[ripe quest]

Yeah. Tony Stark's Jarvis... which, in our reality, will probably be ChatGPT from OpenAI. Its already almost there.

ChatGPT can see now. When it can operate Photoshop, you'll be able to tell ChatGPT to "select the nose" in the picture.

Until then, you'll have to draw a line around it. heh

Hello, I had already replied to this exact very question (and you acknowledged the answer) in a different forum a few days ago. I suggest to post a feature request on the official forums if you are wanting it so much. https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem/ct-p/ct-photoshop?page=1&sort=latest_replies&filter=all&lang=all&tabid=ideas

Your resolution is really small. Remember to post full screen captures as we are answering in the dark without seeing your layers panel. Please also state your end goal. Are you trying to draw chibi version of an existing image?

[terse snow]

is there's a possible way to do mock up with pen tool?

[river otter]

Hello,

I have problem for create my pfp on Facebook.

I need to stretch the background to cover the white surface, I can't do IT because I can't download Photoshop to my komputer due to an error

Someone help me? Please

[vapid flume]

Do you need help with do it yourself and understand how it works, or do you ask someone else to have a go for you?

[vapid flume]

What do you mean exactly by Mock-Up (I know what a mock-up is, but I have trouble to see the context of your question)

[vapid flume]

Do you have access to Adobe Express? (There is a free version)
You can use the GenAI with adobe express to extend backgrounds
https://www.adobe.com/uk/express/

[terse snow]

hmm how can i fit the smart object layer with this curves?

[vapid flume]

Which curves?

I don't see any example/screenshot

Sorry I didn't see you refered to a previous post

[terse snow]

this paper had a lot of curves how to fit a smart object on it

[vapid flume]

so the flying banner?

[terse snow]

yeah

[vapid flume]

yes you can trace a curve around it even with a smart object.

What do you want to do do exactly? Explain what you want to achive

I generally don't read all the messages written earlier, it would take too much time 🙂

[terse snow]

we are using this way right?
box then make it a smart object then disort then fit it with warp

isn't?

but it had 3 curves

i can fit it

[vapid flume]

Yes, you can use "warp" (CTRL+T on your smart object, right click, then "warp")

You can also use the liquify filter (I don't think it will work here, but just so you know, same with all the "distort" filter)

You will be able to use either custom warp (the choice here) or the presets.

[grim portal]

need someone to do it for me if possible 🙏🏾

[terse snow]

i did but it can't to 3 curves

[vapid flume]

Ask in #💬chat-general then, and see if someone can help. Read that one as well!
https://discord.com/channels/547473772727238676/1042833042378592329

[vapid flume]

It can do as many curves you want, it's up to you to set up the number of rows and columns
https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/warp-images-shapes-paths.html

I routinely do it for blankets with folds etc, it may be finicky, but it works

[terse snow]

can you show me? cause i tried a lot

[vapid flume]

OK, bear with me a sec, I don't have photoshop open now

[terse snow]

take your time

better if you tried with this flag panal

[vapid flume]

I am just showing you how you can distort more than one curve, adding rows and columns on the fly etc

As I said, it can be finicky to exactly follow the curves you have, but take your time and you will see the results

What I would suggest first is that you apply a perspective transform, before the warp, aligning the 4 corners, because your banner is in perspective, it will then be easier to just follow the curves with the warp

If you think you need to do it all over again because of a mistake, there is handy menu item

[hushed niche]

Click on the channels tab next the layers one, and click on the composite RGB (CTRL+2). It seemed that you were in quick mask, but it is impossible to say, since you cropped the screenshot. Remember to post the entire interface, it’ll help us help you faster!

[river otter]

can you record a video on how to stretch the background in this application so that I can just start my adventure with editing?

[river otter]

you are right it was quick mask issue

[hushed niche]

Hi, on your presets user folder: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/presets.html in the filter menu, there is a load presets icon , you should see the default folder there as well.

[vapid flume]

On the top of my head, no, but that would be an excellent idea. (you can add textures as repeat patterns (edit>define pattern) and have them in their specific layers with blending modes, scaling etc) but not here specifically.
On the other hand, I am pretty sure there is a plug-in of some sort that could do that. Did someone think about it? Not sure (I am pretty sure there was a similar option in DxO's Nik Collection)

[vapid flume]

Have you opened Adobe Express yet? I will show you on your screenshot

[river otter]

yes

[vapid flume]

So I stand corrected 🙂 @fervent girder Follow what @hushed niche says!
There are textures plugin ins in the marketplace as well (Some free)

[vapid flume]

Head over to discord.gg/adobeexpress and post it there. It may be even me who answers...:)
This is the Photoshop server here
(And I am not likely to record a video for that, it would take 10 seconds and you'll learn nothing 🙂 )

hey guys , i was painting in PS and I have several files open but colors dont match through files.it shows that both of them are RGB files though

but there is definetley difference between this 2

[ember ridge]

did you try restarting ps?

[elfin furnace]

there probably isnt a simple way to achieve what I want, but I figure maybe asking it will give me some idea.

I want to replicate the first (real world) picture. Specifically, the way green forest textures give way to barren, alpine textures after a certain altitude. In the second picture I have half a mountain covered in the green texture, but I want the texture to turn barren as height increases like in the first picture.

Is it the latest version of PureRef? Do they have a support forum ? Ps has so many ways to display images (full screen, tabbed, windowed; using the CPU/GPU, with old or new code…) that it is difficult to help.

Hey, could I get a little help?

[ripe quest]

These images appear to be rendered with a generative AI model.

[ripe quest]

Make a new layer and put it above the photo. Turn down the opacity for the photo layer and start by tracing over the photo to get the basic shapes. Start there.

These are AI generated. I can see it.

There might be filters applied afterwards but they began as generated pixels.

I don't know which models. There are hundreds of different tools now. What exactly are you trying to do?

You just want to make a chest like that? In an illustrative style?

I just made this with Photoshop...

You could try to use Style Reference but its not an exact science. It might take some experimentation with images and text prompts. Try it out.

Its a feature of Adobe Firefly/Generative Fill.

Firefly is an Adobe product. Not Google.

https://firefly.adobe.com

Go to the Firefly website. Sign in with your Adobe Account. Go to the Text-to-Image module... drop your image into the Style Reference section. Type in a prompt...

You can also do this in Photoshop. It just depends on how you want to work.

Firefly might have a few more tools and options for generating things. Photoshop is going to have more tools for editing/manipulation.

[ripe quest]

What is it that you need help with?

Just click on one of the sample images. Any one will do. You're going to change all of the options anyways.

(That's kind of annoying. They need to change that so it just opens with the GUI ready to go.)

Correct. One for "structure" and another for "style" and then type in a short descriptive prompt.

I would change the Content Type to "Art" instead of Photo if that's the style you're going for.

Its not going to copy the image exactly. It will try to match it up. This isn't an exact science. You should keep that in mind.

The style reference is the style you want to match. Does it not make sense to you?

Structure Reference... Style Reference...

You might want to check out the Firefly Creative Hub and do some of the tutorials so you get a better understanding of how these things work.

https://www.youtube.com/@LearnFirefly

So you have to learn more about how the tools and the technology works. I can't describe all of this for you. I suggest starting with that website and doing some experiments.

It depends. Sometimes. Its not an exact science. As I already said.

Gotta run. Good luck with it.

[crimson path]

anyone know how to create effect like these images. It looks very vintage, especially the cocktail one that has it's color manipulated

[ripe quest]

Try Posterization...
https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/discover/posterize-photo.html
https://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/how-to-posterize-a-photo-in-photoshop/

No. You'll have to work on each image, one by one. Its going to be a similar process as with Firefly. Input a Style Reference, type in a prompt, audit the results.

make sure this is black to HIDE the red

make sure you are white, and select that black box and start painting around the kinfe for that affect

Hey guys i have a doubt

i have this

and i want to do this

but when i click ok nothing changes

[ripe quest]

The only way you're going to be able to take a given image and convert it into a specific style (AND do this consistently across many images) is to use Stable Diffusion (or SD-based solution) with a specialized model that renders the style you want. I'm assuming its an illustrative style... from the looks of these images you keep posting. This type of solution is not trivial. It will require proper hardware (a good computer with a great GPU) and various technical knowledge, e.g. working with Git, Python, and other a few other things. After you get the system set up, it will require a lot of work and experimentation to get the results you want. These topics are beyond the scope of this server. Thus, you'll have to ask about these things elsewhere.

[ripe quest]

Just use a Gradient Layer... Layer > New Fill Layer > Gradient...

[shell obsidian]

Hello you beautiful people of the internet! I was just wondering does anyone know how you can make your face appear this big and still have good sharp quality on the face? the file size must be 2mb though which is the tricky part.
Image

[true arrow]

Saving as a JPEG will keep it small but hi-res

[iron sedge]

i did that

but its still low quality

[hushed niche]

Ok, I really wonder how you understood that from their questions.

[ripe quest]

Because I attempted to sort through this yesterday. The problem is: this person is insisting that its just some "filter" that can be applied. When its not that at all.

[true arrow]

Are you maximizing output quality on the quality slider when you save?

[iron sedge]

yes

[true arrow]

Is this the specific thumbnail?

Are you irritated with the artifacting around the eyes?

[hushed niche]

Hi, I do not think that they grabbed that image from a video. They took a high-resolution and well lit image, with a lens adequate for portraits. But on mobile, I almost missed the exaggerated blur on the edge of the face.

[iron sedge]

its just when i try to do that, my face is not as sharp as his and i have my import and export settings all set. Could it just be lighting and a high resolution camera that they had?

[true arrow]

Ahhhh gotcha. This isnt the thumbnail in question

Yeah, could be your actual source material

You could always use neural filters or smart sharpen

[iron sedge]

its the thumbnail of a video from youtube. also yes i just noticed there is blur on the side of the face, do you know what else he seemd to have added to his face to make it stand out more?

[iron sedge]

also is it gaussian blur?

[iron sedge]

thank you i will give that a try!

[iron sedge]

i just dont understand how someone can resize their face that big in a thumbnail and still keep a good sharp face quality

[ripe quest]

What is it that you need help with exactly?

[iron sedge]

you think he used blur around his face and then sharpened the actual face itself?

[true arrow]

I'm pretty sure it's a picture he took of himself

[north coral]

i don't have generative fill can you extend one image for me?

[true arrow]

Actually I know for a fact it is

the lighting is different

[iron sedge]

yes it is, its just really high quality to be able to put into 2mb file size which is what im trying to figure out how he did 😆

Hi there! Does someone know how i can tell firefly to remove smth for example this hat? :D

i thought 16 bit was better than 8 bit?

[true arrow]

16 bit is better than 8 bit but it's gonna increase your file size

[iron sedge]

should i prioritize 2k resolution image over 16bit then? also where do i find dpi and what does it do exactly? sorry if ima newb

[true arrow]

also lastly here it is when I used the sharpen tool

[iron sedge]

im able to fit a 2k resolution into 2mb for higher quality which is what i want.

[iron sedge]

oh that looks way better. what the. Sharpen tool mode normal with strength at 50%? is that what u used for this

[true arrow]

Yup sharpen tool at 50%

[iron sedge]

ok thank you so much Ryan!

[true arrow]

looks a little TOO intense before export

but just experiment

np! Glad I could help

[iron sedge]

for export did you do jpeg 100% with bicubic sharpener?

Thats the last question then ill shutup

[true arrow]

lol dont worry about "shutting up"

youre good

Is that a CHALLENGE

[iron sedge]

oh wow XD, i guess there is alot that can be learned inside photoshop.

[iron sedge]

lmao XD

[hushed niche]

Yes! Helping others for 25+ years, and still learning thanks to workflows I did not try before.

[sly hawk]

Lol. If you saw the level of ~~ignorance ~~ naivety of many new photoshop users, you'd see that "top 1%" isn't as impressive as it sounds 🙂

[hushed niche]

For printing on high end printers, yes, but it would be discarded online, just makes the file heavier in your case.

Is that a ROAST

One of your personal characteristics that I respect the most is your humility. :)

[fickle phoenix]

Hey Everyone. I'm a complete beginner in photoshop software by using wacom one tab, so would you please like to guide me on how do I create a fuzzy pencil brush in photoshop software a step by step guidance would be appreciated via screenshots and keys? A youtube tutorial link or a video tutorial link by your side would be appreciated to understand the things more clearly.

[ripe quest]

You could probably download a brush (or many brushes) that Adobe has provided. https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/brushes.html - Check out the "Dry Media" set.

[iron sedge]

so in regards for a youtube thumbnail photo, it would be better to do a 8bit and not a 16bit? the quality of the photo itself doesnt change?

[fickle phoenix]

I already have the pre-installed brushes. I am talking about the fuzzy paint brush how do I create that like a jingsketch brushes plz read my question carefully

[ripe quest]

You'd have to provide an example because I don't know what a "fuzzy pencil brush" actually means to you. (I don't know what jingsketch brushes are.)

[hushed niche]

Some sites might even choke on 16 bits files.

[fickle phoenix]

See as I have mentioned above I'm a complete beginner. If I really knew what exactly is a fuzzy pencil ,then I wouldn't have asked my question here.

[iron sedge]

thanks

Its your term. A fuzzy pencil brush to me might mean something completely different than it does for you. Can you show me a picture of something created with this ideal brush?

I can see these "Jing Sketch" brush sets for Procreate. The sample is very small and difficult to see. Is that what you're referring to?

[hushed niche]

[fickle phoenix]

Yeah maybe I have been referring to a tutorial but unfortunately in that, the fuzzy pencil brush creation is not mentioned how it is going to be created. That's why I am asking you. How is it created? If I really knew how is it created. Then I wouldn't have asked here. As I mentioned already that I am a complete beginner in photoshop. I am asking how to create a fuzzy pencil brush in a photoshop software in wacom one tab?

[ripe quest]

I'm not asking you how it was created. I'm asking what it means to you. You're using a term "fuzzy pencil brush" which can mean 100 different things.

[fickle phoenix]

Okkk but I have no clue. For me it just means some pencil with this name.

[ripe quest]

I have no clue either... which is why I asked for your definition.
This is what it means to me. Granted I didn't spend a lot of time creating this custom brush. However, its my attempt at a "fuzzy pencil brush." Works better at smaller diameters.

[fickle phoenix]

The fuzzy pencil of jingsketch brush looks like this.

[fickle phoenix]

I think you've skipped that part on how do I create that brush?

[ripe quest]

I didn't skip it. I have to first define what it is that you're talking about.

Furthermore, trying to create this is going to be somewhat difficult for a beginner. Thus, you should check this brush pack provided by Adobe. And look at the pencil brushes provided there and see if any of them are close to the style you're interested in. https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/brushes.html

[pastel orchid]

is there a way to make the drop shadow smaller? the goal is to make the drop shadow only on the inside, for it to not go outside the circle, just on the inside of it, can you do that in the blending options or? I guess I can just make another smaller circle, make it black put opacity low and apply blur but I'm just asking if there's a way to do it in the blending options

like that, but if there's an option for that in blending options for everything, including glow would be helpful

[ripe quest]

Instead of doing that, what about just tracing out a new vector shape with the Ellipse Tool and assigning a stroke color that matches that?

Or am I misunderstanding what you already have?

[pastel orchid]

I mean in the 2nd pic I did the thing like I said above, I did use the elipse tool, then made it smaller than the original, centered it, and just put the opacity lower and gausian blur

i guess it's what you tsaid

kk then that's fine, for glow it's the same thing or?

[ripe quest]

I think that is probably the easier/more controllable way to approach it.

[pastel orchid]

just tried, it's fine, it's just last question, if I wanted it in the future to be bigger, shadow/glow would i need to erase the part going outside of where it's supposed to go, like let's say I put gaussian blur a lot higher than it should be

[hushed niche]

Hi, you could have selected the central part, jump it to a layer (CTRL+J), then assign an inner glow in a dark color, set to a multiply blend mode. Or an inner shadow, it would only show on the inside. Another solution is to add a layer mask, paint on the outside with black and in the blending options, check « layer mask hides effects. »

[pastel orchid]

sounds interesting and helpful but can you explain what do you mean by selecting the central part?

yeah the 2nd thing is fine but this is easier

but the 1st thing you said sounds interesting so if you can explain would be thankful :v

[hushed niche]

I see you created a white ellipse to fake the blur; work from there, add an inner shadow, or an inner glow.

[pastel orchid]

ah it's not a white elipse

it's just a stroke

an orange stroke

there no fill in it

so I can't do that I guess

[ripe quest]

You could create an an Ellispse with a Gradient fill that transitions from grey to white for example, that would probably serve the same purpose. Just another way of looking at it.

[pastel orchid]

kk thx guys!

[grave cloud]

Hi, how can I keep this locked as default

[ripe quest]

Yeah. I don't think it will persist across documents or sessions.

[ripe quest]

You can set that one Pref. ---> Edit > Preferences > General.... Uncheck "Use Legacy Free Transform"

I think that will force it to lock the height and width.

That is a persistent setting.

[delicate scarab]

Does anyone know how to make some part of the background burn? Like the same type of burning you get when burning paper, but this time for the ,wall

Would love to know if someone has the experience to do it and knows where i can learn

[ripe quest]

What is the goal here? To just have burned paper edges in the background or to actually have the paper burning, like on fire?

[ripe quest]

There seem to be burnt paper backgrounds that you can download...

[delicate scarab]

Imagine the red circle are spots that are on fire and burning

This looks interesting... https://resourceboy.com/textures/burnt-edge-paper-textures/

[delicate scarab]

im looking for soemthing like this

so i can just put it on the wall to get the burning effect

instead of actual pager

paper*

[ripe quest]

If you can find image assets that have the burnt edge and the fire, great. If not, you'd have to create that yourself. So... yeah. heh

[delicate scarab]

ill try and see how it goes

[sly hawk]

Oh, I thought you meant the background looked too plain... - I'd suggest an actual texture go there,,,,

[delicate scarab]

wdym by texture?

[sly hawk]

(I faff around in the 2nd half of the video)

[delicate scarab]

And ye to clariy, I want to make it look like the background is on fire

well some parts at least

[ripe quest]

You could put the "holes" where you need them and then try to add the fire afterwards. Either compositiing image assets or using Gen Fill, perhaps.

Although, I actually like the texture that James was fooling around with. heh

I think the burning paper could end up looking a bit... phoney. :)

[sly hawk]

Maybe a fire texture then?

[delicate scarab]

we it be possible to pin point that texte on certain parts of the wall?

Since I dont want the whole thing to be bnurning but just certain parts

I still want to showcase the blood splatters, etc.

[ripe quest]

I have to hop on a meeting. Hopefully, James can help you get it across the finish line. Good luck!

Does anyone know how to change the color of clothing using a hex color code? Im able to change the color of clothing using camera raw plugin and i really like it as well cause it looks natural but i cant pick a specific color on it which really sucks. Thanks to anyone who replies 😄 (trying to do exact colors because i wanna do complimentary colors on two different objects)

[river otter]

Does anyone know how to stretch an image but just in one corner?

Like I have a rectangular image but I am trying to fit it into an irregular quadrilateral

[ripe quest]

You could try to Warp it. Edit > Transform > Warp...

You could also try making a selection and using Edit > Content-Aware Scale...

Hello. Can you please post this in #📝project-feedback. This channel is really more for help with specific Photoshop issues. @next sphinx

[ripe quest]

It might be possible with Hue/Saturation Adjustment, if you can make a good selection.

[iron sedge]

Humann would you happen to know if camera raw plugin has a hex color code? because i couldnt find any

[iron sedge]

i tried it but i dont like it, i get very very good results with camera raw.

[ripe quest]

You can't do that in the Camera Raw filter.

[iron sedge]

you cant choose a specific hex color code though

atleast not that i could find.

[ripe quest]

"Can't" typo

[iron sedge]

my bad my bad

[ripe quest]

No. It was my typo.

[iron sedge]

not fluent so thats my excuse

oh

i made the same mistake i noticed

[ripe quest]

How did you try to do this with Adjustment Layers? And why didn't you like it?

[iron sedge]

oh i see, omg i thought you said you "can" do it.

im dumb lol

[river otter]

Skew tool worked perfectly

[iron sedge]

why is it not a feature in camera raw? hex color code.

[ripe quest]

It was designed for photographers/photography. Not web design. :)

[iron sedge]

ill try it again, i just liked the way camera raw one looks

[ripe quest]

Hex codes are used in coding.

[iron sedge]

i feel like using a specific color # would be very useful though :p

[ripe quest]

Sure, if you're "filling" a selection. You can't really do that in Camera Raw. You're (usually) making adjustments to an entire flattened layer.

[iron sedge]

mmk makes a little bit of sense

[ripe quest]

It's generally used for refinement. Not design, really.

[iron sedge]

aah i see

i like it cause its sooooo whats the word minimalist? idk, its like everything is ez on it and everything i need (except color#) is there.

[ripe quest]

The Camera Raw Filter is one of my favorite features inside Photoshop.

[iron sedge]

i would highly agree with you on that 👍

i always use it for every photo.

alright ima give the hue/saturation adjustment thing another try.

[ripe quest]

You can try making a selection around the thing. Then add a Color Fill Layer. Choose a specific color. Then set the Blend Mode of the Layer to "Color."

[iron sedge]

how do i turn down the brightness or saturation of it?

oh nvm Levels seemed to do it.

nvm i could add hue/saturation as well to it

[ripe quest]

You have to realize that while you can choose a specific hue/RGB value, that color will shift based on light/shadow in the scene. So #FF0000 is red but we usually don't see colors that saturated in the real world.

[iron sedge]

ya ik it was too saturated

[ripe quest]

So yeah. You can choose #FF0000 but that might not be "realistic" and may look weird in the image depending on various factors.

[ripe quest]

Did you try trying different Blend Modes for that Layer? Try Hue or Color to see if it helps.

[iron sedge]

yeah ik XD

[iron sedge]

yeah thats what i just did rn and its working sort of for the most part

that still looks unnatural or?

is there a reason you cant pick black or white as a color? it seems to just turn grey always, ik in camera raw you cant at all pick black or white as a color.

[ripe quest]

It's believable. I might make the drawstrings a different color to try and sell the effect.

[iron sedge]

oh true true ur smart

[ripe quest]

For the same reason as I mentioned with red. White isn't really white. Black isn't really black. When light shines on the surface there is scattering, you have bounce light, there are many factors. Not sure I have the time to discuss the physics of how light works ATM. :)

A white surface (that is even a bit shiny) sitting next to a blue object will pick up some of that blue. Thus, white isn't really white when you look at it. heh

[iron sedge]

makes a little bit of sense, but yeah i see what you mean, light can change the color of something. (is what i got)

oooooooooooooooooooh that makes sense, thats why you remember that blue black dress?, some people though it was white and gold while some though it was blue and black or am i dumb.

[ripe quest]

There are a lot factors that can affect it.

[iron sedge]

this is what i was able to find.

[ripe quest]

You can look at a certain objects that people will say is "black" but when you look closely, its more blue or red or whatever. Its not #000000. heh

[iron sedge]

i dont think i have ever in my entire life seen pure black before

irl

[frail loom]

did you look at the solar eclipse

[iron sedge]

nah it wasnt in my area 😦

[frail loom]

while wearing glasses, the surrounding film around the sun doesn't absorb light so thats pure black

like if you look through those at the ground

[iron sedge]

ahh i see

[ripe quest]

I doubt anyone actually sees R: 0, G: 0, B: 0.

[iron sedge]

as in a pure black color i mean, lol obviously when i close my eyes i see pure black.

[frail loom]

full blind people

[iron sedge]

yes

[ripe quest]

How do they know its black?

[frail loom]

do people without eyes see black or conceptually nothing

[frail loom]

idk bruh dont ask me 😭

[iron sedge]

OH UR RIGHT BECAUSE

oh wait im not gonna say

[ripe quest]

Then you don't know what blind people see (in their mind's eye)

[frail loom]

Hey all, I'm trying to create a brush that looks like the animation style from the show 'Smiling Friends'.

OK so would you please like to guide me which fuzzy pencil brush is closest to the adobe dry media default brushes? I think I have shared that picture of fuzzy pencil by jingsketch

[ripe quest]

I don't know which one is most like the JingSketch brush. Anyways, its not for me to say which is most suitable for you. You'll have to install the brushes contained in Adobe's Dry Media Pack and try them out for yourself. I'm sure you can find many brushes in there that you'll like. There are also hundreds of other brushes at the same website.

[fickle phoenix]

OK yeah. I already have those brushes installed. Thanks a lot for helping me out. Thanks a gazillion.

wait its grayed

[ripe quest]

Hmm. Not sure whats up with that. You can try that "Reset Preferences on Quit" button and restart Photoshop.

You're going to have to set up any custom prefs again afterwards.

[long maple]

ah that's fine

[long maple]

thanks it worked

[fickle phoenix]

But I think you as a professional digital artist you can teach me as a beginner on how to create that fuzzy pencil paint brush?

[ripe quest]

I don't make a lot of custom brushes. Since I've never used the JingSketch brushes, I doubt I can design a brush exactly like that.

Also, I can't teach you how to do it if you're not familiar with Photoshop. You'll have to start with the basic tutorials that come with the app.

Regardless, I'm not going to do a better job than Kyle Webster from Adobe. You should watch his video on YouTube about brush basics. He goes into great detail about all the settings and teaches how to make new brushes and modify existing brushes. https://www.youtube.com/live/V6BgnRoURwI?si=yTmia4KvXRIX5hvR

Lastly, if what you really want are the JingSketch Brushes, you could just go on Gumroad and purchase them. According to the JingSketch page, the "Fuzzy Pencil" brush is in there.

Hello I have a display problem when I am in Photoshop I only have two layers here is a video (I speak French)

[native shard]

Hey, so after taking plenty of looks at this i feel like i am missing something, the images looks off like as if it was just copy/pasted into the background, yet i cant figure out what i should be doing to make it NOT appear as so

this is the original bottle

If anyone got any ideas with steps on how to go about it, it will be truly appreciated

[vapid flume]

Yes, the students plan are not different than the standrad ones (except the price) and don't forget that if you still qualify, you got the substance suite for free as well!

[vapid flume]

That's because your bottle is "flat", as in evenly lighted from the frot
Howeveer
The directlion of light in the original is not from the front (but from the left side)

take cues from other parts of the image to determine that

For example you got other bottles in the cabinet in the back, they should help somehow to guess the direction of light.

You could aslo create a sort of mock bottle in a 3D software, set up lights and cameras and see where the sgdows drop. On the table, on the bottle...

then the bottle is way too light. it doesn't fit the intensity of light from the background (low, soft lighting)

and the reflection on the table is a tad too intense. Again, take cues from the nearby objects (eg: the gloves)

Being a nit picker here: The perspective of the bottle (taken from slighly below eye level) doesn't match the perspective of the background. (slightly above eye level)

It also look like the bottle have been taken with a slight wide angle while the background was more a longer lens, given the shallow depth of field...

[native shard]

*You replied to me, not @ember trout. Anyways here is your answer @ember trout *

[vapid flume]

Oups, sorry!

[native shard]

Ah yes, that is there

[vapid flume]

Are you generating the background before integrating the bottle?

You should try to generate a bottle on the background. Just to see what the machine comes up with

It will give you a good reference if it gets things right

[native shard]

Yeah, true the gloves, flowers dont have that much depth in shadow/reflections

[vapid flume]

of course you'll have to discard it after, but generally the GenAi follow light direction etc

[native shard]

Yeah, unfortunatly that is the only image I was provided with

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @native shard (current: #182 - 8)

[native shard]

Yeah, and then after that i remove the stuff and put in the real bottle

[vapid flume]

I think you then need to generate another image and indicate the camera parameters, like point of view and lens lengh, possibly the f/ number as well....

[native shard]

This is the original image

As you can see here the reflection is pretty big in depth, thats why i followed, although the lighting is clearly coming from the left, so yeah i gotta fix that in mine

[vapid flume]

Sometimes backgrounds and foregrounds just don't work at all together. There is really nothing you can do about that, except change one. Also, I think the perspective error is somewaht minor compared to all the rest.

Sorry, I don't
Also, your old message is very far away in the thread, and people ussually don't scroll that far. If you can post it again, maybe that's ll be more helpful for folks willing to give an answer

[native shard]

Do you suggest I create a new background with proper lighting etc etc, or it is indeed possible to fix this?

[vapid flume]

That said, it really looks slike something done in Illustrator for me. But I may be wrong

[vapid flume]

The perspective will be very difficult to fix. The rest I think it's possible (if not easy)

[native shard]

Well, fixing the lighting **perfectly **might take around max 20 minutes, although I don't know about the rest.

[vapid flume]

Have you considered the fact that they may have drawn it by hand?

I mean that looks very much like someone who knows how to draw

or maybe do you mean the slightly posterised effect we see here?

(in that case: image>adjustment>posterise, with a high number of colours, not just 2)

[native shard]

Alright, Understood. Thanks for the nit picker btw, i really appreciate every single detail you pointed out and the tips to figure that out!

this part

That doesn't feel like AI at all. Maybe you should ask them directly?

It's difficult when we don't see the "before"

Which is fair enough 🙂

They said "yourself" 😂 (sorry!)

it really looks like posterise, or any of the filter gallery effects such as paint daubs, or similar

I guess you'll have to test them

Filter> filter gallery

Sorry, not, I don't see how a template would help

Are you sure it's in Photoshop?

Because a Photoshop template will only give you a set size, guides, colour model etc

[covert warren]

yes

[vapid flume]

Not specific filters

Posterise?

I gave you all I could think of, sorry. See if someone else has a solution!

it's an adjustment, I explained where to find it earlier

Also, I really don't use plugins (I only use 1! 🙂 )

So I can't help here

[hoary locust]

how can i make this look retro/vintage, apart from adding noise to it (which i will do at the end)

[vapid flume]

If you're sure it's a plug-in, you could do worse than checking in the Adobe Marketplace, and see if there is something for you

[vapid flume]

None at all! You need to search yourself with the filters (program, keywords, etc...)

[vapid flume]

POssibly reduce the saturation, see how old adverts were printed, and how the print techniques weren't as colour bright as they are today

[hoary locust]

this is what i came up with, if anyone has suggestions or improvements, please feel free to tell me

[vapid flume]

You will need some sort of reference, retro vintage means lots of things

[hoary locust]

oh yeah, i forgot to reduce saturation

[vapid flume]

Also the brightness of the headlights, I feel it kills the mood a bit

Depends the kind of era you want to mimic tbh

[hoary locust]

im not actually sure what vintage or retro even means to me 😂 i kinda just want to replicate that 90's grainy kind of aesthetic

if you get me

[burnt oasis]

im trying to copy paste something into my photoshop and its just making the entire screen black (its doing it to anything i try to insert)

this is what im trying to insert, for reference;

[vapid flume]

Pinterest!
that's more 80s than 90s, but see how things look washed out a bit.

also you can add a halftone pattern (in the filter gallery) to mimic the printed result
https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/31736372358998983/

[vapid flume]

Have you tried to file>place>embed instead? I rarely copy/paste to be honest, if the png (assuming it's a png) is a bit wrong, copy/paste tend to be a pain more than anything else

Better do things properly

[burnt oasis]

Alr

also

is there anyway to cutout this existing mask using a circle?

[hoary locust]

heres what I came up with

lowered the brightness of the headlights and lowered the saturation a bit

[burnt oasis]

• its just re-adding the background, whereas i want it to slit off the edge

mb if its a simple fix i dont rly know what im doing

[vapid flume]

assuming you want to create a new path contain what's in the circle AND the existing one, you need to us this

I highlighted "exclude" while it would be "intersect" if that's what you want to do

[warm prism]

Hello, I make skins on photoshop but after while when I click image 10 it’s automatically suppose to show the second layer so I can merge the layer 2 down but it’s not for some reason it keeps popping up with “error occurred” I need help fixing this issue.

Please @ me when you guys have a solution please.

[sly hawk]

don't COPY AND PASTE it

drag the PNG to your desktop, and then drag and drop the file into your PSD file

Hi, would like to apologize if it is not the correct chat to ask in (It likely isn't but ;p) but, I kinda can't seem to figure out how I should put a small description text in the bottom area so that it is clearly visible and looks good as well in this banner: https://images2.imgbox.com/00/b6/Y0UKvdAi_o.png
any ideas appreciated
any relevant designs to take ideas from will also be helpful, thanks.

[sly hawk]

Maybe something like this?
https://github.com/rh12503/triangula

[sly hawk]

[maiden notch]

tysm, I mean kinda like the design of the text

so that it is more readable

im starting to realize there is a lot of ways you can change the color of clothing.

ive found though that a mix of color fill, curves,levels and hue/saturation gives me the most natural and realistic results.

[sly hawk]

hue/saturation can work well, but unless you sit there playing with sliders and 'doing it by eye', it's hard co confidently match to a certain colour.

If you do prefer that route, check out this short video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JIZymCmvqU

[iron sedge]

does anyone know how much effort or like what these people specifically did as in edits that went into these type of thumbnails? im really really into photoshop rn and wanting to make sick cool looking photos like these, i have a lot on my edit list to learn but just in general what stands out in these photos?

[iron sedge]

ill give this a try thank you :D!

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sly hawk (current: #5 - 905)

[iron sedge]

mostly just the right photo because the left one has too much going on. could they have used 3d photos? because the chairs really pop out for me or create a 3d depth look to them

[maiden notch]

okay so I did it like this:
any suggestions? thanks bro

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sly hawk (current: #5 - 906)

[sly hawk]

It's nice. The font works well. - maybe move the copy a bit further away from the heading. - it's a bit top heavy

also, a typo here and here?

[maiden notch]

Oh, that wasn't custom made, I connected 2-3 of them together.

I'll try to fix it

[sly hawk]

Yeah, I assumed it was where they connected

[sly hawk]

Just use the clone tool

[maiden notch]

still looks werid lol

[sly hawk]

See above 🙂 @maiden notch

[maiden notch]

Oh, that's pretty cool.

lemme try, tysm

[sly hawk]

no.

Why don't you try it. - it's your project.

Hi, proper lighting is key to good photography. Having a portrait lens (85mm) and a high-resolution camera. After that post processing in a raw converter to color balance, selective sharpening. But I’m wondering if the left images do not use Generative AI for the seats.

[hushed niche]

Hello, I see image base lighting. It is part of the now retired 3D features, see: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/3d-faq.html you might have to download an older version to edit those.

[iron sedge]

i thought the left images used 3d photos but im not too sure. Also i was thought wondering a portrait lens was 50mm? i guess im wrong. Lastly what do you mean by this "After that post processing in a raw converter to color balance"

[hushed niche]

Hi, we can only give you the same answers we did yesterday. The closest thing to go from the top left image to the top right is surface blur. There is no one click cartoon effect. Please show more before and after, as the images seem to come from a videogame, this they might be cartoony to begin with.

[hushed niche]

Taking the properly lit image in raw format, and using camera raw or Lightroom to edit it.

[iron sedge]

aah ok thats what i do 😄

At 2 meters, an 85 frames the face, a 50 would be more of a half body. It all depends what you are after.

[iron sedge]

going for a face and upper body shot like the photo showed. that would require a 85mm? for best high quality details on the face?

[warm prism]

Can you send me the older version so I can do it.

[iron sedge]

nvm i see now

[hushed niche]

Bonjour! It seems like a graphic card issue, see: https://helpx.adobe.com/be_fr/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cc-gpu-card-faq.html make sure your drivers are up to date, you might try the disable native canvas or old GPU options described on the document

[hushed niche]

You might need to contact Adobe support, or check in your Creative cloud app: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html

[warm prism]

I’ll do this when I get home, and if it doesn’t work I’ll get back to you.

We cannot send you an old installer. Only Adobe support can.

Does anyone know a better way than the quick selection and refine brush method to make a mask selection of the hair? especially for someone who has hair strands that go all over the place. I noticed this is very hard to do and everyone on site recommends the same method but i cant get it perfect.

[ripe quest]

Try this: https://youtu.be/23fLFEIqGrI?si=d9VUgz-i4pNfc8Qv --- Its all filters.

[ripe quest]

And search YouTube for similar effects tutorials. Then do what we all do, explore and experiment until you find a workflow that works for you.

[warm prism]

Ok.

[light turtle]

How do I add highlights to the face like this;

For reference, this is my thumbnail:

[ripe quest]

Add an Adjustment Layer like Levels and paint on the Layer Mask for the adjustment so it only affects certain areas.

[light turtle]

I tried that but for some reason it just make it look like an overlay. I'll try again tho

[agile bramble]

Hi! I’m looking for some help. Currently making a graphic for car/racing style clothing. I’m trying to crop out the RPM gauge from a S2000 dashboard, but the lasso can’t identify what I’m trying to select. Any suggestions?

[ripe quest]

Draw a path around it with the Pen Tool. Then you can convert that path into a selection.

[light turtle]

one sec

wrong image

[ripe quest]

That "light" shining down, the edges are WAY too sharp...

[light turtle]

alright ill add a guasin blur

[ripe quest]

This is just quick but this idea...

[light turtle]

I'm trying to make it more of a youtube thumbnail. It looks a bit too contrasty

hmm

one sec

[ripe quest]

I'm working off your pre-edited image with that cone over the face... I'm showing how you might set up the Adjustment Layers and masks. I'm not "doing" this for real. If I was, I would need the original image.

Also, if I was creating this, I would probably do a majority of the work using a Camera Raw filter.

[light turtle]

I'm kinda new how would I do that?

[ripe quest]

This is why I suggested that you use Adjustment Layers. That workflow is probably going to be easier for you to work with.

[light turtle]

How did you make the white more define?

[ripe quest]

First, I would just get rid of that cone of light. It is not adding anything to this image. In fact, its making this look worse, IMO.

[ripe quest]

If you want to add something like that afterwards, for a very subtle effect then maybe.

[light turtle]

Yeah, but I like th way you highlighted the face. How would you do it exactly?

[ripe quest]

I mean, I just showed you. I added Levels Adjustment Layers. Bumped up the lighter values. Fill the entire mask with black. Then, using a soft round brush, I painted over certain spots with white to reveal the effect.

[light turtle]

Yeah, the issue is when I follow instructions it's kinda off. Because I'm assuming you're using photoshop. I can't afford photoshop rn so I'm stuck using photopea.

[ripe quest]

One my image, I had to add one adjustment for the shadows to counteract what you did in the image you posted.

[ripe quest]

Well, I don't use Photopea so I don't know what to tell ya. Sorry!

[light turtle]

no prob, I'll try to do what you said I'll let you know how it goes! thx

[ripe quest]

Good assumption. We're in the Photoshop server. We're not really here to support Photopea. Perhaps try in the Photopea server and they might have more ideas for you.

[light turtle]

Yeah that server is basically dead. no responses lol

[light turtle]

btw by bumping lighter values do you mean increase brightness or increase the white?

[ripe quest]

I don't know what you're using or how it works in Photopea but Levels in Photoshop allows you to adjust intensity levels of image shadows, midtones, and highlights.

[light turtle]

Yeah they have that

[light turtle]

Color balance right?

[ripe quest]

Levels.

[light turtle]

Yeah, so I increase all of it?

[ripe quest]

Well, I was mostly focused on the highlights.... Left side of the histogram.

But the whole thing might need to be adjusted.

[grave cloud]

it was working fine but I don't know what really happened
update: It works fine now after I reset the preferences

[ripe quest]

How many times are you going to ask the same question?

Did you try the tutorial I suggested? --> #❓ask-a-question message

I just sent you that tutorial this morning...

Nobody knows what "filter" you're referring to. You've been given multiple suggestions to try by various people here.

No. Its someone's workflow which likely combines many different tools, techniques, filters, etc. If the person you've talked to won't tell you how to do that exact effect, then you'll have to investigate all the information you've been given here and then experiment and try things for yourself until you stumble upon the workflow that works for you. This is what we all do.

[lucid crane]

How do you know that its just filters, templates and plugins?

[lucid crane]

Thats a shame because sadly after three days of you asking the same question, none of the experts here knows the secret of what your guy did. Best to wait til he’s less busy and ask him again 🙂

Sadly, nobody knows. Wait and ask the guy

Yes, I know them better than you and they dont know

[ripe quest]

What this person is doing is called "image manipulation." They are doing many different operations to arrive at this. Its not just a "filter" or a plugin. You can tell just by looking at the two images. The colors are completely shifted in parts of the image and not others. The character has a gun strapped to his back that was not there in the original. Its a manipulated image.

[lucid crane]

I’m sure by now if somone knew they would have helped

[ripe quest]

Using the tools inside Photoshop.

Many different tools and techniques.

I'd suggest that you start by learning how to actually use Photoshop.

Start with the beginner tutorials that Adobe provides.

Get familiar with the basic tools and operations so you understand what is going on.

Posterization. Gradient Maps. Filter Gallery. Hand painting. Layer Masks.

[swift dock]

how can I change the brightness of a single layer?

[ripe quest]

Add a Brightness/Contrast or Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer and clip it to the layer below. Add the Adjustment Layer and move it directly above the desired layer. To clip it: right-click on the adjustment layer and choose 'Create Clipping Mask'. Then it will only affect that layer.

[ripe quest]

Do you need a demo or have you got it under control?

yo guys where can i find a screen like this? i cant find something like this on the internet but i know its fake pls help i need this

[ripe quest]

It's probably cobbled together from several GUIs. Individual pieces are cherry-picked and composited together.

[silver merlin]

how would u do it if u were me

how should i start

i cant do a base screen because i dont have any earnings from yt and my page looks completely different than here

[ripe quest]

You could still take a screenshot and then modify only those portions that need to be updated.

[silver merlin]

yeah but look

wait a sec

it looks like this for me

i dont even have the estimated revenue option available

notice how these options are red here

and mine are white so it has to be edited

idk what should i do

[silver merlin]

i wanted to find a screenshot like this and just edit it

give my pfp in the right corner and change the money

[ripe quest]

Well, if you can't find one that's close enough to edit, then you'll have to do something else.

[silver merlin]

what should i do then

[ripe quest]

Hmm. I dunno. Make something?

[silver merlin]

how did you do that?

[ripe quest]

Image manipulation. Image compositing. Pixel pushing.

[warm prism]

This didn’t work btw.

[ripe quest]

It would be probably take a long time to explain everything. However, I can send you my example, if you want to look at it. See what I did. Play around.

Or can you get it from the screen shot?

[silver merlin]

i need a screen like this

but this one is poor quality

[ripe quest]

Yeah. Well, you'll either have to find one somewhere or screen grab the GUI on your phone and manipulate it.

[ripe quest]

Then I guess you better pay that other guy to give up his secret recipe.

[hoary locust]

how can i replicate this particle effect. I already tried using the dissolve blend mode and it didnt come out how I wanted.

[sly hawk]

Can you add dissolve to an outer glow effect?

[ripe quest]

It looks like you'd need to two layers and a mask to hide a portion of one with the effect and one without.

[hoary locust]

i tried that, it ended up looking too choppy and inconsistent with how spaced out the particles looked

[hoary locust]

yeah, do you know if theres anything in the filter gallery or something that could help get the particle look to it

[hushed niche]

Or the blur gallery filters, then dissolve, then merge with a normal layer, then blur and dissolve again?

[hoary locust]

maybe the settings im using for the blur are too harsh and thats why the dissolve layer isnt doing what i want it to

ill try it again

this is how the effect looks. i havent tried masking it yet with the orginal but i dont rlly like how the particles look

[sly hawk]

Oh, I was thinking of 'noise'. - but the other suggestions sound better than mine 🙂

I would like to know if Photoshop is capable of making bulk tickets with QR codes. I have ready PNG Qr Code images and CVS file and I have a ready Ticket template. How may I use adobe photoshop to instantly bulk generate tickets with QR codes.

[obsidian lichen]

How do they do this with letters? One part is behind part of the next letter while another os over the same letter

[serene coral]

does it work in other programs? do you have the proper drivers installed? It would really help if you described what you have already tried to make it work.

[serene coral]

what is your desired output format?

[serene coral]

Illustrator has a dedicated tool for this. https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/intertwine-objects.html
In Photoshop you have to use masks

[serene coral]

does your template include texts or images that need to be different on each copy?

[rotund sonnet]

[river otter]

I want to make a new brush using "define brush preset" but it is not highlighted, im unable to click it. why?

[serene coral]

make sure your layer is rasterized

[river otter]

which one

okay I got it

I rasterzized every layer

but its still grayed out

[serene coral]

to define brush preset, your layer has to be rasterized and you have to have a selection active

[astral dragon]

Im pretty new, I was just wondering why I couldnt edit the text in my project

[woven sleet]

no, all the same

[serene coral]

hi! can you clarify what exactly stops you from editing it? attaching a screenshot of the whole screen would be great too!

[serene coral]

ok, so the "bulk" is more about placing the ready images on a sheet of paper so you don't have to print them one by one, am I getting it right?

[woven sleet]

yes, the "bulk" is placing multiple of the same templates with consecutive QR codes on sheet of papers

[serene coral]

I can see "EDIT: MAIN TEXT" type layer. if you double click it's thumbnail it will highlight the text for you to change. I can also see "how to use" layer - you might want to enable it (click on the colored square next to it) and see what it says

[astral dragon]

Thanks so much! I figured it out

[serene coral]

ok, so the tickets are not all the same - you have to change the qr code on them, is this right?

[woven sleet]

Yes, I did mention it on my first message

I have a ready template, a background image, but alot of QR codes that are made consecutively. I am trying to find a way to apply all these ready QR codes on the Template for each various QR cod.

is there a way for me to add a window to photoshop where i can add images for like reference or something

like this but where i can add my own images

[serene coral]

when working with artboards, you can have images outside of your artboard and they will be visible, just like in Illustrator

[sweet field]

I like this software called pureref. It works fantastically, and easier than doing it inside Photoshop as you can have a lot of images and work with it independently.

[hoary locust]

i just downloaded it and i like it a lot, thanks

The water is different from the other one. I don’t think it is a filter, I do not see matching patterns.

[serene coral]

this one looks more like redrawn, not a filter or effect

posterize edges filter. bluring, masking, adjusting colors. that's it

[hushed niche]

There are hundreds of different filters, as many tools and workflows, thus there are billions of combinations to try. No one can experiment for you.
I did not see you post the results you got with our advices, like the surface blur…
Did you search videos of cartoon effects? there are lots of them!
You also mentioned custom filters, see this commercial plugin with lots of possibilities.
https://filterforge.com

[hushed niche]

I would suggest to post a thread in the #1223011682012369027 so that you are not monopolizing this place. It seems to me that you are repeatedly asking the very same question, had every expert I know of engage with you, received plenty of suggestions; but I am afraid it might be unfair to others that might see their post buried by the repeat posts.
I suggest also to peruse the reference material : https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/filter-effects-reference.html there were some books on the topic : search online for: « Photoshop book filters effects »and try to get the book at your local library.
But I think the hive mind here exhausted its resources, and showed lots of patience so far.

[ripe quest]

You can't turn up every day and ask the same question. You've been given heaps of suggestions and workflows to try. Now its on you to do your own experimentation and find a workflow that works for you.

[orchid canopy]

Hi! When I export my portraits out of photohsop, the quality is defaulted to 6 instead of 7 how I'd like it (maximum). I don't mind doing the extra step of changing it from 6 to 7 each time and waiting for those extra 2 seconds for it to register that I changed it from 6 to 7... but I also wouldnt mind it if it was just already defaulted at 7. Anyone know how I can default it to 7?

[ripe quest]

You're using the Quick Export feature?

[orchid canopy]

File --> export --> export as

[ripe quest]

That should persist for the session. I'm not sure why its not. Unless you're changing the format each time... (?)

[orchid canopy]

Not sure what you mean by format, but all I know is that every portrait I've ever exported, the quality is defaulted to.. not the highest. So I have to increase it each time i export

[ripe quest]

Yeah. I'm just trying it out now. With each new document the Quality is bumped back down to 6.

[orchid canopy]

Happy to hear it's not just a me thing. If you find a solution, I will be immensely grateful ❤️

[ripe quest]

You could try the "Quick Export" feature. First set your preference... Edit > Preferences > Export.... Quick Export Format

Then to execute that... File > Export > Quick Export...

I realize that it doesn't offer all of the options available in other Export features but it might be useful to you.

[orchid canopy]

that should do it! i'll give it a go. thank you very much (:
