![]() Another useful tips for those people that do not have
this image format ... "WEBP" As we now have another type of image format circulating on the internet which may look like a "Jpeg" , but is actually a "Webp", you may discover that your Photoshop does NOT HAVE this image format, and some times you are unable to open it up in Photoshop to work on it. This is what Adobe-Photoshop as posted about it recently... WebP files can now be opened, created, edited, and saved in Photoshop without the need for a plug-in or preference setting. Go Check your installed Photoshop version and see if you have this first. Go to "FILE" > and select "Open as..." as the Pop-Up-Window comes on to select an image, scroll down the list of ALL the image formats available in your Photoshop program. There are ALOT of them! If you do not have this, I highly reccomend to install this "WebP" format NOW. It will make your life much easy, because I am discovering alot of images on the internet in this format. People working with an older version of Photoshop may not have this. Go here to read about it, and download it for Free and how to install it easy... http://community.adobe.com/t5/photo...le.language=pt Where does it get installed ? example... C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Required\Plug-Ins\File Formats Code:
go to this Medifire download to get your 32bits and 64bits version... This is what I use. http://mediafire.com/file/yg8aj1l5sfodjvr/WEBP_image_format_Plugin_for_Photoshop.7z/file DonĀ“t ask me how I find these things... I just find them. LOL I have 2 installs (32 bits and 64 bits) and I have it working just fine with this WebP image format. If later on you encounter another image format which you may not have, it is just a matter of finding a download link to get that new plug-in and install it to any of your Photoshop versions. It seems every year there is someone inventing a new image format ! ![]() Since I some times work with game skins, I have found many different image formats which are not very common, or known to many people, but I have them working in my Photoshop very easy and also saving them in this format too. ![]()

![]() or...
if you want to, you can just gather up all your webp images in a folder, and run this code: Code:
#!/bin/bash for f in ./*.webp; do if [ -f "$f" ]; then basefilename="${f%.*}" newfilename="${basefilename}.jpg" if [ ! -f "$newfilename" ] ; then printf "Converting %s to %s " "$f" "$newfilename" convert "$f" "$newfilename" if [ -f "$newfilename" ]; then rm $f printf "...... Done!! \n" fi else printf "\n !!!File $s already exists !!!\n" $newfilename continue fi fi done exit 0

Sure, you can post here your "PSDs" you invented or some links to others that might be helpful for other artists to use. We are here to chat and help each other in making some cool and FUN photoshop (or Gimp) art ! That is what friends are for, to help each other ![]() Thank you Cylnz, that was very helpful, I did not know this tip. As for your "Joker", Masterbates, there are over a million or more ways to create an artsy image. You can isolate a certain color from an image using the following tips... Go to IMAGE > Adjustments > Levels and then play around with the sliders to create what you want. Then there is... IMAGE > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation which you can play with indivisual colors and tones, and... There is also IMAGE > Adjustments > Selective Color for more tweaking of colors and tones. You can also play with some of these coloring adjustments and isolations of color on an image by selecting CHANNELS on your right-hand-side palette window and tweak those RGB colors to either match a sorrounding color or to isolate a certain color you want. For example, here is a "quicky" I have done using your image and color selecting... then added 2 diferent "PSDs" to add other color-effects into the image to make it more interesting and artsy. Code:
1 PSDs used = http://deviantart.com/defreve/art/PSD-Noble-507637870 2 PSDs used = http://deviantart.com/krypteriahg/art/Psd-26-Deep-Fantasy-352354173 then to your preference, you can achieve diferent color tones and effects. Then I decided to add a red painted-look letter font "WHY SO SERIOUS ?" and made it look wet and dripping. Just for fun This was a very quick and easy way you can change an image and get a diferent look for your wallpaper. This might give you some ideas.

![]() ez way to change saturation
open your original duplicate it desaturate the new layer now here's the fun part just grab the opacity slider and reduce it till you can see the original like you want. save it. bam, your pic looks the way you want. this method, you cannot screw up. if you cant get it, just delete or turn off the new layer.

![]() BTW, there's a monstrous problem with uploading actual work pieces. Some of mine are 7-8 gigabytes in size. just one file. I use 16GB of cache in a ramdisk just for gimp.

One thing I didn't mention about most YouTube PS tutorial channels; When removing backgrounds, they cherry-pick the easiest and most perfect examples possible - which is infuriating, because most of us will not extract a subject from a photo with a pure white, perfect background. So any photo that actually has a background with any color (or multiple colors) and/or any detail and/or light sources or lack thereof, is challenging at the very least. Photo resolution is a big factor too. A bigger resolution basically means more info for PS to work with - which is a good thing. The point is...Hair is always a fucker to get it to look right, when extracting a subject from a background. You won't hear these YouTubers say that, because they want views and they want people to think they are great experts at PS...so they get more views... The latest version of PS has made removing backgrounds easier, but it's still not perfect. It can be a pain in the ass and a slow process to get it looking decent and maybe (probably) not perfect. It's never a couple mouse clicks like some of these YouTubers claim. If they say it's easy, they are liars and dickheads. Rant over... ![]() In the real world of PS users, most porn photos will have a complex background that needs to be removed and the resolution might be low. So if you have a photo that you really like and want to make a wallpaper out of it, you have two choices. Be in for a lot of work and potential disappointment. Or say "No, it's not worth my time" and move on. The more you use PS, the more you'll be able to tell if PS will have a hard time differentiating the background from skin, hair, etc - before you even bring it into PS. This will dictate your level of involvement. From that you make a judgement call to do it or leave it alone. By the way, don't confuse photo size with photo resolution, they are different, but go hand in hand, kinda like length and girth ![]() If you're painting black over your image, you're probably not painting on the layer mask. Think of a layer mask like a stencil - anything white on the layer mask is visible, anything black on the layer mask is hidden (not visible). It's also important to work with either pure black or pure white on a layer mask. Using other colors on layer masks will give you goofy unintended results. "D" is the shortcut for default color which is black and white. "X" is the shortcut that swaps the default colors. Very handy when editing layer masks. ![]() @MAX. I genuinely wasn't fishing for a compliment. ![]() ![]()

Topaz Labs, the maker of various photo editing tools and plugins, has announced Topaz Photo AI, a new program that brings all three of its existing editing tools into a single program. Topaz Labs combines Denoise AI, Sharpen AI and Gigapixel AI into one program, Topaz Photo AI Previously, Topaz Labs offered three individual programs: Denoise AI, Sharpen AI and Gigapixel AI. Now, the AI-powered technologies behind each of these programs is integrated into Topaz Photo AI, allowing users to remove noise, sharpen images and upscale images without needing to jump between three different applications. Topaz Photo AI also has a new feature called Autopilot, which will analyze photos and apply what it believes to be the right adjustments from each of the three modules. Once the initial edits are made, users can dial them in to better suit their end goal. In addition to being used as a standalone application, Topaz Photo AI also has plugins for Adobe Lightroom Classic, Adobe Photoshop and Capture One that offer all of the features of the standalone app, including Autopilot. Bleeding Christ on the cross, does this mean I have to do all my pics over again?! I was going to ask do I upscle first then color or make adjustment (denoise,desplecle) and then color followed by upscaling...everytime I start these projects...they change the program! |
