Mystery Black Shadow

This is probably an easily solved question as it was something I used to have set before I format my laptop and lost my preferences but here it is..

Before format, when I would apply the Black and White adjustment, my paint brush or pencil tool would automatically pencil/brush colour into the photo, now it doesn't and I can't seem to figure out how to revert it back to how it was. I've Googled it and can't seem to find what I'm looking for, although I think I may be just wording it wrong.

So, as below..



On these pictures I just applied black and white adjustment, hit paint brush or pencil tool and it'd inject colour in to the image, I can't seem to get that to happen anymore.

As I mentioned, someone will probably solve this really quickly.

Appreciate any help you can give.

Hallo everybody,
following a tut about Photoshop compositing, I have to create a fake shadow on the ground. I make it pretty good (see image 1) using tre different layer copy with different blendings mode and Opacity.




But when i Merge three layer i loose my semitransparent shadow...it becomes completely black, at the starting point...
(see image 2)



What it wrong?

And than, if I want to blur the (unique) faked shadow layer, how can i male it without blurring all layers of the document? I try to use an empty layer as a Clipping mask, and I applied blur to it, without results...
please help!

Thx!

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

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here knew how to recreate the multi colored gradient shadow effect on the image below. I have the black outline of the object that I want to be surrounded by the gradient, and I want to recreate it so that it is exactly how it is in the flyer below. Thank you.

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,

Today I saw a picture that looks different on black background and on white. There is an example attached. Does anybody knows how to do this? I found an explanation on the link below, but doesn't worked for me (when I create the subtract layer, it doesn't result on a transparency layer):

graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/9088/image-that-looks-different-on-black-background-and-on-white

All I know is that the final image must be a PNG file, with transparency on it... But don't know how to merge the two images to get the effect of different images depending on the background color (black or white).

Can anybody help me to understand that effect?

hey guys, i was wondering how can i create a very soft shadow around the baby cloths?

the first pictures is mine, the second picture is to show the shadow I'm looking to get.

Thank you all

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)?





Mod edit: The link was dead. Please upload an image if possible, thanks.

I have a load of images that I have been given by a manufacturer, some have white backgrounds and are great. Others, have a black background..and are not great. I am needing to edit these black background images to be like the white background images.

You'll notice for the product (attached images) that there is packaging immediately around the yellow string. It's this bit that I am finding incredibly hard to change from the blackish colour to the whitish colour, shown in the picture with the white background.

Does anyone have any ideas please how I can change this black area to be like the 'good' photo? Any help is greatly appreciated.
