[rich spindle]

Does someone know how to add this black highlight automatically when writing text? (not manually, as in adding rectangle playing with the free transform etc, i mean a standard highlight/background of the written text like this;

[remote vapor]

Unfortunately, from what I know there is no way to do it automatically.

[rich spindle]

Damn

What about Canva?

or a alternative

Kinda weird that Photoshop hasn’t that feature

[rich spindle]

(sounds like I am a amateur but our goal is to post in high quantity news stuff on instagram)

[ripe quest]

There is way to do that using layer styles but its kind of a kludge. Its much easier with Adobe Illustrator.

[sly hawk]

I've previously done it by creating a MASSIVE UNDERLINE beneath the text, but that still technically wouldn't work in the example below.
Also, that it may have been done in indesign or Illustrator.

@rich spindle

[shy onyx]

😟😟😟, how tho

[sly hawk]

It was probably done with a literal pen/paper and scanned in.

[ripe quest]

Not ideal, but it can be done with Layer Styles...

[sly hawk]

(You spelt colour wrong @ripe quest ) 🃏

[ripe quest]

You spelled "spelt" wrong.

Spelt? WTH is that? lol

[vapid flume]

With a pen/marker and a piece of paper, or the Photoshop equivalent, with a digital marker brush . It's basic hatching technique, something you learn when you take drawing classes

[vapid flume]

both are correct in BrEn (I routinely say Spelt myself, but I'm not really British) Spelt is also the name of a type of wheat 🙂

I'm not big on irony, so the whole conversation may as well made a big swoosh over my head

[ripe quest]

It looks ridiculous, regardless.

[vapid flume]

it's not there for looks I suppose 🙂

[ripe quest]

I used to like correcting people's grammar. But then I realized what I liked more was having friends. :)

[rich spindle]

Yeah

[rich spindle]

Man I have no experience with Illustrator really, I’ve worked with Photoshop for over 12+ years but Illustrator no idea.

[rich spindle]

true yeah

[ripe quest]

The best way would be to set your text and then draw rectangle around it afterwards. Neither solution is ideal but that's the state of things ATM.

Or use Illustrator, which is probably overkill for this use-case.

[bronze bane]

Anyone has a clue on how to get this warm stone-like b&w?

I’ve been trying to play around with saturation and temp but I can’t reach the same results

[ripe quest]

What about using a LUT (Color Lookup Table) or a Camera Raw Filter. I think there are already Presets for "sepia tone" and similar effects.

[bronze bane]

Good advice I’ll try now

[upbeat temple]

Hey there, I'm having some issues with the animation timeline in photoshop.

Currently trying to move some layers I rotoscoped up to where the part I am working on starts. Unfortunately, when I try to move more than one layer to a group, photoshop moves the entire group to the start of the timeline.

Video GRoup 2 is the rotoscoped layers I want to use as reference
Video Group 2 is where I am trying to move them to. When I moved only one frame, it started where the video marker currently is (where I put it). When I moved the next frame, it moved both frames to the start of the timeline.

I want to move all of these frames at once so they line up with the part I am trying to animate.

[native scaffold]

Hi everyone! How do you center text that has a tail in the font? For example the “y” in this image:

Do I center within the “A”, “m”, or “y” ?

[native shard]

this guy was a grammar cop

is this a question? no right

[upbeat temple]

that is going to give you malware lol

[native shard]

for sure it will, @ripe quest

[native shard]

well, its prolly not getting center aligned because of the black part, the photoshop is most likely thinking that the pink spaces should not be touched

[native scaffold]

Sorry, in that photo what I’m showing is that I’ve centered the text from the m only. If this text has the y and a which makes them not perfectly centered for padding for a profile picture/website logo. What do I center from so it doesn’t look uneven

[ripe quest]

@sly hawk is just joking around. He likes to tease me about my [apparently] inferior American version of the English language :)

[sly hawk]

Yeah. @ripe quest knows I was entirely joking. I wouldn't want to compete with Dhumman in either photoshop skills or grammar. He would beat me at both.

[ripe quest]

Doubtful. I'm a lifelong learner of both. Still learning.

Thank you

[opal lagoon]

Hey, so I'm trying to make a flash light texture for a game I'm working on. This is what I have so far, but I need the edges of the cone to be more faded. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

And by faded I mean something like this (I want the edges to fade to black/transparent)

[ripe quest]

How about starting by adding a Layer Mask with a Linear Gradient...

[ripe quest]

Then convert the Layer to a Smart Object and add a Gaussian Blur to soften the whole thing. (I added a background so the effect was visible.)

[opal lagoon]

That’s exactly perfect! Thank you so much!

[edgy iron]

Anyone could help me? Photoshop won't let me draw, I need to wait a minute before it is back to normal every time I come across the problem.

[kind pecan]

can i ask about adobe animate

i couldnt find any adobe animate servers

this is the only server i found

[grand stump]

not sure, but that sounds a bit like your system itself seem to be a bit slow or outdated or something like that. Is that only when you draw or also when doing other things?

[grand stump]

There is also the Adobe Premiere Discord you can try https://discord.gg/adobepremiere

[kind pecan]

Oh i meant if i can ask other question here but i forgot to write it somehow..

[wispy vine]

Could you please advise me, there is a window with white glass on the photo. I need to remove this fragment and insert another background. How do I do it?

[cobalt storm]

Well at least you're inclusive in your mockery

[native shard]

i dont mean to mock or anything, why bother making this and that

when clearly there is no special font style or anything to disturb that easy process i told you about

you want to save time?

[cobalt storm]

Yeah

[native shard]

[cobalt storm]

Sorry

[river otter]

is it possible to widen the blue boxes (the ones in background not green boxes) or to change their lines? the img in background isnt worked by me and I cannot retrieve its PSD file

if I can actually change the dimensions of that box how can I do it ?

I'm sure I might have seen a tutorial about this but I don't know where

Am I supposed to ping anyone here or no ?

[rose grail]

No

[river otter]

ok

[rose grail]

And yeah you can make it wider, just stretch it

[river otter]

i cant as transformation controls dont work there

as i said its a plain image

[rose grail]

But you can stretch a plain image

[river otter]

But That will require to stretch the entire

image

let me send only the file real quick

[rose grail]

I can't open .ps files right now

[river otter]

dw

so it is basically just this plain image

with no layers no nothing

just this

and i was asking if i could stretch those box lines

in a way or smth

they arent layers

[rose grail]

Wait do you mean only the gold border or the entire image?

[river otter]

do u see the two boxes that are seperated by a thin layer?

thin bar

[rose grail]

Yeah

You want to stretch those?

[river otter]

yeah

but those aint layers

how do i do it

do i make a pen selection or smth

i want to strech in height more or like

[rose grail]

And do you want to keep the same aspect-ratio of the entire image?

[river otter]

yes

u got me now

[rose grail]

oh in height

[river otter]

see, thats why i dont know how

[rose grail]

So not wider but taller

[river otter]

YEAH

my bad

taller

but i dont want to change the dimensions of the entire image

just that part

but that part aint a layer so idk how to do it

[rose grail]

I'd use the clone stamp tool

Or just make a selection of them and stretch them, but then the background would get stretched as well

[river otter]

idk how to do that

lMFOA

[rose grail]

Get the rectangle selection tool, make a selection of one of the boxes, press CTRL+J, CTRL+T then shift+move one of the anchors

[river otter]

hmm nice

[rose grail]

Does it work?

[river otter]

lemme trty

[river otter]

yeah it does work

kinda looks bad cuz of the big ass bar now in the low end of the box

[rose grail]

screenshot?

[river otter]

i also did a poor selection tbh

i will cut that layer with refined edges or smth idk

[rose grail]

That's not too bad

The bar is easly fixable

[river otter]

how do i remove it

or sum

[rose grail]

Do you want to remove it or fix it?

[river otter]

remove it

and also

how do i do a cut with rounded corners

[rose grail]

When you make a selection leave some margins so you can select the corners

[rose grail]

Then just select the line (and the white glow around it) and press shift+backspace and then enter, then it should do the trick

[river otter]

EYYY crazyy

[rose grail]

Worked?

[river otter]

yeah but now looks that i did that

xddd

cuz it has different shadow

[rose grail]

screen?

[river otter]

i will fill that up dw

[rose grail]

Oh ok

[river otter]

do i lengthen the midbar here in height the same waY?

[river otter]

didnt understand this sorry.

[rose grail]

And I dont understand this

[river otter]

the yellow midbar that seperates both of the boxes

i want to make it taller

actually

idk

i will leave it once like that

[river otter]

this is more important

[rose grail]

I meant this

The red is the selection

If you leave some margins you can cut the rounded corners

[rose grail]

Ok, it's the same process for the boxes, select it, and then stretch it. The exact same way you did for the boxes

[rich spindle]

unfortunaly yup

[river otter]

hmm

right now i have a rectangle

and i want the rectangle to have rounded corners

i can do it like that?

[rose grail]

but it already has rounded corners

[river otter]

no cuz i copied it in selection

bad

i copied as a rectangle

cuz idk how to copy with corner

[rose grail]

ok, then go back and remake the selection

[river otter]

how do i select with corner

freehand selection?

oh its ellipse selection

[rose grail]

As I did here, the blue thing is the box with rounded corners, the red thing is the selection you have to make

The selection doesnt have to be with rounded corners

[river otter]

then how do i cut afterwards and leave just the rounded corners?

[rose grail]

First do it and then send me a screenshot

[river otter]

ok so i selected

now i ctrl J ?

[rose grail]

ok but be careful because you also selected a bit of the golden bar on the right, remake the selection and then yeah, ctrl j and do as before

[river otter]

ok how do i cut just the rounded corners

i mean cut and leave jsut hte bpx

the box**

and remove my margin selection

[rose grail]

Yeah i now, stretch it as I told you before first

then we're gonna remove those

[river otter]

alright this is maximum i wanna stretch

[sudden plank]

Sometimes i think when i switch tabs i keep making the gui/toolbar go away, i remember i solved this but i forget what keys i press to get it back

[rose grail]

ok perfet, now as you can see on the right there is a lot of difference in color, press ctrl shift E, then select the difference but not the inside of the box and then shift delete

[rose grail]

can you make a screenshot of your whole screen

[sudden plank]

https://gyazo.com/6c084c2c2f147082e9dda26da3606fee

[sudden plank]

Sure!

I had this last time i used ps which was a while back, it was a easy fix but i dont remember the keys to press

also sorry for bad english

[rose grail]

I think you just have to select the toolbar and then drag it to the side of the screen

if you cant see it go to window > toolbar or view > toolbar I dont remember

[sudden plank]

ah just had to press tab

ty

[river otter]

appearantly this workaround doesnt work

as ctrl shift E merges stuff

is there a tool i can click for this

[tulip obsidian]

why i can't define as pattern?

[kind pecan]

with the bucket tool i cant fill the gaps even when i have close gap option selected

why why why

[ripe quest]

I don't think Define Pattern will work if the selection is "Feathered" at all. Even 1 pixel...

[kind pecan]

i can only fill stuff with the bucket when there isnt a gap

and the close gaps option just doesnt work for gaps

in adobe animate

[ripe quest]

Yeah, I'm not familiar with Animate. Sorry.

[tulip obsidian]

i tried removing fx but still not, it only allows me to define the entire photo

[ripe quest]

Drop the current selection (Ctrl D). Then Ctrl-click on the Layer Thumbnail to select the pixels on that layer. Then try Edit > Define Pattern...

[kind pecan]

do you know anyone who knows animate?

[sly hawk]

You may have more luck in the Adobe video server:
https://discord.gg/adobepremiere

[ripe quest]

Yeah. The AV Discord might be a good place to ask. If not, there is always the Animate User Guide: https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/user-guide.html

[river otter]

yo question how do u make the rectangle on the left be the same size as the one at the right?

[desert mauve]

How can i remove the fill and keep only the stroke from this image?

[ivory rampart]

Select by colour and mask it

[ripe quest]

Is the star on a Layer by itself?

If you have Adobe Illustrator, you can just make a pristine vector star to the desired specs. It's simple. If not, I can give you vector art of a star....

[willow sphinx]

Do adjustment layers not work on brushes? I used a brush to make a smoke effect and it won't change colors when I clip the adjustments layer.

[ripe quest]

Adjustment Layers operate on Layers. Not on tools. Make sure you're applying the Adjustment to the correct layer.

[willow sphinx]

I have it clipped to the laye I used the tool on

[ripe quest]

Its pure white. Turn the "Lightness" value down a bit.

[willow sphinx]

wow thanks, can't believe I missed that

[ripe quest]

You can use the Alignment Tools... See this quick demo: #💬chat-general message

[river otter]

hmm mainly looking for aligning like this

2 different images

heres what I got so far but idk

[ripe quest]

You've drawn the Guides. If the areas are defined how you want them, drop the images in, turn on Snapping (View > Snap) and drag the images into place.

[river otter]

yeah but the areas are uneven idk how to make it even

[ripe quest]

OK. One moment,

[ripe quest]

One way to set up your Guides is to use fixed sized shapes. However, you could also just use fixed size Marquee Selections...

[river otter]

what do you think is the best way to edit this photo?

[tawdry depot]

Hey there. I'm working on some astrophotography, and I'm trying to sample the color on one part of a star, and use it to correct some fringing on another part of the star. My question is twofold:

1. Is this the best way to do this type of correction?
2. If it is, how do I make it work?

[idle jacinth]

how the hell do you remove the background of a hairy object? im trying using color range but thats the best i can do. please help

[willow sphinx]

You can use select and mask to refine the edges, there are also some other options there you can tweak

[wanton gull]

If I adjust hue and saturation to a monochrome layer. Can I pick a color with the Eyedropper and apply it?

[torn condor]

How can I process PDFs logos that are transparent all centered into 2000x2000px white background?
To use action?

[serene coral]

"process" how? export to svg, png? I would probably use Acrobat's export options

[serene coral]

I'm not sure if I understand your question, do you want to sample from the selected layer only? If so, set the tool's options in the options bar at the top accordingly

[torn condor]

PNG

[serene coral]

yes, you can export to png directly from Acrobat

[torn condor]

Ok, thanks.
Btw, is it possible to export Main project multiple times by updating smart object layer comps one after another and export all of them?

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @serene coral (current: #6 - 831)

[torn condor]

I have that project with layer comps.

[serene coral]

unless you're using artboards. then you have to do everyting manually

[torn condor]

Yeah, but layer comps are "different project (smart object)".

I dont have layer comps in my main project

[serene coral]

layer comps can control the selection of the smart objects' layer comps

[sly hawk]

If it were me, I'd include one last step - I'd download a FUR brush online, and paint in the mask using it in the biggest trouble areas

Your other problem is that the image you're clipping out is too small.

[bold bolt]

Hello, I'm trying my luck, maybe someone knows or can give me ideas for a logo with the letters I + V. I can't find an explanation of how to do it anywhere. Thanks in advance everyone

Most of those are stock images, so if you buy/use one, you're not 'stealing it' from a real brand/company.

[bold bolt]

Thank you very much friend, you helped a lot, I found some that I liked

[sly hawk]

Which star/effect are you hoping to copy?

[tawdry depot]

I want the stars that are 2- or 3-tone to be monotone

Get rid of the blues on the majority yellow stars and vice versa

[tawdry depot]

This looks like it will affect all stars on my image though, right? I only want to heal the blemishes. I don't wanna turn all blue stars yellow or all yellow stars blue. This is a small sampling of a much larger image

[sly hawk]

Yeah, keep watching the whole video

At the 30 second mark I turn the mask black, which hides ALL my adjustments... - then I use the white brush to 'pick out' the bits I want.

[thick tangle]

guys what do i do when i select white parts of the image then delete them but it leaves this small like 1px trace behind .... how do i deal with this?

do i only expand the selection or whats the best solution

[serene coral]

sounds like you might want to adjust your selection, either by Selection>Modify or with the help of Select&Mask workspace https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/select-mask.html

I would suggest using Illustrator's tracing option

...how are you working with .ai files with no Illustrator installed?

yeah that uses the Photoshop's "tracing" that uses the selection to create paths. The only option there is to alt-click the Make Work Path button and specify the tolerance but that's it

well, as expected - the path tried to follow the selection as precisely as possible

an option here would be to manually trace the shapes using the pen tool to create smooth paths directly in Ps

[sly hawk]

If you did use illustrator, there is literally a 'smooth paths' button to fix stuff like that.

If it makes you feel any better, it's not INSANELY better...

If I were you, if it was important, I'd suck it up and just manually hand-trace it in photoshop or something. It's 5-10 minute job.

Maybe 2 mins, if you're quick.

[ripe quest]

Pen Tool + elbow grease, FTW!

[hearty wraith]

Which I prefer to do so I can warp it

[sly hawk]

102 seconds 🙂

[sly hawk]

I guess you could warp it first then, and then trace over the warped shape.

Hi, I have a small issue I could use some help with. I do some liveries for games (in this case GTA V) and I want to change a "main" color of an existing livery with a lot of detail. I know how to do this in most cases, either just use a brush/bucket, multiply a layer ontop or hue/saturation. The issue I have is that the livery is basically black and multiply barely changes anything, even with white and same issue with hue/saturation. Brush/bucket is a no option since there are a lot of "screws/rivets" as well as some pattern thats will be lost if I use paint over the existing color. Any ideas on how to tackle this? I know it is possible since another guy has managed it, but I can't get ahold of him... Best regards

[livid otter]

Is there a method in which I can separate the hand from the face? I plan on animating the hand in AE.

[dim lotus]

@livid otter Lasso tool maybe? And ctrl+c ctrl+v for new layer to keep it

[livid otter]

I tried that but the transparency comes through, the goal is to have the face where the hand covers to be consistent.

Something that'll keep the fill color of the face

[dim lotus]

As I said, ctrl+c ctrl+v, dont move the hand. and then you can just use either lasso or something like the elliptical marquee tool to mark the hand and press shift+f5 to "content aware" remove the hand

[livid otter]

okay, I'll try that.

[thick tangle]

maybe just cut the hand out and then u can perhaps use this 😶 emoji to 'fill' in that space

[livid otter]

LOL

i have that as my second option.

[dim lotus]

If you use the elliptical marquee, dont necessarily mark the hand, "align" along the outer edge of the smiley, if you understand

[livid otter]

not really, I hardly use PS.

[dim lotus]

Send me the file and I'll do it for you if you want

[thick tangle]

@livid otter

here u go if u still want it

[worldly spoke]

Hey guys can anyone help me? I cant get a normal version of PS, I signed up for the 7 day free trial and it wont let me install in the cloud app, please help me :(((

[thick tangle]

u have there 4 layers finish them how u want it by urself 😉 .... just cut the hand out from that 'face layer'

[thick tangle]

also crop the document to make it bigger (the 'missing part') is already there... i made it too small... but im sure u'll figure it out ur self

[light bough]

yo can anyone dm if their willing to do a very small task for me

[thick tangle]

send it

like DM me

[thick tangle]

if i'll know how to do it😅

[worldly spoke]

Would anyone know?

@spark snow Pete, since I read your bio, would you know?

[spark snow]

What happens when you try to install the creative cloud desktop app?

[worldly spoke]

The try button does big nothing 😭
did I get baited by adobe? hehhh im lost

[worldly spoke]

Ummm I got it installed, I think.. Is this it?:

I put my card in there, it said that its all ready and good to go, installed this app, now im running on that free trial thing I assume, but I thought that I may get a chance to work with photoshop before actually buying it, turns out I was wrong? Or how does this whole thing work?

[spark snow]

You should definitely get the 7 day trial to install and use Photoshop before deciding to continue with the subscription.

Does it help to log out of the CC desktop app, and then log back in? Maybe the system is taking a minute to grant your account the installation access

[worldly spoke]

Umm let me see, by the way just to state this: Ive had the app installed for like good 40 minutes now, strange..

I will try to sign out and sign in again, I ll let you know.

[spark snow]

Yeah, strange... Hopefully that works.

Just to check -- you're an admin on the system?

[worldly spoke]

Ummm ok, Apparently, I CANT even do that! sign out button is grayed out, what the hell is happening?

Is this normal?

[worldly spoke]

I shall be yes.

[spark snow]

It's possible it's installing Photoshop -- that could be a reason it's not allowing sign out.

[worldly spoke]

Oh right maybe, where could I possibly look for any instalation which may be happening on my system?

From my home page it tells me quite big nothing ngl..

this is where the actual PS is located..

Under Apps to try

[spark snow]

It should show progress in the CC desktop app itself. What does that Open Photoshop button do on the Learn card towards the top? Does that open Ps?

Can you DM me the email address you set up your AdobeID with?

[worldly spoke]

sure

[chrome pawn]

how would i go about doing something like the hand-drawn text in ps

[spark snow]

You could create a text layer (Type tool) with the Font you'd like to emulate with the hand drawn effect, then create a new blank layer on top of it and trace it (mouse or stylus) with a brush or pencil tool. Once complete, you could hide or delete the text layer

[chrome pawn]

Hi everyone. I'm trying to recreate the red and white ribbon from the Sonic 1 logo, but I'm having a lot of trouble manipulating the design in the same way. Specifically the curves of the edge of the ribbon fold. Does anyone have any advice?

[ivory rampart]

wouldn't be easier to work on that modified version?

I was using the program normally when, out of nowhere, the mask icon in the layers panel stays activated all the time, and I can't click on it to add a mask. The only way to fix it is by closing the program. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

I'm using Photoshop CC 2020.

[dim lotus]

I've tried both, obviously, but doesn't really matter it seems unfortunately... I tried the blacked one since the modified had to be made from that one but yes, the green is easier 🙂

What does graphic processor do guys?

If I deactivate ?

I’m just curious

[ivory rampart]

a lot of things

if you are testing on empty documents you won't see much difference in performance

[quick wind]

Watched a tutorial but nothing

https://youtu.be/DVwfR2832o4?si=SfOEpR1tYT2pLk7B

[dim lotus]

Does PS recognize your GPU?

[quick wind]

Yea

I didn’t over clock my gpu or anything

[dim lotus]

Make sure everything is ticked in the Performance tab

[quick wind]

What spec do you have?

[dim lotus]

3070ti

[quick wind]

Should I stream and show you what I mean?

[dim lotus]

Sure

[quick wind]

Which talk channel should I join?

It’s the load speed normal?

Also on integrated gpu loaded a little slower

[dim lotus]

@quick wind DM me, Ill talk to you there

[quick wind]

Ok

What would be the best method of "bending" the edge of this ribbon fold in the Sonic logo to achieve the same kind of look and shape?

[sage niche]

i need help, photoshop is a kek again. all i did is working with color range, then tapped ctrl + z and all of a sudden my color for "abo assis gmbh" went from red to gray???????????

every. single. time. Photoshop is way to irresponsible and not cooperative.

and yea, repasting the photo wont do the job

[ripe quest]

Probably an accidental mistype and it got set to Proof Colors. View > Proof Colors... or Ctrl Y...

[sage niche]

...

thanks for the answer

i just dropped the project

never in my life did i have an application like photoshop that would always push me to my mental limits

[fathom drift]

hey, how do I extend the V to the top and make it last to the end of the sentence, and the Z would have like a tail under the sentence?
Also is there like a font that would do that or do i have to do it myself?

[torn condor]

InDesign, Illustrator And Photoshop all have problem exporting PDF if there are transparent elements.
There are glitches, any fix for this?

[inner jasper]

The subject selection is not made well. Is there a way I can edit the selection?\

[elfin wigeon]

If done alot of research on this topic but i cant seem to find a consistent rule on exporting psd file for print. Im trying to prep some of my photos to upload on to a third party print on demand site. My current method right now is "save a copy" then export in order to maintain my originaly DPI and dimensions. When i use another method of exporting iv noticed that the resolution goes down to 92 for some reason even though the dimensions are havent changed.

[elfin wigeon]

While holding Alt the selection cursor should go from + to - then just paint over the areas you dont want

[sly hawk]

You would have to do it yourself

[elfin wigeon]

Do you know anyone who could help me with my question

tryna get this taken care of as soon as possible

[sly hawk]

Perhaps yeah.

1- What's it for
2- What software do you have
3- What original file do you have?

[elfin wigeon]

1. Print on deman website known as DarkRoom. (photography Portfolio/print) 2. I have PS version 25.1

3. raw file transfer from Lightroom

I use Photoshop to export because i find it easier

i dont export directly from lightroom

[fathom drift]

do u know how? Any tutorials or anything

[sly hawk]

Perhaps yeah.
1- What's it for
2- What software do you have?
3- What original file do you have to work from?

@elfin wigeon - sorry, one sec, I was responding to someone else but your answers help... - give me a moment and I'll try and help.

[fathom drift]

1- Personal logo for youtube channel
2- PSC6
3- i don’t get the question

[sly hawk]

Can you share the original image without you drawing lines over it?

[elfin wigeon]

Sounds good i will patiently wait sensei

[sly hawk]

That's different to your earlier image! 🙂

[fathom drift]

ye i like this one more

[sly hawk]

You'll really want to use the pen tool to trace it... or I I guess you could just keep the poor quality low res image and just draw your extra bit on...

[sly hawk]

I'm assuming that you're printing direct to sub/garment, as opposed to screen printing?

[fathom drift]

damn bro that looks dope but you made it look too easy, hope I don’t struggle

[elfin wigeon]

Uh no im not printing on garments. I meant fine art photography prints. I use a third-party website to do so as i don't like wasting time with fulfillment and all the logistics of running a successful print shop right now.

[sly hawk]

oh sorry, I'm so used to everyone trying to put their designs on t-shirts!

Do they have a specific print-spec on their website?

--
Like I'd suggest to you send it as a 300DPI TIFF file or something if it's fine art, but that's insane if your image is over 1 metre in size.

[elfin wigeon]

They do have specs. im trying to pull it up right now. one sec

[sly hawk]

ok. Cool - TIFF is bigger, but better quality due to less compression.

I'd suggest you set your 'image size' in CM's to whatever you want it to be ....and set the PPI to 300.

For example, a 300PPI image, which is 50cm square, is almost 6,000 pixels across, which sounds pretty decent.

[elfin wigeon]

So i get that. I guess where im getting hung up on is the various wasy of exporting. So for example whenever im exporting for instagram i use "save for web" color profile is main concern and DPI not so much. Its exporting for print that im confused on. I need my color profile to be accurate and my dpi to stay at 300. As i had said earlier iv been using the "save a copy" method as it retains both color profile (SRGB ) and dpi of 300. So i guess my question is if im doing that correctly.

[sly hawk]

Presumably your colour profile should be CMYK?

Since you can't print in RGB anyway?

[elfin wigeon]

Correct i understand most print shops require CMYK but intrestinlgy enough they say SRGB works too. Iv ran a few tests with printers locally as well as on demand websites and me using SRGB has never been a problem.

now how accurate the colors are well thats a different story as i havent done a side by side comparison. But chaning color profiles isnt my issue. Im just having trouble deciding what method to export as as theres so many and little to know info online.

[sly hawk]

Yeah, printers are less fussed these days. Not worth their effort in trying to push a customer to change a setting in their images

Honestly, I'd just click file > save as > and pick TIFF/

Job done 🙂

If the filesize ends up too large, change the PPI down to 200 and try again.

[elfin wigeon]

Awsome i will give this method a try thanks for your help!

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sly hawk (current: #7 - 824)

[elfin wigeon]

oh wait are you still there

i just realized iv never exported a tiff file

so i dont know what options to choose

[sly hawk]

I'm not sure myself. - maybe go with NONE? - and see how big the file is?

[fathom drift]

@sly hawk

I keep getting this result, it's not going in a straight line, plus I can't do it in 1 step like you did in the video. It only lets me do it Point by Point

Plus there's a gap in between that's not filled somehow

[sly hawk]

just click once when drawing lines - don't hold the mouse down

[sly hawk]

It's a bit of a challenge...

[eager heron]

How you got it at 1:13 minute in the video is perfect! if yo in any way could send it 😄

But yeah i understand & agree with you, I've tried for like, 1-2 houres now 🤣

[sly hawk]

I don't mind doing/sending things over like this if you've already been trying/learning etc.

[eager heron]

Thank you 🙏
Yes, I've tried to figure it out by my self but no luck 😄

How would I do this airbrush design in photoshop, Ive tried one way and didn't get the results I wanted

[fathom drift]

that’s what i am doing but it won’t make points unless i let go

[obsidian ice]

How do i make pictures like this?

So basically I’ve attached a few images of this person who makes really cool nostalgic pics that look like they were straight out of 2012 but how do they do this editing? How do they get the exact ebay font for example or fake the old iphone text message and honestly every aspect about it. How could i create something like these? Is this even photoshop?

[harsh frost]

I have a quick question. I am trying to remove a part of a screenshot, not sure how to go about it.

[floral knoll]

hi. Does anyone know how to make this effect? tysm

[willow sphinx]

If you look up comic book effects on youtube you can find it

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

[floral knoll]

thank you sm. I think it kinda looks like the halftone effect

[willow sphinx]

yeah halftone that's what it is

[warped kernel]

Which one do you think is better? and what should I do to make it loop more presentable?

[willow sphinx]

If the purpose is to display the text then the 2nd one

[balmy vale]

Im trying to replace a 2d models color using a paint bucket tool but it has places that have a dark gradient color and i cant replace the color so easily. Any ideas?

ah!!! media encoder keeps failing onme

is there things i could look for so it stops failing on me?

[vapid flume]

Mind you typos!
For real feedback you can go to #📝project-feedback
I think in both instances the text is too close to the sides, it's not breathing! Use the empty space liberally 🙂
And check the copy, beyond the fact that what you are trying to say doesn't immediately make sense to me

[vapid flume]

I use Media encoder but really I'm not an expert.
I would go to discord.gg/adobepremiere where all video software lives.
Unless someone else knows better here (It would also help if you could describe what happens when you use Ae, but honestly I would ask in the video server)

[marble geode]

Hi guys! I am new to Photoshop, and i have suck a problem that my photoshop just doesnt want to draw with a colour that i want. In Images -> Mode -> i have RGB , but idk why its just dont want to draw with a colour that i choose. I would be really gr8ful if u guys could help me

[vapid flume]

Can you show a screenshot of what you have? A whole screenshot, with the layers etc... The whole window! It helps a lot understanding what is wrong

[marble geode]

All good, i solved this problem. The issue was in the colour mode in was "Japan Newspaper Mode" or something like that. idk..
but tysm anyway!

[ruby geyser]

Can somebody tell me what’s wrong? Basically i opened a photo, duplicated it,made a previous modification (i erased an object on the beach with AI gen fill), then I merged both layers in a unique layer. I made another selection, and this pops up. Never ever had this kind of problem. Can anyone help? many thanks in advance

[serene coral]

what is your selection tool?

[vapid flume]

@ruby geyser is it possible that you have a feather applied to your selection that is actually bigger than the area you're trying to select?

like a 10 px wide area with a 25 pixel feather applied

[zealous meadow]

How do i get only the white lines and the black gray things away?

[ruby geyser]

i was using quick selection tool

[ruby geyser]

oh! i didnn’t think about it! i try to change it and see if it works!

-Thanks to both of u @vapid flume @serene coral for all ur help! i think both of ur suggestions will help! Fingers crossed 🫶🏻

[vapid flume]

You're welcome!

[sly hawk]

I'm not sure of your end goal, but I'd just start by changing the blend mode:

**Linear Dodge **is probably enouhh

[zealous meadow]

oh

its cursed

[ripe quest]

Also, please don't post questions as headers.

[zealous meadow]

Do you know how to fix it?

[ripe quest]

Probably: Select > Color Range... white. Then add a Layer Mask.

[zealous meadow]

Alright thanks and yes i wont any further

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #3 - 1772)

i really did not understand

[ripe quest]

Please share just that layer or PNG or whatever it is so I can see the actual pixels in it.

(Not the whole Photoshop Doc. Just that Layer.)

[pseudo hatch]

hey guys, i'm having some considerable pen input lag, making it unusable to draw

what could be the issue?

smoothing is turned off obviously

[ripe quest]

Windows/MacOS? Photoshop Version? Tablet Brand? Has it ever worked correctly?

[ripe quest]

Obviously? This is the most common reason. Smoothing set really high. It will lag regardless of any other consideration.

[pseudo hatch]

Windows, version 25.1.0, huion. Works just fine on software like clip studio art

The lag is also present when drawing with mouse

Regardless of the file resolution

[ripe quest]

Help > GPU Compatibility... Any issues reported there?

[pseudo hatch]

nope

[ripe quest]

Size of the document? Dimensions / resolution?

[pseudo hatch]

right now a 900x900 @ 72ppi, any document and resolution has the same issue thoigh

though*

[ivory rampart]

It’s probably smoothing percentage

[pseudo hatch]

even a square as small as 20x20 has the same lag

[pseudo hatch]

the one i find on the top bar is set at 0%

[ivory rampart]

Hmm

[ripe quest]

Don't know then. I never have any issues with my kamvas 27. Worked fine with current Huion drivers, etc.

[pseudo hatch]

yeah its def not an issue on the tablet, other drawing software works perfectly

drawing lag is also on mouse too

on photoshop only

[astral dove]

does anyone know how to make these lines coming out of an square for example?

[ripe quest]

Then its probably not the tablet. Try updating Photoshop.

[pseudo hatch]

i remember time ago you told me to disable something regarding experimental canvas and that fixed

tho there's no option such as that in this version

[pseudo hatch]

alright, will try thanks

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #3 - 1773)

[ripe quest]

You can disable Native Canvas in Preferences

[pseudo hatch]

yeah i dont seem to have that option

i'll update my photoshop just to be safe

[ripe quest]

You can probably "pull them" out with the Smudge Tool.

[quasi canyon]

I'm trying to change the background colour of this mockup but keep the logo yellow does anyone know how this is possible?

[astral dove]

uh

[ripe quest]

Feel free to describe the project a bit more. What is the size of the document? Is it Indexed Color?

[quasi canyon]

When I say background colour I mean the colour background colour of apron not the background of image

[astral dove]

got it finally 😭

[ripe quest]

Seems like there is a 'Change Color' Adjustment Layer there. Try editing that. Your Logo Here is a Smart Object that you will have to enter and edit it. Double-click on the Layer Thumbnail for that to open that into a new tab for editing.

[ripe quest]

I think you'd benefit from doing the Beginner tutorials that come with Photoshop. Help > Hands-on Tutorials... Set the fiter to "Beginner" and start with those and work your way up to the Advanced Lessons.

[quasi canyon]

I'll do that now thanks

thanks @ripe quest

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #3 - 1774)

[quasi canyon]

Also worked it out was the blend mode on multiple when I changed it to hard light I was able to see the logo without adjument layer effecting the logo

[pseudo hatch]

just tried, now it crashes as soon as i open or create any canvas

updated it to latest btw

[zealous meadow]

fixed it

[pseudo hatch]

if i disable the option it doesnt crash but still has same drawing lag

both mouse/pen

[serene coral]

any chance you can record it happening?

[pseudo hatch]

the drawing lag? sure

linees seem to be rendered in a chunklike way

its weird

[thick tangle]

does anyone have some fire particles png? pls? if yes could u send? thanks

[serene coral]

https://texturelabs.org/?ct=744&st=769

[thick tangle]

thanks

theyre nice but

it will be a problme to delete that background

[pseudo hatch]

everything appears to be laggy

even selections

[serene coral]

use blending modes

[pseudo hatch]

disabling native canvas + disabling gpu seem to slightly help

theres some screen tearing tho

what the hell going on with the lines lmao

if i for example use a software like clip studio paint to draw,

there's absolutely 0 input lag

even on 4k canvas at 300ppi

[ripe quest]

I never had any issues with my Huion Kamvas tablet. However, I have an actual GPU. Not an integrated graphics chip like you do.

[pseudo hatch]

ah i see

is photoshop heavier on the gpu compared to other programs?

[ripe quest]

If its a display tablet device, the display itself can require better graphics support because obviously it has to drive a display as well as be a drawing device.

[pseudo hatch]

nope, pen tablet

inspiroy 2 l to be exact

[ripe quest]

Check the Huion Support and FAQ pages for that device and see if they suggest any specific drivers or settings for its use with Photoshop.

Other than that, I don't know. Sorry.

[pseudo hatch]

issue's also there with standard mouse tho

its probably a rendering issue

[ripe quest]

Does your computer meet the suggested system requirements to run Photoshop?

[pseudo hatch]

yep, even dedicating 10gb ram to it

and yes i do have enough ram for the rest of the sys stuff

[ripe quest]

I don't know. Sorry. I don't have any experience with that device or know anything about your computer. Thus, its difficult to diagnose the problem.

[inner jasper]

how do i duplicate selection?

[thick tangle]

what do u mean

[inner jasper]

The selection I now have I want to copy and split it into two parts upper and lower part

while still keeping the selection/path

if that makes sense

[thick tangle]

well if i understood correctly u can save that selection... and after that u can 'cut' the selection with holding alt key and selecting what u want to delete

[inner jasper]

how do i save it?

[thick tangle]

right click it and theres save selection

u can find it then i channels

[inner jasper]

Huh how?

[thick tangle]

im gonna send a vid

gimma a min

[inner jasper]

Thank you :)

[thick tangle]

is this what u meant?

[inner jasper]

ohhh yeah something like that

[thick tangle]

when holding ALT key on ur keyboard u can - ur selection like 'cut' it

and if u want to select ur layer/channel hol ctrl + click on the layer u want

[inner jasper]

Im pretty new to ps so if i say things that doesnt make sense lmk

[inner jasper]

Yeah thats exactly what i want to do

but i didnt know how

[thick tangle]

now u know

u can do it with pretty much with any type of selection tool ... lasso,quick selection,rectangular selection etc.

[inner jasper]

and how do i make this in a path?

[thick tangle]

right click ur selection then make work path

[bronze galleon]

can generative fill create graphics ? if so is it any good ?

[thick tangle]

and it should appear there

[solemn crescent]

Hi... this is probably a stupid question, but how do I edit 'frames' in a video in photoshop... I can figure out how to see it as seperate frames....am I missing something or is it not possible?

I can't figure it out*

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @thick tangle (current: #404 - 3)

[thick tangle]

no problem

u can also make selection from work path by pressing ctrl + enter

So I want to use the clone brush tool. How do I create my own pattern from my image ? I want to clone a part of the pain of the car and use that as a pattern to clean up the clean how do i do that?

[solemn crescent]

I will take that as a "No" to my question and not that I forgot to remove the "im invisible" post-it on my forehead

[ivory rampart]

What is your question?

[ivory rampart]

You can edit single frames after converting video file into image sequence

I dont think you can import video file directly into ps

To work with videos it’s better to use premiere pro or after effects

[solemn crescent]

Oh yes, you can totally open a video file in photoshop...gives you layers etc and will even edit audio... it's just i couldn't 'see' a way to see the frames individually so i could alter them, or remove them

And THANK you! for answering...

I dont think I have photoshop pro...

[ivory rampart]

Premiere pro

[solemn crescent]

that sounds expensive I'mma broke little thing

[ivory rampart]

You can use davinci

It’s free

[solemn crescent]

ughhhhhhh I AM about brain dead! LOL

[ivory rampart]

Unless you want to work with 4k videos

[solemn crescent]

Well I have davinci and openshot... Am having some issues with my graphics card..so I thought I'd try my photoshop

I've created some animated images in my leo program and wanted to splice two of them together for a smoother run before my puter crashed for a second...

As it is, there is a 'bump' in the playback lol

[ivory rampart]

There’s also kdenlive

[solemn crescent]

I've never heard of that...is it graphics intensive?

[ivory rampart]

If i remember it’s not that heavy on gpu

It’s quite powerful

[solemn crescent]

That would be awesome!

Having to save every second or so so I dont lose progress..is a pain as it is. lol

[ivory rampart]

It is

Right driving home so will be afk for some time

[solemn crescent]

Safe travels! And Thank you!

[inner jasper]

There are some reflection and some sunray on the left side on the car that i want to remove. whats the best way to clean up the car in ps?

[teal rain]

Why when im drawing my colour doesnt appear until hide and unhide the layer. theres also weird white boxes glitching

[ripe quest]

Check the GPU. Help > GPU Compatibility... are there any errors or issues reported there?

all green ticks

i know im going to drive myself insane looking for the solution so im just going to restart

[flint basin]

does anyone know the name of this font i use to use it and i think its on photoshop does anyone know the name

[native shard]

you know you can see your recent used fonts? its saved, just check there and you will find it easily

[flint basin]

this is a new pc

and itsd been a long time

[native shard]

Arial Rounded MT Bold

[flint basin]

its not showing up

[sturdy python]

Hi guys. I am having trouble understanding perspectives. I watched a handful of tutorials and explainers about perspectives, horizons, matching vanishing points etc, but they all seem to be using naturally and easily matching photos which don't seem to be the case for me. The problem with mine is, that the photo of the room is shot on a wide-angle lens, whereas the sofa seems to have a completely different perspective.

I drew perspective lines (red for the room and blue for the sofa) - however, I might be completely misunderstanding the whole concept. What would be my next step to match them? If I match the vanishing points, my object (sofa) falls off the photo completely. But even then, the planes of the sofa don't match the planes of the background. I could use perspective warp, but the sofa isn't made of neat rectangular planes. Is there a handy method that I could use here or am I completely missing a point?

[native shard]

its a default font

[flint basin]

which means?

[native shard]

it should be there, i didnt custom download this font

[empty patrol]

Guys whats the shortcut called in keyboard shortcuts to toggle each track on and off

[ripe quest]

This is Premiere? You might want to refer to the Adobe Premiere User Guide: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/keyboard-shortcuts.html

[empty patrol]

whoops wrong discord

sorry

❤️

[flint basin]

does it matter if its on regular bold or italic etc?

[ripe quest]

Does it matter? Bold is a thicker typeface and italic is skewed/slanted so they will look very different.

[flint basin]

yes but the font am searching for which is arial rounded mt bold is not showing up

[ripe quest]

I guess it depends on where you getting the font. Certain fonts will contain bold and italic variations.

[pseudo hatch]

disabling gpu for some reason seems to help it slightly

its weird

[flint basin]

its a font supposed to alr be on photoshop

[ripe quest]

Not sure why. You don't really have a GPU, do you?

[pseudo hatch]

eh, its a laptop with a discrete dedicated gpu

a mx330

not the best but should be able to handle basic drawing

[ripe quest]

You have an integrated graphics chip, no?

[pseudo hatch]

atleast better than a cpu igpu

ye

igpu somehow seems to work better than the dedicated lmao

idk how thats even possible

[ripe quest]

There is a setting in the Edit > Preferences > Tech Previews.... "Older GPUs" checkbox. You can try ticking that and restarting the app. See if it helps.

[pseudo hatch]

yep tried

for some reaso checking disable native canvas also crashes when keeping enabled dedicated gpu

doesnt crash if i disable gpu

[wild ginkgo]

how was this effect made?

[pseudo hatch]

weird thing is gimp and other software has absolutely 0 issues

work straight off the bat

[ripe quest]

Yeah. You've mentioned that several times now.

[ripe quest]

And as I've said. I never had problems with using my Huion tablet with Photoshop.

[ivory rampart]

I'm using huion hs610 and have no issues

[ripe quest]

Could be a custom brush and painted. Probably the easiest solution.

[dusky kayak]

hi!!!! i upgraded my photoshop from like 2020 to 2024, why does the select marquee tools always lock onto my mouse after clicking down unless i slow down my mouse while still holding it down then releasing ?? has anyone else experienced this how do i turn this feature AWFFF!!!

[pseudo hatch]

yeah its def not an issue with the tablet

[wild ginkgo]

thank you so much!

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #3 - 1775)

[ripe quest]

Its possible newer versions of Photoshop don't play well with your integrated graphics chip.

[dusky kayak]

when it locks on it wont stop until i click my mouse agiain. im using razer blade 15 laptop maybe it could be a laptop gesture option possibly idk but i have gestures turned off

[pseudo hatch]

yeah

i might try a cs6 at this point lol

[dusky kayak]

here r my preferences is there anything i can change !

[ripe quest]

I don't know what this means. I haven't experienced that. Can you record your screen so we can see it happening? Or you could also file a bug report on the Photoshop Community Forum.

[dusky kayak]

FUAWWKKK

1st and 3rd time it worked normaly but 2nd and 4th it just locks onto my mouse even after releasing and wont place select until i click my mouse again

there is not rly any way i can show it lol

but i need it GONE !!!!!!

[ripe quest]

This is a GPU / real-time rendering issue. Make sure you have update-to-drivers for whatever graphics device you have.

[dusky kayak]

OMG RLY

[ripe quest]

There is no reason to behave that way here.

[dusky kayak]

wait just to be clear ur not judging that based off how the gif i recorded stamps the mouse right? that wa sjust off the gif capture

[dusky kayak]

?????

is there any way to see which drivers photoshop uses so i know which ones to update ? :)

[ripe quest]

I'm basing it off the glitchiness that is appearing in the thing you posted. Are you saying that is the result of it being a GIF or is that how it actually appears on the screen?

[dusky kayak]

is expressing emotion informally prohibited here 😭

[dusky kayak]

yess the visual glitchiness is just from the gif capture

the actual problem is just the way the select tool locks onto my mouse

[ripe quest]

I don't understand this question. Help > GPU Compatibility... should show you which device you're using. Then go to the manufacturer's website and see if there are any updates for that GPU. If there are, you can install them. That is a simple thing that could be done to see if the issue is resolved.

If not, you can try Disabling the Native Canvas in Preferences... or using the "Older GPU Option" if its older hardware.

[dusky kayak]

oooo let me try that!!! i will see if my drivers have any updates available first tho also

[ripe quest]

No. Its not. But when people start replying in ALL CAPS IT TENDS TO GET A BIT ANNOYING, YOU KNOW!? :)

[dusky kayak]

[native shard]

is it logically possible to remove the text "KINGS" in this image, i have been trying but the background behind the text is looking absolutely trash

anyone here got some cool ideas or tricks that could make this a success, i am trying to practice with hardest photos possible recently yet im getting stuck in the most simplest thing such as removing text

[unreal basin]

would be very tedious

[native shard]

[unreal basin]

is this the high quality version, or a screen shot of it I'm assuming screenshot.

[native shard]

idk if there is any difference

but yeah this is the downloaded version

[unreal basin]

could just be my eyes. let me give a go at it to see.

[native shard]

[teal rain]

when i try to draw and this white box keeps appearing

[sly hawk]

For one, that res is terrible. - There are better ones online

You could use Gen Fill to remove it, but you'd need to decide what to put in it's place....

[pale knot]

how do i edit 360 degree image? the 3d menue is gone and i cant edit my 360 degree image.

[vapid flume]

Yes, the 3D features have been announced as terminated for a few years now, They've been removeing them little by little.
In which way did you want to edit your image? It could be a case of using another (readily available) program instead.

[pale knot]

i need to be able to remove myself from photos. and no im not using other softwares. i have no money to buy them.

[vapid flume]

I was talking about free software, but here you go

what prevents you from using the normal retouching features of Photoshop, why does it have to be 3D?

[pale knot]

i have used adobe so much and dont wanna put countles hours on learnign new softwares.

why removing a feature many people have been using? seriously!!!!

[vapid flume]

I don't know, I don't work at Adobe 🙂

To be honest it was very buggy (and yes, I used it a lot!)

[pale knot]

typical bigh tech company. hey lets remove a important feature and force them to pay more.

[pale knot]

il try to downgrade to the oldest version available on creative cloud.

[vapid flume]

Good call. I guess you won't need my help?

[pale knot]

i got it to work. case is closed.

[tacit basin]

Hello team !

I would like simply make this text more aesthetic by removing all of this big gaps but leaving it "square". Any solutions pls ?

[remote vapor]

You can use Hyphanate. Just click on paragraph.

[tacit basin]

Yooo bro thks u

[vapid flume]

you got 4 options: Flush left, flush right, centred and justified (justifié a gauche, a droite et centré+ centré justifié)
The problem is that you have a very narrow column, and it's often quite difficult to properly use it

https://www.web-creatif.net/les-enrichissements-typographiques-iv-la-lalignement-des-textes/

[tacit basin]

La france 🇫🇷

[vapid flume]

1- as offered by @remote vapor you can hyphenate (trait d'union). But beware as it could be horrible if they're too many of them. Other solution is to play with the space between words (spacing) or the space between letters (kerning)
Photoshop doesn't allow to automate that, you would need Illustrator or InDesign

[vapid flume]

Pas forcement

Anyhow, in Photoshop, the help is here!
https://helpx.adobe.com/be_fr/photoshop/using/formatting-paragraphs.html

[remote vapor]

I think that I should take a break. I was certain that I'm responding to a question on the Illustrator discord.😴

[vapid flume]

Don't worry, the panel is the same 🙂

I don't use InDesign very often but for that kind of things, it's really is best. as you can declare a % of spacing to fit the line when justified, like 95% to 105% of the line. I also sometimes prefer ragged (flush left). Sometimes I feel a justified text is a bit old-school. Although in that case, the ratio column width VS font size is so short that it wouldn't feel nice either

I guess it's a question of preference

[flat parcel]

Hey, do I really get Photoshop cheaper in this bundle than buying Photoshop alone? Is there some catch? Is it full version of Photoshop?

[vapid flume]

No, there is no catch! I used to have this one until I upgraded to the full CC...

In fact it's a long running promotion, it was supposed to be temporary, but they never really cancelled it

[flat parcel]

Because full version is like 24$ or something. Thanks

[vapid flume]

Yes, I don't think anybody buys the standard version (maybe it comes with more storage space though, I haven't checked)
But the photography plan definitely is a bargain!

[somber mantle]

Is there a way to instantly desaturate a layer? Im trying to make like 30 layers just black and white and im too lazy to apply it to each layer lol

And they are sepeated so i cant just apply one adjustment layer to all

[willow sphinx]

You can group them in a folder and apply an adjustments layer to the group

[somber mantle]

I would do that but they're each in their own groups already

and each group has other stuff i dont want to be affected

[somber mantle]

the clipping mask doesnt work either because the layer im trying to apply it on is also a clipping mask so it apllies to both layers

[somber mantle]

Okay so apparently it is Ctrl + U, took me forever to find

[stuck kestrel]

Good eve all! I am new to sublimination printing. I am needing to make this drawing print ready for sub. I am pretty lost as i usually have only done vinyl slap ons for shirts etc. Is it even possible to do so with this drawing? thanks

[river vapor]

how do i make a logo like this

[willow sphinx]

If I where to try to make something like that I would use a brush, or I would create the shape with the lasso tool and fill it in. There is probably a better way though.

[harsh dock]

How do i replicate the left side of this piece?

kind of like an equalizer waveform type of thing going on, Idk what to call it but I want to be able to replicate it

[native shard]

lol how do i get them

sorry for late response, it was like 12:21 am when you replied

[native shard]

this is pretty sick btw

thanks for the help man, i appreciate it 💪 ❤️

generative fill is a pretty time saving option and good idea!

[willow sphinx]

These tutorials might help get that effect

https://youtu.be/ouviTuZUB4E?si=-uHK_4t-8J9ovBw-

https://youtu.be/sVSq8EsZ5Ek?si=LJK9cjHBsJ9W0MMH

[harsh dock]

the cutoffs for the glitch effect seems too sharp and clear of a cut than what the picture im trying to replicate has

the first one might help though

[willow sphinx]

There is probably a better tutorial out there

[stuck kestrel]

Anyone know how to make it to so this can be screen printed (sublimination?) I am new to this kind. I am basically seeing if i can seperate each color, i don't know if its possible with this though

[harsh dock]

If anyone can chime in on this and help me out I'd greatly appreciate it

[small scaffold]

how can i crop this single layer? when i choose the crop tool, it crops the entire canvas, but i just want to crop a single layer

Alright, lemme try thank you

[rich ridge]

Is there a setting to enable viewing the brush tip on the cursor, and not just the brush outline? My Google-fu is either failing me tonight or I'm looking for a setting that doesn't exist.

[willow sphinx]

Preferences > Cursors, and under Painting Cursors, select "Full Size Brush"

[rich ridge]

So I had that enabled. In this image for example I've used the brush on the left, and the right is the brush outline. But what I really want is to see a preview of whats on the left inside the brush outline when using it.

[willow sphinx]

I'm not sure that's even possible

[rich ridge]

Yea that's what I was worried about. I couldn't find anything so I figured I'd ask here.

[willow sphinx]

There might be a plugin that adds that feature out there somewhere

[serene coral]

you want to have the preview of what it will look like after you make a stroke/point? sorry, not a feature in Photoshop 🫠

[river vapor]

how do i make this white

[sly hawk]

Google 'turn black clothes white photoshop' @river vapor

[river vapor]

none worked

[ivory rampart]

Ctrl+i

[river vapor]

i can barely see the details now

[sly hawk]

The quality/resolution of the image is dreadful - which doesn't help.

There are LOADS of videos with guidance on how to change colours - I find it had to believe that NONE of them worked.

Anyway, here's a clip above of it working,.

[ivory rampart]

Just send psd

[river vapor]

I lied I just wanted someone experienced like you to do it so its easier for me sorry

Thanks tho

[sly hawk]

I already closed the file anyway.

[river vapor]

Darn it

[harsh dock]

bumping this!!

[thick tangle]

u can use smudge tool

[sly hawk]

Not with his hands in that position 🙂 - Unless he's serving you the guitar on a plate.

Have you tried using Gen fil, and then fixing it up/masking?

[paper summit]

I mean, his hands aren't in the right position to hold a guitar

[eager heron]

No, I don't know what gen fil are 🤣

But that picture you have there also work!
But the picture is for my fathers band, I'm doing photos and videos for the band so they can post it on social medias etc. So it's important for the clothes to be the same as everyone else in the picture. If this guy would wear that jacket, It would be a little "weird" for the actually picture 😄

[eager heron]

Ahh, Alright, Then i guess i would have to redo the whole picture with his hands and etc

[sly hawk]

Wild suggestion but if they're in a band, why don't you get a picture of them holding their instruments? Sounds like trying to photoshop one in is a bit wierd if I'm honest?

[thick tangle]

@harsh dock u can try something like this... play with it more ,change the colors, add some glow, add some effects . blur perhaps ... idk u can try 😅

[eager heron]

haha yeah i know. The problem is that, I'm not there when the pictures are taken. My father took these pictures. And all of them exept my father is super stressed to change their clothes after the "performance"

[eager heron]

But do you think you maybe could help me with placing a guitar in hes hands? 🙏

[thick tangle]

whats the best way to blend something to dark sky ... ? cos when i try it doesnt fit or i cant see it...

[sly hawk]

You're best off showing what you're trying to do/blend. - share any pics?

[sly hawk]

Not really. It's fair to go back and tell them to take a better picture. - Learning photoshop, retouching, design etc is also knowing about when to push back and avoid wasting your time as well as your clients (aka dad) time.

[thick tangle]

i want it to be in a backrgound like a silhouette fyling far away in the back

[sly hawk]

---

It's like you could fudge it, but it would look ridiculous since the person in the image doesn't have his hands in the right place

[sly hawk]

That's cool. - Your only problem is that the dragon would be darker than the sky - you have it LIGHTER

[thick tangle]

well i had it like this

but when i make it darker it blends so much its invisible

[eager heron]

I know, I didn’t ask them to take with their instruments. He doesn’t know that I’m trying to do this either. I roughy the whole picture could be better 😄

[sly hawk]

ok, so so you wanted to make it almost illuminated by some glow from the ground below.

[thick tangle]

wait James can i DM u whole pic? soo u would understand better?

...

[sly hawk]

I think if you want it illuminated more, from the ground below (since moonlight just cause it to be a **black **shadow), you'd need a reason to it to be lit up from below, in which case you'd need some basic texture/legs, scales etc...

[thick tangle]

oh okay i'll try that

[thick tangle]

James.... somthing ike this?

or too much?

[thick tangle]

hmm... thats not looking bad

[stuck kestrel]

I kinda get what you are trying for

[sly hawk]

Bang on. - Good call there! - I'm almost annoyed I didn't suggest the same myself

[stuck kestrel]

haha thank you!

Anything i can do to help!

[thick tangle]

should i also lower the oppacity of the drgon?

[sly hawk]

Absolutely not. 🙂

You can't have stars shining through it's wings/neck.

[thick tangle]

😅 ...em okay

[sly hawk]

It would end up looking like a little feeble translucent moth looking thing.

[stuck kestrel]

Yea, might look like a see through dragon then

post another pic of what you are trying to achieve again 🙂

[thick tangle]

idk if its only me but still it doesnt seems to fit

[thick tangle]

k

[stuck kestrel]

thanks 🙂

[thick tangle]

im gonna dm u the whole pic if thats alr

[stuck kestrel]

Ok sounds good

[atomic mica]

how to remove green pixels?

[stuck kestrel]

@thick tangle

[mental kiln]

color replace, but it will only have black pixels, there is no way to remove it

[serene coral]

remove, hide or replace?

[sly hawk]

What on earth happened to the image?

this mostly works except the subjects face!

[thick tangle]

uhh nice

[stuck kestrel]

Or not.

Just trying to help, hope you find someone to get what you need 😄

[crystal flower]

I drag a full sized image and it shows up like this, any help!

also it lags my pc when scaling it up

[manic fable]

anyone have any good crash courses to get started with visual design?

[vivid axle]

Does Photoshop work with touchscreens? I can’t use a stylus long before my hand hurts. Arthritis.

Also: a Fresco question. Is it possible to make tapered brush strokes using finger rather than stylus pressure?

[ripe quest]

On iPad it does. On desktop, its going to require a drawing device.

[twin bronze]

as far as I know, no you can't

[ripe quest]

I'm assuming you're asking about Fresco on desktop? Because it was specifically designed for the tablet (though it is available on desktop as well).

[vivid axle]

No I’m using Fresco on iPad

[twin bronze]

because ipad itself does not have pressure sensitivity build in, it takes the pressure data from the pen

[vivid axle]

I do have the pen. Just bothers my hand to use it a lot.

[twin bronze]

I see, I don t think there is any way to send pressure data using your finger

[vivid axle]

I’ve made man paintings using just fingers. But yeah, that’s what I miss — no pressure sensitivity with fingers

many*

[crystal flower]

help me

[vivid axle]

Also, is full photoshop available on ipad? Or just Elements?

[twin bronze]

btw technically you can do this, but desktop ps is not optimized for it

[vivid axle]

I have a surface pro. I think i’ve tried with limited success

Some PS elements respond well to touch input. Some not.

[twin bronze]

ps desktop is not available on ipad, i pad version is not the same with elements version i think

[vivid axle]

Thanks. That’s what I figured.

[ripe quest]

There is no "touch" interface for Ps on Desktop like there is for Illustrator.

[vivid axle]

So people typically use a Wacom tablet or such to draw with PS?

[twin bronze]

typically

[twin bronze]

i think they will make one

[crystal flower]

My image shows up like this when I drag and drop and when I scale it up it lags my pc out any help?

[ripe quest]

You think they will, eh? Well, we'll see I guess. :)

[ripe quest]

When the document canvas is enormous and the image you're importing is significantly smaller, this is what happens. You should check the size of your document. Its probably set to the wrong unit type, e.g. 2000 centimeters instead of 2000 pixels. This is a common error.

[twin bronze]

any leaks?

[ripe quest]

Even if I knew, I wouldn't be able to say anything about it. :)

[crystal flower]

ohh alright thank you!!

On Fresco: is there a way to download more live brushes? I have tons of pixel bridges courtesy of kyle, but the app doesn’t have a comparable button for downloading live brushes.

brushes* not bridges lol

I’d particularly like to”lighter” oil brushes. Less crusty, less impasto, creamier.

[twin bronze]

I don't think there is any way since fresco does not have brush making functionality and ps does not support the live brush tech

[vivid axle]

Thanks. That was my guess. Th watercolor brushes are awesome. The oil brushes dig too much for my taste. Anyway, onward. Thanks.

I’ve already turned the couch to black, but now what I want to do is change the pillow color to white, anyone have any suggestions on how I can achieve this?

I wasn’t really confused with turning the couch black as the couch was more or less one color, however the pillows are multicolored

[flat parcel]

Create different layers for couch and pillows and color them separately

[celest delta]

Yea that’s what I planned on doing, but because the pillow is multi colored, how do I make it all white? Like one way I thought of would look like the whole pillow is white and the patterns wouldn’t be visible, and the other way would be white but the patterns are still visible (visible but white colored)

[winter lichen]

do you guys answer java questions

the app

[willow sphinx]

you can use adjustment layers like "Hue/Saturation" or "Levels" to desaturate or lighten the colors selectively. You could also try using blending modes like "Screen" or "Overlay" with a white layer

[celest delta]

Oh okay, cus I’m not really sure of how I would match the blue to the tan when I turn them white

Like the hue of white that comes from the two

Cus it’s going to be different

[willow sphinx]

You can always adjust it until you get the desired colors

[wild ginkgo]

how do we create this type of cloud/smoke? I tried achieving it by using custom brushes but it never looks the same

[celest delta]

Yeah, I understand that but I don’t really know how I’m supposed to individualize the colors affected by the filters or adjustments

[wild ginkgo]

the ones I make end up looking like this

[manic fable]

.

[willow sphinx]

To match the original image you can try blurring some parts of the image, or lowering the opacity of some parts, there also might be a different brush out there that matches better.

But the clouds you made are larger and thicker than the originals so maybe try matching them better

[willow sphinx]

Like so the adjustments only affect one layer?

[wild ginkgo]

thank you! I'll try

[willow sphinx]

Np

[willow sphinx]

Clicking that button makes it so it only effects the layer below it

[limpid fog]

does anyone know how to switch the color of the from white

[willow sphinx]

Can I see your full screen

[limpid fog]

sure

[willow sphinx]

Is that a shape?

[limpid fog]

yea i used the rectangular marquee tool

[willow sphinx]

Alr so click the rectangle tool and then the options should appear on top of your screen

[limpid fog]

thats all it shows

[willow sphinx]

Oh I see, I thought you made a shape

[flat parcel]

You resterized the layer so you need to use layer effects or create new shape

Or paint over the existing layer with brush.

[limpid fog]

i was able to switch the color is there a way to make it not transparent

[flat parcel]

Its the Opacity and Fill value above layers

[limpid fog]

no it wasnt ty

also 1 more question sorry

how do i switch the colors of these

[flat parcel]

Click twice on layer and go to Color Overlay

[limpid fog]

Thank you

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @flat parcel (current: #852 - 1)

[celest delta]

No. Notice in the colored pic, the pillows are multicolored. If I were to make the pillow white colored, the areas where there are those different colors, would appear as different shade of white, and the design that is created from the colors would still be visible. I want the pillow to look like a regular plain white pillow

[loud moat]

Question for the people who do vector stuff within Photoshop- I want a rectangle that has a skew of 2 degrees, but I want it to remain a rectangle and not turn into a shape path. I want to be able to resize the rectangle on the X-axis whilst keeping that 2 degrees skew. Is this possible at all?

[astral dove]

How can i make this blur out like the other one?

[loud moat]

Do you mean the anti-aliasing on the brush strokes that were drawn?

[willow sphinx]

You can try finding an image of a white pillow and use a clipping mask to change the pillows white

[astral dove]

Uh yes

[loud moat]

It looks like you're likely using the pencil tool, so instead of using the pencil tool, try using the brush tool

If you draw a line via the brush tool, it will have anti-aliasing applied, unlike the pencil tool which won't

[astral dove]

Oh thx

[stuck kestrel]

is this what you are wanting

Or did i read wrong

[harsh dock]

Bump!

[sly hawk]

Didn't someone already provide help on this?

[sly hawk]

sorry if this was already answered, but to screen print, you'll need to make it into a max of maybe 3 colour vector file.
