HOW TO DO A BATCH ASSIGN COLOR PROFILE IN PHOTOSHOP

HOW TO DO A BATCH ASSIGN COLOR PROFILE IN PHOTOSHOP

How to do a batch assign color profile in photoshop
RGB by itself, with no modifiers, is not a designation for a color profile. It is simply a generic description of the file type (like CYMK or grayscale). sRGB is a designation for a specific RGB profile.
If you open one of these images in PSCS3 (and if you have selected the appropriate warnings in the Color Management dialog) the program will inform you if the image is tagged with a profile other than your working color space, or if the image is not tagged at all. If the former, then just convert to sRGB. If the latter, assign sRGB profile.
Batch processing is very useful when a large number of files require the same processing. For example, using a camera to digitize a diary can easily generate hundreds of images that need to be rotated and renamed. Batch processing allows the changes to be applied to a group of files.
The main steps that may need to be done with batch processing for historical images are listed below in the order they would typically be applied.
· Crop the image
· Rotate the image
· Adjust tone and color
· Set the resolution to determine the size of the output image
· Assign or convert color space for the image
· Set the format of the output file
· Rename the file
Batch processing begins by identifying the changes that need to be made for a group of images. Typically, the changes are made to one of the files and the steps or settings recorded. Then these changes are specified for batch processing and applied to the other files. Output file names typically have characters identifying the group of files and then a number that is incremented for each file in sequence (e.g., dmb_diary_1926_001, dmb_diary_1926_002).
The safest strategy for batch processing is to put the output files in a separate folder from the input files. The input files should not be deleted until the batch processing has been verified to have completed successfully. While batch processing can greatly speed processing, it can also cause extensive damage if there are problems. With separate input and output folders batch processing can easily and reliably be redone if there are problems.
As would be expected, Photoshop CS has powerful batch processing capabilities. Photoshop Elements has limited batch processing capabilities that primarily can convert the format and apply auto adjustments to a group of files, but does not have a way to rotate the images or make custom adjustments. The free XnView image viewing application has useful batch processing capabilities but is limited to processing with only 8 bits per channel. XnView used alone or along with Photoshop Elements is usually adequate for processing simple documents such as diaries.
It is highly recommended that each image is checked to make sure the result of the batch processing was as expected. These checks can be done quickly with image viewing software such as XnView or the Windows Photo Viewer.

PHOTOSHOP CHANGING AN IMAGE IN A PSD FILE

PHOTOSHOP CHANGING AN IMAGE IN A PSD FILE

photoshop Changing an image in a PSD file
Adobe Photoshop is one of the world's best known software applications and widely used in professional graphics, both in print and for web work. While there are some great open source graphics applications like GIMP or Krita, sometimes Photoshop is still the only application which can be used in certain cases - especially in the pre-press world.
One of the sources of its power is the native PSD file format. A PSD file can not only hold image data, but is more of a large container which can include metadata, camera info, text, vector artwork and more. Most other programs only handle a small subset of its capabilities.
PSD Import
Scribus does have its own native capabilities to import PSD files from version 6 and earlier - the latest version of the PSD format which is publicly documented. The Scribus Team has also been able to worm some features out of files created with later PS versions, so most PSD files can at least be loaded into Scribus, but they may have file format features which are not supported.
In general, PSD support is quite extensive, including:
The ability to manipulate and adjust layer settings.
The option to enable and use masking along with the paths embedded in the file.
In almost all cases, provided they are not defective, ICC color profiles which are embedded into a PSD are detected and used when color management is enabled.
Scribus generally will import 8-bit Greyscale, RGB and CMYK PSD files without issue.
Alpha transparency is supported.
Scribus will import PSD files with normal layers and will display the individual layers in the Extended Image Properties dialog, which is avialable from the Context Menu.
Clipping paths in PSD files will be recognized and can be used for text flow.
Blending modes which are in the image file can be used to affect the way the image displays and prints. It's also possible to modify blending or to apply other modes between PSD layers. This won't affect the original file.
In almost all cases Scribus will automatically detect the file encoding, whether it is ASCII, Binary or Binary with JPEG.
Potential Issues
Adjustment layers and effect layers are not yet supported. In such a case, Scribus will fall back to using a "flattened" version of the file.
Layered TIFFs saved from Photoshop are often not handled well by other TIFF readers and importing applications. This is because Photoshop actually embeds PSD type layers in a private tag. Scribus will attempt to read the PSD layers info and, if successful, make it accessible to the Extended Image Properties dialog. Text and vector layers within this private tag are not yet supported.
Specialties
DCS (Desktop Color Separations) 1.x/2.0 files are a special flavor of EPS saved in Photoshop and are imported natively - much like a PSD file - and complete with ICC profile support. Image quality should be close to or equivalent to the native PSD file. Vector masks are also detected and can be used to control the display within Extended Image Properties. DCS files can also be saved from Quark XPress®, but this flavor will be imported using Ghostscript as a filter for the time being. This is partly because the way Quark X-Press® exports them does not conform to the DCS specifications properly.
Scribus can detect Duotones, Tritones and Quadtones in PSD and Photoshop EPS files and import them. The difference between both formats is that you need to import the spot colors from the EPS separately via Edit > Colors > Import. If you import a PSD file, you can directly manipulate each of the spot colors within it via the Image Effects dialog, which is available from the Context Menu. In most cases, Scribus will detect the image as Duo, Tri or Quadtone and automatically import the colors from the PSD file.
Microsoft Expression Web enables you to generate a .png (PNG-24), .gif, or .jpg file from an Adobe Photoshop .psd file and select the Photoshop layers you want to include or exclude from the image. If you want to make changes to the original .psd file, in Expression Web, you can select the web-optimized image that Expression Web generated for you and conveniently open the original .psd file in your default .psd file editor, such as Adobe Photoshop.
Expression Web can import Photoshop .psd files that have all the following properties:

ADJUSTING SKIN TONE IN PHOTOSHOP

ADJUSTING SKIN TONE IN PHOTOSHOP

Adjusting Skin Tone in Photoshop CS5
Let's start the discussion on improving photos by looking at what is wrong with the first image at the left. At first glance, if you are new to photo enhancement, and cannot see the corrected image, it may not look too bad.
However, there are several problems with the image that take away the impact and make what should be a dramatic photo fade into oblivion. Compare this image to the enhanced version at the bottom of the page. Notice how the first one seems dull and uninspired compared to the second. The enhanced image pops off the page and really grabs your attention.
The transition from the image at the left to the one at the bottom of the page is accomplished in steps. The steps I have learned to follow are contrast, tone, color and finally sharpening. Occasionally an image only needs one or two minor adjustments, and really bad, or specialty photos, like jewelry, require more than this list of enhancements. However, it is a good starting point.
The Levels Control is another way to modify the color in an image. Like curves, Levels also lets you change the color across the tonal range, modifying a composite image or individual color channels. The dialog features a histogram method of displaying image data that is unique and sometimes useful. It shows the full range of tonal values, from light to dark, on a linear scale. A graph rises and falls across that scale, indicating the actual number of pixels in the image that have the corresponding value. Therefore, as a general rule you would want a nice rounded curve that is highest in the mid-tones, with good representation in the highlight and shadow ends of the spectrum.
The Levels control uses highlight, midpoint, and shadow slides, which shift the image values in the histogram, lightening or darkening the image. I find this three variable approach limiting compared to the unlimited number of points I can place and manipulate on a curve. On the other hand, until I became comfortable with color numbers, Levels was my main color control. It also allows you to set white and black points, and delivers decent results for basic to intermediate changes.

Color Swirl Effect in photoshop

Color Swirl Effect in photoshop

We all know Photoshop is a very powerful tool to create spectacular effects, however, the software requires you spend much time to grasp. Maybe one of the ways mastering Photoshop is to read tutorials on the web. So, this article presents you some of the best Photoshop tutorials for Effect we have founded so far. Most of them are step-by-step tutorials and show you how to use common tools in Photoshop for best results.
Light is a cool subject to talk about. After reading some articles about light effect, I decided to write a tutorial showing how to create a very spectacular light effect around a model. Before that, I will show you a quick technique to retouch portrait and bring new look on it, step by step
Step 1: Open a new document, I used 800x600 pixels and look for a model photo on the internet, this is the one I used:
After downloading, place it on your document. Now we will start to retouch it!
Step 2: As you can see, it is a bit dark so we should make it brighter first. Duplicate your photo by pressing Ctrl-J and change its blending mode to Screen. Simple, right?
It is now better. Merge down this layer donw by pressing Ctrl-E. After that, duplicate it again and go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and use a value of 4.5 pixels
Step 3: Change the blending mode to Overlay and merge it down. The model now looks wonderful!
Step 4: Next we will add some light on her. Use the Pen tool and make some point around the dark areas of the model, don't need to be so exact
Step 5: Convert this path into a selected area, you can save this area for later use by going to Select>Save Selection
Step 6: Create a new layer and go to Filter>Render>Clouds and Filter>Artistic>Plastic Wrap, just use the default values
Now change its blending mode to Color Dodge. Your photo may look a bit different:
Step 7: In the next steps, we will add light effect on the model. Use the Pen tool to draw some curves on her
Step 8: Reset your colors by pressing D and invert them by pressing X. Choose the Brush tool and go to Window>Brushes to open the Brushes panel. Pick a small brush (about 5 pixels) with 0% hardness and tick on Shape Dynamics. Create a new layer, choose the Pen tool again, right click and choose Stroke Path. Make sure you tick on the Simulate Pressure before pressing OK
A small curve, thinner at two ends appear like this:
Step 9: Repeat step 8 again but this time we also tick on the Scattering checkbox (make sure you make it on a new layer)
After choosing Stroke Path, we get
Now we can delete the path by pressing Enter. Double click on your two new created layers to open Layer Style dialog box. Use Outer Glow as following
Use the Eraser tool to delete some light areas, the glowing light seems to surround her. After this step, we get:
Step 10: Make our light effect stronger by duplicate the "glowing dots" layer. Press Ctrl-I to invert its colors
Change the blending mode to Overlay. And this is the result:
This technique can be used in various ways but the principle is still the same. Hope you enjoy this tutorial.

photoshop create Electric Swirl Effect

photoshop create Electric Swirl Effect

A few days ago I took sometime to try some tutorials I read such as the really cool Dramatic Text on Fire Effect in Photoshop by Collis from PSDTUTS, and put some 3D typography ideas into practice. My idea was to create a 3D text with fire coming from the inside of the document like a hole.
Step 1
The first thing you will have to do is create the 3D text. To do that you can use Illustrator. It has a very nice 3D filter and it will work just fine.
Type the text you want and go to Effect>3D>Extrude & Bevel. Change the Position to Off-Axix Bottom. Then you just rotate the X,Y, and X Axis until you get the result you want. Follow the image below for reference. Tip: It's very important that you select Draw Hidden Faces. Otherwise Illustrator will not create some faces that will be very important for the end result.
Step 2
Now you will have to expand the 3D effect in order to select and change the color of the faces you want. Go to Obejct>Expand Appearance. First select the top faces, and move them away. Then select just the outer faces and fill them with black.
Step 3 - Photoshop
Create a new document in Photoshop and fill the background with Black. Copy the 3D text without the top faces and paste it in Phothoshop. Position it in the middle of the document and reduce its size.
Step 4
With the Magic Wand Tool (W) select the black faces and delete them.
Step 5
Go to Images>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation, change the color of the text to Orange.
Step 6
Make sure you have black and white for the background and foreground colors. Then go to Filter>Render>Clouds... After that, resize the layer. Make it smaller just to cover the word. Then just change the Blend Mode to Color Dodge
Step 7
Now create a new layer on top of the others and fill it with black, then with the Brush Tool (B) select a regular brush, very soft, like 0% hardness, and white for the color. Then just paint over some ares to make them brighter. (1-4)
Step 8
Apply a Layer Style to the 3D word, use Stroke with 1px Size, 40% Opacity and Black for the color.
Step 9
Let's add a Gradient Overlay to the background. It will be necessary in order to make some of the light effects work. Use Radial for the Style and use Black and #412e1d(brown) for the colors.
Step 10
Now duplicate the 3D layer and go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur use 30px for the Radius. Position this layer beneath the Hell layer.
Step 11
With the Ellipse Tool(U) create an ellipse like the image below, then go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur. Use 70px for the Radius. After that, just change the Blend Mode to Overlay.
Step 12
Create a new layer on top of the Backgroud layer. Fill it with white and go to Filter>Texture>Texturizer. Use 60% for Scaling, 15 for the Relief and Top for the Light. Change the Blend Mode to Multiply.
Step 13
Here I wanted to add a nice texture to the floor, so I used a wooden texture. You can find the one I used at
Paste the image in the document and resize it to make it cover the gradient area. Then go to Edit>Transform>Distort. Move the vertices to apply a nice perspective to the wood. After that just change the Blend Mode to Multiply.
Step 14 - Fire
Now let's create the fire. To do that I will use what I learnt from the awesome Dramatic Text on Fire Effect in Photoshop by Collis from PSDTUTS.com. Basically we will get a photo of fire with flames and use the Warp tool to create different variations of the flame.
Download the image at http://www.sxc.hu/photo/985088 and paste it in the document. Make sure that it's in front of the other layes. Then with the Eraser Tool (E) delete some areas. Also go to Edit>Transform>Warp and distort the flame to get a nice effect. Then just change the Blend Mode to Screen.
