Photoshop Frames And Borders

Hi gif smarties!

I am using the animation feature in Photoshop CS5. Im rotoscoping by tracing footage that has been imported to layers. The traced frames are on their own separate layers. Im keeping my workload, per file, to 60 frames (120 layers total). I tried to make a file that was 70 frames instead (140 layers). Now every time I open the animation window, the layers go crazy and the traced layers are moved, uncolored, and generally all weird and wrong. I tried copying the file and breaking it into 2 files of 35 frames each (70 layers) but the damage seems to be done. Opening the animation window screws with the frames. Is there a fix for this or do I simply have to keep files to <60 in the future?

halp halp!

Dear people smarter than me,

I need to do some rotoscope work on a piece of video in Photoshop. I can't use After Effects in this instance, I have to use Photoshop. So I want to cut out the image of a submarine as it is sinking slowly. The sub is slightly rotating as it sinks, so it's basic shape changes only slightly from frame to frame. What would make my life much easier in working with all 200 frames, would be if I could use the lasso tool to draw around the sub and cut out the shape, the copy that shape of lasso selection, and apply it to the next frame around the sub, and then just alter the shape of the lasso, to the now slightly changed shape of the sub. This would speed up the process infinitely, so I don't have to redraw the shape on every single frame. Is there a way to do this? Help, advice, tutelage in this area would be so very much appreciated. Thanks in advance, and I am glad there is a place I can go where people smarter than me are willing to help. Thank you so much!

Cheers,
Carlo

So I have someone who needs some images resized, and wants a 4px border added. He wants the images to be 100x72. So, I make the image 96x68, and then I increase the canvas size to 100x72.

Now I'm not a full on photoshop expert, but to me that would seem like by doing what I did above, would create a 4px border. He's telling me that the border is 2px after I finished it. Could use some advice. Thanks guys.

I am a designer who primarily uses InDesign and Illustrator and have a client that wants to recreate this gold and black gradient beveled embossed looking rectangle... however they want it in Photoshop. I for the life of me, can't remember how to do this with the gradients and changing colors. Is there someone out there that wouldn't mind giving me a step by step process on how to create that background box? I've attached the image. I know how to add the text, and all of the rest of the info, just needed help creating that outer border.

Thank you!

Thanks guys,

Hello
I would like to use "embedded" actions in Photoshop

For instance, I define some "basic" actions

- Action 1
- Action 2
- Action 3

And in a more complex action I would like to have

- New action
...........
Run Action 1
.............
Run Action 3
................

I've seen this possibility used in an action I downloaded, but don't see how I can do it with my own actions

Thanks for your help
Have a good day

Hi to all
I'm sorry for my not so great title, but I just don't eally know how to call what I want to do...
In general, I want to create a picture that if I were to duplicate it and put it on top of the original, it will "connect" and look like a continuation of the original picture.
This is an example of what I wanna do:

I can't use the same method I've used here to create what I want, 'cause I wanna do it on a more complex picture. Like this:

If such an ability can't be achived then maybe is there a way, that if I'm drawing using the brush tool but there is not enough space for the whole brush to be drawn, it will not be drawn?
That is a background for a video game that I am working on and it is very important to me. So if anyone in here know how I can draw things without them being sliced by the borders on the canvas please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Liav

Hello all, I am new to this group. I've had an illustration produced for a client. It was rather complex so decision was made to make it tonally very similar. All well and good, however client has shared it with his customers and the comment came back that it was a bit flat. Client said change it to blue... but we all know that won't really change it - just make it blue and flat. Client budget is spent but I just wondered if there was something whizzy that could be done to add some zing to the illustration by someone with Photoshop expertise. Maybe add some kind of filter around the window frames? I have attached a low-res screen grab - really keen to hear any thoughts sharings this groups of gurus has;) CheerioJulesbunny

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

Hello,

I'm an amateur photographer and did a photo shoot for a friend.
I used a colored background (1 color) but I now want to change that background to white.

I already tried myself with Photoshop and as you Photoshop experts definitely know, changing most of the background is very easy but it's not that easy to do it in such a way that the 'borders' of the person look natural

I'm looking here for someone who is good in this (so definitely no Photoshop amateur) and who's willing to do this for me. I'm prepared to pay a small fee (via Paypal) for it because I want it to be perfect.

I'm talking about 6 photos.
Please note that I don't want the background color to be changed everywhere to 100% white, the (small) shadows of the background (like in the corners of the photo) and the 'gradient' in the background have to stay so it looks more natural.

If you are very experienced in this and if you are interested in this small job, please send me a PM.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Kate
