ok hey let's keep it real in here

[final rune]

Everyone using ai acting like an artist 😡

[languid marlin]

Hello guys I am a beginner and have ps CS5...can I do everything in it that I could do in the latest version?

Or am I missing out on more? Right now I am stuck with CS5..IK its old but can I do mostly anything with it? Like digital art or photo manipulation?

[zealous hazel]

Hey designers

Any designer need a portfolio, and I am a website developer I can build your own website from zero. You can share your work or talk about yourself, you can do anything you want on this website!

If you are interested we can talk about the details

[hollow sky]

does anybody know how i can merge layers with different blending modes without messing them up

[stone breach]

How do I make this better? Anyone know? 😭 share your ideas with me please

[hollow sky]

u gotta show us a better picture

we cant even see half the design

you need to make better use of hierarchy and also make things less crammed

theres so much going on anyone looking at it will be confused

you need to guide your audience through the design

and we need more cnotext as to what it is

[desert portal]

what happens if you try just flattening it?

[desert portal]

What's it for? Is it going to be printed? - The call to action is one of the smallest bits of text on the design!

I can't tell if you're promoting the idea of being a dustbin collector, or a lab worker?

[stone breach]

oh because it looks cramp there, is it really unappealing to look at?

[stone breach]

is it at the bottom right? i should clear out? but my manager said dont remove anything from there. idk what to do 😦

[desert portal]

Can you share the whole image?

Talking as someone with a degree in marketing and a manager in a Design Agency, I'd argue that the wording isn't great. You've not included any benefits to the audience as to why they should bother registering. - Are you literally suggesting that they register for some 2 year course off the back of this poster?

maybe take a look at some of these for inspiration:
https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=560969679&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB919GB919&sxsrf=AB5stBjctvb1qCAuVEu5bVBVeKfyREGKrw:1693308124061&q=poster+promoting+a+university+degree&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiThuup4IGBAxUwVEEAHRElBLkQ0pQJegQIBBAB&biw=1745&bih=846&dpr=1.1

Squidging 3-4 images together in some kind of composition really isn't that popular any more. - Maybe it was a decade ago, but not really these days.

[calm salmon]

Heyyy you guys good

[lunar summit]

I'm stuck in a dillema. On one hand, in my experience, most people don't complain about a newbie in #general asking for a pro to check the #help channel. On the other hand, it's either so much of an issue you guys have all the right in the world to be annoyed at people who aren't patient, or, alternately, are just downright toxic and want to make sure scum from the help channel know that they aren't welcome in #general. Which is it? I'm patient, but i'd think this server wouldn't be practically dead. (which appears to be the case as no one has sent a message since i joined, despite this being a multi-billion-dollar corporation's discord....)

[lunar summit]

Is the entirety of photoshop supposed to crash when running on a 1050 TI?

all i did was bump jpeg artifacts from 10 to 26

[river furnace]

For the most part, the people who help out here and answer questions are volunteers. We're not paid to be here. Most of us are working regular F/T jobs. Thus, we answer questions when we can. This is a "community" server and we're here to provide help when available but this is not a "support" channel where one can demand help or to have someone create something for them whenever they turn up. Hope this answers your question(s).

[lunar summit]

okay, so not toxic, just busy and underappreciated ❤️ I respect. was just wondering if i'd get bashed for for saying i had an unanswered question.

[river furnace]

The volunteers are almost all Adobe Community Experts and help when they're around. That said, they are from all different parts of the globe so when you ask the question may determine when/how you get help. Also, if someone doesn't know the answer to your question, you may not get an answer.

[river furnace]

If you've already posted in #❓ask-a-question and it wasn't answered, you can post it again.

[lunar summit]

let me put it this way. Tee only time that I would "Spam" a request for a pro to check the help channel is if the General chat was flooded with messages/users. there was already hate for someone asking a question once with a dead chat

So i expected to get bashed for even suggesting that i had a question

[fair silo]

anyone has free ps?

[lunar summit]

...yeah i see why you might run out of patience.

[river furnace]

No. They do not.

[river furnace]

Patience needs to occur on all sides of the equation. And its often not on the side of the person asking. They expect to be helped immediately when they ask and that's not how things work. You may or may not get an answer. And thus is the nature of Discord, web forums, take your pick.

[river furnace]

Obviously, its not "supposed" to crash at any point. However, figuring out why this is the case could take some experimenting. Perhaps you have incompatible drivers or maybe you've found a bug. Difficult to know why.

[lunar summit]

replicated the settings, the issue didn't reoccur, unfortunately,.

all of my options in filters are greyed out for some reason??? wth

[hasty field]

Yo can someone tell me which one looks better?

but could you expalin it a bit more

[desert portal]

yeah, one moment - just in a call

[surreal plume]

oka

[calm salmon]

hey guys, do you know how to recreatethis on ps and what's the name of it

[desert portal]

Ok, so there are a few routes, but it kind of depends if you're building literally from SCRATCH or if you're utlising existing assets.

[hollow sky]

Whats that? Flattening

[desert portal]

If you plan to just paint with random brush strokes, that;s just super easy. just literally paint with the same colour - however I doubt that's what you're going for...

[desert portal]

I can't provide a full guide, but this is a good start using masks... - the brush doesn't need to be 'splatter', could be branches/blades of something

but ofcourse, there's unsplash.com 😉

i use it in my ruby on rails app with config/initializers/unsplash.rb:

  class Image < Faker::Base
    class << self
      def unsplash(category: nil, width: 400, height: 400, keyword: nil)
        url = 'https://source.unsplash.com'
        url += "/category/#{ category }" unless category.nil?
        url += "/#{ width }x#{ height }"
        url += "?#{ keyword }" unless keyword.nil?
        url
      end
    end
  end
end

together with the faker ruby gem:

Faker is a port of Perl's Data::Faker library. It's a library for generating fake data such as names, addresses, and phone numbers.

Faker helps you generate realistic test data, and populate your database with more than a couple of records while you're doing development.

Dm me i can assist you

[clever zenith]

Hey guys, do you think someone can learn Ps,Ae,Ai,Pr all together?

Do you think a video creator should specialize in one of these or have the ability to use them all?

[river furnace]

Of course you can learn them all. It would be highly beneficial to be able to use all the apps in the Creative Cloud suite as they are designed to work together.

[clever zenith]

I dont want to use the creative cloud but I have basics on all of them

Do you think someone can start a social media activity in this way all alone?

[river furnace]

Creative Cloud is the suite of apps from Adobe.

[river furnace]

I don't understand what this means.... social media activity.

You can create whatever you want, most likely. Assuming that you learn how to use the apps.

Hello everybody

One question If i buy a phosothop suscription i can get older versions? or i need to install the latest version of adobe software??

I have Catalina 10.15 IOS MAC so i can not install the lates versions of photoshop and lightroom

[river furnace]

Older versions are available not all. It only goes back so far.

The previous Ps version that is available for install from the CC app is 22.2.

Previous version of Lightroom Classic is 11.0.

[lunar summit]

I think that whit Catalina 10.15 IOS

I can install

PHOTOSHOP 23.X and LIGHTROOM 11.0??

[river furnace]

22.2 is the "oldest" in the list.

[lunar summit]

So if i buy a suscription will be ok??

Do you know if there are any discount code to get a suscription from adobe? I only need PHOTOSHOP AND LIGHTROOM PHOTOGRAPHY PLAN (20 GB)

[river furnace]

If the computer meets the recommended system requirements (https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html) then it should. However, I would contact Adobe Customer Care to be sure. And ask about what happens if you have issues installing it, etc.

[river furnace]

I don't know of any discount codes. If you're an active student enrolled somewhere, I think you can get an educational discount. Other than that, you'd have to ask Adobe Customer Care.

[lunar summit]

THANKSSSSS

[glass hazel]

Hey i can't open lightroom, any ideas why ?

like it crashes right away

[unkempt vector]

Does it display any errors? If not, restarting your computer is the fast and easy way to fix most issues. If that doesn't fix it, I recommend reinstalling as troubleshooting will most likely take longer and be more annoying.

how do i remove these

Hi! Could you explain what it is you're trying to remove? I believe I see some blue dots in there, is that what you're referring to?
If you have it on a layer that doesn't have anything you don't want to remove in the same area, you can simply select and mask it out or delete it.

that work lol?

@lunar summit

dd it?

i assume it fricks it up

bro im new idek any of this 😭

i tried R.I.P

[unkempt vector]

This is likely the way to go about it. You can use the auto setting in Photoshop's Camera Raw and use one of the presets to quickly make the changes to how you want it to look. It won't be perfect as color grading takes a long time, but it will allow you to export it to jpeg without spending too long on it.

[desert portal]

I asked AI for a suggestion whilst I was waiting for some videos to render....

Title: "The Ultimate Gamble"

Description: Create a dramatic and surreal image that combines elements of life, death, and video game aesthetics. Here's how you can visualize it:

Background: Start with a dark, ethereal background that resembles the realm of the dead. You can use a cloudy, misty landscape or a cosmic backdrop to create an otherworldly atmosphere.

Character: Place the character in the center of the composition. They should be in a dynamic pose, facing the Grim Reaper. You can have the character wearing a gaming headset and holding a controller to emphasize the video game theme.

Grim Reaper: Position the Grim Reaper behind the character, looming ominously. Make the Grim Reaper's presence intimidating with a tattered cloak, skeletal hands, and a menacing scythe.

Health Bar: Add a health bar at the top of the composition. Make it look like a digital game health bar with a green bar representing the character's remaining health. Initially, it should be almost depleted.

Text: Above the health bar, include text that says "Character's Health." Make it look like it's part of the game interface.

...
Dialogue Balloons: Create dialogue balloons for both the Grim Reaper and the character. The Grim Reaper's dialogue should be in a dark, foreboding font, saying, "Your end is here." The character's dialogue should be in a playful, colorful font, saying, "Psych!"

Second Health Bar : Just below the first health bar, add a second health bar that's full and glowing with vitality. Make it stand out with bright, vibrant colors.

Visual Effects: Use various visual effects like particles, glows, and digital elements to enhance the overall video game vibe of the image. You can add sparks or glowing lines around the character and health bars to emphasize the transition.

Lighting: Play with dramatic lighting to create contrast between the character, the Grim Reaper, and the health bars. You can have a spotlight effect on the character and health bars while keeping the Grim Reaper partially shrouded in darkness.

Finishing Touches: Apply a filter or adjustment layer to unify the colors and mood of the composition. Consider adding subtle textures or grunge effects to give it an edgy, digital feel.

This composition will convey the moment when the character defies death with a clever twist, making it a visually captivating and thought-provoking image.

@river furnace - We're doing this video build and the videographer has just dropped off 2TB video footage on a HDD.

It's footage for me to put together for a TV/Online ad. - Video filesizes are getting so insane!

[river furnace]

Sounds like you need more heads (for all the different hats you wear).

[desert portal]

Nah. Thankfully I've got a video guy. - But he's working on some other last minute builds today, so to keep things moving and to avoid missing deadlines, I just offered to take a bunch of high res MXF video files (that the client doesn't have the software to view), export them as low res versions MP4 clips and then start some basic editing premier pro to at least start matching the storyboard.

What's the best adobe software for making eye-catching visually appealing PDF files

[river furnace]

Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop

[hexed basin]

What's the difference between the two? Like I know what photoshop is made for but

[river furnace]

Maybe Adobe InDesign if its a PDF with a lot of pages and complicated page layouts.

Illustrator is primarily for creating/editing vector graphics.

[unkempt vector]

This means that the drive (hard drive or SSD) does not have enough storage space left for Photoshop to write temporary data to. You will either need to free up space in your existing drive, or set Photoshop to use a different drive with more space for scratch files.

[burnt crypt]

does anyone know how to make png or text like this?

sorry for the bad explanation lol

trying to figure out how to do that

better example

im wondering on how to make a text to go from this

to this^

in photoshop

same with png if thats possible

[full karma]

Are you talking giving text an outline?

[burnt crypt]

yes but not im trying to get a text t look like its only an outline

so there is nothing inside and the text is an outline

[full karma]

You can approximate this very easily with text in Photoshop by setting the font color itself to be white, and then adding the stroke layer effect to the text in black.

If you need the text to actually only be an outline, you might try something like typing whatever you're trying to write into Photoshop and then converting the text layer to a shape, which will make vector shapes out of your text. You can then apply a stroke to this shape. The added benefit to this solution is that you have the option for the text to literally be an outline, however, it has the drawback of being a lot more finnicky and you'll probably have to play around with it for a while. Illustrator is probably a little better tuned to solving your problem this way.

The first solution might look something like this

[burnt crypt]

so if i want this to be like a outline type with a transparent background how do i do it ?

[full karma]

So for this, another option, and in this case the best option in my opinion, would be to first apply the stroke layer effect to the text you've typed in this image.

You can find these effects if you press the fx button near the bottom of the layer tab and select Stroke. From here you can choose how wide of a stroke, what color, opacity, etc. These aren't as important for now, you can edit them later.

Afterwards, you should see an option near the top right of the Layers tab, called "Fill", which will be at 100%. Select this and set it to 0. This will make your text fully transparent, leaving behind the overlay you put on it earlier. From here, you can modify the overlay until it fits your preferences.

Hi, is there a way to copy the text for a real life note in photoshop

[desert portal]

@chilly condor - What do you mean?

Scan it in?

or take a photo/scan of an image of text and then paste it into a text editor?

(Using Optical Character Recognition)?

[chilly condor]

I want to take the text from a piece of paper as is and transfer it to another image , I want to do this cause it's handwritten and not a font.

[desert portal]

If the image is decent, that should be fine/easy.

[chilly condor]

And how can I select the text ?

And do I turn it into a PNG and then transfer it to the other image ?

Just 3D poster

[unkempt vector]

Hi! This pulls heavily from lowbrow, especially airbrushed cars such as lowriders. There is also inspiration from vintage 90s tees, with its soft and blurred lighting, and overexposed highlights. I can't tell you a specific way to recreate this, as it looks like the artist used complex 3D lighting setups and post processing. There's a lot of grain and Photoshop's film grain may be one way to get something close to this effect. This style depends heavily on the picture used, the style of photography (in this case 3D simulated photography) and its lighting setup.
By the light on the edge, do you mean what's behind the graphic? That appears to be the graphic itself motion blurred.

[primal basin]

Can someone help me merge these two points? Does it have to be a vector or something?

[unkempt vector]

The easiest way to do this is to use the pen tool to create the shape. Make sure the lines you make follow the angle of the original shape and it'll look great! Photoshop doesn't support vector, however you could do it the same way in Illustrator as well.

[primal basin]

Would love to use Illustrator but I haven't found a package that offers both PS and AI. :/

That's affordable* anyway.

There a hotkey I can press that makes pen follow that angle, or?

I think shift just does 90 degree angles.

[unkempt vector]

Yes, but you don't need to use that, you can line it up fairly easily. With pen tool click a little bit down the line from the very corner, then with your second click you make sure the line keeps going at the same angle, and you do the same thing for the other side!

[full karma]

Fortunately given the simplicity of the shape you're trying to make, creating it with the pen tool by hand shouldn't be too terrible an experience (:

[primal basin]

Getting there lol.

That's a great start

Stay away from Illustrator please!

I highly recommend Animate instead. Even if you're not doing any animation (I'm not).

But it's still the simplest and most intuitive basic vector drawing tool out there. It's gotten way too little praise.

I do all my best work on it. Absoutely indispensable.

Couple questions, if a project requires CMYK, do I have to use specific colours in some sort of spectrum or can PS easily switch colour modes? And someone earlier said PS doesn't do vector (so hence the need to look into AI, etc), but how so? If in the project I use PS method of vectoring the logos and moving them into place and eventually exporting as PNG will this suffice? Why or why not?

It's confusing to me how anybody would use .svg files.

Can someone please call me and help me with some images i bought. The images seem to be a gradient.
which when on a white background. destroys the image.
when i put a solid black background it corrects it. but i dont want all the negative space to be black. Only the subject itself needs the background color. but when i mask it. its not working. so i need another method.

[unkempt vector]

Could you post a screenshot so we understand more what the issue is?

[unkempt vector]

Sure, post in #❓ask-a-question or #📝project-feedback!

[daring scroll]

i need the black where all the voids are. but not outside the image of the character. and when i select and mask it doesnt seem to work

[unkempt vector]

Okay, I see. So it looks like there is empty space between all the illustrations. It looks like this image will look best on a black background, but I believe I have a way for you to get it sort of how you want it, though it may not look as intended. You would like the black background to only be behind the character and for the rest of the picture to be white, correct?

For that you will have to manually outline the character with pen tool, turn that into a selection and mask the black background to remove the negative space in the top left and right. This is unfortunately not possible by simply selecting the illustrations in the first image, but it shouldn't take too long to do it manually with the pen tool. Then you can add a white background where it was black previously. The blue gradient may look a bit messy, but the rest of the image should good.

You can't copy the transparent pixels from the browser. So don't copy/paste. Save the PNG down first. (To the desktop or where ever you normally download things.) THEN drag it into Photoshop.

Very nice background Rej!

[ember lion]

You can use it on Mac, Dezen! It is installed through a creative cloud subscription. Hope you get to install it well.

[inner solstice]

Thats from google , i want to make my own with own colours i just dont know how its called 😅

[ember lion]

ohh okay, I believe it is used with different brush techniques, a purple background is made through the fill tool, this is followed by a hot pink which is used firstly as a dotted effect through changing the style of the brush to a circular one, this can be used by pressing Caps Lock on your computer, as stated within this https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/how-to-restore-the-circle-shape-for-the-brush-tool-in-photoshop/td-p/5123443, this is overlapped with a pink brush with a blur effect to create the fades and uneven colour patterns which make it look more vibrant in particular areas, hope this helps, if not, adobe how to's in a comic style are always good for influence, it seems to be very similar to a SpiderVerse style too so I suggest looking into working with that style for some of your images to get used to it.

like that

[unkempt vector]

Hi! Do you want to just cut that picture in half, diagonally? Looks like you already made a line with pen tool. If you continue the pen tool line by clicking all the way around the part of the picture you want to cut and then connect the "path" by clicking on the same dot you started with, you can then right click and make a selection. Then you can simply press delete or backspace, and it will remove everything in the selection. You can also use the mask function if you want to work non-destructively.

[unkempt vector]

Here's a quick demo on how you can do that! If you mean cropping the canvas, you can do that with the crop tool (shortcut is C) and select what you want to keep on your canvas

Any of you have experience with using continuous lights for photos? I am thinking about getting some lume cube studio panels just to try them out and see.

A bit tho id highly suggest you dont make the same mistake i did when i started out

Dont try to get the cheapest one

get one thats decently priced

cause the cheap ones get you very weird shots

[spring glade]

That’s really relative lol
What would you consider decent?

[dire flower]

hmm as in amazon links?

The set I was looking at is $350 for 2 panels

send me a photo real quick

[spring glade]

https://lumecube.com/products/studio-panel-lighting-kit

Battery if needed, color temp, remote operated, comes with a remote.
Gets super bright.

[dire flower]

This one seems worth it

id say if it is in your budget

take it

or

instead of two for 350

maybe get a set thats like

320

and use the rest of the 30

for inexpensive lighting

maybe for shadowns

or something similar

but dont get anything really cheap

like similar thing for half the price

[spring glade]

Just seems much easier to set that up than to deal with batteries and speed lights, umbrellas and boxes etc

I get that speed lights get much brighter though

I wish someone would make a rechargeable speed light 😂

[dire flower]

im sure those exist

tho quality id doubt it

you can maybe get some cheap knockoff from wish or aliexpress 😂

[spring glade]

yeah, I don't buy from places like that lol

I get why they don't exist really though, too much energy for the capacitors to constantly be pulling

maybe continuous will just be so good I don't need speed lights any more xD

Do need to watch the 6 hour video or I can just use and learn Photoshop

Is it worth it?

[unkempt vector]

Hey! I don't know which 6 hour video you're referring to, but I think it's a good idea to watch a video explaining all the tools and features. Photoshop is a big piece of software and it's easy to get overwhelmed, so it's good to have a little overview before jumping in. The way I learned, years ago, is that I had an end product in mind, and watched tutorial videos on how to achieve that exact style. This helped me with learning the tools for exactly the things I wanted to do. It may be a good idea for you to do the same, watching a video and following along to learn the layout and tools of the program.

To be honest, it depends on your learning style, but I don't think watching a 6 hour long video is the best approach. That's a long time and at least for me it would be easy to be bored before finishing it, especially since it's a program you're not familiar with. So I say start smaller and ease into it, maybe doing 10-20 minute videos to start with.

[half swan]

😳

[unkempt vector]

But I will say that just jumping into it and trying to learn without watching any videos or reading any material may not be the best option as it's easy to get lost with the amount of tools and features. Good luck on your process to learning! 😄

Hi guys I am looking to hire a professional photoshop editior that is capable of adding people into pictures

Once I notice you are a right candidate I am willing to recruit you as one of my employees part time dm me if ur interested

And don’t worry I won’t be saying do 20 pictures as a trial it’s very small I just wanna see if ur capable of the bare minimum

[thorn solar]

Still, I have no idea what you mean. You want to split a single image into two?

[desert portal]

I assume they mean something like this:

[desert portal]

This is probably MORE complicated than you were going for.... - but may help?

[pulsar zinc]

hi,,

may i ask wht happened to ps gen fill?

[random sonnet]

Bro

I spent 5 hours

trying to find a font

and was super sad I couldn't find it

[modern plaza]

What font

[random sonnet]

only to find out it was a font I already but in bold.

faux bold.

Bebe Neue, I could haven sworn that was the font I used prior but it had this nice like slices cut out of the edges, it was super important I find it again.

[inner solstice]

Wow thats looking good. 👍

I hope someone will teach me how to do things like this 😅

[unkempt vector]

Looks like James just did teach you how to do it! If you have any questions feel free to drop them in here or in #❓ask-a-question 😄

[inner solstice]

Yes , he taught but i mean other things 😅 , like idk... how to do for example this , i mean the bright sunshine etc... if there is anyone who willing to teach me i will apreciate it , ofc not for free 🤣

[unkempt vector]

Unfortunately this is not something that's easiliy taught. This has a strong composition, it uses 3D graphics, and has very good colors. It's a good reference piece, but being able to make something like this will likely take years of experience because you need to learn the fundamentals of art to be able to replicate it. It was also most likely made by a team of multiple people. I doubt that one person made the 3D models, composited, and painted over this piece. I'm not saying it's not possible, but it's difficult and a lot of work. Though don't be discouraged, keep this and other work you like saved in a folder and look at it once in a while, and work on your own art in the meantime.

I suggest starting with reading about the fundamentals of art, that is where everyone has to start (whether they know it yet, or not). When you have an overview of what they all mean, just pick one to get started with. I liked color as a fundamental, so I studied color and lighting. And once you feel like you have progressed, move on to the next fundamental and practice that 😄

[inner solstice]

Thank you for that , i will try it 👍 , big up for you.

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @unkempt vector

[unkempt vector]

Good luck! There's much to learn but I believe in you

[inner solstice]

And one more question , where is my "back" thing? I know it was there but idk where that thing went 😅

I mean when u drawed for example line and u want to delete it.

[unkempt vector]

Do you mean your history? You can undo by pressing ctrl+z, or you can find the history menu if you click Window up on the top, and then History. You can find all the menu panels there.

[inner solstice]

Perfect 👍

Most challenging thing was for me 3D edit , i was stuck in this thing for like 1 hour and i wanted to delete my photo i was working on... 🙈

I managed to somehow quit it but still dont know what i selected to end that thing 🤣

How can I get pics from my laptop to my phone fast

Hey could someone help me in photoshopping this picture?

[kind arrow]

[lost marten]

[desert portal]

You may as well download the original, higher res version here:

[lost marten]

yeah but i wanted it like in a 1920 x 1080 png where the icon is in the middle

[zinc folio]

hi guys

[broken sierra]

hello lads

i have a challenge for you lot

i need a png of this lion with no background

[desert portal]

If you can be bothered to create a free account and download and send over SVG, I'll make you the exact size you want.

[lost marten]

sure send me the website

[desert portal]

I did. - above

[lyric lion]

lorem ipsum

[lost marten]

oh okay mb

[desert portal]

That's the Lion from Black Lion Kitchen.

(Reading Football Club)

https://www.qandhlondon.com/work/black-lion-kitchen

[broken sierra]

why have they nicked our lion hahaha

thats brilliant thank you

[molten geode]

if someone could make me this typ of thing but with a different words and photo please reach out i will pay if needed

[broken sierra]

couldnt you just take a screenshot

[desert portal]

our lion?

[broken sierra]

our as in the massive reading

[desert portal]

Reading fan I assume?

[broken sierra]

ofc

[desert portal]

Black Lion kitchen are the catering company that look after the Reading FC.

If anyone was going to use the logo, it would be a catering company that provide match-day food.

[desert portal]

Where did you get that image from anyway? The lion looks decent on there?

[broken sierra]

idk google

i cant remove the red lmao

[desert portal]

ah. here we go.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/11/Reading_FC.svg

SVG. Perfect

[broken sierra]

i had no idea they did tbh and i have a season ticket

[desert portal]

boots up Adobe Illustrator

[broken sierra]

whats a .svg?

[desert portal]

An image, but it's generated using maths and curves instead of pixels.

[broken sierra]

brilliant

[desert portal]

great since if can be SCALED to whaetever size you want and it will still have perfect edges

[broken sierra]

scalar vector graphic?

thanks a lot

[broken sierra]

oh no

i dont have illustrator

[desert portal]

@broken sierra 👆

[broken sierra]

legend

wait

i dont meant to be a pain

but could you do it for the crown too?

the one on top of the other red patch

[desert portal]

What are you trying to do with the images anyway? @broken sierra

(Partly me just being nosey)

[broken sierra]

i was going to use the lion for a flag maybe

possibly the crown as well but idk

[desert portal]

Are you going to get the flag professionally printed?

The printers would probably prefer a vector / SVG file.

[broken sierra]

unsure

[desert portal]

(If so, just send them this and they can create the artwork for you)

[broken sierra]

i probably wont do anything

but even if i dont i know what an svg is now

and i have the images

love you

[desert portal]

Thanks for sending me the SVG - here's the correct size rastered PNG

Hey who can help me change the color is this car

These are better pictures

[runic pond]

That makes it look so weird 😭

Thank you though !!!

[desert portal]

or you could use a gradient map....

[runic pond]

Ionk how you doing that but thanks 😭

Ok what about photoshopping different rims

[desert portal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQczqpwXXZg

far more difficult for rims, since you need to get an image with the right angle.

you can't take a 'face on' rim and skew it, since it will look wrong.

[runic pond]

Gotcha

[desert portal]

Actually... - you sorta can - as long as it's a simple one and you're not too fussy. It won't win any awards but might do the job 🙂

[runic pond]

Ok so turn the car back to the original color and put like a black rim on it

[desert portal]

go for it.

night

[worn echo]

need help of photoshopping something, itll be quick, willing to pay a little

[calm salmon]

how do you call this

[unkempt vector]

That's just a little sketch using a pen and a gray brush. Are you looking to do this yourself, or are you looking for similar work?

[calm salmon]

i'm trying to photo manipulate pictures for creating this effect to some pictures

or if it's not that hard, trying to do it on photoshop

idk if i can have a similar result with filter gallery

[unkempt vector]

Okay, I see. Unfortunately this is not an image effect. This is a drawing/sketch someone did with a pen. You can try the Charcoal or Stamp filters in the filter gallery, but it's not going to look exactly like it.

[calm salmon]

yeaa i know that i will never have this kind of result by photo manipulating

i'm gonna try it tysm for you help 🙂

[foggy pagoda]

how can i blend in a skintone into a diffrent skintone

im doing some body modifercations

trying to match them is hard >)>

[stone idol]

How do i make it look like light is coming out of the middle like a tunnel?

[warped sleet]

Hello everyone hello talented artists today I come to you with a very important question is there any chance someone could do a logo like this ?

[misty silo]

you have to add it manually using levels or curves and actually there is many more way to do it. it depends on how you want it.

[dense rune]

hi can someone link best photoshop fonts?

free fonts

[terse shard]

i can just delete the 2022 versions without problems right?

[ornate lichen]

Yes

[ornate lichen]

https://www.1001fonts.com/free-for-commercial-use-fonts.html

[ornate lichen]

You can do that easily with brush

In case you want to do it with some visual example, here's the link for ya...

[modern plaza]

I like your pfp lol

[inner solstice]

@desert portal i dont need it anymore just trying to learn something 😅

[desert portal]

I mean it looks bloody awful since the image it so horrifically low res, but I'd do something like this...

You need to start by selecting the pixels around the existing logo, but since it's so light/washed out, I had to grab another logo online to 'trace' over.

I could have just drawn a box around the logo and clicked the generative fill button, but I wanted to keep as much of the background/mountains as possible.

[inner solstice]

Hoooly , that awesome! Why is there no youtube video like this? All i watched was with "patch thing" and i can't get anything like this. Thats so awesome again! Thanks for learning a new thing!

[vernal field]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @desert portal

[inner solstice]

And this is possible in photoshop?

[desert portal]

Yes you can, but it's a lot more work.

[inner solstice]

I want to try new things so why not 😅 , is there any link to yt video or something?

[desert portal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRyhaBmEvSA

(or download and use an existing one as the basis)

[inner solstice]

So you can transfer gifs or mp4 into ps? I have Ps cc 2019

[desert portal]

Every 'frame' is a layer in photoshop - you need to place your two images either side of the lightning OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN for each of the frames

Yes you can. At least you can in the most recent versions of PS

[inner solstice]

Nice , thank you so much. You dont know how u helped me

[desert portal]

e.g....

[past rapids]

Hi guys, I wonder if there is an easy way to automate a procedure. I've got a character that is sliced up into separate layers. I have 5000 images of the same character in different clothes and need all of them to be sliced and layered the same way. If I do them each separately it will take me at least a month.. Please help 🙂

[unkempt vector]

Hmm, there may be a way, though without seeing exactly how you would like to slice and layer, I'm not 100% certain it will work. You can create an action and use the batch feature to apply it to all images. However, it may struggle if the images that will be layered on top are not cropped exactly the same way. Try it out and see if it works for you.

[lunar summit]

Hey I am new to Photoshop but want to be good, is there anyone in this community who is down to guide me through this program? I used programs like Ableton and Bitwig before so my learning curve is quiet high

[desert portal]

@old igloo - have you quite finished?

[agile dagger]

https://giphy.com/gifs/HBOMax-tom-and-jerry-hbomax-n-NV4cSrRYXXwfUcYnua

[desert portal]

Honestly it depends on what you want to do with it.

There are some really good tutorials built into the software, and loads of youtube video guides.

[lunar summit]

can you link me the best youtube channels?

[agile dagger]

PiXimperfect is one of our favs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTzvQkOll2U

[idle jewel]

hello, can i ask someone to do a simple design for me or is that not allowed

[foggy pagoda]

is there a way to mach this skin with the other?

[desert portal]

You can ask... but it will depend on how much you're asking, how polite you are, and who's online and whether they're available to give up their time for you.

[idle jewel]

may i contact you and see if i am asking too much?

[desert portal]

What's the context? - whole image that little square doesn't really make much sense.

[foggy pagoda]

@desert portal

im doing a pregnancy edit

[desert portal]

I'd suggest you cast your net wider than just one person and just post the request/brief here 🙂

[foggy pagoda]

but it has a diffrent skin tone

[desert portal]

You could possibly do some kind of overlay blend to get some of the colour to come through... - is it possible to show a bit more of the image?

[desert portal]

but yeah, feel free to DM me if you want 🙂

[foggy pagoda]

@desert portal can't really

since it was an NSFW shot

[desert portal]

ok. fair enough.

so... you have two photos, presumably some kind of before and after.

and the lighting/image makes the skin tone look like it's from a different person

[foggy pagoda]

the otherlay kinda works

overlay

getting close

just a tad darker

ill figure something out

[desert portal]

given the tiny reference image, I tried using overlay, then knocked the opacity down to about 60% and then brightened it too

I can't really offer more than that since it's going to be dependant on the image itself of course.

[foggy pagoda]

@desert portal

i did it

[desert portal]

Nice work 🙂

[foggy pagoda]

i used auto blend layers

its not perfect but got it done

[desert portal]

ooh, fancy! - Makes sense

[foggy pagoda]

i can just do touch up

top one didint work

bottom did

but stack only works with 50% opacity

[desert portal]

yeah I don't think that's really the purpose of the tool, but great to hear it worked for you

[foggy pagoda]

it did it just got this bit that it didint do

you can see its a match tho

i used the content fill for this

job turned out goof

[glad osprey]

making best thumbnails in the world for just 10$ dm me for examples ( i really make things high level)
