Banner That Depicts Peace Of Mind .

I am trying to make some videos using still images but want to add some creativity to them. I want to be able to make certain subjects in the images pop out like in the following two videos:

(I can't post links so you will have to search you tube for the following videos)
1. George Strait's "Troubadour" official video (use these search words: "george strait troubadour")
2. Cee Lo Green's "Thank you" video (use these search words: "thank you cee lo green" -its the firefighter video)

Sorry for not posting links but my account is not allowed to post links yet.

I want to use the 3d/pop-out style effects. I am not sure where to start on how to get certain elements in the image to pop out and others blur into the background. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please review this , i am a newbie , so don't expect too much Just before i send this to my boss i taught i'd review this on the forum , so friends just sit back and tell me how it look and what i could have done better . I personally think i could have better emphasised the text in black with a shape or something behind it . But never mind .

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

Hello! Very much so a noob question . ive done my research and im just here for a very definite tutorial . im learning how to resize images from Big to small. Only problem is i cant seem to keep the high quality resolution . Ive included both images .. the "moonshine" collage is what id like to minimize. The "Whiskey" image is able to be downsized with no resolution loss when i downsize why? ID also like to keep them PNG or transparent in the background .

the moonshine collage image is one i made in photoshop cs6.

id like to make them W:280 pixels H:110 pixels/100 pixels



Theres a screen shot of the photo in place . The GREEN image is the image in low resolution , which i cannot figure why . the other RED image is how id like all my images to appear . There both pretty big original images as well ..

Ok guys so ill start by saying that I am new to Photoshop, slowly learning my way threw things as I go. I picked up adobes offer on Photoshop/lightroom so those are the only 2 programs i currently have to work with. I am on a paintball team and we got jerseys made. We had quite a few problems with the company printing them so they offered to throw a free banner in for us. The issue is that we didnt already have a banner designed and since the design cost would be on the company printing it now they came up with a pretty horrible design, they literally just took the front of our jersey and put it on the banner and it looks pretty bad. Im having a roadblock on how i could even design this banner so I was hoping to have a little input from everyone here. I will post our jersey below, their suggested banner, and then just a fun little mock up that I did trying to learn my way threw photoshop. Please note that on my mock up i used words instead of actual sponsor logos, i need to use logos in the actual banner but couldnt get it to look right with them in mine.

Hey Guys , this is an image i found on google , i think its really simple and neat , though it has some effects that i have no clue how to make or design , that why i need your help . I basically want to re-create this image , its ok if it takes a while to come to the final output , a day , a week thats fine , now i'am going to go start on this image , so please keep giving me your inputs . mmmm So lets start with the background 1st , i'll make it a dark blue , but how did he get those sparkles ? :/ . Well as we keep progressing on this i'll keep uploading the zip file . so everyone can learn with me or even add thier own effects .

Kind regards .

Hey PSG,

It's been a while since I last posted, I have been busy on my new clothing line, very educational I must say. Hope you are all doing well.

I am posting to see if anyone has any reccemendations for "FREE" commercial use images. I have highlighted free in bold because a quick google search brings up endless pages of "free" images.

Now many of these images claiming to be free are copied of the internet, such as google images, therefore they are going to land me into trouble further down the line. It's hard to take someones word if it belongs to themselves, or someone else.

Therefore, if any of you are aware of any websites that you can trust that all the images OK to use, please share it with me.

Hey guys , wassup and how u all been ? I miss u all , i really do .

check this below image out .



basically its for a small ecommerce website , the thing is , it looks too dull and what i'd really like is to make it look a bit professional and bright . I did't try anything much , except adjust the levels , but if somebody can suggest me a few tricks , i can go try it in photoshop .

Please don't make edits on this picture , as i'd prefer just suggestions , if i do have further difficulty i'll come back and ask here .

Thank you.

Hello everyone. So, I've seen there are some people in this forum who have also asked for some request, so I'll do the same hoping someone has the time to help me. There is image from a DeviantArt user.

I find it really beautifull, but I don't like the Big Portal logo - after all I know what is it about- and as a first request I'd like that to be removed. That is something I'll try on my own, too, and post the result soon (maybe i'll edit this post), but there is something else I want. The lyrics there, it's just too much for my eyes. I thought it would be a good idea if someone who's really good, could replace the with some random code lines (I'll search for some certain right after I publish this post). In that way it would be more minimal and wouldn't require much attention from the eyes.

Thanks in advance. I'll be soon editing the post to add the code lines I suggest as well as my exertion of removing the portal logo.

(Turn out I cannot post links, so I'll just upload the image. Just keep in mind that this is made from the user Zeptozephyr in DeviantArt.)

Hello,

I'm new to PS and new to this forum, so be kind! I need to edit the font used in my product category images and to do it I have tried filling the text in with the matching colour, and then retype the text. However the images have been created (as you can see) with a transparent layer over the actual product and in-between the text. So my question is, how can I fill the text in without losing the "transparent" effect? below is an original image and an image where I have removed the text by filling it in


Many thanks, Ben
