[ripe quest]

Maybe Adobe's TIFF filter is jacked up. Could be a bug. Difficult to know.

[patent wolf]

Its weird that windows can read it correctly

[ripe quest]

Windows is so 1997 too! :D

[patent wolf]

Right

[ripe quest]

If Microsoft had their way, we'd still be using BMP files. :D

[patent wolf]

I need this project done soon, atleast after effects is coming in clutch

[ripe quest]

Good luck!

[patent wolf]

Thanks 😄

[ripe quest]

Are we sure the alpha channel isn't there though? Like have you looked at the Channels Panel for one of the TIFFs? Just as a sanity check?

[patent wolf]

Channels Panel in photoshop?

[ripe quest]

Window > Channels...

[ripe quest]

OK. Straight up ain't there.

[patent wolf]

Lol

Maybe a plugin that reads it better?

Mhmm

Maybe this could fix it

Never heard of it but who knows.

[sonic leaf]

yo im tryna figure this out

im tryna use the halfton pattern in filter gallery but whenever i use it, it just turns white

[tired sail]

Anyone knows how to recreate this background?

[ripe quest]

What color is the silhouette to begin with?

[sonic leaf]

it has a threshold on it

[ripe quest]

There are multiple elements in there. Its not going to be some "simple" explanation.

[sonic leaf]

and its supposed to be something like this

[tired sail]

Im just trying to figure out how to do the bottom blue bit.

[sonic leaf]

the circle at the bottom?

behind the bike?

[tired sail]

This

[tired sail]

yeah semi circle

[ripe quest]

Draw Vector Shape > Ellipse Tool. Assign a Gradient to it.

[sonic leaf]

yea that

[sonic leaf]

did u ever figure this out ? @ripe quest

[ripe quest]

This doesn't have a halftone applied. It just looks like Posterization or a Threshold adjustment.

[sonic leaf]

it does

[tired sail]

AhHhh okay thanks

[ripe quest]

Convert your Redeemer Layer to a Smart Object. Then try to apply the Halftone to it.

[sonic leaf]

it kinda worked

[ripe quest]

You could try Filter > Pixelate > Color Halftone...

[ripe quest]

I think you're going to need a larger image though. I had to really blow this up to make the halftone visible.

[sonic leaf]

alr holup

[ripe quest]

Also, its not great detail so its going to suffer a bit there too.

[faint swallow]

Hey guys! Does anybody know how to recreate this effect in illustator?

[ripe quest]

You might want to ask in the Adobe Illustrator Discord: https://www.discord.gg/adobeillustrator

[faint swallow]

i finally found a plugin, thank you so much tho

[hushed niche]

What are your foreground and background colors? It is not visible on the screenshot?

What are the other options available under format?

[hushed niche]

I think that Adobe follows too closely the specs of the tiff file, as it is a format they created…

[hushed niche]

Ok, that is the bit depth… no options for alpha channel? Please show a capture of the entire menu.

[patent wolf]

Nope!

There seems to be a tiff+alpha option: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-shading-lighting-and/help-with-alpha-channel-using-tif-fin-maya/td-p/7669241

[long linden]

I was wondering how I could get rid of these white outline on the palm tree thanks

[vapid flume]

Since it seems to be just a silhouette, I would fill the shape with black
Try with the layer styles > Colour overlay.
Of course the result depends on how you got there first

[tired sail]

Anyone has any tips on how to improve this poster?

[vapid flume]

You will need to ask in #📝project-feedback

I'll start with the text though. We can't see what's written at all!

you need to write that weblink with a better contrast

[tired sail]

Yeah i was thinking about that too, but i didnt know what colour to make it

[vapid flume]

You don't have to change the colour necessarily. Contrast is about the difference in tone between the foreground and the background. So you may have to change the background.
I don't know what this background is, and why there is crumbled paper here (I understand it looks nice, but what does it means beyond being nice? In that context?)
The simple thing you can do is to create a stroke around your black text (search for layer styles in the help files) so the black parts of your background will be hidden by a white stroke

I would also rethink the font. It's very condensed is not particularly readable

[tired sail]

What background would you say to try and use ?(what style ?)

[vapid flume]

1st ask yourself the question what is it for?
What audience, who will read it?
I cannot make those decisions for you, but you should ask yourself why each element in your design is there, and does it make sense for people who see it.
Those questions are useless if you're making a work of art, but if your end goal is making a design for others to see it and act on it (say, for example, visit the website) then you need to think about those people.
It's not about what looks nice (that is your opinion alone), but what others see.

I know nothing about bikes, but the little I know I will say that crumbled paper makes not much sense here. But obviously I am not your audience, so go with what makes sense to the people who will read this poster

[tired sail]

Ok I understand thank you

[river otter]

Sorry for the late reply, thx the small vid. The thing is, you did the editing using an image, I want to be able to edit my text directly. If I could convert the text to image, then back to text that would be a different story. I somewhat managed to make it look the way I wanted to but it's not really optimal

Does anyone know why this error pops up when I want to use the generate fill tool?

[ripe quest]

Then you should've explained how it was set up. I was going on the info that I had. Also, if you have that graphic a as font or vector graphic, then it should be simple to manipulate.

[ripe quest]

Are you signed in to your Adobe Account? What sort of Layer is it? Feel free to share the entire screen so the Layers Panel is visible.

[serene beacon]

Could be a feature that can't run due to your computer below required specifications. Could be wrong though, so if anybody has a different solution that fixes this should correct me.

[ripe quest]

I was able to write a TIFF with an alpha from Photoshop and then load it back into Ps. Also, double-checked in Windows Photos and both seemed to work. I don't have Maya to test so I can't be of help there.

[ripe quest]

Generative Fill runs in the cloud. Data is sent to Adobe, they process the pixels and send it back. So they either aren't signed in to an Adobe Account, were not connected to the internet when they tried to use the feature or maybe their firewall or VPN is causing some issue.

[warm crater]

surely there must be another way

[spice vortex]

you can find tshirt mockups and templates online and they usually come with various layers so that you can embedd your graphics easily

[twin chasm]

They're flooded on the internet these days. People used to make a lot of money creating nice mockups templates and it was never easy work. Rip, but hey man get with AI or fall behind. I feel for people but I can't get with the mindset to be stuck in an old way

[tame cape]

Please show something. Maybe a picture and your structure in the Layers panel.

can you feed ps images so that it generates somewhat similar AI results while also taking into account the overall image style, texture, lighting and so on ?

Hi! How can I achieve this camera FNAF style-static?

[serene coral]

huh? clipping does exactly the thing you want. unless you want something else?

[serene coral]

yes, you can also do it directly with the Firefly

I think they want the sky replacement to modify the appearance of the stadium too.

The best I could guess.

I'll let somebody else deliver the bad news.

[trail viper]

I need help with fixing this image...its super over exposed

i tried just lowering the exposure/brightness and other adjustment tools but you see those bright blotches on their faces

[viral palm]

I took 6 sample points to explain why you won't be able to save this image... There too many burnt areas on faces... Low S values (saturation) + High B Values (Brightness) = White....

[ripe quest]

You may want to adjust each person individually...

There are spots that are just too washed out though. There is no detail there to recover.

[trail viper]

i figured that this couldn't be saved...too much exposure

im not sure whoever took the photos didnt adjust their own camera settings lol

thank you a lot though guys

[vapid flume]

Maybe they didn't master this particular camera?
If you take photos in Jpegs the tone range can be extremely narrow, meaning that one bad step and you're doomed. That's why most people who know a bit about their camera whioll shoot in what is called Raw, meaning direct from the camera. The sensor on most recent camera have a tone range that is way broader than what a standard JPEG can cover, meaning that you can correct an over exposition by an "under exposure" in post production

On a jpeg, what you see is what you get

Of course, even Raw files have a limit, but you generally can recover things

[hushed moth]

Hi … I want ask about the mockup,, why photoshop don't have mockup like illustrator,, esay

[vapid flume]

Good question, but I doubt you will get an answer here, unless someone from the Adobe dev team turns up!

Most people will create their mock ups in Photoshop with smart objects and stuff (in the case of fabrics etc) the result is way better in Photoshop if you use the "blend if" features and displacement maps

Those in illustrator work well for hard surfaces, but for soft ones, I'd rather stay in Photoshop!

But you're right, that would be a very cool addition

you can add your vote here! #1093156942647660615

[hushed moth]

really I have problem with photoshop mockup,, I saw many videos in YouTube and tray to make like video but dos not work, there is something Ronge with me

[vapid flume]

Keep in mind this, I am used to making mock ups for clients and I can tell you most tutorials are crap

I say that because most of them explain things in - like - 5 minutes. A good, accurate, well lit mock up takes time.

I tend to do mine with a mixture of 2D and 3D and the thing is even something really "simple" like a paint can where you have to put many labels on can take up to 1 hour if you start from scratch. Most people don't want to spend that, and people who create tutorials know it. Hence the "make a mock up in 5 minutes" BS

So it's not necessarily your fault, you need to find tutorials that explain things, in details, and take the right time to do it

The best advice I can give you is reverse-engineering

Find a good, already done, mock up (so depends on the style you want), if you have to buy one, do it, and then open it and dissect how it works.

That's how I learned

[hushed moth]

I design the visual identity of the logo, Pattern, decorations and logos, and I do not know how to apply it to the mockup in Photoshop to make it realistic and approved by the customer.
The problem of the illustrator is limited in models and does not have the property of adding materials.

[vapid flume]

Have you tried to do that witha mock up that has already been created?
What kind of products do you need your logos on?

[hushed moth]

Yes, I applied it in the Isellator.
Medical clinic specializing in kidney and urology surgery

[vapid flume]

Yes, that's quite a niche thing.

Not sure you can ind one specically for this (whatever that is!)

[hushed moth]

How does it look like?

[vapid flume]

I generally don't download things 🙂
I had a look with the number

They're not really realistic aren't they?

You can find some directly in Photoshop
Go to file > New and search in "print"

THese are Photographic source, and that's what we call a real mock up

UNless you don't want it realistic

Test this one from Adobe stock: It's free

https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/set-of-items-for-branding-on-grey-background/239458609

But these aren't real mock ups. They are photos you can use to create your own mock ups

[fierce mortar]

can someone make a photo of a pufferfish with the Chinese hat thing

[vapid flume]

[opaque vector]

Hey, need some quick help, what are these types of images/the "filter" called? And how do you make them?

I've used to do this a long time ago but I completely forgot how to, it feels so simple but I'm blanking hard right now

[vapid flume]

This is a template @hushed moth

so it comes as a Photoshop file, in this case PSDT (T stands for template)
https://stock.adobe.com/uk/templates/stationery-branding-scene-mockup/119308515

[vapid flume]

Looks like something drawn with the pen tool (looks like vector paths)
As to what they are called, I have no idea. When you drop it to Google images, what are the kind of results that you get? (or you can do that with Pinterest as well)

"vinyl decal" comes up a lot

[opaque vector]

Google Images isn't any help, trying to search for this just gives me suggestions of different ideas with the name of the actual depiction in the art. I may have done in Illustrator? It has been so long since I used creative cloud I completely forgot everything

[vapid flume]

Yes, illustrator seems like the natural contender

[opaque vector]

I do vividly remember being able to put any simple image in and pressing a button to transform it into that

Can't for the life of me remember the name tho.

[vapid flume]

Oh Ok, so it's in Illustrator and it's the auto trace feature

[opaque vector]

[vapid tangle]

Hey, I was hoping to learn a bit about filters in Photoshop. I'm happy with my picture, but I want to mask some areas I couldn't get quite right like my hair behind a filter. I’d also like to hide my identity a bit more.

I found a filter I liked called Halftone Pattern under Sketch. It looks great, but my issue is that the contrast is too low, which becomes especially noticeable in a smaller profile picture.

I'm not entirely new to Photoshop, but I am new to its filters (I've only ever used Insta and Snow), so I might be missing something basic.

Does anyone know how I can make the darker colors a bit more dark for more of a contrast?

I apologize if this isn't the right area, I'm totally new to the server.

[ripe quest]

You could quickly add a Levels Adjustment...

[spice vortex]

Do you have a reference or inspiration as to what you would want it to sort of look like? My first thought is using levels to "crush" your image a bit

[stoic mirage]

I have a stroke on this text, and I'm wondering if I can make it less blocky/straight edged

I want to have it completely smooth like a bubble

[near knot]

im interested in the background of this image how would i make the wave effect in this?

[river otter]

how could i imitate the text circled where its like looking up if somebody understands me its not just straight its like tilted upwards

[frozen magnet]

would you guys reckon the dark yellow color that drops below LA GARDE is a font or an effect?

[vapid flume]

It looks simply like the copied text, on a layer benaeth the main one, and offset by a few pixles on the right and bottom

And there is a drop shadow on that one too

Wait, I see connections, so maybe it's more like I said above, but with a blend effect in Illustrator. In any case I don't think it's the font (However you can never be sure, as you can create a font based on those effects anyway).

[vapid flume]

You can type the text and use either the perpective transform, (edit>transform>perspective transform) or use a filter called "vanishing point", which is a little more tricky to work on, and works better when you have a surface to guide you.

I include this tutorial anyway
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5aMceFycN4

[vapid flume]

It could be different things, simple raster shapes that have been distorted with the smudge tool (with "finger painting " on), or it could be the same shapes distorted with a filter (for example "waves" or similar)

All these filters could work, combined...

[tame cape]

[ripe quest]

You're using an old version of Photoshop and Adobe Camera Raw.

[river otter]

ohhh

so just update it then?

sorry i probs should have done that first

[ripe quest]

Probably some combination of painting, Clone Stamp and the Remove Tool

[tame cape]

Can you please show the unedited picture? (Manipulations on already edited images are usually more difficult)

[viral palm]

FOr the exit sign I would suggest you to use Generative fill to avoid the big dark blob.
For Red reflection you can use a hue and saturation Adjustment layer then target the Reds > reduce saturation.
For better result you'll have to reduce Magentas too then mask the adjustment layer to bring back Reds where you want.

Yo guys.

I'm trying to do a compositing for merging these two image (the mask on the second image to the face of the girl in the 2nd image).

I tryed this but as you can see it's not realistic. Do someone know what's missing ?

[fierce hornet]

you have to fix the shadow and cutout

you can also use firefly to fix the issue.

[hollow urchin]

the shadow under the mask ? or create a shadow on it ?

[fierce hornet]

under the mask

[hollow urchin]

Yeah that's better right now, but even it's not really realistic

[viral palm]

Two biggest problems I see and that are easy to fix:
1- Your mask is too bright when you compare with the model picture> you can fix with Curves adjustment layer.
2- Realistic cast and drop shadows must be added to sell the realism...

You can download some free premade bokeh brushes on the internet like these below https://www.brusheezy.com/brushes/40450-24-abstract-bokeh-brushes

Think @ripe quest already replied you in chat general... Please avoid posting the same question in several channels

[viral palm]

You should distort the mask a bit. Turn your mask layer in smart object then use "transform/warp" or "Filter/Liquify" to sell the effect ... Hard to make a clear video without the layered file... The idea is to distort the mask to let it follow the shape of the face.

so the photo is black and white but the text on the shirt is red or the earings or how some parts of the photo are actually colored

You can create a blank layer over the Black and White one the paint with color on it.
If you want the color to be applied over whites only set the blend mode of the layer where you're painting on to "Multiply".

I am not really sure where to introduce myself but I work on Mesh clothing design for avatars where I sometimes use substance but I also love to stay with Photoshop as it has been my friend for a long time. I am just a tad puzzled with a technique.

[still flame]

Hi there, I'm new to Photoshop, and the version I have is the newest but the digital artists use another version, but I don't know which version it is. I bought a course for digital art but I can't follow the tutorials because I don't have the same version 🥲

[atomic gull]

Hello, how do I fix this?

[formal sun]

Find the missing font online

Minecraft is pretty popular so the font shouldn't be too difficult to find

Or, if the original font is not that important, replace the text

[formal sun]

I believe this channel is more meant for technical questions related to using Photoshop.

[formal sun]

Actually you can still use the newer Photoshop and save under a compatible format so it can still be read in the older Photoshop.
Otherwise, find out which version they use and find a copy.
Or, use tutorials and videos online to find your own way, it isn't that difficult. It is a matter of doing.

I also have a question

Exporting in svg vector graphics in illustrator ruins alignments

I'd like to find out more about the cause of this issue

I have no idea what's causing it

[river otter]

Are you sure it is Photoshop, and not Fresco? Fresco is more commonly used for digital art.

[river otter]

No, it is used for all questions related to Photoshop.

I uploaded the 2023 version because, according to Copilot, that's the version artists use, but there are more versions like 2023.01, etc. And it wasn't exactly the same version so I'll try until I get the right version XD, also I already asked in the tutorials but the probability of getting an answer is low anyway thank you so much for your tips 🫶

Copilot doesn't have any way to know what version of Photoshop that most people use. Different people will have any number of different versions installed.

Some people are still running CS6.

People with active subscriptions usually run the latest versions or near to the latest versions. Some of us run both the General Release and the Beta. heh

The Creative Cloud app will let you install older versions of Photoshop, back to 22.2.

I'm not sure that's a wise move but whatever you wanna do.

[river otter]

You will, however, find that some of the snazzy new features aren’t in the old versions of course.

[ripe quest]

You're only allowed to install minor versions in the 25.x-26.x series. or 22.2 which was the final release that still had the old 3D tools.

So I'm not sure how old of an install you're wanting but be aware that certain versions might not be available.

I want to focus on digital art for now but for editing pictures I know the newest versions are the best

[river otter]

For digital art, Fresco is the way to go. You can do both vector and raster illustrations, cool effects, and It’s also not too far from the Photoshop experience. You can also do animation, and it's FREE!

[atomic gull]

How do I like put the font into photoshop that I downloaded?

[river otter]

Did you find the font on Adobe fonts, or is it a font file you have on your computer?

[atomic gull]

Font file on my computer

[river otter]

Are you on PC or Mac?

[atomic gull]

PC

[river otter]

Ok, open the file

[atomic gull]

ok

[river otter]

there should be a button in one of the bottom corners that says “install font” or something similar.

[atomic gull]

Pressed install

[river otter]

Perfect

It should be good to go now. If not, you may have to close and reopen Photoshop.

[atomic gull]

It worked thank you!

[ripe quest]

Fonts are either installed in Windows directly or via Adobe Fonts (using the Creative Cloud app or their website fonts.adobe.com).

If you downloaded some font to your computer, you can just right-click on the font file and choose "Install for all users"

Generally, you just need to restart the app if its open. Sometimes you need to reboot Windows.

[river otter]

Sometimes, it will just go right on smoothly and you won’t have to reboot anything.

It varies.

When is the live co editing private beta gonna be a public beta ?

[orchid charm]

What's the best way to go about applying wear and tear / a grime overlay to this text?

[formal sun]

I'd recommend masking and create the effects in another layer for easy editing

[orchid charm]

yuh, that was the plan. Should I be using another image for it though? Or like a type of font? Just wanted some alternative ways

[formal sun]

It really depends on the goals for your project. Will you print the final result or use it digitally? For printing you need a high resolution pixel image or vector shape preferably. For vector graphics illustrator would be more appropriate.

(fonts actually are vector graphics in most cases)

[orchid charm]

Digitally, as a decal in Source

[formal sun]

Photoshop should be sufficient for this.

[tranquil merlin]

how do I see images outside the canvas?

'reveal all' does nothing

[vapid flume]

Are you on an artboard? I could tell if you show me the layers panel

[vapid flume]

The best thing is if you could show the whole window

[tranquil merlin]

ill ss the whole thing

[vapid flume]

You are in an artboard 🙂

[tranquil merlin]

:0

[vapid flume]

Reveal all does not work on artboard, if you want to reaveal what's outside an artboard you need to increase the size of the artboard , in the properties panel

[tranquil merlin]

so is there no way to having images to the side of the artbaord without increasing it?

[vapid flume]

No, not in Photoshop. Photoshop doesn't have a paste board like Illustrator does (unfortunately)

[tranquil merlin]

;,(

thank you anyway

[vapid flume]

No worries. You need to decide if you neally need to work with artboards. If not, maybe they aren't worth the trouble?

It's absolutely not manadatory. I rarely work with artboard, unless I need to craete multiple documents within the same file, which is not very often

[tranquil merlin]

i saw some tutorial show that i needed to do an artboard to do something else to show the images off the canvas butit just didnt work

[vapid flume]

This is typically how you would use artboards
as in here I have 3 artboards, that I will export as 3 different PNGs

That said, maybe there is a way to make the outside visible (if only dimmed?)

Let me check that for you. Have you checked the help files?

[tranquil merlin]

I have not

[forest comet]

When I use CROP it makes it blurry.. is this a bug?

[vapid flume]

OK, when you use "reveal all" did you highlighted the relevant artboard?
I am asking as apparently it should work, but not when the artboard isn't highlighted

[tranquil merlin]

sorry i got rid of that save

ive just started again

doin geach image individually

[vapid flume]

I'm checking that one

[tranquil merlin]

thank you for the help though

much appreciated

[vapid flume]

NO worries.
Drop it it looks like it used to work in the past, but not anymore. Maybe your tutorial is an old one?
https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/how-to-make-objects-outside-the-canvas-visible-in-photoshop/td-p/3134102
Check that one

Tutorials older than say 3 years should be taken with a grain of salt, particularly if they focus on features as opposite to workflows

[vapid flume]

It depends if you use crop and change the size or just crop.
Can you clarify how do you crop as well as if you're changing the size as well? (a screenshot of the whole interface will do)

[forest comet]

I uste the crop tool to adjust the size of the canvast to match the art but then it gets blurry and small

[vapid flume]

By using this fields, you indicate that you want to change the size. If you don't want that, you need to delete what's inside

Do you just want to remove the transparent pixels? If so, just use "image">"trim"
it's quicker! 🙂

how do i make a white on a picture 0% opacity its black and white picture

[viral palm]

Using Blending opition/Blend if seems to be thr easiest way for me. Here is quick video to illustrate my words.

[ripe quest]

Please don't post the same question multiple times/in multiple channels.

[buoyant grail]

sorry bout that

[stable reef]

Is there a way to get the transparent pixels to a solid colour?

[viral palm]

What do you mean by transparent pixels? Partially transparent pixels I suppose... Like dark blue pixels on your image are "aqua blue" with a low opacity... Am I right

[stable reef]

Yes

[viral palm]

hum... Not an easy one... Could you share the layer you want to "recolor" in png format?

[stable reef]

I have 27 of them that needs doing

[river otter]

hey what tool would you recommend to make the eyes appear naturally more happy as if someone is smiling ? So far I've used lasso tool combined with Pupped Warp, Liquify tool, Neural Filters. Even tried generative fill with only the prompt, or by using strokes, reference images by overlapping them and dimming the opacity. None of it gives a real satisfying result.

[viral palm]

Understood... I just asked to help us find a way to do what you want... 1 is enough.
If we find a way to proceed you'll just have to repeat the steps for the others...

[viral palm]

Did you try to use "Neural filter/ Smart Protrait"?

[viral palm]

You want the whole design the same solid color?

[stable reef]

Not really, i print on to clothing and my printer doesn't understand transparent pixels so it prints a solid white instead, if i remove the transparent pixels than half the image is gone so not sure what i can do tbh

[river otter]

Yes, but it gives out a uncanny feeling tbh. I'd like my model to have fine lines too. Something like this but with eyes a bit more open as if he was excited/energized too

[ripe quest]

@broken pilot - Please don't DM people. If you have questions, you can ask them here.

[broken pilot]

okay, sorry

i’m willing to pay anyone who can make an edit in photoshop for me.

not a question but still

[ripe quest]

OK. Briefly describe the project/goals in #💬chat-general and if someone is interested in working on it, they will probably reach out to you.

[viral palm]

You can try this technique and see if it works for your application.

[stable reef]

Thanks, But i need to try keep the colour they have sent it in

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @viral palm (current: #9 - 692)

[viral palm]

Sorry, I can't find how to get what you want with this image...
Perhaps someone else here would find a way...

[stable reef]

No worries, appreciate you taking your time to try help at least

[river otter]

@viral palm just so you know I've tried a couple of online tools specifically made for altering the expressions and seems to work pretty well. Only the quality is a bit low

[sly hawk]

Can you not do something with a mask and and a threshold adjustment?

Even after reading the conversation I'm not that clear with what you want to achieve.

If you can please share a full image and the goal again, I'll try to help too.

[viral palm]

You also can combine Neural filter with the liquify filter/face aware liquify to tweak your result.
Notes: 1- change your layer to Smart Object before to get afterward control. 2- Avoid extreme settings to keep the result realistic...

[warm mantle]

Guys, can anyone experienced here help me out? It's very urgent and for a Media Studies project that I'm having issues editing.

I'm making a concept film poster and one of the characters is clipping through the trees in the background and I can't remove the shadow effect.

[cunning pilot]

When I scale up pixel art, before clicking done it looks like it is gonna stay the same sharpness as it was before but when I click done, it gets blurry. How do I make it look like it does before I click done after I scale it up?

[willow dawn]

Make a fragment shader that adds sharpness to screen image and it'll look sharp as knife😇

[warm mantle]

Sorry, by the way, here's an example of what I mean. You can see the portrait clipping through the trees.

[cunning pilot]

How do I do this 😂 😭 sorry!

[willow dawn]

1. Download minecraft
2. Make shaders
3. Apply your image to screen
4. Apply sharpness effect you made
5. Screenshot
6. Enjoy😇😇😊😊

[viral palm]

Not sure to understand... You want the trees to clip over the character shape only?

[cunning pilot]

lmao

[cunning pilot]

Does anyone actually know how to fix this though?

[river otter]

the thing I noticed is that I focused too much on the eye while completely forgetting about the other parts of the face and when someone smiles it changes alot ! I defenitely did try the first two tools you listed, smart object is a nice tip didn't think about it. Facial expressions aren't easy at all honestly

now i'm quit happy with the result i got

[warm mantle]

Haha, sorry for the lack of clarification. The whole character portrait is currently over the trees but since I faded some of it, the shadowing effect is still present. Is there any way to remove this effect?

[viral palm]

Happy to ear you've found a way to make things work for you!

[warm mantle]

Here's a comparative example without the character present. :)

So yeah, the character clipping behind the trees would probably be ideal.

[viral palm]

Looks like your character layer have a special blending mode (Multiply maybe...)... Am I right? If so try to set its blending mode to normal.

[warm mantle]

Yeah, I had it set to color burn as I thought the blend looked cool. Normal gives this result:

[viral palm]

I can see trees over the character so I presume your Character layer is below Trees and clouds in your layer panel.
Trying to understand, sorry for my dumb questions: You'd like to get a Solid Red and Black charater shape in front and Trees+Clouds in Background?

[warm mantle]

It's alright, editing is complicated aha. Yes, your assumption is correct! :)

And my trees are actually in the 'main background' layer.

[viral palm]

Can you share here the character you're using in png?

[warm mantle]

Yeah, the original image?

[viral palm]

Yes,
I could try to show you how I would tackle that

[warm mantle]

Can I send it in DM's? It's an image of a relative who was kind enough to help me lol.

[ember sorrel]

i have this image that i brought in from another window, and its like 4000 x 2000, but its really pixelated if i scale in? what can i do?

[warm mantle]

I don't wanna put them out on this server.

[viral palm]

Yep!

[warm mantle]

You need to temporarily accept my friend request, sorry! :)

[viral palm]

Ok could you also share a screen shot of the Whole Photoshop UI of the first image you've shared (Solid Red and black character with clipped trees)... Please be sure I can see the layer panel.
Do you want the face to be visible?

[warm mantle]

Yes, no worries! No, the face must not be visible. :)

One moment.

Do you want the whole image as well or just the layer panel?

[viral palm]

Just the layer panel it's ok but the one which gave you this...

[stable reef]

@sly hawk@viral palm I think i figured it out

[warm mantle]

I sent you it. :)

hi want to ask how i can make my illustrator more efficent because when i want to make some designs it randomly close and it happend every time

[viral palm]

Happy to hear that! Don't hesitate to share your solution

[sly hawk]

Your illustrator software keeps **crashing **when you're using it?

[stable reef]

Reversed/lowered the threshold, what ever was transparent it made it a sold colour

[livid hinge]

For example i got 2 files open and when i copy sth from one file to second one and just do 1 one move with that what i just copy my illustrator crashes

[river otter]

where it says outfit how do people make this transparent glow ive tried so many times and different ways and nothing is working

[sly hawk]

A glow is easy to add...

are you using the layer effects panel @river otter ?

[river otter]

not the glow but its transparent

[river otter]

yeah

[sly hawk]

Would you say that either of these are 'right'?

based on the effect you're going for?

If so, remember you can change the blend modes of both the fill AND the EFFECTS seperately.

[royal sedge]

Anyone know the best way to turn this flat sun image to an outline? (empty fill with green stroke around) tried magic wanding and filling but having some trouble

[wooden minnow]

If your only intention is to edit it and not preserve the signature itself and if this is a handwritten signature, you can use an OCR software to extract the text, then find a similar typeface and rewrite it

[river otter]

no i mean the way he is like warping it where he is moving the text upward on the right side

for realism

[wooden minnow]

Oh you can use the warp tool, perspective warp or puppet warp

[river otter]

ik i tried but it only worked for a certain spot

[river otter]

but ill try that i only tried regular warp

I'm not sure what u meant by "Merge"

[livid hinge]

Someone help?

[grizzled spade]

are both files .ai?

And are both files saved on the same version of the ai?

Also i think u could get better assistinance regarding this in Illustrator server

[livid hinge]

Yes

[grizzled spade]

Both were saved on the same version of ai?

Some files saved on an older version can be incompatible but still open in the newer version

but when u try to edit them they crash teh software

[river otter]

i mean as in a logo. in some way we can put m and monitor together into one object so that we can read the m as well as see the monitor. i want to put this in between a word and use that as a logo you know

the word smile

I want to replaced m here with this object which is a merged version of M and a computer monitor

[stiff trail]

Ooh wow you walked right into Adobe's business model :/

On the desktop it's simple, just save-as to a location of your choosing. On the mobile apps, I'm afraid I have no suggestion beyond turnin g off cloud sync, which is obviously going to push things to your Adobe account.

because i want to resize my canvas and snap the rotated, moved image at certain point of the canvas.

Its impossible for someone to help you unless you specify what it is you need help with. Ask specific questions here and if someone knows the answer(s), they will probably reply.

if someone can help me with it

i just need to have it ready for tomorrow

[ripe quest]

What do you mean by "help me with it" exactly?

You'll have to find or generate images to use with those existing images to create the composite.

[agile thicket]

what do u mean by this

my english its not the best sorry

[agile thicket]

i mean if like someone can do it for me

could help me with it

[ripe quest]

I doubt anyone is going to do this for you.

[agile thicket]

well asking it dosent hurt anybody right

This is channel is for people who are trying to learn how to use Photoshop. Its not for requesting that people do their work

are you listening to what im saying or not

i knwo what this channel is for but im asking for someone to do it for me cus i dont have time to learn it

i cant learn how to do it for tomorrow

i have a presantation tomorrow

so im askijng

[ripe quest]

Then perhaps you can pay someone to do it.

Get on Fiverr and hire a freelancer, perhaps.

[agile thicket]

ion have money why u beeing a jeark abt it

im just asking

if no one can help me they will not reply

thats all

no need to make it this big

im just askin for school

[ripe quest]

It doesn't matter "why" you're asking for free work. The server doesn't exist to fulfill project requests for people. You can post in #💬chat-general, briefly describe exactly what it is that you need. If someone is interested in working on this, they might reach out to you. But there are no guarantees.

Also, you can't SPAM the request there. Make your post and wait to see if anyone responds.

[agile thicket]

k

[ripe quest]

Furthermore, if you insult people, start with the name-calling, i.e. calling people a "jerk" for explaining how the server works, you won't be welcome here. I hope that is abundantly clear.

[ripe quest]

It would be relatively simple to create an image with the Firefly web service using that thing as a Composition Reference. Then bring both images to Photoshop and composite them.

[charred nova]

Hey sorry if this isn't the right chat, but I'm trying to help my dad design a stick for him and his friends' motorcycle club, but I can't seem to get the text like he wants it.
Is there a setting to make text get progressively smaller like this?

I'm kind of new to photoshop, and can't seem to figure this out sorry.

[ripe quest]

I would probably do this with Adobe Illustrator, tbh. Warping and Distorting text in Photoshop probably won't produce the result you're looking for. (I'm guessing)

This is distorting text in Photoshop...

Does firefly need money to use it?

[ripe quest]

The idea is that you would do it. Visit https://firefly.adobe.com and do the same thing I did.

[ripe quest]

You need an Adobe Account. You can use it for free on a limited basis. Like 25 image credits per day or something like that.

[agile thicket]

Thank u

[ripe quest]

After you sign in to your Adobe Account and visit the Firefly website, this is basically how you could get started...

Changing some of the words in the prompt might be more suitable to get the results you want. For example: "...with people in the background" or something like that.

[young prairie]

whenever i expand a circular selection, the circle becomes wonky. is there a better way to expand a circular selection?

[warm crater]

https://gyazo.com/efc6d22b65c9f3722555c01ddab216ca
how do i fix this?

[ivory prairie]

lel xd ppe btw

[sly hawk]

How are you 'expanding' it? I just tried and it expanded as I expected it to...

[sly hawk]

Fix? - You mean reset it?

Just pick a different gradient from the prebuilt ones...

[warm crater]

It gets stuck in the corner

i guess i can just reset it

[sly hawk]

you just have both opacities over the top of each other

just drag the top left ones to the right

[warm crater]

i have tried

it just keeps making infinite ones

[sly hawk]

drag them UP perhaps? to remove them?

[young prairie]

Select>Modify>Expand

[sly hawk]

( do you have your ALT key stuck down?)

or is 'sticky keys' turned on?

[warm crater]

No i dont ,dragging them up kinda worked
I can press shift as many times as i want so sticky keys is probably off

[sly hawk]

Umm... you 'create more' if you click and drag on an empty space.

[warm crater]

@sly hawk random question but since you are here ,would it possible somehow to make a wave to represent the growing wave length on an electromagnetic spectrum?

[warm crater]

ye

[sly hawk]

If you're clicking on the exisiting icon and it's not working, it sounds like more a bug than a user error.

[warm crater]

yeah

alr i can just reset it now so its all good

[young prairie]

Thats what I did at first, but then I made a fixed circle selection to try and get a perfect ring for the cutout but it doesnt want to become a perfect circle when expanding it

[sly hawk]

What like this?

[warm crater]

Yeah but a bit smoother yk

not such an increase

[sly hawk]

umm... - I'll have a think

[sly hawk]

If you're making a 'perfect circle' and then expanding it, then the expanded selection would be 'perfect' too...

[warm crater]

in that box ,if it helps

[sly hawk]

mmm... - what if you found a normal 'wavelength' and then manually stretched different sections of it?

You could always trace it later to get a better line

[warm crater]

how can i stretch it?

[young prairie]

thats what I thought too! but as you can see in my before and after images, the circles are a little wobbly, I can live without it but i was just wondering if there was a way to make the circles better

[sly hawk]

Perhaps like this?

[rustic sentinel]

Can someone help me in removing the dotted line passing through the signature?

or a tutorial or short video would be helpful

[sly hawk]

Maybe make a duplicate layer.... and then add a massive stroke to them and see what happens

[sly hawk]

Can't you manually erase/mask it?

[warm crater]

Yeah that seems to work ,im gonna try it later ,appreciate the help !

[sly hawk]

What's the end goal? - Signature looks a bit of a mess as it is?

Where is it being used?

[warm crater]

bro is probably forging signatures lmfao

[rustic sentinel]

This is $5 gig I got to extract the signature from the image the client has sent me. The image is very small

[young prairie]

last time i did this i just when in by hand, sometimes i get lucky and the pen color is different from the dotted line so i use color range

damn i was broke

[rustic sentinel]

I'm halfway through the process. And I achieved this using photopea.com as I do not have photoshop. If someone can remove the dotted line for me passing through the signature, that would be great

[sly hawk]

ah... on reflection... that looks rubbish!

[small light]

ive got a little bit of a bump in the road with this one. i need some way to add lighting to the characters face, arms and body, but i have no clue how to do it. The explosion is made out of lens flares, so there is color dodging going on, anyone got any tips?

[sly hawk]

Yeah, just use a mask to remove the darkness adjustment layer you added over the face

[small light]

im gonna need more detail on that explanation

even though ive been using this program for a while, explanations still confuse me lol

for more context here are the layers

[rustic sentinel]

Thanks James, can we make it a little less bold?

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sly hawk (current: #5 - 1096)

[sly hawk]

Yeah, take it back into photopea and change the 'Maximum' filter as seen here

[young prairie]

is there a way to make a selection in the center? whenever i try it takes it to the right

[sly hawk]

So here you can see that I've added that DARKNESS filter, like you must have... - you may have used a brightness adjustment or something

and then you basically just 'mask out' the bit you don't want as dark

[sly hawk]

yeah... move your mouse into the middle of the circle...

and then click and drag...

whilst you're still dragging, hold ALT.

The 'centre' will then move... to where you started 🙂
Hold SHIFT then too, and the circle will stay perfectly proportioned....

[rustic sentinel]

Thanks bro ❤️ Can you also tell by recording a short video like this one for how you removed the dotted line?

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sly hawk (current: #5 - 1097)

[small light]

thing is, the black isnt made from a filter, its done by the color dodge, so your suggestion doesnt really seem to do much.... or maybe im doing it wrong

without them as you can see the scene is very neutral in color

[sly hawk]

Probably much better ways, this is how I tried it...

[sly hawk]

Your subject is right at the bottom layer... - so everything above is effecting him

[warm crater]

damn ok

[warm crater]

so like , i got this png but i cant cut the wave

i wanna remove the background

i could do it manually i guess

[viral palm]

Set blending mode of this layer to multiply.

[warm crater]

where did all of this wisdom come from 🙏

[viral palm]

Photshop magic powers 😉

[warm crater]

🙏

[sly hawk]

Sorry, just seen the image

oh, you were happy with multiply blend mode. - Nice work @viral palm

[warm crater]

no worries ,appreciate the help from both 🙏

Omg just seen the image and i got the visible light spectrum wrong

its supposed to be violet on the left and red on the right

lmfao

[arctic spear]

why does my image look like this? Its a normal photo from facebook, should I change my color set? its a JPG

[viral palm]

It looks like a corrupted file or a graphics card issue.
Try to open your jpeg in an other app to see if it's ok.
Try to update your graphic card driver.

[ripe quest]

Open it in Windows Photos to double-check the file. Does it look the same?

[jovial geode]

What websites can I use for free to ps

[ripe quest]

Not sure what this question means. Photoshop requires a subscription.

[jovial geode]

Ok

Like can I do that in a website for free

My friend made that

[ripe quest]

Try Adobe Express. There is a free tier. Its like a universal design tool. https://express.adobe.com

[jovial geode]

Ok Ty

[torn condor]

If we will hunt realism and professionalism.
That would go like this.

Stop trying only to use distort.
Use "everything" to make it look realistic.

[solemn pivot]

That looks amazing, thank you so much. I'm going to challenge myself and try replicate it rather than use it. Fair play 😍

[hushed niche]

Just select the layer with the spectrum, hit ctrl+T for transform and put a minus before the W: value. Or go to edit>Transform>flip horizontal

[warm crater]

Ye no worries ,i fixed it already, just wanted to point out that i wouldnt have seen it was wrong if james didnt ping me again

[wispy nexus]

any idea how to clear those

lines

[sweet field]

Those are guides. You can press CTRL+H to hide them, or right click one of them, then press Clear Guides to delete them all.

[wispy nexus]

there's no such option

i tried ctrl+; and it worked

thanks @sweet field ❤️

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @sweet field (current: #23 - 99)

[sweet field]

You must have right clicked on the background outside the canvas, you'll have to hover over it until the mouse turns into the move icon then right click. But yes, you can simply hide them as well!

[wispy nexus]

oh you're right

thanks again @sweet field

❤️

[sweet field]

Glad to help ❤️

[tame cape]

Hi @warm crater
here is another good visualisation
https://www.wir-machen-druck.de/resized/media/farbspektrum_848X327.png

[arctic spear]

no, looks normal, my graphic card is perfect, I open other images without any problem, this exact image in other programs is fine too. Only in photoshop it looks like this

[warm crater]

Is there a way to make the colors smoother ,did you use a gradient?
Thanks for reminding me to add the nanometers ,at first i didnt want to make it complicated for the average viewer but adding the nm shouldnt be that complicated to understand now that i think about it again

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @tame cape (current: #18 - 131)

[arctic spear]

[hushed niche]

Hi! Which error does it give you?

[tame cape]

The image is from the website of a German printing company. You will find many similar ones on the web.
Yes, a gradient ensures a smooth transition of colours. Here is a quick and dirty reconstruction:

[ivory vale]

yoyo is anyone available that could help me with a fill in feature?

I am waiting in the community talk channel ❤️

[golden hornet]

I'm having trouble downloading the program

[ivory vale]

that would be very helpful!

[golden hornet]

Every time I attempt to download it through the web browser I am sent a link in my email, yet when I click that link it tells me to go to my email and resends me the link trapping me in a never ending loop

Does anyone know how to fix this?

[vapid flume]

Did you download the CC app? That's where you should start. Also don't use Opera as it's not giving you the right links

[golden hornet]

No, can't do that either. I am using opera though so that might be the core issue

[vapid flume]

When the CC app is downloaded, either the Photoshop download will start by itself, or you will download Photoshop directly in the CC app

Opera isn't supported. That is the issue

[warm crater]

send it here mate , a screenshot and we can help

[vapid flume]

Firefox, edge, Chrome all work OK

[vapid flume]

Most people are very reluctant speaking in the voice channel without knowing more about what you need

[ivory vale]

So i made this sketch of a logo and want to fill in the gaps. How can i do this without overdrawing the lines

[vapid flume]

Besides, it's a community server, knowledge is there to be shared!

[vapid flume]

How did you draw the logo? is it a vector file?

[ivory vale]

It was a vector and i used "fill in vector"

Not sure if thats the correct designation i am german so my program is german aswell haha

fill contour or sum

[vapid flume]

I can only tell you in English

[ivory vale]

its fine its fine i understand english! 😉

[vapid flume]

You can find the fill option there (also in the properties panel
It depends on how your shape is built as well, which we could see if you want to share a screenshot of the full interface, with the layers panel visible

[vapid flume]

These aren't vector shapes!

[ivory vale]

Oh noo and I am assuming i cant re-turn em into ones right?

haha

[vapid flume]

Vector shapes are built with thiese tools in Photoshop

[warm crater]

And why are vector shapes different from others?

[ivory vale]

Yeahh i made a vector and then i "filled contour"

[vapid flume]

Hwhich program did you use? Photoshop?

[ivory vale]

Yea

[fervent girder]

nothing specific info. jus sying 'encountered issue. try again'

[vapid flume]

Vector shapes are matematical shapes, they don't change their atrributes when they are enlarged or reduced, you can also change their attributes without affecting the quality, unline raster shapes, with are made with pixels

[ivory vale]

Ohh I see

[warm crater]

attributes like?

[vapid flume]

Logos are always made - professionally - with a vector program (and usually using Illustrator, although it's not mandatory)

[ivory vale]

So i should learn Illustrator i see

😄

[warm crater]

I used to make shapes with the rectangles and then warping
Started using the pen tool recently and its much easier and better

[vapid flume]

Colour, curvature, size, effects, distortions etc

[ivory vale]

Pen tool is one of the most important tools to learn i guess

[warm crater]

okay

[vapid flume]

Absolutely, it's something no pro would live without. Bith in Photoshop, but also in Illustrator, InDesign, anything that has to do with graphics

https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/file-types/image/comparison/raster-vs-vector.html

[ivory vale]

And when i have a vector shape like this? How can i fill it with a color or gradient and make a black contour around it?

So that I am still able to edit the inner color afterwards? Do I do that by turning it into a smart object?

Oh I did it

[fervent girder]

this you want to fill the shape! or jus need to xpand stroke.

[ivory vale]

Okay anyways thank you guys for helping

I gtg now

Have a good one! <33

[vapid flume]

Use the features I shown you in the screenshot I shared "fill" and "stroke", be sure you are in the "shape " option

There is an issue with the generative fill feature at the moment. I saw a major problem in the Adobe Status

[vapid flume]

No problem. You can subscribe to a few things on this website, and it will notify you when there is an issue.

[pliant comet]

1.) If I've an aestetic image, with breasts of a woman, posing aestetic (nothing with sex) and I cover the breast with filling it with a color and then I set an selection area there where I want use the generative filling on that image,...is this agains the rules? I know, a bit sneaky...bu you know..at the end, is the truth: Because I covered the breast of the woman, it doesn't count as naked. So...what you would say?

2.) Another Question: Currently I get alwys the message: "There was a problem and your request cannot be completed at this time. Please try again later." When I use generativ fill right now. I tried several times. The most time it doesn't work, but briefly it works. Really weird. But the most time currently not. What does this mean?

[vapid flume]

Basically anything that shows skin will probably get you in trouble with Gen Ai

[vapid flume]

Just scroll a couple of messages up and you'll know the reason 😉

[pliant comet]

How you meant that? I said: I cover it with color.

[unkempt ether]

Hi everyone, could someone here advise me on Adobe Fonts?

Months ago, I had a project where I applied an Adobe Font to a 3D object. At that time, I still had Creative Cloud. I still have the 3D object, and I rendered some images back then.

The font is essentially embedded in my object. Now I'm wondering if I'm still allowed to post the images, even though I no longer have Creative Cloud, but only the Substance subscription. I know it sounds like a silly question, because it should be possible without any problem, but I dont want to risk anything.

[vapid flume]

The original image is still showing skin

[vapid flume]

You can still post the images, because you cannot use that font anymore for another project

[pliant comet]

Yeah, but it dissabled. And I mean: Theoretically, I could the original image keeping out of photoshop. Until...you know lol

[vapid flume]

The only thing I can tell you is to try and see what the program says

It will display an error message if it's against the ToS

[pliant comet]

Means: I make a copy of the original image (with breast) dissable it. The Copy I paint the breast with a color, to cover them, and only then, I use generate fill. 😁

[vapid flume]

Otherwise, all you have to do is do it manually, like we used to. That way you won't at the mercy of a machine 🤖

[pliant comet]

Oh, it works fine. ALWAYS. I wanted just ask, if this is legal 🤣

[vapid flume]

It depends on your country 🙂

[pliant comet]

Ah really? Didn't know that. Hmm.... Sounds.........GREAT. 😁 👌🏻

[vapid flume]

Adobe doesn't make the laws, they set up terms to use their service, you might break those rules, but they are distinct from laws

You can do something that isn't against the rules but still against the law

if you manually composite someone into a situation where you prentend something happened (fake news), Photoshop will let you do it, it's still against the law (at least in country)

[pliant comet]

Ah okey. But you know.."laws" sometimes are also not perfect. Laws can be bended. 😆 Like in this case. Because finally: I mean, if I copy the image and cover the naked breast with a colors,...in that moment, that image is not the same. And with that...lol - But ok. Thanks for the answer. Interesting...

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume (current: #8 - 887)

[unkempt ether]

Thank you so much for the quick answer! 🙂 Am I allowed to create new rendered images or an animation as well? I am not planning to do so, but it would be nice to know. The font is already integrated, and no changes are made to the object itself.

[fluid crane]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @vapid flume (current: #7 - 888)

[vapid flume]

You do you, I personnaly don't "bend" the laws

[vapid flume]

If you have used an Adobe font, and you still have access to Adobe fonts and this font is still distributed in Adobe font, then all good.
The issue here is to know if you still got the licence to use this font.
So are you using a font? or the outline fo a font.
If you're using a font and still got the licence, all good, if you don't have the licence anymore: Not good
If your font have been turned into a 3D shape, and no longer a font, then all good

But if you no longer have a creative cloud or adobe licence of any kind, this font will not be available anymore

So problem solved.

[pliant comet]

Well,...bending in this case sounds only so evil..But hmm...I mean,...laws are made in countries. And the people who make laws, are not ethically perfect and were never. Therefore a.) exist in every country different laws (I mean: Would one say, that in russia the laws are ethically correct? You know? ;-) Or in other heavy dictatory countries?) and, the history shows, that they changed always laws. I trust in that case myself. I think as long I don't make pornos and more, you know, aestetic beauty images,...I don't see it a so badly or evil at all. I mean, professionaly photographers do also aestetic photography with naked breasts. And Photoshop was also always (before generative fill) their tool/programm. So...you see the ethic point? ;-) It's difficult....the thing with the "laws".

☺️

[vapid flume]

Since fonts are synced and not downloaded

[vapid flume]

Except in Iran and such countries, I don't know any country where it's against the laws to show breasts or men's genitals

[pliant comet]

Can we share here somewhere Ideas, for new abilities or functions of photoshop?

Ah, sorry,..I see it. Ideas-and-features.

Law is always dictated by person in charge and what suits him.
Grab people content, become Google, and make rule that no one can copy any sentence of any author.

We are different by morals, not laws.

when i started using fresco i made my own brushes maybe this can help u : https://community.adobe.com/t5/fresco-discussions/how-to-create-a-custom-brush-for-painting-hair/m-p/10643805 , but it depends on what kind of hairstyle u need

Hello, is the generative fill giving you problems?

[ripe quest]

There is an on-going issue for some Photoshop users.

The Firefly issue seems to have been resolved. So that is available if you need to generate something.
https://firefly.adobe.com/

[lunar belfry]

oh

same for me

just read the previous msges

guess its down or something

i tried restarting my pc + PS but no luck

will try again later i guess

[ripe quest]

It's not your PC. Generative Fill occurs in the cloud. The selection is sent to the Creative Cloud, the service processes the pixels and sends them back.

There is currently an issue from Photoshop. If you need to generate something right now an alternative is to use the Firefly web service.

[lunar belfry]

ok, i'm trying to clean up a photo

i can try it in firefly

wonder if they'll make it local, cuz i definatly have a powerfull enough machine to handle gen fill

[ripe quest]

Generative Fill on Firefly might work or you can wait a bit. Hopefully, it will be resolved soon.

[ripe quest]

We don't know how large the AI model is so you don't really know whether or not your GPU could handle it. heh

(Or if Adobe would even ship it with the products.)

[lunar belfry]

thats true, i forgot about the huge pile of data it needs to tap into

well, i dont really know how it works 😂

[ripe quest]

Maybe it takes an H100 to process Gen Fill. WHo knows? :D

Might be able to get a used one on eBay for like $8K. heh

[lunar belfry]

lmao thats not too bad

also odd thing

i'm signed in into my CC account, my company pays for it so i have full access

but every time it prompts me to try the free trial

[outer steppe]

is someone here that replies

[lunar belfry]

very odd

[outer steppe]

im having a problem with generative fill, when i click for generative ai fill, it says error

[lunar belfry]

yes

it is down for now

read above

[ripe quest]

See: #❓ask-a-question message

[ripe quest]

Dang. 2000 credits. That's 'rock star' level access. :)

[lunar belfry]

lol i had no idea, i'm just glad my job provides CC to me

[sweet field]

I've got 1000 and that's as a mentor haha

[lunar belfry]

i'm on a education licence

work for a college

advertising their programs and whatnot

either way, i dont think i could use all those credits even if i wanted to

i dont AI generate enough, but i do quite a bit of gen fill

[pliant comet]

Yeah, still doesn't work...inside photoshop. Tried several times. Nothing.

[lunar belfry]

yee its down, check pins

• ai generation cant get as complex as i'd like it to unfortunatly

still a lot of atrifacting

[wispy nexus]

Help please

[hushed niche]

Do you have a graphic tablet with pressure sensitivity activated?

[ripe quest]

Turn on Name, Stroke and Tip....

Then at the bottom scale the preview down so they will wrap and go side by side...

If that is what you're referring to.

Also, the size of the fonts may be more a function of Windows Scaling than anything Photoshop is doing.

[lunar belfry]

gen fill works now!!!!

[wispy nexus]

Nope

[wispy nexus]

Look at the difference between the 2 @ripe quest

[hushed niche]

Then you won’t see the tapering or opacity changes linked to the pressure sensitive the idea is that it is WYSIWYG

[ripe quest]

So you want the tapering to show on the Brush then? Is that it? Because I see multiple differences in the size of the brush tip preview, font size, etc.

[ripe quest]

If its about the tapering then @hushed niche suggested the solution above.

I think this can also be controlled in Shape Dynamics: Size Jitter > Control: "Fade"

[hushed niche]

Good workaround! But it’d need to be set for every brush, right?

[lunar belfry]

quick question about LrC / camera raw in PS. the AI denoise only works for raws. any idea if it will be available for JPG, PNG and other files?

kind of frustrating

/is there a way to denoise a jpg?

[hushed niche]

I guess you mean to AI denoise a jpeg, as the regular controls should work, knowing that a JPEG is already denoised by the camera’s DSP. https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/using/sharpening-noise-reduction-camera-raw.html

[lunar belfry]

yes, AI denoise

yee this is the good ol fashioned way

i'm familiar with that

but i'm talking about a low rez image for example

i just did it in topaz for now

after

a bit too smooth

but it will be a small image on a page

[lunar belfry]

but you can see the color noise in this image, just something i screenshoted on google maps

the color noise is terrible here

[mighty fiber]

Is there any way to stop #photoshopbeta on the phone to stop changing the brush size when zooming in?

[maiden summit]

hello, i'm a Newcomer here.
I edit some transparent bottels and containers,
i want to transparent this packaging containers,
i always do them with product in them so it's easier 🙂
do you have any idea to do that with no product in that bottels ?

[livid hinge]

so how to fix it

bc it still happends and i cant work

[sly hawk]

Hi

Can you share any images?

so we can see what you're trying to do

[grizzled spade]

I would say recreating or opening and saving the file in different format

and then importing it to another file

[livid hinge]

ok ill try

[proper dune]

Hello im trying to make something but its hard to like do on photoshop im trying to get 2 images but make them half each

[ripe quest]

Symmetrical? Split down the middle?

[harsh socket]

hi, how can i create a straight line after creating a curved line with pen tool?
as you can see in this video im tracing this white thing, i want to be able to make a straight line. is it easier to do without having to use curvature?

[ripe quest]

I'm making an assumption here based on what you said. Generally we would use a Layer Mask...

[ripe quest]

One moment

[ripe quest]

Technically, you can just draw all straight lines at first and adjust the curves later. Just click to set an anchor point instead of clicking and dragging.

[proper dune]

ye like im trying to get 2 logos together for like a logo

like i support 2 football clubs but im struggling to pick a logo

[ripe quest]

It would be easier if you just show the thing or the images that you're trying to combine...

[ripe quest]

You could essentially use the technique I showed above. Place both images into the canvas and use a Layer Mask to remove one side or the other.

We use a mask instead of deleting because deleting is a permanent change. Using a mask, you can change your mind. Adjust things. Etc, etc.

[proper dune]

meh i will try that i am new still but i do follow tuts

[charred nova]

yeah "works"

[proper dune]

that tut so confusing

[ripe quest]

It's like 3 steps.

[ripe quest]

Perhaps you'd benefit from doing some of the beginner tutorials. Then you can get familiar with the basic tools and techniques.

[ripe quest]

If you're trying to do something else, then feel free to describe the goal a bit better.

[proper dune]

i thought of a better idea for a profile picture

imma get the 2 clubs shirt and fit it in this

so its like half and half

[ripe quest]

OK. Great. Same idea.

Good luck with it.

[proper dune]

so i follow the tutorial to split the jersey

this should be eazy

[proper dune]

i can not see the lines on side

[ripe quest]

View > Rulers... It's in the tutorial.

Then View > Snap... so that the guides snap to the center of the canvas.

[proper dune]

oh i thought you meant view > snap

i did snap and nothing happened sorry

[ripe quest]

View > Snap... so its toggled on. Meaning that it has a check mark next to it.

Then you drag a guide from the ruler edge to the center of the canvas. As you drag (slowly) you'll notice that it wants to "snap" to the center.

[proper dune]

i done it

[ripe quest]

I have to step away from the keyboard. Good luck with it.

[proper dune]

Wait i acidently clicked ctrl z how do i undo undo

if you understand with me

[ripe quest]

Edit > Undo... Edit > Redo...

[proper dune]

ok thanks for helping

When i get my image i will find a way to get to fit inside circle

finished idk if it looks bad

[split copper]

Why is the top glow not the same as the bottom one I want them to be the same

[misty marsh]

Not great at photoshop I am wondering why this mask layer with color fill is still showing and I can’t delete because it doesn’t have a layer of its own

Never mind I just fixed it silly 6’4 me😭

[misty marsh]

Just copy and paste top text then change what it says to free

[keen ginkgo]

sorry for the video i guess it won’t even work so i added a picture, does anyone know why the brush thing won’t work in my select and mask tool? it’s for every option that it’s greyed out and it’s so frustrating, this hasn’t happened before.

[mint bison]

Hey guys, does anyone know if its possible to take an image and then make it look drawn like this? i have the exact pixel brushes to create this style. say for instance the original image i have looks like the one in color but i want it to look like the image in black and white

[kind rune]

guys, does photoshop have "show hidden Characters" option & Tab settings for paragraph. im using photoshop 26.3 version

[bold tangle]

thanx

[vapid flume]

@kind rune I don't think Photoshop ever had that option (Illustrator and obviously Indesign have it)
Photoshop has some text features but it's really not its strong suit...

[maiden summit]

this is the bottle i am talking about
it is for saffron spice packaging
i use green backdrops to shoot picture and then transparent that

what are your thoughts guys?

[vapid flume]

You could try to make them pixelated by using the bitmap mode, not sure it will give you the exact same result but worth a try
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eZ2gjIHF7A

Do that on a copy of the file as it's a destructive workflow...

[maiden summit]

i want to that without any saffron in bottle

[sly hawk]

Have you tried gen fill yet?

[sly hawk]

Works pretty well... - Just need to make it more transparent etc

I just tried chucking something in it, seems believable enough to me 🙂

[lunar jacinth]

Can anyone explain to me whenever I move things around? It's become laggy

[warm crater]

Does the project have lots of layers and groups ?

You could hide some stuff (pressing the eye and make them invisible) and it will stop being that laggy

[lunar jacinth]

Ok, so I create new file and put the size I want

When I use the rectangle tool. It's goes laggy for some reason

[river otter]

hello could someone photoshop 2 pictures for me or is it to much to ask ?

[warm crater]

Assuming you didnt put a crazy size for the template
It shouldnt lag . I dont think i can help further than saying your pc maybe cant handle photoshop but if you think it can ,then wait for an expert to reply
