    Need Help Creating a Custom Brush

    Actually, yes. The brush I made is already larger than what I need. I also saved the design as a vector shape, so I can easily create another, much larger, custom brush by starting with a very large vector. But now I'm curious about how brushes are actually made. The brush tool allows a brush...

    Need Help Creating a Custom Brush

    I'm trying to create rope in Photoshop. I used the pen tool to create this basic shape, which I saved as both a custom vector shape and as a custom brush: If you string enough of these together, you get a reasonable simulation of rope, like below. If I set the brush spacing to about 60%, I...

    Creating a Hue Map

    John, Thanks for the reply. I saw your action file for creating a Hue map. In my 17 years of Photoshop use, I have actually never used or investigated actions, so I'll first need to brush up on them to make full use of your attachment. Regarding the zig-zag curves adjustment, I'm attaching a...

    Creating a Hue Map

    @thebestcpu John, First question: a few weeks ago you created this Hue Map of the image of boats in a harbor (first attachment; OP was R.Braverman). Can you please tell me how you did this? Second question (and anybody is free to answer): In an entirely unrelated tutorial (for identifying...

    Specific Edit shadow

    @JeffK , just wondering what this item is, where the red arrow is pointing. I don't see it in the original pic, so perhaps you used an AI filter that decided on its own to add it in???

    Removing Text from Background

    Not sure why you're having trouble with the magic wand. I just used it here and the selection seems very clean. I duplicated the background layer and inserted a red color-fill layer in between the two layers as a visual aid to assess the quality of the selection. I used the magic wand—set to a...

    Need help adding a background color to PNG image

    Because I followed my own directions and it didn't work! I started pulling my own hair out and then it occurred to me that I've seen this before—a screenshot of the checkerboard background that tricks you into thinking you have transparency. I tried the eraser tool on the logo layer and erased...

    Need help adding a background color to PNG image

    Lots going on here. First, your file is currently set to Indexed Color, which disables many Photoshop features. Open your PNG file and go to Image>Mode>RGB Color. This changes it to RGB mode. Next, your logo layer defaults to a locked Background layer, so you need to convert it to a normal...

    PS on Stock Graphics

    Here's one way: Duplicate your background layer. Above that, open a Black & White adjustment layer. In the B&W adjustment layer, set the Green slider all the way to the left (to turn it black) and set all the other sliders to the right (to get them to white, or close to it). Above that, open a...

    Best way to accurately select night sky

    I came up with another method. Open a Black & White adjustment layer above the original image. Move the Blue slider all the way to the right, which lightens the sky. Add a Levels adjustment to further lighten the sky and darken the trees. Add another, similar Levels adjustment, but with a layer...

    Best way to accurately select night sky

    Sometimes, using Channels can be helpful with difficult selections. Go into the Channels palette and examine each individual channel: red, green and blue. You're looking for the channel that has the most contrast between the sky and the rest of the image. The one that best isolates the sky is...

    Identify the Artist

    Thanks. I agree with you about the overall impression. I also like the colors and the overwhelming amount of tiny details and textures. As much as I'm philosophically against AI, I have to admit that this is very cool.

    Identify the Artist

    I found this image of a steampunk locomotive that I want to use in a composite. I'm trying to identify the artist who made it — or perhaps it is AI-generated — but all I can find are several Pinterest references, which I think are merely people who posted it to their Pinterest folder, not the...

    Matching colors from one side to the other from scan

    If you want to adjust the left half of the image to match the green color cast on the right, here's one way. Temporarily open a Black & White adjustment layer. Go to Window>Info to open the Info panel, which allows you to hover your mouse over any part of the image and get a precise read-out of...
