Hello Hello!

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 guys,

So I'm a rather new music producer and I make some wallpapers for my tracks using Photoshop and then put some effects in there using Adobe After Effects.
So I usually just use either a gradient or an image in there, but it's rather hard to find images without copyright that look good and fit the track title.
And gradients kinda look boring (just a few colors that overflow).

So I was wondering how people make these kind of backgrounds:


(quality kinda sucks because I had it on 480p by accident, but you get the point)







Or a bit different style like this:


Or this:



Thanks in advance!


EDIT: I know the "READ ME BEFORE POSTING" thread clearly said "rather use img tags instead of linking to external websites" but it kept saying that I exceeded my tags by 20. So yeah, changed it into this. If anyone wants me to upload it to Imgur or something instead I'll do that.

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!

I have several images in different layer in PS3 ( macro images with different points of focus).
I have aligned all layers ok, but when trying to blend the layer (all layers selected) using the auto blend layers tools, the tool does not give me the stacked images button.
Instead it launches straight into the process.
The results are not what I am expecting, each layer bar one has a totally black mask, and the image is not a blend of all the images.
All tutorials for the process using CS3 show a button for selecting "stack images" mine doesn't.
Am I doing something wrong?
Please help as I am going mad with it

Long story short...I need a way to quickly drag multiple images to my canvas and put them in certain places without any of them overlapping each other. At the moment, when I select multiple images and drag them onto the canvas, they all sit on top of each other right in the middle until I go to each layer and move to their own space.

Is there a way I can automate the images to go to the correct position? Having to go layer by layer doing that manually takes a lot of time when I have 20+ images per sheet so I'm hoping there is a quicker way. I'm well aware of actions but not sure how I can use that to place images to different parts of the canvas. As far as I know, creating an action will put each image on the same spot of the canvas but hopefully I'm wrong about that and someone can show me the correct way of setting it up.

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 ..

Hello,
I have a quite specific question about the use of Photoshop.

I wish to import a stack of images as layers in a Photoshop file. Then I wish to apply a certain rotation and translation on each of these layers (so no rescaling operation, only rotation and translations).

My question is the following. How can I somehow "save" the parameters of each translation and rotation for each layer so I can apply them on another stack of images later on? Basically, I wish to save the "Transformation matrix" for each layer and then be able to reapply it to another stack of images.

I thought of doing scripts and saving each operation, but I really need to be flexible and be able to go back to my primary stack of images and re-rotate or re-translate them later on if necessary, and resave the "transformation matrix".

Thank you in advance for your help and your time

Best,
Julia

I have a series of images taken at different dates, some many years apart, and want to get them as correctly aligned as possible. The images were taken from slightly different positions and with somewhat different focal length lenses. The result would be two images of the same scene from the different dates but corrected for various distortions. Obviously it will not be possible to correct for all distortions and positional effects but a lot could be done. I am assuming there will be a tool where you can click on a range of points in each image and tell the program its the same thing in each picture and the program will automatically transform one or both of the images so that they are more similar to each other. I have found plenty of warping and morphing tools in photoshop but not one that will do this.

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

Hello! I am new to this forum and signed up for the specific purpose to get expert advice.

I am doing research on a project and was wondering if anyone can tell me if these two images can possibly be manipulated images. I used to work with Photoshop, but it's been over 10 years now. I know the technology has come a long way so its hard to decipher what is real and what is not real. These are screen shots, because I am new, I cannot post a link yet.

Thanks you!
