[stone mural]

hi everyone

could someone help me?

[warm grove]

now u wanna tell me, what u wanna do 😅

[warm grove]

sure

[stone mural]

can you photoshop?

[warm grove]

yeap

[stone mural]

alr so what i need is like a body with 20 organs and i have to switch them to 10 fruits and 10 vegetables

but idk how

and i got like 10 hours left

so could you help me? @warm grove

[warm grove]

explain more 😂 😂

[stone mural]

ok so example

heart is strawberry

lung maybe a pear

like that

[ivory rampart]

mask out fruits, use transform tool to move/scale

[stone mural]

i dont know how to do any of that tho 💀

i dont even have adobe to photoshop]

[ivory rampart]

you can use gimp

[stone mural]

i was looking for free websites

is it free?

[ivory rampart]

yes

but it's not as powerful as PS

but still you can mask fruits

and transform

[stone mural]

which one

[ivory rampart]

directly

[stone mural]

but you can help me right like guid me through it?

[ivory rampart]

I haven't use gimp for a while

[ripe quest]

We're here to discuss Photoshop. If you have questions about Gimp, you should join their Discord.

[stone mural]

k

[ivory rampart]

that's a really tight deadline

[stone mural]

ye ik

im prob gonan fail 😦

ive join like 5 servers today asking for help

[tulip chasm]

does anyone know how i can make a image look like this with the colorful pixels

[pale tide]

you can download trial photoshop or photoshop light

[ripe quest]

If you're asking for someone to create something for you, please read the following: https://discord.com/channels/547473772727238676/1042833042378592329

[ivory rampart]

even if he will use trial version of PS it will take at least few hours to learn how to basics

[stone mural]

ok i will

[ripe quest]

Otherwise, this channel is for questions about creating with Photoshop.

[ripe quest]

Not sure what you mean, "with the colorful pixels" - What is it that you're trying to do?

[tulip chasm]

you see how is chain is like distored or like colorful

and it carries with the whole image other then hsi body

i want to recreat it for someone

[ripe quest]

Yeah. We would call that a "poor quality image." :)

It looks like a tiny image that has been rescaled / upsampled and it has gotten blurry.

[tulip chasm]

so i would just need to make it into a tiny image and just rescale it

cause it looks bad but good yk

[ripe quest]

I suppose that's one way to handle it. Create it really small and then drastically upscale it so that the interpolation causes it to look blurry/pixelated.

[tulip chasm]

how would i do that in photshop?

if yk

[ivory rampart]

isn't there a filter to pixelate images, maybe that worth giving a shot

[tulip chasm]

ya

it doesnt really work though

[ripe quest]

This just looks like some old poor quality, heavily compresseed JPEG that has been upsampled.

[ivory rampart]

so throw it few times on websites with memes and it will get worse 😏

[tulip chasm]

lol word thank you

any suggestions >

?

[ivory rampart]

you could try to export as jpeg with lowest quality, few times

[ripe quest]

Do you have an image that you're working with?

[tulip chasm]

ya

[ivory rampart]

usually it's the other way peoples try to get as much information from old pics

[tulip chasm]

nah im just tryna make a pic look like that

[ripe quest]

Image > Image Size... Reduce the size by a lot. 300% maybe. Then File > Export > Save for Web... Turn the quality way down. Save it. Then open it back up and Image > Image Size and scale it back up to the original size.

See what that creates. heh

[tulip chasm]

okay word

one more question thank u

[stone mural]

guys nobody can help me 😭

[tulip chasm]

howe i reduce the size lol

[ripe quest]

You've posted your question in chat. You'll just have to wait to see if someone is interested in working on it.

[ivory rampart]

change to pixels and just type new size

you can use math like 300/3

[ripe quest]

Change from inches to pixels. Then you can divide in the input field.

[stone mural]

ok

[ripe quest]

You probably shouldn't count on anyone doing this for you. You should probably find another way to get it done.

[tulip chasm]

you lost me at the end ngl

i some what understand my bad lol

[ripe quest]

The fields say "inches" .... change them to "pixels"

[tulip chasm]

i did

[ripe quest]

Then in the width field, you have 4032... you could type /3 and hit the tab key and it will do the math (division) for you.

[tulip chasm]

oh damn word thank u

[ripe quest]

Hit OK. Now it should be much smaller.

[tulip chasm]

nvm i got it

thank u

[ripe quest]

I think you should do some basic tutorials and learn how to use the basic tools and techniques. You're going to find this to be difficult if can't make simple edits on your own.

[tulip chasm]

ya nah ik im not really the best at photoshop but ik like basic things for the most part but thanks

[ripe quest]

Also, there is no guarantee that any of this is going to work out the way you want. A lot of this generally requires experimentation to get to a desired result.

[tulip chasm]

ya ik but it still helped me to learn something new

[ripe quest]

@crisp saffron - Use the Remove Tool...

Or since you deleted your question, I guess you figured it out or changed your mind. lol

[light stream]

does someone why my option to safe a file as pdf just disapeared?

[ripe quest]

The file size is probably too large.

When files get too large, Photoshop will present you with the option to save in PSB format.

TL;DR PSB (Photoshop Big) is the Adobe Photoshop Large Document Format. It's used for images that are too large to be saved as regular Photoshop document (.PSD) files. PSB files are nearly identical to PSD files, but they can be much larger. PSB files can support documents up to 300,000 pixels in either dimension and file sizes up to 4 exabytes. The PSD file format has a maximum height and width of 30,000 pixels and a file size limit of 2GB.

32000 x 32000 @ 6000 ppi, I would say that 6000 ppi might be a bit... excessive. heh

[light stream]

oh damn

didnt see that

[odd geyser]

how to fast select 1 color on picture and delete it?

[ripe quest]

Select > Color Range... Apply Layer Mask. Adjust Layer Mask.

[gray pebble]

Hi, how can I rotate this and not make it get pixelated or blurry?

[ripe quest]

Redraw the boxes with vector shapes. Delete the old image. Then rotate the new sharp vector objects.

The Rectangle Tool...

Choose Shape mode. Use the same color for the Fill as the original shapes...

[gray pebble]

still get the fuzzy edges when I rotate it

[ripe quest]

How small is the image? There might not be enough pixels to represent the angle.

[gray pebble]

1024*1024 72 ppi

it is for a ets2 skin but no sure if I scale up the image if that will end up wierd in the game

[ripe quest]

Did you draw the rectangles in "Shape" mode or "Pixels"? Are you viewing this at 100%? Because if you're zoomed in, of course, you're going to see the 'stair-step pixel edges'. View it at 100%

[gray pebble]

I am at 100% and did the same as you shown in the pictures above yes

[ripe quest]

Then I don't know what to tell you because the edges of my objects are not "fuzzy" at 100% zoom.

You're in RGB Mode or Indexed Color?

[gray pebble]

rgb

[ripe quest]

Also, I have no idea what an "ets2" skin is or what the requirements are for whatever that is. Sorry.

[gray pebble]

Ets2 is Euro truck simulator 2

I tried to scale it up to 4k and works fine now., thx for helping anyways!

[sly hawk]

Yeah, looks like someone used Cabazon and then messed with the *tittle * to make it a triangle.

[elfin furnace]

Hi, can I ask a followup to this? Is there a way to shift a grayscale image values downwards by a certain offset? Specifically, if sea level rises then the mountains aren't as high above sea level as they used to be so they need to get darker.

In other words when I just mask with a threshold, then I have mountains that fall sharply off into sea when I want them to be turning into islandss if that makes sense

[sly hawk]

It feels like you'd be better off trying to find out if there is a way to render/generate the mountains in something like Blender. - Then you could literally draw in a literal 'sea level' and raise on lower it accordingly.

[elfin furnace]

Basically the operation I am trying to achieve is shift every grayscale pixel down by a certain value and every pixel who was already below that value should disappear. I know how to achieve the second with the layer mask, but the ones who remain keep their values.

I am a photoshop noob so there might be an obvious way to shift pixels like that, brightness doesnt seem to do exactly that

[sly hawk]

What do you consider 'greyscale'? Literally every pixel between BLACK AND WHITE?

(So all of them?)

[elfin furnace]

Yes all of them, I am working with 16bit grayscale images

so every pixel is a 16bit unsigned integer the way i understand

I want to deduct a specific value from all those numbers

[sly hawk]

You'll have to excuse me for asking, but can't you do this by just changing the Threshold layer once at a time?

[formal seal]

can I ask a question about a bug?

[sly hawk]

Have you updated photoshop first?

[sly hawk]

Could you get the effect you're after by putting a white background in, and then slowly changing the 'greyscale' opacity?

[elfin furnace]

huh

you are right

[sly hawk]

from 100% down to 0%?

[elfin furnace]

opacity is the answer

let me try

[elfin furnace]

i am confused how is brightness different from opacity

like maathematically

i can tell it's different but I dont get why it is

[formal seal]

its more of the login process

like I cant get the organisational login

[little warren]

anyone got the adobe illustrator server link?

[sly hawk]

(check the bottom) - or simply google it

[formal seal]

⬆️

[sly hawk]

What? Like this?

[formal seal]

yeah

I cant get there

[sly hawk]

That happens after you've put in your username and password.

It asks you only AFTER it knows who you are

[formal seal]

I did however make a personal account with my uni email

[sly hawk]

Yes, login with it. It will likely ask you then. - If you even have an 'organisational account'. If it doesn't ask, I'm going to assume you don't have a team/organisational account.

[formal seal]

I dont have uni account if thats what u mean

[formal seal]

it doesnt, thats the thing (I deleted the personal account btw)

[sly hawk]

Maybe have a quick scan over this perhaps?
https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/using/manage-adobe-profiles.linkfree.html

[elfin furnace]

hmm opacity wasn't quite the operation i was looking for,

I wanted: A to become A-X and B to become B-X, for two unsigned integer pixel values A and B

Opacity does (for 50% for example): A into A/2 and B into B/2

Opacity is like dividing everything by a number instead of deducting a number from everything

[sly hawk]

Ok. That makes sense.

[formal seal]

ty, will read this

[sly hawk]

This any good?

It kinda 'swallows up' white pixels and then the further your slide, the darker and darker it will consume

[formal seal]

so typically what should happen is when I type my uni email it will redirect to my organisational login page

[sly hawk]

This here explains now why that slider runs from 0-255.

[sly hawk]

I don't know too much about it, but yeah - that logic makes sense.

no wait.

[formal seal]

prob something on their end (the uni I mean)

[sly hawk]

https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/enterprise/kb/enterprise-id-faq.html

Another random link

[formal seal]

this doesnt happen

[sly hawk]

Maybe scroll to the bottom and check the FAQ's, or speak to your uni about it. - Sorry I can't be any more help

[formal seal]

all good, its prob on the uni side

@sly hawk

yeah?

[pulsar ferry]

hey guys i have an assignment for my image processing class, i’ve created a movie about a drunk santa claus and the movie is starring the real santa claus. here is the dvd cover i made! i’m not allowed to use any composite images , and i have to create merchandise for this project , and i really only started using photoshop at the end of January . due to circumstances in my household i got an extension and i’m still trying to wrap my head around the tools and how to use them. i’m really not happy with the way my work looks so far and i was wondering if you guys have any advice on what i could improve on? for example i got stressed and burned the little boys face! 😦

[formal seal]

this looks cursed and something I'd watch at the same time

[elfin furnace]

Playing around with the blending options, it seems substract does exactly what I was describing

[sly hawk]

What do you mean by "i’m not allowed to use any composite images"?

[formal seal]

@pulsar ferry

[pulsar ferry]

i’m gonna to proudly take this as a compliment

[pulsar ferry]

for example i had to add the clouds in the background, and the sky separate. Everything is separate, even the wreath in the second preview on the back of the cover is separate from the image.

[sly hawk]

So you mean everything has to built separately. - Which ironically is what composite means. - but yeah, cool. I get what you mean.
To be fair, I'm really impressed what you've done.

I tried something using AI....

Your DVD cover legitimately looks like something I'd have seen in blockbusters back in the 90's. - Which means I guess you're on the right track!

[pulsar ferry]

this is actually amazing 😂😂thank you for the feedback, i haven’t gotten any so far, i’m a little stressed on time but i think i’m happy with my dvd cover, i also have a movie poster made, but i’m struggling a lot with implementing graphics onto a t shirt, i know about displacement but it really doesn’t seem to be working out for me. 😦 and the warp tool is my mortal enemy, lol

[elfin furnace]

is there a tutorial to understand what blending does? substract isnt working the way I expected it and I need heelp understanding some basic stuff.

thats a white and black box on layer 2 and a gray box (70%) on layer 1

i am confused on what is being blended when I click the small fx button for layer 2

[gray pebble]

Hi.
is there a way to make like a center so when the red pice is placed where I want it the black pice will snapp to that place when draged ower it, on its own side as a mirror kinda?

[elfin furnace]

oh i figured it out, blending options on a layers affects how that layer blends into the rest of the painting

also blending modes have a lot of weird math behind them it seems

[jade slate]

Seems like a silly question but what's the best way to blend the bottom black border into the BG color? Seems like the blur feature even at highest hardness doesn't work

[limber stream]

how do you give some parts of a image less opacity than other parts

[tacit inlet]

anyone know how to have 2 separate layer styles so when i move the angle of one drop shadow it dont effect both layers and just the one?

never mind figured it out was (Global Light)

[sly hawk]

Apply a 'gradient' to it.

[sly hawk]

The imagd will need to be split into multiple layers. - so draw a selection box around it, then cut and paste it back in. - then change the opacity of the new layer bits

[river otter]

is there any guides to make this skeuomorphism style interface in adobe? I'm curious about how this was made

[thick tangle]

what does this mean?

[nocturne cairn]

What version of Photoshop do you have?

[thick tangle]

2022

[nocturne cairn]

If you choose OK, does it open fine?

[thick tangle]

yeah

no but like it shows everytime i save my document

[nocturne cairn]

Does your Layers panel look OK? Are all of your layers and groups as they should be?

[nocturne cairn]

If you click on the “Don’t show again” checkbox in the lower left corner hopefully you shouldn’t see it again

[thick tangle]

well except one cos when i was 'cleaning up' my layers because i had a mess there i named one group ... and idk it disappeard and after that everytime i save this happens

[nocturne cairn]

Does it only happen with this one file or every file?

[thick tangle]

only this document

[nocturne cairn]

That's good. Weird. But good.

[thick tangle]

yeah i mean its not that important because in that group was nothing too necessary

but i just dont know why it disapperad when i named it ...

[nocturne cairn]

As a double check you could do a Save As to create a new file. Or copy all of the layers to a new file and save that.

[nocturne cairn]

Sorry what disappeared when you named what?

[thick tangle]

my group

[nocturne cairn]

OK

[thick tangle]

after i named it ... (like actually three dots)

[nocturne cairn]

Does your name have any weird characters in it?

[thick tangle]

? what do u mean... like where

[nocturne cairn]

Like is your layer/group name something like "*&^%^%$^&#%$#%" instead of something like "some simple text"?

[thick tangle]

every group that i named had 'normal name' except one cos i didnt know how to name it so i named it ... (i named it three dots like ...) and after that it just despawned and every time i try to save this pops up but it saves normally after i click OK

[nocturne cairn]

And if you change the name from "..."?

[thick tangle]

i cant

i dont see that group

its not there

[nocturne cairn]

Oh wow! You sure you didn't accidentally move or delete it?

[thick tangle]

98% im sure

[nocturne cairn]

So 2% not sure? 😉

[thick tangle]

😅

[nocturne cairn]

I'm signing off buddy. Have yourself a great day 🙂

[thick tangle]

but anyways if i'd deleted it why it would be poping up this attention thing

[thick tangle]

why? 🥲

yeah u too

[thick tangle]

.

anyone else here to help me figure this out? 😁 😅

[serene coral]

You can safely ignore it and check 'don't show again' unless you are going to open this file in a version of Ps that is over 10 years old

[thick tangle]

okay

but where did my group gone then? 😅

[warm badge]

Could someone help me with a prob with after effects?

[ivory rampart]

I think Adobe Video is better place to ask - https://discord.gg/adobepremiere

[sly lark]

isnt there a way i can change the checkered background on a png from white to black?

[pulsar ferry]

does anyone know what this guy means in this particular section of the video? for context i’m trying to create a promotional phone case for my fictional movie, and i think im trying to make this camera layer completely invisible. i’m confused he says i should press backspace or delete and it never works for me

[sly lark]

like only in photoshop

[limber stream]

can anyone tell me how the pictures fade into eachother so smoothly?

[ivory rampart]

top layer has low opcity and it's been placed moved with transform tool

[serene coral]

like this? interface-level?

[serene coral]

they are changing the layer mask of 'Design' layer by ctrl-clicking on other layers' thumbnails to select their pixels. Then, with the mask still selected, they are deleting those pixels from the mask

[native portal]

Is this a good laptop spec wise for creative cloud. (Its $800)

[river otter]

for some reason my photoshop only lets me undo a certain amount of times before not undoing any more

[native portal]

Photoshop only lets you undo up to 50 times.

[river otter]

is there a way to increase it ?

[native portal]

Yes, by default its set to 50 undos for performance optimization. It can be changed by going to your preferences (Ctrl + K / Cmd + K) then go to the Performance tab and change the History States value to up to 1000 (this refers to the maximum amount of allowed undos. More may cause a fluctuation in performance, dependent on your computers specs.

[serene coral]

yes, looks pretty solid. in general, any recent hardware will run Photoshop just fine, just make sure you're not running low on disk space and you have at least 16GB of ram

[native portal]

it has 32gb ddr5 ill prob buy it

i think it should run good

[serene coral]

each history step is kept in cache so setting it to more than 100 is risky if you work on larger files (speaking from experience)

[pulsar ferry]

does anybody know the exact effect to make this bus stop advert glow?i understand what they did with the lens flare but i still don’t know how they make the advert glow, make the floor have a light reflection and how the made the back of the bus stop glow.

this is the best quality i could get :/

[dry swallow]

can anyone help with change any color with color code with hue saturation

[serene coral]

what do you mean by color code? do you want to use hue/sat adjustment to change some color to a specific hex value? can you show the image you want to change?

[dry swallow]

yes.

want to change the blue color to the pink color in the top right.

[dry swallow]

with the hue sat adjustments with the excat color code as the pink.

[dry swallow]

how do i select the color and change it

[serene coral]

use the eyedropper

[dry swallow]

which one

theres three

got it thank you

[tall sky]

hello photoshopists!!
does anyone know why this happens or how i can fix it
i want to keep the pixels when I export it
or is this because of my image viewer

[tall sky]

another example

[serene coral]

You're previewing at 2120% so image viewer antialiases the preview

[serene coral]

What is the purpose of these images?

[tall sky]

art

[serene coral]

With the current state of how web and social media work, your art is going to be viewed at 100% zoom or less

[tall sky]

no i am going to print it

large

[ripe quest]

This looks like a heavily compressed JPEG...

[serene coral]

They are at 600% zoom here :p

[ripe quest]

That's part of it...

[tall sky]

does the image viewer compress my png?

[serene coral]

Are you designing in a printable resolution? Or are those pixel arts and you want to upscale them?

[tall sky]

i just want people to see that they are pixels and not blury blobs

[ripe quest]

The source file is 8000 pixels and you've exported it out to what size?

Not 8000 pixels x 6000 pixels. Looks like its reduced. Then you're zooming in 600%. heh

[tall sky]

it looks like the same size as my ps document

[serene coral]

You're at 72 pixels per inch of a print

[tall sky]

is that bad?

[serene coral]

That's one of the standards. But imagine you print your design and a single pixel of your design takes 1/72 of an inch when printed. Is that what you want?

[tall sky]

sorry i dont understand

[serene coral]

do you have a printer? press ctrl+P, make sure the scale is set to 100% and look at the preview

go ahead and print what you see (at 100%). This is the file you're working on right now

[somber stag]

I have typography and or reproduction question: is it a font or an effect on Adobe PS for the bottom text?

[serene coral]

that's a gradient overlay layer style

Hi.
is there a way to make like a center so when the red pice is placed where I want it the black pice will snapp to that place when draged ower it, on its own side as a mirror kinda?

Thanks. Also is the rough edge part of the font or an effect?

[fluid crane]

Hi guys I have an exercise to do which is to remove people from a particular image but when I do it it's not qualitative if anyone could help me I would be grateful. Thanks in advance

[river otter]

tbh I use the marque tool to crop images

Can you post the image and guidelines so we can offer you suggestions?

[oblique dagger]

Yeah thanks Michael

I have to remove the two girls while keeping the boy. But the brunette's shadow hides the boy and I know that this will be detrimental to the final score. The fact that the boy is dark-skinned is done on purpose. I'm French so I hope I'll be clear enough

Look at my first work

I wanted to use color contrast but it looks like a cartoon

and as I'm just starting out I don't understand all the subtleties

If you have a current version of Photoshop, you can try to use Generative Fill / Generative Expand...

[inner stone]

i tried but it just make some random weird background that had nothing to do with it

and put random text and stuff

[sand plank]

this has got me going crazy. My brushes never did this before. for some reason, it does not remember the size i change it to, and keeps reverting back to size 22. the shape dynamic gets reverted when ever i switch brushes too, same with opacity.

It normally would stay to what ever setting i changed it to without having to make a new brush. if i changed hard round to size 4 and added shape dynamic pressure, it would stay that way when i went to a different brush and come back. Can anyone help?

the only way i can change it is by making a whole new brush

[compact berry]

hi

can someone tell me how to make gifs in photoshop

[serene coral]

so you have 2 brushes. Hard round does not have size specified. Edge brush has a preset size of 22. Blue brush outline means you are using the settings the preset was saved in. Orange outline means the preset has been applied and modified

You can make this pattern seamless with offset filter and clone tool, bit old school way of making game textures

Or if you have substance sampler you can do this within few clicks

[amber thicket]

Any tips on how to remove the white under the colours so that the colours are more transparent rather than looking like colours over a white bsckground?

[ivory rampart]

I don’t think you can remove white from under colours

Probably you would have to redo this with gradients set to to transparent

[serene coral]

color range masking or blend-ifs. or if you want to use it as an overlay on another image, use blending modes

I have banners from which there is light and reflection in the sea. Now I have changed the content of the banner and its color.

[amber thicket]

Is this color range masking or blend-ifs?

[serene coral]

color range mask - you can see the layer mask next to the layer's thumbnail

[serene coral]

was this made with Generative Fill? you could try selecting the reflection and regenerating it while being specific about the color you want to get and selection

[amber thicket]

Thanks mate

No, the image was taken in midjourney. I've already tried using generative fill, but it only makes things worse

[serene coral]

just to make sure - we're talking about the water reflection of the screen at the top in the middle, right? blue and pink?

[next ferry]

want a second opinion on colours in this image. any recs?

[serene coral]

#📝project-feedback

[serene coral]

like this?

[hollow basin]

Well, rather yes than no

[serene coral]

I have removed the existing reflection with Generative Fill (empty prompt) and added the reflection using 'classic' methods. I copied the screens visible at the top, mirrored and placed at the bottom, where the reflection should be. Then I blurred them a bit, changed the blending mode to linar light (or you can use screen) and used blend if to hide the layer where the background layer (water) is dark. Then I adjusted it a bit with curves and hue/sat

[hollow basin]

Of course it sounds difficult to me, but I'll try. Thank you.

[pulsar ferry]

does anyone have any ideas on how to add a gradient to this using the elliptical marquee tool? i need to use this tool for my assignment

[serene coral]

the elliptical marquee tool is used when you want to make elliptical selection. You can't directly add gradients or any pixels only with this tool

[pulsar ferry]

sorry, my mistake! i meant the rectangular marquee tool

my tutor has a video up where he uses this tool to blend a woman to a background, and i am lost on how to do it in my image, because i used the distort and perspective transform tools and the gradient doesn’t look right

[serene coral]

still, this is only a selection tool. Or is it that your process has to include it? can you link the video you're talking about?

[pulsar ferry]

this is the effect he got

sure i’ll send the link 🙂

this is what i keep ending up with

[serene coral]

you have a selection active while the tutorial doesn't use any? they create a radial gradient

First, you'd paint the mask to start the composite. You can adjust the colors, brightness, contrast later.

no problem

[river otter]

Really weird question, but does anyone know why the right side looks brighter than the left side? The files are untouched and I haven't added anything to them, but for whatever reason anything that goes to the right side suddenly looks more bright no matter the position, size or rotation

[mental kiln]

bro, it looks normal

[river otter]

Are you sure? I've checked on both monitors, on my cellphone, even asked a friend which he noticed the difference as well

Here, maybe you'll notice the brightness difference in this zoomed screenshot

[mental kiln]

Ah yes now, I only the background, but it must be something you did...

[thick tangle]

then i guess just make that one side a little bit darker 😅 🤷

[river otter]

Like, I really haven't done nothing but add images, resize them and place them together, I don't know if my .psd files are permanently screwed up at this point

[river otter]

I was thinking about that.. Got any suggestions?

[mental kiln]

Without seeing the project and the layers it is difficult to give you a solution

[thick tangle]

well u can only select that 'background' and make it a little bit darker with Curves/Levels

or the opposite make that one lighter ... what will be easier

or maybe u can use Match coclor in Photoshop but not sure if that will will do it...

[river otter]

Guys, I believe I have found the problem

I think.. It's an optical illusion

🤯

The design pattern is in a way where there's a subtle gradient. Where the left end meets the right is where the darkest and brightest parts of the gradient meet

[mental kiln]

Why don't you just duplicate one of the gradients?

[river otter]

I mean, these cards are already images, not layers upon layers

[mental kiln]

ok, but photoshop gives you all the freedom to cut and copy....

[river otter]

Ah, right

Let me try that out

(I didn't knew what you mean at first)

[thick tangle]

nah

i figured it out

i understand now

if u look ate 'the left side' it goes from a slightly lighter to darker and at the right side its literlly the same thing

but theres this darker bottom right next to the lighter top

thats why it look like that

[river otter]

Yeah, an optical illusion

I can't describe how confusing this is to process, on my mind at very least

[mental kiln]

Yep, for me it's simple, I remove the saturation of the layer, add a solid background color and use the texture as an overlay mode, if any side is darker I would correct it using levels

Now if you don't understand anything, it's better to take a basic course on YouTube

[river otter]

No, yeah, it's clear as crystal

But I'll take a bit of a break for now, I may let you know how the thing turns out

I really appreciate your help, you two

[thick tangle]

just a really quick example

it shouldnt look as confusing like that one

What are they for anyway? I'd have assumed they were due to be printed, but there's no tickmarks or bleed, then I thought you were making them for TTS, but you're not in the TTS server either 🙂

[river otter]

Also, good observation! I'm currently gonna print this game for myself, making a smaller version

Gradient doesn't look as strong here.

definitively an eye thing

[sly hawk]

Well TTS probably has some slightly yellow lighting on it.,

[river otter]

The images themselves are alright, for the most part

You can check them individually, too

Also I think you can change the lighting in a TTS session as well

The whole game looks like it doesn't need translation anyway?

Only saw this one counter?

[spare pier]

this

it dissapeared

[ripe quest]

Sounds like some sort of realtime rendering issue. Check, main menu: Help > GPU Compatibility... any errors or issues reported there?

[candid python]

this is what pops up,

[ripe quest]

That's how you turn it back on. Clicking the menu item toggles it on/off. If its toggled on, maybe its on a second screen. Do you have two displays? Otherwise, save your work and restart Photoshop. Try that.

[spare pier]

i haven t two screens

[ripe quest]

Says right there. "Update drivers." The driver is out of date. Try updating your GPU drivers. Reboot. And then try again.

[ripe quest]

Then read the rest of what I said... Perhaps its a glitch. Restart Photoshop.

[spare pier]

it appeared again

It was automatically disabled

Idk why IT was automatically disabled

[ripe quest]

I don't know either. Its either on or off based on the setting in that menu.

[spare pier]

At the moment iT was a option set a normal layer

Probably that s why

[ripe quest]

That menu bar is "contextual" meaning that it will change based what tool is selected or if an area of the canvas is selected, etc.

[candid python]

I keep getting told that I already have the best drivers installed

[spare pier]

How do you make the font 3D in a sense

[dire sable]

Hi, the "Import image" will pop up on the contextual toolbar then you open a new blank color Background document and then new document have focus. and disappears then the new document is out of focus or that you add something on the blank document like a new layer.
if you choose transparent background as new document will you not see "Import Image" because it's not a "background" in layer panel.
With other words as soon you do something on the document you will see the normal contextual toolbar. So what I know that how that's toolbar work.
You canvas be empty for you shall see "Import Image" in the contextual toolbar. Hope this answer why Import Image disappear.

I would imagine they are using guides? I mean that's how I would do that. However this is likely done in After effects.

Yeah I was thinking the same, they're probably using the guides, we can add guides in after effects, so no big deal.

You can easily create 3D shapes from a font (or any shape for that matter) in Adobe Illustrator. You could in PS, but they removed the 3D capabilities a while ago. You could make fake 3D though, real 3D will be either Illustrator or a proper 3D software (Blender, Substance etc)

[dire sable]

good morning Sandrine! You can still do font 3D in Photoshop with help off Layer style but it's better to do it in the other apps you said, because they have 3D tools.

[vapid flume]

Welll, you can create the 3D shape still, but lighting and texturing have almost all but disapeared. I mean I would expect top have some lighting and cameras fully functionnal if I wanted to do 3D 🙂
It's also insanely complicated compared to how you'd do it in Illustrator

Also since the phasing out have been going on for years now, I would say, if you haven't migrated to a proper 3D workflow yet, start it now 🙂
https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/photoshop-3d-features-are-being-removed/td-p/12322748

[dire sable]

It's not often I use 3D and it's only for fun. I have a 3D cad program then I work with 3D

[vapid flume]

Yes, I used to use 3D in Photoshop as well. I started in earnest just a bit before I started being interested in 3D agin (My luck! 😂) and I used it to model things and then I would use Dimension to stage them. It was pretty laggy and a bit bug prone though (In my opinion)

Maybe it was a very good alternative when nothing else existed. I think the combo Illustrator for modelling and Dimension for staging (lights, camaras, texturing) is a way simpler workflow for those who don't want to bother with very technical stuff. Of course it's limited compared to what you can do with a "proper" 3D software, but it's still good fun, and you learn about working around limitations!

Also Illustrator and Dimension are both in the standard CC subscription, so it's a good alternative on a budget (bar going to Blender which is free) and even if Dimension is marked "end-of-life" (but still fully working, it's just that's it's not updated beyond bug fixing nowadays) it's still a very good entry point if people want to work in the Substance environement (same UI, same logic etc)

But I digress 😂

[civic portal]

hey so im trying to color correct this image, how do i take out the red overcast?

[dire sable]

I have Blender but I have not have I nearly don't use it.
I have seen some tests of 3D apps and Adobe's 3D sweet stands up well in the competition. But have a complex workflow if I can say so.

[vapid flume]

One simple way is to add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer on top, select "reds" in the dropdown menu and lower the saturation slider in there

sometimes darken it as well works

There are other ways (Curves which is more precise) but Hue / Sat is the more strightforward

[civic portal]

it turns it into a very desaturated grey

[vapid flume]

Maybe lower it just a little, obviously not to 0

also you can try tweaking the Hue towards the right so the red becomes more yellow and blends better

you need to test things, move all 3 sliders untill you get something that fits

[civic portal]

i see

ig the image overall is just very warm , lots of orange yellow and red

[vapid flume]

red removed, to be in line with the rest

Now the red cast wasn't the real issue (But you did ask about the red 🙂 )

When there, you get into a module that ressembles Lightroom, which is more intuitive to retouch images.
First off, you need to search for a neutral grey into your image. It will be your refernece point

the hoodie worn by the character in the background seems a good contender

in the "colour" panel, check this eye dropper and click on the hoodie

That way, you get only the colour cast set by the sun

[civic portal]

yea

[vapid flume]

Then I would go towards the colour mixer there and tweak the colours further

click on this icon and then click in the image to select exactly the colours you want to change

place yourself in either hue, saturation or Luminance, and move the mouse right or left, directly within the image to check the results

[civic portal]

thanks , it will surely help me ahead tho

i doubt theres much that can be done further tho coz the image was so overexposed?

[vapid flume]

Of course, I am working from the screenshot and I can't extract any details from the face, but it would be within those settings

[civic portal]

oh lemme try that

[vapid flume]

Let me send over the different settings, in case that helps

I didn't go into much details but you get the thing

[lavish glade]

Is there a way to implement the sprites from a sprite sheet into photoshop easily? Or am I asking a question that would be better fit for a different software? I'm trying to take a single sprite and put it onto a map.

[vapid flume]

Do you mean extract each element from the whole sheet and insert them into a photoshop document? It depends how the sheet is made (Is it a flat file? layered? which file format?)

[civic portal]

this is what we get

[vapid flume]

I think eventually you will have to work on selections by masking. Keeping the face lighter while keeping the background lighter

there are very cooll selection methods in Lightroom (in some respects even better than in PS proper)

[civic portal]

oh i see

for now i just know basic color correction just fixing exposure and matching the whites blacks and greys with curves eyedropper

[lavish glade]

Correct. I'm trying to extract a singular sprite from the sheet to implement onto a different image. I'm not sure what you're asking in the 2nd question, but what you see is pretty much what you get. The format is a png but it still has that green background. The way I currently see a workaround is to screenshot the individual sprite I need, remove the background, then place that sprite into the map but it sounds dreadful doing it that many times, even if it's as needed.

[civic portal]

would be great to delve deeper into more advanced techniques for sure

if you could recommend some resources

[dire sable]

Selective colors and camera raw filter

[vapid flume]

I was asking as more often than not those sheets are either .ai files, a .svg, or an .eps (or an affinity designer file) that's what I have been given every time I had to work from those

If it's a flat png, the only way would be to carefully select the sprite you want to extract, and go CTRL/CMD+J (copy from selection)

[lavish glade]

Yeah I see what you mean. Unfortunately, I'm just using this for a recreational project to try and learn PS a bit better, so this isn't an official sheet such as .svg.

[lavish glade]

I'm still a little new to PS, would I use the Object Selection Tool to initially select the sprite I want before copying it?

[vapid flume]

Depending the size of each prite, you can extract roughtly the area using the shortcut I shared earlier (select first using the rectangular marquee tool - shortcut M -and use the magic wand -shortcut W - to remove the remaining background colour from the new layer

[dire sable]

The workflow for my test

[vapid flume]

this tutorial is cool too!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11jwSwUu2WI

[vapid flume]

Object selection tool would work, unless the sprites are very small, which I suspect they are.

Try it, and see if it manages

[lavish glade]

Alright, progress. Now doesn't PS have a built in "remove background" type of feature?

Or is there an easier way of removing the green

[vapid flume]

I mean most often than not, the success of using one feature over an other depend on the kind of colour, contrast and size of the element concerned (since those tools work according to edge and colour detection) so it will be a question of trial and error

[vapid flume]

Try the magic wand as I told you earlier?

it's a single colour so you should have some success with those settings

select the magic wand tool, and then click on the colour you want to remove. It will select it. Once selected, click CTRL/CMD+X to delete or mask it using the masking icon in the layer panel

[lavish glade]

Oh apologies, I missed that earlier/ forgot that step. So I've never used the magic wand before

What do I do after it's highlighted? (I know I can probably look it up, but I assume it's faster if you tell me and I really appreciate your help btw)

[vapid flume]

click on the green with the magic wand on the new layer. It should select only the green. then cut or mask as explained above

[civic portal]

thanks for your tutorials ill check them out !

[vapid flume]

you should see the "marching ants" (the blinking line) indicating the area selected

[lavish glade]

Oops lol almost there, I just CTRL+J'd but it removed the sprite rather than the green

[vapid flume]

Selecting areas, people etc in ACR is really a breeze. I would suggest doing a global colour correction and when it's done concentrating on the face to lighten it and bring details. Don't blow up the whole thing. Keep the background quite dark and then work on the face separately

[lavish glade]

I tried copying and pasting it, but it doesn't seem I can copy the sprite

[vapid flume]

before cutting, you will need to invert the selection (CTRL/CMD+I). It shouldn't be like that if you clicked on the green background though

so select, invert and cut... In that order

see how it selected the green only there

after cutting, note than some parts are semi transparent

[lavish glade]

I was having trouble with CTRL+I, but found out that it's SHIFT+CTRL+I for me (not sure why, but just wanted to let you know).

[lavish glade]

Yeah it seems I'm at that part but it's clipping into the actual sprite itself

It doesn't matter where I select the image with the magic wand, it always selects the same outline

Even if I click on the corner of the green

[vapid flume]

you can clean the residual stuff with the eraser

[vapid flume]

can you show me the whole PS screen? (with all the panels etc)

[lavish glade]

Yeah no problem. Like this?

[sage jackal]

hi! im working on a project thats meant to be a restaurant that sells memories via foods, ive started working on a menu and would like some feedback, its very rough rn but im stuck on what sort of direction to take it

[vapid flume]

Yes that's OK. What settings do you have for the magic wand? Nothing seems off in the screenshot you shared

[lavish glade]

Umm I'm not sure what settings could be changed. This is literally the first time I ever selected the magic wand, so it should be default everything

Yeah I just tried again and it's highlighting more than just the green. Is there a way I'd be able to tell it to only remove the green?

[dire sable]

Sandrin have you used history log anytime.

[lavish glade]

I wish there was like a paint bucket/ fill but for creating a PNG background

I just need to remove one static color

[vapid flume]

Yes, lowering the tolerance in the magic wand settings. See those I shared earlier

[serene coral]

as you're trying to select a single plain color, tolerance at 0 should do the job without spilling the selection anywhere

[vapid flume]

Yes, I used to, but not anymore, it just adds to the file size, and none of my client care about how I do my things 🙂 (not that I will share anything mind)

[lavish glade]

Once again, progress lol. What tolerance worked for you? It's now only removing the background.. but then leaves me with faded pixels. I'm not sure if tolerance even impacts this, but I tried 10

[serene coral]

can you send the source image?

[dire sable]

You can save automatic as a text file and your fil size on the image will not increase. only the logfile I started my logfile 11 January and to day is the text file only 2.6 MB

[lavish glade]

@serene coral this?

[serene coral]

yes, the image you sent gives me weird results

[vapid flume]

It's more than I have no use for it 🙂

[dire sable]

Agree, the only use I can see is you will do Actions or Tutorial to transcribe your settings for different tools

[vapid flume]

I generally work exclusively with smart objects and I can always see what I have done by clicking on the filters settings there. I used log files a lot when I was learning and I agree they are useful to reverse engineer things. Unfortunately nowadays I will thrive mostly for efficiency and trying to keep files relatively straightforward and light!

[dire sable]

Efficiency is no trouble for me if it take 10 min or 1 week no matter I'm retired

[vapid flume]

My retirement (if any) is still a long way away unfortunately! 😂

[wild totem]

Hi

How are u

[sly hawk]

Good start! - But it's always easier if you're not forced to start completely from scratch.

Something coming in from the edges could look nice:

[thick hearth]

hi um can anyone sugest and good drawing pad with styles i can not find one that is what i want the the one i am using is getting a little bit old and is starting not to work

[sly hawk]

I think it helps if you can find a nice colour pallette that you can pull from, it's always tough if you just randomly pick colours as you're designing:

I see you've already picked the crayon drawing style, but I also think 'stickers' could work quite well... So it looks like a child made the menu by putting wonky stickers around it.

[blazing kestrel]

can someone straighten this mat?

[sly hawk]

I'm a bit confused. The image you posted is an awfully low resolution. - It's all just blurry when you zoom in.
If you literally have nothing better, I'd suggest you follow the first 1/2 of this video here:

[sly hawk]

It's still going to still look jagged and pixelated.

here we go.

[blazing kestrel]

ok thanks. can you please send me the picture?

[sly hawk]

How about you include a 'please' in there first?

Here you go 🙂

[blazing kestrel]

thanks👍

[serene coral]

that would actually be fine but only if pixels weren't aliased somehow in the image they sent

[wary rivet]

I've been having an issue with Photoshop, where sometimes I'll Quick Export as PNG, wait for it to finish, then, in Photoshop, change the image size without saving new copy.. but the image that I saved before has now been replaced with a saved version of the new size- example:

Quick Save guardians.png at 1024x1024 onto Desktop > Press Enter > Change image size of guardians.png to 512x512 > Press Enter > guardians.png, which is on the Desktop, now reads as 512x512,
-even though all I did was change the size of the still-being-edited document in photoshop, and did not save again.

[ripe quest]

If there is only one copy of guardians.png and its on the desktop and you save over it (use the same name) of course its replaced. Thats how files work. :)

Save the PSD first. Then do Quick Export.

[ripe quest]

If the file itself is still open in Photoshop, you might be able to use the History panel to go back to a certain state. Window > History...

[sly hawk]

Out of interest, what is the layer called? I'm sure I saw a video where the guy was auto-saving files by simply adding .png to the layer name!

https://www.tiktok.com/@barnardco/video/7179476021673069830

[ripe quest]

I actually do this a lot but using the right-click option, Quick Export PNG.

[wary rivet]

I'm aware, as I said twice, I'm not saving it again after editing it, it seems to automatically replace it sometimes at random

I do this a lot because I'm making icons and I need about 5 different sizes of each, so this is a constant process, but sometimes, when I change the size without saving, it will somehow save it anyway, replacing the file I just saved

If I catch it in time, I can save it, just Ctrl Z to before the resize then resave it as the full size image, then try resizing it again, but that's an annoying process and requires that I double check that each icon hasn't mysteriously been saved over without actively trying to do so

[ripe quest]

Why not use File > Export > Export as... ? You can Export multiple files/sizes at once.

[wary rivet]

Can this batch process also execute a specific naming convention?

or is it just filename(1), (2), (3), etc..

For my purposes, the filenames need to be
FilenameΩ
Filename8x8
Filename4x4
Filename2x2
Filename1x1

[ripe quest]

Then you should probably use the Image Processor script. @sly hawk can probably show you a method. I think he uses this a lot.

Or tediously export them out one by one... it's up to you. Heh

[wary rivet]

I find.. learning scripts tedious..

cause I suck at script shenanigans

[ripe quest]

Ok. Then carry on as before. Just save the PSD first if this odd behavior is occurring.

Then delete the PSD later if you don't need it.

[ripe quest]

It has a GUI. You're not writing Javascript.

[wary rivet]

Well, I suppose I'll see if James replies

[sly hawk]

Probably a few options.
You could probably create an 'action' that saves, resize, save, resize, save etc.

You could maybe use a duplicated smart object and a load of artboards? - then batch save all artboards

Or you could save all the images in the same psd together as separate layers and then 'export layers as files'

Then you could save all the 8x8 in one single hit.

The names of the files could be [Layer Name] - 8x8.png

@wary rivet

[wary rivet]

All that does sound very appealing-

[ripe quest]

I was actually thinking "Image Processor Pro" add-on but perhaps its overkill.

[sly hawk]

I sense a "but"

[wary rivet]

I suck at script- majorly

[sly hawk]

So do I. None of that uses custom scripting

[wary rivet]

Then how do I achieve this?

[sly hawk]

Can you please DM me a zip file with a bunch of your example files?

nah like the outline of the people

[tidal ice]

Is someone willing to help me find a certain font? Please pm

[wary rivet]

If you're able to get cutouts of the people, you can make them a flat colour and match that colour to the background while giving them a 'stroke' effect the layer fx

[sly hawk]

(Just one more video - very faffy, but you'll hopefully catch the gist of what I was doing)

Adding a stroke around a person is easy?

Pink lines I think are smart guides.

Best I could do was:

"a black screen with fire in red particles on it, in the style of light gold and dark brown, scattered composition, atmospheric and dreamy, glittery and shiny, dark brown and orange, tumblewave, shot on 70mm --ar 16:9"

[stuck sonnet]

been getting the exact same results :/ cant get them to spread out more

As you can probably guess,, this was based on me asking midjourney to describe it

"small campfire particle texture on black background" this is the best ive found so far

trying to copy paste something from one psd to another but when i paste it just creates an empty layer. why is this happening?

[foggy palm]

has it always been like this that Opacity is not actually saving when exporting it as PNG?

it seems that the Opacity is not preserved when exporting. i tried the quick PNG export, save as (and web), ticked on Transparency but it will remain as-is. this is what I want to achieve but the result is:

Hello all! Could someone teach me how to thicken the neck in images? I'm trying and failing miserably right now 😄

[river otter]

looks like it saved hence the green is darker because its blending with the gray. youd probably notice it more if you put it on something

[median forge]

I’m just gonna put this in #📝project-feedback I think I picked the wrong channel 😂 any advice still appreciated here tho

[river otter]

ofc though the gray of file explorer and whatever else does not have a pattern to let you know its opaque. i could be wrong ofc but it really does look like you got what was intended

[foggy palm]

it is indeed opaque

-20 minutes wasted and im like.. ok

appreciate the point-out haha

[ripe quest]

You should be able to drag and drop a layer to another PSD file. Also, you can right-click on it (in the Layers Panel) and choose, "Duplicate" and then choose the destination document.

[ripe quest]

The #📝project-feedback is the appropriate place for this.

[river otter]

tried both of those methods

still blank layers

what im pasting btw

[ripe quest]

You'll have to share more because its impossible to understand based on these fragments of screenshots.

[river otter]

what do you want to see

[median forge]

👍

[river otter]

initially i thought maybe the original file types of both images was the problem but ive done this many times and its never been a problem until now

[ripe quest]

Drag Layer 1 to the other tab, hold there until Ps puts the document in focus, then drop it. It should be that simple.

[river otter]

hm

the logo was insanely oversized. its possible the shirt wouldve fit right between the gaps of it

but why wouldnt it show on the layers view?

bottom is what just worked, top is me trying to copy paste it again

Its probably there but its "insanely large" - try to transform one of the so-called "empty" layers... Ctrl T.
