  • Text  bevel and emboss?  HELPPPPPP!

    Hi there everyone...
    I have a photo of a clock ...
    http://s409.photobucket.com/albums/pp175/Studentiermegs/?action=view&current=DSC_0679.jpg
    and what I want to do is put some text onto the face, so it looks as though it is part of the clock... so like if I took a tool and carved into the back of the face and whatever I had carved appeared raised on the front. Hope that makes sence!
    Have tried bevel and emboss and pattern maker to try and get the surface of the clock, but looks terrible so I must be doing something wrong, if I have the right idea at all!
    Help!
    Thanks

    In your case the perspective will kill you. More or less I think you are not looking for a straightforward bevel and emboss at all, but rather a way to create the illusion of the stamped faces catching light. Even if you flatten bevel&emboss before transforming it, it will look goofy. Therefore I would recommend to create this in multiple layers. I suppose you should only create the shadowed areas using bevel&emboss on a white layer, then transform that and use multiply blendmode. Likewise, for the base you'd only use a slightly tinted version and use a blendmode. After that, I'd use Find Edges on a duplicate, remove all unwanted lines, blur it and place it on top to create the soft curvature you have on embossed plates. Might take some experimentation, but certainly will ook more "real" than a layer style only.

  • I reinstalled my mac os x, and anytime i try to update my software its asking me for an administrators name and password, i enter it and it comes back wrong, and that is the only one i have, i have been to keychain but it does not make any sense to me,

    i have just reinstalled my mac os x, in fact yesterday, i have not been able to update my software or change anything at all, i try to do a software update and it is asking me for an administrators username and password that was not happening before, i enter the username and password i created and it comes back wrong, its driving me nuts, been to keychain but unable to figure it out, its asking for a system unlock and i have no clue what that is.
    am desperate.

    Stick the 10.6 disk into the computer and reboot holding the c or option key down, select the disk to boot from.
    In the installer menu is a Utiltiies menu and a password reset.
    If you don't remmember the name, reboot the computer holding the command and s keys down
    a black screen with white type appears, when it's finished, dbackspace any extra ssss you have made and then type
    ls /Users
    (that's Larry, Sam, space, slash, Users)
    and press return, a list of user names on the machine appears
    type exit and reboot and use the 10.6 disk to reset your password

  • Convert Bevel and Emboss Effect into Separate Layers

    I was following a tutorial for making paint drips at http://www.planetphotoshop.com/dripping-color.html.
    I am not sure which version of Photoshop was being used in the video. Maybe CS3 or 4? It looks like the video was created in 2008? Towards the end of tutorial (about the last 1/4), he converts the Bevel and Emboss effect into separate layers in order to delete the effect from the top and sides of the image. I can't seem to locate the "Create Layers" option when I control+mouse click on the layer. Is the "Create Layers" listed some place else or is there another way to remove the Bevel and Emboss effects from the top and sides only?

  • Bevel and Embossed text

    Hey guys...just wondering if anyone has a nice way of re-creating a Photoshop Bevel and Emboss effect for the text in Motion 3. I get a similar effect using the INDENT filter, but it's just not the same. Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    welcome to the posts. NIce alias name, classy!
    I had to look over the project again and it took me some time to sort it out. I made it in M2 and i think M3 does something funky.
    The layer with the little t is the text layer. Should have called it something else like "indented text" to make it clearer I guess. In answer to your question the text layers blend mode is set to stencil luma which make it act like a stencil, and therefore shows the paper layer below. Then there is another paper layer below that to give the background. If you didnt do the stenciled paper layer it would look like some coloured text indented into the paper, which wasnt the original brief.
    The spotlight is an M2 construct. Now of course we have lights in M3 so it becomes a bit easier.
    Just a point to clarify. 'parenting' is really an AfterEffects idea, something that Motion doesnt do. instead you have to put things in groups, a bit like comping in AE, but more flexible.

  • Photoshop text + bevel and emboss on TRANSPARENT background?

    I've created my Photoshop title images with text + bevel and emboss, on a transparent background.
    I've Rasterized the type and I've merged down leaving the transparent background (not flattened) then saved as .psd or .tif (with layers).
    When I import into FCP I either get the text WITH bevel and emboss, on a WHITE background or text WITHOUT bevel and emboss, on a TRANSPARENT background.
    Strange thing is, I've imported Photoshop images with transparent backgrounds into FCP several times before and although I can't say I've never had problems, I've always managed to work it out quite easily. Not this time, I'm baffled and seriously considering getting cross!

    Hello,
    I have tried the Ken Stone method (thank God for that guy...) but I am loosing my drop shadow and bevel effects on the text once the file is imported in FCP.. I used the NTSC preset with Transparent background in Photoshop. What am I missing? I have looked around in this forum and can't find a clear answer!!
    Any thoughts??

  • Bevel and emboss

    so, after much research, i finally found out that you cannot create a bevel and emboss look like in photoshop. so i have created a very 'flat' looking logo in ai, but i want to add bevel and emboss layer effects. how does everyone else do this? i need the effects and the flexibility of a vector graphic. also, i have different layers in my ai file, and i need them to remain as layers when i open in photoshop.

    nope, not even close to what i can achieve in ps. i've accepted the fact that there is no way to replicate the ps bevel and emboss in ai. that's fine with me. i just want to know what other graphic designers to do work around it. i can't imagine rasterizing the file at different sizes, then applying the effects in ps. or do you rasterize the file at a huge size then apply the effects in ps, then scale it down if need-be? either way, it sounds very 'clumsy.'

  • "bevel and emboss" in AI?

    hi,
    i have a logo:
    http://wtf2.myfonts.com/uploads/images/81/8125584acfd1f91a596bb5c0b19daf09.98563.jpeg
    abd have the permission to use it, but they dont have an vector format of it :S
    so i'm trying it at my self...
    i have the right font, and used the "bevel and emboss" in pgotoshop. its nearly what i need, only other colors, and the horizontal parts had to keep going straight, now the vertical line "breaks" it:
    http://www.volgensbartjes.nl/musketiersPS.jpg
    but the fact is, that i actualy want to make him in illustrator, but i cant find he right tools there. i have tryed:
    http://www.volgensbartjes.nl/musketiersAI.jpg , but a you see, he makes the right part of each sword part of the R well, but he makes the left part of each zword part bigger :S
    does anyone haveing a good idea how i could make this in illustrator, like how he is in photoshop, but than with the good horizontal parts, like the original?
    thanks...
    Bart
    ps, this is not commercial, its for a amature musical group...
    ps, if you speak dutch, please answer in dutch, thats easyer for me ;)

    no, i post this in illustrator becouse i realy wanna do it in illustrator, i need to be able to move points later, so i can make parts longer as in the original is, and i also want to use the "sword font" later in other thingd, zo if its not a vector than anymore, i can never change anything anymore as its in photoshop....
    i have also tryed to cut one part of the R, and give it the fiter as shown in the 3rd picture, but it keeps making strange things outside the part, while ive choosen for inside....
    so if anyone knows an solution for illustrator? i really wanna know ;)

  • Why do my breadcrumb links come out wrong?

    I'm using the snipet function under the window tab in CS6 for breadcrumb links.  I'm following directions, and including the correct link and text in the correct order.  For some reason, the order comes out wrong.  The two >> first, then the text for the current page (which is not a link), then the second link, followed by the first link.  I tried to see if the formatting of the hyperlinks was affecting this, but it does not appear so.
    I tried writing the code without using the snipet function, and this exact same result still happens.
    Please advise with any help if you can.
    Thanks!

    Hello John,
    because of your "I tried writing the code ..." I recommend that you have a look at http://kaosweaver.com/extensions/details/Breadcrumbs.

  • Bevel and emboss like Photoshop

    Is there any easy way to get something like the 'bevel and emboss' effect in Photoshop? Short of bringing the paths into Photoshop and applying it there, of course...
    I was toying a little bit with doing something like that using the drop shadow effect, but the shadow has to come on the inside... Any tips?
    I would prefer to have it as a live effect - I have done it manually with vectors by duplicating/offsetting/trimming, but it is a fair bit of work...

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    Please Adobe, can't we have this as a raster effect in the next version of Illy!
    Please, NO.
    Provide ordinary, tidy, efficient 2D-based bevel and extrude VECTOR path operations. Long overdue.

  • Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop?

    Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop? It pops up every single day.

    Erica,
         I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
         I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it.  His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
         It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
         Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987. 
         I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
       For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
         Best.

    System Language is English but all documents and reports come out in French. How do I get the system to switch all of the documents and reports to print in the English layouts?
    thx, Richard.

    Richard,
    Probably this is due to what Dan has pointed out.
    You can open the PLD template and go to Print Layout Design menu on the Top and click Display document properties.  Check the language properties.
