Applying smart filter to a cropped image

In my case, I have a smart layer and the smart filters on it.
I cropped the smart layer without deleting cropped pixels and now I want to apply a little bit vignette and a border with one of the smart filters.
But, the smart filter is applied to all the pixels in the image, not to the cropped ones.
I'm duplicating the smart layer and rasterizing it and applying the filter on this second rasterized layer, but there is no way, the filter is always applied to the uncropped image.
Is there a way to apply a smart filter only to the cropped pixels of an image?

Yes

Yes, although since you are cropping an image you could copy the clip you've cropped, then Control Click the matte clip, select Paste Attributes, and check the Crop box. This will size your matte to the exact crop of your clip. Then load the clip into the viewer and since it's a crop you can slightly modify the crop or you can simply move the matte clip a little down and to the right or left or whatever your taste desires. Now you have your clip and a border.
If I wanted to have the image move or re-size, I would have to then apply the changes to the border seperately as well? Or would I nest them into 1 clip then apply size changes?
At this point Nesting them would be faster.

Using ACR smart filter on 32 bit images

After combining 3 images in HDR pro then opening in Photoshop CC using the ACR smart filter, how do I keep the edits I made when I then flatten the image and convert to 16 bit?
I seem to loose all the edits I made and it just brings up the HDR Pro options.
What is the point of being able to use the ACR smart filter if you then have to start again on a 16 bit version???

I usually save the 32-bit version before flattening and converting to 16-bit. Then you can always go back to the original edits by opening the 32-bit file. But yes, granted, this is a two-step process.
When you are confronted with the HDR dialog again, under "Method," just choose Exposure and Gamma. Then you won't lose all your HDR construction work from before.

Applying a border to a cropped image??? Help.

How do i apply a border to an image that's been cropped? It seems that everything I try will add the border to the original edges of the image, and then the border gets cropped out along with the edges of the video when I start cropping.

Lightroom ignores smart filter masks

I just noticed the following problem after upgrading from LR4 to LR5:
- Select RAW (.CR2) file in LR5
- Edit in -> Open as Smart Object in Photoshop (CS6)
- Apply smart filter
- Use smart filter mask to apply filter to portion of image
- Save
When viewed and exported as a .jpg in LR5, the filter effect is not masked, but applied to the entire image. The .jpg saved directly from CS6 is correctly masked. As a workaround, the smart layer can be duplicated and rasterized. Is this a defect introduced in LR5?
Update 6/27/2013:
The problem also exists in LR4
It is not related to RAW, or Open as Smart Object from LR. It can be reproduced by:
- create a new image in Photoshop CS5 or CS6
- convert to smart object
- apply smart filter (something noticeable, like solarize)
- add a smart filter mask for a portion of the image
- save as a .psd
When imported into LR4 or LR5, the smart filter mask is ignored, and the filter is applied to the entire image.
Can anyone else reproduce this problem? Is it a known limitation of LR?

I doubt it. When you operate on the layers level, all you have is pixel values of the individual layers without one layer knowing about the other. Filter chaining outside of what smart objects offer would require a much different approach to the whole matter and then we talk about a workflow similar to node-based compositing applications, where each processing operation is concatenated with the previous one in terms of how the code runs under the hood. Not something that will happen any time soon in PS, I think.

Applying Oil Paint Filter to Large Scale Images

I need to apply the effects available from the Oil Paint filter to very large, 80mb images. The filter works exactly as I need it to on small images, but not at large scale. A comment I have heard in a Lynda.com video on the Oil Paint filter mentioned that the filter does not work well on large images. However, I REALLY need this, even if I need to pay someone to write a program that can do it! Does anyone know if / how I can get the filter to work for large images and / or if there is a third-party plug-in that will provide the same results? Having this filter work on large scale images could make or break a business idea I have so finding a solution is extremely important to me.

What's the problem you're having with applying it to an 80 MB image? Is it that the effects don't scale up enough?
Technically it can run on large images if you have the computer resources... I've just successfully applied it to an 80 MB image, and with the sliders turned all the way up it looks pretty oil painty, though it kind of drops back into a realistic looking photo when zoomed out...
If it's just that the sliders can't go high enough, given that it's a very abstract look you're trying to achieve, have you considered applying it at a downsized resolution, then upsampling, then maybe applying it again? This is done that way...
Oh, and by the way, Oil Paint has been removed from Photoshop CC 2014, so if you're planning a business based on automatically turning people's large photos into oil paintings you should assume you'll be stuck with running the older Photoshop version.

In Photoshop CS4 extended, trying to apply sepia filter to a photo, need help

I've been re-watching the videos on smart filters, and also I remember having seen one video (either in NAPP or here or on Lynda.com) where one can make a nice sepia tone color for a photo. I see the option in the filter menu, at the bottom of the layers panel, and one can choose sepia, and then a layer appears, called photo filter 1, above my "smart object" image, but then I don't see any change. What do I do next, to get the sepia effect applied over my original (now smart) image? Can someone take me from there, or give me a reference to the training video that covers this?
Thanks in advance.

Here's two other ways when in cmyk, but the settings below may need some
tweaking depending on which cmyk profile your using and your idea of what sepia
should look like.
For these to work, you'll have to desaturate the layer: To retain the smart
object, you could double click on the smart object icon, then in the image
that opens, go to Image>Adjustments>Desaturate and then save. This will
update the smart object in your original image.
1. Add a Color fill adjustment layer and set the layer blending mode to either overlay, softlight
or color.
2. Use a color balance adjustment layer and only adjust the Midtones.

How do I apply a filter to a layer without having a selection affect it?

I have 3 layers. I have been working on two, and have a a selection running so I can apply filters on those two. I now want to add a 3rd layer, and both move it and apply filters to it, but I want the entire new layer affected. However, the selection I previously made affects the new layer. If I move it, the selection moves, if I apply a filter, it applies only to the selection. This is not what I want, as I want to experiment with positioning and filtering this layer behind the selections. I will have other things to do with the selections as I continue, so I don't want to deselect and lose the selection. I'm thinking this should be simple, but I cannot find the right "magic words" to find the answer. How do I get a layer to be independent of a selection on other layers? The layers are not linked. Working with CS6.

Hi nitmd88,
You've asked a very good question. You can save selections and reuse them over and over again in Photoshop. The way to do that is to save them with the Channel panel. Here's how to do it:
Create a selection.
Choose Window > Channels to display the Channels panel. At the bottom of the Channels panel, click the Save Selection button. A new channel will be created. This is an exact replica of the selection you made.
Now that your selection is saved and can be reactivated at anytime, you can deselect (Select > Deselect) and work on other areas of your image. Anytime you need to activate that selection, simply choose Select > Load Selection and choose the Alpha channel you saved in step 2.
I hope this helps,
Luanne

Cropping Images with Opacity Masks | Learn Illustrator CS6 | Adobe TV

In this video you will learn a versatile method for cropping images in Adobe Illustrator CS6 and CS5. Using opacity masks allows you to retain the area of the image you cropped out, modify the clipping path later, and use complex blending modes, transparencies, and knockout groups.
http://adobe.ly/V8tTZD

Firstly great tutorial.
Anyway I initially started a thread in the forums which lead me here regarding the use of opacity masks, I'm having real problems finding a solution to my specific problem.
I've got 2 issues I'm trying to solve, the first is how do I show just a portion an object above another even though it sits in a layer behind.
The second is I have an object with a linear gradient applied and I want to add yet another gradient just to a certain part of that object in order to make it fade out in a certain way.
I've spent hours pouring through the help topics but nothing seems to fit my exact problem, sorry for asking questions here but I'm really stumped and I think an opacity mask would do the trick, I'm just not sure how to execute it.
Thanks heaps.

Why are my cropped images not printing at the size I have cropped them to?!

Hey!
I know how to crop images to specific sizes using either the rectangular marquee or crop tool. However, I am needing to print a number of small images, so want to compile them into one document to save paper. Once the image is cropped, it shows up in 'image size' as being the required size, however, when I copy and paste it into another document in an attempt to arrange it on a page with other cropped images, the images come out at about half the specified size when I print them.
Is it to do with the view I am using, because it doesn't seem to matter whether I set it to 'print size' or 'actual pixels'?
I can't seem to find an answer to this, and I'm sure that I didn't have a problem with this when I was using photoshop more regularly a few years ago!

Hello,
You need to ake sure the target document and the source documents have the same"resolution", in other words the same PPI.
You could also use the Edit>Place command, which will respect the print dimensions of the source photo, but import it as a Smart Object.

Can't apply Graduated Filter and Radial Filter in LR5 (photo becomes grey box)

Hi,
I am using the Lightroom 5, every functions are working fine, except the Graduated Filter and Radial Filter casuing me a problem.
When I click on the Graduated Filter / Radial Filter button, and trying to apply the filter (i.e. draw the eclipse) on my photo, my photo in the central pane immediately turns grey, as per below screenshot.
I have to click the Library Module and then click Develop Module in order to get back the photo showing in the central pane, but the same problem appears if I tried to use the Graduated and Radial Filters.
Anybody knows the root cause and solution ? Please kindly help. Thank you !

The easiest thing should be to simply apply the preset to an image, then choose to Update with Current Settings and make sure Graduated Filter is unchecked. Move through all of your presets like this.
I don't know how many suspect presets you have to go through, but you can also manually edit them with a simple text editor to remove the Graduated filter. If you right-click on the preset, you can show in Explorer/Finder. Open the file in Notepad/TextEdit and simply remove the GradientBasedCorrections section (this has many sub-fields, most of which start with "Local"). Save the file and move on to the next.

How to apply lens correction profile to multiple images at once?

I have a quick newbie question and I couldn't find an answer in a brief search that I did. Is it possible to apply lens correction profile automatically to multiple images at once? For my RAW images, LR automatically detects the lens and applies the correction profile for an image if I manually click on "Enable lens correction" option under Develop module (in the right pane where adjustments are made). However, I would like to do this to multiple images all at once.
Thanks,
Osho

Be careful using develop setting synchronization for lens profile across mutiple images! This allows applying an incorrect profile (i.e. Canon 17-40mm profile with synchronization to images shot with multiple lenses) First use the 'filter' tool to make sure you select images shot with only one (1) lens type. Then follow one of the procedures here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WS0E6E6886-E223-4050-B6E0-A97B5B62EF7D.htm l
You can also change the "default" develop settings with 'Lens Profile' option checked and then save as the "new default" setting. LR will then "automatically" apply lens profile correction on import of new images.

Re-size Layer with Smart Filter without affecting Smart Filter aspect of the layer

I made a wax seal on photoshop with a lot of embossment, bevelment and a Smart Filter. It's done and I just need to make it smaller so it fits well on my certificate. When I resize it (Ctr + T) It pops up a messgae that reads:
Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended
"Smart Filters applied to layers contained in this group will be turned off temprarily while the transform is being previewed. They will be applied after commiting the transform."
OK
[] Don't show again
I click OK and I re-size the layer with free transform, and then hit enter. The Layer is resized but my Smart Filter which cretaes a wavy affect around the seal is totally distorted.
How do re-size my layer with smart filter without affecting the smart filter aspect of the layer

Right-click on the name of the Smart Object layer in the Layers panel to get the menu shown below. Pick "Convert to Smart Object" to encapsulate the SO and its Smart Filter and Layer Styles inside a new SO which can be resized without changes in appearance.
