Matching Paper And Line Color On Graphite Drawings

Hi Everyone!

I'm having a slight problem matching the paper on a number of drawings done on the same paper with the same graphite.

I intend to have these screen printed and while it'd be ideal to mask out the paper, the detailed nature of the drawings does not allow me to do so.

Here's my question then. How might I get all these drawings to match accurately enough to isolate the colors and values? Matching the whites even?

I've tried masking out the pencil and using curves to maintain the slight red while applying a b/w filter to the rest of the drawing and a photo filter on top of that. Unfortunately this still doesn't create the uniformity I need.




Thanks!

Schematic Drawings

I'm trying to liven up some equipment drawings for a current architecture by doing something similar to the image below. I have the CAD linework and a SketchUp model ai can render if necessary. Any tips about how best to go about this?

Background Problems

Hi,


Perhaps is a small introduction for a newbie on this forum (like me) a good idea:
I'm a Beglian chemical engineering student and I'm building my first website, but
unfortunately I've stumbled upon a BIG problem.

Like you can see, I use a picture as a background: a paper "glued" to a a wall.
This paper is a little bit opaque (the texture and color of the wall is visible through the paper).

But here is the problem: I'm bounded to the length of this paper. I can't write longer texts than the length of the paper.
Here you can see the problem: Slalom
The bottom part of the text falls out of (actually below) the paper.

Luckily I have found the perfect solution for the problem. But for this I need to remove paper and the scotch tape from the picture.
And that's where I really need your help. This kind of editing is completely beyond my reach.


I did not think about this during the designing phase, so now I'm really stuck with this problem.
By the way: you will notice that the website is not finished yet.

Photoshop Color Match Question

So I'm trying to get the black on this hood, to match the rest of the car. I'm not very skilled with photoshop but I did a ton of things on it already just can't do color stuff.

Would someone mind matching the colors for me real quick? I would greatly appreciate it!!

White Text Not Printing From Cs4?

Hello,

I am trying to help a neighbor with a birthday invitation in CS4. For some reason, when we print the image, the text color is missing. We are trying to print the image on pink paper. The text layers are a silver color. No matter what color we change the text layers to, it won't print them in the chosen color. It just shows up as the pink paper. I have attached a screen shot.

Could anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Printing Photos - Too Much Cropping

Using PS CC. I have set a photo to an image size of 4x6. I am uploading to an online photo printing service to purchase multiple copies of the photo on 4x6 glossy paper. I've tried both Costco Photo and Shutterfly but the cropping that is required cuts into the people shown on the photo. I tried increasing the print size to 5x7 but it cropped even more. If I use my own printer, I can reduce the photo to fit the paper size. This option is not available online. I tried reducing the image size to 5x3, but that doesn't work either. How do I format my photo to eliminate so much cropping with these online services? Thanks for any help you can give me. I've been using Photoshop for several years and have gone to two classes. Unfortunately, I only use it a few times a year so it's almost always like being a newb! Anne

Converting Image To 3 Layers For Silk-screening

Hello! I'm making a poster for silk-screening. Each color needs to be on a separate layer so that each color can be hand-printed one at a time. Foolishly, I did not draw the colors on separate layers. I need a layer for the white outline, a layer for the purple, and the remaining layer the black (which will just be the color of the paper for those familiar with silk-screening). Posterizing doesn't seem to work, and selecting color range doesn't seem to nail it exactly either. I would greatly appreciate any help.

I am attaching the PSD file. Please do not reproduce this image (though i don't know why anyone would!)

Making A Sample Picture Of A Printed Card For Online Display

Okay, so here's the deal. I have a vintage valentine card that I want to sell as a printable. Currently though I am unable to print this out myself. The problem with this is that I can't take product sample pictures of this image in various uses. Right now I would like to create a "photo" of this vintage card as it would look if someone printed it out on card stock paper, then cut it out along the image outline. This would give a fold-able "greeting card" style, but the card would not be your typical square or rectangle, as the person would cut out the card along the image edge.


Here is the vintage valentine. It is in PNG format to preserve the transparent background.




Here is a similar example of the effect I want to create:


But I want to make the above effect, as if the valentine was cut out along the image edges, and not simply printed on a rectangular card. How would I create a product sample use "photo" with the vintage image in a cut out, standing up, card image?

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,

Prove To Me That You Are Photoshop Guru's

I think I came to the right place

So, I have this picture




This picture...Contains many gems. As you can see, behind the cross text of Rihanna and Kanye, there are words showing from the piece of paper behind it. A lot of letters are legible, but the full word is hard to make out. I noticed that when I tilt my screen though, it sort of becomes easier to read, however I still can't make out the words.

This can be key to unlocking a lot of information for Rihanna and Kanye fans, such as myself. If one of you are able to manipulate the picture to make the words behind the paper legible, I'm sure news outlets around the world will pick it up, and will credit this site.

So, if you guys are truly photoshop guru's, you should be able to do something. Prove yourselves..

Recover Faded Script Against Textured Background

Hi,
I have been asked by a friend to recover the faded writing in this photo. (Reproduce the entire photo with the script visibly clearer/readable.) Although I can bring more clarity to the writing, I am unable to do so without enhancing the background texture of the paper it's printed on (using selective colour controls, levels & contrast). I have tried using the magic wand with only partial success. Can anyone please suggest a better approach?
Thank you.
Peter
PS: I do not have access to the original print, only a CR2 photo of it.
