How do I make backgrounds like this using photoshop cs2?

I have photoshop cs2,and I really need to know how people make these kinds of backgrounds.


How they have a background then text over the background.


Because usually when you put text over a image it leaves a white background.


Help please.10 points best answer.


http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fus鈥?/a>How do I make backgrounds like this using photoshop cs2?
Text set in photoshop usually does not knockout the background. If the text is a photographic or vector element brought into photoshop as a layer, then you can set the blending option for the layer to multiply, and it will blend with the background.





How to set the blend option in Photoshop:


In the layers palette, select the type layer.


There is a pull down menu at the top left of the palette.


Set the layer blending mode to multiply.





The type should now appear to be over the background image.How do I make backgrounds like this using photoshop cs2?
if you mean having the text on the webpage over a website's existing background (not in photoshop) ....then they use a PNG file for the text.





make your text on a transparent layer in photoshop. if you have any other layers, then hide them (click the little eye next to the layer). You should now see a checkerboard background behind your text.





go to File %26gt; Save for Web... and choose PNG as the filetype.


(make sure transparency is checked)


PNG files save transparency information with the image, like a GIF file does... But where a GIF is limited to 256 colors, a PNG can have millions of colors, so you can have very nice graduated fades, etc.





this will create an image that is opaque where you have text, but transparent everywhere else, which will allow the web page's background to show through.





If you find that the transparent part is showing up white in your browser, it's because Internet Explorer 6 and previous versions don't display PNG files correctly. Do a google search for ';IE6 png bug fix'; (or something similar), and you'll find a small bit of code you can insert into the webpage that will fix the problem for anyone using IE6 that visits your page.
That is very, very simple to make. You will want to make a new RGB document that will be the right size to look good online. Create a new layer, fill it with your desired color. Then create rectangles with either you rectangular marquee tool or shapes tool. Fill those with a secondary color. For your text, you'll want to download a grunge font from a website like ';dafont.com';. As you make more and more names or phrases with text, simply rotate them to create the random look.

How do I make my eyes brighter in Photoshop?

Please - thanks in advance.How do I make my eyes brighter in Photoshop?
Simple...Select your eyes using the freehand tool and then choose Edit menu to change brightness, contrast, etc., or you can also take it to a separate layer by pressing Ctrl+J and then choose Effects from the top!!How do I make my eyes brighter in Photoshop?
use the dodge tool on ps (its the one with the big circle on a stick that looks like a lollipop). with that..just dab it on your eye. if not..select your eye (the mannual select) and use a lighting filter or something.

    Should my photoshop document be cmyk or rgb?

    My artwork is being designed from photoshop at 300 dpi. I will eventually place it in an illustrator document that is CMYK. Should I design my artwork in photoshop in CMYK? I usually design in RGB and convert it to CMYK TIFF before bringing into illustrator.Should my photoshop document be cmyk or rgb?
    If your work is EVER intended to go out to a commercial print service bureau, then convert it to CMYK before you bring it into illustrator.





    If this isn't done, the graphic will not print. Most printers will assign a technician to ';preflight'; the Illustrator file, to make sure the conversion is done, and to set the traps, chokes, bleeds and other steps needed to make sure the digtal file will run properly. The printer has to pay the tech to do this, so, will charge you accordingly. The more you prepare the file before sending it, the less the print job will cost.





    This is one of the main reason I went almost 100% digital some years back. The more of these steps I can do, myself, the less I have to pay someone else to do them. PLUS, I still get to charge my clients for the time I spend doing this.





    ';Hans W'; has a very good point, however. If these files are only intended for viewing on a monitor, such as for eventuall uploading to the web, then it makes absolutely NO difference whether you work in RGB or CMYK mode. ALL monitors display in RGB.Should my photoshop document be cmyk or rgb?
    There is no outward difference between RGB or CMYK in Photoshop. The only differences are behind the scenes and handled automatically by the program. Working in RGB and then saving in CMYK would be no different than working in CMYK the entire time.





    You might also consider working in LAB mode. The colors in the LAB workspace are richer and offer a wider dynamic range.
    Convert your artwork to cmyk in Photoshop before bringing it into Illustrator.

    Why do grayscale images turn out lighter when exporting a PDF from Indesign than how I see them in Photoshop?

    I converted RGB images to grayscale in Photoshop, placed them in my InDesign doc, exported it as a PD, and the end result is much lighter grayscale images than what I had worked on originally in Photoshop.Why do grayscale images turn out lighter when exporting a PDF from Indesign than how I see them in Photoshop?
    Well it depends on where the 'much lighter' is showing up; your screen or your printing? If it is just your screen I wouldn't be too concerned, as InDesign probably converted the color profile when you created the PDF, especially if your PDF contains other CMYK art.





    It also depends on what type of pdf you created, whether it's color profile is CMYK, RGB or Grayscale and if you changed the resolution of your image in the PDF'ing process.





    Really, the only place you need to be concerned about this is in your proofs. If you print the art from Photoshop directly, and then using the same printer, print it from your PDF, is there a difference? There shouldn't be.





    But if it is inconsistent, I would check what PDF format you're using and make sure it has a color profile in the PDF export dialog. Next I would try assigning a color profile to the image in Photoshop (Go to Edit %26gt; Assign Profile) first.

    Is there a difference in quality when saving in JPEG versus Photoshop or PNG formats?

    If I'm saving a photo after editing it in Photoshop, will there be a difference in the quality and resolution of the print if I save it as a JPEG opposed to photoshop or png formats?Is there a difference in quality when saving in JPEG versus Photoshop or PNG formats?
    Yes. jpg's or jpegs are a ';lossy';, that is information is thrown away in order to make the file size smaller. Each time you re-save an image (after editing it) as a jpg, more information is lost.





    ';Saving an image to JPEG format, always introduces some loss in quality, though the loss at a quality setting of 100 is barely detectable by the average naked eye. In addition, using a quality setting of 100 compared to a quality setting of 90-95 or so will result in a considerably higher file size relative to the degree of image loss. If your software doesn't provide a JPEG preview, try saving several copies of an image at 90, 95, and 100 quality and compare file size with image quality. Chances are, there will be no distinguishable difference between the 90 and 100 image, but the difference in size could be significant. Keep in mind, though, that subtle color shifting is one effect of JPEG compression--even at high quality settings--so JPEG should be avoided in situations where precise color matching is important.';





    However, a 10% compression can cut the file size in half, and the change in image quality may not be perceptible in your print. So it comes down to a trade off between image quality and file storage space.











    ';JPEG is best suited for large photographic images where file size is the most important consideration, such as images that will be posted on the Web or transmitted via email and FTP. JPEG is not suitable for most small images under a few hundred pixels in dimension, and it is not suitable for screen shots, images with text, images with sharp lines and large blocks of color, and images that will be edited repeatedly.';





    In the case of digital photos, I often have three versions. The original image from the camera (either jpg or RAW), a ';working copy'; usually saved as a photoshop psd or png, and the final print ready jpg. I save my originals and working copies in case I ever change my mind and want to undo any changes I may have made to the image.





    The links below will lead you to more info about jpg's and other image formats.Is there a difference in quality when saving in JPEG versus Photoshop or PNG formats?
    The advantages of saving an image as a psd would be that you can keep all the information from the image. It also saves any seperate layers and adjustments you made. The quality of a psd is higher then a jpeg. Jpegs are mostly used for internet use because they become more compact and get rid of seemingly unnecessary visual information. When you create a jpeg, your image is flattened at it will be impossible to go back and tweak the adjustments you previously made. Each time you save an image thats a jpeg you lose more and more information. If you are printing an image, you should probably print it as a cmyk tif. Tifs store a lot of information and they are very reliable files. I don't know about pngs. I never have a reason to save as png. Hope this helps.

    How do i cut the background out of a picture using photoshop?

    i know its the lasso tool though, but dnt really know how to use it.How do i cut the background out of a picture using photoshop?
    The lasso tool is just one of many ways to remove a background. You can use an eraser, use the magic wand or use the lasso tool.





    Seeing as how you mentioned the lasso, here's what you do.


    Select the lasso tool.


    Click and hold in the left mouse button while you move around your image.


    When you let go, your selection will be visible.


    To add to what you already have selected, hold in the shift key.


    To remove parts of what you have selected hold in the Ctrl key.





    This is all in the help files and very easy to find. I would also suggest when you open the help files that you look up ';Selections';. In Photoshop there is always more than one way to do something.How do i cut the background out of a picture using photoshop?
    you can cut the background using ';Polygonal Lasso Tool'; slowly surrounding what you exactly need to cut. we cant show you the complete tutorial on how to cut the background here. try using this tool ';Polygonal Lasso Tool';
    no don't use the lasso too, too hard





    but too hard to explain on here. sorry. you can but all i know is that i can't explain through tryping, i'd have to show you...there's a few different ways
    You use the lasso tool to select the area you want to ';modify';





    http://iit.bloomu.edu/vthc/Photoshop/BLE鈥?/a>





    so basically use the lasso tool to select the areas you want to crop out, then hit delete.





    my suggestion is to use the pollygonal lasso tool to make your selection. I believe you can choose that but clicking and holding the lasso tool button until several option appear and it should be one of them.
    Create a path rather than use the lasso, much more accurate and can be bent to take in corners etc. feather the edge by 1 pixel, then create a mask.
    I need to do that too, also clearing writing and writing something else :( It's pretty hard isnt it lol. Hope you find out how

    I want to print a DVD cover that i made in photoshop but it is bad quality when printed?

    Here ya goI want to print a DVD cover that i made in photoshop but it is bad quality when printed?
    It could be a number of things. Is the image on the screen a bad quality? If not then it's most likely the printer. You can change the options of your printer when going to file%26gt;print. If the paper is glossy you can tell the printer and it will adjust, therefore adding better quality. You should also be able to change the quality. Ours is usually set to ';standard'; but you can set it to ';high if you choose.





    I'm only speculating but I hope it helps :)

    How can manipulated images affect society and how the use of Photoshop can harm others?

    It could start a war! No really. You know how george w. bush and his henchmen have been dying to get into another oil war? This time with Iraq (because that's where the oil is). Well how do you that? The people aren't interested in another useless war that doesn't ';really'; affect them back home - unless they have kids over there of course.





    So in order to get the people behind your stupid idea, why not make it look like the ';bad guys'; are trying to kill everyone. Make up a story about weapons. Nope, tried that one already. I know! Make up a story about weapons, but THIS time have the photos to prove it!

    How do you change the background of a photo with adobe photoshop?

    The best way would be to use your pen tool and outline the whole background you want to take out- zoom in to about 200% for outlining. In your paths pallette click on the path you just created and make a selection with a .5 feather. go back to your layers pallette and click on your layer. click on the mask button at the bottom of the layers pallette- its the rectangle with the circle in the middle. this will make the area you selected become masked out and it will be transparent. then choose the image you do want for the background- select, copy, and paste the image into your existing photo and put the new image layer under the first one. sounds complicated but its really not, and it doesn't take long. the longest part is the pathing which at first is difficult, but once you get the hang of it, its a piece of cake. If you need any more help with this please let me know- i do this kind of stuff for a living.





    ps- using the eraser tool usually does not work well- your edges will look funky and your background will probably look fake. when you use the paths and masks- the part of the image you masked is only hidden so u can bring it back if you want using the brush tool. with the eraser it is gone forever so that is another reason i never use it.How do you change the background of a photo with adobe photoshop?
    Yeah I would go with what This_girl saidHow do you change the background of a photo with adobe photoshop?

    Photoshop will ';stitch'; photos together, both vertically and horizontally. But to view a 360 degree panoramic, you would need a seperate ';viewer';.

    To create the series of photos, it's best to use a level tripod. Then take your shots, usually from left to right, and overlap each shot by around 30 to 50 percent.

    How can i make everything black and white except of my shirt in a pic on photoshop? ?
    Create a monochrome image first. Duplicate a layer (CTRL+J) then while on duplicate layer go to Image %26gt; Adjustments %26gt; Desaturate (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+U).





    Add a layer mask to the monochrome layer, which you'll use to manually restore color to parts of the image. Go to Layer %26gt; Layer Mask %26gt; Reveal All.





    Make sure the layer mask is selected in the Layers pallete.





    Use a medium sized brush to hide the parts of the monochrome layer to reveal the colors underneath (that is, your shirt).
    i think it is possible, but i'm not entirely sure. however, i would try using picnik which is much more easier to use if you just want to edit pictures for fun. you can use it for free on facebook by adding the application.

Now, without knowing what the pics look like and how you want to merge them, I'm just going to tell you a bit about each tool found on the left side.





    Clone Tool - copy one part of an image and use it to ';paint'; on another part.

    There are a lot of on-line picture editing services, some can do more than others. One of them is Adobe Photoshop Express which you can find through the Adobe.com website. It's not nearly as powerful as Photoshop itself, but some people think it's pretty cool.





    I am sure others will recommend other sites for you to try.

    How do you change background colors of pictures in photoshop CS2?

    It depends on how complex the photo or picture is that you are working on.





    trying to describe the process here would take a l ong time and a lot of space.





    Your best bet is to look up tutorials on photoshop, or go to Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com to get an ';In easy steps'; book on photoshop, they are only $10 US.

    And why don't you just manipulate your own work. You will own the copyright and be able to show before and after samples without paying the fee to use some one else's copyrighted photography.

    That would be the Mac version of Photoshop. It is basically the same although there is a small bit of variation in the GUI which just takes a bit of familarisation to get used to. They both do the same thing though.

    There are really good basic tutorials found on the Hewlett Packard website to do with photoshop. Its free to do, just sign up and download. They helped me a lot.


    http://h30187.www3.hp.com/index.jsp


    but basically you


    Duplicate original photo, inmage, duplicate


    Create new layer, close original


    erase the background, select the Magic Eraser tool


    Using the Magic Eraser tool, click background areas to delete the pixels. The checkerboard pattern indicates a transparent background. Notice in the Layers palette that the Background layer automatically converts to a new active layer.


    Then whatever you want to do with background.


    Thats one way, hope it makes sense





    Magic eraser is in eraser tool, right click on little arrow

    I wanna photoshop some pictures of me with some other ppl


    so is it a software or a downloadDo you buy Photoshop at a bestbuy or an electronic store or a download thats free?
    You posted this question on Yahoo! Answers, so the fact that you can read, write, type, use a computer, and access the internet I am going to assume you live in modern society surrounded by cars, buildings, and other people. The point is, you should know that nothing is free. And Photoshop is not cheap.Do you buy Photoshop at a bestbuy or an electronic store or a download thats free?
    There are several versions of Photoshop, ranging in price from $650.00 to over $1000.00. It's expensive because it's designed to be used by graphics professionals. There's a version called Photoshop Elements which is less than $100.00 and is designed for the average home user. You can also try downloading some free, legal image editing programs like Gimp, Paint.net, Irfanview, Picasa or Photofiltre and see if they work for you.
    You can buy it here and download it:

    Can anyone give me a link to a good photoshop trial version?

    EXCEPT Adobe photoshop CS3.. I've been having problems with that program lately.


    Anyways, any trial versions of photoshop would be nice :]]Can anyone give me a link to a good photoshop trial version?
    I recommand you to use Google Picasa to manage and edit your pictures.





    Picasa is software that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the pictures on your PC. Every time you open Picasa, it automatically locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them into visual albums organized by date with folder names you will recognize. You can drag and drop to arrange your albums and make labels to create new groups.





    Picasa makes sure your pictures are always organized. Picasa also makes advanced editing simple by putting one-click fixes and powerful effects at your fingertips. And Picasa makes it a snap to share your pictures 篓C you can email, print photos at home, make gift CDs, instantly share via Hello鈩? and even post pictures on your own blog.





    free download in here, just have a try:

    have you tried a comparable, free, open-source program called GimpShop?





    It's free and very similar interface to Photoshop, that's why it was created.





    I kind of like it better than Photoshop, once I got used to it.

    Using Adobe Photoshop 7 to convert to vector graphics?

    I just got a copy of AP7, and I was hoping I'd be able to use it to convert some of my crappy bmp's to smoother, vectorized graphics. Can anyone tell me roughly how to find a vectorizing tool?Using Adobe Photoshop 7 to convert to vector graphics?
    Technically what you need for vectorizing is not Photoshop but rather Illustrator. Illustrator is a vector drawing program and there are various ways to convert those images into vectors. Photoshop is a raster/pixel based program, essentially that's what bmps are, just poorer quality. There is not going to be any direct way of just ';converting'; the bmps, because they are going to be very low resolution.





    I am using Photoshop CS2 and CS3, so I don't know how capable the Pen Tool may be in Photoshop 7. But in CS2 and CS3 you can use the Pen tool, and the Shape tool to create vectors in Photoshop. However, if you are going to either print them OR post them on the web, they will have to be rasterized, because you will have to flatten layers and that process will automatically rasterized (convert to pixels) the entire image.





    Using the Pen tool requires that you ';trace'; over your bmp image. So you would set that up on one layer, and then in a second layer do the tracing.





    I know this explanation may not be terribly helpful, but you do need to understand that while you can do some vector work in Photoshop (at least the later versions) it is not really a vector program.Using Adobe Photoshop 7 to convert to vector graphics?

  • How do I make an image as the font color of a text in adobe photoshop?

    how do I do this? I tried doing this by reading my bro's book about adobe photoshop but I cannot follow the directions as they contain unfamiliar terms. Can anyone help me do this using simpler english and sentences? Thank you!How do I make an image as the font color of a text in adobe photoshop?
    You mean that you want your letters to show parts of a picture, instead of having one color? There are many ways of doing it. For example:





    1) Have your text in one layer and the picture you want in another.


    2) ctrl-click on the text layer in your layer list - you should now have a selection in the shape of your text


    3) switch to the picture layer, copy and paste -


    you should now have a new layer containing text colored just like picture you had in the other layer. Now you can turn off the original text and picture layers.How do I make an image as the font color of a text in adobe photoshop?

    In Adobe Photoshop, how do you create columns with the text?


    I need it for my project desperately. Help would be great!


    10 points!In Adobe Photoshop, how do you create columns with the text?
    Click and hold on the Text Tool in the Tool Palette. Hiding underneath the regular Horizontal Type tool is the Vertical Type too.





    If you just want to turn a regular text block on its side, select the text layer, and transform it (ctrl+T). Hold down the shift key, grab a corner handle and rotate it into position (or Edit pulldown menu --%26gt; Transform --%26gt; Rotate --%26gt; 90 degrees whichever way you want).





    Oh, or are you just asking about making a tall skinny block of type where the text wraps?? You can create Paragraph text. Select the text layer (it's okay to have already typed it in). Go to Layer pulldown menu --%26gt; Type --%26gt; Convert to Paragraph Text. You will then see handles on your type (you'll need to double click the layer to see them) which you can move around and your text will flow inside it.





    I sure hope one of those is what you were looking for!

    What file do you save your pictures from photoshop when you're done?

    I'm making a layout site but I don't know what file ';layout people'; save their pictures in to have a great picture without looking all worn out. HELP!What file do you save your pictures from photoshop when you're done?
    If the layout people intend it for printed media, then you shold probably save in color-separated CMYK. You'll get four files, each representing the contribution of different inks to the printing process. Also, the bigger the better. I suggest you ask them what format they prefer.





    If you intend this for the web, things get simpler. Usually saving to JPEG with a quality above 65-70% (you can tinker with the quality settings in PhotoShop in the save dialog somewhere) should produce a pretty decent picture with a small file footprint.





    GIF and PNG work great, too, but with GIF your picture gets reduced to 256 colors or less, which affects the quality, and with PNG your quality is kept but the files can get kind of big.What file do you save your pictures from photoshop when you're done?
    This depends on the content of the image. If it's something that you might want to alter again later, always save it as a native photoshop file. For web publishing, always use the ';Save as for Web'; functionality found in the Files menu. That will allow you to see the quality of the image you are saving, and give you lots of options for adjusting the quality, and allow you to see what the final file size will be for each type before actually saving. Generally a web file will be saved as JPG for photographs, and as a png or gif if it's more of an icon, button, or other created work.
    I save my Photoshop images as .png. They are larger than something like .gif, but they seem clearer and cleaner to me.

    You need to use an sRGB profile for your image - if necessary Image %26gt; Mode %26gt; Convert to profile and **Turn your printer colour management OFF!





    Ideally you will be working on a calibrated and profiled monitor, and you know how to use profiles, which will enable you to work around this problem as the professionals do.





    Ideally you need a monitor calibrator - these are not expensive and they come with software, such as the Monaco Optix or the Spyder... they are a lot cheaper than getting your prints and image preparation wrong, in which case, if you are using destructive editing techniques, you will be damaging your image quality as well as wasting time and effort.
