[feral totem]

Ahh, okay. I see. Thank you. Let me try to crop it now

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @stiff trail (current: #181 - 9)

[feral totem]

Yes! It worked. Thank you so much, man! This means a lot to me. It's been a bit of a rough ride moving from Inkscape to this. I appreciate it a lot

[viral palm]

Just click on the mask thumbnail in the layers panel.

[storm path]

Any advice?

[molten nacelle]

Would need to know some more info, like what level of downscaling, and if it's already downscaled are you trying to upscale? Or just export as is?

[viral palm]

Settings depend what your’re looking for…
If you downscale your image from the export as menu you can play with resample options… (Bicubic sharper is known to be better for downscale)

[river otter]

Hello does anyone know how to create a layer mask that way I can have it all selected and make the smoke darker to go onto a shirt?

[tame cape]

something like that?

[river otter]

Yes how did you do that?

[tame cape]

adjustment layer with the setting shown in the screenshot

[river otter]

Like this right?

[viral palm]

Looks like you’re in channel panel…

[river otter]

My adjustment layber is on the other screen sorry

[viral palm]

Ok , so yes just crank up the black output like you did!👍

how can i achive this effect? i mean the man with only green

[gritty grove]

Hi - when uploading to Adobe Portfolio should I upload my images in 72 dpi or 300 dpi? When I uploaded them in 72 dpi it looked blurry

[viral palm]

Just the green or the engraved money effect too?
If you want the whole money effect => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLRDCn5UMOo

[viral palm]

What's the pixels dimension (HxW in pixels) of the image you've uploaded?
For web display dpi is not relevant.

[lime pebble]

is there like a ruler tool or something

to measure stuff

in inches

[viral palm]

Just to be clear... A 2000px by 2000 px picture will look the same in 72ppi or 300ppi.
But if you use Image>Image size... to change resolution from 300 to 72 and tick the Resample box photshop will resample your image and change it to 480x480 px.

[tame cape]

Ctrl + R

[viral palm]

CTRL+R to display Rulers then right click on one of the rulers to change units

[gritty grove]

It’s 3000 px x 2250 px

[viral palm]

so you've uploaded a 3000px X 2250 px (300ppi) on your Adobe portfolio and it looks blurry?

[gritty grove]

No at 72 dpi it was blurry lol.

I was just wondering if anything uploaded to Adobe Portfolio needs to be higher like 150 or 300 dpi

[viral palm]

https://help.myportfolio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038360914-Formatting-Images#:~:text=The biggest rendition we generate,Website Container
Check this page for more info... Rendering seems to be variable depending the resolution of the screen where portfolio will be displayed
Maybe your image is too large and has been "downscaled"(?)... But as I said 72ppi or 300ppi doesn't matter in the case of online displayed image.

[viral palm]

TBH, I've never experienced any Blurry picture with Adobe portfolio but I use the same rules than behance project so I never post images larger than 1400px wide.
And I always set my pictures to 300ppi (even if I'm sure it's not the problem here). If you can you could try to upload the same image (3000x2250) in 72ppi and 300ppi and see if there is any difference... Maybe I'm wrong (but I'm 99.9% sure I'm not)😉 . I you see any difference, please let me know.

[stark wharf]

Select the man, create a layer mask and use adjustment layer to vary the hue/saturation. make sure colorize is switched on

[crude belfry]

Anyone know how to not make this picture blurry when rendering ? Cause when i put it on the case the pic is blurry and not clean at all

[stark wharf]

If you have it selected and masked, use Gaussian blur

[crude belfry]

how do you mask the picture

no cause i dont want it to be blurry

[stark wharf]

Sorry read it wrong way. What do you mean rendering? When you export?

[crude belfry]

yes exactly i dont know if there were certain settings that made the quality better in general

[stark wharf]

How do you plan to use it, in print or screen? Make sure resolution is high enough.

[crude belfry]

yeah well i want to put it on a case

might be the case website too

[stark wharf]

What format do they ask for? Do they have a specification for the file

[crude belfry]

yeah 1201 x 2080 px

do you think if i put it in that format itll look cleaner?

[stark wharf]

Whats your image resolution?

[crude belfry]

where do i see

[stark wharf]

If you output to their dimensions it should be fine. Image menu/image size

Do they specify resolution?

[crude belfry]

okok thanks

its at 72 pix/inch

idk if its low

[stark wharf]

That’s screen resolution

Can you resize to their dimensions and resolution

[crude belfry]

wait is resolution in pixels?

[stark wharf]

It may not be as sharp as you want but you could try sharpening

[crude belfry]

ok i will do that

[stark wharf]

Usually for print it’s dpi (dots per inch)

[crude belfry]

ok thanks i will try resizing on their website

[stark wharf]

If you can get to their spec with photoshop I would do that then upload

[crude belfry]

it says to vectorize it to up the quality

[stark wharf]

That’s if you have vector artwork to start with. You could try placing into illustrator and running image trace at colour and high res setting to vectorize. Not sure how it will cope with that image

If you get ps file to the correct size and high resolution it should work. So much artwork/photographic images must surely be used by them

[storm path]

No upscaling. Just downscaling to decrease the size of an image as a PNG file. Looking to preserve as many details as possible. I decreased the dimensions via the Image Size tab, so resizing it. Now I'm looking to export.

[molten nacelle]

Two questions! Are you trying to reduce size as in file size? If so… Does it need to be a PNG? JPGs have a higher compression rate, resulting in smaller files. But if it needs to remain a PNG, downscaling via Image Size works, you can also reduce the bit depth to reduce file size, but that might be noticeable in the export depending on the image

[plush stirrup]

but thanks for letting us know

[wary roost]

Why isn't the gradient being applied to the outline?

[tame cape]

Maybe nothing was selected/active?

[plush stirrup]

is this gradient also created in the same layer style?

[crude belfry]

thanks btw i used vectorizer and it worked

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @stark wharf (current: #225 - 7)

[wary roost]

The flame is selected

[wary roost]

OuterGlow, yeah

[plush stirrup]

it might be worth doing that on a separate layer style (you can group the layer and apply another style to that group)

[wary roost]

like on an empty layer?

madea a group, and that didnt work either

[tame cape]

something like that?

[wary roost]

this is what the old one looked like. I thought the graident meant like a linear gradient across the shape

[tame cape]

Try to use stroke (with gradient) instead of Outer glow with gradient

[wary roost]

Perfect, thank you so much!

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @tame cape (current: #30 - 70)

would it be possible to sharpen the edges instead of have them rounded?

Yes.
But not with an effect. Use the real stroke for your shape instead.

Anyone here?

Can anyone or someone who knows to make 32k resolution on a picture to help me

With this

Picture

Could find free website to high resolution on 32k

Anyone?

[molten nacelle]

I mean 32k is a massive resolution, what in the world is your display set up like haha

[river otter]

Just wondering what word look like

Is it to much?

[molten nacelle]

I’d argue it’s incredibly unnecessary, you’d need 16 8K TVs to even display it

At its native resolution that is

[river otter]

Will you help me out?

Or can you

Make it to higher resolution

I don't want it from an free website with ai

Just standard higher resolution

[molten nacelle]

I can make it to a larger resolution, I’m not at my computer right now but when I get there for sure. In the meantime there are some great open source upscaling tools online: https://github.com/nagadomi/waifu2x ignore the name, people use it to upscale old anime but it works on quite a few different types of images

[river otter]

Am not on pc

Android

Can...

Hmm

You get on Pc

Pls Bro

It word make my day today if u could

Pleeease

No?

Anyyyyone

[molten nacelle]

Patience my friend, I'll get to it when I'm able to momentarily

[river otter]

Does work on mobile?

[molten nacelle]

Also just for future reference a single 32k image would likely be several gb which is a bit absurd

[midnight onyx]

what's the best way to make it look like something is partially submerged in water?

I know that you can simulate water distortion just using "distort" effects or any sort of glass effect. It's hard to map out what needs to get blurred and what doesn't though.

[molten nacelle]

Another key thing to note, the image you shared is only 743 × 674 which isn't the highest resolution to start with. Upscaling cannot add details that don't exist. Starting with a clearer screenshot (if you have one) would be great

[river otter]

There is the screen shot

[molten nacelle]

This is what a 4x basic upscale looks like, turning it into 2972 × 2696

[midnight onyx]

this doesn't look even a little like there's water at the bases of the trees.

[river otter]

I can't see any differences

Sometimes you do

[river otter]

There just litte blue i use from converter from free website

[molten nacelle]

Like I said, normal upscaling can't add details that don't exist. That's where your AI upscalers come in and try to do some guesswork

[viral palm]

Change your image to Smart Object and try "Super zoom" Neural filter.
Honnestly get 32K with a 700x600 original picture? You're an optimistic guy...
Each upscaling step is longer than the one before so I won't do it... But now you know how to do it.

[river otter]

Can you scale it up to 32k resolution?

[molten nacelle]

Like he said, each step will take longer... getting to 32k would take some patience for very VERY little payoff

[river otter]

Frank..

Are you on progress?

[molten nacelle]

He said he wouldn't, but showed you the steps

[river otter]

@viral palm i need ur help i can't do this without you i am on Android

Wish there someone could be here for me

[molten nacelle]

I don't know why I invested as much time into this as I did (I probably shouldn't), but using multiple different upscaling methods... I'm tapping out around at a 16k jpg, even though it really shouldn't have been scaled beyond 4k (with or without AI)

[river otter]

It has white line on the hair

Butt i tryed from free website was't good

I wanted from a Photoshop because i know they do better with no ai

[molten nacelle]

Photoshop neural filters are AI...

[river otter]

They are?

No butt don't know meaby i were wrong then

It had white line at hair

[molten nacelle]

The "neural" is from neural network, which is machine learning, which is AI

[river otter]

My girl says i should't ask anyone butt i going get my profile picture 32k resolution

Sorry for mine English not from Uk or Us

I think am going

Thanks for the help guys btw

You walker

Take care off you bro

[molten nacelle]

I hate to say it, but your girl is right. I don't think there's a single website, application, or platform on the planet that will support a profile picture that resolution. But I wish you the best of luck 🫡

You've probably chosen a file extension your OS is set to open with photoshop... Illustrator Discord server is probably the best place to ask question about Adobe Ilustrator https://www.discord.gg/adobeillustrator

[tame cape]

For example, you can use the ‘Inner Shadow’ layer style.

To add what @tame cape said, you also can search for "Photoshop Debossed Text effect" or "Photoshop Carved text effect" on Youtube.
They are a lot of tutorials which could help you achieve a more refined/detailed text effect like this (if you need to).

[cunning wren]

how do i add shadow in bottom part of the icon (not in the edge to outer, but edge closer to icon center)

[storm path]

Yes, reducing file size was the intention and PNG is preferable, since I prefer it as a lossless container. Reducing bit depth definitely degrades the image too far from what is desirable. My particular inquiry would be with Export As - what resample option is best suited for downscaling via Image Size.

Another tangential question is that I have a layer within a PSD and I resized it without any particularly noticeable detriments. What resample option is best for exporting the image after performing this also?

[dense hollow]

how do i make objects high quality even when i zoom in

[ripe quest]

Use images that are larger / higher resolution.

(Or just look at the layout at 100%)

[cunning wren]

text itself is pixellated but not pixellated on ai

[ripe quest]

Photoshop is primarily a raster/pixel-based image app. It works on a finite grid of pixels. Adobe Illustrator is primarily a vector-based app. It uses shapes made of anchor points and trajectories that are assigned qualities like fills and strokes. They are not dependent on "resolution." You should become familiar with these image types and how they work.

how can i make the outline sharper on the text?

You can try to change stroke position in Layer Fx panel but you won't fully sharp angles.
If you want sharp angles outline you'll need to go with illustator and "offset path" feature...(screenshot)

hey yall, trying to figure out how to make all the areas that the text intersects with the spotlight black

im aware i could always just rastrize it and use an overlay in a dif photoshop file but i wanna know if theres an intended way to do that

[north stone]

but i dont have font that you can see below the "Discord" text. When im trying with another fonts, its look the same

[thorn anvil]

could you clarify what you meant by this?

i think all pixxel wants you to do is download an identitical font of a higher quality

[wary roost]

How can i remove the top handle?

[north stone]

i downloaded this photo from internet

[thorn anvil]

so find a similar font

[north stone]

And when Im trying to change this text it looks like this

[thorn anvil]

they showed a few possible candiates above

[north stone]

I tried

it looks the same

[thorn anvil]

thats probably a result of some weird conversion stuff

even with added fonts?

maybe you want to increase the pixels per inch

should be in edit > preferances

it might be written as dpi

or dots per inch

[tame cape]

Which setting are you using?

[north stone]

wait a second

[north stone]

sharp

[tame cape]

try none (or similar)

[thorn anvil]

is there a way to hide everything thats not intersecting with a specific layer?

[north stone]

now it look like this

@tame cape Maybe its because of these settings?

[tame cape]

Try increasing the font size

[north stone]

It works, but letters don't have a good distance between them

[tame cape]

These are the problems that such pixel fonts have. Either a pixel is filled - or it remains empty.
The yellow font seems to be too big

[north stone]

so i cant do anything with this?

[north stone]

yea i changed the yellow one

but look at "y o u t u b e . c om"

but i fixed that

tysm bro

[tame cape]

Personally, I don't like using them. Because they only work with certain (few) font sizes

[north stone]

so how can i do them work in every sizes?

[tame cape]

No. you can't

[north stone]

okey

but tysm for your help

Hi @wary roost

[gritty grove]

When you place a design into illustrator into a psd mockup file, should I place it in as a PNG, JGP or AI file?

[viral palm]

Design made into Illustrator to PSD mockup. Right?
I think there is a missing word in your question...
You can place the 3 types of files.

[gritty grove]

Oh sorry I meant a design made in Adobe illustrator lmao

But then put into photoshop when I’m making a mockup

[viral palm]

You can still edit AI file imported by double clicking on the smart object > will open a new illustrator file (if you want to modify)
PNG is better than jpg because it alloys transparency but you can use jpeg too particularly if you don't have any transparency in or around your design.

[gritty grove]

I made my mockups by placing an AI file

[viral palm]

So you can place the 3 types...

[gritty grove]

Not PNG

Okay I was just wondering

If it was okay or not

[viral palm]

It's OK... YourAI file design is in RGB mode?

[gritty grove]

Ya!

[viral palm]

OK! so no problem!

[hushed tendon]

I have a really important question. Obvisously, the colors we percieve online differ from monitor to monitor, and also from program to program. I'm trying to make a logo that uses the REAL imbeded color code (Hex code) from a website. But I can never tell if what I'm picking is the actual color. Using the inspect element tool, the layout panel shows certain parts of the website, but the colors it gives are not even close to what I'm seeing on my monitor. Does anyone know how to obtain for certain what the actual color code is for elements on a website?

[molten nacelle]

If you use Chrome I think there are several extensions that can scrape color codes of different elements

[hushed tendon]

If I take a screenshot and bring it into photoshop, and use the eyedropper, is that the correct, genuine color code?@molten nacelle

[molten nacelle]

It will like be the correct code of whatever image file the website is sourcing, screenshots on Windows operate on 32 bit color as far as I’m aware

[molten nacelle]

The answer (in an ideal world) would be to have the client whose website it is, send you the source image / color codes. I know we aren’t always that lucky though

[sly hawk]

Any hex, RGB, CMYK value will technically be consistent across the world.

However, all monitors, settings, users etc will display it differently.

Just like people looking at a dog in the park.
Someone wearing sunglasses will percieve it differently to someone without glasses

If someone is that desperate for you to match the right colour, they should be able to provide it, without you needing to colourpick it in photoshop

You can inspect the code on a website to determine exact hex values used in solid colours, backgrounds and fonts etc

[jovial pond]

How do I achieve this effect? If you look closely around the corners, there is a type of haze or motion blur around the photo. I'm not sure what it's called, but does anyone know how I can achieve this?

[normal night]

Hey, Please someone can help me to creat a blur effect i don't want to blur a background or something i want a blured background

[shadow spear]

So I got this logo and I am using the screen overlay to create the shine and it works perfectly fine, but when I merge the logo without the background so that it becomes transparent the shine turns to a black background again.

Is there a way to fix this?

[fluid basalt]

how would i create text that looks somewhat like this?

i'm talking aboout how it sorta looks 3d-ish

[ripe quest]

I would use the Extrude feature in Adobe Illustrator...

[fluid basalt]

thx

[cunning wren]

hello, how do i make this better?

[viral palm]

I assume your shine effecys are made with "Light flares" on a black Background that you've applied over your design in screen blending mode?
Blending modes work only if there is a color below (Black, White or any other color).
Quick solution would be to use flares brushes rather than flares images...You can make your own brush from the pictures you used for your design or download some from the internet.
You can find some free brushes here: https://www.brusheezy.com/free/flare

[radiant sparrow]

Does anyone know how I can make this type of leaves in Photoshop?

[thorn anvil]

from what perspective?

[ripe quest]

Do you mean make a flat texture map that you're going to apply to a 3d model?

[radiant sparrow]

I mean like, how I can produce this type of leaves looking above (I believe this is orthographic view from above)... It has been something that I always wanted to know and to put on my 3D assets

[thorn anvil]

if your talking about a texture usage, id assume that veers more into the realm of art, although i could of course be wrong and there might be a secret shortcut to making those in photoshop

[radiant sparrow]

I feel like it uses an anchor point and then rotates until it makes a star... But, there's gotta be a shortcut to achieve somewhat like the picture

[ripe quest]

I would try Adobe Firefly and feed it a rough shape as a Composition Reference...

I used that because it was quick.

[radiant sparrow]

Where can I find Adobe Firefly, if possible to ask

Thank you so much!!!

[cunning wren]

how do i make the object not much pixelated when i zoom in

[ripe quest]

Any raster-based document will look pixelated when you zoom in since its made of pixels. Use Adobe Illustrator and make a vector-based object. I think I've told you this already.

[mortal junco]

can anyone help me wheneber i try to add a adjusment to one layer it wont let me it just keeps duplication it

how to make this in photoshop

[candid ferry]

is there a channel where i can get ideas

[runic nymph]

It would be easier to do in 3d program

[grand stump]

That seems to me basicaly a Collage of many different Elements. Maybe look through some Tutorials like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j9_ywshuDw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJOqUXVY7EQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCrtAziz97s
and put some ideas together with those Editing styles.

[grand stump]

what kind of ideas? in general look out for Creatives where you like that Style or Images or Movies or whatever. Then maybe try to do you own thing with that in mind. There are many Tutorials how Creatives have done there work where you can learn from.

[eternal sedge]

Hey i was wondering how u called the process of resizing an image but like corner by corner if that makes sense, where i can drag a corner without it changing the size of the whole image, just that specific corner

ty

[vapid flume]

I would say "cropping" if I understand you well

But I think I could do with a demo there 🙂

[eternal sedge]

well the actual idea i have is to make a rectangular box fit this space :

[vapid flume]

That would be cropping, cropping can be made to reduce the size or increase it

It's done with the crop tool

[eternal sedge]

cool ty very much

[vapid flume]

And if you need to add some elements you can draw what's missing or let the GenAI extend background do its thing

[eternal sedge]

ty

[hushed niche]

Hi, I would try a perspective cropping https://www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/perspective-crop-tool-photoshop/

Or if you use the transform tool, use CTRL/CMD to move the individual Corners

[eternal sedge]

👍

[candid ferry]

i am have a lot of ideas but just dont know how to make them

[slow fulcrum]

Hello! 🙂 May I ask something? In a .psd file with many layers, I wanna change one of the images (a flag) but i can't seem to find the whole image or it's size or anything. Anyone has an idea?

[tame cape]

show us your image and your layers panel, please

[tame cape]

Perhaps the flag could be in layer 48?

[slow fulcrum]

I can see the flag in the layers but not on the image, at least not the full one, so I can change it for another, I need the size and all. :\ thanks for any advise! ❤️

lemme try dear

[tame cape]

layer 49 is a clipping layer for layer 48
Move your mouse on the line between both layers - press Alt-key and click

[slow fulcrum]

O M G magic

wait, now I gotta insert the flag, stay online.

[odd bane]

can someone please help me export this stop motion from photoshop 2025? it keeps telling me that there is a memory problem but my memory is fine. its when I try to save as web legacy

[tame cape]

idk if I can help you
How much memory does Photoshop need for this operation (bottom left corner - unfortunately cut out in your screenshot)? And how big is your image (in pixels)?

[slow fulcrum]

Thanks again for your hep but how do I return it so that the flag only inside the globe is viewable (now it's not).

now delete empty layer 48
53 should be above 49
Move your mouse on the line between both layers (49/53) - press Alt-key and click

THANKS A MILLION!!!!!!! =))))))

[odd bane]

It’s 5464 x 8192

[ionic spoke]

ooo that’s a big one for a mac. What chip are you running?

[odd bane]

M3 pro

[ionic spoke]

hmm should be able to handle, but i’ve seen inconsistencies via my own mac vs windows with GPU and much higher ram. Are you able to export as of rn, or does it just clock and load for a while?

[odd bane]

no everytime i try to save as web legacy it says not enough memory but i definently have enough memory

[ionic spoke]

ahh nvm i see ur error

[odd bane]

i tried also lowering the percentage to 30

but it still doesen't work xD

[ionic spoke]

It is talking about the RAM available to PS. what is your current allocation?

[tame cape]

Do you really need this image size?
🧐

[odd bane]

how can i check, sorry

[ionic spoke]

no need to apologize, just go into your preferences and it should be under file handling or hardware? I’m forgetting the specific tab offhand

just make sure you have dedicated 90% to PS

ahh preferences>performance

[odd bane]

This?

Put the %70 to %80

[ionic spoke]

if it still bugs on you when doing that, i can attempt to export for you on my windows which is using a 64 GB Ram with a 3070

Yes, slide that to about a 90-95-%

what are other applications that you have open that could be consuming?

[odd bane]

Nothing actually, I have only photoshop opened

[odd bane]

I dont think so

[tame cape]

I don't think so either. What should the result be used for?

[odd bane]

its a stop motion for instagram

[tame cape]

Does Instagram perhaps have a recommended size for this?

[odd bane]

I think so

do you guys recommend another app to do it? that would be faster

[ionic spoke]

Are you making a post or a story for instagram

if the answer is either of the two, this size is much too big to provide any benefit as IG will compress

[ionic spoke]

you are attempting to compile a gif/video?

[odd bane]

yes

[tame cape]

Save your document first. (You can probably delete it later).
Then resize your document according to the Insta default and save it as a psd with a new name. Then try again to save it with save for web.

[ionic spoke]

If you are going for 1:1 ratio as a square, the highest i would go is 2560x2560

[odd bane]

yea thats what im trying right now

[ionic spoke]

ok lmk if that export works

it should. M3 Pro is a beast

brings me back a few years ago, when i purchased my first mac ever (m1 pro) i was so impressed at the time

[hushed tendon]

I have a question. If i made an image, that for example would go on a t-shirt, has a black background, is there a way to very accurately pick up on dark and black sections and make them gradually transparent depending on how dark? I'm just not sure what tools to use to do that

[odd bane]

hey yea sorry, i just used capcut xD. it was something time sensitive sorry. and yea the m3 pro is a beast, it holds up honestly way better then my old pc

[violet geode]

I use generative ai to remove a piece I didn't want and it left this little outline, how do I remove it? No idea how

[sharp oxide]

ok so i kinda...? figured out why. for some reason, when i try to adjust levels, it uses "gray channel" while other actions i've seen use "current channel"....... how do i change that?

converting to rgb uses "composite channel" which isn't the same thing...

[viral palm]

Remove tool

[violet geode]

dang its that easy

thanks

[viral palm]

If you don't want to use generative AI you can disable it or use content aware fill feature.

Your background is not so complicated so generative AI could not be necessary...

How many steps can you go back in your history panel?

[weak harness]

thats it

[slow fulcrum]

Guys, sorry for offtopic, but if you know some good AI app/website where to get a gif/video from text input, lemme know ❤️

[tame cape]

Have you saved locally or in the cloud?
Versions are stored in the cloud, even if they have the same name. If you have only saved locally and have not saved a previous version separately, there is no way back.

[weak harness]

Nope

so ig ill just get a new photo

[viral palm]

You made the mistake to apply noise on a rasterized layer... The noise is now fused/burnt inside your image and If you already closed the re open your file you can't reverse it with history or Ctrl+Z... I know it's hard to hear now because it's too late but you should have changes your layer to a Smart Object before applying the noise filter to be able to update or erase the applied filter.
So good to know for the future: Change your layers to smart object before applying filter as often as possible...

[weak harness]

Alright thanks

[viral palm]

You can try to apply filter on your noisy picture. Filter>Noise>Reduce noise... It will reduce noise but maybe it won't be enough...

[weak harness]

I already remade the image lol

its a little blurry but theres no noise

i just rescreenshotted what i used before

[viral palm]

A bit blurry but colors are more vibrant than my "reduce noise" version.

[weak harness]

thats good for attracting more viewers on youtube

How to onow if particular image is A4 format or else?

[lime oasis]

Generally novices would just paint over when creating a new texture of a 3d model. Like let's say there's a texture of plant and you want to turn the petals from yellow to blue. The only method novices know is to paint it with brush or or create an empty second layer and paint it blue then lower the opacity and boom, combine both.

Is there a professional way to do it. Both novice's method look cheap and terrible.

[thorn anvil]

i beleive you can do it with color range

let me make sure

[lime oasis]

Nice thanks for the help. Is it possible to change the color of a selected area of the texture to any color? If the whole texture contains all the texture of the 3d model like the por, stem, petals. If I want to just recolor the selected area of the te ture to any color. Is it possible or nah

[thorn anvil]

might not be the most efficient way, but you can always select what you want to affect and cut and paste it to a new layer

[lime oasis]

True, thanks again.

[fossil knot]

How do you outline an object but cut it off without encircling the entire object just the outer part to give it a glow or stroke

[ripe quest]

Try the Outer Glow Layer Style...

[fossil knot]

But is it possible to only select the outer part of something and not always encircle it?

[fossil knot]

I feel like it would be hard to outline something with the brush tool

[haughty storm]

could this be any better? The dog's mouth is a little dark and I think lighting is ok, but I think the dog's mouth needs more lighting?

this is what it looks like before I applied the harmonization filter

this is what it looks like before I used color dodge

[viral palm]

No, it's not possible... Selection need to be closed. But if you want to select the outer part you can invert your object selection. (ctrl+shift+I)

[coarse mesa]

How do I only color on one layer at a time

[ripe quest]

Select the Layer and paint on it.

[coarse mesa]

ok

[ripe quest]

You would select the Brush Tool. Then click on the Layer in the Layers Panel. If its the Background Layer, then you'll have to either unlock it first or create a new layer to paint on.

[viral palm]

Perhaps your harmonization filter strengh was a bit to high...
You might try to bring lights on the dog face (take exemple on highlights pumpkins) and don't forget to add shadows...
Shadows need to be treated with care, as they are very important in making composite images look realistic.

don't judge my shadows... Made quickly to illustrate my point 😉

[ripe quest]

Looks pretty good to me.

[haughty storm]

I agree shadows are pretty decent; I don't judge though, yeah I think the filter is a tad strong but I also think the other side of the dog is too light

[viral palm]

You're too kind Daniel!

[haughty storm]

and I think I found a better way to make it better

[viral palm]

Yep light can be tricky to handle in composite work... Reason why light source of stock images used is the first think to look at when you choose them. It can be a nightmare to make them fit together.

[haughty storm]

even if I had light neutral subjects, you still gotta add some lighting to it depending on the lighting situation

[random hornet]

Have you experienced issues with the "Align to Selection" feature not functioning properly? help

[storm path]

Image is stretched - any recommended ways to fix it?

[haughty storm]

start again, paste the original and before you do anything with it, convert the layer to a smart object then CTRL T will activate free transform, LOOK for the chain link icon click on it and it will keep it in exact ratio when you resize it 🙂

[sly hawk]

Yeah, either start again, or if you don't have a better original, just stretch it back out again

[sly hawk]

Does it have to be that image?

Taken from a travel bloggers website? - The image resolution is tiny, which makes cutting it out so, so much harder

[rocky egret]

Can someone remove someone out of a picture for me?

[haughty storm]

not as good as yours, but I was able to do this with the remove background tool and magic wand

without upscaling

[eternal thicket]

Well tbh, I took the first picture I could find of that statue, don't know the name of it.

[storm path]

Ah...I did not edit this beforehand so I do not have the original.

[storm path]

Any subsequent input?

[sly hawk]

You took the image yourself?
https://www.batravelguide.com/2008/05/monuments-of-buenos-aires-spaniards.html

Maybe they nicked your image then 🙂

[sly hawk]

It sounds like you can just chuck it into photoshop and then just pull the top UP

if it's set to stretch proportionally... just hold down SHIFT as you're dragging to STRETCH it

[eternal thicket]

No I didn't take it myself I took the first that specefic picture becuse I coudn't find another one of that statue. I searched for Buenos Aires.

On google images, I think I didn't write it properly

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for someone with good knowledge of this thing that, It's kinda urgent. Would you please like to guide me that
how do I bring in the eyedropper tool. Even though I've clicked the eyedropper tool, As shown in the image, it's coming as a prohibited option in the reference picture in photoshop software . Idk y. I'm unable to do so in photoshop software 2021 version in wacom one tab. Because I'm a complete beginner and I need step by step guidance. I won't be able to update this software as I don't have that much space for the latest version. But earlier. I was able to use this icon. But idk y I'm not able to do so. I've checked all the youtube tutorials. It's coming as the one marked with green color in the pic. But I think google is not able to understand my query. So would you please like to help me out step by step how do I bring out this eye dropper tool option. Why is it not coming in my photoshop?
If you would like to help, please
ping
Thank you!

[ripe quest]

First, you have the "Color Sample Tool" selected and not the Eyedropper. They're slightly different.

[ripe quest]

https://www.google.com/search?q=Photoshop+Eyedropper+vs+Color+Sample+Tool&rlz=1C1ONGR_enUS1031US1031&oq=Photoshop+Eyedropper+vs+Color+Sample+Tool&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRigATIHCAYQIRirAjIHCAcQIRiPAtIBCjExODcwajBqMTWoAgiwAgE&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

[ripe quest]

Unless that is the old 3D Eyedropper. Even so, still not the Eyedropper Tool. You'll need to switch to the correct tool. For future questions, please take a proper screenshot in Windows rather than taking a photo with your phone. Its too difficult to see with the bad quality and screen glare.

[ripe quest]

You cannot just scale the image and expect Photoshop to compensate and move all of the objects around. You'll have to create a new layout and reposition all of the elements respectively.

[pulsar vortex]

any idea why I originally set a resolution on illustrator, but when I created the file it decreased the height?

[ripe quest]

Did you import this AI document into an existing Photoshop document or just open it?

I'm having a difficulty understanding what the problem is or what it is that you're trying to do here.

[pulsar vortex]

I opened a graphic design mock up in photoshop, went into the part where you replace the default design with your own design, and it had a specific width and height that I put into illustrator, to create my new design using the mockup as a dieline template. I entered the width and height and didnt look to see if it actually entered those numbers, boom, I finish the design and export and drag it into photoshop, and it needs more height

[quasi finch]

if im looking for someone to edit pictures, where can i put out a post or hire someone? (for pay obviously)

[haughty storm]

fiverr, upwork, behance

[sharp oxide]

sorry to bump again... just an issue i've been wondering. or is this a bug?

[random hornet]

following up on this please.

[sly hawk]

Yeah

I think I know what it is

[viral palm]

Is the part where you replace the design a Smart Object? Did you take the dimension of the smart object opened by itself(double click on it then go to image size)

[sly hawk]

When you turn a modified image into a smart object, it kinda that 'snapshot' as the base smart object.

if you brighten a shot by 50% and then make it a smart object... the smart object doesn't 'know' that it's already 50% brighter than it was originally.

Try again but make it a smart object FIRST... then play around with levels.

or.. skip the smart object bit entirely.

[viral palm]

What do you mean by « properly » . It doesn’work at all or something is going wrong… Could you clarrify?

[random hornet]

After selecting the objects, I clicked on the reference object I wanted them to align,. .Normally when you select the reference object it gets highlighted, but now it doesnt.

[sharp oxide]

it actually still does it even when it's not a smart object

[sharp oxide]

the biggest difference that i noticed is basically what i put here

[viral palm]

I think you ‘re confusing with the Adobe Illustrator behavior

[sharp oxide]

which makes me wonder why it's not using "current channel" and is instead is "gray channel" (when on grayscale, which even if the image is grayscale, the levels won't apply) and "composite channel" (it'll prompt you to input the levels manually if grayscale)

[sly hawk]

Works when I try it....

[viral palm]

In Photoshop you can align on selcted objects or canvas but you can’t make an object as refrence (like in Illustrator)

[sly hawk]

Unless I'm missing something?

[random hornet]

i believe you can. it worked before.

[sly hawk]

If I run an action where I tweak the levels... the levels are 'remembered' next time I run it. - That's the whole point of an action?

[sly hawk]

Yeah, that's what Franck was saying. "you can align on selcted objects"

[sharp oxide]

what photoshop version are you using...?

[sharp oxide]

yeah that Should be the case but that's not happening for me somehow

this only started happening when i updated to 2025 it was fine before

[viral palm]

But you can’t choose which of two elements will be the reference.
Ex:If you want to align on the left photoshop will take the far left object as reference and you can’t choose an other element as reference…

[viral palm]

Thanks ….I doubted myself for 10seconds

Finaly I found a way to align to a "reference" object...
Select all the layers you want to align (Ctrl+click on layers names in layers panel) then create a selection of the element you want to use as reference (CTRL+Click on its thumbnail in Layers Panel) . The selection is taken as "reference"

[viral palm]

Red elipse become the reference object by making an active selection of it. In this second video you can see if you don't make any selection Photoshop align objects in the middle of the whole group of objects...

@random hornet please note all the videos were made with the align to "selection" option not "canvas".

[viral palm]

You're probably in "None" mode for anti-aliasing => try one of the other options... It should fix your problem.

Hey guys
does anyone of you guys know how to create this specific gradient or shape ? I saw it online and it was pretty cool. They made it in illustrator however. I’d love to make it in diff colors. If anyone is willing to help, feel free to ping

[ripe quest]

Its done with Illustrator because there is a Gradient Mesh tool in there.

You could just paint this and/or manipulate it with the Warp Transform and Liquify Filters probably.

[short pelican]

So id create a Rectangle w a gradient

And then warp it ?

[ripe quest]

You could try using a Rectangle with a Gradient assigned to it. Then: Transform > Warp...

Might just be easier to paint on a couple of layers.

Is there a fix or reason on why, when I use a outside or center stroke I get these little black dots. They go away if I use a inside stroke but i wanted to use a outside stroke on thisimage. Any fix?

[viral palm]

That's because there are little pixel on the layer you're applying the Stroke fx... They're probably small you can see them until you apply the stroke Fx.
Try to clean up the layer on which you want to apply your stroke (eraser or layer mask technique).

Step 1 create a texture as shown in this short video

Then apply the texture over your design in Overlay blend mode (you can also adjust blending with blend if technique) and mask to hide places where you don<t want the texture to be applied.

Note: To open "blend if" menu double click beside the layer name in the layer panel,
To split the "blacks" cursor hold Alt+click on the cursor.

How to make rectangle particular ratio in Photoshop?

Rectangle (I am asking for) = 9:16 inside above canvas for important Ad details

Never mind, I can just crop to 9:16, and copy that smart object to 1:1 canvas project.

[vapid flume]

You can set up specific ratio and/or dimensions in the properties panels for the vector shapes

If you use selections this is done in the top menu

Then apply the lock and type in your dimensions in one of the fields (the other will follow the original ratio)

[vapid flume]

I assume the display changed but not the brushes themselves?
If so, try ticking those in the brush settings

When you update, make sure you tick the "transfer" presets as it's the only way to keep your preferences

[forest kestrel]

I've been using PS for some years now, and for some reason my brain is shorting right now.
I have forgot the keybind to preview, to showcase the project without rulers, lines etc.

Recently updated to 26.0(?), and I'm unsure if this is the reason. I was used to having the button on the left bar. Using a mac - if that helps.

Appreciate the help.

Tab Key and/or F Key are your friend

[torn condor]

Whats best way to smooth out gradient map rim highlights (layers) using just mouse, except for playing all day long with opacities of different under gradient map layers?

[vapid flume]

Apply a mask on the gradient and use a gradient on the mask?

Or maybe I misunderstood

[torn condor]

I have that for TV, light coming to tv is delibarate.

If you meant on that.

[vapid flume]

Yes that's what I mean. But which parts do you want to fade exactly?

[torn condor]

See the lighting on TV, it looks more of a watercolor than actual light, I want it to be glossy, fading away on TV, and also between the colors itself, as white to yellow, you can see it is obvious.
With mouse it is hard to control pressure so I wondered if I can fake it except by blurring it.

[vapid flume]

Have you tried with a blending mode? ie: try screen and see if that works

[torn condor]

I have tried, no rim light there by default, edge is black, so it does not help.

I meant to say, I even tried blending to object with blend if.

[vapid flume]

You could try one of the blur from the gallery, just throwing things here. For example path blur or tilt shift, where you can control the amount of blur along a path or along a distance

[torn condor]

Will try that, thanks.

[vapid flume]

AS I said, no guarantees but it worth a try!

Also one thing, if you're using a brush with a mouse, you can find ways to mimic the pressure sensitivity with the mouse wheel. I'm really not good with a mouse, so I was never been able to make it work personally, but that doesn't means someone else can't.

I couldn't do without a tablet in Photoshop, so I never really pushed that one

Also try to tick this one (top menu)

If you're using a low opacity and low flow, you'll be able to build up the opacity over time

[small trail]

hey all, whenever i try to fill in a selection with a solid color with the bucket, it doesnt fully color it with that color, and it goes outside of the selection too

[small trail]

anti alias is off same with contiguous,

[vapid flume]

see those settings, and mostly tolerance. the bucket tool is reacting the same way as the magic wand, meaning that you can adjust the tolerance based on the similarity of tones between the area to fill and the outside. The better the difference is the better the tool will react

That said, and I know it doesn't help, but the bucket tool is really a crude tool for that kind of work, and you might consider changing the colour instead of filling with another.

[small trail]

Changing the tolerance hasnt done anything:(

[vapid flume]

For example you could select the writing with the magic wand, make sure you got the best selection possible and apply a Hue/Saturation layer to it, changing the colour of just the blue tones

[small trail]

Im trying to make a transparent png of the text with one color

[vapid flume]

That being said, the resolution and size doesn't look like it's great, for small images there is always the problem of jagged edges

[small trail]

its the highest res ive been able to find:(

what would be the easiest process to turn it into a transparent png?

[vapid flume]

It would be best to turn it into a mask and apply that mask to a solid colour

It will never be perfect because the size isn't big enough

without the background, it will need some correction and tweaking

it won't be a one click affair

I created the mask by using the different channels. I "substracted the blue channel from the red channel, but as you see even that is not 100% exact, you'll need to refine the mask by painting on it

Can you send the full image here?

Assuming this is Reek of Putrefaction (the band) and not Carcass' song, It will be difficult for you to find a bigger size (and potentially you'd have more luck asking the band (if they still exist)

[small trail]

Its actually the album by the band carcass haha, but the full artwork is considered nsfw, since its a collage of photos from surgery journals

ive been trying to find a hd one for ages

but unfortunately its nearly impossible to find

[vapid flume]

Well I found merch black and white tee shirts that would be easier for you to take from, but it would also be an IP infringement, depending on what you want to do with the artwork

That doesn't mean it will be easy, but it will be easier than with the album cover in the BG

[small trail]

i think i have an idea though, I might invert the selection, delete everything around it, fill with white and then delete all of the stuff inside, then fill with color

[small trail]

make a poster for personal use,

[vapid flume]

But again, I wouldn't encourage it, because you know... copyrights

[small trail]

thank you, i couldnt not find something like this anywhere 🙏

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume (current: #8 - 773)

[small trail]

im pretty sure it falls into fair use to use for personal use on a poster

[vapid flume]

I typed "carcass reek of putrefaction" + logo and chose "large" in the size drop down

and you need to scroll and also know that there is more than one page 🙂

https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/reek of putrefaction

I trust you do the right think and keep it for personal use

Also know that there are official posters available to buy. I mean that's how bands make money!

[small trail]

a bit embarrassed now, XDDD

[vapid flume]

No need to be. Now rest in hell my friend! 😂

[small trail]

yeah when i search this up it doesnt come up with the same resultst aha

[small trail]

unfortunately not in the shape im looking for:(

I guess it depends on the country and if any "safe searches" have been put on Google (you can try another search engine BTW)

[small trail]

do you recommend any specifically? I dont have safe search on strangely enough

[vapid flume]

Which country are you in?

[small trail]

the UK

[vapid flume]

OK, I'm in the UK too
you can try Duck Duck Go. It works pretty well (I have it on my Ipad)

[fading storm]

someone knows how to remove the bg i know its easy but bec the opacity and that the bg stays behind

[storm path]

I have a layer within a PSD and I resized (enlarged) it without any particularly noticeable detriments. What resample option is best for exporting the image after performing this?

What resample option is best suited for downscaling via Image Size?

[tame cape]

@fading storm
If you don't have a layered PSD file, it's not that easy. Sorry to destroy your faith in it.

[civic forum]

I have a layer set to darken and I want to merge it with another one, but when I do, it changes to "normal" mode and not darken and then merges, how can I merge them and use the darken too on it? 🤔

[molten nacelle]

Can you post a screenshot of what you're talking about?

You have to merge all layers being affected by the Darkened layer, otherwise it will just merge the values of the layers you've selected

[vapid flume]

You need to create a stamped version of it

• only make these two layers visible
• hit the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+ ALT+E (otherwise known as "the claw" 🙂 )
• you now get a third layer that combines all the different blending modes and is merged (you can now discard the other layers as you wish)

[forest kestrel]

Thanks for the input 🙂 I tried tab/f but I don't recognize that it does what it used to. It might be some changes on my end I have to look into. Had in mind it was related to the last update.

[tame cape]

Could you please show us a small section?

[rare dune]

my photoshop just crashed

I was expecting it to do so for a long time

[terse mason]

i think that might be considered electronic torture 💀

[terse mason]

What are we looking at

I am not 100% sure

but it is some kind of heat map

[terse mason]

Whattt you’re not sure???

[sharp oxide]

should i submit this as a bug at this point? idk why it's never applied as "current channel"....

[terse mason]

Did you try changing the channel in the levels tab?

[river otter]

Hey guys I am new here, can I submit a question with a short video to illustrate it, in this channel? I'm having a little issue with the Save For Web thing on PS 2020

[terse mason]

Yeah

[sharp oxide]

yeah, gray is the only option. i didn't have this issue in 2024 and it only started after updating to 2025

[terse mason]

Honestly in my opinion 2025 is terrible

I couldnt go 5 minutes without a bug

I think its better if you reverted back to 2024

[sharp oxide]

maybe...

[river otter]

I'm basically having this little issue where when I try to export my GIF, it's slowed, as you can see in the video, before clicking; save for web
the GIF plays normally, but once I'm in the window to export it, it slows down, even when the speed is at 100%.
I didn't have this issue before, it happened overnight and I tried restoring default settings on PS but it didn't change anything
I hope this video is enough to illustrate what I'm saying

[terse mason]

@river otter this might help

[tame cape]

My honest opinion?
Before I have to work with such a ‘pixel monster’, I would think about Illustrator as an alternative ...

[tame cape]

@sharp oxide
... but you are working in grayscale mode. There are no other channels ...

[sharp oxide]

tbh my issue isn't really about the grayscale mode but about this

which i'm pretty sure is why my actions fail each time

actions used to register it as "current channel" but now it's only "gray channel" or "composite channel" which is not what i want

[rare dune]

good idea but my input data was a bitmap (png) not eps or svg

[silver garden]

how can i get this kind of text warping? none of the warp presets seem to get the effect with it being flat on top and warped at the bottom

[terse mason]

Have you tried arc lower preset and changing the bend value?

[silver garden]

in photoshop it would still bend the top slightly but i managed to get it to work in illustrator

[half canopy]

Believe me, there’s plenty of whack(er) companies than Adobe out there. Anyways, what happened?

[dusk lagoon]

youll figure it out eventually pal

[dusk lagoon]

My job pays for it for me

[river otter]

Hello! How can I create a similar effect to this?

[half canopy]

Okay but what happened like what caused you to say this? You said the software is unusable. Why/how? Not trying to be antagonistic or anything; genuinely asking the question

[amber dust]

hello, how can I paint this one using this image?

I really want to use clone stamp but it takes a lot of time, any ideas?

[dusk lagoon]

I'd say take a step back and completely redo the UVs on that model. Was this auto-unwrapped? If you show me the model, I can draw over it to show you where you need to cut

[amber dust]

it is auto unwrapped

[dusk lagoon]

Yeah I can tell haha, auto-unwrap is awful. Youre gonna want custom UVs

you can send me the model too

[dusk lagoon]

copy paste your photos into this arrangement, slight lens or gaussian blur, BW filter or adjustment layer

[amber dust]

can I send it thru dm?

[rocky belfry]

how can I add the light dot , like the second picture ?

[dusk lagoon]

You can get somewhat? of a similar look by using a small splatter brush (or a normal brush and using the dissolve blend mode and lowering opacity) and a small bit of outer glow? I'm sure it can look better if you fiddle with it a bit

splatter brush if anyone wants

[rocky belfry]

look very nice , I will try thanks very much

[lofty trout]

anyone know what font this could be and how i can add these lines/dots on the edges

[limpid kiln]

Did you try searching in the internet through sites that identify fonts on images?

[lofty trout]

yes i did but no luck.

im not sure what the name for that outline is called.

[limpid kiln]

I just looked it up as well, but haven't find it

looks bubbly to me

[lofty trout]

do you think those lines on the border is associated with the font or is it a shadow etc?

[limpid kiln]

maybe it could be under such categories somewhere

wdym

[lofty trout]

best i can do to describe what i mean

[limpid kiln]

I think it's the font

[lofty trout]

oh wow

i found it

[limpid kiln]

oh, it really is called bubble lol

looks a bit different though

but the lines are there

[lofty trout]

yea, it is a bit different

[snow elk]

hey, is there a trick to divide ring into squares? like they did in this image, I created 2 circles, 70 cm and 65 cm, and I want to fill the gap between them with squares

[vapid flume]

No it's a different company. (maxon, makers of Cinema 4D)

[vapid flume]

Not in a straighforward manner as you would in Illustrator.
Depending if you want to do it in vector or raster, it could be a bit long to do in Photoshop
But basically, you need to create your different circles, create a line at 0 degrees, and divide 360 by the number of squares per each circle you need

[snow elk]

should I use illustrator instead? I don't have any experience with it

[vapid flume]

then copy and paste in place, rotate by the amount you found in the division, and rince and repeat with the repat ttransform command

[vapid flume]

I would personally use illustrator, but if you need to learn it first it could take a bit of time. It's a bit different than Photoshop

[snow elk]

I'll give it a shot

[vapid flume]

In photoshop, use the "transform again" to repeat the transformation multiple times

[snow elk]

silly me transformed 40 squares yesterday by hand xD

[vapid flume]

Live and learn, there is a silver lining!

Someone once teach me in reddit to use a "gradient" map but when i tried using it, it doesnt look right

Oh, alrightyy!

[vapid flume]

There are plenty of ways to create that sort of things, maybe that will help!

[snow elk]

created in 1 second what took me 2 hours yesterday 😮 now I just need to understand how to fill the gap between the rings, tyvm

[viral palm]

To add something what @vapid flume said you also can try treshold technique shown here: https://youtu.be/TcRTL4Emm54?si=Yo1h47hGwdMJ1pHO

[vapid flume]

Yes, there are things Photoshop is very good at and things better handled with a proper vector software. Photoshop has some serious limitations for that kind of things

[viral palm]

If you use shape building tool you shouldn’t have any gap…

[vapid flume]

To fill the gaps try the "live paint" tool - check the help files. It will save your life 🙂 )

Or as @viral palm said, use the Shape building tool to remove those gaps

Another life saver!

[snow elk]

oh well I'll try them both 😄

hmm the idea is to fill the gaps with squares, like tiles, shape tool seems to be more use of lines removal?

[vapid flume]

If you don't need to remove the gaps then use the Live paint tool to fill those without having to select the squares individually. It takes a bit of practice if you need to use more than one colour, changing them with the arrow keys but it's very fast once you are set

Don't forget there is an Illustrator server as well for more in-depth answers

[snow elk]

oh I thought it's the same one, tyvm ! ill the the live paint

i want to make a cube shaped diorama consisting of two background sides and a floor.
i have an image which is split into background and floor

i tried using perspective warp but couldnt understand where to place and how to pull.

could someone maybe help?
is that even possible or will it just result in a mess?

Im brand new to photoshop, how do I start making custom discord emojis with good quality

[vapid flume]

Can you send an image that is "readable" by Discord? I don't even know what this file format is 🙂

People tend to not download things nilly willy (and I would suggest people don't do it, as a safety measure)

[vapid flume]

I am not sure I understand it all, but just a thought.
I am not one to generally suggest another software when it can be done with photoshop, but have you considered using a 3D software (even a simpler one like Dimension), You'll be sure to have the correct perspective

Otherwise, within Photoshop, you can try the vansihing point feature
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5aMceFycN4
it gives accurate perspective when used correctly

ty tho

[viral palm]

Do you have a creative account and an active subsciption?

[viral palm]

Is your internet connection stable?

[lunar belfry]

yah internet is good

got 1 gig

[viral palm]

So it works intermittenly?

[lunar belfry]

yah, i resterted PS a few times

made sure CC was open

randomly started working

[sly hawk]

Are you literally trying to PRINT the floor and walls for a diorama? - If so, you don't need worry about perspective. Print them flat 🙂

---

I assume I must be missing something, since that's common sense 🙂

[hybrid relic]

yeah thats what i am trying

[hybrid relic]

the floor is just too big?
i guess this was a bad visualization but basically
my floor (digital image) is double the size of my actual floor (diorama)

so i thought i can fold or shrink it somehow with photoshop that the two connecting sides still make sense

[sly hawk]

Can you share any visuals?

[viral palm]

Are you running the last Photoshop version? If not try to update… I saw some post on the web where an update fixed the problem. Worth a try.

[sly hawk]

oh I think I'm getting it... It's clearly not a simple 'floorbords' type texture

[lunar belfry]

yee saw that one as well, it was/is up to date however

[hybrid relic]

yeah its connected to the rest

[sly hawk]

You can't simply 'bend and fold' since the floor would fold over itself...

[hybrid relic]

right

that was my problem

so i thought this would be an easy process but its breaking me:)

[sly hawk]

I feel like it would be the opposite?

....no... that's not right either 🙂

How complicated is the floor texture?

[hybrid relic]

not too complicated, just a dirt road

[sly hawk]

God. It's broken me! 🙂

There are overly complicated ways where you can 3D render it in blender and then "unwrap" it to a 2D view, creating a template you can print. - but that feels waaay overkill for something that feels like it should be easy!

[storm path]

[storm path]

Any answers to this?

[wind wing]

how do I make it so the text in a screenshot is always centered in the middle? like this

[viral palm]

Bicubic Smoother is announced as "Best for enlargement"... But Iwould suggest you to try out the other ones and choose the one which gives you the better result. Algorithms used may give different results from those they are supposed to provide...

[hybrid relic]

i think this kind of.... worked (quality is very bad but for now a step forward)
transform then distort and moved bottom part to the outside until it said roughly 45°

[viral palm]

I don't think magnetic lasso helps... If you made a selection you loose the "Remove backgound" option in contextual task bar...
But you can change your Image processing option to "cloud" processing (Preferences>Image processing) =>This option should improve your remove background result.
Note : The results of "Remove Background" are always highly dependent on the quality of the image you are trying to process.

[molten solar]

I'm late to this party, but I think you're overcomplicating things. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you have an image in which the floor that shows a strong perspective distortion from the camera viewpoint, and you want to remove the distortion so you can print it and have it align with the two walls. Is that a decent summary? If so, cut and paste the floor to a new document, make it a Smart Object, drag in some vertical horizontal guides, and use Free Transform to pull the corners of the image (Cmd/Ctrl+Drag) so that the floorboards (or whatever) align with the guides. You can print that, and it will work with the verticals.

If I got you completely wrong, let me know! I'll try to come up with something more useful.

[hybrid relic]

i think that summary sounds good yes.
i will try this and give an update
thank you

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @molten solar (current: #363 - 4)

sorry i didnt really understand.

Go to the helpx page for "Free Transform" and check out the different things you can do with it. I'm on a conference call right now, but I can pick this up in a couple of hours if you're still stuck.

Guys, help me. I have two layers, one layer is texture, the second layer is drawing.

I need to save a drawing with this overlay effect.

Have you tried using clipping masks? In the layer panel hold alt and click between the base layer and overlay layer. This should make the overlay layer apply only to the layer it is clipped to instead of the whole image. There is a keyboard shortcut too, ctrl+alt+G
