Photoshop Cc 14.2.1 - Icon Transformation Help

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

Hi Guys,

I am sure this is a really simple thing to do and I thought that saving the image as a PNG was the answer.

I am trying to customise the folder icons in the dock on my iMac as show in the image below. However, as you can see I get white space around the edges and I thought that saving it as a PNG would avoid this.

Can anyone advise what I need to do.

Hi, I'm currently trying to design a logo for my very own streaming channel. I am having problems merging two pictures together but I don't have Photoshop or any Photoshop knowledge and I would appreciate it very much if anyone could help. I was recommended to come here by a friend who was having similar issues.

I'll attach the two images with an explanation of what I would like it to look like :)

I would like the blue picture to be the main background and the other one to be overlaid over the top with all the gaps to be transparent.
All of the small images have white backgrounds or glow/shadow effects so when I tried transparent effects on Paint, lots of little white dots where surrounding everything and thing with glow like effects still had their glow only in white.

Thank you in advance
Andrew

Hey, im at work now and i dont have access to photoshop, anyway, is there a chance anybody can remove the background of this and make the size 4x3CM (Centimeters)? I tried to do this in one of the "webphotoshop" pages but didnt work out that good.
Its for an ID card and i have already checked if im allowed to do this in this way.

I have attached the file to this thread.

Request: Remove the background and make it transparent or with a white background.

I upgraded to PS '14. Could no longer launch [edit in] from LR. Uninstalled and then reinstalled PS. Reinstalled plug-ins.

It can be launched from LR now.

However when I go to the program in windows and right click and select pin to taskbar, it does appear there, but it appears as a white sheet of paper with folded corner icon.

How do I make it appear as the blue and aqua icon with PS in it? If I create a shortcut on the desktop it appears as normal.

I always a little surprised that a company that can make so many cool, complicated and well done products cannot make a decent installer or uninstaller.

regards, David

i have a signature watermark i put on my favorite images currently i have it is saved as a psd so i open it then move it onto the image, i was trying too create a brush that done this but the writing is white so becomes transparent when i make a new brush and only the camera icon is visible, i also tried to create an action where i recorded opening the psd , moving it onto an image, i was hoping this would work but didnt , something about move brush not defined if i remember, also the brush i created turns out sort of a green color see bottom image i know there probably a simple way around it and would appreciate any help , ive attatched an image of the signature so you know where im at , its transparent i just put a grey layer behind so you can see,

Hi,When a black and white image is engraved by laser engraving, the engraving itself appears white on some materials.In other words black in the image is engraved white and white/gray gradually becomes transparent. (This is not simply the black and white image inverted)This is an example:



can I simulate this effect in Adobe Photoshop (CS6)?

Hello,
I am still in the learning mode with Photoshop. I've run across something I am clueless about. How to save a transparent png or gif. I saved it like I do in PSP but when I posted it on another forum, it has a black background. Can you explain to me how to save it transparent the right way?

Thanks-

Ok this is my wife jet washing the front of her car (mine is behind her) i took a cheeky snap of her through her back window she never knew i was there ha ha.
Very rare to see her hand washing her car usually i get told to do them all or she goes through the local car wash.
My request is this can you remove the white haze from the image leaving it as good and as clear as possible?
I can do it but i am interested to see how you guys do, please watermark if you wish, but i honestly have no wish to keep it, this was taken solely with the forum in mind.

Is there a way to make transparent lettering? Just the lettering outline with no inner colors (using photoshop 7)?
