Non overlapping custom brush

$
0
0

Hello,

Some month ago I've created this image

Untitled-1.png

I'm trying to do the same thing with a clover leaf but I don't remember how I've done it.

I've created a custom brush, but when I use it what in the brush is not full black is + or - transparent so I get brush overlap buildup.

In the image above there is not any buildup instead.

 

What am I missing?

Hello [Photoshop is not working]

Merge nested group into one layer or one smart object

$
0
0

PS CC 2017.1.1 x64, Windows.

I have 60+ objects inside my ps document. Each object is a simple assembly: small jpg image (cube) + layer mask (pixels), something like this:

I can put my objects under: A) single group, B) nested group tree, like this:

The result is identical, a simple array of objects over a solid, black layer:

Now I would like to merge my objects (multiple layers) into one layer (including layer masks). Here is what I get after merging (Merge Group or Convert To Smart Object command).

 

Case A. single group:

I am selecting all objects, right-click, Convert to smart object (or Merge Group). This converts my object (cubes) into one single object, layer masks are applied and everything looks identical to the original state (multiple objects, multiple layers). It looks perfect:

 

 

Case B. nested group:

Now, let’s do the same with the nested group. Now, my objects are nested under line 0 copy, line 1 copy, line 2 copy, line 3 copy which are nested under Group 8, Group 7, Group 6, Group 5, B. nested group. I am selecting the top most group inside the nested tree, right-click, Convert to smart object (or Merge Group). And surprise! The new layer (smart objects) differs from the original. Photoshop puts some extra mini-gaps between my objects:

And it seems that the width of those extra gaps depends on how many levels (nested group tree) are merged. For example, if I select Group 7, right-click, Convert to smart object (or Merge Group), I get this – some gaps have been added but its width is smaller:

It seems that Photoshop adds some ‘extras’ at each level of the nested group tree and the difference (in reference to the original state) could be really huge. The result is the same for both: Convert to smart object and Merge Group commands. I’ve also noticed similar behaviour while working with adjustment layers. It does matter whether I apply my adjustment layer to the single or nested group. Each level of nested tree seems to add some tiny modifications and the final results could be different.

 

Did someone experience the same? is there any workaround to this? As for now the only solution I see is to merge my objects manually, step by step, starting from the very bottom of my nested tree. Or I can write a script. But maybe I am missing something and this can be easily fixed by setting some variables/preferences.

Thank you.

Creating spaces in image with text

Hello,

I am using photoshop cc 2015 on windows. I have hundreds of images I am trying to edit in PS. Each of these images are photos of text from a book. Now what I am trying to do is create equal vertical gap or space between each line of text in the images.

Right now I am doing all this manually: by selecting each line with the rectangular marquee selection tool and using transformation to move each line up to create the vertical space between each line. Each image has 18 lines of text in it. I have tried to use the 'action' and 'again' in tranformation features but they dont help.

Can anyone please guide me on how to select all lines at once and create equal spacing in them with less effort? I am tired of selecting and moving each of the lines here and there!

Same color, looks different in my 2 documents

Hello,

 

I have a file that was supplied to me. I am remaking it from scratch. The RGB colour that was supplied to me, when I use the same colour in a new document, it looks different. I'm sure it's a colour settings thing, but I'm not sure where to look.

 

Any advice?
Thx!

Photoshop batch process, cut image in half, save each half?

$

I have a folder full of files which I want to cut each file in half, and then save both halves into separate files. I've been trying to figure out batch processing in Photoshop to do that but can't quite figure it out. Would someone in this forum help me with the steps to do that, if that is possible?

 

If not possible in Photoshop, is there another tool out there that someone could recommend? Thanks!

Multi GPU System - CC Apps keep disabling GPU acceleration

$
0
0

Hi there,

this could be a general Adobe CC Question, but it's most prevalent in PS and extremely frustrating to work with:

 

I have a multi GPU System (4x GTX 1080) and a dual monitor setup (connected to card 1+2), Windows 10.

 

Photoshop keeps disabling GPU accelerated features like the drag zooming and panning, the color and brush size selection etc.

I tried a few solutions like app-specific nvidia system settings: Setting Photoshop to use only one card for CUDA rendering and using multi-GPU compability mode etc.

It works sometimes and then just disables the features mid-work. I allready read that there is some kind of disabling automatism going on with mutli-monitors multi-gpu combinations. How do I fix this? It's quite dissappointing to see CC struggle with setups that aren't that exotic...

Hope someone can help

Cheers!

Loading Actions and making them work.

I followed the instructions and loaded the action for SultanBanner, and then opened the stencil.  After that I tried to run the action, but it keeps telling me the various steps are unavailable.  Like "select" is unavailable.   Can you tell me what to do or is there someone who has a phone number or email address for Microwave?  I tried to find them on the net and couldn't.  There is another company that has the name, but it' for health supplies.  I'm using the latest version of Photoshop CC on an Apple MacBook.

Artboard Export as is shifting layer effects when saving in multiple sizes.

$

I have gradient overlays on text and the background is a gradient. If any of these things are larger than the artboard or I adjusted the size of the artboard mid project; my exports will all look different if I'm exporting in multiple sizes; like some of them will just have a solid background while others lost the gradient on the text. This is my first time trying out artboard and I find it handy for logo styling but this is a huge inconvenience.

 

What am I missing here?

 

 

Update: when I merge layers or convert to smart object and rasterize it does the same thing and changes the look completely.

Moving layers is a pain now - how do we go back to the old way?

$

I am not sure when it happened but in a recent 2017 update I noticed a change to how you can click and drag layers within Photoshop.

 

I love the way it used to be for years - whichever layer, layers or grouped folder you selected, not matter where on your screen you clicked and drag it would only move only those item(s).

 

Now with this new update it does not matter which layer or layers you select, where you click and drag on the screen its going to move that particular layer. Then for a grouped folder you have the added task where you need to hold shift to move multiple layers within it.

 

This is extremely frustrating when you have a lot of layers, especially fine art ones. One example -  trying to move text or a small button within a web design is a painful process now.

 

Is there a way where I can set the preferences back to how it was for moving layers -or- is there something new that has been added to the UI that allows me to move things as it once did without it being a total pain?

 

If my explanation wasn't clear enough I have also linked to a screenshare video where I give an example of this:

How to Modify grid/net/web in transformation in number of lines and color ?

$

Hi, I am using photoshop CS5. I am working with electron microscopy images that are in gray "color" only. I need to use the deformation tools and free transformation. In free transformation a selection separating the image in 9 squares with 2 horizontal and 2 vertical lines.

1- I would love to know how to increase the numbers of these h & v lines since I need to apply very subtle warping deformation to my images

2- Since my images are grey and the line of the selection too... I would also love to know how to change the color of these lines

Thank you so much
