The only way to keep growing is by challenging yourself. Work on some project, subject, style, method that you're unfamiliar with. Get out of your comfort zone. Shake things up. And you have to work from inception to completion. Leaving a bunch of open-ended projects can be detrimental to your ability to succeed. You need to start with a goal in mind and fulfill it. Even if the result isn't exceptional. If its not good enough. Do it again. That's how you grow.

Motivation is a very different, personal thing. What motivates me may or may not motivate you. You have to find the fire somehow and it really depends on your personal situation. I spent a lot of late nights working on things so I could get ahead as opposed to other friends doing "fun" things or wasting time.

[rotund gorge]

anyone does free lance here?

[shrewd briar]

That’s really great advice. You’re right, getting out of the comfort zone is so important. I definitely need to push myself more and actually finish my personal projects instead of leaving them half done. Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts

[river furnace]

If you describe the project briefly, someone might be interested and reach out to you.

[shrewd briar]

Hmm basically I am also do some freelance work bro

[rotund gorge]

well i am trying to make a passive income source as a graphic designer
so far i learned the basics of Photoshop.
I am thinking of buying the premium adobe creative cloud and work with ai.

is that a good idea?

[river furnace]

Heh. Scroll up.

[shrewd briar]

That’s a great goal. If you’re serious about graphic design, investing in Adobe Creative Cloud can definitely be worth it, especially since it gives you access to all the tools you’ll need, including AI features that can save a lot of time. Just make sure you’re ready to practice consistently so you get the most value out of it. Good luck with building your passive income!

[rotund gorge]

so how do i get clients and where? any ideas?

and also i live in a country where paypal isn't available

i am still on learning in a course and the mentor told us to start from freelancer . com and do contests

[shrewd briar]

Start with Freelancer.com contests to build your portfolio. Check if they support Payoneer or Wise instead of PayPal. Also, share your work on LinkedIn and design groups to find clients. Keep learning and practicing!

[sterile quest]

While working with a multi-layered PSD involving advanced blending modes, adjustment layers, and layer masks, you noticed severe color shifts after exporting to sRGB for web. What steps would you take to diagnose and fix the issue while ensuring the exported image matches what you see in Photoshop?

[sterile quest]

I’m having a tough time with this one if anyone’s run into this before, I’d really appreciate some help

[river furnace]

I think that would really depend on the Color Mode and Color Profile (if any) that you used while creating the PSD. Is it CMYK? RGB? Which Bit Depth? sRGB but what file format? PNG8, PNG24? JPEG?

Also, please use #❓ask-a-question for technical questions. This is more "causal chat" and more experts monitor the other room.

Apparently, I'll need to spell this out for you @summer fiber: If you want to be an annoyance, you can be removed permanently. Is English good or would you prefer that in binary?

[summer fiber]

Feels like you’re less mad about what I said and more about how true it felt. That’s rough.

[river furnace]

Why are you here?

[dense grotto]

How do I do multiple gradient blurs on my image? Anytime I do more then 1, instead of being white, the gradient blur gives me the no texture thing

[river furnace]

Not sure what that means "gradient blurs" - do you have an example?

[dense grotto]

The one on the right it’s what I’m trying to go for

[river furnace]

Are you asking about a Layer Mask?

[river furnace]

Why is the image rotated? :)

[dense grotto]

I took a picture of my screen on my phone, that’s probably why

[dense grotto]

I want to do the white blur to both sides of the image, but the left side isn’t working for some reason

[river furnace]

I'm still a bit confused about the goal. Are you trying to use a Layer Mask to softly fade the edges to transparent? With a background color underneath?

[dense grotto]

I have about 2 hours of photoshop experience lol, I’m just trying to blur both sides of my photo like I did with the right side of my image

[river furnace]

I see. It doesn't look like a "blur" to me which is why I'm asking. It looks like more of a "mask" and its being used to fade the image off to white. (?)

Anything like that? Or am I not understanding your goal here?

[dense grotto]

That was perfect, thank you!!

[woeful gull]

Does anyone know a free website where i could create a portfolio?

(With customization)

[river furnace]

Are you an Adobe Creative Cloud Subscriber?

[woeful gull]

No

[river furnace]

Never mind then. Adobe Portfolio comes with the sub.

[misty silo]

Behance is Free.

[woeful gull]

But does the website come with customization or do you just get a preset?

[river furnace]

You can't change the layout. Only the posts themselves are customizable. Not the site.

[woeful gull]

Thats pretty lame

[river furnace]

If you want customizable, get a domain and build a website.

[woeful gull]

Fair enough

Just thought there would be more options

[river furnace]

There are enough cheap hosting sites out there that come with Wordpress and such.

Fully customizable at that point.

[woeful gull]

Yeah i had some domains before

But well figuring out the css is hard

[river furnace]

There is always like Wix or whatever

[woeful gull]

Especially with layouts that arent linear

[river furnace]

I'm not sure of what to suggest from free uncustomizable to cheap customizable that meets your skill level.

Wix maybe.

Wix has a bunch of templates. I think you can customize it and pay to remove their links and branding off of it.

[charred sphinx]

I want to use the DISCORD_MASK layer to destructively cut out Layer 1. I ctrl clicked the thumbnail to marquee the borders, but when I try to delete parts of the image it wont let me because it's a smart object I think. Any advice?

The 'why' for all of this is pretty roundabout, but I want to do this as a learning exercise

[river furnace]

You can't directly edit the pixels of a Smart Object. You either have to use a Layer Mask or Rasterize the Layer first; then delete the pixels.

[charred sphinx]

well there's a layer mask attatched to the group of smart objects. can I use the mask to destroy the pixels that way?

[river furnace]

No. A Mask shows/hides content; it doesn't "destroy" anything. That's the point of the mask.

You can't directly edit the pixels of a Smart Object. It must be rasterized. Then you can "destroy" away.

[charred sphinx]

do I lose pixels by converting from smart back to raster? I have the original image files I can alternatively re-import as well

im trying to minimize compression in any and all forms for this

[river furnace]

Lose pixels? If you delete them, yes, you lose pixels.

[charred sphinx]

my bad, to clarify, not that part lol

like i imported an image

and converted it to a smart object

if I convert said smart object back to raster

idk how compression works in this context

[river furnace]

No. Again. That's the point of using a Smart Object. Its like a protective container around the bitmap keeping it from degradation from pixel operations, such as scaling, stretching, squashing, rotating.

If your aim is to edit the pixels, then you must rasterize it first. Then you can directly edit each colored block (pixel) in the bitmap.

[charred sphinx]

I see ok I'll try that and see what I can do. Thank you for the help and explanation

[river furnace]

Its not compression. Its more protecting it from "interpolation" that takes place when you move, paint, delete, rotate, etc sections of pixels. These operations inherently change the image and unless you use "undo" you can't get them back. Or you re-import a copy and start over.

If you have the image saved elsewhere, there isn't any real danger of losing it.

The Smart Object and the Layer Mask are for protecting the instance you're working on. Mostly for things like: you scaled the image down and then realize that you don't like it and want to return it back to its original size. With a pixel layer, its too late. That image has already been permanently changed.

[charred sphinx]

I want to apply a filter to multiple layers at once so I can export the layers individually. I know how to do the second part, but what's the simplest way to go about doing the first? I read up on smart layers, but I'm not sure on how to exactly go about it

[keen zenith]

group all the layers you wanna filter → right-click the group → convert to smart object → apply your filter to that smart object

or

make each layer a smart object, then apply the filter to one → hold Alt (Option on Mac) and drag the filter effect onto the rest of the smart layers

[charred sphinx]

i did the group approach and applied my filter(s) to the group. now how do I export them such that each one has the filter itself? do I just quick export as png?

[keen zenith]

use the other method

make every layer a smart object.. and copy the smart filters from one layer to all of em

or duplicate the whole group then isolate and export each layer one at a time with the filter still active

[charred sphinx]

looks good

[keen zenith]

quick export as PNG will only export what’s currently visible..so unless you hide all others each time it’ll grab the whole group...*

[dull moss]

Mann, its like i skip over 99% of the editing hassle. Because i just can create create cool art from thin air.

Fortunately vector works well with interpolation. But using Animate makes my pc trip over from the bloat.

[dull moss]

Likely the person is only doing simple edits. Pretty sure any mistake or change of mind within a few dozen actions can be fixed by using the undo button (Ctrl+Z). If all else fails. Just import it again.

Unless they create a monster brownie. Then i shall send my TAKU Ninjas to elimante them.

[thorny hemlock]

how to do this in photoshop?? i did this with some online site.. but i want to do this in ps with easy step

[ruby jackal]

You can do that with a curves or level adjustment layer. Lighten the image, lower contrast, I don't feel like there is much else than that.
Maybe play with the saturation? (lower it, as the skin looks washed up now)
I'm assuming the left one is what you want, given the direction of the arrow.

[thorny hemlock]

yes i try with curves and level but result not like this one.. i am not good at editing just start some time ago .. so i was hoping to get some step by step if you have free time.. 🙂 i watch some video but cant get close result like this one.. this pic make from AI so skin tone look bad

[ruby jackal]

The problem is that for douing it exactly like you want, you will need trail and error, like I would do, and I'm doing this stuff for over 10 years 🙂

If you really want the exact same result, you will need to look at number: Place colour markers on the before image and have the after image side by side and apply layers on the before until you get the same numbers than the target. For that you will have to use the colour sampler tool.

See how I placed several samples on the skin before and after to guide me, of course you need to place them accurately at the same place on each

By using the INFO panel, you can see the numbers (and the numbers never lie 🙂 )

Of course in your case you will have to put the images in two different tabs, side by side and you will get a separate info panel for each image.
You can do a side by side by going to Window > Arrange > 2 up vertical (and you'll need to open both images first)

After that, choose your method of choice, levels or curves (I prefer curves) and move each channel until you get the same numbers than the target
For example here, in the Curves adjustment layer, I am choosing the Green channel, so I will either lighten or darken the greens on a specific point of the curve...

There are simpler method, but none of them will give you 100% accuracy. Only working by numbers will give you that.

This is how I do it when a client asks me to replicate the grading of a particular image (grading means colour correction)
Sometimes you have to mask parts of the images to only colour correct those.
It is sometimes a tedious job, particularly when the colours are very far apart (which is not the case in yours)
I don't know any "simple" method to do it that doesn't involve being tenacious and patient. That is, if you want 100% accuracy. Of course you may want "good enough" and in that case, you can do it by eye.

Some people, including me, find it easier to grade using the Camera Raw filter in Photoshop, instead of using adjustment layers. Depending on how well you understand how colour works, it may be more intuitive, but it also require that you learn a different way to work. Camera Raw uses the same engine as Lightroom, which is a specialist software for that kind of stuff (it can also do many other things!)

You can have an overview here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx8U4AeeQmA

https://petapixel.com/how-to-use-camera-raw-filter-in-photoshop/

https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/using/video/introduction-camera-raw-video.html

You can do exactly the same using Photoshop standard tools, but personnally I find it less fiddly to use Camera Raw. Also, automatic masks in Camera Raw are, IMHO, more precise than in Photoshop.

So that's something less to worry about 🙂

[thorny hemlock]

let me se thank you

[vernal field]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @ruby jackal (current: #6 - 983)

[ruby jackal]

No worries, I know that it can feel overwhelming as I feed you with stuff.
The key is to take it slowly and steadily. It's a cool skill to have by the way .

[thorny hemlock]

problem is its not just for 1 pic i like to do this same type color in all my AI pic.. so i try some but each time color look different

[ruby jackal]

Something that is nice in Camera Raw is that you can save your settings as presets and apply them to a whole batch of images in one click (Provided that the starting colour is similar)
That's why it's a cool asset to have, you may spend one hour doing the first one, but once saved, you can colour correct 100 images in one click

[thorny hemlock]

oh nice let see how to do that then 🙂 thank you

[pure edge]

Hi all, I've got a problem and I'm out of my depth.

this is the logo for mine and my wifes company. basically I need it turned into a vector, so it can go to a printer. how can I do this or can someone help

[river furnace]

It needs to be traced to vector shapes. Doing it automatically from this file would be a mistake because of the rough edges. That means someone would have to trace/create it by hand. Not trivial.

[pure edge]

figured 😦 where can I find a freelancer to do it? on this server?

[river furnace]

Maybe. You've asked here. Wait and see if anyone responds.

Or you can try Behance Hire. https://behance.net/hire

[pure edge]

ok, thanks

I've just ordered a load of printing and went to upload the LOGO and realised i've lost the original

[river furnace]

When you find someone to do it, get them to provide the vector artwork in Adobe Illustrator (.ai) and Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg) formats.

DM

[vocal niche]

I joined here to see if anyone may be able to help with something. I scan many images and then I have to go in and manually crop those images because the edges sometimes have small rips or the scan is not perfect and I need to precisely crop the edges. Is there any program or anything in Adobe that will perform this precise cropping type of work?

I have some familiarity with photoshop, I have batches that I automate for other processes. I understand the program pretty well, I just can't imagine a precise cropping tool other than perhaps some kind of AI program

[river furnace]

If they're at the same size/aspect ratio, I imagine you could automate a cropping Action. But if you're referring to modifying images of different sizes, resolutions and aspect ratios, I don't think so. Even using AI, I don't know of any bulletproof way of achieving that short of training your own model to do it. This is not trivial and likely would be a colossal effort.

[vocal niche]

Thank you so much. Yes, I understand and I agree it seems to be near impossible to find something to do this kind of work, other than a human being of course. The images are ROUGHLY the same size, but not precisely.

[vernal field]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @river furnace (current: #2 - 2960)

[vocal niche]

Are you suggesting that if they are the same size you could automate to crop to a specific size on say one side of the image?

[river furnace]

I was hinting at perhaps writing an Action that buffered a selection on the inside of the canvas (however many pixels) and then cropped at that selection. Then saved as a new file.

This is not a one-size-fits-all approach unless you don't care about edges being trimmed all around the canvas.

[vocal niche]

OK I understand. I think I might run into problems because the side which needs cropping is never constant; it is random. A scan can have a really bad gap at the top, or a tear at the left side, or both, or neither....etc

[river furnace]

Theoretically, you could create different Actions for each instance but I don't know if it would work for your situation. I'm just spit-balling here.

[vocal niche]

Right, yeah, thank you. I am in a tough spot with this unfortunately. I have sometimes over 200 scanned images and I need to be able to batch them all at once and cropped. I suppose the only method is like what you said, but to crop all four sides of the image so as to try and fix whatever errors there may have been

But then I am losing some of the image where there otherwise may not have been an error....I will keep brainstorming this but I feel at a loss

[river furnace]

Its do-able. I think doing it arbitrarily you might lose some portions of the image that are "good."

[vocal niche]

Right, exactly

[river furnace]

Put on your headphones. Crank up the tunes. Start croppin' :)

(Manually)

[vocal niche]

Hahaha yes unfortunately manually doing it has been the way I have been working for 5 years

Now with the AI stuff out there I thought maybe this could be possible

[river furnace]

There might be. Not in the Adobeverse that I know of. Even generally, I haven't seen an AI that crops or repairs edges. Just ones that attempt to repair entire old photos. But then, you tend to lose things or gain things that are 'hallunciated' in the generated image.

[vocal niche]

Right. Yeah, I will shop around and see if maybe some service out there can do something more in line with what I need. I appreciate the help D. Humann!

[river furnace]

Good luck with it!

[vocal niche]

lol, go ahead. Turtle was my given name, but I've honestly always felt like a Dbl-D.

[river furnace]

With?

[shut tartan]

Simple pic editing

[river furnace]

Yes but describe the type of "help" you're asking for. You want to learn how to make something or you're looking for someone to make something or you?

[strange ore]

hey guys i have a question what is this style called where you turn a photo into 100% of one color like this image so i can ask youtube on how i can do it

they turned the gun here into full white

[river furnace]

I'm not sure there is a name for that "style" so to speak. Its more of a silhouette really.

Just an outline or profile of a shape.

[shut tartan]

It's very simple let's dm

[strange ore]

thank you silhouette was the word i needeed

[shut tartan]

@river furnace

Help me out

[river furnace]

I'm not offering to do any work for you. I'm asking you to clarify what it is that you wanted here.

[shut tartan]

Can't you do it for me it's a simple task I am not good at editing tho

[river furnace]

No. I cannot. Sorry.

[shut tartan]

Why not

[river furnace]

Because I'm busy doing something else.

[shut tartan]

It's a 5 mins work check dm

[river furnace]

No thanks.

@shut tartan - Please don't DM me. I'm not interested in working on this. Sorry.

[shut tartan]

Alright

[timid idol]

Hey fellas!

Anyone interested in a quick funny project? L

Probably take 30 seconds 🤣

[river furnace]

I love how people turn up here asking for free work and stating how long something is going to take to complete.

"Dude... its 5 minutes." Then there is like 2 hours of back and forth.

[timid idol]

Free? Who asked for free?

[river furnace]

Not necessarily you. Just in general.

[timid idol]

Lol. Legit mibe is just a joke and it would take someone 30 seconds lol

Because it doesn't even have to be good 🤣

[river furnace]

Its more about minimizing people's efforts. Taking things for granted. Making assumptions.

[timid idol]

None of which I did

[river furnace]

Please describe this "30 second job" for us.

[timid idol]

Put an image.... on a desk... that's it lol

I'll even provide the images that have already been cropped lol. Just need resized put on desk lol

Normally I'd do it but I'm camping lol

[shut tartan]

Where are all the good people?

[river furnace]

Perhaps they're already working on things and don't have time to drop everything they're doing to work on other projects.

The presumptuousness on Discord is amazing.

[inner hemlock]

Firefly can be hilarious. prompt: "mockup for a wall painting"

[river furnace]

You'll likely want to state "flat" or "straight on view" or something similar.

[shut tartan]

Yeah unlike someone pretending to be busy typing away on cord

[river furnace]

Excuse me? I'm here to help people who want to learn Photoshop and computer graphics. I'm not here to work on every project request that people have. Sorry that doesn't meet with your expectations.

[inner hemlock]

I actually happen to want it slightly angled because it only takes a little more time and I'm hoping it will make it stand out as people usually do have it straight on view.

[inner hemlock]

I also pretend to be busy typing away on firefly

[river furnace]

Again. The presumptuousness is amazing.

[shut tartan]

mom told me to be straightforward

[river furnace]

"I'm entitled to demand that you work on my project."

You can make project requests here. If someone is interested in doing it, they might reach out to you. They might not. There are no guarantees.

[timid idol]

Humann honestly it's how you type to people. You type with a very aggressive tone.

Perhaps english isn't your first language so people are taking you wrong?

[river furnace]

No. Its the presumption that people have the right to demand things of other people stating, "Just do it. It'll take you 5 minutes."

[timid idol]

I thought u came off rude to me, but I don't have time to call people out.

Ok. You do nothing wrong. 🙃

I was just trying to help.

[river furnace]

I never heard even a "please" out of anyone making said requests. The statement was "Help me out." Which sounds like a command.

[timid idol]

Ok fine. Humann can you please type with less aggression?

[river furnace]

I can't promise anything. Can you please make your request in a way that shows respect for people's time and effort? If someone is interested in working on it, they might reach out to you.

[shut tartan]

Yeah stop being overly sensitive and passive aggressive

[timid idol]

Nevermind. I'm just going to block you. You are clearly a narcissist. Have a nice life

[shut tartan]

Fr

[river furnace]

The server exists to help people with Photoshop, learn computer graphics, etc. It doesn't exist to take on free work for every person who turns up here. People will occasionally do the work but there are no guarantees.

[shut tartan]

He is narcissistic

[timid idol]

@shut tartan I apologize for his behavior. He has serious mental illness that has been left untreated. I can't help you right now, but if you add me I can help you on Sunday.

[river furnace]

If you want to be insulting, you can leave.

[shut tartan]

Thanks

[timid idol]

You're welcome. It's sad that people on the internet cannot be nice. I think it's a result of them not having human to human interaction often from being on computers too much.

I just block them and move on 🙂

[shut tartan]

“please don't dm me" sounds fair but gives the vibe of a karen saying “please don't approach me" when you are just trying to ask a question

[timid idol]

Yep.

Cereiusus. U at a computer by chance? Maybe u can help me out? Lol

[shut tartan]

No I am on my phone

[timid idol]

Lame lol

[shut tartan]

But there are websites where they automatically resize your pics you just have to put in he pixel

[timid idol]

But yeah. I deal with passive aggressive tone like his/hers all the time from opposing counsel. I'm an attorney lol.

Yeah my service is butt cheeks right now lol

[river furnace]

I'm sorry that I don't want to work on your project.

[timid idol]

Or I'd do it

[shut tartan]

Yeah ?

[timid idol]

Yeah haha lol. Wanna throw a couple images on your phone in the websites for me? Lol

[river furnace]

If I could watch people pour soda on their MacBook it would be more entertaining than listening to presumptuous people demand that I work on their projects.

[river furnace]

Also the metaphor is not really accurate at all. If people want to destroy their own stuff, its no business of mine. I would just watch and probably take video of it. :)

[shrewd briar]

@river furnace Listen, this is just a casual question, please don’t take it as rude I always see you online on the server 24 hours a day. Don’t you ever sleep?

[shut tartan]

Lol lol

I thought he was a busy man

[river furnace]

I think you're mistaken.

[fierce cipher]

Hello, i tried doing it by myself for last 2 hours but i never liked the finished product, could someone please help me out? all i need is just change where my friend looks in the picture, his eyes are looking into another way and it doesnt look right

[inner hemlock]

I was thinking it was parallel as in they are illustrating the same abnormal human behavior. But instead of pouring soda they mind boggingly are doing whatever they are doing and then acting like you did something wrong.

[river furnace]

Ah. Well, when you put it like THAT. :)

[river furnace]

Yep. Too busy to work on your project. Sorry. Perhaps @shrewd briar will do it for a modest fee.

[shut tartan]

$1?

[river furnace]

Take that up with them.

[river furnace]

Honestly, I wish they would just do the world a favor and pour soda on their MacBook. That would solve a lot of problems. The average user could only afford to do that once (maybe two times if they have Apple Care) but things would sort themselves out quickly. :)

[inner hemlock]

It's baffiling because it's like different usernames that all have the same personality.

[river furnace]

Its probably the same people coming back with [slightly] different accounts/display names.

[inner hemlock]

That wouldn't surprise me

[flint sail]

Everyone who posts here has confirmed the rules of the server - and thus that he or she has read the rules. I keep missing the addition in the rules that requests are tolerated at best. This would very quickly reduce many such discussions.

In any case: many thanks @river furnace for your tireless voluntary unpaid work and assistance here on the server.

Also, why am I always here? Because people are constantly pinging me with questions or DM-ing me to work on their "5 minute projects. "

And if I may... I've worked on thousands of projects over many years (what is it 7 years now?) They always end up taking 5 hours when you account for all of the back and forth conversations required to satisfy them. I don't take any payment for helping people. They are generally unappreciative of the effort. Maybe 1% are truly courteous, kind and appreciative of the time people spend helping them.

Not sure I understand the question. What are you wanting to do exactly?

[merry rain]

Just someone that knows how to edit pictures professionally like this. I'm trying to make a edit for my Dragon OC

[cedar rivet]

I would like to know what you use and how you do it because I would like to become a graphic designer for esport teams.

What tips pls?

[river furnace]

I still don't really understand what it is that you're asking. Sorry.

[river furnace]

We use Photoshop here. Also Adobe Illustrator for vector graphics. The biggest tip is start learning those apps.

[cedar rivet]

animations?

[shy pulsar]

When I auto-blend layers they turn very shadow and crash my work

I'm very new

[keen zenith]

how much RAM have you assigned to Photoshop?

check here: Edit > Preferences > Performance

memory usage*

[shy pulsar]

Let me see

[keen zenith]

might not be a RAM issue then..

maybe try resetting the preferences..

[shy pulsar]

I do

[keen zenith]

also check how much scratch disk space you've left

[shy pulsar]

What about here ?

[keen zenith]

nothing to do with your problem

..check if you’re auto-blending weird layer types like different blend modes or adjustment layers… try flattening copies first or doing it on smart objects… also keep an eye on RAM usage in task manager while blending

[shy pulsar]

Ok

Thank you so much for help

[keen zenith]

One last thing you could try.. go to Edit > Preferences > Performance, and uncheck the ‘Use Graphics Processor’ option on the right...Then restart Photoshop and try auto-blending again.

[keen zenith]

good luck.. :)

[river furnace]

@fast gazelle - You cannot advertise products/services/servers here.

PS generator understand that books would be more interesting if they were hexagons

[river furnace]

An interesting challenge for the printer/binder. They have to hire physicists. :)

[native spear]

hi i'm new to ps. i have a problem where when i try to crop a picture with a crop tool, it just crop all the thing in the canvas. How do i fix that?

[river furnace]

That's what the Crop Tool does. It crops the entire canvas.

[native spear]

oo what do i use to crop just 1 picture not all

[river furnace]

Make a selection. Then use a Layer Mask.

[native spear]

oo okay thankyouu

[river furnace]

One moment

[river furnace]

There are actually several ways to do this. This is one method.

[native spear]

wow tyty it works

[scenic jetty]

how do i delete everything outside the visible area of the layer

[keen zenith]

can you elaborate what you're trying to do?

[river furnace]

For every layer or just one?

[keen zenith]

are you trying to say.. delete the transparent pixels outside visible content?.. or something like that

[river furnace]

Sounds like the "big data" portion that can live outside of the canvas boundaries.

[keen zenith]

hidden part of the layer? outside canvas

oh yeah

[river furnace]

Right. Pixels can be outside of the canvas boundary. Some don't really realize it until they use like a Camera Raw filter and then they see "all of the pixels"

[keen zenith]

umm so he can.. just crop the whole document.. yeah that's one solution

or layer specific?.. you don't want to do that if you've 50 layers on your canvas👀

[merry rain]

@keen zenith I love ur pfo

[keen zenith]

profile picture?

[scenic jetty]

like this, i cut the background so it fits on my frame, but the rest of the image which stays outside of the visible area stays there and its awkward

[keen zenith]

i'm sorry i'm bad at the short names for things..

thank you ❤️

[merry rain]

Yea your Account pic. I always refer to account Pics that way

[keen zenith]

yes thank you :)

[river furnace]

You don't really "crop" that you either have to mask it or delete it.

[merry rain]

If u wanna see my HTTYD OC I can DM u a pic of her

[scenic jetty]

yeah i'm trying to delete but i cant

[keen zenith]

ok i'd love to see :)

[river furnace]

Draw a selection box around it and hit the Delete Key?

[keen zenith]

yeah selection box.. hit ctrl+shift+i to inverse the selection and hit delete

[river furnace]

@scenic jetty - We can continue in #❓ask-a-question so people can chat in here.

(unless you already got it)

[flint sail]

Select all in this layer or create a selection box - Crop - Enlarge the canvas (if necessary)

Note: does not work with smart objects

[scenic jetty]

worry no more bros, i found a way that works fine for myself

i select the desired crop, cut it, paste in a new layer and delete the previous

[river furnace]

That's a viable way to do it as well. Nice work. :)

[river furnace]

@atomic yarrow - How many times do I have to tell you to not keep posting the same thing?

[river furnace]

I had a 50/50 chance you were married. haha

[inner hemlock]

I am -100% married at this moment.

[river furnace]

Ministry of Love was the first Ministry name that came to mind when I saw the book title. :)

nope havent tried both of them

[ripe quarry]

hey

is there anyway i could get photoshop for free? with like old/discontinued versions? instead of the free trials

[river furnace]

You might be able to get Photoshop CS6 for free somewhere. But I don't know.

[ripe quarry]

okay

[ripe quarry]

im scared that i get viruses can u give me a link to a trusted website?

[river furnace]

I don't know of any. Sorry.

There used to be an old repo of CS6 but I don't think Adobe does that anymore.

[inner hemlock]

I would suggest the free web based Photopea. If you ever upgrade to PS the similarities are shocking, but the differences make it worth it. I think even the shortcuts are the same.

[ripe quarry]

i already tried it its full of ads

[inner hemlock]

lol @ pfp

[upbeat brook]

What did the rope say when it got tangled?

I'm trying to setup "typing" with my Wacom tablet and Google got me this far but I feel like I'm missing an option to select

And when I select "when a keyboard isn't attached" nothing happens, even when I disconnect my keyboard.

Hmm. It should just appear automagically. Mine does. I didn't set anything.

I remember that being an happening back in my peasant days writing on a tablet with only 4k units of sensitivity, and I think I disabled something because it annoyed me for some reason. Popping up when it was undesired.

Hi, do anyone know how to make the gradient map just around the text or crop it to a shape around it? not the entire layer

i try making a selection and use a layer mask but this method doesnt work hmm

[ruby jackal]

Thanks!

[vernal field]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to @keen zenith (current: #99 - 19)

[ruby jackal]

You need to mask the text so the gradient mask doesn't affect it. That means in short fill the mask area of the gradient map with black, in the shape of youur text (and any other area you may not want touched by it)

Masking is THE technique one needs to understand to even remotely be proficient in Photoshop, it's like the base of everything. Here is a tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqqVmGxvHaY
But be sure you also take a look at the tutorials inside Photoshop itself, by going to Help>hands on tutorials and type "mask" in the search field

[native spear]

oo ok thanks i will try it

[keen zenith]

another GOAT mod... Ngl

[real whale]

Could anyone teach me abt adobe photoshop ?

I will really appreciate ☺️

DM me

[keen zenith]

Hey! If you're just getting started with Adobe Photoshop..a good first step is to explore the basic tools in the toolbar on the left...Try them out on a test image and observe how each one affects it, this hands on approach will help you build a strong foundation..

You can also use Ctrl + F within Photoshop to quickly search for explanations and tool references...if you're ever unsure about how to approach something or need guidance on a specific task or project feel free to ask here..the community is always happy to help...
And when you're ready YouTube has plenty of beginner tutorials that cover the essentials step by step...They’re a great supplement when learning on your own...

wishing you the best on your photoshop journey!🙌

[real whale]

Yep ik but still 😊

[rotund sky]

what happened lolz

[inner hemlock]

Is it worth manually controlling the aperature, shutter speed and ISO on a legit camera? The only thing I know how to do is do auto but get the raw file to supposedly better edit it in PS/LR but I'm even skeptical on that. (I'm very new to "cameraing") I just know enough to know that those 3 things are what's to learn.

[river furnace]

Yes. You should study how these settings are used. They can be important depending on the subject matter you're trying to photograph.

For example, if you're trying to capture something moving, shutter speed is going to be very important.

[dim summit]

guys

how can i make this map look decent

this looks horrorible

[river furnace]

Locate a better image of Jupiter.

[dim summit]

those were the only april 2025 images i found

[river furnace]

So what are you asking then? If you "enhance" this image, you might be changing or creating details that don't actually exist.

[dim summit]

yes

how do i do it

[river furnace]

Do what?

[dim summit]

enhance it so it looks good

[river furnace]

What does "look good" even mean? And why is using an "april 2025" image so important?

Use a different image that looks better. I'm NASA has many

[dim summit]

because i'd like to show how the grs got smaller than earth

[inner hemlock]

Try running it through camera raw filter and pay special attention to the noise, sharpness parameters. That might help.

[river furnace]

Put it through Camera Raw, trying to adjust the brightness, contrast, etc.

[dim summit]

how to do that

[inner hemlock]

jinx

[river furnace]

Select the Layer. Go to Filter > Convert for Smart Filters. Then Filter > Camera Raw.

[dim summit]

did it

i need to change the color of one of them

[ripe quarry]

is it because the adibe servers re doing the j*b

and not ur computer

u know ai needs a big ass powerfull server to function right?

rip u will see smoke coming from that gpu or u will get some mr smith eating spaghetti ai

wait can u show me ur build

lol

btw do u know where i can find photoshop cs6 for free?

[chilly kernel]

You can't at least not officialy

[ripe quarry]

why would i get cs6 unofficialy but not the 2025 version

[chilly kernel]

they removed cs6 from launcher

Well, you're not likely to get the CEO on the line so maybe shoot for someone a bit lower in the food chain. :)

In all seriousness, Adobe's Moderation for Gen Fill leaves a lot to be desired. Particularly when it comes to skin. It misinterprets images and just plain fails due to how strict they've set it. It needs work for sure.

im gonna sacrafice my pc and download photoshop from sketchy sites

[river furnace]

Good luck. Don't discuss piracy here or I'll have to remove you.

Interesting. They might be using a different version of the default model. Difficult to know. They don't tell us that sort of thing. So, can't confirm.

Very gracious of you.

[chilly kernel]

[river furnace]

The display names and pfps change but the insanity remains the same.

[river furnace]

I wouldn't advise drinking before cleaning the internals of a PC. :)

[spark plank]

XD

yeah, so today no cleaning boys

anyways

is there any such a tool to fix it?

[river furnace]

You can try to paint over the areas with the Remove Tool but its probably going to be a bit of work.

[spark plank]

it will be helpfull in the future tho to know how to do it

[chilly kernel]

I would try hoover with brush, but still i would turn off pc while doing this

[spark plank]

that's when its wet

ah nvm rice fix everything

[chilly kernel]

btw that SSD hanging on cables is giving me PTSD 😂

[spark plank]

XD

[river furnace]

You read my mind.

[spark plank]

[river furnace]

Dust is the least of your worries if the drive is flopping around.

[spark plank]

ily

btw as you can see

im selling this pc

and considering buying laptop

any recomendations for under 2000$?

[river furnace]

Not especially. I would have to do the research.

[spark plank]

Apple MacBook Air 13" M4 10-core CPU + 10-core GPU / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD

found smth like this

im lifetime win user so that will be hard for me

but mac os are better for this type of work no?

[river furnace]

Well...

Describe "this type of work" that you're doing.

I think you'd get more bang for your buck with a Windows laptop.

[spark plank]

bang?

[river furnace]

Its a figure of speech.

[chilly kernel]

better value for money

[spark plank]

im doing vector graphics mainly

and i want to start video editing too so im looking for smth that can handle it too

[chilly kernel]

I was using macbook pro m3 for around a year and photoshop worked really nice at least for my needs, game textures and material creation, hardest part was to get used to macos and gestures and apple way of doing things

[keen zenith]

You need to watch your finger girth. :)

Anyway

[keen zenith]

Take care gurl

[river furnace]

Sleep well, Santa. Get some rest. Only 171 days til Christmas. heh

[keen zenith]

Aye @flint sail .. i can remind you.. I'm not alone👀

[inner hemlock]

If you where upgrading your setup would you go for a second matching ~27inch monitor or a budget ~40inch tv.

[river furnace]

I'd want better screen quality, even if it were smaller.

[inner hemlock]

A large portion of me wanting the tv is so the text in After Effects/After Effects tutorials is larger. Everything is tiny at least how I got it setup now on my 27'' and default After Effects settings that I'm sure could be manipulated

[river furnace]

You're also speaking to someone who shelled out the insane cost to buy a 32" Wacom Pro so... there's that. :)

[river furnace]

If you don't care about details and color accuracy and display size is more important then the TV is probably better.

[inner hemlock]

Did you upgrade from screenless or just go straight into a screened tablet?

[river furnace]

Some of these TVs are pretty good anyways

[river furnace]

I started with a Cintiq 16. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend that. I wish I hadn't purchased it.

If you're going to get a tablet with a display, make sure you can really see it. 1920x1080 on 16" screen is a hassle. Especially if you wear glasses to begin with.

[inner hemlock]

Lifehack:

Too poor for Google/Facebook glasses or whatever VR glasses/goggles are out now to Photoshop in VR? Take glasses off.
Boom, gaussian blur IRL.

Hello I am new in this field

Any tips?

[river furnace]

Hello. In regards to Photoshop, Layer Masks are one of the single most important features in the app. Knowing how to use them effectively is crucial.

[warm forum]

I currently don't know anything.

[spark plank]

[ripe quarry]

who has an account on the admin console?

and can add me i just want photoshop

[inner hemlock]

Are 50" TV's too big to use as a computer monitor? I see some 4k resolution ones for under $200 (which to me is kinda a crazy deal as I paid more for my "budget phone" and I don't have 4k yet). My thought is I want to move my mouse, but not move my neck too (if it's too big).

[river furnace]

How close are you going to sit at it? 40 is pushing it. heh

[inner hemlock]

My setup is far from setup in stone. But I was planning on having it on my desk close enough to where I could hold out my arm and touch it. (I am short though).

30 inches from my face to be specific lol (found my tape measure)

[true charm]

hell nah thats would be to big

[inner hemlock]

Also even though I'm just a peasant to you with my screenless large intuous pro it is still pretty much my prized possession. It's kinda crazy how it's almost as big as my monitor

[river furnace]

Not sure why you would say that. In many ways I regret buying the Pro.

I also regret buying the Cintiq 16.

Large, non-display is definitely the way to go.

[inner hemlock]

For the value, I'm sure of it. But when I start buying my own electricity I'm probably gonna be hunting for a used/open box screened tablet. But I honestly like my tablet almost as much as I liked a dog I had lol.

does anyone know how to unswirl faces

[abstract palm]

Well idk what do u mean by that

[swift jackal]

like there was a swirl distortion, and i need the swirl removed so i can see the original face behind the photo

[abstract palm]

Well there is an liquify in Photoshop but even with that I think it's pretty much impossible

[tiny hull]

Hey guys, i'm new here.. i was trying to 'program' an action in Photoshop to make my job easier hahah, but i'm having a lil bit of trouble in getting it to run correctly, idk what's happening with it, but anyone willing to help via VC?

[tiny hull]

The swirl distortion is really hard to 'unswirl', if it's even possible

[graceful summit]

Hi, I don’t do DMs or VC, can you describe the problem? Many of us can help you here and it could benefit the community at large.

[tiny hull]

Basically, im trying to frame some images into a 10x15 mask, and im trying to steamline it with an action, but idk whats going wrong

it just closes the 10x15 file and the images just start overlapping on each other

so i dont really know what is going wrong with the action

hi are blending options available for iphone?

[graceful summit]

Like knockout or the blend if sliders? It would be surprising.

[wheat plume]

like stroke, gradient overlay

[graceful summit]

How are you operating?
Open the mask image?
Would crop work?how many images need to be processed? Using a smart object would work or not?
How are you applying it on multiple images?
Using batch? Using image processor? How are you

[tiny hull]

Im selecting the image that needs to be framed, copy it, select the frame, paste, resize it (all images have the same size), merge the layers, save, select again the previous image file, close it, these are the commands

Im using batch, and i need to process 125 images

idk if using a smart object would work cuz i dont really know what it is lol
