Font Preview In Cc & Cc 2014

Previewing and selecting fonts in Photoshop has never been a slick affair at the best of times and for me Adobe's latest 'upgrade' just makes the whole process even more annoying.

I'd rather place my wedding tackle in the mouth of a lion whilst flicking his love spuds with a wet towel.

This is a stupid question really, but is there a better way to preview and select fonts in Photoshop?

I've tried the trial of TypeDNA and whilst the standalone app is pretty good I couldn't get the PS plug-in to work.
Extension manager installed it OK but for some reason it doesn't show up as an extension in PS....neither in CC nor CC 2014.
The Type DNA website doesn't appear to have anything on troubleshooting despite being crammed full of info, although I may just have missed it.

So what does every one else use/do?
Am I alone in being annoyed by Adobes latest 'Font Preview upgrade'?
Has anyone else tried TypeDNA and got the plug-in to work in either CC or CC 2014?

...Or should I just forget it and keep flicking the lions pods?

Regards.
MrTom.

Ps Cc 2014 Load Files Into Stack...

Its probably me again but the 'Load Files into Stack...' script in PS CC 2014 doesn't seem to want to play.

[ With no document open and loading a list of 5 images ]
I get two documents created, one with just the last file in the list opened and the other with a blank layer, the same image as the other document and a vertical guideline way off to the left.

This works fine in PS CC but not in 2014.
(CS6 works ok too)

Can anyone just confirm if its me or if it really doesn't work in 2014.

Many thanks.

Photoshop Cc Vs Photoshop Cs??

There's a lot of confusion about Adobe's new Creative Cloud.
It's assumed that all Adobe products will be available via a monthly subscription only, and that may be true.
I found this post by Scott Kelby, a Photoshop heavy weight.

My Adobe Creative Cloud Quick Q&A

Read the article and you'll see 2 comments that seem to contradict the subscription only assumption most people have.

Q. Do I have to sign-up for a Creative Cloud membership or can I just upgrade like always?
A. Nope—you can just upgrade like always.

Q. What if it’s not for me?
A. That’s totally cool. You can pretend the Creative Cloud doesn’t exist, and just pay up front for upgrades and full versions of the software like you used to. The Creative Cloud is an option — one that makes sense for a lot of people who can’t handle the up-front costs of the regular Creative Suite, but if it’s not for you, no biggie.

I'm posting this with very limited knowledge on how CC will work and what it means to those of us individuals that have single licenses for Adobe products.
I'm making this post a sticky and hope any PS_CC comments and updates will be posted here until we understand what this means to us.

My Cc Photoshop Does Not Recognize My Fonts

My CC Photoshop does not recognize my fonts I purchased, anybody know how to make that happen? I have them in suitcase Fusion five it's not recognizing it anymore....UGH

Help With My Team Logo.

Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Darko, I'm from small country in Europe Montenegro. I have a passion for sports, mobile phone's and graphic design. I'm 21 years old and I'm studying telecommunications.

This year I'm planning to open my own gym for material arts (ju jitsu, judo, bjj, sambo, grappling, Judo and karate). I have black belt in judo and I'm grappling and sambo instructor.

I'm here because I want to design professional logo for my gym, something to be proud on and it represents me and my personality. I'm very bad at drawing, but I've found some designs from which I want to take some stuff. (Create it myself no direct copying).
I have general idea how I wish my logo to look like. As for now I'm not decided for the name, but that doesn't really play huge role yet.
I know I want my logo to be in circular form like this ones:









So I need some pointers how to make a circle like that. I think it looks very neat with border around it, what do you guys think?

As far as the inside of the circle go I'm thinking of leaving it blank for a logo on witch I'm not decided yet all I know is that I want to have that belt included



Preferred all black with withe letters in Japanese name of the gym on it.. That belt will be in the bottom of the circle and it will be kinda sticking out.. Something like that but a little lover:



Or something similar to that:



As far as font goes I'm pretty much undecided, I like fonts from all of the circle logos, if someone knows the names of the fonts I will be very grateful, if someone has some suggestions for the font I'm totally open to it also.

I want to learn how to do wrestling and judo and bjj mat, so maybe I can make that in logo also







Then there is secondary thing, logo for myself for T-shirt for business cards to represent myself to sponsors and for my personal team, my fans and supporters.. I'm thinking of the same circular logo as those for my club and I really want to include geek glasses like this ones:



And a beard as I have a beard and glasses..



I fund that one on the forum, I have similar beard

The font choice is still the same as for the gym logo..

That's all I have in my head for now.
I want to say I'm not requesting anyone to make something instead of me, because I want to say that I've made my logo myself and be proud on it for the years to come. Neither I have enough money to pay for your brilliant skills.
And I'm no pro in Photoshop I have it for about 5 years and everything I know I've learned myself I'm not a total noob, but comparing to you guys I'm pretty much exactly that. I know it will be hard but with help from you guys i think me/ with you guys can do it ! I will be really happy for any and all the help I can get!

Thank you very much guys.

Font On A Wall

Is there a trick to making a font appear realistic as possible on a wall using photoshop 7 (and not just look like it's typed on)
Something like a gradient map maybe to meld the letters into the wall below. Would that work?

Ps Cc / 2014 Split Channel File-name Error ?

Can somebody using PS CC or PS 2014 please confirm whether the file names are correct for split channels.

Procedu
1. Open a file, (must be flattened if a layered PSD).
2. From the Channels Panel Fly-Out menu choose 'Split Channels'.
3. The file names of the resulting documents should be:

For RGB or CMYK file 'butterfly.png':
butterfly.png_Red or _Cyan
butterfly.png_Green or _Magenta
butterfly.png_Blue or _Yellow
butterfly.png_Black

My results a
AR_Red
_Green
A_Blue

These results are the same for every file I've tried. The original filename is totally disregarded.

Is this just me or is it PS CC and PS 2014?

Your feedback is appreciated.
Thank you.

Regards.

How To Copy Text Style From A Photo In Cs6

Hi everyone I'm a complete beginner with photoshop, I have CS6 I'm looking to copy a style of text from a photo and replace it with other text.

The style of text I am trying to copy is from a stamp so I don't think it will be in selection of texts available in photoshop, have tried looking around youtube for tutorials but I cannot find anything along these lines.

I've attached a photo of the text I would like to change, it says JUN 2014 I would like to change it to AUG 2014 using the same text.



Any advice much appreciated

Using Fonts - Copyright

A question came to mind that I have never really thought about until now.

What is the copyright law on using free fonts commercially? The main website I use to get them from is "dafont".

Getting "color Mechanic" To Run Under Ps Cc 2014, Ie 64 Bit Ps

In another thread, I mentioned that I couldn't get the old (2008 vintage), but extremely useful plugin, Color Mechanic, to run under 64 bit Photoshop. Larry ( @ALB68) showed that he didn't have this problem, so I started this thread to help other people with this problem, but not clog up the original thread.

OK, Larry, what's your secret? I just tried again, and still can't get it to work. Arghhh! I attempted to get it to run exactly the same way I installed all my previous installs of it (that worked fine).

Convert Text To Outlines

Hi. I am new here. This is my first post. I have Googled my problem, but have not found any real answer. If this has been asked and answered before, and I am sure it probably has--then my apologies.
I am just learning Photoshop. The heading to convert text to outlines is greyed out for me. It is not because I am missing that font, because I am using a font from PS. Does anyone know why this is greyed out? Is there a fix? Or, alternatively, is there a way to work around this? Thanks for all suggestions.
