Question About Template. http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/photoshop-newbies/45504-t-shirt-design-question-about-template.html Mon, 20 May 2013 19:15:09 GMT This isn't a post about asking for help for a design for a shirt but a question asking what people do for the actual shirt template. I've also searched for an answer here and can't seem to locate what I'm looking for.

For those that work on t shirts, where do you get the template? The actual shirt you're going to work with? Do you copy/paste from Google, create your own t shirt, or take a high res image of a blank t shirt? I'd really rather stay away from just copying a template from Google so I'm just wondering what others do, to get that blank shirt.

I've done it in the past for I can not remember for the life of me how to overlay something and make the colours cross in a way. The best way I can explain it is with a couple of picture (badly and quickly painted over pics too lol) but basically I want to overlay the Apple logo so the parts over the green become cream and over the cream becomes green, so it looks like the last pic (but obviously better!). Last time I did it I'm sure it was one of the blending modes but all the ones I've tried don't give the desired effect/colours.

Code:
Photoshop CS5 Mac 10.7.5
I have imported a *.mov that was created in After Effects CS5. And I want to make a gif file from them.


Code:
File | import | Video frames to layers
There are about 150 layers and I need to change the background on each one of them, changing grey to white. I have done this with the paint bucket tool


However, when I try and make an amimated gif using:
Code:
File | Save for web & devices
It open the the dialog box and it looks like the layers are all there, but when I press the play button nothing happens. they are all blank.


So I started all again, and just edited the background on half of them. The ones that haven't been edited with the background change are not affected. However, the ones that where edited do not show.


If I don't edit the layers before I try and create a git everything works fine and the gif displays correctly.


However, I need to change the background before I can create the gif.


Does anyone know why this is a problem?

Trying to create something like this image - the text color changes depending on the area being light or dark, which makes it easy to actually read the text on the page. Want to be able to do this in black and white. I have figured out how to make the image itself all text, or put the image behind the text, but it's then not legible enough if you were going to read, say, a short story that way. I can not figure out how this has been done...which is really not saying much as I'm definitely a newbie. The 'hard way' (which newbies unfortunately resort to sometimes) would be to change the color of the text manually on each line, but before spend a long time doing, I'm throwing myself on the mercy of the experts to see if there's an easier (and shorter!) way to do this.

For the first one, I was wondering if there a way to take a thick (anti-aliased) line, and turn it to a thin (non-anti-aliased line). Basically what I want are lines that are as thin as possible (1 pixel in width if I can do that).

I was also wondering if there is any other method of turning darker lines to black.. besides using threshold.

RGB instead of CMYK http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/photoshop-newbies/45426-terrible-mistake-rgb-instead-cmyk.html Tue, 14 May 2013 19:29:48 GMT Hello people!

I'm new to this forum and sure not an 'advanced' Photoshop user yet.

I am making some labels for some fireworks cakes. I have to do circa 25 cakes. They all have the same style, but with a different image on the front and some other minor differences. I had a great layout with dark-red backgrand and contrasting yellow details. When I was around the 8th label, I totally remembered I was being really dumb: I was working in RGB color profile instead of CMYK!!

I tried to make it CMYK via ISO coated 300% v2, I looked around on the internet and they said that's a good choice... I don't know what they print with in China, so I don't have much of a choice. Still my nice label gets an ugly brown look. I've tried lot's of things with layer styles, but it just won't work out fine. I know RGB is much brighter and saturated then CMYK, but there has to be a way to let my labels at least look a little bit like I head in mind.... I'm really desperate since the labels have to be printed at the begin of june. What if I keep them RGB and print it?

In the link below I have a ZIP file where you can see a RGB and CMYK file. It's kinda messy with layers and stuff, but I really hope someone can look at it and give me tips what to do! ]]> Photoshop Newbies johan1 http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/photoshop-newbies/45426-terrible-mistake-rgb-instead-cmyk.html How do I do this king of blur? http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/photoshop-newbies/45414-how-do-i-do-king-blur.html Tue, 14 May 2013 08:55:20 GMT Hey guys!

First time poster here!

I'm not sure if this an issue best solved by modifying actions or by changing the default compression type, but my problem in a nutshell is simply this:

I'm trying to batch convert an image sequence of .pfm files (portable float map) into .exr's (OpenEXR). I record the action for the batch processing and select a compression type different from the default for EXR output but when I run the batch automation it always uses the default compression type which is not useful for my workflow.

Is there anyway around this? Thanks for your time! ]]> Photoshop Newbies http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/photoshop-newbies/45383-change-default-compression-type-openexr-output.html
