Webmaster Tracker :: There are Better Ways to Search!

This is major irritation when you have to drill down through different servers/directories all the time when saving different files.Â The "recent" folder does an ok job but you still have to search through the contents to find the directory you need...and isn't always there.

I'm wondering why Adobe did away with the ability to setup favorites in this dialog box.Â What gives?Â Might have seemed trivial but it's important when in a production environment as seconds matter a great deal. Any clues or suggestions?

In photoshop I made a 400 by 400 area and made a small button.

Now that I have the button I am stuck!

1. What is the best way/ways to crop just a bit around this button to save it as an image file?

2. if I need to make more buttons with different text, do I need new files or can I use one file and change text and save-as each time?

3. how can I crop exactly the same area around the button to make sure when I use these images on a html page,they align exactly in the same spot?

I have a JPG image that I want to edit with photoshop 7. I know that if I edit directly the JPG image and save again as new JPG image, the quality of the new saved image will be degraded. Experienced user know that because JPG is a lossy format.

I want to retain the quality of the edited image. Then I heard that the TIFF format is a lossless format that support compression.

i closed my pallet/styles box which i have never closed and have no clue how to reopen it. as my nephew is 4yrs old he wasn't of much help either. i can find nothing anywhere in photoshop CS2 version that allows me to reopen that or any other box that normally is there when i open the program.

How does one make the border of the picture blurry like this?

I have an logo that has a brown background and a white foreground. How do I swap around the colours so that the background becomes white and the foreground becomes brown? Also is it possible to replace one colour with another colour. I am currently using Photoshop 6.

CS3 I cannot get the image processor to process the changes made in camera raw anymore. The images are opened up but then saved into the new folder without any crops or adjustments made. I have tried copying the script from another computer, but to no avail. I have tried reinstalling/repairing CS#, I have tried resetting preferences. I am really stumped on this one.

I tried to install CS4 Extended Upgrade, and when it asks what previous version I have, the only version that is listed is CS3 Extended. I have Photoshop CS. How do I go about upgrading? I hope I purchased the proper version, as there is no mention of prerequisite versions on the outside of the package OR on the inside.

how you make a straight line in Photoshop?

I have a custom filter that I'm trying to use that has this awesome effect, but I have a lot of pictures. Is there some way I can use the batch option to apply this filter or would I have to do each picture one by one.

I'm running CS2 on Windows XP and using Nikon cameras (D70 and D2Xs). Until 11/21/08, I could use Windows Explorer to display the "Date Taken" information for files in the processed JPG directories. Something changed on that date and JPG files created since then no longer display the information, but the EXIF is intact (can see in Bridge, CS2, and when uploaded to Smugmug).

That may have been when I realized the time inside the camera hadn't changed for DST, or it was when I downloaded an update to CS2 from Adobe. (I believe it had to do with camera RAW files.) I'm most suspicious of the CS2 update since neither camera will display the date created in Windows Explorer after 11/20/08.

I'm hoping that someone here has experienced the same thing and can tell me how to get this information to display again.

I downloaded a gif and opened it in Image Ready and proceeded to modify the nine frames it had to show a different face than the one it had.

After every frame mod I ran it in ImageReady to make sure it was working ok.

Once I had completed the mod I ran it again and it worked perfectly I then "Save Optimized As" and gave it a title and downloaded it to my desktop.

From there I opened it up in Safari to see if it worked ok and it worked but the face which had been so clear in ImageReady was now all spreckled with dots.

I tried to open it in ImageReady again and got the same results it was now spreckled with dots.

The original image was a black and white and the face I added was in colour but not sure if that would cause a problem seeing as it worked ok in ImageReady. I have added 2 pics so you can see the difference.

I am using a G4 Mac with PS-CS2

I want to animate the aura around the text, to make it appear that the aura is blowing in the wind, in random directions.

I want to make the white longer and the blue shorter.

The enclosed file is not animated. Could not find one.

I get a series of X's with boxes instead of Thai characters. The characters are fine in other applications, including Flash CS3. Other than taking a screenshot in another app and pasting into Photoshop, does anyone know of a workaround? Should I install a particular Thai font that is supported by Photoshop? I am running Photoshop CS3 Extended on Windows XP.

I am in PS 7 (Yeah my knuckles drag a little but I can't afford to upgrade)

Everything works great until I try to save the image, then it freezes but not completely.

I can still move around but all of the menu items are dead and nothing works.

I have re installed 6 times and still the same.

I'm working in house for a company on a website that requires graphics similar to the glass bubble effects that are used on Apple's website.

Is there a simple technique to dreate these graphics? Better still is there a downloadable plugin?

as the glass bubble effect is a bit old-hat now...

I've been using photoshop 7

They often ask you to duplicate a layer and change it's mode to Vivid Light or Lighten or something like that. I have been selecting the layer and changing it from the drop down menu on the layer pallette but it doesn't seem to change anything? It doesn't affect it the way its supposed to...nothing really happens.

if there was a way to disable the hotkeys that PSP7 provides. Occasionally when I'm using PSP, I dont know what I click, but the hotkeys are activated. Its a hassle trying to use the text feature and trying to save the file: windows are popping up and toolbars disappear off the screen. The only solution that I've found was to close the program and open it again. I'd rather avoid the hassle of closing all of my files and opening them again.

i am having issues with my clone stamp. it just does NOT work! i alt-click to assign the area and then click where i want it to cover, and NOTHING happens. I use CS at work and v6.0 at home. v6 works fine and, at work, CS doesnt work.

Everytime I open PS and a picture 'Extras' is enabled (view).

I must press CTRL + H to remove this everytime.

How can I make this NOT on default?

Unselected layers are creating parameters (or some sort of masking issue) on the selected layer. For an example. When I paint bucket a layer it will paint everything except.

I need to create a transparent screen protector kind of effect in Photoshop. Pls check the attachment for the effect. I will be greatful if anybody can suggest any tutorials or photoshop filters which can achieve this or a similar kind of effect.

I am using CS3.

I entered the following key sequence: Adjustments Panel | Levels | Alt-Click Auto | Find Dark & Light Colors | Snap Neutral Midtones | Midtones After keying in this sequence and making adjustments to my photo, I inadvertently hit one too many OKs as I was exiting and PS changed my defaults. They now read: H: 55, S:0, B: 0, R: 128, G: 128 and B: 128. How can I reset these values to their default settings?

I live most of the year in one place and have CS3 installed on the desktop and the laptop for travel. BUT we spend a month or two at another location where I also have a desktop and good monitor. Do I have to suspend or uninstall CS3 on the desktop at the original location in order to be able to use it on the desktop at the other location? I would hate to have to reset all preferences, etc when I come back to the original location.

I was traying to do a frozen text.

I go to the color palette and click at the top right of the palette and a menu appears the with options like grayscale sliders, RGB Sliders, HSB slider, CMYK Sliders, Lab sliders, and HTML sliders the online one on is the Grayscale sliders after that all of them are off The layer menu is off completely, and some other features in the photoshop cs3, and when I go and save the file the GIF, JEGP and all other common formats are off, I can't save the file on those formats because psp, photoshop pdf and other that I am not interested on. I want gif, jegp etc. I have just realize that when I created a new documents I might put it in the grayscale mode only.

I'm running CS3PRO - WIN XPsp2 on a Dell6400 - 2G Ram and lots of disk space. I've got all the latest patches for XP & CS3. I open a 20kb jpg image. Select the text tool, draw and area then the screen blinks, all the menues are gone and I get the not responding message. I've tried closing all other apps including anti virus and firwalls.

I'm editing a photo of my friend playing a musical instrument. The photo is completely black except for him and the picture is of his profile. I want to add realistic stage lights without the corney lensflare effect. The lights would be added to appear as if the camera is looking right into them.

Does anyone know where I can purchase an earlier version of Photoshop? Maybe PS 7.0. Because I simply cannot afford the latest version (CS2 I think). I use 7.0 a lot at school and really like it. If I could get CS2, I would but it would take me ages to save up for it on what I'm earning.

A related question: A printing press can usually handle a multitude of formats, right?

I'd like to make a Christmas image with my cat in it. I would print it out and glue it inside my Christmas cards. I know how to Extract - in a primitive kind of way (without using channels)... so I can extract my cat and put a Santa hat on him. However, it's difficult to find a nice Christmas image and I'm not a pro using PS.

After I open the image it is very dark in Photoshop but OK in ImageReady.

I never had an issue with this in previous versions of PS - which seemed to remember what I wanted - but with CS4, it aint sticking.

I'm trying to make a poster in photoshop as a X-mas gift for a friend (he's a huge MJ fan) and I was wondering if I need to change any settings or maybe there's some type of rule or guidline I would need to follow.

The size is 36in x 24in

Would I have to change the color modes or DPI.

I have created many images for my new website and they all look crisp and clean in .psd format but when i save them to .gif they become slightly jagged around the edges which are not straight.

I have tried .png format but this has a mask over the image when viewed on the site. Also .jpg images are to big for websites i thought?

What is the best image format and if it is .gif which i have been previously informed to use how do i stop the rounded edges from becoming jagged?

Does anyone know how to make a paper clip in Photoshop or can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to make one?

In Windows Me and XP, there is new screensaver, the My Pictures slideshow. By default this screensaver create a slide show front the picture you have in you My Pictures folder...

Digital files: 300 dpi
Shadow Dot: 87

How do I set the Shadow dot and Highlight dot?

And where can I change the dpi?

And how do I set the Line Screen?

I am trying to use the cloning feature but it does not seem to be working. It was working fine when I last used it. I don't know if I am not doing sth right. I am new to Photoshop and I am thinking it might be sth simple that I do not know.

When you do a website with photoshop... do you put the text on the image or do you create a layer and put it on top of the images?

I'm trying to do is create a new background that is 4x6 then I want to drag and drop a photo onto it that is 4x6. When I do the photo is much smaller than the new background.

I am taking stills from an animation of a land based radar setup for monitoring sea ice. In photoshop, I use the path tool to delineate the edge of the landfast ice, and I want to save the line only with the pixel coordinates, so I can put that line on any image from the animations and it will be in the same place.

how to build this kind of logos (mainly this kind of text effects)

it could be "glowing", "shading" and "lighting reflection"

This has been driving me crazy since the new CS3 version came out. In the old days when I wanted to find the layer my element was on, I'd ctrl-click it (PC) and bang, that layer would be active. One of the most useful shortcuts ever invented...

Which is why Adobe had to go and screw with it. Now all that does is give you the folder, which is useless to me - I often will have 30-40 folders, those having many subfolders and many layers.

The lame replacement I have seen is "oh, click the palette icon of the layer" - which makes NO sense because *I don't know what the layer is* - that's the info I am trying to find out!

I want to create an animated gif that basically has a fireworks display and some text,

I have been given some CHA files which I understand to be channel mixer settings, where do I install them to, do I need to put them in a specific place or can I just load them by browsing? Also how would I go about creating a CHA file myself?

(theres 13 alltogether for different B+W settings)

I want to add lighting effects to photos, but the result always darkens the photo everywhere except where I set the new lighting, as if I turned the lights out and hit the image with a flashlight (or whatever other lighting type I choose.) Will the lighting filter just ADD the lighting effect without affecting the rest of the original picture? Something like a HIGHLIGHT? Or EXTRA lighting to the image?

I have many catalogs exist in the form of image files, my task is translate these catalog into my country language, so I want to ask, can Photoshop recognizes texts in image and has for me some ways to replace them by my texts ?

This was originally create in Corel I think, how could this be done in photoshop?

I'd like to make my own brushes and textures in Photoshop 6 but I have no idea how to do it. I get to the define custom brush stuff but it only makes veugly rounded brushes for me. Can anyone help? I'm sure its easy enough once you know how to do it. I just don't.

I'm having a huge issue in designing my up and coming website.

I've numerous layers within my soon to be designed page - however, a few of these layers are set to different blend modes (Overlay, Screen and Lighten).

I need to ensure that these layers remain looking the way they do on my page when they're part of my flattened site, but it's just not working for me. When I flatten all layers, it looks as I want it - however I can't do that, as I will ultimately be using a tiled background layer, and the background layer I'm using now is only as a guide.

how I can merge down a ('Screen', for example) layer, without it losing its screen look?

saving my new styles in the styles palet. Everytime i save a style like the blue glass button i have just created it saves it but not as the colour it is just as a grey box which wen applied to another image that i wish to create the same effect on - it simply applys a grey covering to the image not the 3D blue glass button effect i was hoping for. Any ideas please???? Im doing this by clicking on the create new style on the bottom of the styles window (the box that has color/ swatches/styles) on the top of it. I am doing this after i have finished creating the new style that i wish to save. Am i saving the new style/effect.

Anyways; select LINE TOOL, options above are:

Fill Pixels
Line Tool
Weight : 1px
Mode : Normal
Opacity : 100%
Anti-Aliased : No check
Brush Color : Pink

Click on the canvas, hold SHIFT to force a straight line, move towards the bottom of the document, let go of the mouse button, it draws a line straight to my mouse's cursor! I have no other ideas what is causing this.

I am trying to give a background to a Div repeating it on the y direction.

I have been fighting to solve this and I wasn't able to do it ...

I created the image in Photoshop CS3 and exported as gif.

I just want to draw a simple line drawing, then cut out the contour of the drawing (not a rectangle) and paste it into PowerPoint.

I want to create my own "clipart" that can be animated in PowerPoint -- without having the "transparent" rectangle around it -- because the "transparent" rectangle in Photoshop becomes a "white" rectangle when pasted into PowerPoint.

I have an image which once served as a logo which has a letter that I now need to change to another letter. It needs to stay the same color, the same font and everything else and has to, of course, blend as good as it possibly can. It is not a transparent image, the color under the letter is red and the color of the letter is yellow.

when I try to save an image, I go to File/Save but the sotfware kinda get stuck of freeze and it doesn't let me save the picture. Another problem is when I paste a picture in photoshop, looks lighter and when the sotfware its running, a message pops out saying that I have to rerun the color..

I`m using CS and recently developed a teaser. I can`t get the clone tool icon off the screen (when that tool is selected) and return to the size adjustable circle I have used up until now. Caps lock doesn`t help either.

"OPR" has been set up to help people recover damaged photographs from the effects of Hurricane Katrina. If you check out the Operation Photo Rescue Blog that will give you all the information you need. I found the details of how to offer help on Week 5. They ask for various levels of competence in photo restoration and ask you to repair some sample photos so they can assess what level of damaged photos you may be able to fix.

I'm trying to resize some images to a specific Aspect Ratio of 524x250. I was told to divide the height of a image by the width then you get a number and with that number you multiple it by the height then you put that resulting number into the canvas sizes width. It has been a while since I've done this brief calculation and it's not working for me, or I've wrote something down wrong.Â I'd also would like to create an action so photoshop could figure this out automaticlly, basically I'd like to know how to do it manually then how to create an action so it's done automatically ?

ok ive got one picture of a person thats been lassoed and the rest of the picture box is white and i put it on top of a blue background. is there a way to only take out the white part of the first picture in ps or do i have to edit it outside it.

I currently use Photoshop Elements 6 and am looking at an upgrade to PSE7 or CS. The editing superiority of CS over PSE is not going to win me over because frankly I won't use most of it. I hardly take full advantage of what PSE6 has to offer as it is. However one thing about PSE that I don't like is how slowly it performs batch file operations. For example moving images from one location to another or reconnecting "Missing" files is very slow. Also the catalog backup utility is so exceedingly slow that I use SyncToy to backup my photos and catalog data. I have about 30,000 images in my collection, and Iâ€™m not too keen on breaking them up into separate databases. One problem I may have is that I keep my photos on a network store instead of local, but I don't think that accounts for the huge lag times in batch operations. One thing that would get me to spend the extra money for CS is if the database is more responsive (much more responsive) and if it handles batch file operations better (much better).

I don't use smart guides, don't want em don't need em. Don't even know why they originally came on, but can't get them off, no matter how many times un check them.

I wan't to make this header look more realistic, more attractive etc.

I thought that I had saved some photos on my hard drive. I the did load the photos into Iview Media Pro so I do have the thumbnails. Is there anyway to improve the file to a usable size?

I like this painting with texture technique stuff. Have worked (and learned) alot on this one, so I am maybe to close to judge the quality of it.

Cant explain to you the process except I used a texture for crocodile skin, a texture for lizard skin and a lot of different brushes and sizes as well as 5 layers.
I still dont have a handle on the differances between all the brush modes like overlay, linear burn, color dodge etc.....

I wish to add my own textures to the Texture/Texturizer drop down window so that they appear together with Sandstone, Bulap, Canvas, etc. I do not want to use the Load texture, Browse for folder, system as its too fiddly to fit into my actions method of working.

Can I add to the preset textures mentioned above?

If Yes, what is the folder name/ address, and is there a particular method of installing my textures or do I just drag and drop?

I am trying to save a project I'm working on in PDF format with text embedded however when I open the PDF with acrobat all the hyphens which were automatically inserted into my text are changed to the adjacent letter.

I have a template that I need to import a picture into. The template is a fixed size. The picture is much larger. When I use the "Paste Into" feature, only part of the image fits.

How do I import the picture to fill the template? The one time that it worked I'm certain that I used a control ? function.

when i want to increase photoshop ram.. where do i change it.. i always get confused.. in the minimum size or preferd size?

i'm using os X and have 768 memory cards... what is the best size for a best performance? when i work on a poster size 50/70 it hardly moves...

I have two images on two layers, the one which is on the top has a blending mode set to it (hard light for example) and opacity at about 70%.

What I would like to do, is to save that image (which is on the top) so, that every time I combine those two images, I would get the same result. (By combining I mean applying those images on top of each other outside of photoshop.)

The opacity is not a problem - I can save the image as 32 bit bmp (8 bit alpha channel right?)

I am having to throw some text on a logo and realize Illustrator would be the best place to do this (IMO).

I am doing a school project on Photoshop and some of the math behind it. I am focusing on the Hexadecimal Color Picker and how Photoshop calculates the interaction between colors.

Fore example. If I lay down a color on a layer with a brush then change the transfer mode to "Multiply" And then brush over the first color. How does Photoshop calculate the resulting color?

I want to convert a photo (a face) to something like this (attached).

I tried to use the "drawing" effect but it's still looks too real.

does anyone know how i'd be able to make this tree-top shape and the effect that's on the actual tree?

I'm putting images in a web page which has the same background as the image. Problem is, when I save via "Save for web" Photoshop puts a slight 1px Halo around the outside of the image. So when I embed this into the web page it isn't seamless.

I've tried playing with all the gif pref's in the export window, but nothing works.

I just bought and downloaded the CS4 upgrade to CS3 and when I extract eh install file, I get an error message that says there is a problem extracting the files, check for available spacwe and privilidges. When trying to read the extracted .pdf files, Acrobat says that the files are corrupt or not .pdf. When I run the extracted setup file, it creates 2 files and stops with an error message that says " A problem occured when extracting some files. Check available space and write privledges". I have re downloaded the upgrade 3 times and get the same results. I even tried it on my other computer running XP Pro and get the same results....same error message and can no open the included .pdf files due to corruption or?

I got an idea for a tattoo that I am wanting to get and the idea is very vivid in my mind, the problem is that I cannot find any "flash" for what it is that I want. I asked a friend of mine for help as he is a graphic artist, and he suggested I get familiar with Photoshop, so here I am. Here is somewhat of a graphical description of what I am attempting to do...

What I am going for is 3 seperate eagles all merged together (or layered on top of each other) in order to create one single piece for my back. The first eagle will create the center of the design with the second eagle above it and to the left a bit with the third eagle to the back of the first one and below the second to make it all one piece.

What I need to know is what would be the best way for a beginner to start doing all this? I am not a freeloader and am not at all intimidated by doing things myself, just a kick in the right direction should suffice. Thank you all in advance for your support. I know that I need to first get all three images onto the same pallet and extract the heads only (white feathers) from the first two images then merge them all together somehow.

I use to use Elements which has a nice feature to print multiple selected files in many different formats on a page. A selection button lets you print each picture only once so that you can, for example, shoot 60 images to the printer and get 20 pages with three 4x6 on a page. The Picture Package automation in Photoshop does something similar but it's a struggle to print each image only once -- you've got to manually set each page up correctly. how to do this more conveniently? Plugins, etc?

I was wondering if it's worth putting some time and effort into trying to get an ACE qualification in the future.Iv'e looked into it a bit but want to know if it will be a good addition to my CV,or if its not worth the money?

I have created an image (a replica of our company logo) in Photoshop.

The image contains a vibrant blue to darker blue gradient as the background.

This displays correctly in Photoshop, and will print correctly from there.

However, when I try and use the image in another application (for example InDesign, the image is displayed as a faded blue colour.

Attached are 2 files, which are:

ps.jpg - a screenshot of the file in Photoshop
id.jpg - a screenshot of the file in InDesign

I have both Photoshop 5.5 and CS2 installed on my machine.Â The JPEG files all retain the old icon.Â Can someone tell me how to change the icon to the CS2 icon? I am on a PC with Windows XP.

I work for needs to submit a block of fabric with an image of Mt. Rushmore. The plan is to iron it on, however first we have to print the image on the applique backwards, so when we iron it on the fabric the image appears correctly.

There has to be a way to flip the image backwards in Photoshop.

I scanned some hand-written text at very high resolution.

But when I scale it down and print it at high resolution it doesnt appear very sharp. On close inspection I can see slight jaggy anti-aliasing.

How can I make the edges of the text sharper?

I've enclosed a sample.

Also, sometimes I need to use the graphic keyed over another photo.
What is the best way to make it transparent, while still maintaing the sharp edges?

Is there anyway to turn the file into a vector file so I wont have these problems?

I have an image with three layers.

The 2nd layer is a bg duplicate with a mezzotint added for grain.

The 3rd layer is levels adjustment for contrast.

I flatten the image, and then the image flattens, but becomes a bit lighter and washed out looking.

I flatten an image and the flattened images matches excatly what I was seeing before I flattened it.

When I use a brush for anything and I want to increase or decrease the size by using the bracket keys the brush will not increase as large as it did in CS3 and part of the circle disappears leaving a half circle at best.Â Is this due to some plug-ins that I have from NIK or FixerLabs?

I just bought a D90 and I am trying it out with HDR for the first time. I imported the files but they will not show up in PS. They won't even import. I tried converting them to DNG but that failed as well. Does anyone have an Idea on how I can get this to work.

where can I obtain textures or is there a plugin that will allow mw to produce pictures with cracks, dirt, stains etc.
It would be very helpful if I could shoose the opacity and level of decay via a plugin or some other way.

Having used both CS2 and CS3 I now realise that the prints that I work on in either appear much brighter on the screen that they do when printed, as much as 3 stops darker when printed. I have also noticed that in other programs such as Google Picasa that I use as a viewing tool the images appear closer to the images from the printer. I have used various pro-labs that require their profiles to be used and my own epson 3800 printer at home and despite trying lots of different settings I am unable to get prints that look like they do on the screen they are always darker.

I am using windows XP on a dual core 2.4 PC with 2 Gb ram and an ATI Radeon X1600 series grafix card which I have just updated the driver on. The monitor is an LCD type and is calibrated weekly using a spyder 2 express.

I created yesterday all day a complex website design and after I've finished it I saved it and gone to bed. Today, when I woke up and tried to open the PSD it appears a black page with red dots (in the layer box is only a locked layer, with the black image).

I tried to use some PSD recovery and repairing software but they are inefficient. I gave the PSD to a friend and he stayed 5 minutes to wait for loading extensions and fonts (the PSD file is 13MB) and finally it rendered the same black page with red dots.

I just purchased and installed Adobe Illustrator CS4. The first day I used it I had no problem, but now when I open images I get a black screen. Nothing I do causes the image to show. Event though I can see the images in the Layers control panel.

I've made actions in Photoshop before but never really anything other than recording my mouse movements & keystrokes.

Many of the actions i download have many more bells & whistles in them.

I'm really looking to have a msgbox pop up saying ...

eg NOW SET HUE/SAT TO REQUIRED SETTINGS
& have the hue & sat setting pop up so they could enter a setting
then the action would continue.

Could anyone offer any links or book reccomendations to help me built more complicated actions please?

wanted to put all my holiday photos on a picture-sharing site (Photobucket), but it seemed they were too big and it took forever. It was suggested that I reduce their size on Adobe Photoshop and I have downloaded it (Starter Edition 3.2). However, I can't seem to find a facility to do this. What I would really like to do is reduce all of the file sizes at once. Is this possible? Otherwise I will reduce them one by one, but don't know how to do this either.

Have Eizo CE210W Monitor calibrated using Eizo software and a SpyderPro2. In CS3, Bridge, and Camera Raw, the shadow areas in pure grayscale black and white pictures are dark olive green rather than pure black.

This is true for both jpg and RAW. However, the same photo open at the same time in Microsoft Photo Viewer is pure black, no green. Workspace in Photoshop is set to Adobe RGB. Any ideas?

I installed photoshop cs3 on my new computer. It runs and works fine, only when you try to update a layer(lets say fill the background with green) it wont show the result unless you manually click off of the image to the move tool, the click back on the screen. It also wont show updates in the preview mode under blending options or filters.

How do you draw dashed lines with the line tool?

I have a problem with duotone, before when I use to use this technique, I would do grayscale->Duotone, and in the duotone box I would get a list of preset colors such as PANTONE 122c, but now when I go there i just get box where i must select my own color with the mixer, how do i get these preset colors back?

I scan them and them edit on photoshop.

Is there any way to auto fill the lines of draw?

I usually draw with my pencil and its visible in the scan so instead of using the bushes manually to fill the lines isn't a way to do this faster?

Is it possible to reduce canvas size by removing a set width or height to be removed from the center of the image? Here is an example situation. I have a graphic that I use for rounded corner effects in a website. For border and shading reasons, I am using images that span the whole width of the element, not using individual corner images. So, my image would look something like this:

:.__________.: (bottom.gif, let's call it)

I've had to create a number of these images in varying widths, based on whatever element it is to accent. What I'd like to do is have my base PSD image be, say, 1000 pixels wide, and when I need to create a graphic that is 200px wide, I would just remove 800px of width from canvas, but from the center, and have the sides collapse in together.

I have a burning question. In CS4, when I use the Image Size command, the default units are centimetres instead of inches under Document Size part of the dialog box.

I know that keeping rulers set to inches will change that default, but I distinctly remember the time when I was able to keep my rulers set to pixels, and my Image Size to inches at the same time.

Something changed at some point and I can't figure out what. How can I keep my rulers set as pixels, but the Image Size dialog box to inches at all times?

what is Psychedelic Effect?

I have a 1.73 GHz Processor and the sytem requirments is 2.0 GHz Processor. Does this matter?

how do i reduce the opacity on parts of an im age, i have tried selecting part of the image with the marque tool and then reducing the opacity but it still reduces it for the full image.

Has anyone had any experience using PS to do some basic architectural rendering? Most of the pros use 3D software for rendering applications but they integrate Photoshop as well. Could these renderings even be done effectively with PS only. Post some examples if you do this kind of work.

I'm running PS CS4 onÂ Vista 64. I have a quad-core i7, ATI 4850 and 6GB of RAM.I was impressed with the speed of my new setup until I started working on my first job.It was 5x7 @ 300dpi with 15 layers. I was doing some final touch-ups to the maskingaround the layers and realized that I was experiencing a lag of over a second whenswitching between history states.

For some reason when I hover over all of the icons of the various tools, it does not give me a description of what they are. How can I turn this on/activate it?

Im going on a "lads holiday" in 2 weeks and i have been given the job to create tshirts for the group. I used a shield design base from a video game and i am now creating new silhouettes for the different sections of the shield to reflect the holiday. Ive been trying to make a quad bike silhouette but every time i do it it comes out so badly that you cannot tell what it is actually meant to be.

I wonder if there's any way of centering one layer (moving it) depending on a selected area or spot. I have a big map which is a huge layer and I'm supposed to cut it into many smaller pieces highlighting only some selected areas (see picture below). Since there's alot of areas I'd like to make as much of it automatically and I've managed everything else by by using actions but I can't figure out how to center the layer so that the selected area is the one in the center.

Can this maybe be done using scripts? If so, how? I know nothing about scripting..

I'm also interested in a script that can save and image to something based on a text layer, eg: myimagename + "_" + textlayer1.contents + extension

or something similar..

I did a screen calibration earlier today.Â Â And it went great and everything is perfect.Â After the calibration I decided to work in Photoshop for some retouching.Â Everything was great.Â I closed out and then restarted the program a little later, but now the photos are coming up with a green tint.Â But if I preview them in the Microsoft image viewer or paint or anything else they look fine.Â

I am designing a site and I would like to know where I can either learn to make cell shaded graphics, or download them.

i use photoshop CS2 on windows, the colour white in my pallette changes to creme, as you can imagine this is very annoying, the problem was solved last time when i used the 'repair' tool on photoshop.

however, it has happened again, and i don't know what to do, i've 'repaired' it numerous times but had no success, i've reset preferences, and i have also done a couple of system restores,

I am running CS3 and for some reason, I get this error on many of the filter options. To reproduce: - load any picture - it does not matter what format I use- create a new layer by selecting the new layer icon at the bottom of the layers pallet-

with the new layer selected, going to the menu item filter/blur/Gaussian Blur I have reset the preferences by pressing ctrl/alt/shift while bringing up Photoshop. I also have reinstalled (repaired) Photoshop. I've tried many different pictures with several formats (raw, .psd, .jpg) with no luck. Interestingly enough, the filter Lens Blur does come up with the screen.

I am on a windows xp system and using the ps cs3 extended 10.0.1 version. My question is about smart objects and their transformation capabilities. I have made some tests on 3 objects. I have created a vector object applied basic layer styles(shipped with photoshop) and duplicate it twice.

Rasterized duplicated ones. Converted vector original and one of duplicated raster copy to smart object and leave one of the raster copy as normal object. Objects have given the same size information in the info palette. Aligned them vertically using a grid.

I have tried some possibilities i have used ctrl+alt+T command transform and duplicate on one of the smart object. It was not working. So i have tried ctrl+shift+alt+T it was not working properly too.

I have applied ctrl+alt+T to normal raster object to create a reference transformation it was working. But when i apply ctrl+alt+shift+T command to vector and raster smart object. I realized that command transforms duplicated copies completely different than the reference transformation applied to normal object.

I am currently in the process of creating a multi page newsletter for a local organization....i have completed page one....what do i do to start page two....three etc...

I made a vector shape of an arrow (see below) and then rasterized the layer.

Then I double-clicked the layer and gave the grey shape a 1px black stroke outline. Only after hitting OK, the 1px black stroke shows up as a thick, grey stroke.

I am trying to recreate the following pic below, I am not sure how to do the effect of the User Interfaces (UI) which around he guy? Can anyone help? I need to know how to achive the filp on the side of the UI.

How can I do this? I have a bunch of very nice brushes, with perfect settings that I would like to copy to my thumbdrive so I can use them anywhere I go. Where is the file that has my brushes? I thought it was in the Photoshop/presets/Brushes folder, but none of the .abr files there appear to have my brushes in them.

how to do the string art on the text.

Can I do this with PS?

I'm using windows XP with Photoshop CS.

Whenever the network cable is connected to the computer, Photoshop start-up load time is significantly longer than when I pull the network cable out.

how i can take a picture and get especific objects and keep them in color and change the rest to black and white? Its one of those cool effects dont know if u guys seen it...thanks

Alt+numeric keyboard shortcuts do not work in other applications shortly after Photoshop CS4 (64-bit) 11.0.1 is started. For example, Alt+3 and Alt+4 (not on the numeric keypad) do not work in applications that respond to these shortcuts. Once Photoshop is closed, they immediately resume working again as normal.

I moved my toolbox to the bottom of the screen and before I knew it, it was GONE! How do I get it back again??? Im running Photoshop 7.0 if that makes any difference. I really don't wanna reinstall Photoshop but do I have to do that?

What steps do you need to do to change the background color to a white but not change the color of the shirt that I photographed on a mannequin?

I have a picture of a red velour colored recliner type chair that i want to make white instead of red. I've been messing with the hue/saturation but cant really get it. The thing is that there are parts of the picture where the velvet texture is naturally darker than the rest of the spots, and to keep the chair looking real and 3d, they have to stay a darker color than the white color I want to make it. but when i use the hue options, it just lightens everything on the chair.

I frequently use the healing tool and can always resize the "circle". Now the healing tool looks like a plus sign with a dot in the middle and I can't change it's size with the slider...what button have I hit?

this is actually a work in progress, thought i'd get some thoughts from you guys. i'm looking to integrate a single photo into the white space in the center (this will be a brochure cover) but i haven't found an illustration style i've liked in the playing i've done.

I have photoshop CS2, and would like to know if there's a way to make simple color adjustments to multiple images at the same time.

If not, is there a way to make some kind of template to apply the same adjustments to all photos individually?

I have an image with several layers. The background layer is transparent. When I merge the layers, the background becomes white. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong or didn't do that prevented my background from staying transparent.

ive been away from ps for a few years and as ive come back home to the new cs3 i have a new problem; there seems to be a setting that locks the hand tool. i try to draw somethign on canvas, but nomatter what button ive pressed, nomatter what setting i start off with, even while clicking on anythign else such as the pen tool, dispite all the indicators indicating i should be drawing with the paintbrush, all it does is stay locked on the hand tool, and i dont know how to unlock it.

How do I create a wave effect like the one below?

I am sure that there are several people tired of these questions, but I am having a hard time finding anything to address my specific problems in the Knowledgebase, the FAQ's, or with searches of the forums. So, I hope you all will forgive me if my questions are redundant and either direct me to the information I need or be willing to take the time to answer my questions. Also, I am going to give some background so that it might help you to help me, so please bear with me; I have spent weeks trying to find the information to fix this on my own and I can't seem to get anywhere by myself...

Has anyone had trouble with PS 7.0 crashing when attempting to use the Image Size Function.It was fine until Auto updates from Windows came through a few days ago.

I have a 146 gig hard drive with 3 gigs of ram. Im currently using PS10 as part of CS3 to finish a job and will then be loading CS4 with the new Photoshop, which I have. I tried Vista Ultimate and after nearly cracking up, went back to XP Pro SP3. I had a Nec Multisynch CRT and decided to go for a new LCD monitora Lacie 320, which Im most unhappy with.

The problem is screen resolution. According to the Lacie specs, monitors should be set at 1600 x 1200. At that resolution, Photoshop as well as the rest of the CS, and the visuals that I create in PS, are all minuscule, and my three websites look stupid. I called Lacie tech support, and they said that I could go down to 1400 x 1050 but no further without distortion.

There are three problems: 1) Even with adjustments in XP, I still have to keep my nose to the screen at 1400 x 1050 to see PS menus, read PS help etc., and would like the resolution to be at 1024 x 768; 2) indeed, 48+ % of computer users have monitors set at 1024 x 768 or lower and will have the pleasure of seeing what I cannot see and would like to see; 3) 38 % of computer users have monitors set at 1920 x 1200 and will see my work as postage stamps,

Anyway on with the problem, i just recently installed photoshop cs3 and every time i double click the short cut the photoshop opens up but it just comes up "not responding" i've tried setting as administrater, running with compatability with XP SP2 but it just keeps saying not responding. Anyone got any solutions?

I need to convert a layer so that it is only one color(black). It can't have any other shades in it. I tried color overlay, but there are still little spots where there are shades of grey on the outsides of the graphic,

For anyone having horrible Brush lag, please try the following settings and report your findings in this thread.

After much configuring and comparing CS4 vs CS3, I found that these settings do improve CS4's brush lag significantly. CS3 is still faster, but these settings made CS4 brush strokes a lot more responsive.

NOTE: these do not improve clone tool performance, the best way to improve clone performance right now seems to be to turn off the clone tools overlay feature.

Perhaps Adam or Chris from Adobe could explain what is happening here. The most significant option that improved performance appears to be the "Use for Image Display - OFF". I have no idea what this feature does or does not do but it does seem to be the biggest performance hit. The next most influential setting seems to be "3D Interaction Acceleration - OFF"

Set the following settings in Photoshop CS4 Preferences:

OpenGL - ON

Vsync - OFF

3D Interaction Acceleration - OFF

Force Bilinear Interpolation - OFF

Advanced Drawing - ON

Use for Image Display - OFF

Color Matching - ON

I'm regularly working with files of 3-4 gigabytes in size and am having problems with my Mac crashing when I go to save.

I have taken several photos with an infared camera but for some reason when i have opened the photos they all seem to be very 'red'. These photos are important so i just wanted to see if anyone could offer me some advise on how to filter out the redness in photoshop to get the picture back to its original state.

When i run a Photomerge (using jpegs) i have even tried using the sample jpegs that come with the software of the SF skyline.

I select my images, and it runs the usual sequence of starting the layers and merging then when it ends its just dissappears looking like the software has just opend with nothing happening.

Ive tried every combination to make them work and nothing.
i never get to see any results.

I am using CS4, and ive also tried in CS3 again which is still installed on my partition. and its not working in that either. it used to work with no problems bit not now.

I wondered why/how ones preferences ever get corrupted. Ive use PS, since 2.5 on all sorts of PCs, sometimes with it running around the clock for days. Never once had I encountered a corrupted preferences file until now, that is.

What I encountered can only be listed as an observation. Im sure that it is but one possible cause. Still, I thought that Id share my experience.

Up at 4:00AM to start a rush scan job. Everything boots up fine, and I start PS CS2. As its loading the plug-ins, etc., I notice that Sun Microsystems Java wants an update and its icon has appeared in the Tasktray of my XP-Pro SP3. I open it, and click Update Later, or whatever the exact dialog is. It drops back to the Tasktray. PS seems to be taking a long time to load on my workstation, but I give it a few moments. Nothing. Its hung at Reading Text Global Resources. I check Task Manager PS is shown as Not Responding. Odd, this has NEVER happened before in all those years. Not so much as once.

I remembered that there was an update for Extend Script, that I told PS to hold off on. I go to Updates, via Bridge and its still there waiting. I End Task for PS and look for something usable from MS. Of course theres nothing. Event Viewer shows an Application Hang, with no useful info. I install the Extend Script Update, and try PS again. It gets to the same spot and hangs.

OK, I allow Java to update (making sure to NOT allow the installation of the MSN Search Toolbar - sheezh! I try PS yet again. Hang at the same spot.

Re-boot and hang. Though I have said it a thousand times, trash your prefs, it takes a moment for it to sink in. I trash my prefs and all is good with PS. Luckily, I had my dual-monitor Workspace saved, and it only takes a minute to change the default preferences back to what I want.

Normally, I have everything, and I mean everything, set to NOT auto-update. I turn this feature off for every program that I install. I use Premiere a lot, and do not want Norton, or anybody, waking up and phoning home. Ill tell em when to update. Well, I missed Java.

I can only guess that it did its update thing, just at a critical time for PSs loading and blew up the prefs file. Had it popped up a second later, or maybe a second earlier, I doubt that Id have had to trash my prefs. After all these years (decades really), I had a corrupt preferences file.

Im sure there are a myriad things that can corrupt a preferences file, and I am only guessing at what caused mine. However, the timing is perfect, so Java gets the blame.

When I'm using the polygonal lasso tool to cut something out it tends to suddenly hook up back to the beginning point without me telling it to do so and therefore ruining the remainder of the job.

I noticed that it only does this when I'm moving back on myself (for example going round the edge of something curved etc)

This had been bugging me for ages and I can't believe the photoshop people would have let something this annoying slip through the cracks.

Is there a fix for this or something obvious I am missing?

Thanks

I've recently upgraded to CS3 Extended from Elements 6.0. I was just missing out on too much great stuff that I wanted and am now very happy that I made the leap.

One big assumption I made when deciding to upgrade though was that I could import my Elements "tags" as CS3 "keywords" for my 12,000+ photos given that the two mechanisms are nearly identical.

Has anyone done this successfully? I've looked all over for a way to do it and am having much greater difficulty finding an answer than I'd expected.

I have photoshop cs please in details tell me how to copy the blue text and use it in another photo.

I am editing photoshop webpage templates. I have to put a new graphic into each of the web/photoshop template. While doing this, I have to move the other graphic/layers around.

Is there a professional way that I can make sure each graphics layer rests on the same x/y axis for each photoshop page?

I suppose I can create a batch and do it that way.

In my work I have to draw shoes from sketch. They have to be photorealistic but achieve photorealistic texture is very hard.

I have to convert a CMYK image into a monochrome bitmap and I can't figure out how to do this in Photoshop.

In the menu under image - mode , there is only greyscale option, or if I choose bitmap, there is also no monochrome option.

How can i change i line color of a shape (Rectangle, ellipse, etc)? I mean the Border color of a shape?

when i wanna change the colour of a shape/photo etc i often use the colour overlay option becuase it lets me eye drop to the colour i want. The problem is that i cant apply effects to this picuture/shape later as the colour overlay still has priority, ie if i wanna put a texture on it it still shows the colour overlay. Is there a way to merge the layer so it takes on all effects and i can apply new ones?

I want take a cut out and image of a person from one photo and past it into another photo file is this possible?

Can anyone help with finding a dll file for photoshop. It is csdtrn32.

When I open a photo from the file menu the photo appears in the document window and I can work on it. Howver, it does not have a header with photo information as a separate window.

I want to open two photos to work on a blend but I can only have one open at a time. When I open another, it simply replaces the previous one I had open. I can't access both at the same time. There must be a setting I am missing. I am working on PhotoshopCS3.

I need to know how to create a texture that will follow the shape/path of an arc, the letter c for example?

I have created a texture already that is a rasterized rectangle, and I want to apply that same texture to an arc so it follows the path not just "stamping" it on like applying a pattern to it.

I mean the "halo" or brightness around that girl... It's totally amazing, and I'd love to make my pictures look similar

I have two questions,

1. What is the technique called? Does it even have a name?

2. How to do this?

I realize you probably need some layer work, dodging/burning etc...

say we have a photo, like a machine part...I would like to obtain only the outside lines of the objects inside the photo...I try to create something like cross-section of the photo...is it possible with photoshop ?

I've heard this is possible but have no idea how to set up the action. I would like to automatically carry out a certain number of instructions such as resizing photos automatically by just saving them into a certain folder. Once I dump the photo in the folder it alters the size and maybe carrys out a further action such as altering the auto exposure.

I've also heard you can map hese actions to an certain keyboard button. ie F1 = Folder which reduces the image to 7x5. Folder F2 = Folder which resizes image to 8x6 etc etc.

I have a large database of images and have keywords for each photo. they are stored in the moment in a excel file. first column is the image name, then the keywords.

how can i automatically run a action that, or with a third party program, insert all this data into the meta data of the image files?

I will not manually copy and paste every single image as there are over 10.000 images at the moment.

I need to be able to change the color of an object in a photo to a specific set of cmyk percentages. I think it’s called “color critical”. For instance, I have a photo of an orange shirt. now, I also have a specific color of green fabric that I plan to use to make other shirts of the same style. I need a photo of the green shirt even though I have not made the shirt yet. and this image needs to perfectly match what the green shirt will eventually look like. see what I mean?

of course I want to preserve the values in the photo of the shirt, the wrinkles and shadows. but it also must match the color perfectly. it there a process that will work regardless of the color and value of the original photo? this sort of thing is done all the time for catalog work so I figured there must be an industry method for this.

I took two pictures of my engine. One with the hood up, one with it down, in the same position. What I want to do is do a selection of just the engine, copy it over to the closed hood picture, then be able to "see" the engine inside. I've already done the selections and copying, now I don't know how to get the edges of the copy to blur with the edges of the car. To make it look like you're seeing a cutout of the hood to see the engine,

I am trying to follow the tutorial "Converting from 2D to 3D" and it is 'not working for me.'Â When I open the image 'archer...' I do not get layers, but only the background image, and consequently no 3DAxis widget appears. This is my first try at this, and I am stuck trying to figure out what is wrong. I am running Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, version 11.01 on Vista, with 4GB of RAM, 500GB HD Processor speed 2200MHzNVIDIA GeForce 7100Memory available to PS 3255MBMemory used by PS 70 percent.

I created a Web Photo Gallery in PS, which gives me an 'Index.html' output that runs the gallery. Is it possible to embed this gallery within a web page? Or does it have to be a separate web page? I have a website template and I'd like to just embed the gallery within the page and still have all of my menu bars etc... I'd like to stay away from using frames.

if there are any tools out there, other than Photoshop, that are capable of editing vector text in a PSD file.

Our designer does all of his mock-ups in Photoshop, and saves them as PSD files. I have Adobe CS4, so I have no problems working with these files. However, my assistant does not (nor are we able to purchase it for him).

Because we try to do everything with copy and paste, I would really like to find an affordable program for him to use to copy the text from the mock-up and be able to paste it into a Web page.

We're not talking about any major text (otherwise, we would pull that from a Word document or something). We're talking more about very simple, short text that would be used as the "alt" text for an image on the Web site or something. For instance, if our designer develops a header banner that says "This is a test" in a custom font that can't be effectively recreated with CSS, I want my assistant to be able to copy the text from that banner and insert it into the "alt" tag when he adds the image to the page.

I've tried the default installations of GIMP and Paint Shop Pro XI. Neither of those programs are able to recognize text layers in PSD files as vector graphics. They both rasterize those layers before opening the file.

We both run Linux and Windows, so we can work with any programs that run on either platform. The app doesn't have to be free, but anything over ~$150 is probably out of the question.

If you know of any programs that are capable of editing Photoshop text (specifically, capable of allowing the user to select and copy the text),

I been using photoshop for a couple months now and is getting real good at it but i need to get more fonts and brushes..does anyone know how i can get more that are free?..also once i download them how do i install them into photoshop...

Assuming that I am shooting Raw with the G10 at 4416 x 3312 pixels. What File Size can I expect when opening in CS2?

I just made a simple line in the unlocked background layer. why is it that i cannont move the line without moving the entire layer? i want to be able to duplicated the line into a new layer, but when i duplicate the layer i get the background too.

how to get this kind of text...the "X2" ...everything from the sharp edges.. to the chrome colour and the reflection effect along the chrome.....?

i got a new monitor, a HD Widescreen Asus VW193T. Whenever i do a gradient in Photoshop. I can see the vertical lines/blocks that make up the gradient, they're very noticable too. I also just formatted my computer so it may either be the monitor or some photoshop settings.

I have this standard rectangular image that I want to distort in such a way that two of the edges are slightly curved. It's for a tumbler insert.

I am making an image which will act as a border for a website. So i am using a color to blend to two together.

Which i thought would be easy seen as i had the HEX code for the color i was using. I have set the background of my page to the color (#CCFF99), and i have tried to fill in my image with the same color, but when they are both on the page, they look like a completly different shade.

Am i doing something wrong, or am i asking too much that i want the same shade on both an image and a page. I thought that was one of the plus points to HEX codes, so that i could have the same shade over and over!
