Question On Filter "fractalius"

Hello to PGurus! This my 1st Post & I am thankful for the resource(s) offered here!
My ?: I have MacBook Pro Ver. 10.6.8 w/ 8 gig RAM. The filter " Fractalius " only works on Windows. They will not make a Mac Version. So, can I run Photoshop CS-5 Extended through VirtualBox Ver. 4.16 software with XP on it (which I already have used to run Microsoft "Access" DataBase software), and be able to use this filter for my projects? Or is there any better way to achieve the same result? Thank You for your advice.

Virtual Windows Software For Mac Machines

I have a MacBook Pro which I love and will not return to PC anything. But I posted a question on using a windows only filter called fractalius. I had my computer science all wrong. That is: you can not run a Mac Application such as PS for Mac through any virtual windows software unless the application is for windows i.e. PS for Windows. Right? If that is true, does anyone recommend and filter or plugin that emulates Fractalius fractal like filter?

Gopro Image In Photoshop - Lens Correction

Hello, I am looking to fix the barrel distortion- fisheye effect of photos taken from my quadcopter. From the altitude, the lens distortion is very pronounced.


So, within Photoshop CS6 went to "filter" Menu -> Lens Correction ...and under "Auto Correction" -> "Camera Make" Gopro does not appear in the dropdown list like it does in the online videos I have found to correct this.


..What gives?

Help Identifying/recreating An "effect"?

Hello! First time poster here, looking for some help! Hope everyone's doing well!

I was just going through some movie posters, and I was curious as to what the label for this "effect" or filter (again, not sure), would be:



What I'm talking about is Mia Farrow/Rosemary's face, along with the green hue accompanying it. How would one go about recreating something like this? Some opacity editing for the face? What about the green? Heck, even the noise/graininess. This is just something I'd like to learn how to do.

Would love any help you guys could give me! Thanks

Tracking Filter Steps

Hi all

Is there a way to follow the steps that happen when I choose a particular filter so I could make it by myself?
I use the 'plastic wrap' filter but I want to change several components that are made automatically and I do not want all of them.
thanks.

(Basically I take white lines on a black background and use the 'Plastic warp' filter, it thickens the lines and changes the texture and that's good for me - but it adds a bright spot behind the lines, which I do not want because I need it in a separate layer).

Photoshop Cc Offset Filter Margin

Hello,

I usualy uses Gimp for this but I wanted to give a try with photoshop CC
I want to create a seamless texture, so I use the offset filter
but check the image, on second aplication of the offset filter, it creates a strange margin for noapparent reason, ruining the texture



Here I use smart objects, but I tried with a simple white canvas, drew black lines onf it and applied the filter twice, I dont have the problem

How To Make An "inverse" Layer?

I am sorry if I don't use the correct jargon throughout this post, I am a very occasional user of Photoshop!

I have Photoshop CS4 Extended.

I want to create an "inverse" layer.

Here's what I mean:

1) create a new canvas.

2) Choose a large, bold font and write on the canvas (E.g. "Hello World").

3) Select all the letters (using the magic wand tool, click on each letter while holding down the shift key)

4) Invert the selection.

5) Get stuck, no idea what to do next. Try various things and get nowhere!

I want to make a new layer that contains the inverted selection as a shape that I can do things to like any other shape (e.g. in the shape library).

So, for example, I could fill the surrounding area with red and the letters will be transparent.

I've tried converting the inverted selection to a clipping mask, but after that I get in a bugger's muddle.

Perhaps I am going about this in completely the wrong way? Perhaps there's a better way?

Once again, I apologise if I sound like a three-year-old trying to explain something to an adult, but that's the extent of my knowledge of Photoshop!!

Can This Be Done? Is It Even Possible?

Hi,
I'm wondering if this is possible:
The right side is what I'm trying to achieve.
It's a simple enough effect, but the problem is that I'm curious if it can be some sort of dynamic effect in that I can change the "A" text to "B" and still have the outline cut out of the "M" (Or whatever if I need to change the "M" text to "Q" or something).
Basically I need the "A" and "M" to be able to change while the stroke of whatever the "A" letter (or shape) is will always cut out whatever shape, text, or image is placed behind it.
Is this possible without having to manually cut it out of the back image every time?

The illusion can easily be created by having a white background and using a white stroke on the "A" (that creates the effect I'm wanting)..
However I need them to be transparent and easily editable so they can be saved as transparent images for multiple uses quickly and easily.
(I apologize if I didn't get this across very clearly)

Help (learning) With Panorama

I've merged the original exposures into a panorama using PS's photo merge tool, and then used the Adaptive Lens filter to straighten it out. The merge gave a cup shape to the horizon. The Adaptive Lens filter wasn't as easy as expected, as just marking the horizon was not working and I could find no way to tell it that the projected line it drew was not following the right curve! But I found that making a bunch of overlapping small lines did the trick.

So here's what I have now:

Before I work on color, I need to get the composition right. The distant horizon is straight, and the change in features on the left is a natural place to have a bend, but maybe the distant horizon ought to be a bit curved after all? I'm open to suggestions.
The near space is too distorted and doesn't match, but having the feature provides for the opening up of the distance beyond it. But maybe it can be shaped or modified somehow?

Any suggestions or discussion on what I should do next?

Also, I've found that PS will not save a file if it runs larger than 2GB. A more enormous merge could not be saved with layers intact. This thing is already pushing 2GB, with one "smart" layer + the lens filter and a vibrancy adjustment layer.
