How Do I Create A Vector Version Of This Leaf?

Hi I'm trying to create a poster like this. It's nearly done except for the grainy effects (noise) and the guassain blur.


Is there a way of adding effects to the whole of the psd file and changing the contrast/hue without having to flatten the layers?

Thanks.

Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to Photoshop CS 5 so I apologize if I am asking the wrong type of questions, here goes:

When working with Vector Masks can you:
1) "Link" or "share" one image's vector mask with other images? (ex. If I made "Building A" then duplicated it, but then wanted to change what Building A looked like, I would only have to change the source mask and the copies would be updated.
2) Move the image independent of the vector mask (it seems like I can only move the vector mask, not the image itself). Or in other words: can I move the image and have the mask follow it, instead of only being able to move the vector mask inside of the image boundaries?

My application of the question:
I'm making a 2D top down layout of a "city block" type area. To fill in the buildings, I've made Building A,B,C etc, and use multiple copies of each building. Ideally, I would like to be able to "link" or share say Building A's vector mask with all the other instances of Building A (so that when I change the master, they all change to the new mask shape). The second behavior I'm trying to find is the ability to move the layer without moving where the Vector Mask is on that layer (since it seems that you can only move where the mask is, meaning that even if I could share masks, they would all end up in the same place meaning I would have to re-position each one by hand again.

Any ideas are appreciated, thank you for reading.

Hi I have a question which I'm fighting with for several years. Daily I work as car wrap designer so a lot of my projects are cut by cutting plotters.
Every work I create has to be made of tiff file with bleed and a vector .eps file containing cut line.

the problem is sometimes client wants shapes so abstract that ContentAwareFill just cant do the trick.
same with active selection and Cmd+Alt+ arrow keys while selection is still active because sometimes art ic made of several floating objects.

(I hope I'm describing it enough, sorry for my bad english )

here are the images to show you what I mean:

01. main image


02. cut line

03. final work


As you can look closer bleed spreads in every direction uniformly:



I know I can use smudge, yes in example like above. but If I have tree with many many leaves floating.. I should manually smudge bleed of every leaf.

Question is:
Do you have "automated" solution? plugin? action? script? or just different idea than CAFill, smudge tool, or pixel shifting?

Thank you

Hi Everyone,

I created a PSD logo and "Icon" for my upcoming clothing brand - (Brand Removed).

Upon printing my first T-Shirt, I have been told that my logo must be Vector to be able to work with Vinyl materials. The only problem is, is that I don't have inDesign, and have never used it myself before. I have a very short deadline and I am not in a position to pay for this being done anytime soon.

By any chance, could someone please convert my T-Shirt print into Vector? Bellow is my Icon that I would like converting on the T-Shirt:

The Icon, and not the image and T-Shirt it's self.
Brand Image Removed

If this is something someone can do for me, I have the PSD file and a PNG fine at around 1200pixels of the original icon.

Kind Regards,
UKFashion.

NOTE: All 3 samples are Kindle Erotica Book Covers. I couldn't find any non-erotica cover image.

Question - I want to create a simple Kindle Book Cover (that is, front side only) like the cover images posted below. I just want to know how to create the Text Effect. That is, how to create the Transparent (or opaque) bar and how to create the following text effects, both Title and Author Name Are the fonts or simple effects? Please help.



Please Help. Am using CS 5 Extended.

Thanks

How would you "rasterize" the layer effects? So that instead of it being the object with the effects on it its just the individual pixels with no effects on them... does that make sense?

I used to use quite a few Actions for special effects. Now, with Nik and
OnOne, I create "favorite" effects instead. I haven't used Actions for this
for quite some time.

Are Actions for certain effects (ie: Dragan) used much anymore?

Anyone have any Actions or Action sites they recommend? There's
a million sites that come up with a Google search, but many are not
really worth the time.

Hi Everyone. Im certainly not new to Photoshop. I have been using it since 1998 everyday. I am a graphic designer.
Think the reason I never come across this problem usually is because I make all my artwork for print in Indesign.
EG bring vectors in and images etc.
This particular project I have loads of textures that go over vector smart objects in Photoshop. As part of the look I need these textures and light leaks flooding across over the vectors I have placed in Photoshop.
Its a Zfold brochure and have built the whole thing in Photoshop due to the style I wish it to look.

MY PROBLEM
I have exported a 1x front of brochure and 1x Back as a Photoshop PDF and placed into indesign so I can use my fold and crop marks. This makes the live type that was in photoshop perfect and cant tell the difference that it was originally in Photoshop, it looks Indesign quality on my laser printer. The vector smart objects though are really blurry. Is there any way to keep the smart objects from rasterizing when saving in a file format?

Hi guys,
So I'm creating a logo based on the concept of sugar spun (caramel threads). Unfortunately, the logo needs to be at vector form, and so I'm asked to transform a realistic photo of the sugar spun into vector.
Below is the photo of the sugar spun and I want to illustrate all the crystal effect and tonal shades (or at least some) of it digitally. Is there a possible way? Can you guys suggest me how to do that, either by using special effect or drawing them manually...


Thank you very much.
