[languid scaffold]

i think it was 75. dpi to start ,will it lose its sharpness if i resample?

[spark snow]

Raw files don't have a set resolution until they're past camera raw and brought into Ps. If the file is still large and at 75 dpi, unchecked resample if using image size, and set the higher resolution (300) and ratio you're after.

Crop tool works too, just specify in the options bar the resolution you want the resulting crop to be.

Hey guys im trying to select this Calligraphy and make the actual text transparant instead of the background to put an image behind it

Do you know how this is done i tried selection tool but the edges are bad and i end up with this

This is what im trying to achieve

[ivory rampart]

select by color range maybe?

[spark snow]

Try select subject, or select > color range to select the black. Add a white layer behind the logo. Then Bring your image in and clip it to the logo layer

[timber skiff]

oke ill try this

[ivory rampart]

had quick try and selecting white and reversing selection works better for some reason

[timber skiff]

I got this now

this is going on a flyer the edges dont seem smooth

if i try select > modify > smooth

with 1 pixel then a lot gets deselected

[ivory rampart]

a lot of this is like 1-2 pixel thick

you could try to trace it in illustrator or inkscape to create vector

and then use it as a mask for another pic

[timber skiff]

Okay ill try that, is it straight forward or should i watch a toturial

[ivory rampart]

depends if you used illstrator or inkscape earlier

with black/white picture should be easy

[timber skiff]

Never have but ill give it a go

thank you!

[ivory rampart]

just don't forget that mask has to be inverted when you will trace it as black color is removing pixels

[timber skiff]

okay

[ivory rampart]

so you want black background and white logo for mask

[tight ibex]

Hello, i'm doing some work on photoshop and imo they're not aligned into the center. How do i fix my pov so i can make sure everything is centered? I'm using a 4k monitor, this kinda of confuses my vision sometimes

I look at it and i don't think it's lined up

[tight ibex]

But how do i use it for the entire thing?

[ivory rampart]

select parts you want to center and then use align to center

[tight ibex]

it dosen't let me

[timber skiff]

@ivory rampart i just succesfully traced the logo but dont know what i need to do now cuz i dont understand what it does

its traced should i now invert and deselect or what ahppens now

[ivory rampart]

it's probably text layer, convert it to smart object and then ctrl+T and manually move it to center of your image

[ivory rampart]

it probably traced as black color as pixels where black, so yes you have to change color of your logo to white and set bg as black

[tight ibex]

nope, didn't work

[timber skiff]

i dont think i can do that cuz its a stock image from google

[ivory rampart]

do you want that A in center?

[ancient jay]

Thank You

anyone have a recommendation for photoshop draw along tutorials? similar to the procreate ones you can find

[quaint frost]

Hello everyone, I am struggling to make a cutout of my layer in the layer behind it...

I know how to do it normally, but for some reason it is not working this time

[subtle geyser]

hello first of all, im trying something for two days and stuck in same point i will add 2 pictures, what im trying is; wanna keep the white parts i want them but all the grey and black areas are not needed i need to clear them. I tried masking it but im doing something wrong https://prnt.sc/7LX7nS2npYHr https://prnt.sc/e0TOIx3j3iGp

[shrewd tinsel]

Did you try Select color range / Highlights / Mask or Ctrl + J?

[subtle geyser]

im kinda new so i will try now if i can make it happen i can finally sleep lol

[shrewd tinsel]

on the drop down or upper menu you should find "Select" and that offers you the "Color Range" option

[subtle geyser]

https://prnt.sc/3SGJYYey4hdw this one

[shrewd tinsel]

yes... in the Sec option there should be the highlights preset

that selects the whites

you can play with the range and fuzziness depending on how masked you want to select the white

[shrewd tinsel]

Group it, press Ctrl + A and then allign the group

[subtle geyser]

i think i did it kinda right (maybe i adjusted wrong something but) is this result in the right way ? https://prnt.sc/PdUm61xZCKU8

[shrewd tinsel]

Reduce Fuzzinezz, the first slider, and up the second slider for a more "pure" white

[subtle geyser]

ty a lot you saved my sleep routine ❤️

i can take over from here

ty and ty and ty a lot ^_^

[shrewd tinsel]

no problem!

[quaint frost]

Do you know why my Layer Via Cut wouldn't be working?

[quaint frost]

If you could help me out as well that'd be amazing 🙂

For context: I have rasterized both layers, I am highlighting the black lines and when I click layer via cut, nothing is happening

[shrewd tinsel]

Sorry, what are you trying to do? I'm not familiar with the layer via cut

[nocturne cairn]

Can you post a screen shot that includes your Layers panel both before and after the action you are performing?

[nocturne cairn]

Have you tried changing the blending mode of the top image to Screen?

[tight ibex]

Another question. I made all this circles, but the images inside i had to cut and then put inside. Is there anyway to just add the images (Drag & Drop) to fit inside the circle, without need to paste, cut etc

[quaint frost]

Trying to cut the layer out of the background image

[heady turret]

[soft grotto]

Does anyone happen to know what font this is?

[nocturne cairn]

Could you be accidentally trying to write to something smaller like a USB drive?

[fervent jolt]

wym trace it?

there's no actual picture of the bbgz logo

so i gotta make it myself

[plucky folio]

hello ive been tryna figure out how to do this for a couple days but i dont get how to

how can i do the writing on the lip ?

[nocturne cairn]

How familiar are you with Photoshop?
Do you know how to select the Brush Tool and paint on a new layer?

[plucky folio]

yea

[nocturne cairn]

So?

[mortal forge]

Any thoughts on replicating this effect for someone relatively new?

[nocturne cairn]

There's a lot going on in this image in terms of skills. Any particular part you are wanting to first reproduce?

[mortal forge]

So this is from an actual anatomy text (cant find the original) and recolored in photoshop. Talked to the artist very briefly and the only thing I could get out of them is that they didnt color it by hand.

Im trying to do something similar with full human anatomy to toss on a gym hoodie. My GF has one of those printers that you can add on stuff as a side hustle.

[plucky folio]

well how can i get it too look real

like that

like on the musix the light on the x

[tribal bloom]

[plucky folio]

marker brush ?

what abt the lighting on the x

[heady turret]

It says DIsk Drive D

[odd gate]

hi , guys the generate fill(ai) is greyed and off i cant use it , pls need help

[mortal carbon]

Does anyone know how i can get an angled stoke like the miami text in this photo?

[nocturne cairn]

Your best bet might be to find a font. Lots of free sources including https://www.dafont.com/

[mortal carbon]

eh i have the right font alreaady unfortuntley

[nocturne cairn]

If you have the font already what's the exact problem?

[mortal carbon]

im having a problem layering it without it looking sloppt

the font doesnt already have 3 layers just 1

[nocturne cairn]

Can you not just have 3 copies of the text in different colours on different layers all offset a little from each other?

[mortal carbon]

yea it just wasnt looking great hold pu

maybe im being picky but it looks a little off

[nocturne cairn]

I think it's looking good. Do you know what you're not liking?

[wary rivet]

Very TikTok

[mortal carbon]

just feel like the alignment is better on the original

[nocturne cairn]

Yeah those areas you might have to clean up by hand

[nocturne cairn]

Are you comfortable using the vector tools? You can convert text into a vector and then manipulate it however you like.

[mortal carbon]

mm not rlly

thnk u can help if i send the font?

[nocturne cairn]

Sorry mate. Something you'll have to build yourself if someone else can't help.

[nocturne cairn]

Are you familiar with the Brush Tool in Photoshop? You can create blank layers between the text layers and then paint in those gaps with the appropriate color.

[twin vapor]

Whats a good tutorial that covers all the METHODS of creating something? I know all the BASICS from GIMP/Photopea but I dont know what to do

[vapid flume]

You're welcome!

[vapid flume]

You have complete course in Photoshop available on Youtube (I will share a couple below) but you also have the Help files. They are incredibly thorough, and generally explain in a different way than tutorials do. I think studying both is important.
You also have in apps tutorials, directly within photoshop to cover the basics (go to help>hands-on tutorials)

Photoshop is a mouthful, been at it for 20 years and don't know everything! (far from it 😉 )

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

[twin vapor]

Ah okay. Ill check out the hands-on tutorials

[vapid flume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTzvQkOll2U

You also got courses available on Skillshare, and Udemy

You got a skillshare offer (1 month free + 50% off) if you have a paying subscription at Adobe

[twin vapor]

Good offer but I think I can get along with free resources

[vapid flume]

You can get the skillshare offer and cancel before the free month is over. Just saying! 😉

[twin vapor]

Maybe some other time

When I have more free time to really use the month to the fullest for photoshop, illustrator, blender and other stuff

[balmy depot]

hey guys does anyone know how to create this effect with text in photoshop? like where the subject is infront of the text fill but not the outline

[mossy cipher]

anyone know why the outer glow effect on layer style is grey?

[vapid flume]

It might be something else, but it could simply be two shapes, one with the outline only, placed on to, and the same, with the fill only, placed behind the object, like a sandwich...

[balmy depot]

ah ok I'll try that thank you

[vapid flume]

so for example you can create your text, turn it into a vector shape, duplicate it, place one of them below the character, and then remove the fill on the top one, and set a stroke

You need to have your character cut out obviously

[balmy depot]

alright yeah i was messing around with strokes but i didnt think of that

thank you

[vapid flume]

This is how it should look

Obviously not the ideal photo for this example but you see the layers so it should help

[balmy depot]

thank you yeah thats exactly what im going for

[vapid flume]

The only thing I didn't show you was how to convert your type into a shape

just right click on your text layer and go for "convert to shape", that's how you'll be able to set stroke and fill independently

[buoyant marten]

anyone know of settings to fix adobe photoshop from popping up on my second monitor instead of staying focused on my tablet?

[feral radish]

does anyone know how to turn a 24x26 pixel image into a bigger one?

[ivory rampart]

Image resize, but it’s going to be pixelated

[feral radish]

it's a kirby's adventure nes remade sprite, would it still look good?

[buoyant marten]

anyone have a recommendation for photoshop draw along tutorials? similar to the procreate ones you can find

[ivory rampart]

Depends how much you want to resize it maybe twice the size will look okish

Anything bigger than that will probably look awful

Also I wouldn’t touch anything with trademark for any other reason than personal project

Especially from Nintendo

As they are very strict with IP

[vapid flume]

That should be a setting on your tablet driver (at least it is on mine)
it depends of how do you set up your second screen as well

I have to set which monitor is covered here

and there I need to "extend" instead of duplicate

and then drag Photoshop to the screen of my choice manually

it should stay put

[buoyant marten]

I do have it extended but some of the photoshop menus like color picking like to pop up onto my main display, the non-tablet one

[vapid flume]

In that case, it maybe because the tablet driver is not properly set up.

Also sometimes, having all the panels docked, instead of floating, helps

I guess it depends on the tablet (mine is an XPPen)

[buoyant marten]

thank you! that made me realize something which I think fixed it, I think I may have had a floating window just barely on my main screen and not realizing which was causing it

I have a question - old facebook photos like this is there any way to crisp this up?

I dont think its noise really, just dont know a technique to improve it

[ivory rampart]

I think one of neural filters have option to do it

[pine thorn]

no tradiitional way of doing it?

[ivory rampart]

There’s probably a way

I’m just lazy 😂

you can play with hue/sat, levels and curves to get bit more from this picture

just using classic filters

i'm not pro so it doesn't look great 😄

[mortal forge]

How hard would it be to turn this or something similar into something that resembles the second?

Im having a heck of a time playing with stuff trying to get that vibrance etc

Hello,

I'm using the "historic brush tool" and when I use it, the "noise" of the picture is disappearing. Can please someone tell me how to fix that ?

Thanks a lot !

[remote sequoia]

when I open an image in photoshop, why does it default to having a selection frame around it with the white boxes? I think this is keeping my alt+scroll zoom from functioning.

[river otter]

Is it possible to colorize only gray color?
Turn gray to cyan or other?

[river otter]

Try exposure instead.

[whole yew]

ello, is it possible to change the degree of rotation when u press shift, its normally 15, id like to change it. can i?

[sweet field]

You need to confirm the image being placed. Either press enter or press the checkmark at the top

[sweet field]

Try select-color range, select the gray you want to colorize, then set your threshold as you want it, and confirm selection. Then use either hue/saturation adjustment set to colorize

[river otter]

Thanks.

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sweet field (current: #22 - 78)

[sweet field]

It may be easier for you to set a custom rotation here in the ctrl+t transform mode

[whole yew]

thx! cuz im making a gif and ye

[sweet field]

The reason it may not appear the way you want it to is because the muscle image has a lot of black outlines. The heart drawing does not have black lines, only colors. What you can do to make it more similar is colorize the outlines. Here I have the base image, a +100 saturation adjustment, and then just added a layer of orange on top of the blacks after selecting them with select-color range.

But really, the answer is that the second picture was drawn that way, with a lot of colors, and the artist understands how to use colors very well. So it was made purposefully to include all of them without mudding anything. So it would really take drawing it that way from scratch. But this is an alternative!

[onyx moth]

g'day, i'm trying to make a very simple text pic that only says '2024'. i've somehow manage to get stuck in the 3d part of photoshop and i'm even more confused than i was before

[sly hawk]

Don't panic. Do you just want to go back?

[onyx moth]

yeah i've tried restarting, going into different tabs looking for it etc haha\

[remote sequoia]

It's not showing the check mark for me. Does this have something to do with my adjustment layer?

It's annoying because I think it's keeping me from using alt+scroll to zoom

[sly hawk]

Auto select is turned off.

try clicking this, then click a blank area on the canvas - This will 'deselect it' and stop the box/frame appearing.

[sly hawk]

ALT+Scroll?

Surely you mean** CNTRL+Scroll **to zoom?

[remote sequoia]

didn't you have to hold alt and scroll to zoom into the document?

[sly hawk]

Also, your curves adjustment layer is literally adding/changing nothing 🙂

[sly hawk]

No. I press Cntrl+scroll to zoom.

[remote sequoia]

Well now it's zooming for me when I just scroll the wheel without holding down a key

[sly hawk]

in fact. I don't hold anything. I just use the wheel.

[sly hawk]

Isn't that a good thing?

What would you want it to do?

[remote sequoia]

https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/zoom.html#:~:text=each one quickly.-,Zoom tool,the left to zoom out.

Alternatively, you can hold down the Alt key (or the Option key on Mac) and scroll your mouse wheel up or down.

[sly hawk]

Holding ALT makes the scroll wheel pan up and down.

[remote sequoia]

I guess this is what I was referencing

[onyx moth]

what's the easiest way to make a simple text pic? i'm having 0 luck with whatever i'm trying to do 🫠

[sly hawk]

Presumably if I unticked this box, it would then ONLY zoom if I held Alt or cntrl or something.

[sly hawk]

A simple line of text? Like a headline?

[onyx moth]

yeah i pretty much wanna recreate this because the quality is bad

[remote sequoia]

ahhhh

[onyx moth]

i have no words... there's no way you're a real human 🤣

that's insane, cheers 🙂

@sly hawkhow do i make it so i can move the canvas? i tried starting over to see if i could do 'no canvas' but couldn't find anything

[sly hawk]

You mean the crop tool?

[onyx moth]

yeah i was about to say i just realised i was on the wrong tool haha

because i figured out how to open the image without starting with a blank canvas then realised i was still on the text tool

[sly hawk]

Yep. Always keep an eye on what tool you have selected.

[onyx moth]

i don't have 2 icons where the black and white squares are

[sly hawk]

Hey, check the last half of my old video here, maybe it will help you...
#💬chat-general message

Watching back, I realise I just removed the green from the whole image, but this could just be combined with a mask, where you just paint where you want to remove/desaturate the green tints.

[hasty pine]

i even tried to do the first step, but it cant even remove the background

[pine thorn]

.

[sly hawk]

Can your share/send your original pic? I'll try it at my end and show you if/how I did it?

Is the border a separate layer?

If so, just select it and hit cntrl+i to invert the colour.

Given that you're swapping the cover anyway, can you just invert the whole background then?

It will turn the thread black and background white.

[mortal forge]

Wow man thats really good actually is this a specific technique or ?

[covert drift]

Hello! Is there a way to change skin color to match the skincolor with an other part of the body?
If yes, how? Can someone help me?
As you can see the right hand is so red, while the left is normal. Can we match the left hand to the right hand’s color? Or just to doesnt be this weird?
Thx!

So im curious about the method. So how to do it?

[river otter]

Okay.
I do not know if this question will make sense to you.
Basically, I have a problem matching object A to object B via color balance.
I do not know how much blue, how much cyan etc.
Is there easier way then practicing this for days?

[covert drift]

I see we have the same problem

Just mine is skin color

[ivory rampart]

select part you want to adjust and then click on adjustements and play with hue

[river otter]

Matching these towers forever and still not very good.

[wintry sparrow]

How can I make the quality of the photo the same from the web into photoshop as everytime the quality gets worse when I copy and paste it

[river otter]

File - Open. right click on layer and turn it to smart object, so when you resize it does not lose quality.

[wintry sparrow]

i changed it to pixels the image size from cm and the quality is lost

Nah. Just trial and error from playing around with blend modes and colours.

[mossy crow]

Hi, I have a problem and i'm wondering if anyone knows a solution?

I was using the pen tool to make a line for me to fill in with the brush tool by pressing enter

and it was working before

but now when I press the enter button it highlights the opacity of my brush tool

[wintry sparrow]

How do I extend my timeline bar to see more numbers

[willow gale]

Use the slider bar at the bottom of the timeline panel.

[wintry sparrow]

thanks

[willow gale]

Happy to help, @wintry sparrow

[willow gale]

I'm trying to understand your question. Are you drawing a path, and using the Fill path? Not a shape layer?

[mossy crow]

oh i'm drawing a shape not a path

my bad

that's probably why?

no

still the same result, pressing enter still highlights the opacity

[willow gale]

they are different, though very similar

You can fill/stroke a shape layer using the dropdown menus on the Options bar. Shape layers are dynamic and if you change the size/shape the colors adjust. Separately, you can fill/stroke a path using the panel menu or buttons on the paths panel. This adds the colors as pixels. Are you doing the second?

[rich halo]

this might be a really stupid question but im currently using photoshop beta. And whenever i click generative fill it it makes its own image shouldn't it be inserting it to the image ?

[willow gale]

@rich halo It can do either. If you want to something to an existing image, make a selection and then add your prompt. GenFill will add it inside your selection boundaries.

[mossy crow]

I think i'm doing the second? I've never had used the stroke/fill for the shape, i've just been using the enter key to fill it with whatever color (in my case black)

maybe I had a panel open before and haven't had it open since

[willow gale]

Let me show you a quick demo... BRB

1. Shape layer (dynamic)

[rich halo]

okay i got it thank you

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @willow gale (current: #27 - 61)

[willow gale]

2. Path

Given the choice, @mossy crow , shape layers are more flexible.

[willow gale]

Great! 🥳

[mossy crow]

I see

[willow gale]

Now, I know I didn't answer your question. Are you ok to move on or do you want to revisit your question?

[mossy crow]

if there's not really a definitive solution it's no biggie, I only needed it for a specific thing that I might need down the line but for now I think i'll be okay

[willow gale]

OK, sounds good. If you can use an editable shape layer, it may be better in the long run. At the end of both demos I adjusted the shape—the color adjusted with the Shape layer, but didn't adjust for the path.

[rich halo]

im trying to generative fill some sings but they all come out gibberish is that ussaly how it comes out?

[wintry sparrow]

when im editing my timeline after a bit my timeline stops working and I can't edit it and I have to restart my progress from where I left off and when I try saving it, it says could not build a preview because the scratch disks are full. how do I fix this?

[open sail]

Hello, when you ''Save as'' an image, and choose the JPEG option, the quality range is from 1-12
but when you ''Quick export'' as a JPEG, the quality range is from 1-7
is there a way to make the ''Quick export'' quality 12?

I basically want to quickly export/save as/save as a copy (any is fine) to JPEG, currently the ''Save + Save as + Save a copy'' options default to PSD (as shown in the picture), and photoshop refuses to remember the last used option, always defaulting to PSD

''Scripts > Image processor'' is a way to do it quickly, but can I make it only save the currently open image? rather than all images open in photoshop

[vapid flume]

You can use image processor within bridge, and choose the image you want to process (one or several) by seleceting them and go to Tools>photoshop>image processor

it will open the module in Photoshop and work as normal

In Photoshop proper, the image processor works with open images, or a specific folder

in bridge, the wording changes to "process files from bridge"

[vapid flume]

I am to believe that 7 is equivalent to 12, although, let's be honest I never use Quick export (As I use bridge mainly, I'll use the export options with custom presets)

these are all my custom presets (specific to clients and standard sizes as well)

[vapid flume]

Probably because the mask isn't 100% accurate (if it's an automatic selection and mask, sometimes it happens when part of the image is blurry)
You can contract the mask by going to filter>other>minimum (or maximum if you want to extend it)

Yopu may want to add a bit of feather (check in the properties panel when your mask is selected) so the transition isn't that hash between the tires and the road...

Is it an older GPU? Have you tried the compatibility test?

[open sail]

Thank you very much, I've never really used Brdige before, it seems very helpful 🙏

[rocky briar]

hey rq, how do I make this text effects in Photoshop?

other than the glow

[vapid flume]

it's the place where you'll be able to automate things 🙂 I couldn't live without it!

[vapid flume]

That looks like a gradient overlay (light yellow to gold yellow) but reflected instead of standard

in the layer styles, same place as glow

[rocky briar]

ohh okay thanks I'll try it

[fluid crane]

any tips to achieve this type of effect for an image?

[vapid flume]

For me it looks like some noise applied on a neutral layer, to which a motion blur (or a wind effect) has been applied

[clever nacelle]

where can I ask InDesign related questions?

[vapid flume]

Sure! I'm sure there are people here acquainted with Indesign (otherwise I will try to point you in the right forum)

[vapid flume]

Just to clarify, there is no InDesign discord server (no official one at least)

But this is the InDesign Community forum
https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/ct-p/ct-indesign?page=1&sort=latest_replies&lang=all&tabid=all

[sly hawk]

I sometimes direct people to the Adobe Illustrator server too.

[vapid flume]

Yes, makes sense!

I have a little knowledge of Indesign, enough to get me through standard layouts and menus like styles etc... so sometimes I can answer, but it would be very limited 🙂

[onyx moth]

giving it another go and i still can't figure it out 😦 @sly hawk

seems like the ratio is stuck on 16:9

yeah nah i've never been this confused in my life 🤣 the colours aren't even right

and the crop tool is on the piss

[sly hawk]

This is the reason for the locked ratio, Clear it.

[sly hawk]

The colours ARE right, you just have the text selected!, so it's inverting them whilst you have the white selection box over them.

[onyx moth]

yeah i figured that out, i thought the white was the colour of the text box 🤦🏻‍♂️ sorry i'm veeeery slow haha

[sly hawk]

Also, make sure these are both ticked.... makes your life easier!

@onyx moth

[onyx moth]

@sly hawklifesaverrrrr

i was sick of needing to change the font size haha

so if i lower the text size and increase the box size will that fix the quality? because where i'm at right now there are edges around the numbers

it's not fully rounded

HELLO! does anyone ever have an issue with photoshop not opening a new file or preset?

Have you googled 'free grass brushes photoshop'?

[raven vault]

so I made this flashlight texture for a night scene im working in in PS, but I'm wondering how would I apply it to the scene after i have it positioned where I want it? Would I use it as a clipping mask for the lut adjustment layer I'm using?

[lean kelp]

Hello. How do I apply a smart object layer to another layer? If I right click the smart object layer, I do not have the option to merge it down.

[lunar topaz]

quick question, I'm using the pen tool then making a selection then doing ctrl x to remove a certain part of an image, but instead of that deleted part being transparent, it's white. Any idea?

[ripe quest]

Is it a "Background" Layer? Unlock it first by tapping the little lock icon.

[buoyant marten]

I have a png that I want to use as a grid. is there a way I can enable snap to for the grid lines in the png without having to trace over the grid?

[hollow jasper]

im trying to select it but looks bad

[neon torrent]

can anyone help edit something for me? Im noob

[hollow shoal]

Try select it using the channels instead of the selection tool. then add some outer glow to it!

[sly hawk]

Select what?

The lightning strikes? What for? There is probably a better method for whatever you're trying to use them for.

[sly hawk]

I can probably help YOU edit something yourself, yeah. - what's the problem?

[sly hawk]

Unlikely, why are you using the PNG as a grid instead of the native, customisable, 'snapable' grid built within photoshop?

[river otter]

Show example.

[buoyant marten]

its a triangular grid, im not sure how to make that in the grid tools if its possible or not

[sly hawk]

I'm just wondering what the purpose of a Triangular grid is. - unless you're going for something isometric. - In which case, you can still match isometic points to be the same position as normal horizontal/vertical lines:

[buoyant marten]

yeah its isometric

[buoyant marten]

how are you doing that?

[sly hawk]

I nicked the image off the internet for the purpose of my question/visual. - but I'm just working on replicating it properly now.

[buoyant marten]

thank you for the help

[fluid crane]

[sly hawk]

I just downloaded this free isometric grid template from here:
https://dribbble.com/shots/2142956-Isometric-Grid-Template

From trial and error, I see that you can get the same snap points by making your grid exactly 32 pixels.

If you want it larger, just scale the entire image up by perhaps 200%, and then change the grid spacing to of course 64 pixels.

[buoyant marten]

awesome, thank you.. I thought I had to make the grid isometric somehow but I see what your doing now, that makes sense

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sly hawk (current: #7 - 699)

[sly hawk]

Ah. you may need to make your grid 16 pixels, not 32, since it skips out every other 'cross' on the isometric grid.

[buoyant marten]

okay, sounds good.. ill try that

[sly hawk]

If a fully working isometic grid is CRITICAL for you, you can always try out KRITA. Which is an alternative software. - I presume this grid allows snap points, but don't quote me on it!

https://krita.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/isometric-grid.gif

[buoyant marten]

oh nice, ill check that out too.. its for a topdown game/isometric game so its fairly important

[scenic compass]

OKAY, i want to continue the white border to the bottom white square and make it black but i have no idea how to do that

[pallid oracle]

I'm applying for a graphical designer job and they just sent me a task/challenge with the following information from the image to test my skills.
Do I make one design for 3 products and make them in all 3 provided resolutions? OR different design per resolution per product?

[willow gale]

I'm reading it as three separate projects, but can't you just ask for clarification from whomever sent it?

[river otter]

@pallid oracle I would do nothing for them.

[willow gale]

The flip side of this request is they are getting free designs from @pallid oracle. This is a tricky situation, I agree.

[willow gale]

Hi @scenic compass Not sure how well you know Photoshop... one approach is to create two outlined shape layers—one black and one white—and mask one of them.

[river otter]

Not only that, it is wrong on so many levels, I was in similar situation, and I can already see what kind of company that is.

[river otter]

I dont know if I am allowed about my situation here.

[willow gale]

I hear you. There was a recent Reddit post where the applicant wrote "I don't offer free design services" to a similar request and then came back to say they got the job.

[river otter]

Basically I did 10 InDesign catalogs, I got a job, but with broken pc screen, not working mice, old computer, while boss is driving 2023 car.

I quit first day.

Since I recognize it is east europe from language, he is in the same boat.
If someone ask me again that, I would just say to give me 5 monthly payements.
I wont return any and possibly wont accept job.
Comes to same as what they ask for.

[willow gale]

Only @pallid oracle can decide what to do, but I think it's helpful that you shared your experience.

[river otter]

Yeah, it's just what I went through.

Up to him/her.

[scenic compass]

i got as far as. to the "load selection" part, its grayed out andi cant press it

[river otter]

How is white border supposed to be seen on white image (down part)?
Change it to other color, and draw rectangle without fill and white stroke.

[river otter]

I think that this can be done pasting lines with same diatance, then merging it into one shape.
Then just change rotation.

[scenic compass]

i dont understand what you said ngl 😭 im sorry

[river otter]

You want down border to continue in black color?

[scenic compass]

yes

[river otter]

Two same rectangles, neither has fill, one has white and other has black stroke.
Select down white part (that down white rectangle, hold CTRL and mouse click it) now apply selection as a mask for both of the rectangles (only stroke) layers, play inverting CTRL+I on masks until you realize what does what, and you are done.

[scenic compass]

i think im just bad at reading and understanding text tbh is there any way you could take a video?

[river otter]

Not on pc now, but i can take you step by step in dm if you want.

[scenic compass]

okay!!

lets do that

[willow gale]

Sorry @scenic compass , I was helping someone else, do you still need help? Happy to break down what I showed.

[river otter]

I have followed many tutorials and troubleshooted but I cannot find how to fix. I have logged out of my account and signed back in, I have uninstalled and reinstalled, as well as trying previous versions but I still need help does anyone know how to fix this?

[ripe quest]

Is the Creative Cloud app updated to the latest version?

[dim gust]

How do I check?

[ripe quest]

Have you updated the CC app or the individual apps recently?

[ripe quest]

You're trying to install the Adobe Apps using credentials from your school's Teams/Enterprise Account?

If we want to make photo composition of 3 elements.
Photo is half underwater.

• Sky
• Sea
• Person (Half person is under water)
  All 3 elements coming from different photos.
  Matching sea, underwater and sky would not be that hard, we would boost cyans, blues and aquas, and escape reds, yellows and oranges.
  And now problems comes in.
  Our skin is full of red, yellows and oranges, all the colors we are escaping for sea and sky.
  How to match a person in this situation?

Escaping = Having low or none level of the particular color.

Not Photoshop question, but I hope I can ask it.

Hey, i used to make these in davinci resolve. Is it possible to recreate that red glow on the character in photoshop ?

[ivory rampart]

If character is on separate layer just add layer style to it

[potent wedge]

i used to do it with a plug in i have no idea how to do it by hand

[ivory rampart]

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/layer-effects-styles.html#:~:text=Do one of the following%3A 1 Click an,New Style in the Layer Style dialog box.

I doubt there will be a way to make it easily exactly like this.

[potent wedge]

Yeah i doubt it too, thought i'd ask anyway incase

[sly hawk]

Give me a moment and I'll have a think

[vapid flume]

There are things like that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6JidcNegBI
although I don't know if it helps

[tame musk]

How would i go about extending this sky downwards? I want to kinda keep it with the same blueish style and not make it obvious that its changed. heres the original as well

or is there a better way to maybe just change the yellowish colors in the original image to like blue

[vapid flume]

Also you could create a brush that looks like fire and "draw" with it.

https://www.behance.net/gallery/71992499/22-Free-Smoke-Fire-Brushes-for-Photoshop

then all you have to do is change the colour to red...

[vapid flume]

I would try the generative fill first.
If you have a relatively recent version, take your crop tool, extend your canvas to the final size you want
Making sure this option is selected

it will try to replacate the missing bit using generative AI

[potent wedge]

That is pretty interesting to know even if it doesn't end up working thanks

im definitely uh doing something wrong

[sly hawk]

Not exactly, but this is one approach I just tried (by hand) - on the fly....

[potent wedge]

tyvm, gonna try this right now

dont know if u care about it but i'll give u the karma too

[potent wedge]

thanks

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sly hawk (current: #7 - 700)

[vapid flume]

You forgot the bit where you had to EXTEND the canvas

you didn't extend it upwards, you just left it as it was, hence no change. Use the top handles (holding SHIFT or not, depending if you want to conserve the same ratio)

[tame musk]

i see, now its expanding to where i crop but everything thats already cut is not being filled

[vapid flume]

It only works from the pixel content and based on the area you are extending:

just fill the transparent bits with something else. I think the result is pretty good there! Saved you hours of drawing 🙂

you can take this new layer (the generated layer) and use it to perform your own composition. It's a nice starting point

At the very least if you want to fill a specific area, you need to select it first, and use the "generative fill" (different than the generative expand)
So select the area and click on the contextual bar

either don't write anything and it will try to fill based on the surrounding areas, or type a prompt and click "generate" (You need to generate for both cases)

Why does the image get slightly pushed to the side when using the normal ctrl c/v

Don’t know if anyone would know this but in illustrator I tried making a stripe pattern but now i am getting a grey line when using the swatch I made. Any idea on how to remove or fix? It is located towards the bottom moving horizontally.

[sly hawk]

(back now)
Is that grey line where the pattern seam is?

[river otter]

Check layers, Illustrator often leaves trash paths.

[deft sierra]

I created it in a 12x12 art-board and then put it in a 11x14 and when I used the rectangle tool to outline the bigger art-board it showed up

[river otter]

It is simply off your artboard.
That is artboard bottom line.

And possibly not in artboard but bellow it.

[deft sierra]

I think it’s in the artboard, here it is made smaller on a blank artboard

[river otter]

Send project in dm i ll check it.

Hello, I'm looking for a bit of help with the glassmorphism effect in Adobe. I am looking to create the effect to use as a overlay in my twitch streams, but I'm at a bit of a loss seeing as how the effect requires a background with gaussian blur

[deft sierra]

I believe it is the seam because they are showing up exactly in a 12x12

[willow gale]

Is that screen shot taken in Illustrator or did you place the art in Photoshop and then take it?

[deft sierra]

Taken in illustrator. Maybe I need to create the pattern starting in the dimensions that I will be using it in

[river otter]

No.

Vector can be resized however you want.

[willow gale]

I'm asking because while a bunch of us use Illustrator, the mods would prefer Illustrator questions be asked on the Illustrator discord: https://discord.com/channels/634884897185595412/637037500451258369

Just an FYI - I'm sure there is a smarter way, but it worked for me....

[river otter]

Its simply a waste path.

Hi design community
had a real quick question

[ripe quest]

This is the channel for questions (about Photoshop). Feel free to ask.

[viral compass]

mine is mostly about graphic illustartion u know
so how do I practice to achieve this level of Designing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OW5Fb9Nq6Y&ab_channel=seven
any tips or personal experience
Tnx a lot

[ripe quest]

So this is a heavily animated, professional presentation. What aspect specifically are you wanting to learn? To create things like this, you'd definitely want to start learning and working with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere. Adobe provides a lot of instructional content that you can use to start learning. That can get you started. The real learning happens when you start applying the lessons to your own projects.

[viral compass]

I mean I know after effects and illustrator already
but I don't have design skill
I'm an animator
just want to know how to practice to able to design on this level

[ripe quest]

"How to practice?" You learn the fundamentals of graphic design and practice by doing, i.e. create sample projects and try to emulate the design style that you like.

Post the projects online. Get feedback. Keep going.

[river otter]

I agree to all that D. Humann told you.
I can just add that you also need to be naturaly talented.
It is not about knowing software, it is about getting idea and struggling to achieve it.

For particular illustration you need a lot of Illustrator knowledge.
All that details of glow are possibly gradients placed or circle is 3D with applied lights on places.

I did this time ago.
From zero in Illustrator.
Was not fun at all for me, took few weeks, but I learn few things from it.

Ohh, now I see it is video.
It is all 3D I think, because it spins in video!

hey! i know this isnt really photoshop related but i found this server so i can ask for help because ive researched and there are no answers anywere so if anyone here is smart enough to know how to fix this issue please let me know. Ive tried everythingi could and nothing has helped me (ive tried resetting my pc, ive tried to task manage, ive tried CMD ive tried things and my last thought/option is to wipe my computer out to see if that helps but i dont really feel like doing that and i would like to try and avoid that problem if possible. My old computer neverhad this problem at all it would be a one and done thing no problems to the downloads at all.) If there is a fix to this please let me know ive been tying to figure this out for a few days now. please @ me. Thank you! (sorry if this makes no sense)

[buoyant marten]

check your task manager and close any adobe process

[lost drift]

ive tried task managing it theres no other adobe process unless i open the adobe cloud set-up

this is the only thing that pops up and i have nothing else that is being installed at the moment while trying to install adobe

I think you'd want to modify the shape using the Direct Selection tool to manipulate the anchor points. (As opposed to using Transform operations.)

[ripe quest]

Did you quit the installation and restart the machine as the dialog box suggests?

[lost drift]

ive even tried lightroom classic by itself (cause thats what i use) and does the same thing

[lost drift]

does this delete everything off the pc??

[ripe quest]

Everything meaning "Adobe Creative Cloud" apps.

[lost drift]

okay ill try this

[ripe quest]

Follow the instructions on that page... carefully.

Use the CC Cleaner. Restart the PC. Boot back up to Windows. Try running the Creative Cloud installer again.

[buoyant marten]

@lost drift you could also try the free version of revo uninstaller, it comes with a trial, its very good at removing bad uninstalls

[ripe quest]

Please try the Adobe Cleaner app before using any third-party stuff.

[buoyant marten]

yeah do that first

[lost drift]

i download the 64 bit?

[buoyant marten]

yep

@ripe quest that worked, I did direct selection then transform path? not sure what that is yet but then that allowed me to do a distort and I could warp it the way I needed it, thanks!

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #4 - 1600)

[ripe quest]

You are editing the elements of the vector object individually... directly selecting the anchor points and editing the shape. As opposed to editing the entire shape with a Transform operation. This is one of the many benefits of using vector graphics.

like adobe files?

[ripe quest]

Yes.

[lost drift]

no

i dont have files for adobe on this computer

[ripe quest]

I think you can just skip down to the step where you run the Cleaner app.

[lost drift]

ok

[ripe quest]

Download it. Run as Admin.

[lost drift]

i dont need this then?

[ivory terrace]

anyone know why this is because last night i made this project and it didn't show at school and then my school project doesnt show now on my pc

[ripe quest]

Are you signed in to your Adobe Account? Can you look in the "Files" area?

[lost drift]

here? sorry i just dont wanna mess anything up haha

[ivory terrace]

yes they are the same account

[ripe quest]

Yes. This. Download the app and follow the instructions when its finished downloading.

[ivory terrace]

This is what it looks like on my pc but at school it shows my projects I’ve done on that computer

[ripe quest]

Check in the Creative Cloud app and see if they show up there.

[ivory terrace]

ok

[ripe quest]

These are RECENTLY loaded projects. Not sync'd projects on the computer.

[ivory terrace]

is there any way to have the two computers sync

[ripe quest]

Are you storing the files locally somewhere or are they cloud files?

[ivory terrace]

Well I usually save the files as a psd and they are just there when i get back on the software

[ripe quest]

If you want work on projects between different PCs, I'd suggest saving the files as PSDC files.

PSDC = Photoshop Document Cloud files.

[ivory terrace]

ohh ok thank you so that means they should show at home and school because they are saved to my account rather than the computer, correct?

Thanks for the help

[ripe quest]

You should be able to see them in your Creative Cloud app... under "Files"

[lost drift]

it didnt even work

still does it

i did everything

[ripe quest]

You ran the cleaner app and uninstalled, restarted the PC already?

[lost drift]

yes

i did all the steps

i can redo it again to check but i dont think it worked

[ivory terrace]

thank you! i will do this with my project im working on

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #4 - 1601)

[ripe quest]

You've restarted Windows, yes?

[lost drift]

yes i restarted my pc

[ivory terrace]

also quick question when u have a sec - do plugins on one computer work on another or only the pc they are downloaded to

[ripe quest]

Sorry but you'll probably have to contact Adobe Customer Care. I'm not sure what else to suggest at this point. I'm not dedicated Support Staff.

[lost drift]

okay

thanks for trying to help 😢

ill just try and wipe my pc or something cause idk why its doing this

[ripe quest]

I wouldn't do that right now.

I would contact Customer Care first before you wipe/reinstall Windows.

[lost drift]

how do i contact them??

[ripe quest]

At the bottom of that page, there should be a link...

Tell them that you've already tried to uninstall and use the CC Cleaner app and you're still having this Error: 87 when trying to install Creative Cloud.

[lost drift]

sorry were did you find that

[ripe quest]

Its at the bottom of that page I posted with the info about the Cleaner app. (or almost any page at adobe.com)

[lost drift]

ok

[ivory terrace]

do u know this

[ripe quest]

Generally, they have to be installed on the PC you're sitting at.

Unless its a Cloud Service, it will need to be installed.

[ivory terrace]

ok thank you i was assuming that, but wanted to make sure

[lost drift]

Hey there. Ive recently been having some issues with my Adobe CC when downloading it. Ive tried everything that could of possibly worked but hasnt. Ive already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, Ive tried using Adobe CC Cleaner App and i still receive the error code: 87 when i try installing Adobe CC.

you think this is good

or just makes sense at least

[ripe quest]

"Adobe CC Cleaner App"

[lost drift]

im gonna use that lol

yes?

[ripe quest]

Yes. Error Code.

[lost drift]

okay

i write error code

?

[ripe quest]

App: Adobe Creative Cloud

[lost drift]

ok

[ripe quest]

Creative Suite

[lost drift]

this is what it gave me

im looking at them rn

[ripe quest]

There may not be any actual person to speak with at the moment. You might have to wait until tomorrow.

[lost drift]

oh ok

do you know any programs similar to lightroom classic??

[ripe quest]

What about trying to sign in to your account via the web and using the web tools? Lightroom Web.... ?

Photoshop for the Web, Lightroom Web... etc.

[lost drift]

yeah this one works

i can try using this one for now

thanks for helping ill try more tomorrow see if anything works

[ripe quest]

I would contact Adobe Customer Care, and try to speak to a real person. Go over with them the steps you've tried. Hoepfully, they can give you more insight than I can.

[lost drift]

okay

thanks ill try that

[ivory terrace]

how do i take one picture then use a tool to make a certain part another layer that can be moved like if i want to take a circle out of the center of a picture and can move it

[ripe quest]

Use a Layer Mask. See: https://discord.com/channels/547473772727238676/1045711257178738760

Or just make a selection and copy and paste it to a new layer.

(Not really sure what the desired outcome is.)

[thick tangle]

@sly hawk where can I find it ? Is it on YT or where? (Sry for pinging u)

[bitter berry]

Is it possible to make an image like this straight? As in looking directly at the camera?

[river otter]

Hi everyone, I am fairly new at Photoshop and I've been struggling to cut off the bounding box around the shapes I created (I used combine shape --> subtract front shape) for the logo. Now it looks like in the image and I was wondering if there is any way to remove it without rasterizing the layers?

[open sail]

Hello, my action is behaving correctly if I activate it via the ''Play Selection'' or ''Button Mode > Click the action'', but is behaving differently if I activate it via the hotkey assigned to it, why is that? Example below

Edit for anyone reading this from the future, the issue lies with the ''SHIFT'' key being used as a hotkey, you can solve the issue by using ''CTRL'' instead of it

Forgot to convert the recording to MP4 🫢

[sly hawk]

I'd suggest to investigate 'SMART OBJECTS'. This would basically allow you to 'nest' your truly editable image inside a single, simple layer non-distructively.

...then use a layer mask to hide all the protruding bits sticking off the canvas,.

[vapid flume]

There is a filter in neural filters that allows to change the eye direction, but it's made for photos and it will need the eyes visible which is not the case here
Unless you manage to get a prompt in the generative AI from that (not idea if it will work) then I would say you'll have to redraw it...

[foggy seal]

A guide to this exact look?

[vapid flume]

You might want to try a pixellation effect, and that effect would be blurred. I wouldn't know the exact amount of pixellation and blur, as it will depend on the size of your file, but you can try experimenting with that
I suggest you do on a smart object so that you can tweak the settings without having to redo everything every time.

Or maybe there is a filter developped by someone (as an action or script) that does that already?
That would be "I went to a Dinosaur Jr concert, been invited backstage and I forgot my camera 😉" filter

on a more brute force approach, there seem to be a hell lot of jpeg artifacts

So one way would be to simply save as a JPEG, low quality, and open the newly saved JPEG, save it again, low quality, agian and again, saving from the newest version until it gets destroyed like it is here

[foggy seal]

How do you save jpeg in low quality?

[vapid flume]

it asks you the quality when you do "save as"

12 is the maximum, but if you go 4 or under, you will start to see the degradation

It's good to test things also. If you had tried to save as a JPEG, you would have found out yourself. Experimentation is how you achieve things in Photoshop. There is no better school!

[foggy seal]

Okay thanks, i will try that out

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume (current: #8 - 487)

[sly hawk]

I usually just make sure the image is RASTERISED and just shrink, accept, and then stretch it back out again.

[agile forum]

any know how i can do this?

[ivory rampart]

Select object -> create new layer -> fill selection with solid color -> add text layer with question mark

[sly hawk]

Yep, just like M4gpul suggested. - Here are the buttons if you're stuck....

[dreamy oracle]

Hello I need to make a magazine cover for a school project

basically the picture is supposted to be vertical but mine i 1920x1080

does anyone know how i can make it vertical without ruining it

[ivory rampart]

Change image size to what you need and fill gaps with same color as its solid color

Image-> canvas size

Or you can use generative fill on new canvas

[dreamy oracle]

So what size?

Is vertical

[ivory rampart]

Whatever your magazine is

You can just revert size

1080x1920

But your teacher probably gave you resolution

[open sail]

I guess my best bet is to ask this question in the photoshop forums online? I'm not sure if it's a bug

[vapid flume]

One thing would be to go to the crop tool, set it to 16/9 (it's a preset) and then switch both sizes

then go to the drop down menu on the right and choose "content aware"

you can also try generative expand

Now before commiting to the crop, go and refine the composition of the image. Are you on centre? how's the ratio of the empty space at the top? Correct that.
When you hit enter, Photoshop will try to fill the empty space based on the rest of the image

in your case, the grey background

[warm hill]

how do i change the color of my font when its a smart object i tried using gradient overlay but the thing is that it also has stroke so that messes the whole text

[vapid flume]

You will need to double click on it to open the nested file and change the colour there

Another way would be to duplicate your smart object and have the stroke on one layer, the colour overlay on the other, and set the "fill" (not opacity) setting to 0 for the top one.

[sly hawk]

Did that work for you @warm hill ?

[warm hill]

i didnt have enough patience to wait so i just played around with hue saturation and that somehow worked.

[warm hill]

anyways thank you

[fickle yew]

Why can Premiere Ultrakey out a green screen in hundreds of frames instantly and Photoshop does this nonsense? Is there a setting to turn all instances of a particular color transparent?

[limpid vessel]

How can i make it so the halftone texture (the one in front of the rectangle) fits right into it? Without these loose parts hanging on the bottom.

[ripe quest]

One way is a Clipping Mask. Right-click on the halftone pattern and choose 'Create Clipping Mask'

[ripe quest]

Premiere was designed for editing video/video frames and doing some visual effects. Photoshop, while having some video functionality, was not designed to edit thousands of frames of video. You can run Batch Actions on still frames of video but this requires some time and care setting up the Action.

[fickle yew]

Sorry, I wasn't clear, I just wanted to remove the lime green background from a single image

[ripe quest]

Try: Select > Color Range and adjust the fuzziness. With the selection active, add a Layer Mask. Then you can tweak the mask edges to remove any stray pixels.

[fickle yew]

And every time I try to do something similar, PS is like "I'd better keep this random blob of green, it feels important"

[fickle yew]

where is the select menu?

[ripe quest]

File, Edit, Image, Layer, Type,... Select

[fickle yew]

Thank you!

It's just so weird to me that this isn't a task that can be done from the "remove background" option. Like let us say what the background is when we're lucky enough to have a picture taken against a plain background.

[ripe quest]

There is a Quick Action called "Remove Background"

[fickle yew]

Yeah, that's how I got the blobs

Plus it took out quite a bit of the subject

[ripe quest]

It doesn't work for every instance. This is why I suggested that you try "Color Range and Layer Mask"

[fickle yew]

I will, assuming PS is even the right tool for this? Like Pr does it better(except you can't save the result to a picture file), maybe Illustrator has a good background remover

[lunar belfry]

photoshop spellcheck seems a bit broken...
both of these are spelled correctly

[ripe quest]

If you're working with a raster image, Photoshop is the correct tool.

[lunar belfry]

....

[ripe quest]

Can you report it to the Photoshop Community Forum as a bug?

[fickle yew]

If I open a .png as a new Ps file, is that a raster image?

[lunar belfry]

just spotted the problem

its in spanish for some reason

time to figure out why

[ripe quest]

There are raster/bitmap images which are built using a grid of pixels (each one is assigned a color value), e.g. JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc. There are vector graphics which are made of shapes with anchor points, color information, e.g. AI, SVG, EPS, etc.

Some file formats handle both types of graphics.

[zealous fossil]

Heyo! Been wanting to install PS but I only need that one app, do I need to install Creative Cloud or can I pay and download PS directly?

[sly hawk]

@zealous fossil installing Creative Cloud doesn't mean you need the full suite.

Think of it like STEAM for games.

[ivory rampart]

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

I think you can dl just installer for PS

[sly hawk]

You can install steam, even if you want to use it for one single game.

[brittle goblet]

how could i make this thing in photoshop? this chromic effect

its more like ice

[vapid flume]

it seems difficult to create something so photo realistic with that kind of details in Photoshop only, unless you're willing to draw it from scrtach (which is entirely possible)
Check that and see if it gives you ideas. I know it's not entirely the same thing, but it could be a starting point
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD385BGtzsI

This kind of image is generally done in 3D

so not with Photoshop

Same here:

I've created a patter by creating a 500x500 pixel square and then filter offset then choose 250 & 250 although there is a gap imbertween my pattern here anyone know why this is and how to emend it?

please

also why so pixelated?

[minor birch]

hey i'm having an issue from exporting from Illustrator to Photoshop, when i create the file, it can take some time, opening it in photoshop takes 10+ minutes, it's extremely slow, file is 15mb, specs 64gb, 5950x cpu, 4090 gpu, 980 pro nvme, i've tried studio drivers for nvidia, i've tried increasing ram, decreasing ram, changed scratch disk, changing to a lower DPI when exporting, also tried updating

[sterile grove]

Does anyone know how to fix ps freezing and I have to go to task manager and close the program?

[quasi canyon]

I worked out the gap although can't work out why such poor quality

like pixelated

[wind narwhal]

Are you working on the latest version of Photoshop?

[quasi canyon]

fixed thanks

[wind narwhal]

I just made a test here, it's working fine, maybe the offset options or the size?

[wind narwhal]

Oh awesome! How did you fixed? Just curious 😄

[quasi canyon]

I worked it out I then applied the pattern to some text although when I copy the text as an smart object into another photoshop document and try to resize it the orange is showing through and the dimaonds have disappeared

i used the orange so could make a mask easliy

[quasi canyon]

I just moved the pattern around and then resaved it and it worked

may have accidently left a gap to the left of the pattern which was casusing the line

[sterile grove]

no

will updating fix it?

I will update

[ripe quest]

Generally, this is the easiest thing to try and may fix certain issues.

Hi, I'm trying to add a gradient map to a text with a double stroke effect, but after applying the gradient the stroke looks like that..any help will be appreciated.Tia

[sly hawk]

Are you sure a 'gradient map' is what you're looking for here?

A gradient and a gradient map are both different things.

[sharp vortex]

Yeah, with gradient map and inner shadow i can achieve that chrome look...

[sly hawk]

Cool. Just checking

[sharp vortex]

I can duplicate the text layer and place it above the gradient map, but I'm looking to make the text editable...

[river otter]

How are you applying it to stroke when 48 looks like shape?

[sharp vortex]

I've added the effects and convert the text to smart object

[river otter]

Ahh, you want to all.
Delete that gradient fill.

And draw on gradient map mask.

I dont see why you have it there.

[sharp vortex]

ok,let me try

here's without the gradient fill

[river otter]

You should be able to use gradient tool on mask to repeat what you had on gradient fill.
But, already you can see it works now.

I am not sure what is your end goal, I just noticed Gradient Fill is what was messing it.
Just to be clear.

[sharp vortex]

without the gradient fill the text is only grey color with strokes...I'm looking to do it with gradient color

[river otter]

Just do this on Gradient Map mask.

Your text layer is not the same, it is not smart object now.

Non destructive text gradient should be done in text effects, not gradient map, if you are going for that.

And it is the best way.

[sharp vortex]

I wanna do it that way...

with curved gradient "line"

that's why I'm using the gradient map

[river otter]

https://youtu.be/Usc42WPXfRI?si=HdVbctdr9MzfiHKd

[sharp vortex]

thx, will take a look

[sand schooner]

Can anybody help me edit an image of me and my friend who passed?

[river otter]

@sharp vortex gradient map applies color to tonal range.
Gradient fill alone is maybe better in your case

But, again, text should be smart object.

[sharp vortex]

can i share you my psd file to check if i did it right?

[river otter]

Sure

[river otter]

What you want stroke to be like?

One stroke is black and it disctates to gradient map tonality.

[sharp vortex]

great

[river otter]

You already did it before.
It is your text layer that dictates what color will gradient map apply.

For example, if I put stroke to be black

[sharp vortex]

got it

[river otter]

And you solved it by copying text layer, and putting it above gradients.

[sharp vortex]

my goal was to do it without duplicate the text layer if possible

[river otter]

Aha! Lets see

Make selection of top layer, apply mask to gradient map and invert it.

Sorry, wasn't understanding.
Hope that solves it for you.
Just, when you change text, you will have to change that mask too.
I don't think there is another way, but this one is easier, then to update 2 type layers.

[sharp vortex]

great, thank you.. appreciate your help

[river otter]

Hey, hey.
I am just thinking.

You have very easy solution for this.

Lemme just try it to be sure.

Hello, I'm designing a shirt that can only use at most 4 colors including the background. I'm noticing that the more I work on it, he more a couple of slightly different colors keep popping up. Do you know of any way to seek those colors out quickly so I can make everything match exactly? Maybe a tool that searches automatically and tells me how much of each hex code there are. I can't really share the design for privacy reasons

Or, optimistically, do you think it will actually matter for most screenprinting places?

[rocky zenith]

Oh wait I actually know this one, just move the text layer further down

right in front of the background

[random bison]

still doesn't work

is the square partly transparent or something

Hello! So I took 2 winter design courses, but due to life's craziness I didn't have much time to work on them...so here I am I guess haha (I rlly hope this is the right place to ask..).

For reference, I have some previous adobe experience, but am a bit rusty as most of my experience is from YEARS ago. I have until Jan. 26 to complete everything, so if there is anyone I could connect with to help with questions and other stuff (such as keeping me in check with doing my work) I would really appreciate it lmao! If you took the time to read this I really appreciate it btw -- I hope you all have a lovely day!

[sly hawk]

Yes

[patent gyro]

This is the right channel for questions! Can you explain more about the scope of work you need to complete? A week to do 2 courses' worth seems intense. As for keeping in check, that's part of self-discipline and grown over time. You could try posting progress in #📝project-feedback along the way at intervals you set for yourself if that helps motivate you

[sly hawk]

If you can only use 4 colours on a t-shirt, I assume you're doing a screenprint.

That means you're probably doing something that would be suited to vector.

That means you can use illustrator for this

This means you can use illustrators tools to specifically only use exactly 4 colours.

[sly hawk]

OK, what's your task/brief?

[sly hawk]

Can you share your design? I'll hopefully show you how to achieve what you want.

[rocky zenith]

Mind if I DM?

[fossil badge]

It's all pretty introductory UI/UX Adobe work -- so use of Photoshop/Illustrator for creating logos, posters for UX research (which I have already conducted), creating a tutorial video on Premiere Pro which I used to use a lot, and using InDesign to animate a logo/character .... which I have no experience with. And I think I will definitely make use of the feedback channel, thank you!!

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @patent gyro (current: #394 - 3)

[sly hawk]

That's fine.

[sly hawk]

Indesign to animate a logo?

[patent gyro]

InDesign is page layout, do you mean Animate?

[sly hawk]

Do you mean After Effects?

[patent gyro]

or that

[sly hawk]

(Or animate)

Lol

[patent gyro]

many options! probably just not indesign

[fossil badge]

That's what I had written in my notebook for the project, but I will check that right now!

[sly hawk]

Yeah. You'd have a better chance of animating using Microsoft Paint than with Adobe Indesign.

Animating Logo entrance is a crap load easier than a 'character'

Also, what's the video meant to be a tutorial for?

[fossil badge]

Omg haha -- so it is After Effects (which I also have never used..) I will paste the outline below so I sound less crazy haha:

---

Using Vector artwork and After Effects shape layers, create a brief yet compelling graphic animation.

Including any of the 12 principals of animation as well as advanced keyframing techniques is encouraged.

The resulting video should be at least 5-7 seconds minimum, however, please feel free to exceed this length if you need to.

[sly hawk]

....
The rest is fine and could literally be done in a couple of hours - but learning AfterEffects in a day or two is a TALL order.

[fossil badge]

it could be for anything we learned in the course - since most of my expertise lies with using Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro I may do something for one of those programs?

[fossil badge]

Exactly haha, I'm not too worried for the rest. But using InDesign for creating a "brochure" and After Effects? I'm not too confident tbh

[river otter]

@sharp vortex Sorry, none worked with effect like you want.
Gradient is always line.
The only way is that to have mask always.

[sly hawk]

Indesign is a piece of cake. If you can use photoshop and illustrator, indesign follows that same sort of principals.

[patent gyro]

Illustrator and InDesign you can get tips and feedback in the Illustrator server, I see you've already cross-posted there so that'll be a good resource

[fossil badge]

Oh that's great! So I guess most of my time will be dedicated to trying to figure out After Effects lmao

[sly hawk]

So... what's the plan?

Design a logo in photoshop or illustrator

Use logo for a poster in indesign

Use logo for a brochure in indesign

Make a tutorial video using premiere Pro

Animate the logo entrance animation using After Effects

[sharp vortex]

It's fine,i can live with that:) Thank you

I believe the best course of action is creating the logo first haha

[sly hawk]

OK. Let's start with the logo.

Got any ideas yet?

[fossil badge]

I drew a few (not great) sketches? They're logos for ourselves and I couldn't think of much

Where did the interpolation options go? I am using the latest version.

[sly hawk]

You need to be in transform mode first mate!

Cntrl + T I assume

[vagrant pine]

Are there any courses that help with grafic design?

[celest kraken]

It used to be there if transform controls were activated with the move tool, and even when i enter transform mode it doesn't show up.

[sly hawk]

mm. Will have a quick think

[river otter]

Yes.
On Udemy a bunch.

[sly hawk]

you're still not in transform mode

Start trying to resize your layer and it will appear as if by magicc

5 for me too.

[cursive crater]

when hitting ctrl+t to rotate, is it possible to add an anchor point so it spins from like a certain corner of something instead of the center?

[river otter]

Yes, activate it on upper toolbar.

[river otter]

It will be in center of object, than you move it to a place which will be rotation center.

[fossil badge]

I think I could definitely do something like that! I may want to do something to "feminize" it? but i think that's very good inspo....now to see if i can recreate something as good haha

[river otter]

You do want to have one black one white version of logo too.
Do not forget that.

Like, one fancy, but also white and black versions.

[fossil badge]

i definitely agree - i will work on something now

[vagrant pine]

uh i just accidentally pressed controll W and my project just vanished

[sly hawk]

Hey, maybe utilise the negative space of the M for a cat!
