3d Animation In Ps !!!

Hello again,

I'm editing an image and I've spent lots of time refining the details. I had to grab the image from a background and it did not leave so easily, at least for me, but I've gotten passed that. I'm now doing some finishing touches. There's some small parts of the image that lost detail in the transfer from backgrounds and some of it got muddy in areas as well. I am wondering what the best way to take individual parts of the image and put them in place underneath the edited image so that when I erase everything the quality piece of the image is revealed.

Thanks,

J

I used to have an Action/Filter (can't remember which it was) that would turn a photo into what resembled the Matrix style effect. I was playing around as usual, and wanted to try it out on an image.

I haven't used it in a long while, but now I don't have any filters or actions that do it. I appear to have lost it, plus I can't seem to find it again on the web.

I don't suppose anyone here has something that resembles this.

Hello,

I am completely new to this forum so I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place. I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and have a question regarding file size/quality. So, here it goes.

I am currently working on publication that requires all downloaded photos to be uploaded to a website that has a max file size of 20 mb. When I download an image to use for a background (some sort of a pattern that is normally somewhere around 800 x 800 size) the image is about 180 kb which is perfect. Unfortunately, the image has a poor ppi resolution and prints extremely blurry so in photoshop under image size, I increase the resolution so that the file size & resolution is bigger. This takes a lot of guessing on my part.

For example, if I increased the image resolution to 100000000 ppi, the file size would end up way over 20 mb which does me no good. So what I am wondering is, is if there is a way to optimize the the resolution of the image, given the file size limitations, without all of the guess and check?

If this looks confusing, I apologize and will gladly explain more. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys,

I am sure this is a really simple thing to do and I thought that saving the image as a PNG was the answer.

I am trying to customise the folder icons in the dock on my iMac as show in the image below. However, as you can see I get white space around the edges and I thought that saving it as a PNG would avoid this.

Can anyone advise what I need to do.

Hi,

I have an image that I wanted to alter part of, and cannot work out how to do it. In the attached pic, the yellow marker on the far right is turned too far to the right (the black part of the cap shows it is too far right and not 'face on' to the camera). Similarly the green pen second in from the left has the same issue.

How can I isolate the markers with this issue, and rotate them vertically (on the axis as such) so that the images of these markers are directly 'face on' like the rest of the markers?

I have read about 3D conversions but not sure how to do it, and would have thought there is another way to resolve rather than having to convert the image to 3D? Appreciate any advice.

As a graphics designer, self employed with your own business.

How far do you all go in regards to using clip-art, vectors, photos etc on the internet to use as part of your client work. Obviously the clip-art etc would be free to use, and not took from google images etc.

It's got me wondering and I'm starting to feel bad for using the odd free clip are as part as my clients work, is this really allowed?

Cheers in advance .

Hey all,

I'm new and thought I would join when I realised I'm not as good at Photoshop than I thought!

I have an image and I'd like to remove the background. I've tried using the selection tools and rubbers but when I'm done it looks like someone a 5 year old has done it. In fact they would do a better job!

I've attached the image

Just wondering if there is anyone out there that could help.

Thank you!
Ben

Hi gif smarties!

I am using the animation feature in Photoshop CS5. Im rotoscoping by tracing footage that has been imported to layers. The traced frames are on their own separate layers. Im keeping my workload, per file, to 60 frames (120 layers total). I tried to make a file that was 70 frames instead (140 layers). Now every time I open the animation window, the layers go crazy and the traced layers are moved, uncolored, and generally all weird and wrong. I tried copying the file and breaking it into 2 files of 35 frames each (70 layers) but the damage seems to be done. Opening the animation window screws with the frames. Is there a fix for this or do I simply have to keep files to <60 in the future?

halp halp!

I saw this photoshop action the other day I was impressed with. I'm on the hunt for a similar Action but I'm completely lost on what search terms to use in my hunt.

I have 4 images that give you an idea what the action does. I will also use the images to help explain my confusion.

IMAGE 1 -- nothing special here -- just showing you the image loaded into PS.



IMAGE 2 -- Image 2 shows you the first step of the action. It basically gives you an outline of the image and changes the background. I would love to have the background color to be all white but all in all this is ok.



IMAGE 3 - In this image I'm showing that you can use any brush to paint in what you want to show on the image. This is where I get lost in my search. I have been looking for an action that can convert the background like you see in image 2 above and than give you the ability to paint what you want to show in the image. I have used terms like "sketch painting" "pencil painting" "painting image" "brush painting" "mask painting" but I can not find any actions that does what you see in these images.



IMAGE 4 - When you are done brushing , you can continue the action and it will change what you brushed in to look like a painting.



Ok..............I'm looking for actions that basically does the above. The two key elements of the action is how it handles the background and also gives me the ability to use a brush tool to paint what I want seen in the final results. Most actions I seen will just convert the whole image to look like a painting.........I want more control of what is seen in the final results by using a brush to paint what I want seen in the final results. What it converts to in the end isn't important but I would love to find something where I could convert the image so it looks like a painting, a pencil sketch, comic sketch, etc.

You can help me with what to search for or even better yet, if you know where I can find such actions, please point the way.

I spent 2 days on GraphicRiveer with very little luck or what I find did not provide me enough info for me to be certain I was getting what I wanted. Other than GraphicRiver, I have been googling but no luck.

Thanks

I've been foolishly playing around with blending modes on images in web pages using CSS.

I found an example in which the follow image is used for blending, using 'multiply' blend mode.



When blended they do indeed create a full colour image but how is this done without the 'key' component?
I'm assuming its been included in the other 3 images but how?

Regards.
