I made my first doctored image! Hooray! Though it isn't of ol' Fattie so there's no point posting it.

Oh, be a man and just keep playing with it until you get good at it.
Eeeeeeew. ;-)

Did you give someone a third eye? It seems like that's the first thing everyone does.

Yes but, say I have a logo which is RED, and I want to change the colour of this logo to the same purple colour that everything else is on our website, HOW THE FLIP DO I DO THIS?? I mean surely "change from x colour to y colour" is not difficult, right?!

RIGHT?!

Sarah (starry), Thursday, 22 April 2004 10:33 (nineteen years ago) link

You need to go to "image" then "adjustments" and mess around with things. Its not as easy as hitting a button that says "change to purple". Do you want to change the whole logo or certain parts of it? Is there writing on the logo?

You could email it to me at my opf address and I could have a look at it this afternoon, Starstar.

Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 22 April 2004 10:48 (nineteen years ago) link

if it's just shades of red you could convert to grayscale, convert to "Duotone..." but actually choose monotone then choose how the grayscale converts to the colour in question, then convert back to RGB. this might be the long way round

Jaunty Alan (Alan), Thursday, 22 April 2004 10:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Ooh cheers Mr. the Nipper, I will do so. It's a very small logo so hopefully it wouldn't prove too problematic! I will also give Alan and Chris's tips a go and see how that works.

It's just red writing on a white background! It's THAT simple! :)

I did manage to select the colour I want, and drop it onto the old colour using the paintbucket, but that doesn't change the shades of red on the sides of the letters and it looks k-scrappy.

Sarah (starry), Thursday, 22 April 2004 11:02 (nineteen years ago) link

well the method i describe will deffo work (even if there does turn out to be a quicker way)

Jaunty Alan (Alan), Thursday, 22 April 2004 11:06 (nineteen years ago) link

Alang you're a bloody genius! I just did "remove colour" and then AS IF BY MAGIC it's worked a treat. Marv!!

Sarah (starry), Thursday, 22 April 2004 11:13 (nineteen years ago) link

right click on the layer panel and check the layer properties and the blending options.

Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Thursday, 22 April 2004 11:14 (nineteen years ago) link

How do people do those mockups of record sleeves, magazines etc but still use the same typeface? Is that a photoshop trick or do they use some OCR program?

Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Thursday, 22 April 2004 11:37 (nineteen years ago) link

just a matter of knowing your fonts.

Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Thursday, 22 April 2004 11:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Funnily enough Billy, I asked exactly the same question the other day on here and stockholm cindy pointed me in the direction of What The Font?.

N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 22 April 2004 16:54 (nineteen years ago) link

There's also "replace color" which is not as simple as it sounds, but generally works.

Can someone with skillz help me out with what is probably a simple problem?

A friend was fucking around on Photoshop on my computer the other day, and now whenever I cut something and paste it into another picture, the pasted image appears semi-transparent, even though the fill and opacity is all the way on 100%. I've been trying to fix this for over an hour, and it's driving me nuts.

If it helps at all, I'll give a few more details. When I cut from an image, it leaves a little feathered hole where the selection was, instead of a clean line. This happens even though the feathering is turned down to 0 pixels.

Z S, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 02:08 (sixteen years ago) link

you've not changed the 'mode' to something other than Normal by mistake have you, in the top tool bar ?

or know where i can dl it for free

roxymuzak, Thursday, 8 May 2008 02:33 (fifteen years ago) link

or what it even is

roxymuzak, Thursday, 8 May 2008 02:33 (fifteen years ago) link

Postscript is a programming language, albeit one that is usually both written and read by other software. It is not something you buy.

What is it you're trying to do?

Jacob, Thursday, 8 May 2008 02:51 (fifteen years ago) link

Do you want to read a postscript file? If so, get GSView or something here: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/

mh, Thursday, 8 May 2008 02:59 (fifteen years ago) link

No.. but what do you need to do? I do have most Adobe software access at work..

daria-g, Thursday, 8 May 2008 04:12 (fifteen years ago) link

This happens even though the feathering is turned down to 0 pixels.

A few minutes after posting this, I think I realized that feathering was in fact at 20 pixels or something like that.

Z S, Thursday, 8 May 2008 04:35 (fifteen years ago) link

After many years of not having a computer I finally got a laptop and reacquainted myself with Adobe Photoshop. It was like the return of an old lover from my teen years, but with a few hundred more vaginas, and I can't remember how any of 'em work.

^^^irrelevant post of no help to Roxy or anyone, i have no help to offer, sorry

RabiesAngentleman, Thursday, 8 May 2008 14:39 (fifteen years ago) link

Roxy -- are you thinking of Distiller, maybe? That's part of Acrobat Pro. And yeah -- what you need to do is a key question. :)

GOD yall are nosy

roxymuzak, Tuesday, 13 May 2008 19:33 (fifteen years ago) link

if i'm thinking correctly then postscript is kind of like a beefed up printer protocol - ie, it tells your printer how/what to print.

Photoshop CS4: Classic or dud?

ASCII NED (libcrypt), Saturday, 29 November 2008 21:49 (fifteen years ago) link

The new display technology throws me off a bit. Images at different magnifications can look very different.

Getting desperate for a Christmas present for my Dad, who's a (very) serious amateur photographer and uses Photoshop Elements. I can just about afford the Photoshop CS4 if me and my brother both chip in and if I get the student version (I have a part-time student card so I guess that would work).

Is there any other giftable software a photoenthusiast would like, or is Photoshop basically it? He uses a PC.

He would never consider using cracks, hence worth us considering this present.

ljubljana, Sunday, 14 December 2008 14:52 (fifteen years ago) link

I'd recommend Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (currently on v2.1) - gets rid of a lot of stuff a photographer wouldn't use, simplifies the workflow and provide a great tagging/cataloguing system. I couldn't cope without it now. A lot cheaper than PS-CS4 but quite a bit more expensive than PSE7.

Does his PC have plenty of RAM? Adobe recommend 1GB for Lightroom but I think 2GB is needed.

Michael Jones, Sunday, 14 December 2008 15:03 (fifteen years ago) link

I've never used Lightroom and don't know the extent of it's processing tools, but it sounds like a great idea. Alternately, maybe you could find someone selling CS3. Very few people are upgrading to CS4 at this point.

dan selzer, Sunday, 14 December 2008 15:36 (fifteen years ago) link

lightroom is a good idea if he's going to use it for his photography. not sure about the cost difference tho.

The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Sunday, 14 December 2008 18:05 (fifteen years ago) link

If he's a Mac user, then Aperture is a very good, photographer-centric image editing app. Lightroom can be considered Adobe's response to Aperture.

I'm finding it weird that there are a number of people on here & the ilphotography threads say they can't afford Photoshop and Lightroom, but have been on other threads talking about acquiring films/tv and music via certain internet wonders of sharing.

I've just been reading that recent editions of photoshop need to have a certain resolution of screen before they will allow you to save properly.
1024x600 which it doesn't look like I can access on my computer.
I'm just wondering if it has always been like that or if it might be possible to get hold of an older version and use it successfully.
Without the ability to save things the application's usefulness is sorely limited.

Is this a problem that other image editing software suffer from. Or am I better trying something like Gimp?

Stevolende, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:57 (eleven years ago) link

AT the moment I just get no dialogue box coming up when i press save as & the only possible way of saving is to turn off the image at the x at which point it asks if you want to save the image that's being thrown away but then you can't come back and save differing versions of the same project.
Kind of sux really.

Stevolende, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:59 (eleven years ago) link

ive used ps since the pre-creative suite days up to cs5 don't know what you're referring to about required resolution. no dialogue box for 'save as' sounds like your photoshop install is corrupted

I mean, I'm thrilled that they've finally caught up to the rest of the world (and the rest of their apps) and made CMD+Z the all-around go-backward function, but damn. It's going to take me another five years to quit hitting OPTION+CMD+Z to go backward more than a step.
