    Color adjustments reverts when trying to print

    OMG this worked!!! Absolutely brilliant ! I have been trying to solve this issue for years, even bought the newest PS but it still happens on all versions. I can't believe the solution is so simple! The program that i am using to scan images is the reason why the image is so funky, it scans...

    Color adjustments reverts when trying to print

    I "kinda" figured it out, I transformed the image mode to RGB ...then placed a new layer over the image, "filled" the layer with white, changed opacity to 90%,....the image looks like a blank canvas, but when you print it out...the image shows up as a very very pale gray =P:laugh:

    Color adjustments reverts when trying to print

    Thanks for all the help, I agree the image is too large but I can't reduce it as the jpegs are parts of a larger picture and the image needs to be true to size. I'll have to print the images and then piece them together sort of like a jigsaw puzzle. I can take the advice to save to pdf and...

    Color adjustments reverts when trying to print

    Yes RGB works for me but i have to make a ton of adjustment layers to finally lighten it enough to be print able. For some reason every time i lighten it up and then "flatten" it will restore 90% of the original "darker" color so i have to keep making new adjustments and pulling the arrows so...

    Color adjustments reverts when trying to print

    Hi there, ive tried a new adjustment layer and it didnt work even when i "flatten" or "merge" layers. Something that sort of works is when i go to Image > Mode > RGB color I dont know what RGB is or what it does but it makes some adjustments work but not all. When i used my scanner to scan...

    I am a seamstress and i am trying to create an outline about 1/4 inch from the original object, it is relatively simple but i am such a noob that i cannot figure it out. The image above is an example of what i want to do, I select the object with magic wand...then just expand the border of the...

    How do I create these shadows that mimic depth/indentation?

    How do I create these shadows that give depth and dimensions?? This is a blanket texture that was extracted and you can see all the soft dark areas that give depth. So sorry if my English is not clear, I am not good with this language.

    What am I doing wrong here? Bad composite attempt

    Thank you Thank you so much for the encouragement, i was really really upset lol. Actually I decided to trash the photo, there was just no saving it. I just restored the old background and tweaked it a tiny bit. I am such a photoshop noob lol.

    What am I doing wrong here? Bad composite attempt

    Ok yeah that's what I thought...i am so upset...there is just no way i can go back and remove the background as i accidentally merged the layers and saved it. Is it so ugly and terrible that I can post it without being a subject of ridicule? Or is it trash and probably just worth putting in my...

    Is it possible to isolate all colors except the black colors on this pattern?

    First off, I just want to thank you for taking a look at this. I'm not great with photoshop (I can only use the paint tool)... how can I turn the brown areas pure white and only leave the black words and lines? I tried to use the paint tool to "paint" the brown areas white but it takes hours...
