Cut Out Bold Effect

Hi All

I am reasonably new to photoshop but am wanting to get a lot better! I am quite interested in being able to change the colours/livery of objects in photos most notably trains due to this being one of my main interests.

I have an image of a train and I want to edit the livery but keep an element of realism.so It doesn't just look drawn like a cartoon. I have made an attempt at this but I am not massively happy with the results. I have uploaded both a copy of the original image and a copy of my amended image. My main problem is the lack of realism, because I am trying to go from a very light colour to quite a dark blue I seem to lose a lot of the detail from the original image.

I have also uploaded an image of the sort of thing I would like to achieve. The person who has done this makes a really good job of them and I would love to be able to achieve similar results.

The way I have created my image is simply but creating adjustment layers for hue and saturation and levels and played with the settings until I get something like.

Does anyone have any tips on how I can make a better attempt at changing to colour so it retains an element of realism?

Hi,
I have a colour image of a scene and several greyscale images of similar scenes.
I would like to use the colour information from the colour scene and add it to the greyscale images,thereby making them colour also.
I am sure there is more than one way to do this, but the way I imagined it would work was to some how sample all the colours and then map them individually to the 256 (or more ?) grey levels.
The colous wouldn't change because I would choose a 'standard' image but the greyscale images would all be different.
I have tried searching the net for info but I don't think I am entering the correct terms, so any guidance would be appreciated.

thanks.

how can i use photoshop to make a tooth colour analysis?
here you can see a print out from a device that does that...but i want to achieve that with ps.

-i take a picture of my patient with a gray card and ringlight to set the correct white balance.

-i also have a picture of a objective colors also taken with gray card so the white balance of those two pictures should be the same.

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!

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

Hi,

I have a colour swatch and I would like to create a custom gradient from it.
Can this be done 'automatically' rather than just picking what I 'think' is a 50% bright colour and putting at the halfway stop etc.
If this isn't possible is it possible to order the swatch colours in brightness order and go from there manually?

Many Thanks

Hi there!

im having an issue when I convert my photo to CMYK from RGB in photoshop.
The colour loss is huge, which is a shame but something I can adjust, however the other issue is that it's actually losing a lot of the detail with it. It's giving it the kind of effect you have when you whack the gamma up, almost like a solarised/white layer overlay effect or something. I've tried with the original and the flattened file but the results are similar.
The image may potentially be blown up to bus ad type size so it's really important the detail is still there.

Is there any cheat fix to this or perhaps something I'm missing?

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

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.

Hi I've just created a white circle. I would like to add some shading on it to make it appear more 3D.

I use the gradient tool...but instead of it being white...with dark grey/black shading. It goes from white and fades to the colour of the background it's on. I've spent hours messing around with the gradient tool and the colours will not change. It just fades to whatever background it's on rather than a specified colour. All I want is a white sphere with black shading...rather than see through white.

It's driving me mad.

Cheers
