Hi, I have a photo where the main subject is the asphalt and I am wanting to take out as much of the shadows and glare as I can. Previously, I have tried to use clone stamp and patch to use the areas I like to replace the areas that need work. This worked on a small scale. There is not a continuous stretch of usable area to sample from and this is making it take a long time. I have highlighted an area that I would like the rest of the asphalt layer to emulate (no smudges, highlights, shadows, cracks, wet areas, etc). I am open to any ideas that accomplish the goal: to balance the asphalt layer of this photo and reduce/ eliminate shadows and highlights.

I found a png image to download of the font I need from a few sites, but when I use it in Illustrator, I can't choose to 'create outline' because Illustrator treats it as an image instead of text.

I am looking to make a png file of our asphalt company's slogan and make it look metallic with the metal studs and matte finish. This is the example I am trying to emulate....does this font (Planet Kosmos) exist anymore? If not, does anyone know of a similar font that can be used as a substitute? Thanks!!

Yeah, I agree my selections are rough. I simply used the pen tool to make a selection of the background and 'inverse select' for the asphalt. Then, I made each of these selections into their own layer. That's it lol...no feathering...it is a very harsh border. I am working on your suggestions right It may take me some time, but I am grateful for your informative and descriptive feedback!

That is exactly what I did during the initial use of the 'blend if' slider

Yes, you are correct. I used the 'blend if' slider to make the logo have an opaque look. I changed it and here is the result: That light pole is bleeding thru...how do you suggest I proceed from here? Is there any way to make the underlying layer not show up just in the area corresponding to the logo?

The logo has a transparent background. I used the layer styles to blend the logo with the underlying layer and I liked that look more than decreasing the opacity of just the logo. At this point, I was hoping to make the underlying layer 0% opacity or clipped just in the shape of the logo to keep that light pole from bleeding thru. You mentioned that you don't like the 'blend if' function...here are the 2 business logos we have. I used 'blend if' to create the 2nd one from a steel texture stock photo. Did the 'blend if' slider work in this instance or would you have rather used a different route to achieve the steel look in the logo. Just curious...I only have a few tools in my repertoire and if I can add something better, I most definitely will!

I don't know how to make the changes to the logo, yet I love the feedback and I will try to implement your suggestions for future purposes. Here is the logo file if anyone would like to beat me to the punch. I'm working on it, but it will most likely take me longer than most people here!

This is what happened when I made those changes. The light pole is still showing thru the logo. I'm not very familiar with clipping masks, but I feel this is when one could be instrumental lol. Any suggestions?

Hi, I am working on an image to the social media platforms we use for my family's asphalt business. The goal is to highlight how poor the initial state of the asphalt is on our latest job. I am working with 2 main parts of the original image: the asphalt layer (and some of the concrete is okay, too) and the background (everything that is not asphalt), which I labeled as "Blurred horizon". I chose to leave the asphalt layer in color to focus attention on the grass and cracks embedded all throughout the parking lot. Additionally, I chose to blur the horizon layer slightly and give it a white overlay. Lastly, I am placing our company's logo over the horizon layer. I used the layer styles to blend the logo to the underlying layer. However, the underlying layer is showing up through the logo rather noticeably in some areas. The best outcome would be to remove/ hide any of the underlying layer where the logo is currently occupying. How can I best achieve this from where I am now? Is there a more efficient path I could have used to reach my end result? Thanks in advance for reading this and formulating a solution to help me...Thanks!!

Hi, I am working with 2 images: an asphalt background and a company logo. I am wanting to end up with a finished product of just the logo, but with the appearance of the asphalt background image showing up thru the logo to a degree. I initially used the asphalt background image and placed the logo on top as a layer. Then, I opened the 'layer style' and moved the 'underlying layer' sliders and ended up with a logo that shows the asphalt texture exactly as I want. Now, I am needing to export and save just the logo with that asphalt texture look. Is there a way to accomplish my desired product from where I am now? Thanks!!
