I have designed a Flyer using Photoshop. First with RGB colors, but I want to change them to CMYK. I use black, white and two pantone colors. Black is used for the text and there is the problem. I select the text, CtrlA, and select the color window in the option bar on top. I have unchecked the Only Web Colors checkbox. I enter C0 M0 Y0 K100 and observe the RGB value in the same color box change to R29 G29 B27, the CMYK values are still C0 M0 Y0 K100, so I press OK and apply in the option bar. Next I reopen the color window in the option bar on top to check the color values. I see the CMYK values are not as I entered before but they are C75 M65 Y62 K81. The RGB values are the same as before, R29 G29 B27. It seems the CYMK values are converted to RGB and the CMYK values are discarded. Whatever I do, I can't have the desired result. Which setting do I have to change to allow CMYK in Text?
can someone tell me how to get the corners and lines from one image changed so that they look as comic like as in picture 2?
I'm wondering if there's any tool or method that I can use to determine where the midpoint is between any two objects in Illustrator. To give a simple example, say I have a simple rectangle at the top of my artboard, and another at the bottom. How can I find the exact centre of the area between those two objects? Additionally, how can I find relative central points, such the centre of the area between the central points of each object? Despite the simple example, I would also like to be able to apply this method to finding the centre point between any two objects, of any shape and placed anywhere on the artboard.
How do I make this picture white on transparent background and keep it's semitransparent parts - (Background is already transparent).
I'm from programmer background. I would like to mimic the color scheme used in most Google Android app such as GMail, Google Analytic, to use them in my own app. Those color looks Elegant Harmony Comfortable I was wondering, usually, for a designer, how does they generate such color scheme?
I wanted to make something like the AwolNation Megalithic Symphony's album cover with the cliffs made into letters. So far I've gotten no where mainly because when I try and use the pen tool and make a mountain picture into part of a letter it looks super ugly. How would you go about making this? Example: 1) Finding a cliff picture 2) Pen-ing the character 3) etc.
I'm working with a team on an app that deals with events(conventions, meetups, weddings, etc) and travel. The closest competitor would be Epilogger. One section in this app is called Activity(ies). The content in here is fairly identical with Facebook's News Feed, or any other social media's content feed. Its basically a list of items(photos and comments) posted by users during an event. I am having a hard time conceptualizing an icon for this. I'm not sure what I want but I know what I don't want: newspaper, pulse, or any specific activity. I'd love some guidance or any input on the matter. So my question is "What are some ways to represent this term as an icon?" And any shared resources, tips, and/or guidance would be very much appreciated. Edit: I use these sites quite a bit for referencing in times like this. I'm sure somebody will also find it useful. Pttrns, Android-App-Patterns, Mobile-Patterns.
I apologize if this question has been answered already, I'm not experienced with Photoshop and not sure what to search for. I'm using CS4. I have a grid made up of different layers, basically like a checkers or chess board, where each square is a different layer. I've decided to change the color of some of the squares. I'm trying to find the best way to do this. It seems I can do this by setting tolerance to 0 on Paint Bucket, since my squares are monocolor. However, in the future they might not be. Is there another way to do this, besides selecting exactly the right pixels first? I saw a suggestion that I can "lock" the layer pixels so that transparent pixels aren't overwritten. However, the options are not available in my Photoshop version.
How can I make this logo in Photoshop? Please teach me how its possible, or give me a hint what to search for to find tutorials for similar results. Thank you.
I am basically looking for a software (free for students) to have mechanical 3D features (extrude, fillet, etc) and very basic animation capabilities (like different positions for a membrane to open an close a valve). It should be capable to export to other formats like jpg or pdf. For example Autodesk 123Design is good but it does not export to any good format. I am not looking for something complicated like Maya and always have problems of putting lamps, lights, etc. Autodesk Inventor also looks very nice for designing but the rendering is not that straight forward. Any idea?
Which "effect" is a greater visual indicator for a line which looks to be travelling into the screen? A color gradient, or greater to narrower width (starting at full width on the bottom and narrowing as the top approaches)?
As a Freelance Production Artist, are clients entitled to native files? My now ex-client gave me images to edit for their website and marketing g and are now requesting all the PSD's so they can have for further editing.
If I try to draw a grid in Inkscape, there are two different options: Extensions -> Render -> Grid Extensions -> Render -> Kartesian Grid But both of them use pixel-metric(?). Is it possible to use other metrics (e.g. millimeter). As a workaround, I converted pixel->millimeter, but it didn't work. There is always an odd scale factor in the conversion :-(. Do you have any solution?
I want to color an object in Photoshop and I would like it to look like the tree in this image, with darker edges. I know I can do this manually with the brush tool, but is there an even quicker and easier way of achiving this effect? Thanks in advance! Nena
Basically, I'm a programmer and I'm pretty new to graphics design, and I don't have much knowledge of the keywords used by the graphic design community. That's why I'm facing problem in googling this out. I've an image like this:- As we can see that there is only one color in it. How can I convert this icon into a red color, white color, or a custom HEX or RGA colored icon? As it is only one color and have a transparent background so I believe that this is pretty easy. But I don't know how. Basically, I'm a GIMP user. If you can tell me this in GIMP then that would be great. However, if you can tell me this in Adobe Photoshop then I can search for similar technique in GMIP. Thanks,
I'm trying to redraw a diagram, and I'm having difficulty recreating the base spiral: I need to make the concentric spiral part. Can you help me?
Is there a way to hide the contents of a clipping mask in photoshop? I don't want the clipping mask to show through in areas where the clipped layer is transparent. Images might make it clear. My layer setup: Without clipping mask: With clipping mask: Desired result: I know I can manually adjust the clipping mask to cover only the areas that the pattern covers, but that is too much effort since the pattern consists of a lot of layers and is quite irregular. Is there another way to simply make the clipping mask never show its own contents?
I need to find a font just like Lato font that includes a Latin Extended version. I like Lato but it doesn’t include characters from Latin Extended and so I can’t type ş, ğ etc. Here's an example screenshot: I’m using this font for my web-site project.
I have an object that has been rotated and attached to another. I now want to detach this object and rotate it so that it is straight again. The object consists of multiple boxes so surely there is a way to rotate it so that one of the faces is straight along the z axis? Is this possible?
How do I draw a simple rectangle with no fill in Inkscape? To my knowledge, the "Stroke style" doesn't give me this option.
When I do any kind of point editing with Inkscape, I will have an object (A) and delete one of the points hoping to get C, but instead I get B. I understand why this happens, it's so curves can be made more optimal, but very often I don't want my handle types to change. It is tedious enough making sure points are no-handles corners without Inkscape continually messing them up. Is there a different way I can remove anchor points that will retain the handles of its connected anchors?
Is there a way in Inkscape to set the boundaries of the svg file the way they would be set if you export as a bitmap? I want that there's no whitespace above, beneath, right or left of the object that I select.
I am learning on a PSD file, the final picture like below, I really want to know how to make such a shadow effect. I hidden all the above layer, and the shadow layer is this: Does anyone know how to do it?? I have this question for days, I asked in other place, but nobody answer my question.
What considerations do I have to think about when I choose whether to set line spacing at 90%, 100%, 110% or 120% when I design a diagram? Is there research about the effects that different line spacing has on the user?
I'm not actually a font designer. I'm a web developer who's using Glyphicons, a library of icons encoded as glyphs within a font. I'm using them in Bootstrap 3 and they're really great because they scale to any size and can be set to any color, making them really flexible for web design. Anyway, the icons within Glyphicons are great but there are many icons which simply don't exist and I would like to create my own custom icons. I actually managed to do this by editing an open-source font with FontLab Studio 5 and adding my own custom glyph. Here is the glyph viewed within FontLab: And this is the result when used in a web page: For comparison, here are some Glyphicons at the same font size: As you can see, the Glyphicons look much better, even though they're both outline fonts. I'm guessing there is something you can do to improve rendering at specific font sizes, but I just don't know what I don't know. Any pointers in the general direction would be appreciated.
I have 15 years of notes (2 sided) on very random scraps of paper. I would like to photograph or scan them and create a collage type book where the b page is the back side similarly arranged (angles, etc.). Any suggestions about the best way (scan or photograph) or a good program that could make mirroring the b page simple?
I've got a font called Lato, and I need to add the characters İ, Ğ, ğ, Ş and ş. How can I do this? 1st photo is the original. 2nd photo is the same font that I upgraded:
I have a 700Kb JPEG file (white cardboard texture) that I'm using as a background on a website. A file this large takes too long to load for snappy page hits. I don't need the full resolution, a reduction in image quality is fine, but I do need to keep the JPEG the same size (to fill the entire screen). What would be a good free PC or web utility that would allow me to modify a JPEG as described? I'd rather not use Photoshop or other professional software.
I have a large number of elements (triangles) that together make up a bigger object. Each triangle has a slightly different fill color and no edge color. A part of the surface is shown below: The problem is that although zooming in to 6400% still doesn't show any disconnection or overlap (see below), the thin edge lines are still visible. Does anybody know what is causing these lines and, for me more importantly, how I can get a smooth transition between the different triangular elements? Since the images above are with transparency I tested without transparency as well. Without transparency the lines are still there, but now they are white.
I'm working on a project that needs to draw pictures of human lips. I just wonder if there is a program to draw a human face (or simply lips). Thank you so much.
Is it possible to open a .jpg in Fireworks so that the canvas size will automatically fit it? At the moment I have to get the dimensions of the image, create a canvas of this size and then drag the image into it. It's just one of those little annoying things, but it all adds up...!
How can I change color of this vector in Illustrator? Each triangle is different. I want it to be in other color tones like brown, grey etc.
I'm a complete novice to Photoshop CC and I feel like I'm missing something very obvious, but I can't find the answer. I want to re-size my 1024 x 748 image to 1024 x 768. When I look online, it simply refers me to the "Constrain Proportions" option box to accomplish this - for example, like in this pic: However, when I go to the Image Size option, all I get is this: I have no option to constrain proportions or not, and if I try to resize my height to 768, for instance, it tries to scale the width along with it, which I do not want and stretches the image. Am I missing something very obvious? Thanks.
The program for which I'm creating svg doesn't display text that I create in Inkscape where Inkscape saves the text as flowRoot. When does Inkscape choose to use svg:flowRoot? Is there a way to tell it to convert a field with svg:flowRoot into svg:text?
I am trying to identify what looks like a regular typeface for client. This is from their logo, which they only have as an image. I also included the full image, but I am not sure if the "J" is from the font or custom.
Is there a way to preserve multiple spaces in HTML export?
I have this source in Adobe Flash CS6 (AS3). var loader:Loader =new Loader(); imageViewer_mc.addChild(loader); loader.x=65; loader.y=50; loader.load(new URLRequest("image.jpg")); image.jpg size is 200px X 400px and viewing nice in pages. But when I replace it with 600px X 1200px Image, It doesn't have previous size. I know that something is wrong with my code; But I don't know where is it. My clear question: How can I load different images in a loader with same size? ( Can I fit images to their container, imageViewer_mc?)
Here is a video with the bug. Resizing text with the bounding box can't be restored by character styles. No matter what you do, you have to create a new point/paragraph text and start all over again and never, ever resize it with the bounding box, which is really annoying. Any idea how to reset the font-size if you used a bounding box to resize the text? Thanks & enjoy,
I know it depends on the device but I am having a hard time locating GUI element sizes in regards to browsers, keyboards, etc. etc. for Apple and Android devices. I have searched through Apple's developer documentation but nothing related to size and I am new to Android design so I am unfamiliar with any documentation that would mention anything. So my question is: Does a document or site exist that indicate what keyboards, browsers, and the like use in pixel dimension size for devices? Keyboard example for iPad landscape:
After using only free fonts I am now considering using paying fonts for a client of mine. But I realize that although free fonts can be tested at will on one's website, that's not possible with paying fonts. So how do people deal with this problem? There will be countless cases where a font looks good on the font's site, but then once installed on one's website it doesn't match it so well. Do you just request a refund or something? What is you want to try 2 or 3 paying fonts before choosing the one that best fits your website?
I'm working on some site banners that need updating and I'm having a few issues with dimensions. My internet screen is set to 'view actual size', so it's not zoomed in and my images/slices are always saved at 72ppi (not that it matters much for online?). When i screen grab one of the existing banners from the website, with a view to keep the size the same and simply refresh the image to send to the developers, I'll drag the screen grab into photoshop and draw a slice around it. The dimensions of the slice are 1553px x 330px. However, the developers have asked for the dimensions to be 786px x 164px, and have apparently had to resize all my previously supplied banners which were 1553 x 330. Any ideas on why the two dimensions would be so different? I can't understand how they can have such a gap in size. Any ideas/suggestions would be very much appreciated!!
I'm a little new to illustrator. I designed a little logo in illustrator that comprises of several layers. Now because I have some of this layers interact with each other different using the blend mode, the image looks alright when I'm working on it in illustrator. However saving it is a different story, my blending modes are lost and the image is altered. If it helps I'm using the .SVG format Much Appreciated.
I want to replace the whiteness in pixels with transparency in the same way as described in this question - i.e. for lighter pixels to be made proportionally as transparent. All solutions found via google are based on magic wand or other methods that do not work for my needs. I'm sure there used to be a way to do this in earlier version of Photoshop (a simple functions to replace a colour with transparency), but I can't seem to do it in CS6. Replace Colour has no alpha options..
I have traced object which contains lots of polygons. Something like this: What I want is to outline this object similar to stroke, with solid color. How to create a simple object which is actually outline of my object?
If I use a cap on a line, usually so I can make an arrow, it is always black despite the stroke color. Is this a bug or am I not understanding something?
Inkscape can do that, but I've been told Illustrator is not able to export nested layers (sublayers) with attribute display="none". Is this true? If so, how can I have all my hidden sublayers be exported as svg elements with display="none"?
I'm trying to create a droplet for batch image processing that will put a border of 2 px all around, add 30 px to the top, then within that top space place some text that will automatically scale to the size of the pic, and center it. I've got all except the text added to an action, but fighting with the text issue: it doesn't place the text in the center and it doesn't scale it properly when I run various sized images through the droplet. Is there a way I can do this?
I have the following shape and text which I'm trying to lay on the shape. I certainly tried to put text on ground plane (not illustrated in screenshot), but I'm not able to get exactly the perspective matching to my shape's plane. Is perspective a right tool for this if yes, how to lay down my text?
How can I get a paint colorblock effect on the edges similar to what is on the edges of the red portion of Saul Bass's One Two Three poster? I have two layers, one is a background that is white. The second layer (above the background layer) has a rectangle selection that is filled with color. I would like the edges of color filled square to resemble the red edges here: (source: wellmedicated.com)
I wish to draw a rectangle with no fill, but only a stroke. I would like to erase a certain portion of one side, going out from the middle. I have attached a picture of what I would like to obtain at the end: I know how to make the box in Inkscape, but I haven't figured out how to remove the part in the middle such that it looks symmetric. Does anyone know if it is possible to achieve this latter feature in Inkscape?
Is it possible to add some (controllable amount of) noise to a path with Inkscape? When creating a fictional map, I would like to add rivers with the bezier tool, drawing the general shape, and then add some noise to make it look more realistic. I have had a look at the different filters and effects, and no one seems appropriate (but I might have overlooked the right one).
Can someone please help me figure out how to add text into the shape of a LETTER using inkscape? I keep trying and nothing happens. I type out the letter using the text tool, click object to path. Type out my text using the text tool. Select both and then click Flow Into Frame... nothing. What am I doing wrong?
Here is my MS Paint job on a real bad attempt at what I'm trying to achieve: I have access to Photoshop and Illustrator CS6, and I want to be able to draw a thick line (that is not straight) and have a pattern within the line show arrowheads within the line to indicate the direction of the line.
Sorry for confusing title. After I rendered my text 3D it looks like there is another text layer above the render that is red, even though there isn't. How can I fix this?
I've been experimenting with a technique called cinemagraphs. This technique makes animated GIFs where only a small portion of the scene is animated. Here's a quick one that I just made: So far, Photoshop does a good job with compressing the static parts of the scene. By masking only the moving part, you can save several megabytes. What Photoshop is not optimizing well is the duplicated frames. To get a seamless loop, I duplicate all frames and reverse them. In the example above, the newscaster turns to the left and needs to turn back to her original position. This always doubles the size of the GIF. How do I tell Photoshop to optimize the duplicated frames just like it optimizes the static areas? In Timeline panel's menu, I've already used the "Optimize Animations" option but that didn't do anything...
While watching PSD to WordPress Minimal Portfolio Theme in Tuts+, i notified that the author toggle the first group of layers GRID on the fly in order to move some elements, i jest see this group of layers toggle on/off without clicking in the eye. Is there a shortcode for that or it's a special plugin? Watch the link above and see what i seen!
I have created a circle in Illustrator with a radius of 12px. Now I'm trying to rasterize this into a .png from Photoshop to have the exact same size, but anti-aliasing is messing things up and the height is actually 11px instead of 12px. I tried both, exporting the .png from AI and opening the .ai file from Photoshop but I get the same result. So how can I rasterize my vector to match the desired size?
I want to do something similiar like this picture in Gimp (or Photoshop if required). Any ideas on how to proceed? Anything useful will be appreciated.
I'm an engineer, therefore my knowledge of graphic design are very, very, very poor... so please bear with me. I want to know how much space I should leave between two paragraphs for my thesis. I've heard from some friends of mine (who are designers) that you shouldn't if you are using indentation (that seems to be length=1em, according to Tschichold's Rules). However, is it recommendable to use both indentation and paragraph space? (we call it \parskip in LaTeX). If not, which one should have preference? What should be the length?
I have some straight paths with only two nodes (start and end node). They are short and I want to prolong them in the same direction that the line is. The paths are oblique-angled and not horizontal or vertical oriented. If so, I know that I could have used the Ctrl key to prolong in horizontal or vertical direction. Question: Is it possible to prolong the paths in the paths direction?
I am a moderate user of Photoshop and have never really used Fireworks. I have been given a Fireworks document which I need to modify. The document has just one layer, the background layer. On it are some icons and some of them have a semi-transparent border which I am needing to recolor. If I use the eyedropper tool on a border pixel, I get the semi-transparent color value which changes based on what color I have the canvas set to. Is there any way I can see what the original border color is/was, and what the transparency level is set to?

i have 3d object i want to take it to photoshop to paint but keep it 3d. What can i do. I have done dragging it. But it dosent help. Exporting from illustrator still causes it to be either vector or jpg/png.
I've got a .psd file with multiple layers. Some layers "seem" empty. I say seem because I cannot see any element on them but I am not sure that there aren't some 1px elements. How can I be sure that some layers are 100% blank so that I can safely delete them?
As a designer creates work, more and more "samples" start to stack up. With digital projects maintaining a library of past projects is fairly easy. All it takes is a dedicated hard drive and a backup. However, with physical projects the collection of samples can get rather large. I have begun contemplating burning a few piles of samples. Do you keep physical samples? If so, how many samples of each project do you keep? How long do you keep them? Do you keep all project samples or merely the ones you feel are "best"? How do you store physical samples? Are you concerned about degradation over time? If so, how do you combat that? I had considered a good photo shoot then maintaining the photos rather than the pieces. Is it imperative to have the actual physical piece so it can be held and felt?
Trying to identify the font used in the Backbone.js logo:
We receive a number of e-mails everyday requesting further information on our prices and service. I used to answer with a "plain text" message and some PDF attachments with a graphical showcase of our products and prices. After that, I built a MailChimp HTML e-mail with all the information and several photos and other images embedded in the main message, sent myself the test-email and used that as a sort of template that I would re-send using Mac Mail and changing some key parts such as "Dear John", service date, etc. However, I realized that many of my recipients were not receiving the message in the way it was intended. In particular, Hotmail users were getting a completely messed up e-mail. So I went back to a simple text message with the attachments and out signature, but I'd really like to reply to inquiring customers with something more elaborate and graphical, in a newsletter style. Is there any tool or site where I can design an inquiry response e-mail template that I can customize with the customer's name and other data, and send directly from the site, and that will work across all e-mail platforms? (Think MailChimp/ConstantContact, but not for newsletters; instead for individual customized e-mails that share a graphical theme/template).
I want to make a stroke to be a little bit further than the object itself, so between object and stroke there will be a transparency. By default, the stroke is touching the object. How can I achieve a stroke that is distant from the object in Illustrator?
There is a colorize tool in GIMP but it only provides HSV. Most of time I want to colorize with RGB so I'm using RapidTables' RGB to HSV color conversion. Is there way to colorize with RGB only?
Is there a way to revert all the changes that I made into document since I opened it? Of course I could just close it without saving it and reopen it again, but may be there is a faster way?
I would like to design a paragraph (full of text) where the font size for EACH new sentence changes in font size and gradually get smaller and smaller with each new sentence. It would probably look best if each new sentence font size and the leading were proportional in percentage as well. I want to keep text from filling from previous sentences and no Hyphenation (if that makes any sense)? i.e. each new sentence has a new font size, no text auto fills/ hyphenates into new sentences, and the leading is proportional with each 'new' font size. Would this be done manually or through something like "Paragraph Styles" in ID or AI ? Any tips for a similar technique?
I want to know how the A in this logo can be created in Photoshop and how the effects are applied. I found the font and other things. I am not able to create the character A without the central bar in Photoshop. How can I create the character 'A', and apply a gradient overlay, just like the one in the picture?
I have a horizontal row of many different smart objects of the same size. I made the row vertical by selecting all the objects and using the free transform tool to rotate the whole row 90 degrees. Now I got the problem that all the objects are facing the wrong way at 90 degrees. I can of course select and rotate them individually, but that takes a lot of time. So to my question, is there a way to rotate multiple objects individually? Thanks in advance!
Recently we have moved from using Fireworks to using Photoshop for mocking op website designs. As I've been used to Fireworks for doing this, I'm running into some issues organising my mockups. Where in Fireworks there are pages and states to organize your design, I'm only aware of layer comps in Photoshop. However, it doesn't seem like a very smart idea to handle completely different pages in a design with layer comps. What is the most efficient way to handle multiple pages and, regarding repeating elements, can you use smart objects across files and change them once and have them update across your designs?
Recently I discovered the work of Andy Gilmore and I would really like to learn how he did this piece. I'm not looking to replicate it but would like to learn the technique. Right now I'm fiddling around with creating triangles, duplicating those and transforming them but this seems rather unwieldy. I am proficient in Photoshop but I recon this is more of an Illustrator project. Any tips are much appreciated!
I would like to convert an image from google maps into a black and white edition, without gray scale, something that will look like that How can this be achieved with Adobe Photoshop CS5?
I just purchased the DIN font, it includes all the following file formats (.otf, .eot, .woff and .ttf) Now these fonts don't look the same on cross platforms like MAC and PC, it looks great on PC but doesn't look the same on MAC (especially the light version of the font, it looks the same as regular). I did some research and noticed that the best way to resolve this issue is to use a SVG version of the font (Google does the same with it's Google fonts). Any of you know how I could convert my fonts to an SVG file format? or any other solution how to resolve this cross platform issue? Thanks
In Photoshop CS6 I have a lot of (smart) objects perfectly spaced out but in the wrong order. All the objects are the same size. Is there a way to swap the location of a object with another one? Would save me loads of time. Thanks in advance!
I changed the background colour of my pdf through: Document Setup -> changing color under "transparency" (grid color) -> checking "Simulate Colored Paper" This changes the background in Illustrator as it should. The problem is: if I save the file as a pdf, the background if my pdf is white again :-( Any idea how to solve this problem? Many thanks in advance!
i am working with 72PPI for both android and iphone ..but some has been reffered 326 has to be set for iphone can i know what difference will occur? i am getting same result in 72 itself
I have a mobile app interface with a list of dates and notes: Sep 5 - No longer contagious Sep 6 - Can return to school ... Sep 9 - Back to normal Right now I am using an ellipsis to indicate a gap in days, or time passing between notes. The problem I'm seeing is that this is commonly used to indicate that the user can tap for "more" info, and users are trying to do this. I see problems with other icons as well: Clock: indicates time itself, not a span of time Hourglass: indicates waiting What can I use to illustrate the passage of a few days time?
I am learning Photoshop at home, but I am finding it quite difficult. Can anyone recommend me any book(s) or resources to learn it (preferably for free)? I have a good internet connection but I'm not sure where to start.
Just so you know I am very new to Creative Suite. I am trying to make a whitepaper using InDesign and then export it into a PDF. The PDF looks blurry if I export it at anything, but 300ppi. The screenshots I am capturing are at 72 ppi, so I have been pasting them into Photoshop and increasing the resolution to 300 ppi. When I increase the screenshots resolution and then put it into InDesign it decreases the blurriness, but its still not very readable. Is there anyway that I can capture these screenshots, put them in InDesign, and have them show up clearly in the PDF? Sorry if this was confusing, please let me know if you need me to further explain.
Ancient cities and towns get recreated a lot in games but I am hoping to find some images, illustrations, composites to use in a video. I realize they will have to be recreations but I am not looking for current images of dilapidated structures. Take for instance, Assassin's Creed, a ton of ancient buildings and cities. Is there anywhere to buy anything like that? Thanks
I am designing an A1 poster (at 300 dpi) and am noticing blurriness on a pixel pattern when I export my PSD to PDF. My methodology for generating the PDF is as follows: Flatten the image Save as -> PDF Options: Do Not Downsample, compression: ZIP These screenshots are both taken at 100% size. This is the view when editing in Photoshop. And this is the output from the PDF The first concern is that the sizes are not identical, I don't know whether this is Photoshop or Adobe Reader. The second concern is that the pixel pattern is not sharp and is instead meshed together, am I doing something wrong here?
H just created a banner in PNG format and I'd like to render a GIF in the center. So the output would be a GIF file where the center moves and the rest of the PNG is made into static frames. I've only done basic things in photoshop and never worked with gif files. Thanks in advance.
Is there a tool -- preferably free -- that can "paint" texture maps in a 3D view? (Similar to Pixologic's Sculptris) I have several low-poly (<1000) models that I want to "touch up" the textures. I've written a program that converts them to .obj including normals and texture coordinates. So far everything shows correctly in Wings3D and Blender. I'm just looking for something fast.
my request is nothing very advanced (the way I think it should be done at least). I blog for a business, and part of "keeping the style throughout" is applying a specific frame. That frame comes from iLife's Keynote (it's a standard picture frame we apply to most pictures). The crappy thing about that frame is that on the sides and edges, it's not transparent. If it were, my issues would be long resolved. What I want to do: I want to be able to apply that frame (on photoshop or wherever) to any picture, without having to worry about the aspect ratio. I suppose I have to create my own template out of that frame. I don't want to distort the pixels, so I also guess I would have to make a somewhat high-res template, too. Is there any way to at least partly automate the process? create a template that I can use in the future? Ideally I would like to apply the frame without having to do any touch-ups.
Ok so the logo has a purplish-background-color (#a11a5c) and the the logo itself is white. Is it possible, that these two colors don't get along at all? The logo size shall be about 250px x 100px and even though it's using vectors it looks like the quality is garbage (kind of blurry and pixelated in some spots). When scaled up to far over 500% it's crisp and smooth, just like we would assume vectors to be. I've also noticed some strange behavior with normal text using these colors. So my guess would be that they just don't agree with each other. Have you guys had any experience with this problem and did you solve it? Note: I'm not in the position to just change the colors. So some kind of advice would be awesome!
Let's say I have a file that's 4'x12' and represents a space on an actual wall. I want to open certain files (of different sizes) and drag each file into the large file in order to arrange the images correctly on the computer before physically hanging the framed finals. When I drag a new image into the larger file, the new image's size and the size of its copy don't match. That is, Say I drag an 8x10 into the large file, well on the large file (trying to control size with guides and rulers) the new image is some other size, but not the right one. What am I doing wrong? How do I make sure that when I click and drag the new image that it will be properly represented?
I have two blocks (div elements) with one black on the top background-color: black and one white on the bottom. Is it possible to have a piece of text that straddles the two zones with inverted colors? For example: the top part of the text "FOO" will be white on black and the bottom part black over a white region.
I am using Illustrator CC and I need to create a large image document 85cm X 200cm, but the printing guy is asking me this document to be in 700dpi. How can I set, emulate or create this within Illustrator? Illustrator only allows me to create 72dpi, 150dpi, or 300dpi.
This picture is taken from the game Cut the Rope: I'm trying to recreate the wave. This is what I have so far, I used Distort > Wave:
I have some images and I want to strip the EXIF data for privacy reasons before I put them up on the website. Is it enough to simply resize them in windows paint? I'm using Windows XP X64.
I'm using PS6 and for some reason, whenever I use the clone stamp tool, it starts recreating the image that I'm covering up, above the original image's position. I select the stamp tool, press down alt, select a small area, release alt and start to fill in the area that I want covered. The image begins to get covered up with my sample, but then the image starts to appear above the location that I'm filling in--as if I had sampled the area I was covering up. Does that make sense? I've reset the tool several times to make sure it wasn't some setting that was off, but maybe something's still set wrong some where. Anyone know what's up? Any help would be much appreciated. I've tried "Aligned" both checked and unchecked, no luck
This is a tall order, but I thought it might be worth asking. I'm working on a project where I need to basically fake a large urban map: streets, parks, rivers, etc. Essentially I'd like to wind up with something that looks like Google Maps at one or two stages short of maximum zoom. I don't really want to spend an infinite number of hours drawing it, however. Ideally, this would be something that I could generate in SVG, but reasonable resolution bitmaps would be fine too. Gozzy's Map Generator and Dave's Mapper are kind of what I have in mind, but I need urban, not D&D. Suggestions?
I'm working with Photoshop for over 10 years already but can't find this simple thing: When I'm creating repeatable objects I always duplicate folders and work my way from up to the bottom. When checking my layers they are arranged differently. The bottom duplicate is on top of the layers and visa versa. Does anyone know how to change the duplicate layer option order? I want to make them down instead of going up the last layer.
I am trying to create a star, with a gradient color effect. When I try to use the gradient color tool I get the message Could not use the gradient tool because the content of the layer is not directly editable There is one "solution" but I don't think is too direct. I can rasterize the layer and using the laso tool to select the region I would like to color, use the gradient tool to make the color effect. Is there any other way around it?
I have recently opened some images and in the layers palette, instead of saying "background" it says "Index". I have been unable to figure out why it says "index" and cannot do anything to the image because every tool is greyed out. What's up? I must be doing something wrong.
I use CSS sprites to reduce server load and thus make the page load faster. This is very effective but I find managing these compound images difficult. I decided to use Photoshop slices to keep track of the various areas allotted to each image (some of them have white space around), because guides quickly became unmanageable. The problem is now that when I export for the web I can only export individual slices and not the whole image, which negates the idea. So I resort to making a copy of the image before exporting and exporting that flat image. Is there a way to export for the web an entire image that contains slices? And additionally is there a more practical way to do this? edit I have images of different sizes (on the same Photoshop canvas) and of varying uses, which means that sometimes I'll need to dedicate a whole line to a sprite or sometimes I'll have to keep track of white space that needs to be preserved around an icon. Guides don't allow me to keep a clear view of the area dedicated to a specific sprite. But an image will show that better than words: With guides With slices So working with slices makes it easier to visualize my sprites but then it is impossible to export the whole image. Is there any workaround in Photoshop?
