PhotoShop Help/Questions - Ask The Pros
Whether you're an advanced user trying to figure out how to apply a certain effect or a new user trying to figure out the basics, this is the place to ask.
So I'm just curious as to how you guys do renders. I've seen a lot of different ways to do it on YouTube but I'm curious as to how you guys do it, especially PT cause his renders look amazing, no jaggy edges or anything. Do you guys use the pen tool, the lasso tool, or the quick select tool? What settings do you have for the tool? After you delete the background and you have the basic render, what tools do you use to clean things up?
Re: PhotoShop Help/Questions - Ask The Pros
Pen tool if you want really clean cuts. Make sure you use the Paths window as well, since it saves your pen tool drawing and you can make multiple pen tool selections.
After you're done tracing, right click, make selection. I personally make a copy of the render on a separate layer from the original image. if you work with nice resolution images, then there's no need for touch ups, unless you are making renders for others, then you can sharpen it and all that jazz.

Or ask PT.
I have very little patience for those jazz.
Re: PhotoShop Help/Questions - Ask The Pros
Sweet, thanks for the advice. I'll render something tonight and post the fruits of my labor.
Re: PhotoShop Help/Questions - Ask The Pros
I hate cutting. I remember my Photo Editing professor giving me a few assignments of it. All of my fucking rage. I don't have the patience for that shit.
Re: PhotoShop Help/Questions - Ask The Pros
Meh, I just crank up some music and have at it. I did one in GIMP a while back just for practice by using the fuzzy select tool to delete the background, then zooming in real close and going around all the edges with an eraser. The erasing part took me a couple hours.
This is the one I did in GIMP a while back. PhotoBucket shrunk it since the file size was too big.

I'll post my PhotoShop render in a few hours in my own thread.

Seriously? Does PhotoShop not allow you to choose your compression level for PNGs (other than large or small)? That's retarded, even GIMP has that.

I'm not sure what you mean by compression level, but if you go to File>Save for Web and Devices, then you can reduce the file size of your image.

Re: PhotoShop Help/Questions - Ask The Pros
Don't upload stuff on Photobucket, especially renders.
use either imageshack , imgur or anything else that you know off
Also i had no idea about that compression thing in PNG , if i want compression i just use JPG. PNG when i don't care about the image size, which is most of the time.
Using CS4 and as far as options go i only get the Interlace option.

Minus doesn't compress images, so I suggest that for uploading renders and/or other large images.
Re: PhotoShop Help/Questions - Ask The Pros
How would you go about making a curved line in photoshop 2 px wide using a color selected by the eyedropper tool without manually drawing it with the brush tool?
Re: PhotoShop Help/Questions - Ask The Pros
Pen tool, right click it, then give it a stroke(not that kind of stroke).

Re: PhotoShop Help/Questions - Ask The Pros
^ Awesome, thanks. It's a little different from that in CS6, but I figured it out.
Re: PhotoShop Help/Questions - Ask The Pros
anyone have a site that has like a ton of renders such as abstract pictures?

Re: PhotoShop Help/Questions - Ask The Pros
If I wanted to make a template for something like an anime chart, how would I go about doing that? I'd assume you create a base layer, but holes in it, and put the pictures underneath that layer so you can see them through the holes. I just don't get how they get everything aligned.

You can mask the pics.FullArmageddon wrote:If I wanted to make a template for something like an anime chart, how would I go about doing that?

Re: PhotoShop Help/Questions - Ask The Pros
Aligning stuff is pretty simple, Photoshop comes with a grid, just select the mouse tool and drag lines from the grids, both from the left side and from the top (for vertical and horizontal guidance )
check: View > Rulers
for the images you could either edit each image so they are the same size or do it the easier way which consists of you placing solid color rectangles all around the image and then using Layer masking the images on each rectangle.
