Hey, How Do I Achieve This Color?

About six years ago i made a small pixel image, enlarged it quite a bit and applied one or more filters in Photoshop to make it look cool.Now i want to make a similar effect on a different picture, however i am unable to find what i did to achieve this effect.Does anyone have a clue of what it is that i might have done? i have gone through every single filter in CS5 and i am not finding anything that produces the same effect.

Here is the before pixelated pictu



Here is the after picture (added color to eyes manually):


Please Help!

Hello everyone. It's been quite a long time since I've been here. I am attempting to add people to a family portrait I took (they are awful at telling time) and due to the pictures being taken about 2 hours apart from each other, the shading on the faces and clothing are just out of whack. Can anyone give any tips on how I can achieve mimic the shading of the group on the two people that were late or at least something makeshift that will suffice albeit not perfect??

This is my first attempt at this and it is to be a Christmas present for everyone in my family so I'm trying to make it not look.... well, amateur lol

All tips are appreciated. I have about 3-4 years experience w/ the software but I never used it extensively enough to know how to achieve this.

Thanks a lot!!

Hello everybody

Can anyone tell me how I can create portraits like this? I think the camera settings are very important but this picture has been edited a lot. Anyone know how I can achieve images like that with photoshop?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Hi all,

Having trouble with this problem...

I have layer 1 with a color mask set to black, red, blue etc.
I have layer 2 with a color mask which i want to match and also become black, red, blue

There are hundreds of files, and the color in layer 1 is always different.

Manually i would simply click on the layer 2 mask which opens the color picker, and select the area of layer 1 i want to match.

But doing that in a macro does not work.

I can't get a macro to recognize that i want to copy the color content of a mask, and not the specific color used in the example during which the macro is recorded. The color picker does not seem capable of selecting a dynamic input (e.g. whater color is on layer 1), it simply copies whatever was in layer 1 during recording like a dumb instrument.

thanks for any input.

I'm not talking about the polaroid texture, but the colors, this grey color and stuff. Anyone?

Hello all,

An intermediate Photoshop user here... Please see the attached image.

How can I make the yellowish background more equal in color? I mean, how can I make it fairly the same color, get rid of the brighter and darker portions? Tried everything I know, no real success. Cannot use the clone stamp tool, there are also graphics (the little stars), will take ages if even possible.

How would you do it? Is there some kind of magic button?


I have also attached the psd file... (diffrent image, not the one shown below, same problem)

So I am a self taught photoshopper and I had a friend ask me to do cover art for his next album. He's just a small time local artist and had the pretty generic idea of a photo mosaic of his face made up of other pictures, but I don't believe in doing poor quality work. I'm a little lost on how to go about this project though. I know that I have to place photos of the same color on his face to build it up but I'm not sure how to start. All I can find for tutorials on the subject either use the same photo over and over or use overlay or something to make the photos appear to be the right color when they aren't actually. Or people just use software to do it for them. Can anyone help with either tips or a link to a tutorial or anything about how to organically make a photo mosaic in photoshop. I don't want to use software because he wants to make money off his album and I don't want to step on copyright infringements and I also think it looks stiff. Any tips??

Hi All,

I have an question regarding the indexing of colors I have not found an answer to online. I have a set of 400 indexed colors that are real life, profiled paint colors I use. I would like to simplify images to (e.g. the mona lisa). To say 20 colors, or any custom number i choose.

The limit with indexed photoshop colors seems to be 256, this means when i import my custom 400 color pallet, only the first 256 appear in the custom color table and the images miss many of the necessary colors to make the image seem balanced.

Is there an additional tool / program to get around this? Is there a script that could be written? If help is beyond a quick answer, but can be achieved, I am happy to pay for time.

Note: I cannot reduce my pallet to 256, as it will not produce enough variation and detail, dithering of any kind is also not an option.

Thanks in advance

So I'm designing a backdrop for my band in the style of the backdrop that The Beatles used on their Budokan gigs. Here you can see it being mimicked by a tribute band:

And I've been trying hard to achieve the same effect with the same colours without any success whatsoever; that is, the text starting sort of in the middle and coming out like that. I figured maybe somebody here could suggest what I should search for to find the right tutorial (I don't quite know what word is appropriate to describe the effect), or maybe even make a tutorial for me.

i've created an action that selects color range many times with fuziness: 15. i'd like to change this value 15 to any other ex.20. right now i have to manually change it many times.
