I have a question. This may be dumb but how do you actually work with texture? I have around 5-8 textures and I don't really know how to use them. ==;; any help?

[minwoo012]

^when i work with textures.. all i do is set it on overlay/soft light/screen/ or pin light, and then i change the opacity/contrast/brightness etc.. ^__^;;

i had about 5 at first.. and then i got addicted to them.. now i have abt 66? but i only really use 4-6 of them...soooo~ just goes to show.. no matter how many textures you have, if they suck you wont use them xD so just try playing with some other textures =)

I NEED HELP T^T
i can't believe im asking this, cause i jsut answered this question like 5 pages back..

but is there ANYY way to save my GIF's so that they are smaller without changng the size of the gif itself???
heres what i've tried..

[i use imageready]

1)saving it with a different optimize setting [it when down 100kb after that =D!]
2)saving, zipping, extracting, zipping, extracting etc..

but thats all i can doo!! its at 300 something..but i want to get it low enough so that i can use it on soompi..

can anyone help a poor soul in need of help??

thnx in advance<3

I haven't really come across a way for lowering the kb for a gif other than reducing the number of frames used or playing around with the timing. i personally hate using different optimize settings cos it (in my opinion) ruins the overall quality of the gif.

Well, if anyone does come across a way, please do share

[wishesdocometrue99]

np^^;;

HEYYYYYYYYYY, Hello.

I have a few questions.... How do you guys save your graphics/pictures in .jpeg formats?

I've tried saving many pictures/graphics in .jpeg format but the result doesn't turn out clear. o.O;

I.E: Here's an avatar



And so I saved it as .png since jpeg wasnt clear. =/
But somehow it turns out a bit blurry?


I dont know. Help anyone ? -____________-;

^ when you save, do you save it so that the quality is set at 12?

i have it with adobe phtoshop cs2, but i have no idea how it work

i'm just wondering what you people use for the blending modes for gradients. gradients bother me so much! yet they make everything look good.

I tend to use overlay or soft light. Screen looks good at times, but everything becomes so bright and white o__O

oh. thanks jasonyc. microsoft word calls that option justify so i figured it might be the same for photoshop. but then what would you call the option for aligning all the text so that it would appear without any jadged edges to the right hand side? and is there an option for that in photoshop?

I don't know whether you will see this since its been like 2 weeks since your post.

As far as I know there is no one button to make text justified in PS.

What you can do is:

Click on the type tool. Or press T.

Anyway rather than clicking on the canvas with the Type tool and start typing,
click on the canvas with the Type tool and draw a bounding box for your text. The bounding box will stop your text from overflowing on the right side.

Thats it. I'll post screencaps soon.

how would you take out words or logos from pictures

[Justalilodreamer]

^ u'll have to paint over it with a brush or just erase it

The type of blending mode used for any layer depends on the results you're trying to achieve.
There seems to be a misunderstanding among Soompi users who are perhaps taught to do something one particular way, and don't venture to try other things.

And gradients don't make everything look good.

how would i do it so i dont ruin the picture?...

You need to post the image you're talking about so we can give you some methods.

Hi, thanks for that tutorial, but I was wondering if it was still possible to save patterns with Photoshop 5.5? Because apparently, there is no arrow... thing... let me show you.

That's the problem... nothing pops up after I click 'Define Pattern,' although it DOES go into the history box o_o
Melissa.

I'm sorry but I'm rather impatient and I'd really like to be able to do diagonal scanlines .__.


Melissa.

[minwoo012]

^yeah...i dont' know how to solve your problem.. cause i've never had 5.5 xD

but here~

it's 600x600 and black diagonal scanlines...if you want to change the color:
new layer>fill>linear dodge

ah! that's so awesome! it worked wonderfully! and after that i pushed ctrl+t, then clicked on paragraph and could finally use that justify all button! it's been bugging me for a while. thanks a lot kilaalaa!

Can someone help me please? ;__;

Sometimes when I try to type..The text becomes REALLY small even when I put it at 72



Ahh..
