Corel KnockOut is rather good I hear. Extensis has a filter too: Mask Pro. PS 5.5 and 6 have an extraction that sometimes works nice. I use selection by color a lot. The main problem seems to be the switching to and from RGB. That is possible without messing the color up too much. If you can select this oh so important color you mention in any way you can drag the colors back to their original cmyk settings via a lot of methods. I did some PS work for CocaCola, who always want the same red color, even if it is in photographs, a lot of filters I use require RGB mode but there were always ways to return to the wanted color. Are your cmyk conversion settings, eh, set? I JUST THOUGHT OF A WORKAROUND! Make a duplicate of the photo. Turn it to RGB. Run your filter, store the resulting opacity (option click on the layer) in a mask or an alpha channel, duplicate that to the original cmyk version. Copy the mask to the original layer. Presto! I hope this works (it wil not if the white removal doesnot result in real opacity changes). Good Luck
Thread: how can I achieve this distorted metal effect for my subway train? | Forum: Photoshop
If you do the render clouds thing and use it in different channels, but the bump channel first, of your shaders (if you can do stuff with the 3D model) it might get better. If you use different clouds the resulting randomness makes it more real world-like. I once made metal which looked like stainless steel: starting with gray, adding 10 pt noise, then doing a large motion blur, then unsharpen mask. By doing this several times, on different layers and then mess with the layer settings it will look like some kind of metal. Maybe. Other blotches and scratches you can do by hand. When you do them in an alpha channel and use that in render/lighting effects (if that is the english name of the filter) it will work out very well. Maybe. The result could be used as a texture in the 3D program of your choice. Or do the perspective transformation in PS. Ofcourse you can also use pictures of metal. Or trains.

It can be done less extreme of course... (I don't mean the boob job, but the layer opacity)

Thread: digital painting demo | Forum: Photoshop
On Mac (OS 9, QT 5) it doesn't work, unfortunately. The .mov extension that the Das Pop example on the 3ivx.com site has might make the difference. QT doesn't recognise the compressor. Good Luck, Ruud
Thread: hi eb, newbie in the forum:) | Forum: Photoshop
Very nice image! Do you use scanned textures of is it 100% Photoshop? 'bout the brush size: No. Not like the round and square brushes that come with PS. Can't change it. BUT. You can, in a way. If you make a large original (and use a pen, Wacom or Graphire or whatever) you can vary the size by change the size setting of the brush to 'pressure'. But you need to control your pressure very precisely, if size really matters. Or else you can create your brush in different sizes and alternate by hand (by selecting one when you need it), but you probably thought of that yourself...
Thread: 6 vs. elements | Forum: Photoshop

Yes, there is, but it's $250, Deep Paint from RightHemisphere Most plugins do stuff with the whole image at once. Like Paint Alchemy from Xaos Tools. Maybe you should buy a Wacom table with the money you save on buying Elements. When I did that I received Painter LE for free. And upgraded to a full version because it is very special. I bought Studio Artist as well (some examples are in a recent thread in the 2D forum), a standalone app for the Mac. Take a look at the link, and search with the word 'paint', there are some free or cheap plugins. And all the companies I mention have a .com domain. A lot of plugins can be reproduced within Photoshop, so you can also look for tutorials on the subject. Good luck!Thread: 6 vs. elements | Forum: Photoshop
Uhm, if you believe Adobe's answer to that question, and why not: Photoshop Elements supports all Photoshop plug-ins that were designed to work on RGB images. And for what it's worth: there are only very few plugins that ONLY work on cmyk. I can only think of the Extensis Intellihance plugin, but that is for prepress purposes. Which Elements is not. Marbe there is a plugin, somewhere, that needs the channels to do what it does, so that would also be impossible. I think that for instance the nice /Render/Light Effects wil be missing or handicapped, because that works with custom channels. O yes, and 'actions' ar not compatible. There are a lot of resources were people share those, and the output of that sometimes looks like or equals effects you can get with filters (like burning letters and stuff). Those fall under the 'automation' thing that is missing. Some things you might consider a filter could be an action.
Thread: 6 vs. elements | Forum: Photoshop
Hi MWA, I think you are the type of customer Adobe has in mind when trying to sell Photoshop Elements. The adobe faq about this subject reads: Adobe Photoshop Elements: For anyone (amateur photographers, hobbyists, digital camera & scanner owners) who outgrows the templates and guided activities in PhotoDeluxe but for whom the professional version of Photoshop is out of reach For users who are interested in exploring their creativity using the editing tools and techniques that the pros use, but in an easy-to-use environment In Photoshop vs missing in PS Elements: Advanced Web features (slicing, rollovers, etc.) Professional-level printing (CMYK separations) Channel editing Improved precision More flexible/powerful masking Automation Optimized for professional workflow So if you are not working for print and/or large formats and big manipulation, for print, PLEASE buy Elements because you would pay a lot more for functions you don't need. In all the magazines Elements is reviewed in, the writers are really enthousiast about this bargain. It seems to be a very nice offer by Adobe. That's why I checked out the Adobe site for the differences, not because my uncle works for Adobe or something. But I guess there is more information online. Hope this helps.
Thread: Poser Pro Pac | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
I tried earlier to figure this out. I only could get stuff to be compressed by opening and saving it. I am very interested in compressing my 1 gig runtime folder as well. According to what Python is said to be capable of, maybe someone knows of script, or has some spare time to write it?
Thread: I don't have Streamline so is there a way to......... | Forum: Photoshop
Yo Impu, Yep, it's okay, the 'Hoof' thing I mean. As well as finding the right tools for the job and your taste as well. See you around!
Thread: I don't have Streamline so is there a way to......... | Forum: Photoshop
So it also depends on what you want to do with the tracings. I just realized I streamlined a photo with extreme contrast . But couldn't use it in my design after all. This is an example of a vector tracing I myself couldn't get out of Flash when I tried.
Oh, I forgot, the issue was about not having Streamline. Then Flash is a nice alternative, yes.
Thread: I don't have Streamline so is there a way to......... | Forum: Photoshop
It depends a little on the drawing. Maybe you have to smooth it before you try to put it into vectors. Inside Photoshop you can turn a selection into a path. So you could try to experiment with the magic wand, to select your black lines, and then goto the paths tab, and then make a path. If your drawing has more than one color you should do this color by color, saving your paths by doubleclicking them. If you have PS6 you can do the vector stuff in layers instead of fussing around in the paths section. By the way, Flash also does some nice tracing (and I vaguely remember the Poser ProPack can render external bitmaps to Flash vectors, which can be converted to Ilustrator, which can be pasted into Photoshop. Mmmmm, sounds like it is cheaper to buy Streamline then). If your drawing is a simple line drawing, you could use it as a template and make it into a vector graphic by hand. If you really can't work it out, you may send me a hi-res jpg (low compression) by email and I will run it through Streamline for you and mail a vector eps back.
Thread: Sloppy/Jagges borders | Forum: Photoshop
I don't know the translations for all of the standard filters that come with Photoshop, but the basic idea is to make a mask in the layer you want to have sloppy/jagged borders. Or make an extra alpha channel to work on.
Make a rectangle selection, invert it and fill it with black (in the mask, which you can directly access via option-clicking on it), or make any selection you want, for that matter. Then you can experiment with the artistic filters (?), I used the Spatter(?) one, but others can be used. After that I did some Dust and Scratches, then again the Spatter. Actually every filter that distorts your image (and is not very usable on normal images) can be utilized to get irregular borders. Or text.
But as I said, you might want to look for some more in-depth tutorials on the net (try searching at www.google.com) that offer the right translations... Have fun!
Thread: Creatin Image Mosaic | Forum: Photoshop
Attached Link: http://www.graphics-tools.com
Hi Oguz! I stumbled across a shareware program in Computer Arts Magazine. The new feature of PicMaster (only for PC) is 'Mosaic Generator for building up a large image out of many small ones'. My Macintosh crashes on the 'applet reloading' on the site of Graphics Tools, so I don't know if it is hi-res, but I think so.
