How To Remove White Space Around An Image

Hello,
I am not sure if this is even a necessary worry of mine nut I will pitch it out anyway. I will be printing the attached file on the back of a white t-shirt and I wondered if there was any technique that could be used to reduce the harshness or abruptness of the image that may be seen when the image is printed onto the white shirt. The color at the edges of the image is very light / almost white so fortunetly in most areas of the print you may not be able to clearly see the edge. if I am not making any sense I guess what I am trying to say is I would like for it to seem like the image fades away at the edges slighhtly rather than seeing a clear edge of the picture. I could imagine using some kind of edge eraser tool with a spotty brush or partial opacity but not really sure the best way to try and achieve it. The picture unfortunetly has texy of my url running very close to the edges so I would like to be careful that we don't fade any text away. Just wondered I would see if there was a quick and easy way to do it. Ideas are welcome. If you do any work please post back your .psd file and a brief description (if it's not too complex) of how you did what you did.
Thanks,
Joe

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.

Hi People,

Okay, on google earth you have the option to overlay images onto areas of the planet. For me this is useful to see where a cave runs in respect to the overlying land above. It gives you the option to change the Opacity of the overlain image to show more image or more 'earth', which is nice. However I got to thinking and decided to try and remove all the background white of the survey, then overlay it giving a clearer image of the surrounding land. Unfortunately I end up with the the deleted white showing as brickwork (I understand its to show what is gone and whats left in Photoshop) when I overlay to google earth.

My current survey is a TIFF file.

So is it possible to save an edited image in a file type that when overlain wont show the brick image you get on Photoshop of deleted background.
Is there a file type that can achieve this, and if so what is it?

Thanks in advance

Joe

Hey all,

I'm new and thought I would join when I realised I'm not as good at Photoshop than I thought!

I have an image and I'd like to remove the background. I've tried using the selection tools and rubbers but when I'm done it looks like someone a 5 year old has done it. In fact they would do a better job!

I've attached the image

Just wondering if there is anyone out there that could help.

Thank you!
Ben

Hello,

I hope someone is reading this and has an answer to my problem.

What i want to do:
I have over 300 names (with surnames) listed as a textfile. And i have one image. What i want to do is pasting the text (e.g. name1surname1) on a specific area (which does not change) of the image, and saving the image as jpeg (filename = name1surname1.jpg). Then name2surname2 > saving as name2surname2.jpg, ....
The image is always the same, but the text i have to change (and save-as-jpeg) over 300 times.

As an example:


What my problem is:
I don't have the time to change all 300 names one by one and saving them one by one.
> Using Actions does not solve my problem ofcourse because it is different everytime
> Using Variables (set to the textlayer) and importing datasets COULD solve my problem but:
>> Sometimes one 'name' is longer than the previous one, so it does not fit inside the box:


so i have to change the font size to make it fit again)


What could solve my problem:
A way, which automates all the replacing of the textlayer with the names AND (probably more important) automatically changing the fontsize in case it is too big to fit within the textbox.

I hope there is a way to this. Waiting hopefully for answers thanks in advance!

I am building a composite image, create a new image clean white background and drag from bridge the images I want to use in the composite. Here's my issue...the images I have brought in are automatically turned into smart objects..( love those) so I open one of those placed S/O images and edit/adjust it then save and close...like it should the composite reflects the change. I can open and close that s/o as many times and make tons of changes...again awesome....but I may want to use that same image by itself and want to retain those changes....but when I go to the folder that I took the image from, the original image does not reflect any of those changes.

So my question is, where on my computer does the edited version of the placed image get stored...I'm guessing a temp folder somewhere, but can't find it!! Any body know?

Thanks

Hi everyone, I introduced myself in a former thread. Name is Katie. I'm not new to Photoshop but am new to the more murky world of saving formats for various uses, printing, etc. I am in grad school, we're between semesters, and of all things they haven't really talked about saving! This week I was freelancing and saving to .JPG and .PNG, multiple images.

Problem:
I edited 150 images of product for a retail website on photoshopCS6. Company requires three sizes: two in .jpg, one in .png. Each image was in its own layer, in a group folder; a drop shadow effect was applied to the whole folder. For ea size requirement, I changed the canvas, resized all images at once to fit within it and ran the script.

I was able to run the Script on PS to batch save the .jpgs, and they RETAINED their canvas pixel dimensions in each image (700x525; 170x170). When I ran the same script to PNG-24, it worked but it DID NOT retain the canvas size and they were all wildly different.

I did some research, and found that people had to install script fixes to do this. I installed Dr. Russell's script for Image Processor Pro that should work in PS and Bridge. I tried it, still didn't work to retain size of PNGs. Am I simply using it wrong? Is that the only way to batch save certain file formats?

Because the images were due this morning, I individually saved every png ("save as" not "web/Devices") to ensure they were all 300x350.

I need to know there's a better way to do this for all other file formats, so I don't have to painstakingly save each image.

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?

Hi all

Need someone the remove the backgrounds completely on these images PRETTY PLEASE

i keep trying but get a thin pixel layer of white around the lettering which looks awful!

(On the phone i still want the screen white just the background to the overall image gone)
