to a friend but it's sending it as a Photoshop thing he needs to open it in Photoshop it's not sending it as a picture

why am I struggling with this I'm so good with IT 😭

[fierce hornet]

you should export it as PNG or JPEG to send as a Picture 🖼️

[finite rune]

i did that but you can't open it

It says file not formatted

[swift zodiac]

Hello guys, sorry to bother, I'm new with photoshop and I'm trying to add shadows to a certain part of my image but it doesn't seems to work (it works fine with other part). If anyone got an idea of how I could make it work

[vapid flume]

I really urge you to watch those tutorials if you want to understand how these VERY basic steps work. It's not that I don't want to answer your questions, but you'll be there for the next 20 years if you don't understand the very basics of Photoshop first

[finite rune]

I'm just asking for you to help me with this one question I will go watch the tutorials as soon as I can

[vapid flume]

so the answer is: as @fierce hornet kindly answered. You need to "export" in a file format someone who don't have Photoshop can read

JPEG, PNG whatever you want

This is different than saving

That's why it's called "export" and not "save"

[finite rune]

ok i got it

[vapid flume]

If you don't know which, JPEG is a good option but PNG is better quality

JPEG can be read everywhere

[finite rune]

i did png

[fierce hornet]

give a screenshot here of the png

[finite rune]

is there a full beginners guide in #1042476087642423369

[finite rune]

I used an online converter

[vapid flume]

I don't think there is a full starter guide, but more different tutorials about specific subjects. The real full starter guide is in Photoshop (help section)
however, you can se that, it will surely help
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyR_uYsRdPs

[finite rune]

i will check that out

[vapid flume]

You don't have to use a converter if you export in PNG directly from Photoshop

You're complexifying your life here 🙂

[finite rune]

The only reason why I used it is because I didn't see your message telling me how to do it in Photoshop

[vapid flume]

so I would say "hold your horses Padawan " 🙂 You're going too fast!

[finite rune]

I'm not doing that on purpose😢

[finite rune]

i know i intend to do that sometimes

[vapid flume]

that's the screenshot of the window after you clicked on the "export as". You see you can choose the file format of the export in the drop down menu there

[finite rune]

I need to slow down!

[vapid flume]

You do! But that's OK, you're learning!

[finite rune]

yea i saw it when i saw the first message

[finite rune]

Yeah I'm trying to learn

But you guys are very helpful thank you

[swift zodiac]

Hello, sorry to bother you @vapid flume, may you try to help me once you are done with helping NorrisSpeedster ?

[finite rune]

sorry mate i was taking all the attention😄

i am done

[swift zodiac]

There is no problem about that 😄

[vapid flume]

The best way to get help with your shadow issue would be to share a screenshot of the WHOLE window in Photoshop
It's best people can see the layers panels, the file size etc

an image is worth a thousand words, that's what they say 🙂

[swift zodiac]

I will just send a zoom about the concerned area since I'm working on a A0 format.
The thing i'm trying to do is adding a natural shadow effect under the "Or loge" font (wich is an image not a downloaded font).
But when I select the letter and try to add shadow to it, it don't do anything at all or it add shadow to the entire A0 wich is not the point here.

The images are on the "Calque 2" and "Calque 3" layer and the file is around 200mb

[vapid flume]

How do you add the shadow?

[swift zodiac]

I dont now the right therm in order to explain it in english but I select the area I want to add the shadow to with the magic wand then add a "marge mask" (not sure if it's the english therm) and end up in this menu where I usually have the shadows

[vapid flume]

I assume the calque 2 is the shadow and you haven't added a layer style

in that case you need to constrain your calque 2 to the area. And you will do that by masking the shadow layer

French is OK

[swift zodiac]

I don't understand how i can mask the shadow layer

I assume it's not just clicking on the eye in order to see or not the image

[vapid flume]

no, hiding is just hiding the visibility of the layer You need to select the area with a selection tool

then this area will need to be filled with white and what you want to hide filled with black

first select

then add the mask by clicking on the icon

[swift zodiac]

like this ?

[vapid flume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuMvdIL_uK4

[vapid flume]

there is no mask here 🙂

[swift zodiac]

this isn't a mask ?

[vapid flume]

in my example, the visible area is white, the hidden area is black. Your mask is all black. Nothing is visible

[swift zodiac]

I think it's because I'm working on a big format, oserwise we could see the wite part

[vapid flume]

OK

that's possible

[vapid flume]

that's masks

[swift zodiac]

Yes, I did the same thing with the other part, but it doesn't seems to work :/

[vapid flume]

the problem is that I don't know how you've built your shadow... Because if you want your shdow to only apply to the text, then, in acse you painted it by hand, it should appear only where you painted it, and not everywhere

I miss some info here

did you try to create shadow with the layer effects?
possibly "ombre portees" in French, but I don't have PS in French

[swift zodiac]

The other shadows I simply add it by left clicking on the "motif" i selected and end up on the same window

[vapid flume]

you apply that effect only on the layer you need (text in that case)

[vapid flume]

Why do you want to apply a pattern as a shadow? I don't understand what you are trying to do

As I said French is OK

[swift zodiac]

On the other part I was filling the blank space with the pattern (after selecting with the tool) in order to give the looks of the material that I want, and then I add shadow where it was needed

[river otter]

Sandrine solos

Helping people in a language she doesn’t know

[vapid flume]

s you don't add a shgadow as a pattern. What do you try to do when you say "left click the motif/pattern" layer

Left click just selects/highlights the layer, it should do nothing else

[vapid flume]

can you elaborate?

I am French BTW

[river otter]

Oh what

[vapid flume]

The OP doesn't want to continue in French, that their choice

But I really think there is a lost in translation issue there

Anyway, I need to go. I have work to do 🙂

I'll let someone else take over

I'm already late

[swift zodiac]

Thanks for the help

[vapid flume]

No worries

[river otter]

Originally it was used for fighting if you can beat a group of people by yourself you solo then

I used it as in Sandrine is able to help anyone and everyone regardless of the situation

[vapid flume]

it was more "a language she doesn't understand" that got me 🙂

Thanks though @river otter

[river otter]

No problem

[river otter]

I see

[swift zodiac]

I finally deleted the layer and made a new one and now it's working fine so I guess it's good now.
Thanks for the help

[hollow zealot]

This is a more general creative cloud question, but I've noticed there are a few 2023 versions still "installed" but when I go to uninstall them it stays there.

[haughty storm]

Hi I'm working on a project, I duplicated the layers and locked the original layers because I want to keep it intact but when I try to rotate the copied layers, the original layers also rotates even though they are locked.... why?

[plush solstice]

does anybody know how do i make that ship foam in ps

i want to add that in here but in ps not in blender

[willow gale]

Hi @hollow zealot where are you seeing that particular list? Is that the list Windows shows when you type Adobe in the Search field on the taskbar?

[willow gale]

I'm a macOS user, but googling "uninstalled apps still appear in Windows search" has a lot of hits, and provides the steps to remove the apps from the list. As far as Adobe is concerned, the list of installed apps is in the CC Desktop app, and that should be accurate.

[hollow zealot]

It's in the start menu and the installed programs list in control panel. When you click uninstall there, it opens creative cloud, it says it's uninstalling an older version (For photoshop, 27.9.1 when I have 28.x installed) and then after that, it's still there, and you can repeat the same thing again and it does it again.

[forest cove]

Hey, im trying to make some cool background gradients but when im using brush it leaves these bounding instead of just smooth disappearing. And when i turn this brush into gradient it doesnt look good. Is there any way to make it smoother?

^It works the same when I make smaller circles

[ivory rampart]

Those are probably just leftovers in registry

[willow gale]

It's a Windows thing, and not limited to Adobe apps. Did you google the fixes? You just have to manually remove the references.

[amber berry]

Ah okay. Mine shows up to date, but still happens. I'll just wait till it's fixed.

[ivory rampart]

easily

[stark junco]

Yeah I just checked and it’s still doing it on the beta but not on the normal version. Its annoying as all my steam deck buttons are set up for the beta version

[amber berry]

Yeahh a lil annoying but if it's a Beta issue can't really complain I guess, cause it's a Beta for a reason lool. I thought it was on all versions cause a buddy of mine told me he experienced it too and as far as I knew he was on the stable version; but I guess he must have switched to the Beta as well.

I hope this doesn't make me seem like I'm taking my sweet time. but uhh is there a CMYK color wheel to access?
I looked it up, but no dice

[river otter]

Press CTRL+Y while Color picker is open. (Assuming you work in CMYK.)

[summer violet]

Ah man

I am working in RGB, switching to CMYK with Ctrl + Y every once in a while

[river otter]

You want to work in RGB with CMYK color picker?

[frigid horizon]

Can someone tell my why I have so many pixels ?

[river otter]

I can't set wheel to be CMYK either.
Maybe someone else knows.

It's always backing to RGB.

Or, better said, it is HSB.

Hi @turbid charm Filter > Liquify.

[river otter]

hi everyone, im currently experiencing some issues on my windows installation and wanted to ask if anyone knows a way to migrate all my settings and presets to a new windows installation. thanks!

[serene coral]

All the settings and presets are copied when you update any CC app, including Photoshop. You can also do it manually https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preset-migration.html

[pulsar bramble]

I have a question about the zoom tool.
I used to be able to drag zoom but now whenever I drag it, it just selects an area to zoom into. How do i fix it so it just drags?

[river otter]

thx! ill try that

[serene coral]

make sure "Scrubby Zoom" is enabled!

[pulsar bramble]

I tried that but the icon is greyed out and I can’t click it

[serene coral]

is your gpu acceleration enabled?... maybe try restarting Ps first, it can happen when you work on large files

[pulsar bramble]

Ah, the setting was toggled off for some reason. Thank you!!

[slender niche]

anyone know how to get this font or style of text?

[oak ledge]

I want to save these characters one by one

[ivory rampart]

probably easiest way to do it would be to keep all characters as separate layers and export layers to files

[river otter]

Yeah.
First layer is gradient with bewel and emboss.
Second layer is black bigger letters.

i need help

i need this font

can someone make this and turn the red to this color?

like literally make green squares then have the 2 transparent letter b mask it

i drew the box using shape tool, but is there a simpler way to create that box around my text? so that it dynamically becomes bigger/smaller along with more/less text i have?

[uncut saddle]

Sir, through wich adobe tool I can create infographics well and better photo editing?

Pls read through which

Sir, are you there

[ivory rampart]

Photoshop is probably your tool

You can create graphics and edit pics in PS

For infographics i would say that Illustrator would be better

[haughty storm]

I found this in a search and it should work for you 🙂

Go to the "Layer" menu, then select "Layer Style," and choose "Stroke." In the Stroke dialog box, you can set the size, position, blend mode, opacity, and color of the border. Click "OK" to apply the border to the text. These steps will allow you to add a border around the text in Photoshop.

[willow gale]

No. Photoshop is a photo editor with limited type features. InDesign (with robust type controls) can adjust the width and/or height of a frame as you add more type, but not Photoshop.

[knotty olive]

any sugggestions on how I could make this look better?

[acoustic shadow]

mess with curves on the knight character layer. the reflections are too bright in contrast to the subdued dark background @knotty olive

[knotty olive]

what about for the frame?

[acoustic shadow]

@knotty olive i just made a sloppy mask around your knight subject but something like this

actually yk what my curves are way too harsh LOL

[knotty olive]

yeah looks good. but assuming that, any other changes you would make to the card format?

plan to make many with tons of characters and stuff

[acoustic shadow]

(pt2 to my example)

yeah i can help w that sorry i nitpicked the wrong part

is this for a digital game or a physical game

[knotty olive]

digital game, chivalry 2

making player cards for different players

[acoustic shadow]

oh cool

do you have illustrator?

[knotty olive]

I have all adobe but I dont know how to use anything besides premiere and photoshop

got a pretty basic look rn but it seems plain

got the name, rank, and card number with a decent UI on the bottom

[acoustic shadow]

@knotty olive took me a sec cuz im not well versed in illustrator, but you could do something like this for a border

[knotty olive]

me waiting for the upload

[acoustic shadow]

have your card in illlustrator, select blob brush tool, then on the right under properties theres a dropdown menu of brushes, and you can click and drag a brush to the border of your card

might need to expand the card so it doesnt transform your whole card but instead an outer stroke of the card

i will try it now and show you some examples

[knotty olive]

so just like a black border?

on the outside of the card

or some solid colored outline

[astral stratus]

he says he's gonna reconsider it he just needs a bigger picture of it so I'm gonna blow it up and print it

[acoustic shadow]

there are some textured brush strokes that you can apply as borders

gimme one more sec

[knotty olive]

thanks

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @acoustic shadow (current: #253 - 5)

[acoustic shadow]

@knotty olive you can mess with other brush strokes ngl idk but i swear this is a feature in photoshop.

[knotty olive]

looks kinda ugly though no?

[acoustic shadow]

i mean there are plenty of options it might be something fun to mess with if you dont wanna do just a simple stroke border

another example @knotty olive

i have no clue how you play that game but i could see the change in colors and borders differentiating between rarities of cards or sumthin

[knotty olive]

yeah I'll mess around with ideas

thank you

[dusty mist]

Hey, suddenly I can't stream photoshop. What's the deal?

That goes for Discord and OBS

[wary rivet]

Hello!
I'd like to know if it's possible to stop photoshop from immediately highlighting/selecting the name of a file when I Save As.. or Export it.
I know this seems absurdly minor, but this has been bugging me for a while.

[odd cobalt]

Is there any faster method to remove small details of background (example around the hair part) rather than using eraser and erase bit by bit?

[nocturne cairn]

Lots of possible methods. Can you post a screen shot so we can offer the best for your situation?

[odd cobalt]

Sure but I'm on my way for class right now. Sorry didn't check the notification earlier. I'll send in a few hours or so. Thanks.

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @nocturne cairn (current: #26 - 70)

[nocturne cairn]

No worries. Have a great class.

[sly hawk]

If you were to type that question into Google instead of discord you'd find loads of videos on how to remove backgrounds via multiple methods...

[vapid flume]

I can't really tell you, it's been a while I haven't streamed anything 🙂
But have you tried with another software? Just to test...

In case it's only happens with Photoshop, it would help if you explain what exactly happens (or doesn't happen)

[vapid flume]

It's supposed to give you the name of the file you are saving/exporting from
Like if you opened a example1.psd and tried to save as or export, your export or save as will start by Example1 (followed by the file format) and you are expected to change it then if you want

unless I didn't understand what you are trying to do?

What would you like it to do instead?

[wary rivet]

Oh, yeah, I know why it does it, but I do a lot of small repetitive tasks like.. sprite variants which usually all have the same name except for like.. a count.
So I don't want to change the full name or displace any letters, only add to what's there

I'd like it to leave the name unselected when I export/save as..
I'm aware this seems redundant as I can dismiss the selection with a click, but I'd rather it just gave me the caret.. again, this seems really dumb, but reaching for the mouse each time just so I can click the name is annoying after like 50 sprites.
I am a fan of streamlining my processes

[unkempt chasm]

Hello everyone, I have a question about large formats. I want to create a poster with dimensions 460*270. What format should I choose in Photoshop to work smoothly, and what should I do when exporting it to jpg?

[sullen flame]

Do you know why when I add a shadow on one object then when I want to add the second one, the first one also changes??

[vapid flume]

Then you can use other type of exports, like export layer comps to files (that what you may need to look into for Sprites), or simply export artboads to files, or other types of export automation.
Export as : this is just for one-off exports

I swear by layer comps! 🙂

[dusty mist]

So it used to allow me to select the Photoshop window when I went to stream, but it's just not even showing up.

On OBS, window capture will show the window, but the stream won't show the actual canvas. It works with older versions of Photoshop, so that's my current workaround.

[vapid flume]

The thing is is it for print or for digital display? If it's for print, will you print it yourself or give it to a commercial printer. And what are the units? 460 X 270 what? (metre, inches, yards, ?)

[wary rivet]

I will explore that further, thank you

[vapid flume]

Have you tried with another software? I used to have issues when I chose the program instead of window, because Photoshop is made of multiple wiindows. To remedy that you need to dock all the windows. Same with illustrator etc

[vapid flume]

https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/layer-comps.html

[vapid flume]

I suspect it's more an OBS issue than a Photoshop issue

[dusty mist]

I tried docked and undocked, no dice. I've only used Discord and OBS so far though in terms of streaming

[vapid flume]

maybe because you have "global light" ticked in your settings in the layer styles. Try to untick it to have both independaent from each others

[vapid flume]

TRy with MS word or whatever as a test maybe?

I probably spent more time in my life testing things in OBS than actually streaming 🙂

Try it with your browser with a recording instead of a streaming

if all fail, maybe it's the best place
https://discord.com/invite/obsproject

[dusty mist]

OBS captures anything else fine

[vapid flume]

Sorry, no idea... You might want to ask a bit later in the day, there might be people more used to streaming then and who can answer your question...

[dusty mist]

Well thanks for trying. I'll test some other things, like twitch and try and narrow down what the issue might be.

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume (current: #9 - 474)

[unkempt chasm]

It's for a commercial printer, and that would be 460*270cm

[vapid flume]

So first you need to ask your printer

Because only them will be able to tell you the resolution they will need

which is likely to be less than 300 dpi

If it's a vector based artwork, you can make do with designing at a lower size, but anything ratser entering into the mix, and you'll have to design at the size the printer asks you to

[frail saffron]

Hey, I've got a problem with my photoshop. When ever I export a photo from photoshop it comes out smoother than what I see in photoshop, its almost like photoshop is adding grain to my images when I view them in the app. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[unkempt chasm]

Thank you so much for your answer!

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume (current: #9 - 475)

[vapid flume]

Have you seeing them both at 100%? Are you opening your exported file in Photoshop to see if that changes anything? The thing of looking at stuff at 100% magnification in Photoshop is very important

[frail saffron]

yes

[vapid flume]

It also depends if you export in JPEG or say, PNG, as JPEG will destroy fine modulations of colour which can affect the noise

[frail saffron]

this is the jpeg after ive exported it and put the image in photoshop

and ive tried PNG and it has the same issue

[vapid flume]

How do you export?
Walk me through the menus you use...

[frail saffron]

file -> save as -> JPEG/PNG -> save

or file -> save copy -> JPEG/PNG -> save

[vapid flume]

what happens if you try file>export>export as choose PNG in the right side drop down menu

because it may also depends on the colour profile you are saving it in save as. If you don't touch anything, export as with transfer to sRGB by default

It should be the issue but we never know

[frail saffron]

comes out smooth again

also shows it smooth on this menu inside photoshop

also the % of zoom isnt effecting it

[vapid flume]

Let me think...

At first I thought that it could be a 16 bit/ 8 bit issue but you're in 8 bits for both

[frail saffron]

yeah its really wierd

[vapid flume]

Let's see if one of the fellow mods have any idea (not sure they're around)
@sly hawk You are being summoned! 🧙

We may also ask @ripe quest but they're in another time zone, so likely to be available later in the day...
It's probably obvious, but honestly, I can't see anything now

[frail saffron]

thats fine thanks for trying sandrine, im sure ill find the issue eventually

[vapid flume]

Unless we find someone who knows in the chat already! I mean everyone can asnwer of course!

[frail saffron]

yeah its really wierd though, i dont understand why, its as if photoshop is adding a grain filter to the image

[nocturne cairn]

When Photoshop is acting weird a good old reset of the Preferences is often the trick @vapid flume

[frail saffron]

ill try that now thanks

[nocturne cairn]

Good luck 🙂

[frail saffron]

wow crazy, it worked

thankyou michael

[frail saffron]

well still thanks for helping, better then no one saying anything, thanks to both of u

[nocturne cairn]

[wide temple]

How can I smoothen the edges on this?

[harsh lion]

How can U rotate a text

[serene coral]

You could blur it or use a different method to achieve what you want... What is your goal?

[serene coral]

You can simply transform it with Ctrl+T

[wide temple]

I'm going for a smoother edge, not so rugged

[harsh lion]

How can I add a shadow of a picture that I add

[wide temple]

I tired a gaussian blur but it's not really doing what I want

[serene coral]

You have a color overlay applied, what does the original image look like?

[serene coral]

Right click layer > layer styles > enable drop shadow

[wide temple]

The edges are still rough

[serene coral]

What do you mean by "still"? Where is the image from?

[wide temple]

It's a texture from forza

[serene coral]

Does it support semi-transparency?

[wide temple]

Probably

[harsh lion]

Is this possible in ps

[wide temple]

I tried applying a blur and then increasing the image size and I get this, see how it's still a tad choppy

This is without the blur, just the image increase

[serene coral]

I'm asking because your source image has 1 bit transparency - pixels are either fully opaque or fully transparent

[wide temple]

This is just the base

[serene coral]

Yes, use masks and overlays

[wide temple]

I'm making an opacity map so that the black background is transparent (The game I'm applying to has that system)

[harsh lion]

U got any vides regarding this?

[serene coral]

So you have the color channel and alpha channel as separate files? How about using alpha channel as a mask?

[wide temple]

White is non-transparent, black is fully transparent, but you can have in between to have it be semi-transparent. It ranges from black to white

[wide temple]

I would but I'm using the color channel to create the alpha

[serene coral]

You can find resources regarding masking in #1042476087642423369

[wide temple]

That's why I want to smoothen the edges

[serene coral]

Ok so you don't have the alpha channel and you need to create one?

[wide temple]

Basically yes

This is how I usually do it but I haven't had this badly rough of a texture to work with

Usually I just increase the image size with preserved details 2.0 and it fixes it, but this is completely black and white with no smoothing so it makes it rugged yet smooth

[harsh lion]

What glows is this?

[harsh lion]

Cant dfind it there so many

[serene coral]

This could work given your aliasing follows the pixel pattern. Otherwise, you have to create the alpha that hides sharp edges making it all look anti aliased. Select&Mask options could help here. Ctrl-click your layer's thumbnail to select visible pixels, press the mask button to apply the selection as a mask and double click the created mask. A new workspace will pop-up where you'll be able to specify feathering, contrast, edge shift of your mask. Play with it to get the best result

[last crypt]

heya all! maybe some1 know, if its possible to enlarge psd with shapes, that have pixel look hard edges.
..without destroying these hard edges with additional pixels... thx
there pixel look icons and other gradients and graphic

[serene coral]

Use nearest neighbor upscaling method. Search for "upscaling pixel arts" here

[last crypt]

or same qustion for illustrator file its can be both in psd or ai

[harsh lion]

Can anyone help me with this?

[last crypt]

nop its blured image

[harsh lion]

How can it be doned?

[serene coral]

It's the layer duplicated, blurred and probably overlay blending mode applied

[last crypt]

filter - blur - gaussian blur

[wide temple]

It's not doing anything

[serene coral]

Illustrator enables you to upscale it endlessly, or do you want to have the gradients pixelated?

[wide temple]

I'm toying with all the settings but I'm not noticing any change

[harsh lion]

what u think that overlay blending mode thing

[last crypt]

i want upscale pixel icons and gradient backgrounds in one go whitout pixel iconss bluring) but seems its too much )

Look up "Photoshop masking" on YouTube

[harsh lion]

Didnt find anything to do with my font

[serene coral]

Masking doesn't have anything to do with your font... You have to learn the method and basics and then apply your knowledge to your design

[sly hawk]

Yeah, You need to take the principal of what masking is, and then apply it to your project.

Or you can use Adobe Substance Painter

Does anyone know why the image I paste into Photoshop always shrinks to this state? It was fine before, suddenly ctrl zooming doesn't work, everything is as if it were otherwise, does anyone know what could have happened?

[finite rune]

Dumb answer but have you tried to zoom it in

[river otter]

What is canvas size, what is image size, what do you mean paste, what ctrl has to do with shrinking image?

YouTube search: "Photoshop for beginners".

I don't think anyone will understand what you ask, because there is a bunch of info missing from that question.

[finite rune]

Like I said just zoom it in

[finite rune]

Do you get what we saying?

[river otter]

Canvas can be this or that big, "I paste image" can mean place embedded, place linked, openned in another project and pasted rasterized, openned in another project, converted to smart object and pasted...

[finite rune]

I am not that experienced but that's true it can't be that big

It could just be the image that is small but the canvas is way to big

[river otter]

It can be anything, default canvas is set to different from the time "it worked" for them.
So, yeah, question is not formed properly, can't be answered by not typing a book.

I've been using Photoshop normally for 2 years now and I don't know what's going on because the same thing reduces to +- 200 pixels

[agile forum]

[river otter]

[agile forum]

[river otter]

Does another image works

[boreal abyss]

I swear this wasnt always like this byt maybe im wrong

[agile forum]

no

[river otter]

Does that image works on a new project

[agile forum]

as I said, it doesn't matter whether I paste 1920 1080 or 1650 1080, it shrinks to the same size

[ripe quest]

It seems like the Canvas size/Resolution is much larger than the item that you're pasting in.

[river otter]

Are you sure your canvas is in pixels

1920x1080

[agile forum]

no xD

[river otter]

And not inches or else

[ripe quest]

Check the Resolution of both images.

[agile forum]

i check

[river otter]

Edit > Preferences and uncheck "Resize Image During Place".

[agile forum]

I checked it earlier

[river otter]

I do not know.

[ripe quest]

Open both images. Then show me a screenshot of the Image Size dialog box for each image.

[agile forum]

what does it change if everything worked yesterday?

the canvas is the same as the painting, this or that, each painting changes, that's what I mean

[ripe quest]

If you don't want my help then figure it out for yourself.

How can I make that the guy is behind the purple thing if everything else is background?

[river otter]

Select purple color by quick selection or by color range.
Ctrl+j, put this new layer above man.
Do not forget to make man look bigger.

[ripe quest]

Is the background one flat image or is it shapes?

[fierce grove]

It looks like a flat image from here. Try using a Marquee or lasso tool to select the entire purple part then use Ctrl + J to create a new layer of from that selection. Lastly, place the image under the new layer then. That's it ✌🏽

[ripe quest]

Why are you replying to me?

[fierce grove]

My bad. It's for @languid grove

[ripe quest]

If the background is all one object, you could quickly do this with a selection and a Layer Mask. Something like this... Just keep in mind that the left edge is flat so it still will look a bit odd. Perhaps you have a larger version of the man to better fill up the space?

[fierce grove]

My answer applies to when the background is flat @languid grove

[ripe quest]

@languid grove - Does this make sense or is your document built a different way?

[languid grove]

Thank you, that worked!

Hey, newbie here looking for help on how to make the pattern the arrow is pointing at

[ripe quest]

Something like the attachment. (You'll have to modify various things to meet the needs of your project.)

[patent trout]

A whole video thank you.

I'm trying to recreate the whole can do I make on a separate page?

[ripe quest]

You can make certain elements separately. It all doesn't have to be in one document.

Is there a tutorial for adding fluid effects on a sword for example?
I've fully animated a full hd picture that i've created in Photoshop, but I would like to add some bloody fluid effects on the sword, but I kinda don't know where to start..

[ripe quest]

"Fluid effects"? Do you mean that you want like blood dripping off the sword?

[lost tartan]

Yeah.

I did make now a break, but yes, that's exactly what I want.

[ripe quest]

Do you have an example of what you're trying to create? The art style or is this a photograph or... ? Anything to look at?

[lost tartan]

It's a gift, I can't share it public..

[ripe quest]

Is there a different image or an example of what you're trying to create?

[lost tartan]

private, yes, but public is not a good idea

[ripe quest]

Some other image that you can share or show me the type of style this is? Is it an illustration or a photograph?
