GT 730. Is that one of those older "mini" GPU cards?

That GPU might not be supported by current versions of Photoshop.

As a last resort, you can try: Edit > Preferences > Technology Previews.... "Older GPU mode (pre 2016)". Tick that box and restart Photoshop.

Not sure if that will work with that GPU but its worth a try.

how would i change the yellow on this image

[unreal jewel]

Make a layer mask of all the yellow portions.
within the mask, make a solid color fill layer, change it to whatever color u want.
At this point, it should look like just a flat color scheme.
To bring back the detail, change the blending mode to hue or saturation.
Finally, change the brightness: create a levels adjustment layer BELOW the solid color fill layer, and change the brightness to whatever u want.

[unreal jewel]

hope that helped

[slate wharf]

how do i only select the yellow

[hot shadow]

how can i make this outline layer like to where its not so big

but still looks normal on the text

Can anyone recommend me beautiful fonts for free?

[vapid flume]

For starters, you can check Adobe fonts, they are all included in your subscription so all free
https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts
then you have Google fonts
https://fonts.google.com/
Plus the usual:
font squirrel, DaFont, etc
Also you can look on Behance.net and search for free fonts, lots of people are offering free fonts to download there (including me 🙂 )

• you can find fonts to test for free/non commercial use on about every foundry you can think of:
  A few favourites
  Latinotype.com
  PangramPangram.com

[vapid flume]

You could try drawing the real outline with the pen tool, convert it as a selection, invert that selection and delete the excess (or use the polygonal lasso tool to select, if you feel more comfortable)

the contract selection menu (select>modify>contract) after having selected the non transparent content of the layer (Control + click on the layer), and inverted it to remove the excess.
Note that this may be problematic for the angles, they may not appear accurate after contracting
same with:

Filter>other>minimum which should shrink the artwork, but may result in bad concave angles

[vapid flume]

You can try to apply a new Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and select inly yellows in the drop down menu
Any adjustment to the slider of the hues will only affect the yellows
HOWEVER, there is likely to be yellows also in the darker parts (since they are basically darker yellows), in order to avoid that, take the magic wand

Magic wand below

and click on the darker parts in the image to select them
Once done, create a mask with that selection by filling the selection with black on the Adjustment layer mask

For all info about how to create masks etc, which are the basic functions of Photoshop, please refer to the help files (click F1) and the hands-ons tutorials there.

[devout bough]

how can i do this effect? Maybe with blur? But how? Thanks

[vapid flume]

You have a motion blur filter in "filter>blur>motion blur)
You will need to either draw or copy the bits you want to make the effects (since it is not on the whole car) and apply the filter only in the added parts

You can also try your hand with path blur which can be a bit trickier to use if you're a beginner, but gives more adjustable results (Check the help files for that one)

[devout bough]

ok thanks

[vapid flume]

https://creativecloud.adobe.com/cc/learn/photoshop/web/add-motion-blur-effects?locale=en-GB
see this one, you can click on the top of the webpage (the white box) for the tutorial to open directly in Photoshop, where you can follow along.

[vital pasture]

i have this pattern, how can i make the gradient overlay show only on the squares, the squares themselves are on a pattern overlay on a layer. ive tried different blending options but i cant seem to get this to work. im completely new to photoshop so any help is appreciated

[lucid crane]

As @vapid flume says, path blur is trickier. Here’s Unmesh with the full story 🙂

[wind vigil]

i have a veikk a50 tablet connected but why does it show that warning in the shape dynamics in the brush settings? did i forgot/did something wrong?

[ripe quest]

No. You didn't do anything wrong. That is displayed when you change that setting. Letting you know that it requires a device that has pressure sensitivity.

[wind vigil]

i have a pressure sensi tablet tho

[ripe quest]

Good. Nothing is wrong. That icon is always there when you change that setting.

[wind vigil]

ahh thanks for that

[sly beacon]

when i drag the gradient into a selected area, it wont show me the slider where I can edit the colours and intensity of the gradient, anyone know a fix?

[round bridge]

hello i'm having trouble with my photoshop. im using galaxy book 2 pro 360 so im drawing directly on the screen. but when i stroke the brush, it goes a bit transparent. like i only did 50% of the opacity. but if i plug in my drawing tablet, the stroke goes back to normal. using the drawing tablet, i can get the darkest shade with maximum pressure. but the thing is, drawing on the screen using other neighboring app, the stroke is normal. is it photoshop configuration or just my device?
here, i'll post a video of it

https://imgur.com/a/Dm1VFjM

anyone can help me on this?

[ripe quest]

You have "Always use Pressure for Opacity" turned on...

[round bridge]

yeah, i intend to use that. i need that on my work. i want to go for the lightest to darkest opacity when i apply pressure from the lightest to the hardest i press my pen. but it's just not possible to achieve full opacity when im using the pen on the screen.

[ripe quest]

Then perhaps you'll need to experiment with the Pressure Sensitivity on your device.

I don't know what controls there are on a Galaxy Pro book. On my Wacom, you can adjust the velocity curve and tweak it to how you draw.

[sharp crypt]

Hi everyone, can someone please help me to find a way to assign a shortcut for brush rotation in photoshop I can't find it anywhere
the default is shift+arrow keys
but I'd like tho change that
aparently there is a way but I can't find it

[ripe quest]

Its just the Right and Left arrow keys. (While the Brush Tool is active)

[sharp crypt]

yeah but id like to change that

[near flower]

hello, I'd like to apply an effect to this image, similar to what Felipe Magaña did on this poster below, i've followed some tutorial on half tone but it's "too flat" how can I give some "depth" ?

[ripe quest]

I don't know of a way to edit that.

[ripe quest]

You'll have to find a different image. You can't magically create depth in an image that wasn't already there. Unless you're prepared to paint it yourself. (Or use some sort of generative ai to create something)

[near flower]

thanks for the reply, i'd like to not use AI, guess i should learn how to paint

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #3 - 2204)

[ripe quest]

In the example, it seems like it was a 3D model with proper lighting. Your image seems more like 2D anime still and its in profile so there isn't much there to work with.

[near flower]

thank you, for the explanation, i guess he did the same with this poster ?

[fluid crane]

Does anyone know how to create cells in PS?

[ripe quest]

Cells? Can you be more specific about what you're trying to create?

[river otter]

does anyone know how i can seperate the photo in half so i can seperate the bottom half from the top?

[ripe quest]

Use the any of the Selection Tools. Probably the Rectangular Marquee Tool. Draw a selection box around the area. Then in the Main Menu: Edit > Cut. Then, Edit > Paste Special > Paste in Place...

(If I'm understanding your goal.)

[river otter]

ill try and ill let u know

[river otter]

yes it worked now how do i save both of the images

[ripe quest]

In the Layers Panel, you can Ctrl Click on the Layer Thumbnail. That will select just those pixels on that layer. Edit > Copy. File > New... It should open the New Doc window with the correct dimensions. Say OK. Edit > Paste. Then File > Export > Export As...

[river otter]

the edit in the main menu?

[ripe quest]

Or Ctrl C which is the keyboard shortcut for Edit > Copy

Ctrl N which is the keyboard shortcut for File > New...

[gusty dome]

Hello. I have text on a circle. I need to adjust the path to be a bigger circle. Is there a way to do that?

[wanton burrow]

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue in Photoshop where the "Fill" option is greyed out and I can't use it. Here's what I've tried so far:

• I've created a new project with three photos of the same dimensions.
• I'm working on photo #3, with the others masked.
• I've selected the area using the Lasso tool.
  Despite these steps, the "Fill" option remains greyed out. Could someone please assist me with this issue?

Thank you in advance for your help!

[river otter]

im kinda confused

do i need the app photoshop and not the web photoshop

[gusty dome]

I figured mine out. 😁

[ripe quest]

My instructions were for the Photoshop Desktop app. Not Photoshop Web.

[ripe quest]

In the web app, I suppose you could crop the image and then tap the Download button.

[river otter]

ya i got it to work thanks a lot

[ripe quest]

The image you're working on may not be directly editable because its an Embedded Image/Smart Object. If so, you'd have to rasterize that first or edit the object directly.

[ripe quest]

In the future, it would help if you can share a screen shot of the Photoshop interface with the Layers Panel open. Its difficult to diagnose issues based solely on descriptions.

[buoyant viper]

i was wondering if anyone knew how to fix the issue of grouped layers being incapable of having their timeline duration extended?

Hey im looking to do thumbnails similar to this one. Does anyone know how you would add this blue laser beam light array or whatever you wanna call it in front of the character.

[raven cosmos]

Hi, while working with solid color, I messed on a layer. i saw a little dot on color box, and fill it with the same color. But somehow by double clicking on there, It's not showing color bar anymore like other ones. Is there any way to fix it without undo-redo process?

[novel stirrup]

Hello, i just started using photoshop and im trying extract a label from a product to import it to my model, and i thought the way to do it is by first correcting the product's perspective deformities and then just cutting the label as a rectangle. If this is the way to do it please help me to perform it i will be so grateful, if is not, im open to suggestions. Thanks :).

this is my reference:

and this is the product's photo:

[ripe quest]

Probably many different way to do this. Here's one...

[ripe quest]

It shouldn't really matter that much because you could change the color with a Layer Style > Color Overlay... However, you could just create a new Solid Color Fill Layer and Alt drag the existing Layer Mask from the old layer to the new one. Then delete the old (non-functioning) Color Layer.

[ripe quest]

Yeah. You could try to Warp the label to make it flat but there are other issues, like the lighting and some texturing or something on the sides of the label. I'm not sure how close you need it to be. Have you searched online to see if you can locate the label as a flat design?

How about using the "Generate Image" feature right inside Photoshop? Or does it have to be the Firefly Web app? @coarse crater

[coarse crater]

Background colour is too similar to some of the colours on the flower to remove background is there another method?

[coarse crater]

I didnt think about that 🤣

[ripe quest]

If you have the latest version of Photoshop, we have the Firefly 3 model right inside Ps and the "Gen Image" feature. It has a lot of the same controls as the Firefly web app.

[coarse crater]

Ah good to know thanks boss

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #3 - 2207)

[ripe quest]

Probably do the best you can with the selection. Use it to create a Layer Mask. Then refine the Layer Mask.

[coarse crater]

Whats the selection tool?

like the polygon one and just manually cut it out?

[ripe quest]

Well, I think you're referring to the "Polygonal Lasso Tool" which appears to be selected. But I would add a Layer Mask and paint on the mask to hide the background.

[coarse crater]

Sorry i literally have no idea what a layer mask is

[ripe quest]

Its a feature of Photoshop. One of the most important features to learn. It allows you to paint on a mask layer and hide (or show) pixels on that layer.

[coarse crater]

Is it a tool? Ill go look at youtube videos on how to do it

[ripe quest]

You can paint on the Mask. Black hides pixels. White reveals pixels. Shades of grey in-between are respective levels of transparency...

You don't really have to worry about accidentally deleting things because they're just hidden. Not deleted permanently.

[coarse crater]

Ohhhh you are a lifesaver thanks boss!

[coarse crater]

How do i grab this section, duplicate it and make it line up to the other branch

The generated image didnt make them line up was wondering if there was a way to duplicate a section of branch to manually just fill in the gap

[ripe quest]

You could copy a portion of it. Paste it. Put it behind the current layer and position it. Add a mask. Paint on the mask to hide portions of it.

[coarse crater]

Thats the problem i dont know how to copy a portion 😭 Feels embarssing asking these questions lmao

[ripe quest]

Just draw a selection around parts of that layer using the Lasso Tool. Copy (Ctrl C). Paste (Ctrl V).

[coarse crater]

thanks boss 🫡

[coarse crater]

wow it really was that easy

[torn condor]

What you do when you have a layer with tons of adjustment layers and you need to add blur somewhere on that layer, but not everywhere?

Merging it into smart object and duplicating is not a cool solution in case I edit something later I have to do same process again and again.

[ripe quest]

Select the upper most layer in the stack. Do Shift Ctrl Alt E to make a merged copy. Convert it to a Smart Object. Apply the Blur. Paint on the Smart Filter Mask to selectively apply the Blur. That leaves all of your original layers intact.

Then you can experiment with the Blur.

[coarse crater]

Is there a way to blend the cross through the text with a branch? Or just completely replace it

[ripe quest]

Maybe just try to render a branch with Gen Fill/Gen Image and then put that in and manipulate it.

[coarse crater]

ok boss

[torn condor]

That's what I am doing, but in case I change something later, I have to again ctrl+alt+del+e etc.

[ripe quest]

Then convert all the layers to a Smart Object.

[torn condor]

Still two edits.
Two same smart objects.
We can't add mask on blur only.

Never mind, I will just go with blur as last edit.

[ripe quest]

Blur is a filter. It has to be applied to something. Something being a Layer or a Smart Object. There is no "Blur Layer"

It would be cool if something like that existed. Unfortunately, it doesn't.

[torn condor]

Yeah, thanks.
I wanted to blur edges of person on new background and found myself in this position, or if I want to blur half of image and such tasks.
Not a big deal to copy all, group and smart filter it, but I wondered if there is better solution.
Seems no, so it is fine.

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #3 - 2210)

[torn condor]

AI made this.
What I wonder is, is there a way we could do gradual mist like in this photo.
I know we can paint, choose blend mode, and do gradient, but it goess in flat positions, but how about blurring it more in distant places.

Not a big deal if mockup is made of parts, so I just put more mist on far mountains, and add something else more close, and less mist, but I talk about full image.
Probably can't, but worth asking.

[ripe quest]

Separate it into layers and put layers of mist and blurring at various levels. Alternatively, you could try the new Lens Blur feature in Camera Raw. It attempts to make a depth map and apply the blur. You can also selectively paint and blur and focus in that interface.

Bro I'm really hoping you get the job man. You look extremely professional

[glass forge]

FACTS

[viral cargo]

I did my colleagues resume just a few minutes ago because she had asked me to do hers a while ago, so even though i need to do mine still i just thought i would keep my promise and do hers.

[viral cargo]

This is heartwarming, thank you very much

[glass forge]

Why are you doing her resume?

Bro you gotta focus on your stuff first though

Ik it's your colleague n stuff but never prioritize someone else's work when you have yours to do

[viral cargo]

she had requested me to do hers a while ago and she also wants to apply for the post so i thought its only fair to do hers as well.

[glass forge]

I understand but

Ah man

[viral cargo]

I hear you, i feel like i have a problem with putting everyone else above myself a tad

[glass forge]

Yeah man you gotta stop that

If you have time then yeah you can help people with stuff but if not

Always put yourself first

People can take advantage of you for that. There are some manipulative sickos out there man

Still find it weird that she wants you to do her resume. Don't know why she couldn't do it herself

[astral swan]

does the suit look more blue now

[glass forge]

Unless y'all are like great friends

[glass forge]

Actually damn it does ngl

[astral swan]

ok now its a lil more realistic

[viral cargo]

yeah i barely have time, its about 6:41 right now and i have work in the next 2 hours lol, i think i should ditch this and focus on my own

[viral cargo]

excuse is...she isnt tech-savvy and doesnt know how to do it

[viral cargo]

i mean, we are

[glass forge]

Oh I didn't know

Yeah makes sense then but if the resume is due like tmr or sum (just an example), do yours first and then do hers. Like you can say you wanna finish up yours first and then you'll go on to hers

[viral cargo]

maybe not "great" but pretty good friends yeah, so its like, part of my rationale is, if she wants to apply for the same job and i had endevoured to doing hers beforehand, it would be kinda scummy of me to like, not and then apply you know?

its due today

[glass forge]

Bro.

[viral cargo]

this looks great, im just realising right now that i was almost grabbing my crotch, oops

[glass forge]

Yeah it's way too late rn. Do yours first right now man

And then do hers

[astral swan]

btw what did you mean your eyes where uneven?

looks alr for me

[glass forge]

Yeah he looks pretty chill

Idk what he means by the eyes

Wait I think he meant the left eye

But that'll be kinda difficult to move/edit i think cause of the reflection

[viral cargo]

its like the glasses are pretty skewed and the left eye looks different from the right eye

[glass forge]

Yeah that's sum we gotta figure out

How many hours/minutes you got till your resume due

[viral cargo]

i have some time, i think i have about 10 hours, give or take, so i am about to actually do the writing part and stuff

[glass forge]

Oh ok bet bet. Yeah please do your resume and then do hers man (unless you told her you'll do hers first 💀)

[viral cargo]

i never told her i would do hers first, its more of a courtesy type of thing, but i could definitely use more time to focus on mine, i think i can give her hers as is for now and then tell her to fill in the blanks because the content writing is the tedious part

[glass forge]

Yeah that's the best case bro

how do i use this.

[serene coral]

this is a vector file. what do you want to do with it?

[hot shadow]

well it says i can edit it how do i do that

[serene coral]

I believe this is editable in Illustrator

[hot shadow]

ty

[vapid flume]

To be clear: You have both files you can download: EPS and JPEG. Only the .eps will be editable, the jpeg will not.
.eps is best edited in illustrator, it's its natural habitat. @hot shadow

amazing wow, thank you so much

[frosty imp]

hello, one question, is it possible to keep the preview of my scaled picture? Because as it is right now I have to screenshot the preview and then draw over the screenshot to remove the blue lines and boxes

[bold galleon]

I have a masked layer of a guy in another picture. Is there a way to shrink the layer mask by small increments so I can get rid of his accidental white outline from not making the mask small enough in the first place? I frequently want to do such a task
Ended up using the burn tool and it looks better but still would like to shrink masks.

[mystic crypt]

Dont change his eyes imo but remove the light source / flash reflection from the glasses 📸

Hello everyone ! I work on my Iris shoot made today but I encounter a problem, the picture is not "sharp" and the result is not what I want

[short loom]

I wanna try imprinting shapes into letters (like this star in the pink Japanese character); in this case, I wanna do it with English letters. Is there a way I can achieve it?

For context, i wanna replace the hole in an "A" with a star.

[stark wharf]

You can create outlines of the text if it is like your example and create the shape where you wish and then create a compound path using Pathfinder tool to make the text/logo whole again with transparency

[short loom]

Alright, thanks!

Hello i wish if someone could help me to understand something, i wanna subscribe to adobe creative cloud for a year and i saw this Save 40% First year only. does that mean i will be only get discount one time, or if there will be a nother sale lets say another year will i be able to get that too?

[ripe quest]

The discount is one time. First year only. After that its the normal yearly price.

[wintry yoke]

im using the prespective warp and its not warping the image. it only does it when i hit done

but the tutorials i've seen

it does it automatically

when they move the pins

help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance

i should also mention that im using a mask

to cut the laptop

[mystic crypt]

could you not copy the layer and transform it in smart object to modify it more easily ?

[wintry yoke]

i don't get it

what does that mean?

"smart object"

all im asking is how to change the prespective automatically

[glass remnant]

Hi, sorry if it's not related to this. The question is if is there any creator who is selling cc, brushes, patterns, etc on Kofi, Patreon, or somewhere? DM. If it's against rules, let me know. Thanks

[ripe quest]

I'm not sure what your goal is here. Just warping the image doesn't change the fact that its 2D. After attempting the warp, its going to look strange. This tool doesn't "invent" a new image. You can see how weird the image is going to be look after the operation is completed.

[wintry yoke]

im trying to make it look like its facing a little to the right

i don't mind if it looks strange

[ripe quest]

OK. One moment.

[wintry yoke]

just tell me how to make it apply automatically

thanks in advance

[ripe quest]

It doesn't apply "automatically"; you attach to the Perspective Warp controls and then warp the object, i.e. move the controls points, thus warping the image.

[wintry yoke]

what i meant was that the image changes when the pins are moved, when i do the same thing, it only moves the pins.

wait lemme record

[ripe quest]

Watch the video again.

[wintry yoke]

ok

so i need to apply layer mask huh?

that's whats missing!

[ripe quest]

You need to set the control grids. Then click the Warp button.

[wintry yoke]

i did

[ripe quest]

I would apply the Layer Mask. Yes.

[wintry yoke]

ok now it works

thanks

a lot

im making a pfp

[ripe quest]

Or Convert to a Smart Object. But I'd just apply the mask instead since you probably won't need it as an SO.

[wintry yoke]

(because someone said "ai art is 'unethical'")

[wintry yoke]

may i ask what a smart object is?

[ripe quest]

Because of the penguin art you currently have? Whatever. Leave the penguin.

So instead you're going to steal this laptop image from a Google search and use that? Its more ethical to use the penguin. heh

[wintry yoke]

tell that to the gal

[ripe quest]

Tell her to get a grip.

[wintry yoke]

they assume every ai is bad

i get it

its taking out jobs

but don't go around dming random people

[ripe quest]

That's her problem. Everyone has a right to their own opinion.

[wintry yoke]

anyway

side tracked

thanks for helping me

im only doing this for that (rather stupid) person

[ripe quest]

Stealing this laptop image from a Google search and using this is just as bad if not worse than just keeping the AI generated penguin.

But I digress...

[wintry yoke]

she said it steels art

[ripe quest]

These are people with too much time on their hands.

[wintry yoke]

im thinking, there really isn't any art of a programemer penguin

of that degree

[ripe quest]

Generate a Penguin with Photoshop. They don't steal any images. They're trained from open source work and Adobe Stock that they have the rights to use.

[wintry yoke]

oh the version im using is 2020

it doesn't have it

im afraid

[amber apex]

Sorry to interrupt the ethical conversation😬 (I agree with D. Humann though)

But I have a question. Does anyone know how, using photoshop, I can achieve turning a photo of a person (sports player) into such an art style as this photo.

[wintry yoke]

i agree with dr hummann too

[ripe quest]

Then just keep the penguin you already have.

[wintry yoke]

i've been bullied into learning photoshop, i can't just give up, imma try to make it nonetheless

but thank you

its crazy how some strangers can be so wholesome

[ripe quest]

You would either need to paint this yourself or use an AI algo to attempt to convert it into this style.

[wintry yoke]

i just realised you aren't a doctor

i've been reading your name as "Dr. humann"

[ripe quest]

Its a common mistake.

If I was a doctor, I would have PhD. after my name.

[wintry yoke]

lmao

[quiet pawn]

Hello, This is my first time using Photoshop. I pasted a png to my work and now I cant resize it. The thin box when you click on the image doesnt appear anymore. Instead I can only move it around but not resize it. Anyone know how to fix that?

[ripe quest]

Edit > Transform > Scale or Ctrl T on the keyboard.

[amber apex]

Considering my lack of skill regarding the former, how would I do the latter? I don't have too much experience with using AI to create designs.

[wintry yoke]

i know this is off topic but do you want to have a talk with the one who told me all that stuff?

[ripe quest]

Not really. No.

[wintry yoke]

alr

all g

[quiet pawn]

I cant access that... I tried pressing the shortcut but that doesnt work. And when I go to edit - transform it doesnt allow me to click on it

[amber apex]

Has it perhaps opened a new tab and is it now a background layer? Duplicating the layer should then do the trick.

[ripe quest]

I don't find those conversations to be productive. And I have better things to do with my time than to argue the merits of generative imaging.

[wintry yoke]

fair

[quiet pawn]

I tried, but that doesnt work either. Thank you anyways

Share a screenshot of the document open in Photoshop with the Layers Panel open. Is it a "Background" layer?

[quiet pawn]

Its behind another layer yes

[ripe quest]

There are ways to use an image/photo, etc as a "structural reference" that can drive a new generation.

[wintry yoke]

photoshop is amazing

Yikes.

[wintry yoke]

what is this about?

[amber apex]

Would you happen to have a resource that I can consult to learn about this? I want to convert a photo of one of my friends to this art style for a poster as a birthday present.

[ripe quest]

https://firefly.adobe.com - Text-to-Image Generation. Input the image as a "structure/composition" reference. You can do the same for "style reference" or use one of the existing styles that Adobe provides.

[amber apex]

So should I upload both images, the photo of my friend or the artwork with the style I like?

[ripe quest]

Yes.

Then experiment with the settings in there.

[amber apex]

Ah now I see what you mean

Didn't understand the first time out, mb

Now I'm running into a problem- I don't know how to keep the face of my friend in the photo, similar to his actual face.

[ripe quest]

That can be an issue. This isn't "face replacement" technology.

[amber apex]

Does face replacement technology exist? Or is that out of your realm of help?

[ripe quest]

You would need other software. Its beyond the scope of this server.

[amber apex]

I see. In terms of 'drawing it myself'- is that within the scope of this server? Otherwise, I'll look for help elsewhere.

[ripe quest]

It is but I can't teach you how to draw/paint. You'd have to do some tutorials and practice. There are many on YouTube if you going to pursue that.

[amber apex]

I see

Hi, try https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/smart-objects.html

Hi, if the final result does not meet the preview, did you try to scale at an even number, using nearest neighbor? https://www.reddit.com/r/photoshop/s/skvVO91iHI

[grave hull]

Hey! I joined this discord because Im losing my mind right now.
I kept getting this annoying 205 error :

I tried tons of things, clearing the photoshop files in appdata > roaming

I tried to sign out and in again

signing out, restarting my computer, and signing in again

I tried to sign out, launch photoshop, and sign in through photoshop

but none of these solutions worked, and I just can't use photoshop

[vapid flume]

Have you tried contacting support as it's suggested in the error message?

Also did you subscribe by downloading directly from Adobe or do you have to go through a 3rd party vendor (it depends on the coutry of residence)

[grave hull]

I downloaded creative cloud and downloaded it through there

[vapid flume]

OK, great

[grave hull]

When clicking on it, it just sends me to their support website where it tells me to try things (that I tried already)

[vapid flume]

Try this: there is a webchat on the right
https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen

if you do X/twitter, you can also tag @civic fjordcare

[grave hull]

Hmm, this is what it says

the thing is, my school handles it, and since we're in August.. I can't contact anyone

[vapid flume]

What kind of subscription do you have? (personal student, or school/team)

They probably disabled the stuff for the holidays (cheeky rascals!)

[grave hull]

You think? How do I know if it's personal student or school/team? :o

[vapid flume]

Last chance would be for you to download the 7 days trial (You will need to create a new account, with a different email address) if you need to finish a project in an emergency.

But if you're on a school/team account, there is litterally nothing you or I can do.

[grave hull]

oh xd

[vapid flume]

How much do you pay for the sub?

[grave hull]

I don't pay, they do ^^'

[vapid flume]

so it's a school account, and they have the rights over your account.

[grave hull]

Ah okay

Well, thanks for your help anyways ^^'

[vapid flume]

if you have a student account (something like €20 per month for the full CC) you have a personnal account and have all the rights

[grave hull]

Yup I guess I can't do anything then xd

I'll try the 7 day trial thing! Thank you, have a good day!

[hushed niche]

Hello, did you check https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/tablet-support-faq-photoshop.html

[vapid flume]

You too!

[grave hull]

Something just hit me, with a school/team account, isn't there something like you can only use photoshop on one computer? Because I have a laptop for my school and a fix one for my house

Im trying to use it on my fix computer

[hushed niche]

Sometimes, one can move windows outside of view with the win key, and the arrows.

[vapid flume]

Not sure is school and personal are different in that way, but on a personal account, you can use the App on 2 computers, provided that you don't use Photoshop at the same time

[grave hull]

hmm alright, thanks again

[hushed niche]

Hi, check the add/exclude options in the option bar.

[vapid flume]

Someone here has the same issue as yours

See if it helps

[hushed niche]

Hi, I’d recommend to create a copy of your settings/preferences: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#backup-photoshop-preferences
Make sure that you quit photoshop properly, it is supposed to save them, and it seems it does not have the time to do it properly.

[vapid flume]

In short, you should have access to Photoshop on a second computer provided that noone else uses it on the school computer UNLESS the admins have deactivated that function. In that case you're toasted (although I am sure you can contact someone at your school even during the holidays) I used to work in schools and there is always someone on duty, even during the holidays. No IT system is left unsupervised for 1 or 2 months!

At least, I hope not 🙂

[grave hull]

I'll check, thank you ^^

Hi, this tells you that your GPU does not support that version of DirectX. Newer drivers can’t change that.

Is anybody free to talk about color correction? And getting digital files ready for print? I have a lot of specific questions and it’s hard to find answers online. Especially because I’m new to all of this

[glossy bone]

I can’t get CMYK true black to work in my program. No matter what it appears as out of gamut. I’m using 75, 68, 67, 90. And close to it but all it will allow is dark grey (and not even that dark).

[spare scroll]

been using photoshop for 5 years

yet my dumbass doesn't know how to do gradient overlays like this, if anyone can help.

[stiff trail]

101 ways, one being a screen layer with a white/black linear gradient with a whole bunch of white & black stops.

(Over a grey base)

Another being motion blurred rendered clouds (Screen again)

[spare scroll]

Let me try.

[spare scroll]

This looks totally not anything lol.

but let me try black and white

position and stuff

[stiff trail]

Put the gradient on a separate layer

it'll be easier to manipulate

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=photoshop+chrome+effect

Or watch any of those

I mean it's a bit of a cat skinner that one, there's so many possible approaches it's hard to say which one's gonna fit your endcase best.

[spare scroll]

It is on a seprate layer.

[spare scroll]

this is blinding

[stiff trail]

OK so now dial it down

reduce the fill of the gradient layer

[spare scroll]

Opacity?

[stiff trail]

And if you want more definition just tweak the gradient either directly or with a curves adjustment

[spare scroll]

2nd image is how it's suppose to look lol

[stiff trail]

Then do a dark gradient in multiply or colourburn

rather than white one in screen

You've shown several images now without a defined start or end, so it's a bit trucky to predict all eventualities.

Jus tinvert your gradient (Ctrl i) and then set layermode to multiply or burn

Multwill give you dark toward black, burn will send it toward brown

(use a combination of fill and opacity to control it if you use burn)

[spare scroll]

uhhh i still can't figure it out lol

i can honestly send you the file if you wanna try it out, because the methods you have been telling me have not been working properly

[ripe quest]

You could probably set it up like this...

(If the goal is just to fake a shine across the image.)

[spare scroll]

That is the goal, but i want ot to not look way too light

As you can see in this image it's not too light and dark from specefic areas

[spare scroll]

Can you tell me the settings, so i can probably mess around with colors and figure something out

[ripe quest]

Settings? Its just lines on a layer. The Blend Mode for the Layer is set to Overlay. The layer also has a Blur applied (via Smart Filter).

[ripe quest]

Here is my example PSD file if you want to look at it/play around with it...

[spare scroll]

You need to make a tutorial for that lol

[ripe quest]

It would get about 5 views on YouTube. :)

How did you get lines?

[ripe quest]

You can use a Gradient Layer. You can paint them. You can draw rectangles and blur them. Take your pick.

[ripe quest]

Adobe Software requires an Adobe Account. You sign to your Adobe Account (https://adobe.com) and download the Creative Cloud Installer. You use the Creative Cloud App to install Adobe Software, like Photoshop.

Hi Everyone

I'm getting the "unexpected end-of-file file" error, and can't open the psb file.

I already reinstalled the software, it doesn't help. I can't also open the psb file in Illustlator.

Is there any way to recover a psb. file?

It would be even enough, if I convered the psb. file to jpeg.

[ripe quest]

Its possible that the file is damaged or corrupted. Difficult to know why. Perhaps you have a hard disk issue.

[hollow bobcat]

My notebook was suddenly shut down because of power outage, and Photoshop was opened when the power outage happened.

..

When I open the psb. file in Illustlator, all I see is a black screen

[spark snow]

Does it help to open the file while holding the control key? Sometimes that can open the file as a composite

Also, how large is the file? Wondering if somebody on the team would be able to recover it.

[hollow bobcat]

It is 238 mb. It would be great. I'm pretty upset because of the situation.

[spark snow]

Can you upload it to a fileshare and DM me the link to the file? I can ask the team next week when they're back in the office

[hollow bobcat]

When I need to hold the control key?

[spark snow]

while the file is opening...not sure of the exact timing.

Ahh...Sorry, it's the Shift key, not control.

You should get a dialog asking to Read the composite data instead.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tVvxdcuuaf4

Jesus says shift+alt... (shift + opt on mac)...So maybe that's it, lol.

[pastel ermine]

Hello, I am trying to do some software sprites for a game but I'm using a grid and the "snap to grid" function just DOES NOT WORK properly, at all. The selection box will always snap slightly outside or slightly within the grid and this is useless for my purposes. People have said to use rulers instead and position the lines on the grid but, really, that's going to take a LONG time to set up and I just don't understand why snap to grid just doesn't work, can anyone explain why this would be the case?

[pastel ermine]

I'm not sure this is the right way, but for position I'd put a guide at the top side and the left side and turn on "snap to guides" so that anything put in that area snaps to it. To get something the same size, I select the layer I want to duplicate the size of, copy it then CTRL+SHIFT+N to make a new image with the same dimensions, then you can paste whatever you want into that image and make it the same size before moving it back into the original document and snapping to the previously set up guides. There's maybe a simpler way to do it but, for me, that works well.

[sly hawk]

When you say it doesn't work, what do you mean? - it's just not snapping AT ALL?

[pastel ermine]

no it's snapping but it's off, it's always a few pixels out beyond the boundaries and for making sprites this is not acceptable

[pastel ermine]

it snaps, but NOT to the grid, it's like it's snapping to a different grid it's stupid. I will try to make a short video

[pastel ermine]

you can see here it's NOT snapping correctly to the grid lines on the right and lower side. It's random as to how it misbehaves.

the general online consensus seems to be to use guides but I'm working on some big sprites and it seems stupid that "snap to grid" is broken. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong here, so was wondering what others experience of the situation is.

[sly hawk]

Um

I tried it, and I agree the snapping isn't very..... um.... snappy.

[sly hawk]

It;s not something silly like this is it?

[pastel ermine]

no, it should be zero to do with that as the function is SNAP TO GRID and it's not snapping to the grid 😕

[sly hawk]

Grid needs to be set to PIXELS

[pastel ermine]

really?

[sly hawk]

yeah, I assume so. The line has to 'land' between 2 pixels.

[pastel ermine]

nope, still doesn't work

still off

I have already answered in the #💬chat-general channel!

[coral glen]

Can someone please tell me the way to replace the text 'TATE' in the same fiery way

[vapid flume]

You could either select it roughly and try the Gen AI feature

Don't follow my prompt, I am crap at prompting

Or try to find a brush that looks like fire, remove the word and then draw the new word on top
To remove the existing word, I suggest you test the "content aware fill" option after having loosely selected the area as there is smoke and it will be tedious to do it by hand

But there are probably plenty of other websites

[earnest kayak]

does anyone know how to make the text transparent and let the background image appear on the text?

[lucid crane]

Depending on the look you want, you could just bring back the opacity of the text layer letting more of the background to show through.

[earnest kayak]

ok i'll try that

[lucid crane]

You could also play with the blend mode of the text layer

[earnest kayak]

what if i forgot to save the ps file

so i dont have the text layer anymore

can i use the magic wand tool to select the text and do something with it

i cant do anything now ig

[lucid crane]

Ah, two methods, one select the text with a tool of your choice, like magic wand, it should work okay cause it’s nice black text, Make a layer using the selection and fill it with the background.

Method two, use Gen Fill to get rid of the existing text and rebuild the text on a separate layer.

[earnest kayak]

thanks

[earnest kayak]

it worked

[quasi saffron]

I have space but it shows my scratch disks are full

how do i fix it?

[ripe quest]

What is the size of the document you have loaded? Image > Image Size... a common error is that people choose the wrong unit type when creating a document.

For example, 2000 centimeters instead of 2000 pixels. 2000 centimeters is like 65 feet. That could cause problems.

[cerulean yacht]

Hey can someone help me, I downloaded a psd file from my drive and for some reason when i open it says unable to open it disk not available.

[ripe quest]

The file could be corrupted. Can you try downloading it again to a different location/different drive or device?

[reef gate]

i need some guidance on this, i want to change the texture of the bottom half part, but i dont know how to do it without disturbing the cast shadows of the jars.

[cerulean yacht]

I did try it

But that didn't help

[ripe quest]

Could just be that the file is corrupted. Where did you get the file?

[cerulean yacht]

It's from my friend he sent me the file again in another drive, still doesn't work. He can open it.

[ripe quest]

Could be a file compatibility issue. There may be a difference in features between the versions of Photoshop you both have installed.

@vagrant ember - We've addressed your questions yesterday. You will have to download the Creatve Cloud app and use that to install Photoshop. This requires signing in to your Adobe Account and visiting the page to download the Creative Cloud installer: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud.html

Note: if you're using the Opera browser, this will not work. You'll need to use Edge or Chrome. (Firefox may also work.)

[vagrant ember]

Im using the Google Chrome Browser and its the same problem with theCreative Cloud App. If i try to install it and doublecliuck on the Set Up File NOTHING happens

[ripe quest]

What is the file and the file extension that you've downloaded?

[vagrant ember]

this Files

if i doubleclick on them nothing happens

[ripe quest]

Show the file extensions

[vagrant ember]

how can i see them?

[ripe quest]

Right click on the Creative_Cloud_Set_Up file and choose "Properties"

[coarse crater]

how do i bring back the tool bar on the side?

[vagrant ember]

okay wait

[ripe quest]

Did you accidentally hide it? Tap the TAB key

[vagrant ember]

@ripe quest

[coarse crater]

tab makes me go full screen

[coarse crater]

The tool bar for brushes, select etc on the left side of the screen is whats hidden

[ripe quest]

The TAB key should toggle all the toolbars and panels on and off.

[coarse crater]

Im on Mac if that makes a difference

[ripe quest]

If that's not doing it, it might be turned off. Main menu: Window > Tools...

[coarse crater]

ah that worked thanks

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #3 - 2215)

[ripe quest]

You can try: right-clicking on it and choose: "Run as Administrator"

[vagrant ember]

did this alredy

[ripe quest]

Then you'll have to contact Adobe Customer Care as I told you yesterday.

[vagrant ember]

yea they tryed someting on my pc for 2 hours or something but didnt know what to do

i guess I have to try that again tomorrow

[ripe quest]

Well, they have access to your PC and your Adobe Account. We do not. Thus, no one here can help with this.

[vagrant ember]

Yea thanks for the trying to help anyways

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ripe quest (current: #3 - 2216)

[ripe quest]

Are you sure that your PC meets the system requirements to install and run Creative Cloud apps?

[cerulean yacht]

Nope same version of 2024

[ripe quest]

What's in the file? Anything that might be causing the issue? Generative Fill layers? Some layer that requires a special plugin to work?

[vagrant ember]

yea i guess i have a 3060 Graficcard and an intel i7 10700

[stone pewter]

i had this proplem for a while for some reason at random times photoshob wont let me draw with my tablet pen ( everything else works ) idk there seems to be a rpoplem with the brush or something can anyone help me?

the only way to solve it is for me to lift my pen off the tablet then putting it back on

the proplem seem to be with drawing adn erasing but i can still move the pic and rotate images

[rigid plover]

the 3d text like that

[knotty tulip]

whats the best format to save gifs in ? my gif came out with white specks around the outline

[vagrant perch]

I want the face to match the statue and the eyes to belnd with the face. How can I do that

[tepid pike]

Hey Guys, i got Photoshop today and wanted to edit my Face like Mr.Beast does in his thumbnails but im so confused could anybode help me

[limber stream]

does anyone know how to make a rainbow gradually fade away on both sides like in this pic

[restive basin]

why it do this to my psd 😭

[river otter]

Hello, can someon help? How come when I use the tool it is not pulling the image out with it its only pulling out the outside of the card and not the whole thing?

Nvm figured it out im such a clutz sometimes lol

[bold galleon]

In case you don't get a better answer, what I do is: Usually do something to smooth the layer under the face such as clone/heal tool assuming you have them in layers. Then I scan the blend modes on the human face to see what works best and then mess with the opacity. The eyes if they're a layer more or less the same thing

[sacred kiln]

can someone gives me tips on how can i make the head on the plate to not look "out of place" i can't quite figuro out what to do since it's always looks so off when i tweak it 😭 it just looks like it was just placed there

[cerulean yacht]

Nope nothing like that

[viscid fern]

Does anyone have any videos on how to make logos like this

[honest thicket]

Just learning about workflows as I eventually want to get into production.. if anyone could lend a hand.. using the eyedropper tool on say.. a .jpg that has a pantone colour pallete isn't really pantone then, is it? I actually have to have the pallete downloaded to use? Thanks.

[honest thicket]

I've had a USB that sustained water damage.. and within it were photos which appeared like this.. corrupted.. this may or may not be your issue. Either this or consider inspecting the file to see if it's compatible with a certain version. Sometimes my .blend files won't open if I use a certain version.

[honest thicket]

Gradient tool. BG to transparent.

[hushed niche]

Hi, it is corrupted. Check for the drives integrity. Get into the habit to make incremental saves: v1, v2… see: https://www.artstation.com/marketplace/p/XOdlp/save-as-today-s-date-auto-version-up-photoshop-script

[vapid flume]

You can stumble upon a JPEG that has a colour that is equal to a Pantone but it would be an accident.
First of all, there are multiple Pantone Books, too many to list here, so a Pantone colour is one colour in a particular book.
You can get a Pantone swatches into Photoshop but beware:

Pantone sawatches have been discountinued within Adobe Product for a couple of years now, they are upllied anymore. Pantone has opted for a subscription system with their App "Pantone Connect" instead and the collaboration has ended.

The only way to obtain Pantone swatches within Photoshop is to downlaod an older version of Photoshop (I don't know how old you can go, but I can try to find oout)

[honest thicket]

Correct, I have a few swatches but I'm stuck trying to figure out how to match what I see in the .jpg with what swatches I have available..

Also I'm slowly discovering that PS discontinued the things I need.. I can't even export as .SVG...

[vapid flume]

Even then, the Pantone swatches within Photoshop were never really actualised: In the last iteration, a lot wre missing (They ahven't been updated for couple of years) and some legacy ones were still available

[honest thicket]

...and... the application I need it for is now guiding me towards illustrator which sucks because I have no experience in it.

[hushed niche]

Hi, it would be whatever values set for the eyedropper: CYMK, RGB, HSL, etc.

[vapid flume]

If you got the %ink of of each channel available in your phisical swatches then you can just match them with the numbers

(It doesn't work for neon, metallic etc.. obv)

[honest thicket]

Right

[vapid flume]

AS @hushed niche said 🙂

[hushed niche]

You mean on the layer mask, I guess, it might be good to clarify for the OP.

[honest thicket]

I'm just working with coated/uncoated, very simple

[honest thicket]

I suspected this lol

[vapid flume]

Do you have one of those books where you find the % of inks on it? (Not all of them have it)

[honest thicket]

I'm not sure @vapid flume

[hushed niche]

Thanks, I’d rather say, as @vapid flume said, you answer is way more elaborate!

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume (current: #8 - 687)

[hushed niche]

What is your goal, and output mode exactly?

[honest thicket]

It's a bit... complicated. If you'll allow me to explain to the best of my ability..

[vapid flume]

Go ahead!

[vapid flume]

Can you take a photo of that book?

[honest thicket]

I'm trying to work on a kit for cycling.. I own a Specialized bike (I grabbed the same font) and was aiming to use the same red Specialized uses.. I'm pretty good in Blender/PS but just learning about vectorizing images.. sadly however the people who will be making the kit can't use what I've made in Blender here: Please don't mind the music... https://gyazo.com/083d54650aff4fd18db4f5f101207932

[hushed niche]

Hi, creating logos is rather the outcome of a full curriculum, there are videos on how to create a given logo, but they might not delve on the whole creative process that lead to it…

[honest thicket]

They're trying to get me to use their online design lab.. and that requires uploading everything I have in Blender as separate .SVG files..

[simple pond]

Lookin for any help to create a similar filter effect to these photos (not my photos, from someone on another DC server I'm in) I'm very new to photoshop but I'd assume it's got something to do with adding noise to the image?

[vapid flume]

see my book, front is the Pantone code, there is nothing at the back
Sometimes some books (the ones for printers) have the detail of % of CMYK at the back (the old ones at the front)

[honest thicket]

On top of that.. I can't upload the images unless they're using the swatch colours they provide.. and they only provide ASE... not ACO...

[vapid flume]

Otherwise, tell me their Pantone code, and I will try to give you the closest

[honest thicket]

For reasons aforementioned.

Hence, I'm now debating learning Illustrator.

[vapid flume]

I can oalso to to share the .ase files (if I got them, no guarantees)

[honest thicket]

I would love that Sandrine

[vapid flume]

Illustrator would be required for that kind of job in a production set up anyway

Which colour is is? (Pantone code)

[honest thicket]

I need this red

[vapid flume]

THey didn't give you the codes?

[honest thicket]

Nope. I can try and find it

[vapid flume]

https://encycolorpedia.com/companies/us/specialized-bicycle-components

I found that

[honest thicket]

Oh wow

Big thank you @vapid flume

The brand guide has been published but it's restricted
https://issuu.com/jrun1974/docs/2012_usa_brand_book

I think All I got are either .aco or .acb swatches files

[honest thicket]

Yeah.. really disheartening to hear that PS is stepping away from it all.. I can't even export .SVG unless I switch to some Legacy thing.. and the reason? Not enough people use it. 😦

[hushed niche]

Hi, I would rather add grain using camera raw, or camera raw as a filter. And explore the sliders. (Negative dehaze could add some moodiness)

[vapid flume]

Blame Pantone 🙂

[hushed niche]

This answer was hard to hear from the team, knowing the number of people that want to simplify the save as.. how many save to TGA?

[vapid flume]

They've become greedy

[honest thicket]

I do if I'm doing emission xD

[vapid flume]

Your red closest match is
Pantone 2035C

[honest thicket]

One more question if I may @vapid flume

[vapid flume]

No worries

[honest thicket]

The goal (and this is probably my oversight) was not the red in the logo which happens to be red.. I just assumed it's the same red as my bike.. is there any way of knowing for sure?

[vapid flume]

These are the closest matches

[vapid flume]

Work with colorimetre 🙂

[honest thicket]

That's hardcore

[vapid flume]

That's real print jobs darling 😂

[honest thicket]

This is the red on my bike (same bike frame) just the bike in the photo isn't mine https://gumtreeau-res.cloudinary.com/image/private/t_$_s-l400/gumtree/c9d3f09d-236e-41fe-9926-16777f8c32f0.jpg

I imagine it's the same red

[vapid flume]

Yes, the issue you can't tell from a photo. The lighting is uncontrolled, you don't know the filter that the camera have used, and certainly Discord is not considred a colour controled environemnt

[honest thicket]

Exactly!

[vapid flume]

You need to find the numbers

[honest thicket]

I was just about to send one of mine but the lighting prevented me

[vapid flume]

I would contact Specilaized press department and ask them

Or try to find a branding guide that is available

[honest thicket]

Crazy how deep the rabbit hole goes lol

[vapid flume]

we even didn't scratch the surface 🙂

Here is a website repository of branding guides, try and do a search
https://brandingstyleguides.com/

[honest thicket]

Thanks again @vapid flume for all the help.. I didn't even know these resources existed.. let alone try and think to search these things up

does anyone know how to make the borders on the edges the same width?

[regal rock]

Hey, i have a question in regards to masking something (picture). i want to have the character and the sword including the "magic trail" that it leaves behind and all the blue particles. so basically all the blue things and the character. Whats the best way to do this? I've tried manually masking with the pen tool but its definetly not the best option especially in the "magic trail" the sword leaves where the opacity is a bit lower. and ofc the particles. is there a goood way to do this?

[tulip kayak]

hi @everyone please provide download link.

[ivory rampart]

Character should be easy to mask, as for particles probably select by color for bigger particles and blend if for particles

[ivory rampart]

Link for Photoshop?

[tulip kayak]

@ivory rampart yes bro

[ivory rampart]

https://www.adobe.com/uk/

[tulip kayak]

thanks

[regal rock]

mhh yea i got the character masked. how do i select by color and blend? i dont have much experience

[ivory rampart]

From top menu select-> select by color

As for blending double click on layer

To bring layer styles

[soft light]

Any ideas?

[tulip kayak]

@ivory rampart need to pay or its free

[ivory rampart]

You have 7 days free trial but photoshop is paid app

[tulip kayak]

@ivory rampart actually i am a bigneer. i want to learn first. so any other app which is free

[ivory rampart]

It looks like you’re creating some vector logo, i would probably use illustrator for it as it’s better tool to work with vectors

[ivory rampart]

Gimp/krita

[soft light]

Ahhhh

Alright cheers !!

[regal rock]

ive got something like this now. are you saying i should mask out the character first without any of the blue?

[ivory rampart]

You can add selection for character

Or duplicate layer and mask just characte

[regal rock]

how would i add a selection?

[ivory rampart]

Use quick selection tool and change it mode to add

Or magic wand

Whatever you find easier to work with

[regal rock]

ive got a gross selection now. but its not accurate in some places for example on the left foot. it selected more than it should. is there a way to manually correct?

[ivory rampart]

You can refine

[regal rock]

how? lol

[soft light]

is there a way to like

select all the pixels inside the selection area

Since it seems like sometimes it will make the edges transparent

[ivory rampart]

There is an option in top menu saying select and mask, it will open new window where you can refine

[misty valve]

i've "extracted" my dogs paw from a picture but thats pretty much the most i can do atm. is someone able to add a bit more detailing/fur like in the tattoo?

[ivory rampart]

probably could be done better

[ivory rampart]

Personally I would use blender and render hair card

Unless you’re willing to paint it by hand

[main burrow]

Hello everyone i would to expand my image by using ai but it told me " The current settings for the "Generative filling" command are not correct." sorry it's writte in french on the picture but its basically said that, thank you in advance

Hey guys, I'm trying to blend these two images on the top to look like a smooth transition, any idea how one would go about doing that

[civic portal]

how to create this effect with text while keeping it readable,

[knotty tulip]

copy the text, and leave top text layer with some sort of outline to leave it readable ?

[vagrant perch]

wdym scan blend modes

[bold galleon]

I'd select the layer I want it to affect and then click the blend mode, then use my up and down arrows to find the one that works the best. There's usually 1 or 2 that stand out the most

[vagrant perch]

My face is the first layer so theres nothing to blend

The lighting for the face is also not the same as the statue which is another issue

[ivory rampart]

put images on separate layers and changing blend mode should do it

[earnest tartan]
