[chilly grove]

I tried to make lamp glow did I do good job at it?

Feedback and tips would be greatly appreciated

[radiant sparrow]

I took a look just now and, WOW! I will try replicating this using Adobe Photoshop 2023

[ripe quest]

Should be pretty much the same.

[rotund prairie]

This is the photo in question, as you can see under the light and next to the person, there's a blurry figure (me 🤣) it's quite a dark background so was hoping there'd be a way of relatively simply blending it to at least make it less noticeable

[chilly grove]

Can anyone make the photo night scene and the lamp turned on

[kind oyster]

how can i make it look like theres ligh coming from the lighthouse shining to the left and expanding but instead of it being light its text? that gets wider as it goes

[river otter]

using layer styles and layer masks can help achieve this effect. First, create a text layer with the text you want to appear as the light. Then, apply a gradient overlay layer style to the text layer, setting the gradient to start from the lighthouse and expand to the left. Finally, use a layer mask to hide the text outside of the light beam area. You can adjust the opacity and color of the text layer if you wan’t.

[kind oyster]

can you show yourself doing this im really bad at reading instructions sorry

[chilly grove]

Does anyone know how to remove reflection?

If so can you help me please

[bronze sapphire]

Does anyone know how I can best remove shadows from an image? I pictures from a Wonka photoshoot back but some of them have a shadow from my hat covering my eyes.

This is the pic for reference

[vocal shale]

You Can Do It Manually Or Use Generative Fill

If You Don't Have The Photoshop Version You Can Try The Web Version

https://firefly.adobe.com/upload/inpaint

[bronze sapphire]

What prompt would I use to do it with Gen fill? Just "remove shadow"?

[vocal shale]

Yeah

Select The Shadow Part And Use Prompt " Remove Shadow "

[modern bane]

Hello. What is the name of this effect? (undistorted letters of different heights) If you also have a video how to do it, please share it.

[nocturne cairn]

You can easily achieve this look by altering the Baseline Shift

[bronze sapphire]

Gen fill isn't looking so great...any suggestions on how to do it manually?

[modern bane]

Thanks!

[nocturne cairn]

A big benefit of this method is that the text is still one piece of text. In other words, you don’t have to have a whole bunch of individual words that are only one character long.

[plucky zinc]

Even after zooming out the canvas remains in zoomed in position. Even the zoom out is showing in the navigator but the canvas is the same. I have to restart to fix this. Need help.

[pine latch]

can anyone help me

[ripe quest]

What is it that you need help with? If you have a specific question about how to do something with Photoshop, please post it here.

[hushed niche]

Hi, I suspect a problem with your GPU, make sure your drivers are up to date.

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cc-gpu-card-faq.html

I recommend to post in the community forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem/ct-p/ct-photoshop?page=1&sort=latest_replies&lang=all&tabid=all .
Try to set the status bar, on bottom left of the document window, to GPU info, and report what says when Ps misbehaves there.
Also go to help>GPU information and screen capture it.

[grave cloud]

Hi, how can I remove this blue auto layer detection/selection it's broken

[odd geyser]

its not a photoshop but lightroom
does anybody know why is this happening?

[hushed niche]

Hi, in the Move tool Option Bar, click on the gear, and uncheck « Show layer bounds on hover » it gives you the limits of the layer when you hover in the layers panel.

[hushed niche]

Hi! When you adjust the curve, the tones of the image change, and the histogram of their distribution reflects it.

Thank you so much

Heya folks, I have a question regarding canvas removal. The canvas I chose was to big basically and I want to cut off some parts of it on left and right side.

Any idea what I need to do to achieve this :p

[thorn gate]

hi guys! im trying to make this circle into more of a translucent orb, currently have a lowered opacity fill layer (soft light blend) and a masked lens flare (color dodge blend). anyone has tips or suggestions it would be appreciated!!

[thorn gate]

use the cRop tool

[blissful hemlock]

ty ill give it a try!

[grave cloud]

you can add some light inner glow to it

[blissful hemlock]

Is there any special method to make it just stretch out to left and right? seeing that when I drag the frame it grows in all corners

[thorn gate]

hold ctrl while u stretch

[blissful hemlock]

ty! clearing the ratio did the trick!

[thorn gate]

inner glow has potential ty

@blissful hemlock what yall think is this more orb-y

[elfin dawn]

I would make the bottom part a lil bit more blurry, like you could add a mask and use the light black gradient for it

(or you could try the other sides ofc)

[thorn gate]

il give it a shot ty

please provide the image so i can see the example

[graceful sonnet]

There's no InDesign discord, so maybe someone here knows - how can I see the sequential page number, IE, I have "68 pages in 35 spreads" but the number shown is the page number I assigned (below, C2, C3, C4 etc). It's because InDesign is telling me it inserted a blank page into my printing template ("see page 65") I need to find out which page is "page 65"

obviously I'm just going to count backwards from 68 for this one but if it happens in the future with page 400 out of 1000 im gonna be out of luck

[sly hawk]

Are those not master pages you're looking at?

[graceful sonnet]

They are not

As you can see, those are pages C2, C3, and C4, where pages C2 and C3 are based on Parent B (indicated in the corner).

[graceful sonnet]

oh hm. kind of gross but that's a doable workaround (undo all of my numbering sections)

thank you!

[sly hawk]

(I'm not in front of my computer at the moment - so I'm just stabbing in the dark)

You SHOULD be able to see each page number in the pages panel

[graceful sonnet]

I do see them, but it's the ones I've assigned (section C, page 2)

indesign still insists on referring to it as "page 65" in the error

🙄

[dreamy oracle]

I am completly redoing this logo I made for a podcast (Middle pic). I am going with a neon kind of theme since it standsout compared to what's being streamed in Sweden.

The issue is I can't really find a mic like that that I could use for my project, do I recreate the mic or what do I do.

If you have other Ideas on how I could do it, lemme know

[native shard]

Mate, you could draw it or just create a simple microphone symbol or take it from a free "custom" emoji websites

or...if you have an AI subscription ask them to create a microphone logo and just Object select and take it away and use it.

[sly hawk]

Are you saying that you previously made the Debaaura one, but want to instead make one like the Neon Tube?

[pure wolf]

what does it means after a shot is done and the camera is tilted upwards or downwards its surely a non verbal signal to something

[sly hawk]

What on earth are you talking about? 🙂

[pure wolf]

after a few shot the camera guy tilts the camera up why does he do that ?

[sly hawk]

Here's how you can get started if you're new 🙂

[dreamy oracle]

Exactly

[dreamy oracle]

What the hell, that's mad. I appreciate it. Yea I am new I have aw course in High School called Media Production so we make all kinds of Meda forms

Like Logos, Articles, Podcats or whatever. But thanks again man

[sly hawk]

Cool. Good Luck with it.

[dreamy oracle]

Wiat another thing, I dont have Adobe Stock could you send me the image you downloaded

[dreamy oracle]

Nvm, but is there anyway to add another text?

[civic egret]

Hello all

Anybody know how to get rid of the white lines around the guns?

Selected the guns with Select Subject and it did a pretty good job, but sadly, there are still white lines around them

[round cedar]

hello my stamp tool is not working i set the stamp on a patern and its not doing anything when i try, if i go on my face it does copy it

[sly hawk]

A few options. - Did you do it using a mask?

[sly hawk]

Hey, did you get my DM earlier?

[sly hawk]

Probably 'cloning' the wrong layer?

[civic egret]

Nope just the selection tool

[sly hawk]

Can you please share the original assets here? - I'll have a quick try 🙂 - or at least the image with the guns

[civic egret]

you mean the whole photoshop file?

[sly hawk]

No, not specifically. -

Just image that you 'cut' the guns out from

(Unless it's multiple images?)

@civic egret

Oh wait... - it's from the Jonn Wick poster

[civic egret]

well

seems like it works now

I had the wrong image format

[torn condor]

How to get this shadow?

@civic egret take a use of minimum effect.

Or you can shift selection by 1px.

And make new mask.

[pure fulcrum]

Does anyone know what kind of AI service is required to get the images like we have in this insta account? https://www.instagram.com/portraitxai?igsh=czdpMmoyc3pvNmFl

[solar ledge]

Hey, Is there a way to create ribbon brushes out of images like you can in Clip Studio Paint? (Not just regular greyscale brushes, but brushes with color and everything from an image that is converted to a material with correction and what not, if anyone is unfamiliar I can show you what I mean). And if not, where can I suggest this feature to Adobe?

To go a little further in deatail, with the brush style I am talking about: I mean a brush like this screenshot. There's a lot of settings , but under the stroke menu there is a checkbox for "Ribbon" that basically turns your image into an ongoing line you can draw (so long as your original image is seamless at the edges) and it has an autocorrection to stabalize the line while you curve it around things. The material is added in the brush tip menu (the menu I am showing) but yeah. Essentially I find myself importing my images into CSP just to add a few things I use this feature for and I just wish that PS had it (if it doesn't) so I can just keep all of my workflow in one app.

(Asking again because last time I asked my question got buried and noone responded)

[dawn lynx]

Hello, I'm looking for some help with AI based up scaling and enhancing photos. I understand Photoshop has an AI based editor, I'm wondering if anyone has experience with any other AI based programs or tools. Here's a photo for example of how much it needs to be upscaled by.

[sly hawk]

If you're trying to get a crappy photo to look good, it really won't ever happen.

A good one to try out is "Upscayl"

Your image though looks like a photo from the 70's, so I don't think anything you do will make it look amazing...

(Note that the dimensions on the upscaled image is dramatically larger)

[little warren]

guys is it possible to put a layout for text like in in design?

Thank you for your suggestion!

Hi, could you elaborate on what exactly you are after? One can set up files as psdt template files, one can have styles sheets in a document. See: https://youtu.be/jXLp7MPX5lE?si=NtBUVQFbuTB6eLYx

[tawny pecan]

A gradient doesn't really work because it's a complex-shaped mask, this was just a zoomed in portion where it appears flat. For some reasons, a very feathered brush still produces these hard edges, and blurring them doesn't smooth the edges out, it just kinda blurs the colors of the edge into each other a little bit.

[hushed niche]

Hi, with the cropped screenshot, we can’t see what is the blending mode that you use? Can you show the brush used? Did you try a standard rounded one? It looks like there’s a pattern in yours, on top left.

Was it present on the original file? iIRC, in the neural filters, there is a jpg artefact removal tool: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/quick-actions/jpeg-artifacts-removal.html

[tawny pecan]

The blending mode is normal and the weird pattern seems to be an artifact from the recording, it's not there on my screen. The Brush is a normal round one. The default one.

[hushed niche]

Did you try to reset the brush? Does it do in in another document ? Without seeing the layer stack, it is difficult to understand what’s going on.

[rancid edge]

hey y'all im using photoshop beta and i was wondering wether i can import a 3d asset GLB format onto photoshop beta, im doing an alternative poster for lord of the rings so its a 3d ring

cuz i tried and it file isnt readble by photoshop

[rancid edge]

?

[snow girder]

hii i have an specific question

so i used to use clip studio paint and there was a "erase alond the edge" eraser you could get

is there a way to do that in photoshop?

this is what i mean

i want to be able to use a sort of a clipping mask so i dont have to erase it manually yk

[round cedar]

nope it works on the same layer on a different spot

[pure wolf]

hey can someone help me pick a background music for a video i have no music sense i am struggling with it

[vapid flume]

OK, fair enough I didn't have the whole picture... Would a large amount of feather work?

[lucid crane]

Probably best to ask in the Premier pro discord

[tawny pecan]

Even at max feather on the brush, it adds to the existing hard-edged blob to make it bigger. There's no way to blend the opacity better. It's so weird. It happens even with a normal brush alone on a new document, no masks or anything.

[pure wolf]

ik i asked everywhere copy pasting that in every server

[vapid flume]

Not on the brush, on the mask

[little warren]

do you guys know any good designers atleast 3 that uses photos to create an artwork?

like photo manipulation, collages, posters etc?

[lucid crane]

As a start, you’ll probably want to post a link to the video. Also best stick to PP discord and not flood all the servers.

i cant find the artists name in pinterest :c

[vapid flume]

I try to remember their names. Do you look for digital artists, or also artists from past decades and /or people who use non-digital techniques?

[little warren]

like designers who create artworks using images

ill show some examples

[vapid flume]

I know what you mean I think

[little warren]

it can be anything

[vapid flume]

I have lot sof name of people who use non-digital techniques, less so for digital artists

[little warren]

yea

[vapid flume]

Also do you search for people who are well-known in the art world, or just good people (we all know that it isn't necssarily the same)

[little warren]

but i prefer if its mostly made using digital techniques

oh alr

[little warren]

btw how do u find artists in pinterest or what sites do u usually use to find other designers/artists

most of the time when you click the profile of the design created

it shows that they have no work made

[vapid flume]

that's what I do. Pinterest is only right for 2 things: When you know what you are looking for (upload an image as a pin, into one of your board and see what the "suggestions" come up with, or when you just want to see things and don't mind the unexpected

[little warren]

oh i see

i use behance and pinterest

i wonder if instagram is useful and if there are other more good sites to gatekeep

[vapid flume]

Otherwise look for that website

it's a repository of digital (mostly) creators. You''ll always find their credits there

btw just a quick question but when did u get serious about graphic designing in your highschool years?

I have 1 year left and i'm off to university

[vapid flume]

Forgive me for I am not a native English speaker, but for me gatekeeping is not something to be proud of 🙂

[little warren]

its okay

[little warren]

weird

i thought gatekeeping was about saving information

that can be useful to you

i didn't know it meant that way

[vapid flume]

The reason all these resources are available (and the reason why a Photoshop Discord server is a thing) is that we thrive not to gatekeep 🙂

[little warren]

true

[vapid flume]

The industry is always accused of gatekeeping imformation: Not on my watch!

[little warren]

xd

thats so real though

good think we are in the modern years which means less gatekeep

[little warren]

or get a 3d mmodel of the ring

[rancid edge]

Yeah but I can’t import it onto photoshop

3D stuff on photoshop is being discontinued aparantly

[vapid flume]

I am already answering in the Question channels 🙂

[vapid flume]

It's been slowly discontinued for MANY years

I would say at least 3 years and maybe more. They keep removing features

[rancid edge]

Yeah I know u said it’s basically no possible but th thing is I’m making a poster on photoshop

Not a 3D model

It’s a poster for lord of the rings movie

[vapid flume]

See what I answered on the questions thread, no need to answer twice

If you just need to visualise it . as in front face, send me the 3D file (publicly) and I'll export it for you.
I'll do only one view so choose wisely (including the lighting 🙂 )

[little warren]

what if you find an image of a ring

and photoshop it to look like the ring fromm the movie

[rancid edge]

Oh yeah I could do that but depends on how long it’s take but I’m try

Thanks

there u go

[vapid flume]

Any particular lighting?

[rancid edge]

Oh yeah no meant frontal like

Thnks so much for doing this

[vapid flume]

This is what I got

Let me ray trace it for accuracy

[rancid edge]

U see the ring like a circle

Like that kinda a bit tilted to the front so h can see the letering

[vapid flume]

WE have a wide angle, with a ring that is quite close to the camera

the lighting is soft and multi directional

[rancid edge]

Oh yeah perfect maybe a bit brighter so the lettering pops out more ?

[vapid flume]

That's the issue with 3D (and one that you would have to deal with in Photoshop when it worked as well)

[rancid edge]

Oh yeah ok

Can u send me the file then

Thnks so much

[rancid edge]

Perfect

Thanks

[vapid flume]

Hold on, little horse!
I need to render it first. It may take a few minutes! 😂

[rancid edge]

Oh yeah right my bad

[vapid flume]

Before we commit, which size (in pixels)

Don't be too greedy because it will take longer to render

[rancid edge]

Ofc as long as it’s like a bit higher than 1080p

It should be fine cuz I’m be using it in big

[vapid flume]

see tthe dimensions on the right and let me know if it's enough for you

300 dpi since it's a poster, I assume it's for printing

[rancid edge]

Yeah it is

[vapid flume]

so don't forget to set your photoshop file to 300 dpi as well 😉

[rancid edge]

Ima print it in 61/92cm

[ripe quest]

Sorry, Sandrine. Didn't realize you were actually making one.

[rancid edge]

Yep I have it preset

[vapid flume]

Let me know the size you need in pixels, I don't want to do the maths now, it's sunday

[vapid flume]

No worries, it's my 3D practice! It's Sunday 🙂

[rancid edge]

1200px 1800px pehaps

[vapid flume]

Since it's a circle (that fits into a square, let's do 1800px

see if it fits?

[rancid edge]

Yeah should be fine

Thnks

[vapid flume]

in the psd file, you'll get the shadow as well. If you want to remove it let me know now

[rancid edge]

Well if that not too much trouble yeah

[rancid edge]

Perfect

[vapid flume]

please confirm and if OK, I'll fire up the engine

[rancid edge]

Yep confirmed thanks so much

[vapid flume]

Let's fly! Might be a few minutes

[twilit crater]

Is anyone free 2 dm?

[plucky zinc]

Why there is separate blending modes of brush in the option bar at top in psd, if there is already layer blending modes?

[ripe quest]

Why? There are also Blend Modes on the Layer Styles themselves. They're just giving you different options, I suppose.

[plucky zinc]

Why someone will use brush' blending modes if they can use layer' blending modes. Any benefits to use it? Infact if we use brush' blending modes we cant alter it later if we work with multiple blending modes in one layer

[ripe quest]

They can be used together to create certain effects.

[neat badge]

i tried to draw letters but they not straight any way to make them look straight?

[ripe quest]

For the cleanest, most editable shapes, you should draw them as vector objects using the Pen Tool.

[neat badge]

alright ima try

[ripe quest]

I wouldn't overthink it at first. Just trace the shapes with simple lines. You can add effects and things later...

[plucky zinc]

I would be thankful to you if you share the link of any art/ videos/ resources that show the benefits of using brush' blending modes. I'm searching this from three days but can't found any

[ripe quest]

People use them to paint highlight and shadow using Screen or Multiply modes respectively. This can also be done on a layer above a primary layer that might be set to Overlay Blend Mode. This is just one example. If I think of more, I'll be sure to let you know.

[plucky zinc]

That's what I'm asking. If someone can do highlights and shadows using layer's blending modes. Then why people someone try to use brush' blending mode. Also we all know that this will be destructive process and we can't alter it if we need.

[lunar hollow]

i have to remove the background, but also, have to keep the blured edges, any ideas?

[plucky zinc]

U said that it can be use to achieve certain effects. But I can't found any

[ripe quest]

Just because you don't find utility in a certain feature doesn't mean its utterly useless. If you don't require that feature or prefer to do things a different way, then by all means do that.

[ripe quest]

See above.

[ripe quest]

Use a Layer Mask with a soft edge.

[plucky zinc]

Where...pls tag it

[ripe quest]

I was referring to this statement: #❓ask-a-question message

If you don't need it, don't use it. Its as easy as that. Do you understand what I'm saying or not?

In Photoshop, there are often many different ways to arrive at the same result. People find the method that works for them.

[plucky zinc]

I totally agree with your statement and what u r trying to say....but you said that it can be use to achieve different effects. That's why I'm wondering how?

[ripe quest]

I just provided an example... #❓ask-a-question message

I feel like this conversation is going in circles.

[plucky zinc]

I saw it but how highlights by using brush' blending modes and highlights by using layers blending modes will give different effects?

[ripe quest]

Because paint strokes can be "built up" with successive passes. The Blend Mode on the Layer can only be applied once and then only adjusted using the Opacity and Fill settings.

[plucky zinc]

Pls refer this

[lunar hollow]

no different effects, different ways of achieving the same effect.

[ripe quest]

I don't have anything else to say about this. Sorry.

[lunar hollow]

why? that's the question you must ask urself

while making projects eventually you'll see the reason this function exist

[plucky zinc]

Ahh opacity and fill will be the reason of different effects

[ripe quest]

No.

[plucky zinc]

I'm confused sir

[ripe quest]

You can paint on a layer. And each paint stroke could cause an effect of darkening or lighting (depending on the Blend Mode being used.) When you apply a Blend Mode to the Layer, it affects THE ENTIER LAYER. When you use it on the Brush, it is being applied to ONLY THAT PAINT STROKE.

[plucky zinc]

I will be grateful if you share some video recording by acheive certain effects you were talked about. (Not now but when you have free time). Btw thanks in advance

[lunar hollow]

you don't have to use it because it's "righter" or "seems to be professional way of achieving something", if you want, just do it the way you're used to

[lunar hollow]

thanks!

yeah bot never gives credits when i'm being grateful, what a shame

[ripe quest]

You have to reply with "thanks" directly to me or to my comment...

[lunar hollow]

didn't i?

[weary sorrel]

There's this image of the burj khalifa with a sky background, in front of the building there's a palm tree, how to remove only the tree as effectively as possible!? I'm unable to select the tree perfectly and thus having problems

[lunar hollow]

also it's usually better (in 99%) to use layer effects instead of brush effects simply because you always can edit them later if you screw something up on the way @plucky zinc

[ripe quest]

This is one person's opinion. People use the methods that work for their particular project, workflow or task. Generally, it is preferred to work non-destructively. However, I've seen great digital artists only paint on ONE layer. Without any effects or Blend Modes.

[lunar hollow]

ah blending modes, that's how they're called lol

[ripe quest]

We experiment with the features and audit them via this experimentation. Then we either keep or dump tools and techniques that either work or do not work for the particular task. That's the beautify of creative software. You're free to use the app(s) any way you like. :)

Luckily Photoshop offers many different ways to work and arrive at the same or similar results. Thus, you can craft your own workflows and in ways that work for you.

[hushed niche]

I think that brushes had blending modes before layers existed. It can be useful when working on masks. The behind blending mode lets you paint where there is transparency, and not affect opaque pixels. You can shade a painting with blending modes, if you work on an indexed mode image, you can’t have layers, thus need brushes to have B.M. There’s countless uses of blending modes, for different tools, like the clone tool.

Rushes vs layer blend modes: https://youtu.be/idinN3CNYpY?si=_SAKUIReH0i-xCOl .

Here you can see whether cumulative brush strokes do when brushing. You do not want to have as many layers as you have brush strokes: https://youtu.be/6PtDON05znw?si=pfboJMHCyRfb-FcG

[amber falcon]

How can I make only the car blue?

[weary sorrel]

How do i select just the tree? Should i go with the lasso and refine it manually or the object selection stuff

[ripe quest]

Try Generative Fill.

[ripe quest]

You can use a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer with Colorize and then paint on the mask to only apply the effect to the desired area.

[weary sorrel]

I have the 2019 version

[ripe quest]

Then you'll have to either try to Clone Stamp it, paint it or find a different image.

[sly hawk]

This basic principal... Obviously paint in the blue in a much more delicate way than I did.

[amber falcon]

ty!

[sly hawk]

Honest question:
There are so, so many images of this building online. - Why try and remove the tree when there are 1,000's of alternatives?

[weary sorrel]

Gotta do this for an assignment

[sly hawk]

oh, so the homework is literally 'remove the tree from this image'?

[weary sorrel]

Yup, and any potential shadows of the tree on the building as well

[sly hawk]

Oh if only you didn't have a pirated copy from 2019. 🙂

[hushed niche]

Hi! And you are supposed to use such an old version for school when there are education licenses ?

[weary sorrel]

This is the version that my current system supports plus most of us have been issued the same

[sly hawk]

(It's a strange one here, I'm not knocking the OP, but as a teacher, should you encourage your students to do things 'the old way'?. I mean it teaches fundamentals I guess?)

[weary sorrel]

Tho the traditional work that goes in this. Is it doing all the selection manually?

[pastel orchid]

I just need to know, since in my head when I imagined what it'd look like ofc it looked better, is this the most you can do with this idea? I don't really understand what to do to make it look more clean, I wanted it to have a feel like the smoke curves around the text but it looks like it's impossible from my knowledge at least

maybe play around with shadows till i get it right?

[orchid agate]

am I able to change the font of a text without having to have it selected? I would just like to see the font change without having a large contrasting selection box over it

[orchid agate]

nvm i figured out a way: goto windows > properties and you don't need to select the text to change the font

[hexed compass]

is there a way to symmetrically free transform the top left and top right corners of this rectangle?

i tried holding ctrl + alt but it moves the top left and bottom right corner for some odd reason

[sly hawk]

Can you quickly 'draw out' the sort of shape you wanted it to look like?

There are transform/warp tools that may do the job

[hexed compass]

like a trapezoid where the longer line is at the bottom

[sly hawk]

Yes. That's easy.

One moment. Just away from pc.

how do i acutally see my artwork while setting up a camer aposition

When I play it , it's just a black screen

[long shard]

I have another question, to make this into a typewriter animation does it need to be text from after effects, or can it be from photoshop aswell? because I do not know how to animate texts from photoshop if so how?

[vocal shale]

It Depends On The Animation That You Want

If It's A Simple Animation Then You Can Animate The Text As A One Layer

If You Need More Professional Animation You'll Need To Separate The Text Into Layers , Each Layer Has A Letter Of The Text

[sly hawk]

Late response? It was like 9 minutes! - That's all good. Sometimes due to timezone differences and availabilities, conversations take days!

How do I even animate it, When i put typewriter effect on the photoshop file it does nothing.

how can i change a shortcut to the SPACE key? Im doing a course for Photoshop and the teacher says we need to change the hand for H to SPACE key but in Photoshop says you can put only the letters keys (he use MAC idk if this is the reason)

[serene coral]

space bar is one of the unchangeable shortcuts. If you hold it it will act like holding the H key for the hand tool . There is nothing to change for it to work as your teacher wants to

can you specify the effect you want to achieve?

[bronze sapphire]

I'm still trying to get rid of the shadow on the eyes, can anyone help tell me how to do it easily?

[lunar hollow]

is there a way in general to smooth such edges automatically?

[hushed niche]

Hi! Which tutorial did you already try so far, there are plenty, like: https://youtu.be/sRMFYKiXB6U?si=_6G7kOLDAbPipkz3 .
Or: https://youtu.be/P-IWQPkEDPw?si=YCB-pvkv6QdfHoyO

[hushed niche]

Hi, I think they meant that you should rather use the spacebar: it easier to reach; combined with Ctrl, you zoom in, with Alt, zoom out; if you add Shift, you can do it on all opened documents.

[prime wraith]

Why is this heppen and how i fixs that?

[hushed niche]

Hi, remember to be more descriptive : « why are pixels removed outside my selection » will get faster answers than « this » .
The marching ants indicate the pixels that are at least 50% selected. The selection method you used select grey pixels as well. Lower the tolerance setting if you used the magic wand. You can switch to quick mask: hit Q to visualize the selection in red (you can change the color in a right-click, IIRC. Then you can use levels to tighten the mask. (Bring the black and white levels sliders together.) see: https://www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/selections/feather-quick-mask/

[steady mist]

how to do the "bend" on the piano object..?

[kind oyster]

i have some ideas for a skate shop(im in school and its a project were working on) which design looks better and fits a skate shop more. The name of the shop is "just skate" just wanted some feedback because im stuck between the two

[lunar hollow]

left, but looks soooo weird

[kind oyster]

wdym?

[lunar hollow]

the way the legs are being cut is weird, but if implemented correctly (preferably in vector graphics) it will be just fine

[little warren]

is this deadly?

how much can it affect the quality

[hollow bluff]

hey i have this texture and i would like to change it so all the cobblestone "squares" would be the same color. Basically make all the darker stones lighter, as if they were all the lighter shade?

whats the best way to do this, im not sure how to mask it correctly because of all the detail, how would you guys do this?

[hushed niche]

You are pasting a 16 bits photo to an 8 bits document ? If there is a long tone graduation, like a sky, you might see some stair stepping.

[serene coral]

your main goal can be easily achieved by using curves and adjusting the color with your preferred method. however, there is a tricky part here - the edges of your selections have to be precise + there is some grass sticking out that will need additional masking

[hollow bluff]

i tried doing that, slecting with color range but i never could get the shade to match right

[serene coral]

a trick to overcome this could be applying a solid fill layer and setting the blending mode to color. then you can either pick a specific color or make it black&white. This should help equalizing the differences

[little warren]

content aware fill it

or just use a clone tool

or heal brush

or generative expand

or just manually edit them with masks

[serene coral]

sorry for not giving a precise answer you're looking for but it's all up to you on what workflow or app you'll pick. nothing of what you said is wrong!

[little warren]

if your good at photo editing

[timber sluice]

Does anyone have any idea how this has been achieved. Had someone retore a photo for me and provide the PS file. Halfway through the layers they go from cleaning up the original to a greatly enhanced version. Its very precise to the original and I cannot replicate it in any AI I know?

[hushed niche]

Hi, I’d use the program you are more confortable with to start. That said, InDesign is made for multi age long documents, especially if you want to reuse paragraph styles, etc. Illustrator is tailored for vectors, Ps for Easter images, but their functionality increased with time, towards each other’s specialties.
I recommend to use a physical A4 page, and fold it, to see which part will be up, down, etc. I’ve seen an instagram with someone doing exactly that: https://www.instagram.com/wuthipol.designs?igsh=MXg5dnFscWZlNmc5Zg== happy creation!

[ripe quest]

It could easily be done with Stable Diffusion using the original in image-to-image with a low denoise value. The problem that I see is that it's changing her face and introducing details that were not there in the original. It looks good but its not "real." If you're ok with that then it works.

[bronze sapphire]

I'll give those a look thanks

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @hushed niche (current: #23 - 83)

[sly hawk]

I'd suggest you get as close as you can, then apply a gradient map to the whole thing. 🙂

[hushed niche]

You are welcome ! Which ones did you try before, and what were your struggles ?

[timber sluice]

thansk for the tip. It was used as a base and the original brought through more. So the hair details and clothing etc.

[ripe quest]

The face was changed. Its not the same after denoising it.

Again, if you're ok with that then it is what it is. Its just not accurate as the A.I. has imposed its own details.

[timber sluice]

yes the face was not used. Only the AI details like the hair and the clothing. Here's the final result

[ripe quest]

It looks good.

Postscript: People also use Krea and Magnific to enhance images. That is another way those details could've been generated.

[timber sluice]

Yes it pretty good. Still has the painted look to it but a great improvement. I'll check out Krea and Magnific, thanks 🙂

where can i change PS language

[ripe quest]

Language is handled by Creative Cloud app. Open the CC Desktop and go to File > Preferences > Apps... Default Install Language

https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/change-install-language.html

[hushed niche]

Once you’ve added another language (it is very fast) go to preferences>Interface and there is a field for the language. Hit ok, then restart Ps.

[halcyon python]

how can i have this effect on the background where it becomes transparent with a different

i want to have the background effect on mine heres my image i want to apply it on

[lunar hollow]

pretty sure it's a simple gradient map but you'll have to play around with the settings

[halcyon python]

I'm not trying to change the color, I'm trying to have the edges of the background to fade properly, like it turns transparent.

[lunar hollow]

then blending options

rmb on the layer you wanna edit-blending options-then play around with those

to separate these two you hold alt then hold and move one of the points

[ripe quest]

Use a Layer Mask. You can use a Gradient on the Mask to softly transition from opaque to transparent.

(or just paint on it with a soft round brush)

Don't bother with Advanced Blending. That will not do anything about the edges of that layer.

I had to crudely separate this to demo it. Hopefully, you still have all the Layers intact and can use a Mask directly on the image in the background.

[halcyon python]

The first method you used is exactly what I'm looking for, and would it make the image transparenet?

[ripe quest]

A mask will potentially "hide" pixels. Black is transparent. White is opaque. Values of grey are respective levels of transparency in-between.

Please learn how to use Layer Masks. Working 'non-destructively' is one of the most important concepts to grasp and Layer Masks are a key part of that mindset.

[pastel orchid]

@ripe quest is there a chance you could tell me or give me an example of what would you do to make smoke feel like it's curving around something, I did ask before but no one replied, if u cant np, it's just I'm lost, I was trying a lot of things, it didn't work out so I'm stuck since yd, this the best I could do even tho it's bad af, I'm thinking I just did it bad from the start maybe

[ripe quest]

I would probably paint it with a custom brush that will create a cloud texture.

[pastel orchid]

I did tho

I used a smoke brush to paint it in

[ripe quest]

You could also try using Generative Fill.

[pastel orchid]

generative fill for what? But nevermind I can't do that anyways I have an older version of ps, I live in a poor country and they don't give education licenses here they just say torrent it

but it don't make sense tho, for what would I use generative fill? The goal is to make the smoke feel like it's curving around the text

like does it feel to u that it's curving around? It feels too simple

I tried making the shadows on the left and right side bigger so they feel like they're more in front meanwhile the darker part in the middle has less shadows

but that just ends up feeling like it's too much

I'm starting to think it's impossible there are not even pictures of smoke curving around a person on the web, let alone text so I don't have any examples

this what i meant, how would you curve smoke instead of that line?

[ripe quest]

It's not impossible. Some people might paint it. Some might use A.I. Some might use both. It just depends on the desired effect.

[ripe quest]

This is just quick but, if I were trying to do this, I would paint it...

[pastel orchid]

yeah that's good thx but I did the exact same thing with it, but why doesn't mine look good, that's wha i'm tryin to ask 🤣 like you'd rate mine a 1/10 ofc but if you were to put more time in to it wha would you do my exact design to make it look more dynamic

[ripe quest]

It takes time and practice to develop artistic skills. I've probably been doing this a lot longer than you.

[pastel orchid]

k thx, I thought it would be more about blending modes, layer adjustments etc, i didn't think you could make it look that good with just a brush and an eraser

[ripe quest]

I did it with a Brush and layer masks. Masking instead of permanently erasing.

[arctic solstice]

Hey guys! how can i create a scanned soccument like effect, like the one seen in the image?

[ripe quest]

You can try making a Color Fill Layer. Choose White. Then do Filter > Mezzotint... Use "Fine Dots"

[arctic solstice]

Appricate it man! tysm <3

[ripe quest]

No prob. Certian parts appear "darker" so you might have to pile a couple other layers on top to build it up in certain places.

[hushed niche]

Try Ctrl+H, it hides the selection

[shy bramble]

Anyone use Clo3d

by chance

[lucid river]

hi hi, can anyone please remind me - what is the keyboard control to switch the brush colours from front to back?

I mean, I have black and white set as my colours, and I used to switch between them with a keypress, I just don't remember what key it was anymore. Thanks in advance

[patent gyro]

X is the default shortcut

[lucid river]

I have a 2D image with some great colour gradients in it, I would like to make the colours swirl just a little for a bit of movement. What might be the easiest way to accomplish this please? I don't have access to After Effects or anything, I only have PS access.
I mean, an AI tool would be great, but I've no idea where to start looking if I wanted to learn to do this manually either. Any tips or leads would be great! Thanks much

Hey there, im again having these render issues with latest Ps ver25.7.

My settings are the same and i didnt had these problems lately

its when transforming a layer. Doesnt matter if text, shape or image :(

[ripe quest]

Drivers up to date?

[elfin dawn]

yep

i also did use DDU, as i had this problem back with win 10

it was fine the last weeks tho, so im very confused how this could occur

[ripe quest]

Hmm. Seems like it should be fine. You could try deactivating the native canvas rendering and see if that changes anything.

[elfin dawn]

in Tech preview?

[ripe quest]

Aye

[elfin dawn]

Will try!

hm i turned on multithreaded (was off)

But when i turn of native canvas rendering, it shows me the white blocks again

[ripe quest]

That's weird. Do you have the Ps Beta installed?

[elfin dawn]

yea i have, act installed it today

[ripe quest]

Does it behave the same way?

[elfin dawn]

will try one sec

Works fine

but still, very laggy, especially at layer selection

[ripe quest]

Dang.

[elfin dawn]

i have a 5800X3D ... i dont think thats the problem xD

im very confused haha.
Im planning on getting an editing setup anyway with intel. Seems the better option i guess

Camera Raw Filter is going to work differently. The masking would need to be done inside ACR and its probably going to be more complicated.

Ah

I know how to do through adjustments too

What do I do with that

Add the Adjustment Layer (with a Layer Mask). Hue/Saturation + Colorize, I presume? Fill the Layer Mask with black. Then paint with white on the areas you want the adjustment to appear.

[river otter]

What would u guys call this style of art work. I’m wanting to create similar designs with other vehicles and stuff and want to see if there’s any tutorials of similar but don’t really know what you’d call it

[orchid panther]

Got it now

[regal cloak]

Nah it's the photoshop app for android

[orchid panther]

I had to change how I was viewing it and the different tool

[ripe quest]

There is a lot going on in here. "Vintage illustration" comes to mind.

[ripe quest]

Photoshop Express doesn't have the same tools.

[regal cloak]

So whatever I was asking abt it can't be done on google play store version?

[ripe quest]

Correct. It doesn't have layers and masks like the desktop version.

[regal cloak]

L

I think they could add that no?

[ripe quest]

Phones generally don't have the same power and resources that a desktop PC has.

Photoshop Express is mostly for quick edits.

[regal cloak]

I made this on pics art. Pretty sure photoshop express can do this simple edit

[ripe quest]

What "simple edit" are you referring to?

In the original post, you were asking about a tutorial that demo'd removing the background from something.

[regal cloak]

Well its the fact it didn't let me set a picture as a background nor did it have background options like this and then it didn't let me put pic on pics and it didn't give me that extra space for top and bottom to add the text

[ripe quest]

Ps Express doesn't do that. There aren't layers and custom masks. It does not work the same way as the desktop or iPad versions.

[regal cloak]

Yeah and the fact another mobile app like picsart CAN makes photoshop express LAME cuz aren't they bigger and better?

[ripe quest]

Its a lightweight app for quick edits, e.g. level adjustments, cropping, exporting to different sizes, etc.

[regal cloak]

Nah it shouldn't be tho

Literally should let us do the background images and text edits

[ripe quest]

OK. Well, regardless, it doesn't have that functionality.

[regal cloak]

I mean it should tho cuz other mobile apps have it

And photoshop is bigger and better right

What's stopping them from having it

[ripe quest]

OK. Feel free to send your feedback about Ps Express on the Web Forum. Perhaps they will change how the app works.

[regal cloak]

Alright

I would use pc version but I'm more on my phone

[ripe quest]

You'll never have the editing power on a phone. It just doesn't have the memory resources to do serious editing.

[regal cloak]

Yea but for the things we discussed like background images and text edits it should be fine cuz we can do it on picsart n other apps so it is possible

Is this where I should leave feedback?

[elfin dawn]

Even tho my lightroom on my Ipad Pro is faster than the lightroom cloud desktop application

but agree!
one day maybe :D

Question:
How do i de-select the layer highlighting in the beta?

Yeah. Those details are still kinda tough.

But they're working on it!

[elfin dawn]

im so impressed.

[ripe quest]

Even the Beta had power... https://www.behance.net/gallery/194331181/Virtual-Destinations

Now i only need an ai, that translates my ideas into code

[elfin dawn]

AdobeGPT?

[elfin dawn]

look like straight outta pixabay or something haha

[orchid panther]

For futures ones I do instead of just guessing on camera raw imma do vibrance and other things with the layer mask

[elfin dawn]

haha yeah

Like i have an idea, but cant find a specific plugin or tool for it to realise it for my client

[orchid panther]

Yo got a question for peoples shadows on their feet how do you guys do that

I just draw and change opacity but its hard to get

[ripe quest]

Adjustment Layers are really powerful. I usually save the Camera Raw filter for the very last step in the workflow.

[orchid panther]

Also sorry for all the questions but do you know how to get the words like this in 3d

[ripe quest]

I would use Adobe Illustrator.

[orchid panther]

Ight thanks

[ripe quest]

Or Adobe Substance Stager but that is a different suite of apps.

[orchid panther]

Ye i would have to request

[elfin dawn]

One thing i still cant get is like shots from far away. like i wanted to create a black and white image with a silhoutte in firefly, but sadly its always very close

[ripe quest]

Try using a structure reference to drive the composition.

[elfin dawn]

im fascinated how fast it is

lol

eh, almost

im overwhelmed, its so crazy good :D

i act did samish shot and this one almost looks better than the real one xD haha

oh

[ripe quest]

Its a lot of fun to generate and remix images

[elfin dawn]

btw u can set a kamera setting, stuff like wideangle etc

didnt see that

[ripe quest]

Yeah

[elfin dawn]

i made this with firefly, im hungry now xD

even tho the text is still weird haha

[ripe quest]

Small text is tough in almost every Gen AI model.

[elfin dawn]

yeaa

[orchid panther]

i just tried something and its horrid

good night everyone

[ripe quest]

It can be fun to combine tools and models to remix, regen and retouch...

[orchid panther]

Is it fine if I ask u questions tmmrw

I tired to make this and failed

Badly

[ripe quest]

Of course.

[elfin dawn]

bruh firefly doesnt like german kebab, im sad

all it makes is gyros or schwarma xD

[ripe quest]

Probably not a lot of training data for German kebobs. :)

[elfin dawn]

not my kebobs ;_;

eh will do. But its hard to find reference images any way bc of most of them look like an accident

[lucid river]

If there is no easier AI alternative, and if using PS is possible, that would be ideal! I don't see it as a difficult project, the amount of movement I would like is pretty small..
I just don't know how to learn how to do it, and was hoping someone might have a link or something to point me in the right direction.

Unless there is a different program that can also do it? I mean, it's just one little graphic, I don't really want to pay $33 to do just this, so I was looking for something that is free.

[hushed niche]

Hi, are the gradients on their own layers, or is it a flat image? Photoshop has some animations abilities: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/video-animation-overview.html

[lucid river]

thank you! I will go and study that for a bit.
I have taken a flat image, and separated the gradient to its own layer. Maybe I can AI expand the gradiented area and then move the image around a bit to fake it..

The 3D effect is probably done using a 3D software (although you can do that in Illustrator as well, it's more tricky in Photoshop)

what happened to "Merge visible to a new layer"? All I can see now is merge visible.

Thank you

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sly hawk (current: #5 - 892)

[vapid flume]

I know it doesn't answer your question but what I routinely do is: group my selected layers and then merge the group (all of them available through the menu). You can even assign those two steps to an action and set this action to a shortcut (Mine is F11)
So, my workflow is "select a bunch of layers" and then hit F11.

[lucid river]

I have some weird stuff going on rn, was going to merge and start over, but like to keep the old layers for easier selection purposes, can delete the extra later.
I used to right click the layer in the layers menu and merge to a new layer all the time. Hotkeys are harder for me to remember, but - it is what it is.

At least it's still possible

Beats copying them all individually

[serene coral]

Layer>Merge visible. Alt just makes it a separate layer

[lucid river]

Alt makes it a new layer. That's interesting, better understanding of the hotkeys. Maybe that will help. Thanks

[serene coral]

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/where-is-stamp-visible-in-photoshop-cc-2015/m-p/7427739

[serene coral]

in Photoshop, alt key is generally used to duplicate stuff. I agree this should be a separate menu item

[lucid river]

It used to be, last year. idk why they would remove it

[stoic gyro]

while waiting for Ps to unfreeze 😂 [broke it with 100% responsibility] to ask; Is it possible to make and preform upscaling action using neural filters upscale?

[vapid flume]

Yes you can do some upscaling with superzoom

[serene coral]

Like neural filter as part of your action? yes, you can use it but count in the calculating freeze 😛

if it's about upscaling only, I would recomment Upscayl that can do batches

[vapid flume]

You need to click on the magnifying glass and set up your % . It zooms in on your image so you will have to extend your canvas when done to see the bigger image (image>reveal all)

[stoic gyro]

Thank you both @vapid flume @serene coral yes, that is the one I tried to make into an action and lost it 😅. The point comes through perhaps its a tad much for my PC to handle. Thanks for a tip, I'll give a go to Upscayl.

I did remember that for a while, Neural filters did not work in actions. I guess it was fixed?

[serene coral]

I wasn't sure and checked it before answering. It worked fine and I was able to run the action with specific settings. Of course, it took the time to calculate everything just like it would when doing it manually.

[cold marsh]

Hi, I'd like to hatched an area on a photo, to hide it

I'd prefer to not blur or pixelize the area, because we'll see some disagreable dtails

So, to me, hatched area will be fine, to delimit the visible parts of the photo

Would you have any method/trick to succeed in realizing this task, please?

[half ruin]

Hello guys! How would I remove the lighting on his arms? It is from the original download.

[sly hawk]

You could try the 'burn' tool - plus a bit of cloning?

[sly hawk]

Change the background?

...or just a simple hue/saturation adjustment

[oak forge]

but i want the bird to have more color in the other photo its good but for that one its to dark

[cobalt stratus]

Is there a way to convert RGB black to CMYK black? I'm working in CMYK color environment and i've just imported SVG file that only contains black and white colors but i need the SVG black (It's RGB black actually so it's R0 G0 B0) to be C0 M0 Y0 K100

As photoshop imports the SVG file R0 G0 B0 color as C75 M68 Y67 K90

Anyone know a prompt to make the headset piece of a stethoscope? I am trying to use adobe photoshops generative tool and it just keeps coming out so bad so its got to be my prompt, PLZ HELP IF YOU CAN

[cobalt stratus]

Figured it out myself. (make sure your layer is a smart object) select the Layer, go to Image-Adjustments-Channel Mixer. On Output Channel - select respective CMY channel and set the value of each channel to 0%, on Black (K) channel set the value to 200%

it will now be 100% CMYK black

C0 M0 Y0 K100

and it being a smart filter, it can be changed any time

[jaunty coyote]

how do i sign out on the windows version its signed into wrong account

What's the whole image? - Can you not instead just source an image of a man/woman with a stethoscope?

[jaunty coyote]

found it, was in the help section

[river otter]

Can someone please help? I must of clicked the wrong button, but now when I want to select something on the canvas, it doesn't allow me to unless I select it through the layers tab. Also, whenever I hover over something, it highlights it in blue on the layers tab. I'm unsure how to turn this off, but it's been annoying as I have a lot of layers, and it's difficult to find the right one through scrolling in the layers tab.

[sly hawk]

Yeah, you probably turned "Auto Select Layer" off.

@river otter

[river otter]

I'll have a look now.

Yesss, it's resolved now. Thank you for your help!

[sly hawk]

No Problem 🙂

[river otter]

Random question - do you know why some layers are highlighted blue when I hover over them? This never occured before. 😟

[rustic breach]

If I uninstalled Photoshop from my computer, does it affect the PSD files I have on my PC at all?

I just uninstalled Photoshop to hopefully re-install it soon, but now all the PSD files are just blank with the blank thumbnail.

[sly hawk]

Layers always do that

[sly hawk]

No. The PSD's will be fine.

[river otter]

I've only experienced it being blue when it's actually selected, not when I hover over it.

[sly hawk]

However, your computer won't be able to 'understand' them whilst you have no photoshop. Hence the lack of thumbnail.

[sly hawk]

It's blue if the layer is visible.

[river otter]

Okay I understand, again, thanks for your time. 😄

[rustic breach]

Well, I just tried to open a PSD file in that online Photopea editor since I know that can open PSD files, but none of the PSD files are opening.

Maybe I accidentally deleted the files while cleaning my PC a bit? 🤔

[sly hawk]

If you're stressing, you can send me a PSD if you want, and I'll check it opens ok on my side?

[rustic breach]

Hold on, does deleting the image files that's in the PSD files affect the files?

Because I did clean up my PC a bit a few days ago, and I think some files from multiple PSD files were possibly deleted from within that clean up.

If it doesn't affect it, then I can send you one of my PSD files to check it.

[sly hawk]

It depends. Normally if you use an image in a PSD, it will EMBED the image within.
However you can use a 'linked image', meaning if you delete or edit the linked image, it will impact on the PSD.

However, I doubt you would have done this in your images! since it's an extra step you'd have had to go through!

[rustic breach]

I never use "linked" images.

The weird thing is, I tested another psd file in that online Photopea editor, and it opened up just fine after a bit. The PSD file I wanted to open tho just doesn't open at all.

[sly hawk]

photopea isn't as good as photoshop. Maybe there are some features in the PSD that won't render in in photopea

[rustic breach]

Oh my goodness, I cannot even send you the PSD file. I has the DM open, ready for a file, and the PSD file I want to send doesn't even allow it to upload in the slightest, no pp-up or anything. I think that one PSD file is corrupted or something?

I tested another PSD file that opened up just perfectly in Photopea, and it can be uploaded to discord to send just fine.

[sly hawk]

Um.. how big is the 'broken' PSD?

it's not like 13kb or something is it?

[rustic breach]

It's 3.41 MB

[sly hawk]

ok. That's decent. - strange you can't attach it to discord!

[dreamy oracle]

Any decently good AI Image Generators that anyone know of?

[pale niche]

i need a good shrift

[ripe quest]

Define "good" because there are so many to choose from. What do you want to generate?

You're in the Photoshop server, so... Adobe Photoshop would be the obvious one. Adobe Firefly (https://firefly.adobe.com) is the web-based service.

[dreamy oracle]

Well tbh I will need it for different imagaes, but atm I am trying to generate Vector Images

[dreamy oracle]

How much does it cost?

[ripe quest]

Adobe Illustrator can generate direct to vector. Otherwise, you generate something with flat colors and use Trace Bitmap inside Illustrator to convert pixels to vector shapes.

[ripe quest]

You'll have to investigate the plans and features that fit your needs/budget. https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/plans.html

[dreamy oracle]

Would you say Firely good?

[ripe quest]

Its pretty good. But again, it really depends on what you want to generate. Some tools are better than others at certain subjects.

[raven vault]

how would I decrease noise that came about from an adjustment layer?

like I masked out the sky and applied it to a Hue/sat layer and upon increasing the saturation I obviously get noise but is there any way to decrease noise without referring to the original layer?

anyone kno how to do it ? its been a while since i used photoshop so im tryna get adjusted again

I’m on iPhone and got no sort of computer or pc. What’s the best ways to photoshop images. I make things such as movie posters n stuff, So what would be the best way to do that on iPhone for free cause the photoshop app doesn’t really do much

[orchid panther]

Just search up a blank template for this or use the select thing

[fluid moth]

What tool can i use to highlight the fingerprints in a zoomed in finger?

[sly hawk]

High pass filter?

[fluid moth]

yeah but like the fingerprints are inked (in red) , so there is some inconsistencies that don't capture all of the fingerprints

Is there a way to draw a primitive in photoshop then tell the AI to generate something in that shape?

I've tried being as descriptive as I could with how I want my generated object to conform to the privative I drew but still no luck, so wondering if anyone here knows

[hushed niche]

Hi, you can Ctrl+shift+click on each box to create a selection, then add a layer mask on the black layer, invert if needed.

[hushed niche]

Hi, a structure reference, that works in firefly, not sure if the latest Ps beta has it: https://youtu.be/2C_7UykQ8ic?si=pfxMkbWqImIaKXbk or https://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/using-structure-reference-and-style-reference-in-adobe-firefly/

[raven vault]

so I have to do it within firefly?

thats a dumb question, I didnt read your message, only clicky. oops

not quite what I want to use it for tho so unfortunate

[dark needle]

anyone can point me into the right direction?

i know how to use the bucket tool, but that's about it lol

and it doesn't look very good using the bucket 😅

[lunar hollow]

bucket doesn't affect transparent pixels as far as i know

it only affects the pixels with similar / same color

there's many ways of doing this, the laziest and longest would be to use adjustment layer - Hue/Saturation - Colorize- Pick the right color, switch to the mask of the adjustment layer and hide the areas of white pixel contour that you want to stay white

but seeing you're new, would be better to find a video on how to do that, the problem is i have no idea where to look for exact scenario, this is close enough

https://youtu.be/b8bij-phFj0?si=cM8wueds73TRrN-X&t=257

[serene coral]

use a clipping mask . simply add a new layer, clip it and paint it red on the ship

clipping will obey all the transparency data

if you want to keep the outline white, use a proper bleinding mode on your clipped layer

[lunar hollow]

actually just go to Image-Adjustment-Replace Color, pick a color (black) select a color range

this easier but likely will paint letters as well, sooo you'd need to use the clipping mask or just, mask.

unless you can just move the letters to another layer

don't forget to use Colorize function, without it blacks&whites don't change

[dark needle]

i appreciate all the help this is all a bit much for me 😅
i tried using a adjustment layer, but it only changed the while outline and the black stays the same
where can i enable the colorize function, i don't see it...

[torn condor]

How to match this blender better with background

[vapid flume]

I think mostly getting the right shadows: 1/ those that touches the "ground" eg contact shadows, and those that are the projected shadows from the light source onto the blender. Now, talking about the light source. Your blender's photo light source and the background's don't match.

There is not much you can do about it, because you cannot really control the light source of the blender (frontal, quite harsh) neither the one of the background (soft, from the right, probably coming from a window)

I would try to find a background where the light matches the one of the blender (or change the bvlender image to one that matches the background)

imagine that cylinder is your blender, see how the light is stopped in its track by the blender, making the shadow appear exactly in the same path. You can clearly see that in your backgound with the tall cream vase.

[lunar rose]

I'm trying to remove the background for this image, the remove background quick action removes some of the image and quick select struggles. Any tips? Thought it would be rather easy with the black on white

[stark matrix]

[south stirrup]

[little warren]

do you guys know any graphic designers or artists who use blend modes alot with photos to create some sort of artwork e.g collages , manipulations and more?

[vapid flume]

You'll probably have better luck with the select>colour range (and choose Blacks in the dropdon menu) than with the subject select (as you have sharp angles and it doen't always deal with it very well

or maybe the magic wand?

since there is only two colours there, you can choose the lowest settings for both tolerance and and point sample to get the best results

[sly hawk]

Yeah. - Definately use colour range!

[sly hawk]

Remove tool?

I can't use any of the filter in the filter galery. Each time i try to apply it, it says "the operation could not be completed. P"... Yes, there is even a random "P" at the end of the sentence. I've tried with different images, different filters, but nothing seem to work.

[vapid flume]

It can sometimes happen when you don't have enough memory. Other than that difficult to say (I never stumbled upon it)
If you suspect it's a bug, you need to make a bug report on the community forum

[hearty wraith]

it basically shows in your discord activity that ur on photoshop and shows the the layer name and everything about ur psd if that makes sense

It depends on the kind of things you do, If you do 3D for example, you might use 4 or 5 software, only half of them would be Adobe's.

You just use the slider in the colour range selector.

You say "all shades of white" but that's subjective.

It does not assume that you want the uppermost layer. It samples the color that is directly underneath it. Then it becomes the foreground color. See the video. The layers are transparent. Thus, the color that is selected is a mixture of all the colors underneath the Eyedropper.

Can you show me your Layer Stack? I'm assuming they are on different layer...

i have one leaf image, and i want to fill the entire canvas with that one leaves with different scales
and also with shadow effect, how can i do that?

maybe suggest a tutorial?

Use a leaf to define a pattern. Then fill a selection with that pattern.

[zinc crypt]

copy paste the leaf multiple times and resize them and maybe flip some of them
for the shadow double click the layer in the layers panel and select drop shadow
