Thank you so much Dave, this is really helpful I have been working at print office for 5 years and first time i'm facing this kind of problem, never worked with channels before. Original file came to me like this Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet Still having problem with this file, i fixed the bleed problem with illustrator somehow, now i'm having problem with color.

I do not know what you said Not quite sure about your problem: Do you believe that a 2-dimensional image is a 3-dimensional representation of its subject including its inner workings? Or do you actually have a 3d-model? (Even in this case it is not a given that the »feet« inside the »shoes« would have been modelled.) ... View more

Sounds like Adobe Capture's Pattern generator. There was a thread about it a few months ago, Capture CC's 'Patterns' Feature a part of Photoshop CC? . In addition to the software mentioned in that thread, there is also Richard Kain's Wallpaper add-on, https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/2304#.WGMDF1wnIUk You can also use Photoshop's built-in Scripted fills, but I find the interface too fiddly. ...

Then there's the Stone-age Filter > Distort > Shear, if you can get past the super fiddly interface. It is probably best to make a selection across the width of the image, and just the height of the area you want to affect.      Unfortunately. Adobe seem to have removed the Default button in the Cloud version, so you need to manually drag the control points off the grid to get back to a straight line [EDIT} Okay. it is there after all - if you press Control, the Cancel button changes to Default. ...

My "Christmas card" on the Happy Christmas thread is a 3D render - just for a bit of practice Dave One of the great things about this forum is that gives you a reason to practice things that might not otherwise come into your day to day use of Photoshop.  Even if those things happen to be questionable memes and cartoons that get you into trouble .  With 3D I'm of an age where it use it or lose it, and if I don't keep practicing, I'll be back to square one.  But being serious, thanks for kicking me into making a start with 3D.  There is never enough time though.  I was actually really pleased not to be in the top posters list this time round, because it means I am spending more time creating artwork, and less time on this forum.  Unfortunately, following this forum is almost as addictive as using Photoshop.  Luckily there is a great deal of overlap. ...

Hey, everyone! Thanks for the replies! I ran some tests and I think I'm going to see if I can script some automation to compensate for the remainder leftover on selections to save time manually expanding it. It's good to know this behavior is normal, but on my end, it started when I said it did, so something changed. I'm not new to Photoshop. I've been using it for around decade and a half and I immediately notice when things aren't doing what they've always done. Especially when it's following an upgrade. If this is how it's always worked (and I believe you guys), then some tweaking I'd done in the past to optimize the software for my particular workflow was probably already affecting or obscuring it and the upgrade I'm talking about basically kicked it all back to the proper behavior lol ...

I really like Libraries and use them as a handy place to store things like logos and anything vector that I might want to use again.  You'll have realised that I am not flash with Illustrator, and almost have to relearn it every time I use it, but there is no denying it has some very handy tools and features. Regards other uses, then I can see web designers and similar finding it handy for creating style sheets, and I like the View on Website option with a library made from a project with a lot of assets.  That would invariably contain sponsor logos that I know I will need for future projects, and it makes it easy to find those assets next time you need them.   My housekeeping is not as good as it might be, because I often loose links after tidying up my files.  There is a cruel irony in that ...

A variation on this, which might be useful if you had very tight kerning, would be to make a Work Path from the text. For each letter you want a separate gradient on, add a Gradient layer with the work path active; the work path will be used as a vector mask for the gradient. Alt+Click on the vector mask thumbnail in the Paths panel, to select all the control points, and Shift+Click on the desired letter with the Path Selection tool (the solid black arrow), to de-select the path for that letter. Press Delete, and the gradient will disappear from the rest of the letters, leaving it applied to the desired letter. ... View more

I take Illustrator files into Photoshop all the time.  I do this because I need PNGs for sites like Redbubble and Society6. First I create a document in Photoshop matching the size I need.  I make sure it has a dpi of 300.  Then I copy the Illustrator image and Paste it in the Photoshop document.  I then am asked if I want it to be a Smart Object.  I say yes normally as I can alway change it. You can also import the image through your libraries.... just depends on how you want to do it. If you want to see what it looks like on a background that is not clear, then create separate layer for a background that is not clear (what ever color you want). Theoretically.... you can create another layeer and merge the vector image down onto that layer (making it a normal photoshop layer).  Then you can select all and then go into Image>Adjustments..... then play with the Brightness/Contrast or Color Balance.   Then you can make it darker or lighter.  This is a step that I do not need to do as I never have issues... but an idea for you to toy with.  Granted if you do this it will no longer be a vector. I hope this makes sense.  ... View more

Basically, I just use the wand to select an area I want to make a fill layer for, so I can change the colors of the pattern. I adjust the tolerance depending on the design. They are saved as .tiff and .jpg.  The wand is easier to use than the quick selection tool because of the nature of the patterns I have. I use the different patterns as tiff files to upload to our print database. Thanks. ... View more

Fascinating stuff, guys. I was intrigued and had to try it out. After a couple of test runs that didn't bring any additional detail (and often even made things worse) I got the hang of it. In general I like the results, but they are not invariably better than a single high definition scan. Look, for example, at this detail from my current main project, a restauration. The original is only about 12 mm high and 9 mm wide: Nähen-Obstkram Detail - 2400 SPI Scan: https://picload.org/image/raldpcwd/naehen-obstkramdetail-2400spis.jpg Nähen-Obstkram Detail - 10 x 2400 SPI Scans combined to hyperresolution image: https://picload.org/image/raldpcwg/naehen-obstkramdetail-10x2400s.jpg There is an increase in detail in certain areas for sure. Especially the diagonal black strokes in the lady's hat are suffering from less aliasing in the hyperresolution image. In other areas the effect doesn't seem to go beyond a glorified Blur filter: The cheeks, the paper structure itself and so on. Maybe you could even argue that in areas of more spacious color application the hyperresolved image (at least in this sample) is encountering a certain loss of detail. Which brings me to another question: Are there any ways to quantify or measure the level of detail in an image? Of course I don't just mean pixel resolution. Sometimes two versions of an image (say, two different scans, or images taken by different cameras) can be so close in quality that your eyes can not really make out which one is the more detailed anymore, at least not without comparing many, many reference points. Have you guys ever seen/heard of/used a software or tool that can basically compare two images and say with a high degree of reliability "yeah, this one's more detailed"? ... View more

One thing I've done in situations like this is to make a duplicate layer, and then use the Smudge tool to extend the image a little past the edge. You pretty much work perpendicular to the edge,except where there's some linear feature, in which you extend the feature out along its length. ... View more
