If you'd like to automate the creation of multiple versions of an image with incremental changes to the brightness with the naming you want and control over the directory, you could use Adjustment Layers and Layer Comps in a template. Here's how: Open your image in Photoshop Add a Brightness and Contrast Adjustment layer by clicking on the black & white cookie icon (the middle one) at the bottom of the Layers panel and selecting Brightnes/Contrast... With the Adjustment layer selected, set the Brightness value Duplicate the Adjustment layer (Command + J, macOS or Control + J, Windows) Increment the Adjustment layer manually Repeat steps 4 & 5 until you have all the incremental adjustments that you want Open the Layer Comps panel (Window > Layer Comps) With the Layers panel also open, turn off the visibility (deselect the eyeballs) so that only the image and the 1st Adjustment layer are visible In the Layers Comp panel, click the + button at the bottom of the panel to add an Adjustment Layer Name the Adjustment Layer the name you want the final file to be and under Apply to Layers, make sure that Visibility is selected (the others can be selected, but this is the one you need for what you're doing) Toggle off the visibility for the Adjustment Layer and toggle on the visibility for the next Adjustment Layer Repeat Steps 10 and 11 until you have created Layer Comps for all of the Adjustment Layers Go to File > Export > Layer Comps to Files... Set the folder for your Destinatio, remove the File Name Prefix (and make sure it's deselected), and set the File Type to JPEG with the Quality set to 12  Click Run   After you set this file up, you can use it as a template for the next image. You would just need to replace the image.   You can also let Photoshop do the naming for you by naming the Layer Comps with incremental numbers and using a File Name Prefix. Photosho will add the File Name Prefix in addition to its own a incremental number (_0000, _0001, _0002...) plus the name of your Layer Comp. You'd get an extra incremental number, but using the File Name Prefix might be easier than renaming your Layer Comps for each image. ... View more

I kept getting white robots with the Firefly model, so I switched Firefly to use the GPT Image model to get the base image of the robot janitor.   I brought the image into Photoshop. I tried changing his face, but I never got anything that really matched his style. So I kept the GPT Image model face.   The scene was more daytime, so I darkened the windows. I wanted to spotlight the janitor and make it seem like he was alone in an empty building, so I used some layer masks, applied some color overlays, and added a Curves adjustment layer.   I also added a little vignette to darken up the corners. ...

Oh, thank you! 🙂   Good guess on the geological formation, although the one without the M is South Table Mountain in Golden, Colorado. Like Devil's Tower, it was formed by igneous rocks and has columnar jointing, which are those distintive cracks. BTW, Close Encounters was one of my favorite movies when I was younger. I definitely remember thinking about sculpting Devil's Tower whenever I had mashed potatoes.   The rocks with the M are Mount Zion, also in Golden, that has an M made out of rocks that are whitewashed. It's part of a tradition at Mines where Freshmen bring a rock from their hometown, trek up Mount Zion, and place it to form the M. At graduation, the seniors retrieve a rock--it's not necessarily the same one. The idea is that they bring something with them when they start and take something else away once they're done. They also have it lit, so you can see the M at night.   The miner is one of their mascots, Marvin the Miner. Their other mascot is Blaster the burro, but I didn't make a rock for him.   The eclipse was an attempt to make it feather out and glowy--it kind of got the idea across. I liked the Moon, Mars, and the Milky Way better. ... View more

The rocks I added to the pic are ones that I actually hand painted.

You can also apply and manipulate your own drop shadow from Layer Styles (Layer > Layer Style > Drop Shadow...). The Layer Style Drop Shadow will likely need adjusting. After you add it, you can separate it from the layer where it has been applied by going to Layer > Layer Style > Create Layer.   Once the drop shadow is on its own layer, you can use Free Transform to manipulate it however you like. This is the process I used to add a shadow for the Jeep. ... View more

Thanks for sending the link.   I tried it on Windows 11 and Chrome, and it let me download and install it, but on macOS in Chrome, I didn't get the installer.    Whether you install it this way, you should know that a PWA (Progressive Web App) is different from a desktop application. It's a web app that has a wrapper that makes it look like a native app, but still relies on its web connection. It is possible to have offline caching, but you would need to be online to download the web content before going offline.   I'll see if I can find out anything about the PWA installer for Mac. (BTW, I'm not an Adobe employee, but I can ask some). ... View more

If you have links where those are Adobe's instructions, would you please post them here?   There are a few places that could cause some confusion.   First, there is another product that is referred to as Ae that you would download and install. That product is After Effects.    Second, the confusion over downloading could be instructions for what you do after creating a document with Adobe Express in the browser--which would be to click the download button to download the end result (PNG, JPG, PDF, MP4).   Third, you do need to sign in--even if it's with a free account. It's how you can access your previous content and other content that you have in your Creative Cloud Libraries.

Try making a much longer rectangle.    When I made a rectangle like yours that was about the same height as the canvas, I got breaks between the lines using either Wrap Around or Repeat Edge Pixels in the Undefined Areas section of the Warp filter (although Wrap Around made smaller gaps).   But when I made a rectangle that was much taller than my canvas and applied the same warp to it, I didn't get any breaks. ...

There are a variety of ways that you can remove content from your image. Because your image has a white background, you could make selections over the parts you want to remove with any of the selection tools and fill the selection with white. Use the Eraser Tool to erase parts. Draw over parts you want to remove with the Remove Tool. ... View more

The images aren't opening up for me, but I'm wondering if they were using Duotone options. The approach would be the following: Open your image Save a copy (File > Save a Copy...) because this process will flattened your image Go to Image > Mode > Grayscale (if your image isn't flattened, this will flatten it. Also, if you prefer to control the conversion to grayscale, apply the Black and White adjustment layer first) Go to Image > Mode > Duotone In the Duotone Options, you can set the Type to Monotone, Duotone, Tritone, and Quadtone. These options correspond to the number of inks that you can use.  Set a color for each ink. ... View more

One way to make something similar to this style would be to use multiple layers with layer styles. Here's how: In a new document, make the background pink. On a new layer, type your text (you can use Photoshop's Match Font  if you'd like to try to find a similar font to the example) With the text layer selected, go to Layer > Layer Style > Stroke (you can also double-click on the layer but make sure you double-click in the empty space to the right of the layer name and then click Stroke) In the Layer Style dialog in the Stroke section, use the following settings then click OK: However wide you want the stroke, set the size Position: Outside Blend Mode: Normal Opacity: 100 Fill Type: color Color: select white Duplicate the text layer by dragging it to the bottom of the Layers panel on top of the + icon Double-click on the duplicated text layer to the right of the name and click on Stroke in the list (don't uncheck it) Change the color of the stroke to cyan, click OK to close the Color Picker, and click OK to close the Layer Style dialog. With this text layer still selected, change Fill (not Opacity) in the upper part of the Layers panel to 0%. With the Move tool (V) selected, move the text down and over (you can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard) Duplicate the duplicated text layer, double-click on it to open its Layer Styles, and select Stroke. Change the Blend Mode to Difference & click OK. Nudge this layer up and to the right. ... View more
