Photoshop And Surface

Hi Guys. Wondering if someone can recommend the best Tablet for Photoshop Edits.
I know nothing about them. I have been told they are better than a mouse.
I have had Photoshop for a long time and now my hand is getting a little shaky. (Senile Decay)
Brand and model you use would be so helpful. Thanks!

Hi, first time on this forum so please feel free to move this if it's in the wrong category.

I recently bought a HP Pavilion 15-p014tx which has a touchscreen. I enjoy doing a bit of photoshop on the side in my spare time and figured I'd take advantage of the touchscreen when using photoshop. I was wondering which stylus people recommend for to use for photoshop as my chubby fingers are hardly adequate to do such a job.

Thanks,
George.

Hi everybody!I was drawing on my tablet in Photoshop. I just saved my work in PSD extension (as I always do because it allows me to use it in different programs like Photoshop,Corel,IllustStudio and SAI without merging the layers), then I went and added few more 'dots' on it, then saved it again so I can get out of the program, but whole computer froze and I waited for atleast 5-7 min but it wouldn't unfreeze itself so I manually restarted it. When I turned it on and went to check on my file, it wouldn't want to open in neither of the programs I have!Every program kept saying: ' Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document.'Please help me, I've been doing this piece whole day, and it's one of my best works ever, I really don't want to loose it.Thanks all.

Hi again, all.

In my search for everything photoshop, I came across this .... http://www.toolpic.com/ .

It certainly looks almost like Photoshop's interface (at least to me). I tried playing with it and looks good.

Are there limitations to what it can do compared to Photoshop?

Is this legal to use considering it looks like photoshop and exists freely in the internet?

I have a problem with photoshop. Everything I do gets pixelated.

When I paste or place an object from Illustrator CS6 I choose place as smart object and as soon as I pace it it gets pixelated. I have tried with and without the anti-aliased box checked. When the box is checked photoshop pixelates the image and when the box is not checked the image looks really strange and digital with the pixels showing. All curves that were smooth and nice in Illustrator looks jagged and strange.

When I try and draw a shape in photoshop it looks in the layer-list like it's a shape layer but the object is heavily pixeled.

I have tried opening a file created in Autocad (by using dwg to PDF) and opening it as a smart object in Photoshop. Everything is pixelated.

When starting a new file in PS I have a 300 pix per inch resolution, 16 bits RGB color, sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as my color profile and square pixels as my pixel aspect ratio.
Under general preferences I have the box for "Place or drag raster images as smart objects" (I have also tried without it). I have also tried with the box for "snap vector tools and transform to pixel grid" on and off.


Regardless of what i do photoshop still pixelates everything. I have no idea what to do. Could there be some sort of setting that I have overlooked?

hi friends,

i'm a software developer , web, desktop and mobile applications. Currently i'm learning Photoshop. I need to learn Photoshop is to create web graphics (control Icons, web banners and adverts etc.), desktop applications graphics (Icons and images) and application icons for mobile devices. At the moment i have a training video series by "lynda.com" but it teaches me how to modify / manipulate images taken from cameras and make post cards and so forth. My Photoshop basics are really bad. So i need to learn everything from the scratch. For my purpose could anyone tell me the best Photoshop video training series out there?

thanks

Hello,

I am completely new to this forum so I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place. I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and have a question regarding file size/quality. So, here it goes.

I am currently working on publication that requires all downloaded photos to be uploaded to a website that has a max file size of 20 mb. When I download an image to use for a background (some sort of a pattern that is normally somewhere around 800 x 800 size) the image is about 180 kb which is perfect. Unfortunately, the image has a poor ppi resolution and prints extremely blurry so in photoshop under image size, I increase the resolution so that the file size & resolution is bigger. This takes a lot of guessing on my part.

For example, if I increased the image resolution to 100000000 ppi, the file size would end up way over 20 mb which does me no good. So what I am wondering is, is if there is a way to optimize the the resolution of the image, given the file size limitations, without all of the guess and check?

If this looks confusing, I apologize and will gladly explain more. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
l would really appreciate some help since I am coming to a deadline for printing some material. My problem seems to me like it should be quite eas, I have come close to a sufficient solution on my own but still not quite good enough resolution to print 24"x18" signs. In any case my issue is that I have an old design file of mine for a 5"x3" sticker with a logo on it as seen. When I try to enlarge it to the 24"x18" size the edges are way too pixelated. I have tried different selection techniques as well as refining the edges but no luck to make a high res version as yet. It's a rather simple shape and frankly I don't even care if it is redrawn to match at high res. In any case here is a copy of the logo in its native size on a 24x18 photoshop canvas. There is an image and an attachment Photoshop file, I would greatly appreciate it if someone can download the photoshop file and repost it with their efforts.
Thanks,
Dino

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!

Hello everyone,

One year ago I posted a photo of a friend to do some funny pictures with it. (Photoshop Request : Have Fun)

Now I ask you just to have fun with another photo of another friend.



Maybe for the first idea I thought about a butterfly... If you have other ideas have fun !
