Background Problems

Hi Everyone!

I'm having a slight problem matching the paper on a number of drawings done on the same paper with the same graphite.

I intend to have these screen printed and while it'd be ideal to mask out the paper, the detailed nature of the drawings does not allow me to do so.

Here's my question then. How might I get all these drawings to match accurately enough to isolate the colors and values? Matching the whites even?

I've tried masking out the pencil and using curves to maintain the slight red while applying a b/w filter to the rest of the drawing and a photo filter on top of that. Unfortunately this still doesn't create the uniformity I need.




Thanks!

Hello,

I am trying to help a neighbor with a birthday invitation in CS4. For some reason, when we print the image, the text color is missing. We are trying to print the image on pink paper. The text layers are a silver color. No matter what color we change the text layers to, it won't print them in the chosen color. It just shows up as the pink paper. I have attached a screen shot.

Could anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

I think I came to the right place

So, I have this picture




This picture...Contains many gems. As you can see, behind the cross text of Rihanna and Kanye, there are words showing from the piece of paper behind it. A lot of letters are legible, but the full word is hard to make out. I noticed that when I tilt my screen though, it sort of becomes easier to read, however I still can't make out the words.

This can be key to unlocking a lot of information for Rihanna and Kanye fans, such as myself. If one of you are able to manipulate the picture to make the words behind the paper legible, I'm sure news outlets around the world will pick it up, and will credit this site.

So, if you guys are truly photoshop guru's, you should be able to do something. Prove yourselves..

I want to print this picture onto photo paper. I wanted to print it in portrait orientation with 4x6 dimensions, but I have no idea how to do this without distorting the picture. Can anyone help me? I attached inline as well as an attachment. If anyone can help me, thank you!

Can someone with really really good photoshop skill take the snake away and make it look like the girl is holding a plain white sheet of paper ? I need it for silly signs and pictures please ?

Okay, so here's the deal. I have a vintage valentine card that I want to sell as a printable. Currently though I am unable to print this out myself. The problem with this is that I can't take product sample pictures of this image in various uses. Right now I would like to create a "photo" of this vintage card as it would look if someone printed it out on card stock paper, then cut it out along the image outline. This would give a fold-able "greeting card" style, but the card would not be your typical square or rectangle, as the person would cut out the card along the image edge.


Here is the vintage valentine. It is in PNG format to preserve the transparent background.




Here is a similar example of the effect I want to create:


But I want to make the above effect, as if the valentine was cut out along the image edges, and not simply printed on a rectangular card. How would I create a product sample use "photo" with the vintage image in a cut out, standing up, card image?

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,
Chyina

Using PS CC. I have set a photo to an image size of 4x6. I am uploading to an online photo printing service to purchase multiple copies of the photo on 4x6 glossy paper. I've tried both Costco Photo and Shutterfly but the cropping that is required cuts into the people shown on the photo. I tried increasing the print size to 5x7 but it cropped even more. If I use my own printer, I can reduce the photo to fit the paper size. This option is not available online. I tried reducing the image size to 5x3, but that doesn't work either. How do I format my photo to eliminate so much cropping with these online services? Thanks for any help you can give me. I've been using Photoshop for several years and have gone to two classes. Unfortunately, I only use it a few times a year so it's almost always like being a newb! Anne

Hi,
I have been asked by a friend to recover the faded writing in this photo. (Reproduce the entire photo with the script visibly clearer/readable.) Although I can bring more clarity to the writing, I am unable to do so without enhancing the background texture of the paper it's printed on (using selective colour controls, levels & contrast). I have tried using the magic wand with only partial success. Can anyone please suggest a better approach?
Thank you.
Peter
PS: I do not have access to the original print, only a CR2 photo of it.

Hey guys. This'll be my first post on this forum. I've never been that into photography and image editing until I got my hands on PS and realized how amazing the process is and how many changes you can make. I actually spend quite a bit of time messing with pics in my spare time now. That said, I'm still a beginner when it comes to this program, so I need help on a couple things.

The current picture I need advice on deals with the old "sun in the background" problem. Its a picture of myself riding a horse, but a noob mistake made me forget that you need the sun facing you in order to not have your skin appear dark. I know to correct this in the future, but I'd like to know if there's a way that PS can make this look a bit better.

I'm not uploading the actual image, but a really good comparison looks like this:



How could I get the skin tone looking normal?

Hey there,

I have been working at this problem for a while and still haven't found a good solution, so here goes:

I am starting a new business making terrariums and am starting to take product shots to build my website. I am trying to take the photo of a few terrariums (glass container with plants in it), remove the background and put it over a new background layer of a forest scene. After about 4 hours of trial and error (and much manual outline selection) I got to the .gif attachment you see below, it's grainy and there is not good colour detail.

I sometimes found it hard to take clear photos of the plants inside the terrariums because there was a lot of glare on the glass. I have 4 background colour options: blue, red, white and black. I opted for the red because I thought it would be the most contrasting with the contents of the terrarium.

What would be the best way to remove the background and to achieve this?
