A realistic 3D Rendering converted to a "less realistic" photoshop image?

Hello and thanks for your time,
Was wondering if there are some ways in converting a highly realistic rendering of an object generated in a 3D program into a more illustrative, simplified, alittle less realistic version in Photoshop?
The object has plenty of silver reflections, HDRI environment map reflections, precise shadows and highlights, etc. I just want to make it look more generic and not as polished I guess.
Are there filters or plugins that will do this in a plug in play method or is it more prodedural and manual?

Poster Edges would probably be too much, even with the minimum posturization settings. So I like to use third party plugins like Topaz Simplify, or Topaz Clean. I am sure the other third party packages like Perfect Suite and Nik will do a similar job.
Or you could try reducing the bit depth by converting to Indexed colour, but if your render has smooth gradients, even the maxium 256 levels would cause banding. How about uploading a JPG of the render to the forum?

Convert photos using the Tools Photoshop Imagine Processor (Photoshop CS 5)

All of a sudden, I am having issues when I attempt to convert photos using the Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor option in Adobe Bridge. I used this methodology in the past and the conversion to JPG or TIFFs would fly with no interruption. Now I am getting now getting getting dialog boxes with "New Snapshot" in the title, I click OK, then get a message, "The command "Feather" is not currently available," I click "continue, and gert a "New Layer" dialog box, I click OK, and get a "Fill" dialog box, I click OK and the JPG or Tiff is then generated. This series then starts over on the next photo to generate. I am using Photoshop CS5 on a MAC. I did uninstall and re-install Photoshop l, but I am getting the same series on messages. Any suggestions? Thanks

It sounds like you have an action running when processing the photos
Look at the bottom of the image processor dialog and and see if Run Action is checked

Convert RTFD to Doc (without losing images)

Hello!
Is it possible to convert RTFD-format files to Microsoft Word (doc) format - without losing images?
As a longtime Mac user, I have a multitude of RTF and RTFD files. I want to be able to access the contents of these files on platforms other than OS X (eg: Windows).
RTFD is not supported outside OS X. I'll qualify this by acknowleding that since RTFD files are OS X Packages, they show up in Windows as a folder containing image files and an RTF file; some people conclude that this is acceptable since, strictly speaking, its readable by windows. I disagree because its fiddly and hack-like rather than simple, recognizable and practical like a .doc file.
Given that I can open an RTFD file, copy/paste it's content (images and text) to a new blank Microsoft Word document and save it as .doc, it seems to me that I should be able to automate those steps using AppleScript or Automator.
I've Googled for a solution to this but no-one else is talking about it, with the exception of:
- the command-line 'textutil' converter, but that creates ascii files that are necessarily stripped of all images
- converting to HTML, but that creates more than a single file (an HTML file plus a folder containing the images)
Am I missing something really obvious?
Many thanks!
Peter

Hi duncang!
The command-line 'textutil' app strips out images and so is useless for my purposes. As you pointed out, the solutions suggested by MrHoffman and Etresoft are incorrect.
A solution for my original post for this thread: use Apple's Pages for Mac (part of the iWork '09 Suite). I have succesfully converted thousands of RTFD files containing images into Microsoft Word (.doc) format.
If you have a lot of RTFD files to convert, then I recommend using an applescript to automate the process.
The applescript wizard Yvan Koenig (link) has very kindly provided a useful applescript for Pages '09 to automatically convert batches of RTF and RTFD files into Word or PDF. That guy knows what he's talking about and should be knighted for his efforts and kindness.
Look on his Box dot net public folder (link) for a file called 'batch_Pages2Doc.zip' (created Jan 31 2013). Here is the path to the file: / for_iWork'09 / for_Pages09 / batch_Pages2Doc.zip
- open the script in 'AppleScript Editor' on your Mac
- read the useful instructions he provides in comments within the script
- save it as an application so you can use it as a droplet onto which you can drag multiple RTFD files
- you can even edit the script using his instructions so it exports PDF as well as Doc
- it saves output to a 'wasPages_now_doc' folder on either your desktop or in your Documents folder
I'm running:
- Mac OS X 10.8.4
- iWork 2009 (retail boxed edition, not Mac App Store edition)
I hope this helps. It took me months to discover the solution to my original post.

How do I convert a pdf file to photoshop?

how do I convert a pdf file to photoshop?

unless you understand what you're doing and why, opening .pdf in Photoshop is a very risky move
because any vector objects, including fonts, will be pixelized (rastered at the chosen document ppi)
this really sucks if the designer delivered a professionally packaged PDF with vector elements because the vector will not print vector sharp
for example
a moron at a print shop drags PDF business cards or posters into Photoshop and prints pixelized vector objects -- when you ask why the vector didn't print sharp -- they are clueless
you also may hit profile issues that change the designer's color
there must be 50 ways to ruin a project (and 25 of them are downstream)...

Trouble converting a catalog from Adobe Photoshop Album into Elements 9

I have looked all over and found instructions for converting a catalog from Adobe Photoshop Album into Photoshop Elements 9, but it does not see my catalog? I have tried selecting it by clicking "Find More Catalogs" and I select the folder containing the catalog but it does not show up and the option to "Show Previously Converted Catalogs" is disabled? I am quite frustrated, as the entire reason for purchasing Adobe Photoshop Elements was to be able to import my old Photoshop Album catalog. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the suggestion, I have tried converting the catalog from the psa file as well as restoring from the psb (backup) file and neither one is working on my new computer. It partially converts the catalog from Photoshop Album (PSA) 2 but then all the file links are broken in Photoshop Elements (PSE) 9. I have about 10,000 photos in this catalog, so it is a lot of files. I still have my old computer so I tried installing PSE 9 on it and then it converted the PSA catalog fine, so I backup up the PSE 9 catalog on my old computer and tried doing a restore from this backup on my new computer and same thing, only some of the files come through.

Convert Photoshop images to WordPress theme

I work as a freelancer web developer, my website is www.quleiss.com I am more into coding compared to designing. I also work as a WordPress developer. In this ever changing web development industry there is a technique to convert the photoshop image files directly into WordPress Theme. I tried the same using the devine theme but I was getting errors. Plz help me.
Thnx.

I'm not sure what you are getting at. A theme is more than a bunch of pretty graphics and half the CSS definitions WP uses aren't even immediately visible and only kick in when doing specific queries or displaying content in a specific way. So from my perspective this doesn't really make much sense and any theme design is done much better in DW or similar with a life connection to a server and WP install.

How to convert a black and white tif image to colour

I want to convert a black and white tif image to colour. I opened it in Photoshop, changed the mode to RGB colour/8, saved it as psd, but when I use the Replace Colour dialogue box, I just get my colour showing as grey-scale. What’s the correct way to proceed?
Thank you

What’s the correct way to proceed?
Joke?
In Photoshop there are often more ways than one to achieve a task and none of them need be considered »wrong« as long as the result fits the intention, so »the correct way« seems to be problematic terminology.
Anyway, one can use a Layer set to Blend Mode Color and paint on that with whatever colors.
Or one can use Solid Color Layers set to Blend Mode Color.
Or Hue/Saturation Layers …
To edit contrast if necessary Curves or Levels Adjustment Layers can be employed.
You could also have googled »photoshop colorize black and white« …

I want to convert the trial version of Photoshop CS6 as a liscense version

Hi,
I want to convert the trial version of Photoshop CS6 as a liscense version. This trial version is already installed on my machine. How do I get the serial key?
Also will it again do a installation, as the trial version took close to 11 hr so a complete installation.
regards
SG

You get the serial key by purchasing the application. You do not have to reinstall. You can use the serial key to convert the trial version to the fully licensed version.

Convert RBG to CMYK in photoshop elements 7...

Convert RBG to CMYK in Photoshop elements 7.....could not find how to do this in help...thanks

Sorry, but this is one of the very hard lines that Adobe draws between PS and PSE. You simply can't do it in PSE, because they want you to buy PS for that.

How do I convert pics from old Adobe Photoshop program on cd in pdd to jpeg?

I have cds with pdd pics from my old (1999) Adobe Photoshop program. My system won't open them. I now have Photoshop Elements 8. I can go to Organize and get photos from the cd. They are in my catalog and I can open them there.
How do I convert them to jpeg?
When I go to Edit, I can't find my photos in the catalog. I only find the new pics in my Photo Gallery that are already jpeg.
I feel as though I'm missing something simple. Can someone help me?

Thanks for your response. I did get a way to do it with the software I already have.

There's a utility called "Image Converter Plus" that can do this for you. They modestly calls it "the best image converter in the industry. You can see their web site at: http://www.imageconverterplus.com/help-center/work-with-icp/examples/how-to-convert/PDD_jp g.html .
Here's from their web site:
h1. How to convert PDD to JPG
Converting PDD to JPG is very easy with Image Converter Plus. In Windows Explorer, select a PDD image and click your right mouse button. In the context menu, select Convert to submenu and click Custom convert line.
==========
This seems to be exactly what you want.
Since they have a separate "download" and "purchase" section, it's not clear to me if you have to pay the $49 license fee to use the utility. You may have to purchase the license to get batch processing.
Even if you do have to pay, my philosophy in life is that if someone can rescue some important pictures with their $49 utility, then it's worth the price.

Converting a .numbers file to an image?

I have a spreadsheet that I will be updating every so often that I want to present to a group of people on a message board as an image. Is there a way to convert a .numbers file to an image, or can I convert to an image once I convert the .numbers to pdf or .xls?

If you don't need the entire spreadsheet but only a portion, you can use screenshots. OSX comes prebuilt with some great shortcuts that give you multiple ways of getting them, far more flexible than M$. Look at this website that has the shortcuts listed and explained:
http://guides.macrumors.com/TakingScreenshots_in_Mac_OSX
Example: I almost never use Preview to convert because I can just use CMD & Shift & 4 to get a cross-hair and create a perfect tiff of the area I drag the cross-hairs around, right on the desktop.

Convert and save video, audio, and images to more than a hundred standard f

I bought Quicktime pro because it said it could "Convert and save video, audio, and images to more than a hundred standard formats". I have .mov that i took and want to change to an .avi
I feel stupid but how do i do it? shouldn't there be a "convert" or "save as" button?

AVI isn't dead, it remains the ONLY format in which any real editing can be performed (ie filters and colors and zooms etc). That said, converting FROM any compressed format like .mov back to an uncompressed format will not restore the information lost in the original compression conversion. Like the man said, you probably won't like the result. If you want to make an AVI to edit artistically, you'll need to go back to the source and re-record it to make an original uncompressed avi (example I use 'DVD to AVI converter' software to recode my homemade DVDs to a huge uncompressed AVI, then play with cutting and cropping and zooming and special effects and color filters, etc in a program such as VirtualDub, an THEN open in QT Pro to convert to MOVs to share).

Not rendering entire sequence only less than a minute :-(

Has any one else had the problem of having less than a minute of render regqardless of the durtion of the sequence. Audio goes first then video goes black and plays for the duration of the render with no audio and black video?

I did . I even tried to add the extra 25 seconds at the tail of the sequence after the edited clips end...same result, audio goes then video follows a few seconds after that. I should add that I am using Pr CC 2014
