Getting Spray Paint Effect On Rockface?

Hey guys! This is my first post but I'm stuck. I've been editing with Photoshop for a while and can normally get my way through any issue I've had. But not so with this. I have the attached image that I like but I want to remove the words that are spray painted on the wall. Basically I want to keep the blue background but make it still look faded and like spray painted brick.

I don't want someone to edit this photo for me, just give me an idea as to how to accomplish this. I've tried the color replacement tool as well as the color replacement adjustment. I've also tried the clone stamp and pattern stamp tools. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Hello Photoshop Guru forum, I think I need one such guru's help for something- I'm trying to conform a graphic logo image with text (currently using a non-vector) to curve along the edge of a circle without distorting the letters and such. The warp tool is somewhat helpful but too haphazard. In general I use PS more for painting and such, so my experience working with paths is limited.. anyone know what technique makes the most sense in this situation?

To reiterate, this is for a sticker project, so I'm trying to wrap a logo along the edge of a circular sticker. It doesn't occupy too much space, as it's going along the curve with other text. Using Photoshop CS4 on a Mac. Thanks for any assistance you guys can offer.

Hi!

I'm having this problem since I upgraded to Photoshop CC.

This logo is made with a Brush preset that I created when I was using Photoshop CS6, but now that I'm using photoshop CC, when I use the "Drop Shadow" option and I rasterize the layer, the shadow fixes itself into something that I don't want, I've tried a lot of things, but just can't make it look correctly.



The first picture shows the logo with the effect before rasterizing, and the second photo is after rasterizing.


What could be wrong? Help!

Hi Everyone. Im certainly not new to Photoshop. I have been using it since 1998 everyday. I am a graphic designer.
Think the reason I never come across this problem usually is because I make all my artwork for print in Indesign.
EG bring vectors in and images etc.
This particular project I have loads of textures that go over vector smart objects in Photoshop. As part of the look I need these textures and light leaks flooding across over the vectors I have placed in Photoshop.
Its a Zfold brochure and have built the whole thing in Photoshop due to the style I wish it to look.

MY PROBLEM
I have exported a 1x front of brochure and 1x Back as a Photoshop PDF and placed into indesign so I can use my fold and crop marks. This makes the live type that was in photoshop perfect and cant tell the difference that it was originally in Photoshop, it looks Indesign quality on my laser printer. The vector smart objects though are really blurry. Is there any way to keep the smart objects from rasterizing when saving in a file format?

Hallo everybody,
I make a photo with an wide angle lens and now i'd like to add some 2d and 3d graphic and vectors. Of course I'd like to preserve the original lens distortion, therefore I need to APPLY lens distortion to my graphics to match with photo distortion. How can I make It? There is a plugin or inside effect in Photoshop?

Many thanks!

P.s. Again, NOT REMOVE but APPLY lens distortion.

Hi! I came across this cool photo effect and I was wondering how to do it?


I was looking for any or all of these answers:

Is there any specific name for this effect?
Do you know any tutorial for this effect?
Is there any photoshop action or filter for this effect?





Thanks

Hi guys,
So I'm creating a logo based on the concept of sugar spun (caramel threads). Unfortunately, the logo needs to be at vector form, and so I'm asked to transform a realistic photo of the sugar spun into vector.
Below is the photo of the sugar spun and I want to illustrate all the crystal effect and tonal shades (or at least some) of it digitally. Is there a possible way? Can you guys suggest me how to do that, either by using special effect or drawing them manually...


Thank you very much.

This illustration appeared in today's NY Times Sunday Magazine. I've been trying all afternoon to achieve the same effect in Photoshop using the photo of Charlotte Rampling (sigh!) as an example, but having no luck. When I looked closer at the NY Times article I noticed that the credits say "artwork by Michael Mapes; photograph of artwork by Stephen Lewis", so it appears that Michael Mapes may have actually cut a printed photograph into a thousand circles and stuck pins into each one. But still, it seems like this ought to be do-able in Photoshop.

My idea was to create a custom brush of several roundish shapes and then use scattering and shape dynamics to randomly scatter circular shapes across the photo, create a clipping mask from that, and add the white strokes that are present in most of the circles. (I was going to worry about the push-pins later.) But that didn't work at all... all I did was create an amorphous blob rather than hundreds of individual cirles. Now I'm not sure how to approach this without actually creating each circle one at a time, which would take forever. I'm going to keep plugging away, but I thought this might make a good challenge to see if anyone can re-create the effect.

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.

I have a photo with numerous strips of nearly washed out skin tones and some very dark shadowed ones. Having no luck trying to darken the light and lighten the dark so it presents natural gradients. In fact I can't get those areas to gradually transition at all. They become uniformly too dark or uniformly too light.as if painted with a spray gun. Surely one of you smart people can tell me how to do this.
