[timid cliff]

@ripe quest thanks…now I need help with the font…should I leave it like that? I would think it would look better in some type of effect…thoughts?

Imo the font look dull no life in it

[cursive mantle]

Can also use a hue/saturation adjustment layer with a rough mask

Or a solid colour layer on colour or hue blend mode

[timid cliff]

@cursive mantle what can I do to the font and color of Desire…looks a bit dull imo compared to the rest of the image

[cursive mantle]

Bevel and Emboss at the top of the layer styles panel

Maybe add a glitter texture

[fickle phoenix]

Hey every1 m new 2 d photoshop. Currently I can't afford to buy the jingsketch brushes for free for photoshop, so is there any other similar type of brushes available for free? So would u plz like to guide me by sharing the alternative of those brushes link?

[ripe quest]

I told you earlier: check out the Brushes provided by Adobe and Kyle Webster. These brush packs contain almost every brush you'll probably ever need: https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/brushes.html

[ripe quest]

In addition to adding some effects, you might want to adjust the brightness/contrast of the background so that the text stands out a bit more.

[timid cliff]

How is that?

[eternal tinsel]

having major issue with my pen not completing my stroke
is this a hardware issue?
its like the faster i try to be the worse it is. i have to really hold and drag my pen for it to accurately draw the line were my cursor starts or else it just draws the line with a gap

better video

[ripe quest]

Maybe check the sensitivity / pressure curve on your tablet.

[eternal tinsel]

ya cause it was doing that in zbrush too

but its worse in ps

[ripe quest]

Open up the settings for your tablet and try adjusting the pressure sensitivity and velocity curve.

[eternal tinsel]

does pressure sens affect your lines thought it seems like the tablet itself isnt even recongizing my stroke at all

[ripe quest]

Have you ever adjusted those settings for the way that you draw?

[eternal tinsel]

like once but it only affects how hard you press

not if its regiestering your stroke

like my settings is on a light touch than default anyways

so its not like im not pressing down hard enougj

[ripe quest]

"Light touch"? Maybe that's why. I don't know.

[eternal tinsel]

the term light touch means you jsut need a lighter touch with your pen to increase the thickness

the firmer the touich more you have to press down

so its not lke im not pressing down hard enough

[ripe quest]

I don't know. My Wacom works fine with Photoshop (and everything else).

[eternal tinsel]

maybe its a hardware issue

like the tablet itself or the cord possibly idk i just got a new cord like 3 months ago

[timid cliff]

I did it….thx @ripe quest n @cursive mantle …. Printing it on a T-Shirt

Hey folks, I know this is "all things photoshop, but I figure most folks here would also know Lightroom.

I'm new to the world of photo editing. I'm getting started with Astrophotography as a hobby. I've taken a set of photos as FITS images, processed them in Astro Pixel Processor, and saved the results as a 16-bit Integer-based TIFF file. For some reason, when I load this in Lightroom, even though the preview looks as it does in Astro Pixel processor, the actual image in Lightroom looks extremely washed out. I've been googling on this, but to no avail. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Here's what the photos look like side by side leaving Astro Pixel Processor and entering Lightroom. I have been pulling my hair out about this for two days and am at a loss.

[nocturne cairn]

Are the images assigned a color profile? If not, different programs could be assuming different profiles which could explain the different appearances.

[tawdry depot]

They are not.

At this point I've done nothing more than installed PS and Lightroom, and opened the images in Lightroom

Oh do you mean when exporting from Astro Pixel Processor? The ICC Profile thing?

I've tried it with every option, from sRGB v2 to Adobe RGB to Pro Photo RGB or what have you

[nocturne cairn]

Exactly. Does your Astro program embed a profile into the images?

[nocturne cairn]

In the lower left corner of Photoshop, click on the arrow and choose Document Profile.

[tawdry depot]

Yes, but I've tried every one and the reuslt is the same

[nocturne cairn]

Just because a program is using a particular profile, doesn’t mean that profile is necessarily embedded in an image export. For example, in Export As in Photoshop, the “Embed Color Profile” checkbox needs to be on.

I have a noob question, but I have a logo that I do not have the original PSD file anymore. Is it possible to give it to a designer so they can make the logo into a PSD file as a new source file. What is that process called? Vectorizing?

basically I want to have a source file for that logo again, how do I go about doing it?

[nocturne cairn]

They may have to rebuild the logo from scratch. Can you post the image so we can better guide you?

[fallen wing]

yea i dont mind if they do it from scratch, I am just trying to understand what I need to say 😅

1 moment I will link the file

@nocturne cairnthats the logo

[nocturne cairn]

Generally a logo should be built using vector tools. Such a vector file can be scaled to any size. While Photoshop has numerous great vector tools, logo construction would generally be done in Illustrator.

[fallen wing]

so what do i tell a designer? I want you to give me a vector file of this logo?

and to give it to me in AI and PSD?

[nocturne cairn]

“Can you create a vector version of this logo and give it to me an either an Illustrator file or a PDF?”

[fallen wing]

thanks 🙂

[nocturne cairn]

The graphics in this logo could easily be traced in either Photoshop or Illustrator.

[fallen wing]

and then once I have the vector file, I can use it for anything else I want in the future such as an animation, poster, etc?

[nocturne cairn]

The text could also be relatively easily traced. However, it would be easier if you knew the exact font that was used. Text in Photoshop or Illustrator can be easily converted to vectors.

[nocturne cairn]

No worries. Thank you.

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @fallen wing (current: #838 - 1)

[nocturne cairn]

Exactly. Vector files can be scaled to any size.

[fallen wing]

awesome

yea i dont have access to the source file now 😦

so i am looking to recreating it

[nocturne cairn]

While it would be easier to know the font that was used it's not absolutely required for you to get your vector based logo.

[fallen wing]

no way i know the font, it was done 14 years ago

[nocturne cairn]

Fair enough 😉

[nocturne cairn]

I'm signing off mate. Best of luck with the project.

[fallen wing]

thank you

[hot thorn]

I'm having a small issue here

I'm doing some changes with the curve/levels and when I hit apply, the result is different then what I see on the preview

see for example. the left how it looks and then the right after I hit apply

[sly hawk]

I'm pretty sure that the font is simply Calibri anyway.

[timid minnow]

hey, how do I make the photo lay on the ground (on the place of the black rectangle) realistically?

[sly hawk]

Yeah, Defo Calibri. - But some satanist stretched and pulled it out of proportions.... when cough-- designing --cough it.

[gentle sluice]

Does anyone know if there's a tiling hexagon pattern in the Photoshop presets for Patterns and I'm just missing it, and failing that know where to get one?

[sly hawk]

Like this?

[timid minnow]

thanks a lot <3

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sly hawk (current: #7 - 732)

Yes, is there one in photoshop patterns already though? But yes that.

[sly hawk]

Not that I'm aware,... I just downloaded these:
https://www.shapes4free.com/downloads/70426991/2011/07/hexagon-photoshop-patterns.zip

and they worked pretty well...

[gentle sluice]

Oddly I tried downloading those Shapes4Free last night when I searched for them, and the page just looped to something else. Thanks for the direct link, that's what I wanted yesterday 🙂

[sly hawk]

Yeah, I found that. I tried removing the '#' in the URL and only then did it actually work.

[gentle sluice]

I didn't even seen that, but then again I was looking at 3am. My more rationale mind thought "I'll ask on Discord in the morning"

[nocturne cairn]

Does it help if you view the images at 100%? Are you possibly zoomed in or out when making these changes?

[round kindle]

Hi so question: I have not used photoshop in yeeears. Not even sure which version it was. It was back in windows xp days haha.

So I am fairly interested in getting back into some photo editing and things of that nature. Now I have clearly noticed there are many options that do various features.

So here are my interests, it would be things such as regular photo editing, rendering. I run a gaming community and the fella that was doing all the artwork recently due to health had to step away. So I would like to be able to create things such as banners, logos, if possible emojis for discord, maybe some animated artwork. Now my first question would be is which would be the best option to suite what i am trying to accomplish ?

Also: back then, you were able to buy photoshop at a fixed price rather than subscription. Does this still exist as an option? Or is it only subscription via monthly/yearly?

-thanks

I did attempt to search google about my subscription question. I could not find much other than Photoshop Elements. I am unsure what that is in comparison to the others.

[steel acorn]

how do i remove the shadow of my hand?

[timid minnow]

excuse me, I really cant work with the warp tool and I'm getting frustrated, can I please send u the file to place it lay on the rocks?

[rapid obsidian]

One way is to paint highlights on shadow area.

Create an adjustment layer of Brightness/Curves/Exposure.
Then make it bright.
Then add mask to it and paint only the shadowy area.

[steel acorn]

what does it mean to paint highlights on the area?

the shadow isnt very uniform

[rapid obsidian]

If you paint highlights on shadow area, it will become as white as the brighter area, You can change flow and opacity

[steel acorn]

is highlights a tool?

[rapid obsidian]

No, its called Painting highlights and shadow. You might want to search adjustments layer and this

[steel acorn]

theres no such thing here

[rapid obsidian]

there are exposure, brightness and curves there.

you can chose any of them

[steel acorn]

ok

how do i make it so it doesnt become blue? @rapid obsidian

this is the best i could do but the shadow is still there

[rapid obsidian]

It is because there is slight blue on the paper.

You can desaturate(take out colors so that only black and white remains).

You will need to create hue saturation adjustment layer this time.

Also you if do you actually mind the image.
And just care about

Black (the music signs).

Then you can get a Print like image.

The way to do it is little tricky so i doubt it.
Do you want to try?

[steel acorn]

yes

[rapid obsidian]

Ok.
So we will take out the Blacks out from this image.
The DARK blacks.

So that we get only music signs.

But there are different intensities of black.
So we will need to duplicate the layer several times.

One -for darkes

• Two - for less dark
  Three - for last dark.

So duplicate layer like 4-5 times.

Then select one of them.
Then on the top of screen.
You will see like File Image Layers etc.

Click on Image > Adjustments > threshold.

Then adjust slider.

Get one tone of blacks.

Then repeat it again
Until you cover all like..tone/tolerance.

At last combine them all by erasing and joining.

You will get a pure black and white image.

[steel acorn]

how do i "get one tone of blacks"?

[rapid obsidian]

Just adjust the slider in threshold panel.

[steel acorn]

so i do like 30 60 90 and so on?

[rapid obsidian]

One time get the script from Brightest part.

Then second time get from shadow.

[rapid obsidian]

Yeah. Slide it to what does the best.

[steel acorn]

now how do i combine them?

[rapid obsidian]

Erase the empty area(white) with erasor

The Eraser tool.

[steel acorn]

empty?

this is how it looks

[rapid obsidian]

You thresholded the shadow too.

Do not adjust value to where you see the hand.

Only adjust where you see the notes.

[steel acorn]

wait i think i got it

how do i remove all these little dots? @rapid obsidian

[rapid obsidian]

Is whole thing visible now

[steel acorn]

im slowly erasing each layer where the shadow can be seen

[rapid obsidian]

If you are satisfied with whole image.
And do not have large part of shadow on image

Only dots remain.
Then click all layers and press CTRL + E.
To combine them.

It will become 1 layer.

But do not do before you clean big shadows.

[steel acorn]

ok but i kinda have to remove the dots since i need to use a program to read what is written

and the little dots impair the vision

[rapid obsidian]

Yes.
Combine it into one image.

Then hit CTRL + SHIFT + A.

For camera raw filter.

[steel acorn]

what is camera raw filter?

[rapid obsidian]

We will remove dots from image there.

Then in camera raw.

You will see different panels.

You want to,
Go to Details.
And slide denoise to full.

Also,
In basic panel.

Slide texture to low.
And clarity as well. According to how it looks.

[steel acorn]

oh thank you so much

[rapid obsidian]

Is it done?

[steel acorn]

im almost done but i have to go now, if i have any problems ill tag you later but i dont think ill have any

[rapid obsidian]

Great. Bye.

[sly hawk]

Hey 🙂

I didn't even save it, but if you can send me your file (not the dodgy screengrab I worked from before), I don't mind doing it for you.

@rapid obsidian @steel acorn - That looked like an almost impossible task! I'd be interested to see how you got on.

[rapid obsidian]

Thanks.
Great to see you again DJ.

[sly hawk]

Best I could do, in the 3 minutes of trying was this:

[frozen magnet]

does anyone have any good border concept for these

I want stuff outside of the actual window to have a border, simply gui modding

this is what the base game is, i want to have a border that fit perfectly with this so it doesnt look bad

[rapid obsidian]

I would add Golden border.

[hearty ferry]

How to Remove White Background in Photoshop?

[rapid obsidian]

Select any selection tool.
On top panels you should see 'Select subject'.

Also, there is an Object selection tool.

[hearty ferry]

Thank you

[sly hawk]

I don't understand... is the 2nd image the CURRENT base game? It's literally different proportions?

[timid minnow]

yeah sure, I'd be more than grateful if you could do it.
i just added a rock with generative fill because i thought it would look more natural for the picture to lean on it. I've also added how I imagine it being placed

[rapid obsidian]

This image is really sad..

[sly hawk]

Feel free to tweak the warped image accordingly. - It's a smart object so can be adjusted back and forth without turning into a pixelated mess.

Regarding the issue of making the images larger, you may want to start by using an AI Upscaler to increase the physical size of the images you have. However, there are various limitations and these apps won't necessarily improve the quality of the image.

The best way is to capture larger, better quality images from the start.

[weary cairn]

I will try that but youre right i have to do the next fotos with a camara who can do a better job

Thank you for youre Advice i appreciate that very much (:

[winged copper]

Hey, can sb help me? I want to remove everything that is in this greenish gray, but I just can't do it, if I select it with Hue/Saturation it says it's yellows

[sly hawk]

Is that the original image?

Or is that a few layers placed over one another in your photoshop project @winged copper ?

[ripe quest]

If its a flattened image, its probably going to be difficult.

[ripe quest]

You could try the Remove Tool...

However, if this is a repeating pattern / tile image, the edges could be a problem. :)

[sly hawk]

I have no idea what you're trying to achieve, but a gradient map may be relevant too:

[steel acorn]

i cant find any of these options

actually i found texture and clarity but i cant find denoise

[ripe quest]

This person is no longer in the server. You're using the Camera Raw Filter, I assume?

[steel acorn]

yes, it didnt remove all the dots as they told me, it doesnt matter now though i managed to remove them manually enough

[frosty seal]

is there a quicker method to removing the background smalls rocks (keepign the rail and concrete) as opposed to zooming in and selecting like this

[quasi aurora]

super small question, I've noticed my layers on the layers docker are much...thinner? than before? google pointed me to changing the thumbnail size but that doesn't quite bring them to normal. Any idea what I did?

[torpid spoke]

Why does it not do the entire picture when I click select subject

And I can’t put the text behind the image anymore

Bc of this

[ripe quest]

Layers Panel. Hamburger Menu... Panel Options.

[ripe quest]

"Select Subject" happens automatically based on algorithms. You might need to make a more custom/defined selection. I'm not really sure what you mean with the rest of what you're saying...

[ripe quest]

Sorry. I don't understand the goal here.

[quasi aurora]

apparently it was "thumbnail contents" set to "entire document" instead of "layer bounds", thanks for the help

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #3 - 1623)

[quasi aurora]

there must've been a shortcut to do that because I definitely did not do that on purpose lmao

[ripe quest]

If there is a shortcut for that, I don't know what it is. :)

[frosty seal]

you see that there are small rocks and then there are two rails and then concrete blocks where the rails sit on
i need to remove the rocks from the background, basically making the rails and concrete blcoks a seperate texture with no rocks

should be phrased better lol

so for example like this, just wondering if there is a quick way of doing that

[ripe quest]

I would make a copy of the layer and hide it. Then I would make a rectangular selection where the tracks are and try use Gen Fill and the Remove Tool to make that "all rocks". Then, on the copy, I would use a Layer Mask and paint out all of the rocks. Then you have the two layers separated. It will take a little work, but I think it shouldn't be that tough.

[frosty seal]

n/a found it

[ripe quest]

With the Healing Tools...

[frosty seal]

alright ,thanks 👍

[ripe quest]

Sorry. I haven't experienced this. Perhaps something specific with this document? Is there something to "scroll" down to?

If you suspect that then maybe just save the project and restart the app (or possibly restart your computer).

I would first try just restarting InDesign.

It could be a bug. Perhaps you could post to the InDesign Community Forum on the web. Include the particulars about your computer (platform, os version) and version of InDesign installed. https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/ct-p/ct-indesign?page=1&sort=latest_replies&lang=all&tabid=all

Hey guys I hope all is well. I'm trying to make my picture transparent but i needed to crop out some things so I masked it and took out what I needed to. Since the whole picture is being used as a mask do you guys know how I can make it transparent without having the cropped out parts come back?

[sly hawk]

Yeah. Probably. Can you DM me the image?

So, I'm trying to make a tcg using photoshop. Problem I have is pathing, by that I mean-- let's say I wanted to make a frame, but they are not mismatched, here's a better example:

Hello 👋 idk If i can ask Here about this i have See a YouTube Thumbnail which i Like and i want know how can do the too IS IT allow to Post the Image ?

[ripe quest]

Sure. You can post it. As long as it doesn't violate any standards, is "safe for work", etc.

[bold mesa]

Yes Its a typic Gaming Thumbnail

I Would Like to make a Thumbnail Like this but idk how the have create It any a Idea?

[ripe quest]

It appears to be an image composite, made up of various elements, e.g. background plate, character layer, logo, etc.

It seems fairly straight-forward from a Photoshop compositing standpoint.

You would have to either create or locate the pieces you would need and put them together in Photoshop.

[bold mesa]

Ah and how increess i the Strength of colors?

[ripe quest]

I think the first concern would be finding or creating the elements you're going to need to build this layout.

"Strength of colors" is something to consider after you figure what you're going to build.

Do you want to rebuild this exact thing or something similar to this using your own character, background, etc?

[bold mesa]

Similar Like Not exactly

[ripe quest]

You could begin by creating or finding the images that you want to use for the foreground (character) and the background. And roughly composite them in Photoshop... The work out whatever logo that you need.

If the "rasterize" option is not there, then its probably already pixels.

I am having difficulty selecting the background so I can make it transparent. The quick selection and magic wand tool will select both the white background and the white rope. How can I select and remove just the background without doing a polygonal lasso all the way around the rope?

[still gulch]

hey guys! if you look at the left ear on the photo (his right ear), the background is slightly over the ear, i cant seem to find how to change the shift edge of the background. someone pls help. pls n htnaks

[still gulch]

pls ping me with answers <3

[vapid flume]

It's possible that it might be impossible to do it in an automatic way as Photoshop has no way of recognising objects, (except if you're using Select>subject) since it's relatively simple shapes, I would, for the ribbon use a manaual method (painting a mask manually, or creating a path with the pen tool and turn it into a selction to then be masked)
The text can be dealt with separately with - say, the wand tool, although it may look a bit jagged, so I thinkink it won't be too much effort simply erasing them (masking them) and rewrite the text on top of the now transparent background
In short
Try select>subject, invert the selection, mask the background using the selection, you'll probably have to paint on the mask manually to refine the mask
or if that's not working: select manually the ribbon with any of the selection tools, or more realistically use the pen tool to draw a path around the ribbon and wand, once there, turn your path into a slecetion and use it to create a mask (see step above)

[vapid flume]

You can select the mask and apply a minmum filter on it (filter>other>minimum) since you got a slight fringe all around, but if you want to concern yourself with just the ear, you'll have to correct it with a brush and painting black direcly over the remaining background here. Also IMHO I would add a bit of feather (you'll find it by slecting the mask and showing your properties panel)

[vapid flume]

I guess it comes with how your brushes are displayed copered to theirs, which you can find here in the hamberger menu of the brushes panel

Mine are displayed like that, irrespective of what I might download and install. That's your choice. Although in your case, I don't see much of a difference between yours and theirs

[vapid flume]

@sterile grove It's possible that it's that option that's involved

[rancid barn]

Anyone be willing to help me with enhancing and identifying a blurred license plate through my dashcam I don’t know how to use PS and need the plate asap for insurance and police.

[vapid flume]

We could help you triy to do it yourself, but know that if you really cannot see it yourself, Photoshop will not help. The best it will be able to do is enhanced something that is already visible, but maybe a bit blurry

not the full-on blur

[white tree]

I have 5 layers in the image above and i want to select the layer on the red rectangle and use it to make the other 3 layers straight below it however when i use the focus area on it i dont get the area selected - hope that makes sence

[vapid flume]

Can you show the whole window? Particularly the layers panel...

[vapid flume]

Focus select will only work on photos with a depth of field

this is not a photo. For Photoshop, everything is in focus here... there is no blurry parts

Can you clarify exactly what you want to do with all these layers? Do you want to align them with each others?

side note: If you want to select/highliht a layer when you click on it, you need to have this option ticked in the move tool top menu

[white tree]

ive tried moving the layer below the other 3 but no luck.

Im using it to hide the white and green so i can get access to the dark red at the back

[vapid flume]

just don't use that "select in focus" option here

it will be useless is what I'm saying

it is used to select the sharp plane in an image that has a depth of field, which is not the case here

What you can do is select the pixel content of you red layer and use that selection to hide the white and green with a mask

If you click on a layer thumbnail, in the layer panel, while holding CTRL, you will select the content of this layer. I think that's the important thing....

[sand linden]

What would be the best for adobe photoshop, a windows based computer or a mac based computer for around 1000 euros

React with crown for windowsand sunshine with mac

And mabye a explantion why.

Tyyyyy

[vapid flume]

I really couldn't advise you on that, as it's really down to a matter of prefrence, my preference will be Windows based, but that's just me.
You need to compare the specs that Photoshop needs
https://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop-elements/tech-specs.html
particularly when in comes to graphic cards etc (which Photoshop tend to depend on if you use complex filters or big files)
VS your purchasing power, which I suspect will not be much if you're considering a Mac

But it also depends on whch one you are most comfortable with, compatibility with other devices you have, etc...

One thing to consider is which skils you'd want to add alongside Photoshop. If you plan to use 3D, I would strongly recommend a PC. If you plan to become a graphic designer in an agency, choosing a Mac (or be comfortable around Macs) will not harm. Altough switching from one to the other is not a big deal if you're using the agencies Macs while having a PC at home

[sand linden]

No worries!

[steady verge]

When Creative Cloud disappears from the Adobe programs will all files saved to Creative Cloud get deleted? Should we download all files from cloud that we wanna save?

[vapid flume]

They never said that the creative cloud files will disapear from your Adobe Programs. Are you referering to the Cloud sync folder?

If that so, re-read the announcement carefully

[steady verge]

Alrighty tnx!! Where do I find the announcement? I've only heard fellow classmates talking about it

[vapid flume]

https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-cloud/kb/eol-creative-cloud-synced-files.html

it's about the discountinuation of the synced files. Synced files are files that are synced in a special folder in your computer
You can access it in the CC app by clicking here (for the time being)

and it's visible on your computer here

In short, when the deadline comes in, these files will be deleted from the Cloud, but will stay on your computer. If you are not sure, better back-up the synced files from the cloud, otherwise they will always be in that folder (but no longer synced)

All the rest is unchnaged, no changes of files saved on the cloud from Photoshop, Illustrator or Fresco

[steady verge]

Thank u so much for the help, I appreciate it!

[vapid flume]

No problem! I cannot blame you, they made it very confusing 🙂

[weary condor]

whenever I try to paint, these blocky white pixels cover and follow it, and when i turn the layer on and off, they go away

im not sure how to tackle this problem

[vapid flume]

What happens if you are seeing those blocks and just save the image (or export it as a jpeg for example)

do you see those blocks in the export?

Trying to find if it's a GPU glitch/display issue or something from the brush tool

[weary condor]

for some reason its not doing it now

if it happens again, ill test that

thank you!

[unkempt cliff]

could anybody tell me how can i make image from left to right?

[weary condor]

ok so when i exported it the blocky pixels are gone

in the jpg

[vapid flume]

So you probably have an issue with the GPU
You can see if that helps
https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html

[narrow heron]

you can use the camera raw filter from smart filters

[frozen magnet]

yeah im practically making a concept example, the borders are good in that image, my image has no borders but i want to have a good border

also another question to anyone out there

does photoshop have a feature where you can see the colors in your map

i am modding something and it seems i have rouge colors that is only 1 pixel big

and i want to remove such pixels

[unkempt cliff]

thank you, but could you tell me in more detail?

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @narrow heron (current: #838 - 1)

[narrow heron]

you can increase the vibrance and the contrast by a little bit

[unkempt cliff]

thank you very much. but new image is not same as right one.
is it possible to edit the left image as right one?

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @narrow heron (current: #539 - 2)

[narrow heron]

if I understood what you want to do, just increasing the vibrance and contrast a little bit would get you the same results

[unkempt cliff]

thank you very much.

[narrow heron]

np bro

[magic crow]

Is there a way to copy and paste transparent picture from google into photoshop? When I paste it, it shows like black background.

[river otter]

Why

[river otter]

Go to preferences, click on advanced under gpu, and untick GPU composting.

[river otter]

Whats difference between minimum, maximum and contract?
I always use contract.

[vapid flume]

Contract is for selections, minimum is to work, as filters, on pixels (masks or images)

Maximum is the same with "expand"

[agile apex]

if I get a picture like this, is there anyway to easily replicate the shadow so that I could put a picture in the frame, and still have the shadow over the picture so it looks like it belongs/blends in?
https://media.discordapp.net/ephemeral-attachments/1194442153670230056/1201863774731255908/killavolt_a_blank_mockup_picture_with_a_thin_frame_in_a_horizo_adb06893-3e10-4bf9-80ce-764b2a02d5a2.png?ex=65cb5ddd&is=65b8e8dd&hm=3be0b506fd1af0e2f1a9af7cb4b4f53d603b796c310fea620446d706926995c9&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=663&height=663

[narrow heron]

what if you mask the part over it, and use blending modes to keep the shadow?

wait lemme try it

[agile apex]

I don't know how to do any of that, should've specified, I'm a total beginner and still using CS6 lol.

but I have a series of pictures like that, if it's not too hard I want to be able to put the shadows, or say the leaf of a plant next to it, over the image that I insert

[vapid flume]

What I generally do, is place the image within the frame and change the blending mode from "normal" to "multiply"

It will work 99% of the times. Unless your image is actually darker than the shadow.

[narrow heron]

is this good enough?

here's the psd file

I masked it so there's one version of the outside of the frame, and another layer with only the inside of it

so I set the blending mode of the one of the inside to Soft Light

and put my image between the 2 layers

[vapid flume]

Honestly try with "multiply", and see if you still need that extra layer

[narrow heron]

the image I used was too dark for it

the shadows barely showed

but ig that would work for a lighter pic

let me try

yeah this works really well

[vapid flume]

Yes, it's maybe the only time where it won't work. If that's the case your solution is the best. Also you can use the shadow on top but darkened (use levels or curves), you can eliminate any white either by setting the blending mode in "darken" or using blend if

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

the option is available is CS6

You might have to tweak to suit that older version

[agile apex]

there will be many images, a lot could be darker.
I'm going to have to spend some time figuring out how to do that, because I'll also have stuff like this where there's like a plant covering some of it.
It doesn't have to be perfect by means, just has to look like it does fit in and wasn't crudely pasted in.

[vapid flume]

You'll need to create a proper mask, but you'll have to do it just once. Working with smart objects and layer comps, it can actually be automated a great deal (search those terms on Youtube for tutorials)

I generally use the pen tool to create accurate masks, so they are easy to tweak if needed. Also adding a little bit of feather to vector mask make them a bit more realistic

[agile apex]

can you recommend any good videos on it, I don't pickup stuff very well sometimes,

[vapid flume]

Let me find some

Julianne Kost always have very well explained tutorials
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA_SFUcZTpg
you can check the help files a well
https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/layer-comps.html
Anything by the Photoshop Training Channel (PTC with Jesus Ramirez) is genrally very good
https://www.youtube.com/@PhotoshopTrainingChannel

[narrow heron]

Thank you for that, I didn't know blend if could do that much stuff

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume (current: #8 - 502)

[vapid flume]

You're most welcome!

[agile apex]

will this stuff stil work in CS6? I know it's ancient....

[vapid flume]

I guess you'll have to adapt
The best bet is to read the help files, or try the old tutorials from Adobe
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/photoshop-cs6-tutorials.html

here is the PDF reference

https://help.adobe.com/archive/en/photoshop/cs6/photoshop_reference.pdf

you take it, you save it, you back it up, because there is a possibility you won't find it next week 🙂

[eternal tinsel]

anyone have a wacom tablet and can do a test on levels of pen pressure?

[vapid flume]

I have an XP pen, so I'm out 🙂

[eternal tinsel]

got my new pen but i dont think pen pressure seems to be working. cause i get a slightly thinner line if i press down SUPER light but tbh im not seeing any levels of pressure

[agile apex]

ok.... im lost. The video is short, that's great.... I've made a layer comp......no idea what I'm doing now

[vapid flume]

You need to create as many layer comps as there are different posters. When you export the files you can export all your posters in one go without actually have them as layers

look at the help files for that bit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0Ch-ShfFW0&t=6s

[agile apex]

I can read help files all day, it won't help me because I don't learn things by reading.

[vapid flume]

I try to always give short tutorials because the attention span is not the best among discord users, but feel free to seek longer tutorials.

If you're up to hear me talking for 90 minutes I actually made a stream about that very subject a while ago

but I won't share if you feel it's too long

[agile apex]

like I'm really lost now because I don't understand what the layer comp is, why I need it, or how any of it applies to what I'm doing

I'm honestly kind of f****** stupid

[vapid flume]

no you're not

stop that thing immediately. Kill it in the bud

[agile apex]

I might be autistic, but we haven't figured that part out yet

[vapid flume]

We all have different approaches to learning. Personnally I don't learn with short videos because I need to understand what's behind the whole stuff. So reading is my prefered approach, there is no "good" or "bad" way to learn

Do you learn by "doing" and "repeating" what you are doing, and it stucks over time?

[agile apex]

I learn by doing yes, doesn't always need to be repetitive, but I need to understand things in the context of what I need to do with them.
I've got, or will have a bunch of these mockup pictures, but will mainly only be using a few.... but each one of the mockup images will have a ton of different "real" images placed into the frames.
I just need to make each one look like the picture on the wall is actually there physically in the room. so just things like putting the shadow over it, or the plant that's in front of the picture.

automating it would be awesome lol

but in the end I'm going to have to make other things, like mugs, shirts, etc

[river otter]

Layer comp is nothing special.
Saves what layers are visible at the time.

I would have smart object in perspective and just change it per wish and export.

[vapid flume]

The thing I was trying to explain is that.
If you have several images to put into the same frame, then the layer comps will allow a smart object to be exported automatically. Even if this smart object contains a bumch of images.
The way you do this is
1- you build your layer, you add a smart object to your whole image that will contain all the images you need to add to the frame. This smart object will be masked to only show the visible frame, so far, so normal.
2- Now you open that smart object and you will place all your images (the ones that need to go into the frames). You make sure they are all the same size so you can automate them..
3- You create a layer comp for each of the image in this embeded smart object
4- Back to the main image, in the layer comp panel, you will have a list of all the images you will be able to place in the frame (remember you have masked it ....just once), name them how you'd want them to be called at the end
5- You choose export> export layer comps as files, you will have end files (say a JPEG) saved with a different image on each one. In a folder, with a filename that suits you. You can have 1000 images, you will have 1000 jpegs at the end, automatically

the only leg work is to create a proper mask of that frame (removing the plant leaves), adding images onto the smart object (easy enough) and naming the different layer comps so the filename of the end jpeg (can be other files format) is respected

https://www.behance.net/videos/05e50e6e-616d-4edb-877d-208fda7d8ad6/Mock-Ups

you may want to skip the first 30 minutes where I talk about artboard and random stuff

[river otter]

https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/8e3097ba/batch-replace-smart-objects-automate-mockups

Also, this could be helpfull, but its paid.

[vapid flume]

My demo with this stream is to create different images showing postcards, from a mock up I created myself so it's entirely relevant for someone who uses - say - print on demand for mugs, prints, tee shirts etc

[agile apex]

ill check it out when I get a bit of time

[celest delta]

There are some lines that don’t align with the rest, what can I do to blend them? Or make it seamless

[sly hawk]

Here's some guidance...

[sly hawk]

I've automated that process, since I have done the same for 100's of mock-ups in one 'batch'

Easiest way is to use a photoshop plugin called https://www.bulkmockup.com/

(In fact, that reminds me! I think I'm still paying for this subscription! I haven't used it in months)

[shut lake]

anone now how to do such a design i need it for ma clothing...

[ripe quest]

Its difficult to even see it. What is it?

[serene coral]

Looks like a chrome blob?

[shut lake]

its like images inside and kinda liquid effect wit a slight touch of chrome effect

[gilded crane]

I opened a pdf color illustration in Photoshop and it is showing as black and brown. How can I see the true color image?

[serene coral]

Can you screenshot how it should look like? Is the pdf layered? Have you tried opening it in Illustrator?

[gilded crane]

It looks fine in InDesign and PDF. Also, not layered.

[agile apex]

if it wasn't a subscription I might jump on .... really hating the subscription model of everything now

[willow gale]

Oddly, a pdf can have two color modes in the same file. What happens if you select CMYK in the mode menu on the right of the import PDF dialog box?

[agile apex]

thanks for the video that is awesome

[fluid crane]

[gilded crane]

Same result.

[willow gale]

@gilded crane Do you have illustrator?

[gilded crane]

yes

[willow gale]

What happens when you open it in Illustrator?

[willow gale]

I have to step into a meeting so I'm going to try get ahead of this if I can: if it opens up with the expectec colors in Illustrator, save it as an .ai file and try again in Photoshop. If it doesn't, switch the color mode in File > Document Color Mode and then switch it back. Then save if as an .ai file and try again in Photoshop. 🤞🏼

Do you create any written tutorials @vapid flume ?

[astral dove]

like make it smaller from only one way

[rapid obsidian]

you can make it small by transforming it.

just take your cursor to a point. click and drag the point.

[supple pendant]

Hi, is there anyone who can install solar panels to cover the roof for free?

[vapid flume]

I could have a look but honestly, I am focused on my business right now, and while I would have no problem with expanding in other directions, I'm always wary to spend a lot of time learning something just to make for a couple of videos. Now, if someone is interested in me doing it, of course, that's another story.
PS: I am a serial learner 🙂 I don't mind learning new things (I'm well into 3D at the moment), so I will definitely have a look. Particularly if it can ease with animation/video which is someting I have always struggled with.

[last turret]

I'm a serial new product user 🥲 lol I can't help but want to find a new tool and use it. I gotta quit that, I admire your boundaries.

[sly hawk]

I'm a little confused as to why 1 seems to be a mobile screen and the others are desktop?

[vapid flume]

I definitely have boundaries around using new products. I'm a bit nerdy sometimes, and I really like knowing things inside and out. Well, inside and out is rarely possible, but I do my best 😂

[vapid flume]

I think you asked in the #💬chat-general already, so if no-one took your offer it may be because no-one is interested. Now I don't mind you posting it multiple times, but also keep in mind it's people using their time to do something for free and you're not guaranteed a response. In any case, the actual place to ask, is definitely in #💬chat-general

[vapid flume]

depends how the pattern is built, is it a simple image or is it an actual "real" repeat pattern? Because those don't act the same way. Try to hold SHIFT while you resize it, and see if it works. It's the non-proportional transformation. If it doesn't work, then that means it's something else and more info will be needed

[sly hawk]

I'm happy to try and help, but I don't actually understand what you want.

[rapid obsidian]

i was testing something. so yeah , i gotchu

[sly hawk]

I'm impressed 🙂

[foggy seal]

how do i make the line like go trough the a letter? it would look cool if it like it connected or sum or the a letter would seem like the line goes trough it

[rapid obsidian]

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sly hawk (current: #7 - 738)

[sly hawk]

Add a simple mask.

[foggy seal]

to the line or to the a letter?

[sly hawk]

leyyrt

letter

one sec

[foggy seal]

btw its a whole text not a letter just saying

idk if it makes a difference tho

[rapid obsidian]

just make a copy of line and put it above a.
Then erase half part from Bottom a , and other half from top a

[foggy seal]

its not that simple because its a picture whole picture of a road

[rapid obsidian]

cut out the yellow line.

[rapid obsidian]

draw yellow on A

[rapid obsidian]

just take brush, and draw yellow on a

you're fast with video tutorials : P

[foggy seal]

i appreciate the explanation but i think i just gotta draw it really, my point was like so it

goes trough like

only the line and it like connects

idk how to explain really but i hope you get the point ;d

[rapid obsidian]

if u mean like this, then i just drew yellow on a

[foggy seal]

something like this but the top of the a letter

is also yellow

like a line in the middle of the a letter

and it connects

[rapid obsidian]

i do not understand

[serene coral]

...just rasterize the text and erase what you want to erase

[foggy seal]

yeah something like that

[rapid obsidian]

something or exactly this?

[foggy seal]

btw thanks for this, really helpful aswell

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sly hawk (current: #7 - 739)

[foggy seal]

yeah close to that, so i gotta just take a brush?

and draw?

[rapid obsidian]

yes

or this too.

[sly hawk]

Do you mean something like this?

[rapid obsidian]

no. wait i should record too 😅

where is my obs studio

[foggy seal]

yeah both explanations are something like that ill try out both thanks anyway

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sly hawk (current: #7 - 740)

[rapid obsidian]

done

sending now.

[foggy seal]

one more question what is the easiest way to cut out a object from an picture person car things like that?

[rapid obsidian]

it depends, one is object select tool.
second erasing using magic wand tool selections.

[foggy seal]

when i press delete key here it deletes the object

not the background

[rapid obsidian]

What i most do is, if background is white. i select magic wand tool and press delete

[rapid obsidian]

in such image, where you have background like this, do not select subject (money)

select the background ( white in this case) with magic wand tool

and hit delete,

its fastest way

[foggy seal]

the wand tool

cutsout

some parts

of the money aswell

because it blends

[rapid obsidian]

change its tolerance in settings on top

[foggy seal]

but if it still cutouts some parts

is there a way to like

bring some parts back with a brush?

[ivory rampart]

reverse selection

[rapid obsidian]

yes there is,
for that we use Masks.

We can use layer mask instead of Delete. You might want to watch a tutorial on it.

[foggy seal]

oh okay ill do that

[rapid obsidian]

great good luck.

hi guys I'm kind of new to the photoshop

I want to place a different picture in this

how do I do it

I thought of coloring it and then I have another layer

but I can't fit my other image in it

[ivory rampart]

select blue color and select letters, then invert selection and mask picture you want to remove

[brazen elk]

I did color range but it didn't fully select 100 all of the red

[ivory rampart]

you can play with fuziness

[brazen elk]

now I have this red layer

and I selected it and it's empty

how can I insert an image there that will fit there perfectly

never mind I did it

thanks

can anyone mentor me?

[true sleet]

Hey all, quick question for you... Is there a way to change the labels of smart filters?
With what I'm working on, sometimes I'll have a bunch of different displace or liquify filters, and it would be great to be able to label them to see which is doing what

[true sleet]

Currently what I'm working on is making small tweaks to a face, and doing it with separate instances of liquify so that I can mix and match which are active at once to get the most possible mileage out of making different expressions. It would be great to be able to label them, haha

[astral dove]

Can anyone telle what to fix?

[ivory rampart]

do you have problem with anything specific? you can post your problem here and we will try to help

[gilded crane]

That didn't work either. This really has me stumped. It blinks full color when switching color modes.

[true sleet]

Glad you were able toget it working!

[ember solar]

[true sleet]

"tiny planet" I think?
I could be wrong, but I think I remember seeing a thing on them at one point and they called it taht

[true sleet]

Do any of you guys happen to know anything about this, though? Can you add labels to your filters, or am I hoping for the impossible here?

[ripe quest]

I doubt there is a specific name for this "design/layout"

[gilded crane]

Okay, so I changed it from 8 bit to 16 bit and then inverted. Finally, it's full color.

You can't rename the Smart Filters.

[placid forge]

Hi! I have trouble using the pen tool. I'm trying to use the pen tool to select a color, but it keeps making a blue dot.

[ripe quest]

The Pen Tool doesn't "select" colors. Its for drawing paths and shapes. The Eyedropper is for selecting/sampling colors.

[shut lake]

yo does anyone know how to add a image and make it like its smoking/fading down? like here:

[placid forge]

Sorry, I meant you could make a selection based on color using the pen tool!

[ripe quest]

The Pen Tool is for drawing paths and shapes. You could draw a shape and use it to make a selection but not for a specific color unless you're drawing around an area that contains a color.

[placid forge]

This is what he says tho

[ripe quest]

I would have to see the whole tutorial. Not some random frame.

[ivory rampart]

perspective warp and desaturate colors, as for fading you probably could use mask with some gradient

[placid forge]

He starts around at 5:20. https://youtu.be/jBCDKCpsmso?si=9HlMPVJzUhDwjH8R

[ripe quest]

It doesn't seem like they know a lot about Photoshop so these terms are probably going to be confusing to them.

[rapid obsidian]

pen tool dont do that just like d human said.
Select layer, In top panels click on Select, then Color range, and pick the color and adjust fuzziness

[shut lake]

yo does anyone know how to add a image and make it like its smoking/fading down? like here:
Bild

[rapid obsidian]

first get this chrome/metallic image and then use liquify filter on it. and smudge it there

[ripe quest]

He is not using the Pen Tool to select a color. He is just describing different way to make selections. He just happens to have the Pen Tool selected during the video.

[ripe quest]

Please stop asking the same question.

[shut lake]

smudge it? and where do i find liguify filter

[shut lake]

ight mod

mabad

[placid forge]

oh...then do you know what tool he used to select the color?

[shut lake]

thought its a askin channel

In filters panel on top.
Or hit ctrl + shift + x after selecting a layer
then select first (smudge) brush from top right, and move around

If you're trying to make an image softly fade off from opaque to transparent, you could use a Layer Mask. But I think you should get familiar with the basic tools and operations first.

[shut lake]

u maybe have a tutorial bout that?

[ripe quest]

Yes.

[shut lake]

could u send me the yt vid?

[ripe quest]

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

[ripe quest]

I would do the beginner tutotials that come with Photoshop. Main menu: Help > Hands-on tutorials... get familiar with the basic tools and operations first.

[ripe quest]

I would suggest the same thing for you. Perhaps do the Beginner Level tutorials that come with Photoshop.

More complex operations won't make much sense until you know the basics.

[placid forge]

oh I am watching a beginner level tutorial, but I'm just irked that he didn't show the tool that selected a color. It was like a five second clip.

[ripe quest]

He does not select a color. He is talking about making "selections" in the video. They are completely different things. The many ways to select sections of pixels.

[rapid obsidian]

Select layer, In top panels click on Select, then Color range, and pick the color and adjust fuzziness

[ripe quest]

Which isn't going to make much sense until you understand how to work with selections...

[placid forge]

yeah i'm following the video which is explaining about selections

[ripe quest]

Select > Color Range is about 22 minutes into Unmesh's tutorial.

Understand what selections are first.

[cosmic apex]

is there a known bug list for the latest photoshop?

[ripe quest]

There is "Known Issues." - https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/known-issues.html

There are some lines that don’t align with the rest of the image, what can I do to blend them? Or make it seamless

[cosmic apex]

cheers, appreciated! managed to solve my Open GL crashing issue by downgrading to 25.3.1

[rapid obsidian]

what dots dont align with what?

[ripe quest]

I'm not really sure what you're talking about. What doesn't align?

[ripe quest]

This image is not great quality and there are a lot of "lines" in there.

[sly hawk]

I have no idea what I'm looking at. It looks real rough? - What is it?

[rapid obsidian]

we will never know

[celest delta]

This is the whole image

[celest delta]

It’s low quality because I zoomed in

[sly hawk]

So is that the original photo?

[ripe quest]

There is a lot of ISO noise in the image.

[celest delta]

I’m gonna try to point them out better but I think I’m noticing it more bc I like worked with the image

[sly hawk]

What are you you trying to do with the image anyway?

[celest delta]

Yea it was intentional

The image was a stock image, I only further modified it

[ivory rampart]

I think he is trying to line those gazebos in paralel

[celest delta]

I used ai to generate the “tunnel” seen in the zoomed in image, and while messing with it I noticed that generated area doesn’t quite align with the part that it meets with the actual image, which is what I mean by aligning or seamless

[rapid obsidian]

anyone got what they trying to say ?

i still don't know lol.

[celest delta]

Hold on 😭

The green line is the area im talking about, if you look at the image without the green lines you will see that the area where the green line was, looks off, as the area doesn’t blend(idk the word) into the rest of the image

[rapid obsidian]

So you mean it is tilted.

[celest delta]

I guess? Yea, that’s one way to put it

[rapid obsidian]

maybe just erase that pipe/cylinder

[celest delta]

They just don’t match up and I’m unsure how to blend it so the “seams”/“lines” disappear

[rapid obsidian]

it will look fine afterwards

just erase it.

[celest delta]

It’s not just that, the whole green line doesn’t look right

Like the whole area where the green line occupies looks off

[rapid obsidian]

You said you used AI, then i think just select the part you want to get rid of

then inpaint/erase /fill with ai

OR
In photshop you can use the Spot healing tool

or the Clone stamp tool to get rid of every element you do not like

[celest delta]

I Alr tried that, just makes it worse

[rapid obsidian]

use spot healing tool

or clone stamp

[celest delta]

When you say to use the ai, is that to use without giving it the parameters of what you want in it?

[celest delta]

And what does this mean?

[rapid obsidian]

So, in short,
you want to get rid of two straight green lines in this image

thats it?

[celest delta]

Those green lines or not IN the image but I put them there to signify what I was referring to

[rapid obsidian]

;-;

[celest delta]

I said that earlier

[rapid obsidian]

maybe select the area, and cut it

then rotate it

What I am seeing is, it seems like the angle is little tilted. it is not 180 degrees. so you are trying to fix the rotation.
And make it perfectly 180.

For that I am saying to first get rid of the angled pipe, then fix others things if there is any.

[sly hawk]

If you think it looks such a mess, have you considered just regenerating the generative fill to something else?

[rapid obsidian]

[weak pulsar]

I don’t know if there’s a Lightroom discord does anyone know if you can create a new Lightroom catalog, add photos back into it and then denoise the edited JPGS? Basically I didn’t denoise the RAWs when I originally had them in Lightroom, exported them and got halfway through editing and decided I want them denoise r before delivering to clients

[rose bane]

Is there a support channel I'm dealing with an annoying bug

[young dove]

i have 3 layers im editing with, and with the first and last i want there to be no saturation

but i want the middle layer to have color

how do i do that?

hopefully you can see who im referencing, but im trying to get that person to have color while the rest of the photo stays black&white

[untold lynx]

one way would be to create a hue/saturation adjustment layer, desaturate the entire image, then click on the mask and using the brush tool, paint with black over the area you don't want to be desaturated.

[young dove]

not sure if understand, but when i paint over it with black... its just black

@untold lynx

[untold lynx]

click on the mask itself (the white square)

[young dove]

sorry im very new but which mask

[young dove]

.

[untold lynx]

ill see if i can record a video

[young dove]

I’ll appreciate that, just tryna get use to this 😂 sad thing is I know how to use after effect perfectly but this is something else😭

[untold lynx]

not sure why the menu doesnt show, but on the bottom right click on hue/saturation

[inland creek]

Anyone know where I can find a plain backdrop for headshots online? It is for a conference photographing area

[open harbor]

How can I make a sunburst but its like transparent for one of the colors instead of black

and not lowering transparancy

didnt have the same effect

[celest delta]

Yea, when I did generate it I looked at all the different things it made, but I’m new to the generative full so I’m kinda learning it. Wasn’t really sure what else I would generate tho, whatever you generated looks cool tho, the first image

[young dove]

thank you so much

[bitter arrow]

Why can't I use overlay on this layer

[ripe quest]

What's on the layer? Also, check the color mode and bit depth of your image. Image > Mode... Blend Modes won't work on a 32-bit image.

[bitter arrow]

oh yeah its 32 bit, should I change it to 16 bit or 8 bit? what's the difference?

[ripe quest]

8 is probably fine.

[ripe quest]

[ripe quest]

There have to hundreds online. Have you searched for them. Looked on stock photo sites? You could probably even use Firefly or Gen FIll to make one.

[ripe quest]

Say more. Do you have an example of whatever it is that you're trying to create?

[inland creek]

I am searching now but i didn't know if there was a specific termology. What does firefly and gen fill do, can I create a backdrop myself and order it or something?

[ripe quest]

No. You can just generate the pixels.

[ripe quest]

You could do something like this:

https://firefly.adobe.com/

Or you could generate it right in Photoshop with Generative Fill...

The only thing is I will have to have a physical stand to photograph with.

[ripe quest]

Oh. You want an actual/physical backdrop for a photography studio?

[inland creek]

yeah I resorted to this although it's a reflector

[grand stump]

you can find those at the usual online shops like bhphotovideo. com, etc. just scroll through the backdrop section. It also depends on what the size should be (only portraits, full-body, etc.) and maybe the material (vinyl, paper, Fabric, etc.). Do you also need the Background Support System.
You can find at e.g. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/browse/Background-Materials-Equipment/ci/1175/N/4037060750 all kinds of stuff. Have fun.

Thank you!

[copper depot]

Hi guys, I'd like to ask why do Photoshop often does this ya whenever I'm trying to apply some filter through masking with my brush ?

orginally it looks like this

[vapid flume]

For me it looks like a temporary glitch (happened to another user yesterday and checking GPU drivers is the first port of call)
To check if it's a display issue or a brush issue, save the file and open it again, or save as a JPEG and see if any of the saved files display this

if not, this is a display, therefore a GPU issue

If not, then it maye be worth resetting the preferences (edit>preferences>general>reset preferences on quit)

[copper depot]

Luckily, the finished image doesn't have the white blocks covering it

whenever I zoom out, the white squares dissapears, but if I try zooming back in, it comes back as well

[copper depot]

I see...

[vapid flume]

So this is defintely a GPU problem
You can follow those steps to find a solution
https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html

Resetting the preferences will likely solve nothing, so no need to go there, although it doesn't really hurt

[copper depot]

okay I'll check this one out after im done with my edits. Thanks a lot @vapid flume !

You're almost there, you're missing one minor step..... - I'll send a recording.

[rapid obsidian]

In past. when i used mixer brush tool.
it automatically used to wash the color every time I release mouse button.

I guess one of these settings is wrong, do i need to disable first one

What should I do, so that i do not need to clean it everytime by pressing m.

[vapid flume]

https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/painting-mixer-brush.html
Not sure, the help files don't mention an auto clean, so I guess it disapeared?

[rapid obsidian]

It has permanently grabbed this orange color from the photo, and after each stroke I have to tell it to pick different color. As long as I hold the mouse, it works with the colors I am mixing, then returns to its Orange color.
Even when I do not have this skin color chose, it chooses it in every project i open

It has nothing to do with versions, because same happened before upating ps.

[vapid flume]

Honestly, I'm not really a painter so I can't tell you

[rapid obsidian]

Does not look like a bug, i just messed up settings/.

its okay thanks

[vapid flume]

If you think it's a bug, you can put it to the attention of the team in the Adobe forum
That's where bugs reports need to be put forward (do a search on the forum before, in case someone had the same problem and a solution has been found)

[limber jolt]

guys, i finished my firefly trial... and i want to generate something in a pic

what do i use

[rapid obsidian]

Midjourney?There are many AI models available.

[vapid flume]

Firefly is supposed to be free so I don't know what trial means. Do you mean you are running out of generative credits?

[limber jolt]

that doesnt offer trials anymore

and i want to edit something in a pic

[limber jolt]

yes, monthly credits

[rapid obsidian]

lexica

[vapid flume]

You can still run prompts even without credits, as I understand it, except it's very long.
Let me check that

Otherwise you can buy credits!
Let me grab the explanation

[limber jolt]

oh
i dont mind if it takes long

it doesnt work

[vapid flume]

OK, my bad, if you're not on a paying plan (full CC, photoshop etc) then you will not be able to use it until next month

[limber jolt]

i see

[vapid flume]

but you will still be able to enter prompts (even if they take longer) if you're on a paid plan

Do you have a paid subscription of any sort? Like Photoshop, or the Photography plan?

[limber jolt]

nope, i guess i will look for alternatives

[vapid flume]

OK, fair enough...

[serene coral]

this is how you want it to be set

[rapid obsidian]

Finally back to normal.thanks

[brittle swift]

Im making text that has the distressing etc, I add the wording and everything, and add the "texture" layer on top to "screen" on top of it and it looks good but I wanted the whole thing transparent, so I remove the background layer and it only shows the "texture" layer

how do I make it so that this doesnt show? this is supposed to be "screen" ontop of text

[rapid obsidian]

If you mean there is a text and you are putting this texture onto it. Using screen mode. Then yes it will only show text.

[brittle swift]

yes, this is meant to be ontop of the text

i want this to be transparent but once I remove the background layer it shows the previous image

[rapid obsidian]

Yes

So you want background there also

[brittle swift]

I want this image to have a transparent background

[rapid obsidian]

Select the texture layer and hit CTRL + SHIFT + G. Then you can bring back background.

This is called clipping mask. It makes top layer cover only opaque parts of layer below

[brittle swift]

I must have done something wrong

[vapid flume]

Blending modes (like scren) only react if there's a layer behind them. If you have a single layer with a blending mode other than "normal" (and a couple of others) you will not see anything because there's is nothing the blending mode is reacting to

[rapid obsidian]

Could you provide snapshot of layers too

[vapid flume]

Would you mind showing exactly how your layers panel look? In fact it would be better if you should the whole window

It's easier to see what goes wrong

[rapid obsidian]

Delete the threshold layer if that is not intended.

[vapid flume]

where is screen applied?

[brittle swift]

the screen is applied to the 3rd layer, which is combined with the text layer

the 3rd layer is a star so I combined it with the text layer to create 1 layer

[vapid flume]

Again, more useful if you show the whole inteface, like that

You could apply the threashol adjustment to the gma spray paint (as a smart object) and change its blending mode in the smart object settings

The same way you applied the gaussian blur to the pngwin layer

That way you can control the opacity and blending mode of the threshold without it interfering with the BG layer, if that helps

You could also try to apply a colour overlay (say white) to the text layer (pngwin, I suppose) via layer styles, so it gives ground for the top blending mode to work

Just throwing ideas here

[serene coral]

the problem here is how the threshold adjustment works. by hiding the background you'll get entirely different result as you remove the base for the threshold to work properly. the 'proper' workflow would be to remove the white background from the finished design. that is pretty easy with color range masking

[serene coral]

what seems to be the problem?

[limber jolt]

hello

i was wondering how i could change his right eye colour to blue with the glowing around it

like change it to blue instead of yellow

[mental kiln]

Image > Adjustment > Color Replace, or use hue color and mask....

[limber jolt]

thats for the eye yes, but what about the glowing around it

that yellow glowing

[serene coral]

ok and what problem did you encounter?

[mental kiln]

You can see in the image, my shapes are crooked along the path

invert the mascara and paint, use low intensities

[limber jolt]

how did you do that mask layer?

i have 0 knowledge about layers and masks...

[mental kiln]

CTRL + I invert the mask color

[serene coral]

https://youtu.be/d-0aSsuFGCY

[limber jolt]

no like

how did you even create that mask with his eye only

[mental kiln]

ok, this seems to work for circles or simple shapes, more for maintaining a cut saw shape, it doesn't seem to work

[mental kiln]

bro, search YouTube for the basics about masks, I just created and painted them

[serene coral]

https://youtu.be/izOhe8w-PPE
you might have more luck with this method, it should give you more control over spacing

[mental kiln]

How did you get it aligned, can you send me the .ai?

[serene coral]

I literally created a new shape, dropped it to brushes, set as pattern brush, messed around with settings and used brush to paint it

can you send the .ai?

reapply the color of the shape

not sure where did you get this shape from but it seems somehow corrupted for Ai. I have 'changed' the color (to black) and it worked

yep there you go

[sly hawk]

I was gonna say, if you're REALLY STRUGGLING, you could maybe just warp some smart objects a bit.... 🙂

Ok, cool. Continue with the 'proper' way suggested by Wertos then 🙂 - Good luck

[limber jolt]

Hello james,

I tried hue and saturation on this but it didn't go so perfectly

How do I change the right eye colour ( alongside the glowing next to it ) to dark blue

I searched on YouTube for masking tutorials but didn't find any that tells me how to change the colour and grade it from part to part

[serene coral]

you can use a soft brush in hue or color blending mode

[vapid flume]

You should only tweak the yellows in the H/S dropdown menu

[limber jolt]

Oh
So that's what it's for
I've never tried colour blending before 😅

[vapid flume]

So you can mask the eyes roughly, apply a feather onto it so the mask is blurred and only change the Hue in the yellow part. That way you don't touch the skin colour

[limber jolt]

Will this grade the colour intensity even when i turn it to blue?

[vapid flume]

You can tweak with "colourise" or using the rainbow band at the bottom for a more targetted colour change

[vapid flume]

Just one question, what do you mean by "grade"?

Just try it for yourself, see if that works, I cannot tell really 100% as I don't have your file.

[limber jolt]

I want to change the eye colour to blue
And for the light yellow around the iris I want it to be blue

With the same degree

[sly hawk]

I know you know how to change eye colours! 🙂 - You've done it before after seeing my previous videos 🙂

[limber jolt]

I know for the eye yes

But what about the area around it

Like... There's a light yellow glow

[vapid flume]

If you set the circle in your mask wide enough, it will affect all the yellows in your image

contrained by the white in your mask

Why not try it for yourself and see if it works?

[limber jolt]

I'll try blending brush first

As i avoid masks methods as much as i could because it seems complicated

I'll also try to grade the hue and saturation

[vapid flume]

The in-app tutorials have great tips for mask, you should try them
I think you are mistaking what "grade" means 🙂

That's where you can find the in-app tutorials

[limber jolt]

Probably....
What i mean is the colour intensity

[sly hawk]

I'd try this approach to start things off....

[limber jolt]

That's way more accurate and better than what i used to do

[vapid flume]

Trust James 🙂 If he tells it works, it works!

[limber jolt]

Yeah... Every time he amazes me with new better methods

[sly hawk]

(I will mention that most of my image retouching is used for digital, very little ends up on a 20ft wide billboard) - so I can afford be a little 'slap-dash' with my fixes!)

[limber jolt]

They're still soo good

Thank you both!

[vapid flume]

Honestly, try those tutorials in the help files I told you about. Best way to learn

[limber jolt]

Yeah, sure will do

In some cases it works to use the Photopea.com website, but it seems that your file has been damaged too much, it is almost impossible to recover now

[mental kiln]

search on YT, basic 3d text extrusion, illustrator

[oak osprey]

the photopea.com site, is there at least a trial for it or do i have to pay to access entirely?

[mental kiln]

just access it, but as I said, your file seems very corrupted, it will be difficult to recover it

[mental kiln]

or you can use ready-made templates, they are smart objects that are very easy to use

[subtle pine]

yeah thanks, i found out how to make it

Can you explain...
4- Back to the main image, in the layer comp panel, you will have a list of all the images you will be able to place in the frame (remember you have masked it ....just once), name them how you'd want them to be called at the end
5- You choose export> export layer comps as files, you will have end files (say a JPEG) saved with a different image on each one. In a folder, with a filename that suits you. You can have 1000 images, you will have 1000 jpegs at the end, automatically

In my case this does not work.
Layer comps panel of main project is empty and greyed out export layer comps.

Why does camera raw looks different when applied separate on layers?
Is it normal behaviour?

I guess it is, as it is looking for dark and white plaaces in new image (layer).

[dawn basin]

How do i export this image just the way it is?

Every single time I try to export it, it's just the original unedited image. I wanna keep this one that I edited

Do i have to do something before selecting export?

This is the image that is exported

[tiny thorn]

ello guys is there any option for removing(not changing) specific pixel colour. I have little black dots on my logo's corners and i want to select all of them and delete them ?

[ivory rampart]

https://www.photoshopbuzz.com/how-to-replace-color/

[mental kiln]

Have you tried saving in PNG? lol

The Windows viewer will fill in the transparency, but it will still be there to use when you need it!

[oak osprey]

someone recommended wondershare repairit. im worried bc the corrupted file is at about 800mb right now. is that normal? or should is still be the file size it originally was even corrupted with a chance to get back?

or is that a normal file size?

[mental kiln]

again, it is almost impossible for you to recover this file, it rasterized all the layers, see you only have a black screen, it will be impossible

Regardless of size, it doesn't mean anything

[oak osprey]

though i just checked the older file that still works its about 680mb. was expecting the file to be heavier. then again he usually deals 3d and this one is graphic

almost impossible isnt yet impossible aha

[mental kiln]

Image > Adjudment > Color Replace, however the best option is to remove it manually

[oak osprey]

this is literally a save or break relationship (and vital work project) for me

lolol

[mental kiln]

upload the file without changes to wetransfer I'll see if I can help you

[oak osprey]

ok

[dawn basin]

I did that 7 times

Saving it as png should produce this as an image right?

[mental kiln]

yep, export PNG

[dawn basin]

Because this pops out

Which is not the same image

[mental kiln]

Did you pay attention to what I said here?

import it into the PS you will see that the transparency is still there

[oak osprey]

this will take a bit to upload as I'm stuck on 2.4 wifi but i'll send a link here

Hi there! Pinging @grand stump @sly hawk @bold cloak and @plush stirrup just because you folks are the mods online!

I'm a Curator at an inclusive platform for digital artists called HUG who is hosting an Open Call for AI Artists to get a chance to be paid and fly to speak at an event with L'Oreal and am wondering if there is a place on this server to share the opportunity! (The gig is for 3 AI Artists to fly to LA all expenses paid and get a chance to share their practice and talk about AI to a room of beauty industry professionals!)

Wondering if you folks have a place where I can share about this opportunity! I read through the rules and want to be respectful of any guidelines there are, so wanted to check in with a mod before I post anywhere without approval.

Hoping to put this opportunity in front of more AI Artists 😄

[rough idol]

I have two images with the same dimensions, i've resized one smaller, and I want the other to be the same size. How do I resize the bigger one so that it snaps in place to match the smaller one?

[ripe quest]

Are they the same aspect ratio?

If so, you should just be able to resize it with Image > Image Size and give it the same dimensions.

[rough idol]

yeaa

thanks is that the only way to do it?

or can i turn on some snap to place thingy

[ripe quest]

If they are both layers in the same document, you can transform it and type in the values. If they are separate files, you could also drag and drop the image into the resized doc. Then depending on your import prefs, it might already just resize to the canvas.

[rough idol]

ahh okay

thank you!

[ripe quest]

Edit > Preferences > General... Resize Image During Place

[rough idol]

that's already turned on

[ripe quest]

So then if you drag the larger doc into the smaller one, it should automatically resize to fit the canvas. Assuming they are the same aspect ratio, it should fit perfectly.

[rough idol]

oh i think we're misunderstanding each other. I mean when I have two images on the canvas already and am trying to resize it even smaller, I want it to be easy to resize both to the exact same size

which yea i can just type it in instead

[ripe quest]

If you know the values, its easier to just enter the dimensions. I wouldn't trust "eyeballing it" (even using Guides and Snap To).

[rough idol]

yeaa i understand. I tried the image > image size but its right in front of my face in the transform properties section lol

[ripe quest]

Its easy to get the dimensions of the pixels on a layer by Ctrl clicking on the layer thumbnail to select all of the pixels and then look at the Info Panel.

(If you don't already know the pixel dimensions, that is.)

how to create a custom cursive colorful lines like this?

here's the file. sorry took an hour

i tried to do a few sites and it wass very naive of me to think a trial and actually getting the file would be possible aha. i have like 30 bucks to my name right now and can't buy a subscription to repair a file

[mental kiln]

no chance, these sites/software only recover a few sessions, your file is very corrupt, it corrupted the base

Unfortunately, it has happened to me several times, and I had to redo everything, until I learned how to save duplicate files

when the power goes out, and the PC turns off with PS open, sometimes the file corrupts

But in your case, you can start redoing it because you won't be able to recover it.
