    Indexed Color Conundrum

    PS index mode is only 256 colors. I'm not sure what you mean by "I have a set of 400 indexed colors..." and "i import my custom 400 color pallet":) What format are you trying to use to hold your 400 colors and how did you "import" it in PS? I suggest you make an image with all of your...

    How to Warp or Wrap Text to a Whirlpool/Funnel

    Well, Adobe went it's own way with 3D:) It's "tough" and somewhat strange, no questions about it:) It lacks a great deal of explanations and precise measurements... It's oversimplified, it hides the important things from you and thus is sometimes not at all intuitive in the ways it behaves...

    How to Warp or Wrap Text to a Whirlpool/Funnel

    Start with circle shape, then 3D->Repousse. Open the Repousse dialog in my example to see the params. Then just open Extrusion texture and make any changes you want. Rotate the model any way you want, add lights, etc... Add some Twist in Repousse dialog if you want spiral effect Here's more...

    is it possible to edit

    How to make this more realistic?

    I think adding the shadows from the dog would help a lot here. Just make them shadows realistic: they have to be very complex given that they fall at some angle against the legs of your dad. Also sample the noise from the pavement or the sky(find the most noisy channel) and apply it to the...

    Something up with the gradient tool?

    That's because it is a shape layer. Why bother with gradient tool anyway? Use Layer Styles...

    Something up with the gradient tool?

    This is not right. You should select layer contents not layer mask.

    Something up with the gradient tool?

    Don't you by any chance draw your gradient on the layer mask itself instead of the layer contents?

    Does anyone know a way to randomly select these?

    Here is my go...:) 1. Open your image. 2. Apply Threshold so that all windows are black and the background is white. 3. Invert. 4. Press Ctrl-Alt-2 to make selection of the windows. 5. With selection active apply Clouds or Difference Clouds filter. 6. With selection still active apply...

    Colour swatch to gradient

    Long time ago PS used to save gradients as 256 colors. In those days you could easily convert between color pallete files, gradient files and Curves settings files. Now PS uses "true" gradients: lots of color stops each with it's own floating point position and floating point weight. You can...

    Custom Halftone Screen

    I once used this little trick to make Halftones more appealing. First choose Halftone Screen parameters that give you the look you like. Return to original image. Now use one of the Distort filters with the reversibility property - that is the ones which for every distortion with some...

    how to create a hellish background

    I'm not sure if this post is anyhow relevant for your particular case but here is one of the techniques I use sometimes with regard to Perspective transform. One of the peculiarity of Perspective/Distort transform is that it transforms the image uniformly in both directions. This is sometimes...

    Text in a complex shape - hole in the middle

    Here is the point I'm trying to make. This is the shape with cutout: You can clearly see the gaps in the text around the cutout region. Now just grab Direct Selection Tool for Paths. Select two anchor points on the right side of the cut like shown on the image above and move them to the...

    Text in a complex shape - hole in the middle

    Well, yeah! It's just that my solution included making a cutout in the path and then manually shifting the anchor points of one side of the cut to slightly overlap the other side. This way PS seems to work OK. Without the problems of fitting the shape, paragraph styles, hyphenation, etc....
