Photoshop CS4 question: How do i fade an image into another image?

With photoshop, you can use gradients to fade an image into a solid color. This is very useful, however I have seen images and animations where it looks like multi-colored images have been faded into other multi-colored images. This seems impossible to do with the stock photoshop cs4 gradients. If there is a way to do this with photoshop, please let me know, if not, can you suggest a program that has a feature like this?





Thanks in advance for your answers.Photoshop CS4 question: How do i fade an image into another image?
I am not exactly sure what you are asking but to have images fade out or in you need to use the animation tools.


Once your there you can either change the layer occupancy a little down each time you make a new key in the animation bar. Or you can choose the gradient with one side color and the other side checkerboard like which has the effect of having part of the image there and the rest fading out to the image behind it on another layer.


Hope this helps if not just search for a tutorial along the lines of the title of your question.

What exactly is feathering in Photoshop?

I'm under the impression that it has something to do with rendering but what exactly is feathering, what's its purpose, tips/tricks, etc?What exactly is feathering in Photoshop?
Feathering is softening the outer edge of something. You could trace around something or draw something, then soften the edge of it by how many pixels you want. You can select a part or a border with the magic wand %26amp; feather it from there. I really dont use it much, just use the blur setting at softening.

I just got this program and I am trying so hard to figure it out! It's Adobe Photoshop CS4How can I make my photoshop brush fade into a different color?
In the example, there is no change in brush color. There is a gradient applied to the stroke (outline) of the text and, I believe, a layer applied over all the elements of the image (meaning the very top layer) with a white to transparent gradient applied. White on the bottom, transparent on the top. Then the Opacity of this layer is reduced so that below can be seen. Change in Blending mode might also be involved. (The text may be in the very top layer with its Opacity reduced just slightly.)How can I make my photoshop brush fade into a different color?

How can I make one part of a picture colored and the rest of it black and white with adobe photoshop elements?

I would really love to be able to do this so any help would be greatly appreciated!How can I make one part of a picture colored and the rest of it black and white with adobe photoshop elements?
Since you specified your software, I can answer you. Thanks.





This is one way that you can do it in Photoshop Elements. Maybe this is helpful for other image editors as well. It would be helpful to print this out and follow along. It's easy to do, but you must do the steps in order. Perhaps your own image editor has similar commands. If not, you might want to add details or post a new question to tell us what software you will be using.





1. Open the image you wish to alter.





2. Save the image using a different name than the original name so that you don't lose your original.





3. Use any selection tool you wish to outline the object whose color you wish to preserve. The Magnetic Lasso Tool is pretty quick, but the regular Lasso Tool might be more precise.





3-A. Use the erase tool to erase any color that you do NOT wish to preserve.





4. Hit [CTRL]+[C] to copy the selection.





5. Hit [SHIFT]+[CTRL]+[N] to make a new blank layer.


(Name it if you want, but you can accept ';Layer 1.';)





6. Hit [CTRL]+[V] to place the selection in the blank layer.





7. Move back to the background layer by clicking on that layer in the layers palette. (on the right of your screen)





8. Hit [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[U] to remove all color.





8-A. ALTERNATE APPROACH No. 1: Hit [CTRL]+[U] and use sliders to desaturate, leaving a hint of color present.





8-B. ALTERNATE APPROACH No. 2: Use a ';Convert to Black and White'; utility, if your software offers this. In Photoshop Elements, the command is [ALT]+[CTRL]+[B].





9. Hit [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[E] to merge the layers.





10. Save your work.How can I make one part of a picture colored and the rest of it black and white with adobe photoshop elements?
This works on most programs, use quick select and phobocotican and filter multi-dye and then show it to the filter of photocopy and them use the print ctrl button and then simplify layers.

What's a good camera to choose if I'm going to photoshop all the pictures?

I've been thinking about getting a professional camera but I'm not sure what camera to get if I'm using it for photoshop.What's a good camera to choose if I'm going to photoshop all the pictures?
The brand and model is a decision only you can make but, if you are wanting to photoshop get a camera that supports (shoots in) RAW . This way you have total control in a photo editing program.What's a good camera to choose if I'm going to photoshop all the pictures?
Your question can be taken in different ways...





If you want to know what would be sufficient because you will modify your pictures to some extreme measures.


Example: editing your pictures into cartoon like pictures. Then any type of camera should be good enough.





If you want to know the minimum editing power the camera needs to have because you are going to enhance the image quality in Adobe Photoshop then you should specify what use you are going to need that camera for.





Example: Do you want to simply document the life and times of your pet, family and friends or do you fancy yourself to become a digital artist?





The end result is not always about the image resolution. How much resolution you need to satisfy your objective can not be overlooked neither. The resolution will determine how much information the camera can capture as you take your picture.





The best detailed output is what you should really look at as a final choice. The camera with the highest mega-pixels might be useless if it is so slow that pictures come out blurry when taking pictures of someone in action. A good ';shake reduction system'; should be incorporated in the camera software as well.





If the camera has a bad automatic focus then you are not going to like the end result even if your camera has a 1000 megapixels super fast burst CMOS sensor. Photoshop cannot adjust the focus of a picture.





Yes, I know it's allot to look at and as specially when we don't know what to look for in a camera. As I said earlier, your need is what will justify your purchase. Do you need to take 60 and up to 1200 pictures a second to capture the perfect picture of a humming bird? In that case I would recommend the Casio EXILIM Pro EX-F1. But you will be limited to 6 mega pixels. (still very high quality image should I say)





Personally, I would aim at a very well rounded digital camera such as the Canon EOS 450D - Digital Rebel XSi with great features such as 12.2 megapixel CMOS sensor DIGIC III Image Processor.

Look around in Digital Camera Style web site. Not only does it offer reviews and sample pictures taken with the digital cameras but you can also compare the prices for the same camera offered by different sites. You might even see one that is for sale at auction for a fraction of the retail sale price. Worth a look and lots of information there.





Good luck
You can't go wrong with a Nikon D40!
