Quick Question : ).

Hey PSG,

It's been a while since I last posted, I have been busy on my new clothing line, very educational I must say. Hope you are all doing well.

I am posting to see if anyone has any reccemendations for "FREE" commercial use images. I have highlighted free in bold because a quick google search brings up endless pages of "free" images.

Now many of these images claiming to be free are copied of the internet, such as google images, therefore they are going to land me into trouble further down the line. It's hard to take someones word if it belongs to themselves, or someone else.

Therefore, if any of you are aware of any websites that you can trust that all the images OK to use, please share it with me.

So for the first picture as well as the second, how do you all blend the textures onto the words well because I mask it on or clip the texture onto the text and it always turns out bad which is what I did in the third picture, I darken the texture and duplicate the texture and clip that on the text so it is lighter and it still looks odd especially when I apply blending modes. Now I did obviously rush on cutting out the person, but I usually use the quick selection tool so it still looks a bit off, so is the eraser tool better to use as shown in the fourth photo to get the girl cut out perfectly? And those are my questions, about the texture of the text and how to blend it and how to cut out specific parts of artwork of an album cover well and how to wrap anything around the text such as locks as in the second picture, so I really need help on answering those questions because no matter what I do, it turns out like the 3rd picture. I need steps and pictures so I can see your workflow and how you all do these lyric edits, thankyou! (Right click on the photo right next to this, the little icon so you can open and see the image)

Who would have thought that 3D animation in PS was even possible..?

I didn't.

With time on my hands over Easter I'd thought I'd try and get to grips with the 3D part of PS, not because I'm ever going to use it but there have been several PS 3D related questions on the forum lately and well, I couldn't answer any of them because I just didn't know enough about the 3D part of PS.

Well.....after a short time playing around with it its pretty clear its not perfect, but, it does do some pretty advanced stuff for an image editor...



Ok, so its no masterpiece and its not going to win any prizes but its pretty impressive considering its not a 'major' part of PS.....there is a lot going on in just that 5 second clip.

Anyway, I'm going to continue playing and see what else this 3D thang can do.

I'll say now though that without my background in professional 3D applications I would be totally lost. Fair play to Adobe for using the right terminology but I can image most people would be lost at the fist fence.....I found very little [useful] documentation on 3D in PS when searching for help.

So that's my Easter plan.....that and copious amounts of chocolate of course.

Watch this space!

Regards.

Hello, I am opening a new game studio and need a graphic designer to create logos, backgrounds and wallpapers.

I know asking for someone to do this for free is quite a lot I am willing to pay you once I get funding to produce our first game, so if your good you may be able to stay around to create design work for our production in games.

Here is a short description of our company:

We're a team of two who were founded in January, 2015. Our goal is to produce high quality, innovative works of electronic art. We are mostly interested in creating games that include rich, open world, multiplayer environment

If your interested in doing some free design work until I receive fundings, I would be glad to here from you. Post in this thread or contact me here

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?

Good evening. I'm new here- not sure why I didn't have an account long ago.

I have a question- I'm aware of many sites that offer photos for free personal use and even commercial use however, does anyone know of any sites that have free photos for commercial re-sale permitting that the photo itself has been manipulated to the degree in which it is not longer identifiable as the original image?

I know that this is a stretch- as I understand and respect that no one does anything for fun and sharing however, it's a shot.


Thanks for taking the time to read this over.

Surgeons of the sight and physicians of photos, I challenge thee! I lost quite a bit of weight between the time of me getting this photo taken and now (25lbs or so). I'd really like to see what you fine folks are capable of in terms of editing. If you can make some 'weight loss' look as realistic as possible, that would be just smashing. (not as if you guys and gals aren't skilled enough at that as it is!). ;)

Specifically, I need my face thinned out a bit and my stomach sorted out a tad. Don't worry about anything below the bass guitar as I am pretty much just using the top half of the photo. As a token of my sincere gratitude, for any entry, I will be happy to for you to message me whenever you like for my knowledge on music practice, theory and anything else. Any questions, just ask.

Take care and happy editing!

(PS - Message me if you need a higher quality version. I'm not sure what to expect as I'm so new here)

Hi I have a question which I'm fighting with for several years. Daily I work as car wrap designer so a lot of my projects are cut by cutting plotters.
Every work I create has to be made of tiff file with bleed and a vector .eps file containing cut line.

the problem is sometimes client wants shapes so abstract that ContentAwareFill just cant do the trick.
same with active selection and Cmd+Alt+ arrow keys while selection is still active because sometimes art ic made of several floating objects.

(I hope I'm describing it enough, sorry for my bad english )

here are the images to show you what I mean:

01. main image


02. cut line

03. final work


As you can look closer bleed spreads in every direction uniformly:



I know I can use smudge, yes in example like above. but If I have tree with many many leaves floating.. I should manually smudge bleed of every leaf.

Question is:
Do you have "automated" solution? plugin? action? script? or just different idea than CAFill, smudge tool, or pixel shifting?

Thank you

Morning!

I was wondering if you guys would mind helping me understand how I should be setting my monitor up and which colour profiles I should be using. Bearing in mind i don't have the spare money to buy a monitor calibration setup right now i'm going to have to make do for the time being with the monitors settings themselves.

I've always felt that my images when printed out seemed darker and more saturated than they did on the screen. Thinking it was my printer I would just lighten them to the point they looked washed out and then reprint, repeating until I was happy with the print. Having recently been given a new printer it does exactly the same so I'm guessing its my monitor that might be at fault.

I'll be very honest and say that I have tried to research this on the internet but it's going over my head and there are so many different opinions I'm getting a little lost.

I thought if I were to ask for help here I could get a dialogue going and be able to ask for clarification.

Currently I'm using an iMac running Mavericks which is set to Adobe RGB (1998) under the display settings.

I'm not doing any professional work where I need to check colours with clients or anything for the time being I just wish my printed images looked more like they do on screen.

thanks in advance for any help you might be able to pass my way.

Hi guys, I have recently been attempting to update an old business card for my parents business but just can not make it look very good :L
I would be extremely grateful if somebody could help out and give it a go Here is my attempt at making one:


If you would like to help out and try and make one it would be much appreciated
It would need to include all the information on the card above and be the sameish colours (dark maroon)
It would also need some space for two or three images
I want it to all be on one side
(Standard business card size is 85mm x 55mm
Basically just an updated, more professional looking card than the one i have made above

Thankyou!!
Matt
