Template Help - "place Photo Here"

I used a psd template a while back that allowed me to change the text on the photo by changing it in the layers pallet as opposed to changing it on the actual photo itself. How do I change a text layer to make it editable in the layers pallet?

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

I have a file with 760 layers plus a background that is a photo. The layers are rasterised smart layers from Illustrator

I have a task by which I have to have the background always visible. I then make the first layer visible as well as the background and then save for web and devices. Once one I turn that layer off and then turn the next layer on and then save for web and devices. 760 times Oh God!!!!

I know I can create an action and even a droplet from the action the issues I have is how do I tell the action to turn the first layer on and then optimize the resultant image and then turn that layer off and then move to the nest layer and so on through the 760 layers

Any ideas would be great

Thanks

I've just discovered the existence of the Knockout feature in the Layer Blending Options. If you select Deep Knockout it allows your current layer to bypass all intermediate layers below it and instead blend only with the original, bottom Background layer.

I tried a few experiments and got Deep Knockout to work, but it only seems to work if the original background layer is present and intact. If I delete or rename the background layer, or substitute something else as my bottom layer, the Deep Knockout doesn't recognize this new bottom layer as the "Background" and drills right past it down to emptiness---an entire screen of blank pixels.

How do I take the bottom-most layer of my stack and redefine it as a Background, so that Deep Knockout will recognize it? (Also, I've never understood why Photoshop even bothers with the background layer, what special properties it has, and what advantage it provides vesus any other "normal" layer that sits at the bottom of the stack.)

Thanks

Hi folks, newbie to the board. I'm using Photoshop CS6 and have hit an issue that I can't get to the bottom of and was hoping someone could help.

I've completed an image for a client. The original involves many layers, and I have got to the point when I want to merge everything down into a PDF for them to send to their printers.

Problem I am having is that when I try to directly save as a PDF or merge down the layers in a copy of my main PSD file, I am losing certain layer styles.

I have tried creating a blank layer below an offending layer and hitting CTRL + E, I have tried creating a blank layer, hiding all but the offending layer and blank layer and merging visible, I have tried Layer - Rasterize Layer Style, I have tried turning the layer into a smart object and then rasterizing (I lost the layer style as soon as I turned it into a smart object, even though it is still present in the smart object itself), and I have tried turning the layer into a group and merging the group. I have also tried saving the file in a number of different formats to no avail. I don't know what else I can try and why none of this has worked! I've also tried right clicking on the FX in the layer palette and chosen "Create Layers" at which point I get a dialog: "Some aspects of the effects cannot be reproduced with layers", and I get the same result. Most noticeable style that disappears is the drop shadow.

Weird thing is this isn't the case for every layer. I've particularly noticed it happens on text layers that have been text warped. However I've tried rasterizing them before trying to merge and that hasn't helped so I can't see how that is the problem.

I hope someone can help, I am totally stumped. If it makes a difference the mode is CMYK Color, 8 bit.

Hi everyone!
I found a video on you tube on how to make burn edge effect on your photo. Everything looks great..except that it seems the paint brush i used to erase the edges left an "impression" LOL. It started to show up when i did the "Inner Glow" command. As you can see on the photo attached. How do i get rid of this?? I should add that I'm new to photo shop.

Thanks for everyone's help. I do appreciate it

Hello guys! A friend of mine wants me to take a photo of him similarly as the image attached in this post. I wonder if the "warm" colours of this photo have been created by the lighting setup or by a PS filter; if so, how can I recreate it? Thank you very much for your attention.

P.S. Sorry for my English, i'm Italian

I have this photo, all I want is for the cracks in the photo and what not to be fixed, The embossed stamp is fine, unless you can do that too. I am not sure if this is difficult to do, but if you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

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
