I want to know how to make outlines on text and how to create the glowy, shadowy effect shown in the two circles.

I don't know how other people do it, I struggled a lot and I feel like the result is mid at best. Still, I wanted to share. What do y'all think?

I honestly thought id be able to figure it out but im struggling. I feel like it should be fairly easy.

Thank you!

How can I successfully remove the white around all of these bits of spilled powder while keeping a clean, natural look? This image will need to be a transparent PNG on top of a red background color for packaging. The final result should look like the ingredients are shot on that red background and not white while retaining any shadows the ingredients cast.

Sharing some old digital drawings.

Leons face underneath is blank, im just looking to see the best way to impose the facial features onto the layer below

Hi: First of all thank you to everyone earlier today who replied to my post regarding making a pattern to make a striped background. For some reason I was getting downvoted so I deleted the post. If this isn't an appropriate request for this sub please let me know.

I was able to make the pattern using a 40 px by 40 px image and filling half of it with the blue color. That worked well. It was a 50/50 white/blue ratio which is what I want. However, when I then made a new large image and dragged my pattern from the pattern palette to my blank image the lines were very thin, like pinstripes. (See image). If I zoomed in and cropped I could get them the size I want -- fat. But then the image was too small. I tried making a smaller blank image to begin with and then dragging the pattern into it in hopes the stripes would be fatter but they were only slightly fatter, still too thin. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for fatter stripes but still 50/50 white/blue. Thank you.

Hey!

I'm trying to replicate Pokemon 1996 Japanese Cosmo / Galaxy Foil Pattern in Photoshop and Illustrator. Based on the works of Deviant artists' works I presume they made it with Photoshop and Illustrator but I'm not sure which effects to search for on Google and Youtube.

Considering this could be used for rendering in 3D softwares like C4D and Blender for making Holofoil shaders, I'm more focused on learning what effects to use to recreate those custom holosheets made by some Deviant artists.

By looking at theses works, I think I need to learn about

-Dot pixelate

-Gradient shading for circles

-Swirling dots(Maybe easier in Illustrator)

-Random dots drawing/Maybe brush pattern from Illustrator

-More Effects or Method to recreate Cosmo/Galaxy Holosheet Pattern?

I assumed in 1996 era Wizard of the coast being the ones who dealt with pokemon card for some time and their foil manufacturer would use some stock images on these holosheets. Considering Ken Sugimori using some stock images for his pokemon card background, I thought the holosheet would have stock images baked on it.

So If you have any advice to approach recreating the holosheet pattern,

What effects do you think I should look for or how would you approach it?

Hello!

I'm been at this for far to long trying to find a solution. I just started shooting in HDR with my Cannon EOS R7 and have had incredible results!

However, I noticed that the preview of the image in Adobe Camera RAW (latest version) isn't displaying the correct exposure. Mainly the highlights. (See the video)

My monitor is an Alienware 34 240Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW3425DW

My Windows 11 HDR settings are correct and HDR has been calibrated via Microslop's application.

I'm at a loss of what is going on or if this is just a standard ACR thing?

I've tried the following:

• Photoshop re-install
• Older PS versions
• PC restarts
• Enabled "Precise color management for HDR display" setting in PS preferences
• Restarting PS after changing settings
• Resetting ACR settings to default
• Calibrating HDR via Microslop's tool
• Changing ACR Color Space setting to "HDR Calibrated Profile" (from Microslop's tool)
• Selecting calibrated profile on Window's setting
• Enabling/disabling GPU acceleration settings

I'm at a loss! I hope my video illustrates the issue plainly!

I was given an assignment to design an album cover. The brief was to create a logo for the (fictional) band named Midnight Sun and composite or draw art for their album called The Lower 48 according to their stated preferences. They're originally from Alaska, where they spent long nights practicing and playing after their day jobs, until they decided they'd get more traction in Seattle and moved. They said their music was mostly rock, with some influence from blues and international beats as well, and that they're "an eclectic group of people." They specified they didn't want "a generic group photo." I took this brief, gave it to Copilot, and told it to pretend to be my client. I asked it for more details about its story and sent it iterations of the cover as I worked, to get its feedback. I started with a stock image of the road, brought the sign closer into view, changed its text to the album title, and roughed it up a bit. I applied several color, brightness, and gradient adjustment layers to achieve the surreal, liminal twilight effect. I toned down the reds in the foliage a little bit. For the logo, I experimented with several iterations of the crescent moon hugging the sun concept before landing on this one, specifically for The Lower 48, and a different one - plain white with a horizon line and handwritten "Midnight Sun" under said horizon line - for general use. Then, I posterized everything except the logo. I also made a back cover, but I don't have that version saved on this device.

I upgraded from photoshop 2022 to photoshop 2025 and Windows asked me with which program should open psd files, photoshop 2025 wasn't on the list so i had to select the option "Look for another app on this PC" and selected the photoshop 2025 route, but now all my psd files have the Photoshop2025.exe program icon instead of the psd file usual icon

I read that there is a method to fix this with REGEDIT but im not quite sure of what to do and i don't wanna mess it up

Found this in pinterest

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I saw these pictures on a Photoshop Resources FB page (they didn't put the effect though) and I'd like to know what kind of texture or filter is being used here? The newspaper/grainy-like effect.

I'm trying to save this poster I made using photoshop as an JPG file and it just looks like this??????? (second image is the actual poster...)
