[ripe quest]

I did not ping anyone. It happens to me on Discord mobile when (I assume) Discord cannot keep notifications on desktop and mobile platforms sync'd up.

[ivory rampart]

usually it's at.everyone in channel that you hid

like i have some pings over here in annouce channels

[fluid wasp]

Well the thing is it didn't show up in other channels or any channels. Except said they were in this server 😅

But yeah

Discord mobile is way glitchier than desktop

[ivory rampart]

yup

moved from android to ios and still have some random pings

[fluid wasp]

Sorry, thought you had replied then deleted your message

I mean that was my first thought for the ghost pings

[ripe quest]

Nope. I did not reply and delete.

[fluid wasp]

Got it

Should I ask that in the project feedback channel instead?

[ripe quest]

No. This is the proper place for questions.

You'll have to wait for someone to reply who might know the answer.

[fluid wasp]

My skill at ps is limited. Gotcha. So context. Someone had shared a modified texture map which they shared on a public forum, but never told the process on how to get it like that. So I had been trying to recreate/modify the map the way they did.

That person hasn't been online so I can't ask them either. 😭

[ripe quest]

I'm in the middle of something. I don't have time to offer any support at the moment. Sorry, folks.

[fluid wasp]

That's cool. I was just giving context to my question/query

[swift dock]

why is this popping up? The file is a .png file

[ripe quest]

Apparently, Photoshop's import filter doesn't think so. The file could be corrupted or the file could have an incorrect file extension.

[astral dove]

does anyone know how to make this thing on my collar?

[ripe quest]

Create a flat rectangular pattern. Merge the parts together and then "bend it" with a Transform operation. Edit > Transform > Warp...

[astral dove]

uhh

emm

[ripe quest]

Perhaps you'd benefit from doing the tutorials that Adobe provides with Photoshop. Help > Hands-on Tutorials...

[astral dove]

oh i just dont quite get the "create a flat rectangular pattern" 😭

[astral dove]

but will look some up

[ripe quest]

Draw rectangles in a long row. Merge them together. Then bend the thing with a Warp operation.

[astral dove]

oh oka

[astral dove]

is there any other way to do it? or no

[ripe quest]

Locate a similar image/texture via Stock Imagery assets online or generate a similar texture using Photoshop/Firefly and use that. I think just making your own would be faster and easier.

[astral dove]

Oh yeah it just doesnt quite look how i wanted it

[ripe quest]

Welcome to the world of computer graphics and design. Creative problem solving is the nature of this work.

[astral dove]

I want to achive something like that but when i wrap it i dont quite get it

Maybe i'm doing something wrong😅

[astral dove]

also where does dis thing come from? 😭

[ripe quest]

The Reference Point is shown when you Transform something. Edit > Transform...

[astral dove]

oh oka

[ripe quest]

I know "OK" and "okay" but what is "oka"?

[astral dove]

same thing

Does anyone know a similar font?

[hollow perch]

I am trying to create a form in photoshop, how can I create a straight line from one point to another?

Like this

[vapid flume]

If you want to join two already existing points , like in you're scenario, all you have to do is click on one, and then on the other (no dragging between the two)
it's the same when you want to draw a line from scratch, just click to place the point, and then the other
You can also draw a curved line and turn one point or all into straight lines.
In that case click on each point with this tool (convert point tool) or hold alt/opt while you're on the pen tool to switch between one tool and the other

You can find everything you need here
https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/editing-paths.html

[fluid wasp]

Can anyone help with this?

[vapid flume]

It's difficult to answer without downloading the .psd, and I am not willing to download a random file (and I suspect that's the case of about anyone here)
Can you share a screenshot of the image and your specific issue?

Sorry, Ignore me on that, I should have scrolled up higher

@fluid wasp what have you done so far to get to the result you've shared?

[fluid wasp]

Well I noticed people sharing PSD files in the project feedback or mods sharing stuff here. And I did ask about that as well. If there's any other format I can share in I can otherwise all I can show is my settings of what I had done and share the images that in trying to modify. Screenshots are up in the post.

[vapid flume]

Sorry, I am working on other stuff and I can't really look at .psd files now, however I can help with workflows on the top of my head.
Just as an aside: Mods are just that: mods, we are there to make sure nobody gets spammed or insulted and everything runs smoothly. I happen to also be a regular contributor, but I was before I was made a mod. Everyone can help others, this is actually highly encouraged.

From what I can see I would say onviously invert the image and then run a curves adjustment layer (or curves on an alpha channel) but I suppose you've already done that

[fluid wasp]

That's fair. I'm not sure if I'm looking for workflow as I've tried all stuff that I can. I shared the context of my query here. I'm trying to replicate someone else's stuff. So I have an original file, and a modified file. Since the person is offline I can't specifically ask the actual values or stuff done to it. I've done what I could and asked here if someone could improve upon my trials.

[vapid flume]

One way to check numbers would be the scatter a few samplers on the target image and place the same in the same areas in the original and get the to match with the method of your choice

see how it looks paired with the info panel

[fluid wasp]

Yep. I'm only looking for improvements if someone could get the results closer than what I got them to be like.

[vapid flume]

OK, so at this point you're more looking for someone to finish off the work for you than ways to do it yourself?

[fluid wasp]

That helped but I'm not sure what it is. There's a slight difference or I'm not sure if it's a mask. There's something else going on besides color inversion and/or curves/levels. That's what I'm unable to pinpoint.

[fluid wasp]

To be exact, yes. Idk finish is the right word since if no one else I'll have to sustain with the results I got. But yeah

[vapid flume]

There is a possibility that what appears to a be a grey scale image is not exactly grey: What do the numbers say?

As in, you should have 3 times the same numbers if that was ggrey, maybe the original isn't grey and you made it grayscle?

Just throwing things and see what's stick there

If that's the case that the image isn't really grayscale you'll need to work on the individual channels and correct each channle to match (again you can do that with the numbers in the imfo panel)

From what I see roughly on the examples I am seeing
The background is way lighter on the right
The tone gradation is steeper in your original, meaning that there is probably more contrast in the original than your target

you can see it around the "mouth", the right side as a smoother gradation from darker grey to lighter grey and eventually white on the mouth, but the original is in fact more abrupt, there are less steps in the gradient from dark to light

So typically, for this particular area you'd need to increase the contrast (basically lighten the lights and darken the darks)

see how the extreme aren't on the far right and far left anymore

It looks like you will have to make targetted corrections, with either masks or vector masks

and apply levels and/or curves only on specific areas of the file

If you really want to check what is different from one image to the other do this:

[fluid wasp]

Do you want me to send the image so you can analyze that? The original image is indeed greyscale but the person who modified it, switched the profile to RGB. It wasn't edited from PS but Gimp so the conversion probably happened from there. Okay lemme try my edits on after I remove the color channels.

[vapid flume]

place the two image neatly on top of the other, be really careful it's well aligned

Change the top one to the "diffrence" blending mode

Evereything that matches exactly will be plain black

so that the areas you will be happy with

I took an image randomly, I just adjusted the levels very slightly on the top one. The "difference" blending mode revealed the areas of change (the middle) and the surrounding being black, we can safely say it's matching the original (the botton layer)

[fluid wasp]

Okay, so the original is definitely greyscale, the modified seems to have RGB channels, but even if I greyscale, there doesn't seem to be any visible changes. If I turn the channels off, then there's quite a difference. Anyways. I've already tried that. Masks was my assumption but I don't think it's mask(s) that's being used.

[vapid flume]

here is when I only displlay the original

There are so many ways to achieve the same thing in Photoshop that we could be circling round for method, while I can get that the result is all that counts here

However, if it's truly grayscale everywhere, then you could go to image>mode>grayscale and you could see if it's now easier to correct once you don't have those persky channels to work with

because after all, if all is grey, you don't need the colour information

[fluid wasp]

That's being a problem

Let's say if I have the color channels, putting it to greyscale doesn't do anything or give any visible changes. But disabling the color channels definitely having an effect.

[vapid flume]

all you see now is the blue channel, you don't see the others (you would have to select RGB to see the whole thing)

[fluid wasp]

How can I export an image after I disable the other channels

[vapid flume]

Of course it has, the grey is the result of the mixing of all the channels

like you would mix an equal amount of red, blue and green paint to obtain grey. If you forget to mix the green, you'll get you won't get grey, you'll get purple

That the "purple" isn't displayed for some reason is not the issue. the issue is that the grreen info is missing from your mix

that's why I am telling you to turn it into grayscale, so you are genuinely buying grey paint, already mixed from the shop, instead of having to mix it yourself

[fluid wasp]

Can I export an image's individual channels as a png?

[vapid flume]

If you're 100% sure no masks were used, then that means you have access to the person who made it first and in that case, I would ask them directly

[vapid flume]

Yes you can, bear with me I need to rememeber how to do it

[fluid wasp]

it's been months and the person has been offline since, so no dice there.

[vapid flume]

Silly me: with calculations!
https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/saving-channels-to-png/td-p/10107745
now, you can try and acquaint yourself with calculations on a deeper leevl as it's a good way to MAYBE obtain the result you need

You can also try the channel mixer

[fluid wasp]

Fair, I guess I was wrong on the concept of what grey is. But, if I have an image that's already in greyscale, if I copy paste another image into that, wouldn't that turn the pasted image's data to greyscale too?

[vapid flume]

No necessarily if the documant is in RGB (I can see the file is in RGB in your screenshot)

it would if the document mode was in grayscale

[vapid flume]

Grey is just an equal mix of the R, G, and B nothing more. If your numbers look like 128/128/128 or 36/36/36 then it's grey

If they look different, it's not grey

even by 1 unit

if you convert your file into grayscale instead of having 3 channels to mix, you'll get one channel made up of X shades of black and white (eg: 128 shades in one channel)
RGB 8 bits is 128 shades in 3 channels
You can do the math for CMYK 8 bits (4 channels) and for 16 and 32 bits
If those files contain an Alpha channel (a transparency which what most games assets will be using) then you can add that extra channel to the computation.

More on the calculation menu
https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/channel-calculations.html

[fluid wasp]

If in difference mode the entire image is black, that means its identical right?

[vapid flume]

Yes. Just be careful as sometimes it's only maginally different, and difficult to see, particularly if your screen is not good, or not calibrated. As always believe the numbers

but if you are sure it's 100% black then all good

[fluid wasp]

Yeah it's 100% black, and yeah that was it. The numbers barely have a 1% of difference in one or two places out of the 8 I placed randomly.

So that's it, it was basically just removing the channels

[vapid flume]

So that means you're on the right track. Test in other areas just in case. Just drag your smapling points with the mouse if you are running out

[vapid flume]

Good you got there in the end!

Worth a read, if you want to understand what all that means

Oh nvm false alarm I had the same layers on 😅

[vapid flume]

Damn!

Anyhow, I really need to get back to work now 🙂
I'll leave you with all the links I shared, hoping it will help eventually!

Bye! 👋

I'll just wait for a few days and someone else. I don't think I have enough know how to get this but thanks for the help.

[rancid edge]

anyone know why when i try and acess blending menus on a lyer photoshop beta automaticly goes to the hand tool. and i have to press escape to get out but then it just goes back to default move tool . basicly i can(t acess blending mode menu because photoshop switches to hand tool

[ripe quest]

I cannot reproduce this bug. Try updating the app... or uninstalling and reinstalling the Beta.

Hello to you. Small question. Is there a way to remove all small pixels with an opacity of less than 100? Because I have a lot to delete but one by one it's impossible thank you

[dense perch]

How can I edit a mask with a single-pixel pencil? I only see brushes.

[static moth]

how do I make the distance between 2 objects even, I want to make the objects on the bottom border and top border the same but I don't have an idea how to do it

those rectangle 1 copy 6 and rectangle copy 4

[thick tangle]

Maybe smart guides can help u

[sly hawk]

You can use the alignment tools at the top of your screen 🙂

[sly hawk]

You use the pencil tool OUTSIDE of that mask edit window you're in.

[sly hawk]

Best way is to make a threshold adjustment

[sly hawk]

I don't think it's a photoshop issue. - I'd ask on the uefn forums/reddit

Np if u still have problems with it u can show rulers I think its called a then wheel click + hold and then drag .... it Will put on ur artboard some guidelines by ur own "preferences"

[burnt saddle]

I want the size of my brush to be constant, so I want to turn of the pen pressure for that.
I see toggle icons for opacity and flow and then an additional icon on the right that says it's for pen pressure size, but nothing changes, no matter if disabled or enabled. What can I do?

[vapid flume]

Can you check the settings of your specific brush and post a screenshot?
F5, brush settings tab

[vapid flume]

I would say it's drawn over with a vector based software like Illustrator.
You can try with a posterise effect in Photoshop (image>adjustment>posterise and choose a reduced number of colours) but you won't have that drawing quality you have here

So yes, my take is it's drawn by hand over the actual artwork

[celest nest]

Hi, the guy doing our usual graphic is having surgery so im filling in, im trying to resize a batch of pngs, which is usually fine. If they are the same size. Using the action tool to record the resize. But these are images of products im trying to resize to a certain size while keeping the proportions. I know he does these in batches somehow but i cant seem to figure it out

[ionic spoke]

did you make sure your constrain proportions was checked?

and are you able to even produce an action or do you need assistance with that

[celest nest]

yeah but the problem is i want all the images in 368 x 204, but not all of them are the same size and proportions, doing it manually would be fine since i could create an empty layer and then just transform the image to fit

i think i get how to do the action

its just a bunch of sushi products so in reality they are kind of the same size already but for whatever reason the original sizes are not all the same

like these for example

so basically i just need for it to register the white space and change that to the right format iguess

[ionic spoke]

ok you just will have to add in another step,

after resizing image to your wanted dimensions along with the constrained proportions. The add a new layer, fill with white, image > canvas resize, use the anchor point at the centered inage

image

this should take care of the any differences in certain sizing and make sure there is uniform sizing @celest nest

[celest nest]

ahh okay ill try that out, thanks a bunch

[ionic spoke]

yea np, lemme know if it works for you

[celest nest]

Do i select the white fill for the canvas resize?

[ionic spoke]

yes

as that would be the layer that has been sized correctly

[obsidian urchin]

hello when i use the eraser it dosent delete what behind it paint

how can i change that plz ?

[shadow ridge]

You need to unlock the layer... go to Layers Panel and click on 'Lock icon' on Background Layer to unlock.

[radiant lion]

guys

how can i change a layer color?

[ionic spoke]

like the label not the actual contents

?

@radiant lion

[radiant lion]

i have this layer
and i want to change into this color

[ionic spoke]

can you show a better ss

im a bit confused

[radiant lion]

i want to make that red color into blue

[radiant lion]

sorry

[ionic spoke]

it's ok, just use your quick select tool and select the 5, and fill it with ur blue

[ionic spoke]

or adjust with a layer adjustment

[radiant lion]

how can i do that

im novice in photoshop

[ionic spoke]

did you try looking it up first

there's countless basic tutorials

[radiant lion]

it s saying that

[ionic spoke]

u may be on the wrong layer

[radiant lion]

i am on "backround" layer

it s too small i think

[ionic spoke]

well i can't see what your layers are so i have no way to know

no you will be able to select it

[river otter]

Hello, can someone help me? I want to make this fireworks to be as the first photo, but the problem is that I cant because they have like a grey thing arround

This are the fireworks

[ionic spoke]

I would advise against modifying IDs, or any other forgery/manipulation

[ivory rampart]

change blending

[radiant lion]

🙂

[ivory rampart]

@river otter

[river otter]

How

[blissful saddle]

I have these simple layer style effects that don't work when migrated over to the group folder but work on the layer below itself
the layer below is set to 0% opacity & the group to passthrough

[ionic spoke]

@river otter double click your layer for layer style

change blending mode

[river otter]

Oh no, I closed the app with the file and didnt save it

[ionic spoke]

it may be able to be recovered

[river otter]

It was recovered and i closed it twice

can i put it another time?

[radiant lion]

@ionic spoke when i select layer adjusment and solid color it s turning all blue everything

[ionic spoke]

Again, I am sorry if I did not make myself clear. I can not help you with illegal usage

[radiant lion]

it s not illegal usage

i just wana change some numbers

[river otter]

here you mean?

[ionic spoke]

That would be trying to modify a government issued document/ID, not something I can help you with

[river otter]

Actually, it is

[ionic spoke]

yes

[river otter]

There doesnt work

there is a grey thing

arround the firework

see?

[ionic spoke]

yes one sec

[ivory rampart]

you can try with blending

[river otter]

Okie

Explain me how to make it. I have it in spanish

[ivory rampart]

this option is above layers

next to opacity strength

[ionic spoke]

that may be better @river otter

[river otter]

thanks!

lemme check

nope v

[ionic spoke]

well im not sure what efffect you have on it

this is about the best you will get

[river otter]

I mean

[river otter]

I need it with stroke

[ionic spoke]

this destroys some of the image though

[river otter]

like this photo

[ionic spoke]

which photo

[ionic spoke]

Yea

if you were just trying to add a stroke to the one i sent before that's not going to work

[river otter]

Idk why it doesnt looks as the same

[ivory rampart]

there's some leftover pixels from that gradient

[river otter]

so

how could i fix it

[ivory rampart]

probably it would be easier to recreate whole thing

or creating mask by hand

but this will take a lot of time as well

and still there would be some leftovers

as you have a lot of gradients

[sly hawk]

You could use a threshold adjustment as part of the masking to fix it.

[vapid flume]

It is one of my favourite keyboard shortcuts 🙂
Glad I was able to help!

[quasi geyser]

How can I add a slight shadow behind the text like on the screenshot in photoshop?

[ripe quest]

Double-click on the Layer Thumbnail (in the Layers Panel) to open the Layer Styles window. Click on Drop Shadow and edit it for the desired effect.

[fair drift]

Im tryna figure out some graphic idea for this picture, but im so lost. Any tips?

[ripe quest]

Did you manipulate this to its current state? Did you desaturate it and apply the colors to the cars?

[fair drift]

Now u talkin to advanced

I removed all the colors except for the cars

[ripe quest]

Who made this image?

[fair drift]

Me

[ripe quest]

OK. So apparently you had some reason to do that. What was it?

[fair drift]

I still have another copy with all the colors, but i made this cus i just thought it would look cool. And even cooler for some kind of graphic design.

[ripe quest]

OK. So Red, yellow and blue are considered primary colors. Perhaps you can come up with some idea that centers around things that are "primary" or primary colors. Primary colors, primary sources, primary modes of transport, etc.

Some pun, idiom, play on words that might match the design.

[fair drift]

You did give me an idea do

[ripe quest]

Super. Do it up! When you get a design cooking, post in #📝project-feedback

[dense perch]

But—ohhhhh! I see now. Thank you! 😅

[steep crypt]

im able to use photoshop cos i have it with my college

but im assuming theyll cancel my license soon as ive finisehd the course

where can isee how long my account is up until?

[ripe quest]

If it doesn't show up on your Account page (https://account.adobe.com) then you'll need to ask the plan administrator at your school. If you don't know who that is, I suppose you'd have to contact Adobe Customer Care.

[fair drift]

@ripe quest Turned out okay, but do you know how to change the colors of the red lines?

Its 3 seperate layers

[ripe quest]

Put the Layers in a Group. Hold Shift and click on them in the Layer Panel and choose "New Group from Layers..."

Then use an Adjustment Layer on the Group.

Main menu: Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation...

That will allow you to shift the color. However, it will be affecting everything so, right-click on the Adjustment Layer and choose "Create Clipping Mask"

That's probably how I would do it. :)

[fair drift]

Not gonna lie, i had a hard time understanding that

[ripe quest]

If you're trying to change the color of each. Skip the part about the Group and just use the Adjustment Layer on each one.

[fair drift]

Im not a pro at Ps + i have it in another language

but ima try

[ripe quest]

Perhaps you'd benefit from doing the tutorials that Adobe ships with Photoshop.

[ripe quest]

You want to make the lines red, yellow and blue? Is that the goal?

[scenic junco]

Can anyone tell me why my photoshop has errors in the image and silhouette of the water boy when I zoom in?

[ripe quest]

"Errors?" - Choose a different Blend Mode or use a Layer Mask to remove those pixels from view.

[scenic junco]

i can not

it's still there normal

[ripe quest]

Does it show up when you look at it the image at 100% or when you export the image?

View > 100%

[ripe quest]

Does it show up when you look at it the image at 100% or when you export the image? Main menu: View > 100%

[scenic junco]

100% is ok, but when zooming in and exporting png or jpeg files, the error still occurs

[ripe quest]

Also, this looks like an older version of Photoshop.

But it could be a GPU issue. Main menu: Help > GPU Compatibility...

[scenic junco]

is photoshop 2020

[ripe quest]

Yeah. Old.

Its 2024. We're on like Version 25.9 now.

[scenic junco]

i know

Do you know any server who is good at this part?

[ripe quest]

Good at what part?

I said, check: Main menu: Help > GPU Compatibility...

[scenic junco]

There is no such item

[ripe quest]

Yeah. Its too old and that feature isn't available in that old version.

Update Photoshop.

[scenic junco]

Does the device lag more when updating?

[scenic junco]

Thanks I found a fix

[half ruin]

How do I make it so that the D Has lines coming from the back of it?

Hard to explain.

[crisp wharf]

hey anyone can teach me how to mess with photoshop to get better

[half ruin]

In what way?

[crisp wharf]

trying to make better font pop out how to put pictures on a mock up and make it look nice and pop if that makes sense

[crisp wharf]

^

[ionic spoke]

do you mean extruded?

[half ruin]

Unsure,

[ionic spoke]

well so am i… @half ruin

if you could provide a reference or inspiration that would help a lot

[half ruin]

Looks a little something like this

Like urm.

ugh idk the word for it

Movement lines

Like this

[ionic spoke]

just use a round brush and erase while holding shift

@half ruin

that will make ur lines straight

i mean this would be easily done in illustrator too

[half ruin]

Found the tutorial!

Ty anyways

[ionic spoke]

using both white and black rounded shapes

no

problem

[half ruin]

I'm still confused.

On the video is says to select the back of the letter, and it should turn into a path but that is not working for me

Dispersion

that's it

That is what It's called

[iron sedge]

i wanna remove the background of an image but i wanna keep an object inside the background in it. How do i do that? it keeps removing that object from it when using remove background.

[half ruin]

So you want to remove the background but keep part of the background/

Use the quick selection tool on the area you want to keep and click layer mask

[iron sedge]

yes i just thought of it after i sent that message, ill try it out now but thanks anyways 😄

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @half ruin (current: #423 - 3)

[waxen vessel]

How to you use brushes that got added into your personal library? I'm not seeing an option to install them or download the abr but they don't show up in PS

[iron sedge]

it worked thanks

[half ruin]

No worries!

[half ruin]

Double click the abr file and check your brushes. It should show 😄

[waxen vessel]

Problem is that there is no abr file 😔
The page for the brushes did mention it, but when I clicked the button to add it they just showed up in my personal library with no option to do anything with them

Idk if I'm supposed to wait for them to appear in PS or something

[half ruin]

Hm..

Have you downloaded it?

[waxen vessel]

I tried to but like I said, there's no download option. Only copying or deleting them from my CC library

Here's the link to the brushes if it helps
https://creativecloud.adobe.com/cc/discover/article/free-grunge-and-dust-brushes-for-photoshop?locale=en

[half ruin]

I am not familliar with this system. Standby and see if anybody else is available. Apologies!

[ripe quest]

If you added brushes to your Library, open up that Panel. Window > Libraries...

Here are some brushes that I added to my Library...

I can use them here on the Desktop or on my iPad.

[ripe quest]

I just added that Grunge Brush Pack. If they don't sync automagically, you can force a sync by pressing the cloud icon on the bottom of the panel...

[waxen vessel]

Thank you! That worked. Sorry for not responding immediately.

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #3 - 2076)

[ripe quest]

It is a bit weird that they don't get added to the Brushes Panel immediately but they are still editable via Brush Settings. You can make changes and save the Brush and tool settings as a new preset.

The Library just gives you the freedom/ease of moving them around if you have other devices or whatever.

[waxen vessel]

Are brushes added this way only accessible through the library menu or can they be added to normal brush groups?

[ripe quest]

They come in with their own settings. If you want them in the Brushes panel, you'd have to Save your own new preset.

See "Test" above? I saved a new preset using one of the Grunge Grush Brushes...

Grunge Grush Brushes... that's a tongue twister. The artist did that on purpose! :D

[burnt saddle]

My pencil is always painting neighbouring pixels, how can i turn that off?

My feathering is at 0.1

[ripe quest]

You're using a selection. Just zoom in and paint on a pixel.

[ripe quest]

Don't do that.

[half ruin]

Anyone know how to create a font in ps? Is it possible?

[burnt saddle]

I need the selection to be green, I cannot paint pixel by pixel, it's too much and I need every pixel to have exactly one of the shown colours, no mixes

[ripe quest]

Also, uncheck "anti-aliasing."

Feathering and anti-aliasing is going to attempt to soften the edges. See the difference?

[ripe quest]

You probably wouldn't do that. You'd create each glyph as vector shapes. Its a whole process. Search Google about it.

[half ruin]

Ah okay.

[ripe quest]

I mean, I suppose you could design them in Photoshop and use its vector tools but Adobe Illustrator would be much better for that job.

[burnt saddle]

I see it in selection mode but not when I have my brush selected

ah, no I see it with the fill tool

[ripe quest]

Yeah. Because those options are for the Selection Tools. Not the Pencil. The Pencil has its own options.

And the Pencil isn't a brush.

Not like the Brush Tool anyways.

[burnt saddle]

Geez this is insane, I'm spending 4 hours on colouring some properly ._.

So could you give me a tip, I have pixel where the different colours interfere but I need each pixel to be exactly one colour only

[half ruin]

What project is this?

What is it for?

[burnt saddle]

It serves as ID map in Substance Painter

[half ruin]

Ah

Idk what that means but ah

[burnt saddle]

You see those white dots on the armour, I want to get rid of them

[half ruin]

Nope. Can't see any white dots 😭

[ripe quest]

I already did. If you're going to make selections, stop using feathering and anti-aliasing.

Or at least anti-aliasing.

[crisp wharf]

can someone teach me the basics to make a mockup with pictures and cool tect that pops out

[half ruin]

Sure.

So the first thing you want is to get a logo ready and a plain sweatshirt.

Got it?

[crisp wharf]

its for a mylar bag

[half ruin]

Get a photo of a mylar bag and the logo you want on it then.

[burnt saddle]

I have no feathering and no antiliasing, it still paints over the selection. But it is surely my fault, having the need to paint a selection in a certain colour is quite an advanced task.

I'm gonna try with paint but thanks anyway ^-^

[dusk anchor]

can someone tell me how to make the edges of a box like this in photoshop

[marsh hull]

how would i properly change the color on this helmet to be like the jersey

my biggest problem is that the helmets reflectiveness makes it look odd

had this problem for a long time

i get weird looking things like this

[wary meadow]

can someone possibly help me edit a pictures bluriness/sharpness

i need to edit a picture for my family's babyshop but i've forgotten all my photoshop knowledge from school lol

[river otter]

i can try to help

[marsh hull]

do u got any idea how to fix my problem?

[wary meadow]

great, ill share the picture 1 second

[river otter]

share in dms

[river otter]

maybe its just the metal look to it im not sure

id try out more of a matte color to match the jersey

[marsh hull]

yeah idk how to make that matte

i know its possible

[echo sparrow]

how can i make the backround of this windscreen black?

[fluid wasp]

So uh continuing on my previous question I kinda figured out what was done, except there's some slightly weird artefacts on the image which I'm not sure about why

The left image is what the person had modified, and the right one is what I did. It's basically a inversion and a level layer which got me that result. Aside from the artefacts and a very, very, slight difference in the brightness it's exactly the same.

These are the images by the way. The artefacts/jaggedness appears in mine only.

Context, I wanted to edit the original to by like what the other person had modifed to be like.

[lean sierra]

Hello guys, I'm a total beginner to photoshop and I'm trying to achieve a result like this

and the image i'm working with this is

other from the black and white, how should I blend it with the background so that I can get a similar result?

this is for a tshirt design

[dense perch]

There's a new Adjustment Brush tool to make quick work of changing a color. Terry White gives a quick tutorial on five tools here; this one is the last tool he demos.
https://www.youtube.com/live/pPAykSvNw5c?si=U_kz_h8qzUhuHeAQ

[vapid flume]

The first design (the angel) seems to be blending into a hoodie, is that the result you want to achieve?

[river otter]

you cant come directly into photoshop as a beginner and say, Yes, i have to do this and want to know how to do it." First, learn the basics

[severe roost]

hello

can I ask a question about generative images here ?

[lucid crane]

Yes, ask away 🙂

[severe roost]

ok so basically, I wanna add some rain effects, and for now, the only thing its doing is this, when I write "add rain effects" :

[dusky agate]

Does anyone know how to make an image transparent?

the squid's face is torn apart

[vapid flume]

It depends what you have at the start, if you have a background, you need to remove that background (either by phusically deleting it , or by masking it, the latter being always recommended) and then save it in a file format that accepts transparency (ONG, .PSD, .TIFF etc, not JPEG)

[vapid flume]

Do you want to remove the background on that one?

[dusky agate]

wanna remove the background here

[vapid flume]

Try "rain overlay" (not sure it'll work) The issue is that gen fill will try to invent a new image instead of adding to the image. So you need somewhat to indicate it's an overlay on the initial image instead of a new image.
Personnaly I would find some rain overlay (Rain on black background) place it on top, and change the blending mode to "screen"

See this one, not likely what you are looking for, but try to search one similar and see if it's easier than trying to generate one)

[dusky agate]

its transparent on google, not sure why it gets a black background in photoshop

[vapid flume]

What file format is it when you open it? Can you screenshot the whole Photoshop window? (with layer panel and all)

[dusky agate]

open what? the squid image? i copy pasted it into photoshop

Do i need to download it as png?

[vapid flume]

Any file format that accept transparencies. PNG is one. Jpeg is not one

[half ruin]

If you save this file. Click file insert embedded and select this. It should be transparent.

[dusky agate]

That did it

Thank you

[vapid flume]

Great! 🙌

[placid escarp]

hey, i've got a super annoying idk, bug?

[half ruin]

Explain please 😄

[dusky agate]

Do you know how I can save the whole image?

[placid escarp]

my layers simply disappear when exporting, even if i do alt+ctrl+shift+e

im working on cmyk because its meant to be print so maybe thats the issue

[severe roost]

ty, i'll ckeck that !

[vapid flume]

How are you exporting? If you want your layers you should be "save" or "save as"
If you export - say - in PNG or Jpeg, they don't retain the layers. You need a file format that accept layers (.PSD or .Tiff)

[vapid flume]

But maybe I misunderstood, just let me know what you are doing step by step and what is your desired outcome

[vapid flume]

Once everything is in place, go to file>save> and choose .PSD as your file format if you want to keep the layers
Any other file format except for .tiff will delete your layers and flatten everything

[placid escarp]

i'm doing some screenshots so i can explain it better, give me a moment

[vapid flume]

OK

[placid escarp]

first one is finished project, second one is the same but with merged all visible layers

the colors are changing and some layers are gone

and that happens after exporting to tiff, jpg, png and pdf

[vapid flume]

Was the project created in CMYK, or did you convert it afterwards?

[placid escarp]

created

[vapid flume]

At what point do the layers disapear?

And can you identify which layers?

[placid escarp]

text on the character disappears, its a rasterized text with some mixing settings

also every other layer which has custom mixing options is looking bleached and different

it looks like ps is ignoring it when merging everything or exporting

[vapid flume]

That PS ignores blending when merging, that's normal. But not when exporting.
Does it does that when you save as a PSD? If not, let me know which settings you have for say - TIFF, and also PNG

Forget exporting for now, use save as instead

[placid escarp]

it works fine when saving as psd

[half ruin]

PSD 🔛 🔝

[placid escarp]

when i "export as" - color space settings don't change anything and its like that for every file type

ctrl+alt+shift+s also has that issue

and ctrl+p also

[vapid flume]

Exporting always change the image settings. THat's I (and many others) only reserve exporting for a quick save for social media

Don't use export as to deliver files for printing...

You should be good if you "save as" as a PDF for example. or a TIFF

[placid escarp]

too bad that its an university assignment and i have to provide a pdf file for the "college credit"

[vapid flume]

What is your printer asking in terms of specs?

A particular colour profile? what will be the printing technique? (off set?)

[vapid flume]

What happens if you save as PDF then?
if it's going wrong, what are your PDF settings? (They are quite technical generally and you need to double check everything)

Basically you need to check that those settings match what you want your PDF to look like

If it needs to be printed, the printer will give you all the settings they need. Sometimes just "PDF-X1" but you'll have to double check if the rest of the settings are OK too

[placid escarp]

hmm my whole print window looks different

[vapid flume]

Don't print to PDF! Save as a PDF

file > save as

Print as PDF will use your printer settings for the PDF, not Photoshop's

[placid escarp]

ohh

[vapid flume]

Try with a standard setting such as PDF 1.4 for now and if it goes well, ask your printer (the guy who prints your stuff not the machine!) what they want

If you print at home (or at university) from the PDF, you'll need to load your printer colour profile into your PSD file by going to "convert to profile"
Colour profile are set by the company (say Epson) for a ink/paper combo and try to ensure colour matching between screen and paper (It never goes 100% to plan though) Paper limitations

If you don't need to submit a printed poster and/or colour accuracy between print and screen is not a concern, then ignore that last step

[placid escarp]

it still gets rid of that text layer no matter the settings, i think the problem is about the layer mixing because im using "mix if grey" there

i saw somewhere on reddit that it might be a little problematic when using that

[vapid flume]

It could be possible. the blend if, and blending modes can affect it

[placid escarp]

its the layer that disappears

also the layer mixing is set to brightening

[vapid flume]

Try this, just in case
ALT click on the eye of the layer that causes issues (the text layer) Now, only this one is displayed.
Then go CTRL+SHIFT +E , so you'll get a flat layer of just that one. (create a new layer first)
Now you need to hide the original layer and make all the others visible.

It should give you a flat layer with the effect, without having the effect applied, if that makes sense. If that doesn't work, you'll probbaly need to recreate the effect using another method

[placid escarp]

it doesn't work because the color of that layer is affected by the layers underneath it

yeah i will try to just recreate it

thanks for your help

[vapid flume]

Try to merge all those affected instead of just that one? Maybe that will help?

[placid escarp]

i never saw that you can save as pdf, i always used ctrl+p to do that haha

[vapid flume]

If you'd like comments/suggestions, please post in the #📝project-feedback channel

[river otter]

oh sorry

[ripe quest]

What type of help do you need? You want to learn how to do something with Photoshop? Or you want someone to make something for you?

[primal swan]

How can I remove the dark outlined shadows from here? If blend isnt giving a soft "glow" effect , i mean it does, but its not that soft

[modern wind]

Hey I need help I have overlayed a picture on my iPhone and I don’t know how to make the picture brighter again? Could someone pls explain to me how to make it brighter again

[ripe quest]

Probably going to be difficult. You might have to rebuild them.

[primal swan]

wrong image sorry, heres the original pic

[primal swan]

I would but, theres a bunch of complicated colour combinations

I thought there would be a shortcut

[ripe quest]

On your phone? This server/channel is for questions related to using Photoshop.

[primal swan]

that photoshop would have

[modern wind]

Yes it is on photoshop

[primal swan]

any ideas to get started? like removing shadows or making them less visible?

[ripe quest]

What "Photoshop" are you using on iPhone?

[modern wind]

Adobe photoshop express

[ripe quest]

@bleak cedar - Please don't post the same question in multiple channels. You've already posted in #💬chat-general. You'll have to wait to see if anyone is interested in working on your project.

[bleak cedar]

sorry fam

[ripe quest]

There are no "Layers" in Photoshop Express; it doesn't work the same way as it does on the desktop. I'm not sure what you did to arrive at this result.

[modern wind]

Oh Okies I don’t know then this is what I have on it

[ripe quest]

Also, I don't have or use Ps Express on the iPhone so you'll have to wait to see if someone else is familiar with it.

[modern wind]

Okies thank you

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #3 - 2077)

[ripe quest]

There is no "Edit" feature on the Android version so that's interesting.

[modern wind]

It’s on iPhone but that’s interesting

[ripe quest]

Yes. But I don't have an iPhone. I have an Android and there is no "Edit" option in that version.

[modern wind]

Oh well I’m not sure then I have photoshop on desktop as well is there any chance you could explain my overlay situation as I have the same problem on desktop and I don’t know how to fix it

[ripe quest]

Open it on the desktop and post a screen shot with the Layers Panel open and that layer activated.

[modern wind]

Okies

I’ll have to do it tomorrow I can’t get to my desktop right now

[ripe quest]

Check the Blend Mode for the Layer. It should probably be set to "Normal"

[modern wind]

Ohhh I have been putting it on overlay mode

[ripe quest]

No. If the Advanced Blending > Blend If... feature doesn't work, then you'll have to paint on a Layer Mask to just rebuild the things yourself.

How to make this?

[floral tapir]

Hello, I am a beginner at Photoshopping, I only use it for games, jokes and DND, in this case I have this Token Border which I want to use, I want to remove the black background while keeping the white token, Magic wand is inaccurate, Quick action remove background doesn't do a good job and I can't set it to lighten because I need it to be a PNG and the black borders would still exist, what do I do?

[river otter]

wym by black borders?

[floral tapir]

I need the white token to contain a picture within the thin circle line, placing the token on the other Picture and putting it on lighten works, but then I need it to be a png so I need to delete everything in the Underlying Picture except the encircled part

[river otter]

did you want it like this

[floral tapir]

uh yeah

How?

[river otter]

wym how

how i did it?

[floral tapir]

Yeah

[river otter]

just a background remover

[floral tapir]

As in a website?

[river otter]

yes

want me to send it?

[floral tapir]

I don't usually rely on websites because they completely goof more complex backgrounds, but this isn't one and I don't know why I didn't just use one

Yeah I'd appreciate the link, thanks

[river otter]

https://www.remove.bg

this the one i use

[floral tapir]

I am assuming you used it then did a couple passes with the magic brush right?

Because it didn't give me a clean result like the one you sent me on the first attempt

[river otter]

no

i just uploaded it and then downloaded the result

for me came out clean first try

[floral tapir]

Whaaaaaat

That is not nearly the same result

[river otter]

you downloaded it wrong i think

thats not a png

[ebon spoke]

How do I go about making some sort of frosted glass effect as the background of this little nameplate thing?

[river otter]

it looks like you screenshotted it

click download after you remove the background

[floral tapir]

Didn't screen shot it, I have the downloaded image then I uploaded it

[river otter]

then you have to re download it fromt he site after you remove the background

[floral tapir]

The one I sent here was screenshotted though, the one I put into the remover wasn't

[ebon spoke]

I wanna just apply a gaussian blur to the gray box behind the nameplates and also make it see-through, how do I do that?

[floral tapir]

Sorry, I am not sure where I am going wrong

I am confused

[river otter]

can you join vc and share your screen?

[floral tapir]

Sure

[river otter]

join community

[floral tapir]

What did I do wrong?

[river otter]

do you see the download button

next to the preview

on the right side

[floral tapir]

Yep

[river otter]

click that

[floral tapir]

And it's going to fix it?

[river otter]

should come out as a png

i think i know what u were doing wrong before

[floral tapir]

Huh

[river otter]

yeah thats png now

[floral tapir]

I'll be damned, it does fix it

[river otter]

dont right click and save as just press the download button to get your png

[floral tapir]

Oh well, thanks for the help, much appreciated

[river otter]

ofc anytime 🙏

[ebon spoke]

Anyone? Please?

[river otter]

@ebon spoke

something like this?

[ebon spoke]

Uhhhh

Like this

[river otter]

i dont think theres anything behind the frame tho so there wont be anything behind when i lower the opacity

[river otter]

ill use that one

@ebon spoke

like this?

[ebon spoke]

Ohh wait so

What you did was just like

apply a gaussian blur to that selection?

[river otter]

yes

i selected inside the border and outside the avatars and nameplates then just added a gaussian blur at about 25 pixels

heres the image if u wanna download it

[ebon spoke]

I can't really get this to work

I've converted it to a smart object, magic wanded it

[shadow ridge]

Another way to do this is to place a blurred copy of your background above a shape layer and right click on the blurred layer and choose create clipping mask.

[ebon spoke]

Ohhh, that's actually smart, thank you

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @shadow ridge (current: #574 - 2)

[ebon spoke]

Worked great, thank you

While I'm here, is there a way for me to properly do padding? I can tell the bottom has less space than the right

[shadow ridge]

You can use the DIY WAY that is create an Shape like a Square, an use some copies to place as reference on the sides.
I like to work with GRIDS, I turn on the Grids at "View > Show > Grids"
And at EDIT > PREFERENCES > GUIDES, GRIDS AND SLICES, I adjust a grid space value that helps me to align and distribute my object.

[ebon spoke]

I see, I've also just been using shapes to try line stuff up and wasn't super sure if it was a good way to go about it or not, thank you

[tawdry kraken]

when im about to export and change the file name the image breaks and its basically nothing no file at all just a name, but when i dont the image exports succesfully

like this

[marsh hull]

i need help with changing colors on a reflective helmet to make it look right

[fierce hornet]

go to Properties and check the file type. You might change the file type too?

[fierce hornet]

hue/saturation... might work! try it. (don't forget to use a layer mask to change the color of a specific area)

[marsh hull]

r u able to help me in dms

hue saturation creates a odd look

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/548246314383835146/1252453588173586455/image.png?ex=6672ee8c&is=66719d0c&hm=23afa1a74a2e964140cae948cde802a597bf108b797b3f4a76d5a08a46c2d5c8&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=534&height=468

comes out like this

when i need it to look like the swoosh on the helmet

i need the helmet to come out to more of a matte style like this

[fierce hornet]

those two have different texture.

that's why it looks different

[marsh hull]

yeah ik

hold on

this is the same helmet

how does one take that super reflective silver helmet and change it to a flat color and make it look correct

almost like a matte

[fierce hornet]

They might used Blending options

[marsh hull]

whats that

[fierce hornet]

right click to the layer head.

[marsh hull]

how would i use that for what im doing

[abstract carbon]

How to make this

[fierce hornet]

a youtube video might help! just search how to use blending options on YT

[marsh hull]

i cant find anything that helps with this specific thing tho

[abstract carbon]

I have tried, and cant find any

[marsh hull]

like a helmet

[ivory rampart]

it's about technique not object as when you will learn how to use tools ot won't make any difference what the object is

you're working on pixels no matter what object is

[marsh hull]

yeah i got no idea where to start

all of the videos are confusing or dont solve the problem

bc its most likely a combination of techniques and idk where to look

[fierce hornet]

I am making a short video for you.

[marsh hull]

🙏

[fierce hornet]

you also have have to remove all the shining manually to get a mate view. Use blending option get the most realistic result.

[marsh hull]

yeah ts mad confusing i just dont understand this yet

[iron sedge]

are the servers down right now? my creative cloud wont load up and generative fill is greyed out.

[ripe quest]

Not for me. Creative Cloud is working.

[iron sedge]

weird. my internet works..

[ripe quest]

GenFill is also working.

[iron sedge]

ohh it works now, that took 7 minutes of loading.

i think the servers were just very loaded or something

[ripe quest]

May have been a snag somewhere. ISP outage or backbone issues.

[iron sedge]

oh thats true as well. didnt even think about that. now with fiber internet i dont think about internet problems anymore XD

[ripe quest]

ISPs and data centers still can have connectivity issues from time to time. :)

[iron sedge]

yeah im aware. usually a rare case though.

i like how i can continue using generative fill even though im at 0 credits but ive used fill like over 100 times already after being at 0 credits.

[ripe quest]

Running out of credits doesn't mean you can't use it. It should still produce an image; it just may take a bit longer.

[iron sedge]

then whats the point of buying credits?

also that is really awesome, i thought you had to pay to continue using it.

[ripe quest]

You don't purchase credits, they are part of your subscription.

[iron sedge]

theres a section though where you can purchase credits for 6.99 a month

[ripe quest]

Then those plans don't provide GenAI credits as part of the plan.

I don't really know about every plan they offer.

[iron sedge]

oh ok kinda makes sense.

im glad to hear i can use it unlimited times 😆

[ripe quest]

All Apps and other plans come with a certain amount of credits that are like "preferred access" - I don't know what Adobe calls it.

[iron sedge]

although i think when i use it too much times, it throws me errors always after a while.

[ripe quest]

When you run out of credits in your plan, you can still use the feature, it just might be slower. This may change in the future so I wouldn't count on this always being the case.

[iron sedge]

ohh ok i see, thank you

[arctic hedge]

Hello, is there an efficient way to recreate the dual text color like in the image on left , I tried by duplicating the layer and then masking the part out , is there a specific blending mode for this ?

[ripe quest]

That's how I would do it. Duplicate, recolor and then add a Layer Mask and hide the portions that I didn't want to see.

[last gazelle]

Hello, whats the best technique for frequency
when dealing with color?

[ocean pecan]

Good morning, how can I remove what is outside the text, to leave just the word in the other layers texture?

[warped rivet]

Hi
How can I recreate this style of glow like on this picture?

[fallen wyvern]

is there a way auto select all the white spots with magic wand instead picking every single one

[ripe quest]

No Magic Wand. Select > Color Range... Pick/click on a white area. Adjust fuzziness. With the selection active, add a Layer Mask to remove.

[warped rivet]

add white fill solid under this layer

[ripe quest]

Layer Style > Outer Glow...

[warped rivet]

thanks

[sacred wren]

its a clipping mask

but wont work

idk why

[ripe quest]

If you're transforming the object, scaling, rotating, ...finish the transform operation first. Then add the Clipping Mask.

[sacred wren]

huh

the objext is where it should be n i havent touched it

[ripe quest]

Show the Ps GUI with the Layers Panel open.

[ocean pecan]

I apologise for my rudeness, but I require this for school tomorrow. Please and thank you

[ripe quest]

That's probably going to be a difficult selection and masking operation. You can start with the "Remove Background" operation. Then you'll probably have to paint on the Layer Mask to refine it.

[ocean pecan]

Okay, thank you!

[ripe quest]

Show me the actual image. Not a screen shot. I'll try it.

I can already tell that this is going to be a lot of painting.

Some of those areas its difficult to tell what should be removed...

[ocean pecan]

I have a slower way of doing it, but I hoped there was a quick command.

[ripe quest]

That means you'll have to manually paint on the mask.

[ripe quest]

Not with this. There is barely any contrast in some of these areas. And the lines are so thin, if you try to auto-remove, parts of the interior fill on the letters is going to be removed.

[ocean pecan]

Alright, I'll work on it.

Thank you for your help

[ripe quest]

Good luck with it.

[ocean pecan]

Actually, I have another question (not as urgently)

If i select a certain area, say with the object selection tool, how would i move that selection to another layer

I can't think of a proper way to explain it

[cobalt pebble]

Hi, I am currently working on an Aida64 SensorPanel design and have a question.
I have several layers (15) that I want to color, I know how to do that. 😄
But I want the layers to be superimposed later in the Aida sensorpanel depending on the state (it will be the load display for CPU and GPU), and if all layers are superimposed, a certain color results. so it is possible to divide a color (code) by 15, and if I put this color (codes) 15 times on top of each other, the original color code comes out again? 😅

[ripe quest]

Edit > Cut. Edit > Paste Special > Paste in Place, I guess...

[ripe quest]

Can you use the Opacity setting on each layer?

[ripe quest]

I don't know. Sorry.

[cobalt pebble]

in principle, i would just have to divide the saturation by 15...oh, i'm stupid. sorry

[warped rivet]

What is the way to make low quality image effect?

[ripe quest]

Most of these settings are integers; not floating point numbers. So if some feature has a 0 to 100 range, it won't divide by 15 evenly. 100/15=6.66666666

[ripe quest]

Export it out to JPEG with a quality setting of 1. Or feel free to describe what you mean by "low quality image effect"

[warped rivet]

I mean this effect
Idk how to translate this
But this effect often occurs when you make photo with bad phone low quality camera

but i don't know how to get this kind of overexposure

[cobalt pebble]

blur effect

[warped rivet]

ok what next?

[cobalt pebble]

next what? use blur fx and try different settings. i don't now what you final aim is / your project look like.

maybe whit a very slight fish eye fx

[warped rivet]

ok i try blending mode and this works after blur

to screen

[cobalt pebble]

you can also check out the filter galery, which can also helps.

[cobalt pebble]

it was 98 and i use 14. the last layer would be gray. but it seems like my plan dosen't work.

[last coral]

when i use the liquify tool it doesn't show the changes until i confirm it, can i make it where it will show the change when the liquify window is still up instead of having to confirm it every time i do a change?

[strange palm]

hey all!

I was wondering where you like to download your fonts from?

I was looking at envato as well as Adobe stock, but their prices are a bit high for someone who's just starting out.

Was wondering what else there is out there?

Thanks for your help!

[river otter]

Hello,

I edit the photo and in photoshop I can see it in bright colors, everything is fine, but when I export the photo itself and try to send it to my friends, it becomes pale and not so bright colors, but I can see it in the photos on my computer as it should be. It doesn't show well if I look at the same photo on my phone.

How to fix?

[frigid horizon]

Which oone is better? Do i need to change or add something or its good?

i can make stars brighter to

and what do u think about some lightnign in the midle or something. it is for the middle shelf that folds in half

[fast girder]

How do I make this Gif background transparent?

[vocal shale]

i think open the GIF with photoshop

and active the timeline

then select the background on the first frame

then select all the frames " and ensure that the background is selected " then mask it

then save the GIF with transparency

[ionic spoke]

this may be due to your monitor color display settings, from what you are saying this could be an HDR thing, what monitor do you use?

[ionic spoke]

honestly google fonts is my go to, all free. I also use RightFont on my mac to manage them all and source a download when needed. Even just looking up a few things on google can point you in a lot of great free places

[river otter]

how do i stop the auto hyphenation from happening

I have to use adjustment layers for the above project. Does anyone have ideas on how I could use them to improve it?

Hello, I’d guess that the GPU acceleration got disabled, see: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cc-gpu-card-faq.html

Hi, without seeing your layers panel, it is difficult to help you: are both horses and the background on their own layers?

[torn condor]

Hi, I have the problem copying perspective warped object (shadow/mirror).

Original

When I try to copy it to new project, this happens.

I can export it to like pdf and use, but i wonder whats wrong

[hushed niche]

Hi, is the warped object a smart object ? I’d try to duplicate, hide one copy, rasterize the other before you move it to a new project that has, I guess, a different size?

[torn condor]

It is smart object, and, yes, different size projects.
I am copying facebook advertisement design stuff to rollup banner.

[hushed niche]

Hi, I don’t remember if there is an option in preferences >type or in the local hamburger menu of the character panel. You could remove the first hyphen of the list as you type other letters.

[modern wind]

yes all on there on layers

[hushed niche]

Hi, perspective wise it needs to be lower in the image. You might need to select the barriers and jump (Ctrl+J) them on their own layer, so that the brown horse can be placed behind them.

[river otter]

i am having a trouble right now

this is the color i want to print

but when it is converted to cmyk it turns out like this

how can i do that ?

whats the problem here

[twin bronze]

they are different color spectrums

they might not have all the same colors

[river otter]

yeah i know but i want the same color

what do i do ?

[twin bronze]

well you want a guitar to sound like a drum

[hushed niche]

Hi, are you printing on a press or a desktop printer? If the latter, you do not need your convert to CYMK

[river otter]

fedex has the same color and they get nice printing whats your point ?

[river otter]

i am doing for a printer

[hushed niche]

They might be printing with spot colors.

[river otter]

yeah i just asked him since he said it like it was impossible

[hushed niche]

Desktop or commercial press, and even some commercial printers use digital presses that might accept RGB.

[twin bronze]

and they dynamically change it to cmyk as far as i know

[hushed niche]

He is right that some RGB colors can’t be printed in CYMK.

[river otter]

i see, I will contact with the local printers i know, thanks for responding

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @hushed niche (current: #20 - 102)

[hushed niche]

Yes, but they know which CMYK profile to use…

[twin bronze]

sure but i don t think that will solve the problem

[hushed niche]

If that’s the case, you need to ask which profile to use, the cost of spot colors… it’s for a run of how many prints?

[hushed niche]

The first one is that there are many CMYK profiles, and that a digital press might even use more colors…

[twin bronze]

as far as i know, there can t be a cmyk profile that contain this specific color

[river otter]

thanks mate

[halcyon widget]

Hello, I'm trying to remove the pink part of my image to replace it with the same shades of yellow that make a hair contour I tried the localized concealer but it gives me a bit weird results

[hushed niche]

Bonjour, et avec un pinceau en mode « couleur » ? (What about a paint brush in the « color » blend mode?

[halcyon widget]

tu veux dire d'utilisez la pipette puis le pinceau ?

[hushed niche]

Le jaune est déjà sélectionné. Ou alors, avec le pinceau, un alt+clic sur la couleur jaune (raccourci pour la pipette) et dans la barre d’options d’outils, changer le « normal » en « couleur »

Sinon on peut utiliser le pinceau de remplacement de couleurs, ou d’autres techniques : https://helpx.adobe.com/be_fr/photoshop/using/replace-colors.html

[river otter]

anyone know how can i make character like this ?

[vapid flume]

That depends what you got at the start. A standard photo in colour?
It looks like a threshold adjustment layer right there

[river otter]

what level i need to put?

[vapid flume]

also here, it's better, non destructive

[vapid flume]

It depends on the original photo, you need to play with it. Depending if it's dark or light, the settings will be different

[river otter]

that is the defoult photo and i want to make like first

[vapid flume]

You absolutelyy need to test by yourself, only you know what is the effect you want. Use the second method as shown on this screenshot #❓ask-a-question message
So that way you can change your mind

Those sliders don't bite! feel free to test. Only you know what you want....

[river otter]

ok,thanks!

[rare ravine]

how do i make this disappear? it's not letting me edit the text while my cursor is in that area

Lotta artefacting cuz good image lol

[ionic spoke]

use your color range selection, choose a transparent section, adjust your fuzziness to include all with varying degrees of transparency. Then go to select > modify and expand by a value of 1-2 then just delete

[deep geyser]

Guys quick question

I have this circle and I want to put small dots in it all around the circuit ... whats the best way so theyre symmetrical and the fastest way? Cos manually it would take a lot of time...

[ionic spoke]

Picture please, hard to know what you're talking about

[thick tangle]

Like all the way around

But I need them symmetrical

[vapid flume]

see if it helps

https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/drawing-shapes.html

[thick tangle]

Ah yes perfect thanks

[vapid flume]

The bigger the stroke, the bigger the dots
By clicking on "options" you can get the gaps the size you want

[rose eagle]

How can I view the panel

[vapid flume]

Click F to restore the right screen mode or choose view> standard screen mode

[ionic spoke]

hit tab

[rose eagle]

omg

thanks a lot

[vapid flume]

If you've been working like that, it might have been difficult! 🙂

any photoshop gods know how to change the size of a label in a mockup?

change the shape or the size of the label?

Ohhh ok thank you

[thick tangle]

guys any graphic designers here?

im trying to make a happy doggy face logo (cockerspaniel) but idk im out of ideas how to make it cute/eye catching simple logo design

if someone has any ideas please let me know

im more into editing stuff ... not making up something out of my head....

[river otter]

Btw that's not what I meant I meant was if you look the card case is clear and you can see that it is on something that is black but in the example picture I posted behind the card is just clear

And he has his own custom background behind it

That's what I'm trying to achieve

[ionic spoke]

Yes, i understand you will first need to have a clear lighting picture to do that, search up the video glass effect in 2 min on google for the cards design

[river otter]

ahh ok sorry

[river otter]

Would this be better ?

[thick relic]

trying to but there are so many layers ill try again soon

[velvet merlin]

hey photoshop users, i need some help identifying a font. can one of y'all help me out? i dont have photoshop rn, but i need to know what this font is

i tried looking for it on WhatTheFont but could'nt find it there

[shadow ridge]

1 - Separate in one layer the labels and everything that is not transparent
2 - Make two copies of the original layer below the non transparent layer
3 - Set one to Screen and the other to multiply
4 - At Screen layer, right click and choose blending options - at blending options , on blend IF, Actual Layer (First gradient) hold ALT and drag de half of black into the middle of the gradient.
5 - At Multiply layer, right click and choose blending options - at blending options , on blend IF, Actual Layer (First gradient) hold ALT and drag de half of WHITE into the middle of the gradient.
Ps: Adjust the blend if in each layer until you like it. A better photo with a plain gray/white color without shadows gradient will be better.

I love you thank you so much for taking your time and doing this

[void dock]

I made a series of shapes with interesting blending modes/stroke fx that I want to make a motion graphic animation out of in Photoshop, however I would like to keep these blending mode settings and stroke/drop shadow effects in tact. is this possible to import someway in which it will look the same within After Effects?

I am looking to import (to After Effects) my PSD with all the layers seperate while also looking the same, but perhaps I'm thinking of this process improperly here.

[river otter]

kinda did it but background is still there

how can I get rid of background

[river otter]

you meant something like this right

[river otter]

think I got it just need to know how to get rid of the background now

[river otter]

Hi everyone! So I'm new to Photoshop. I've finished learning a big part of theory, but I don't know how to start with the practice. Does someone have tips? (:

[ionic spoke]

use perspective warp to make ur card centered and then mask the background to hide it

[ionic spoke]

what are you talking about?

[river otter]

I don't know how to start

[ionic spoke]

ok. What do you mean theory?

[river otter]

The basics. Some tools and completed tutorials in-app

[ionic spoke]

Ok did you try searching up “photoshop practice projects” or anything of the sorts?

@river otter

[river otter]

Hold on a sec

Those ones?

[ionic spoke]

i just meant on google lol

[river otter]

Oh my bad

Not yet then

[ionic spoke]

when in doubt, google it

even GPT it

[river otter]

Thanks man 🤝

[ionic spoke]

yep! gpt is very good at doing many tech related things, even if you wanted into give you practice assignments itself @river otter

you can then use it to tailor to specific concepts your building on/working on developing etc

[river otter]

Alright!

Thank you!
