Can I easily make a hand drawn picture look computer drawn?

Hi there
Searching around for an answer, all I found was turning photo into hand drawn looking pic.
Basically, I have a hand drawn picture of a train conductor I want to convert to make it look like it was drawn in photoshop. I have it for a banner for a site, but it looks severely out of place being hand drawn.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

There is a lot of ways you can pull this off but it comes down to playing with filters and effects, tweeking color tones and what not. It comes down playing around with it. Make several copies of the same image in layers. tweek em with different filters and effects. sometimes you will find the combo of blending multiple layers to be the look you want.
Is there a make it look hand drawn button? some of the filters will emulate brush strokes and what not but it comes down to how hand drawn you really want it to look.
My suggestions to play with filters layers and blending options till you find something that yells out to you.

How can I easily make a screen shot of a polar graph?

Hi everyone,
I am using the very simple VI I have attached to display points (up to 50000 points) on a polar graph. When the screen moves over to the area where there is the graph, the big number of dots included in the graph makes everything become very very slow. I would like to know if there is an easy way to make a print screen of the graph so that I initialize back the graph to no points (or make it invisible) and just display the print screen shot of the graph.
I have already used the print screen function (+ cutting off the parts of the picture I don’t want) but this is a bit fastidious to do. Would an already made print screen function exist for this kind of graph?
Thanks a lot,
User

How can I easily make beats and record my raps on the beats?

I am really intrested in making beats on GarageBand and then rapping on those beats. I am a very avid and quick learner and know that once I can get the hang of this my music career and really take off and go somewhere. If there is anyone out there who can help me and would like to assit me, we could make magic and let dreams come true and do big things in life. If you can help please let me know!

the "easy" way is to open the loop browser, audition various drum loops by clicking on them, picking which you like and dragging them into the timeline
a slightly less easy way would be to create a software track, pick a drum instrument you like, open the musical typing window, hit record and record your rhythm
the least easy way would be to place each note (drum beat) you want into a region:

Can anyone explain to me why my picture looks like this?

Okay, I'm new to this forum so I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting a link to another forum. The reason I'm doing this is so that I don't have to keep covering the same questions over and over again. In this previous forum I have already answered probably most of the questions you might ask, plus I have posted a picture of what my computer is doing to some of my pictures and I've posted a link to a RAW file where so far no one else has been able to duplicate the problem. Last week I downloaded the latest update to CS6 and since then I'm having this problem which is why I don't believe this is an issue with my CF card, camera, cable, or card reader. Again, if I'm violating proper forum etiquette I'm sorry, I just didn't want to have to keep repeating myself. Thanks for any help and advice you guys can give me. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1276253

Hi folks - I am a member of the Canon "Photography On The Net" (POTN) forum where the OP has asked the same question and to which she attempted to link in this forum. The problem she appears to be having is that when she opens and edits 5DII raw files and saves them in PSCS6 as JPEGs the JPEGs end up with the appearance typically seen with a corrupt raw file (like one in which a read or write problem has occurred with a card reader). The strange thing is, the raw file itself can be opened within ACR and brouhgt into PSCS6. There appears to be some issue, according to the OP, with a particular threshold of JPEG compression that may be resulting in the bad JPEG file's appearance. She is trying to find out if anyone is having similar issues with their most recent update to PSCS6 possibly causing similar problems.
The workflow, as much as I have been able to gather, is that the OP does not have a CF card reader, so she downloads the raw files via USB. Although she has not stated explcitly how she does it, she then converts the raw files to DNG. Each DNG is opened in ACR via mini-bridge and then brought into PS for editing. Once the edits are performed, the file is saved as a JPEG. For purposes of her print work, she decided that saving at max JPEG quality 12 was imperative.
Initially, turning down the quality to <10 cleared up the issue, but then some images that were converted to black and white (although I do not know if the files themselves were still RGB or grayscale) and saved at quality level 8-9 caused the same saved JPEG appearance, as one would tpyically see in a corrupt raw file. Although the black and white versus color thing may be a red herrring, the sporadic issue apparently persists under certain circumstances that may or may not be niformly reprodicible.
So, the bottom line is that the OP is trying to find out where in the workflow chain this error might be occurring and how to fix it. I also tried breaking the raw file linked above via yousendit and had no problems saving it to sRGB, aRGB, grayscale, using both Save As... and Save for Web in CS6 with no problems. I tried all of these variations at both JPEG 12 and JPEG 8-9.
Apparently the computer and install of CS6 is new as of late last year. I do not know the OS, but it is a Windows machine. All of the "testing" I did was on a Mac.
My guess is that the OP is trying to find out if anyone in the Adboe forum community has heard of similar issues, especially after the latest update to PSCS6, as this problem has just started to occur and the recent upate is the most obvious thing, timing wise, that would coincide with the issue's appearance. It could also be a corrupt hard disk, or computer-related issue, but I am not a Windows user so I will defer in that regard.
I'll also take this opportunity to introduce myself to the Adobe forum - hello everyone! Post number one complete.
Hope this helps.

Here is an example of one of the saved-from-within-PSCS6 JPEG files with the issue, posted by the OP in the thread on the other forum - I ahve reposted it here with assumed permission from the OP - if this presents a problem (forum rules, etc.) please notify me and I will remove it. Frankly, I don't think it would be objectionable to the OP and will hopefully serve to clarify the issue furhter.

How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name, and no trash can icon appears below most of the pictures the computer just put on my new iPhone 4.

How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone 4? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name when I press "Edit," and no trash can icon for me to click appears below most of the individual photos in the albums the computer just loaded on my new iPhone 4. When I synced the new phone the computer added these photo albums without permission from me. They are now taking up about 3 GB of memory on my phone. I would like very much to get rid of these photos from the phone. How do I do this?

To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

Can Keynote animate hand-drawn tablet sketches?

Hello,
I was wondering if it was possibly to hook up a Wacom tablet and draw my slides in Keynote. I want to present slides with hand-drawn animations and audio in the same manner as Google's Chrome OS video presentations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QRO3gKj3qw
Thanks in advance!
davy

I would agree, that video/animation was probably made with video editing software judging by some of the transitions. Do not dispair, you can get close to this using line drawings. I would use a lot of photoshop, and .png files as well as a lot of the disolve transitions to make things appear and disappear. You can now do some tweening using the magic transition in keynote 9.0. It would be close, would wow the PC crowd, but would not fool the CGI techs. But then how many of those are likely to see your presentation?

Can you please help me by saying me how can i join two different picture to make it as one picture.??

Hi Sir/ Madam,
My name is Rishav and I am facing some problem with my Photoshop CC. Actually I have a question. If you guys could help me out i will be very obliged. The quest in "Can you please help me by saying me how can i join two different picture to make it as one picture.??"

Maybe you should post over at

or start with the "Get Started" section of the Help:

And your question
Can you please help me by saying me how can i join two different picture to make it as one picture.??
does not seem particularly specific – do you want to simply combine two images as they are, do you want to clip elements from the one and insert them into the other, …?
Could you post (lores of) the images and explain what you intend to achieve?

Obviously you can.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library.
NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album. Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes. In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?

Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?

Pictures are held in the iPhone backup. If you backup the old device just prior to the activation of the new one, then restore from that backup, the photos will be there. Music is in iTunes on the computer and when you do the restore, it will download the music from iTunes to the device during the restore. Make sure any music purchased on the iPhone that has not been transfered to iTunes on the computer is done before beginning the restore.

Ai-cs6 How Do I trace a hand drawn sketch to a single line vector outline?

So I am basically a brand new user to ai-cs6 and have been working on a project for a friend. I've drawn up the basic components of the logo she wants, all separate individual pieces. My intention is/was to trace in each piece, and scale, rotate, and clean them up according to how the final piece should look. Where I'm running into trouble is that the sketches are not point perfect, meaning there's some shading in the hand drawns, and the lines are rough in areas. I'm trying to avoid redrawing the pieces because we both are really happy with where they're at. What I'd like to do with ai-cs6 and I'm hoping this community of creative individuals can help is to trace very simply a one line vector of the outline of the image. So instead of creating a piece that has stroke straight from the scanned in artwork, I get a single line, with multiple points, that flows the simple shape of the piece. From there it seems it would be pretty simple to just increase the stroke weight and modify the style of line to make it look how we would like. All I've succesfully been able to do so far, with the help of some videos and google searching, is to get a traced image that's basically an outline of the sketch. This is o.k. except that since the sketch has some rough line sections ai-cs6 is adding either a lot of detail and making it look pretty rough, or it's missing entire sections and leaving them blank. Any insight and help into getting this figured would be great, I'm gonna roll with what image trace is giving me so I can give her an image of the logo today, but hoping that I can clean it up and get closer to a finished product by next week. Thank you very much I'm grateful that there are discussion forums like this out there to help users of all skill level continue flowing and working with these awesome adobe products.

What you're talking about is generically called autotracing in centerline mode. Most autotrace programs can either try to trace all the way around the areas of dark pixels (outline tracing), or try to trace along the middles of areas of dark pixels (centerline tracing).
In Illustrator's autotrace settings, for centerline mode, you turn off the tracing of outlines (fills) and turn on the tracing of centerlines (strokes). That's the basic setting. From there, you try to adjust the various threshold settings to get as close to what you want as you can.
When Illustrator's autotrace feature is set to try to trace centerlines, it also tries to set the vector path stroke weights to approximate the thicknesses of what it interprets as a stroke. So after the autotracing is done, you can expand it and then globally set the stroke weight to a uniform value.
Beyond that, no one can really advise you more specifically without seeing the specific image involved. Every image is different.
Generally speaking, autotracing is crap. It's an amateurish workaround to avoid doing what should really be done: Trace the paths manually with the drawing tools.

Cheap camcorder suggestions / that can be easily uploaded to computer for editing

Hi all,
I am looking for a camcorder for under $150 for my son who likes to make little videos. He wants to be able to upload the video to his computer and edit them. He does have Microsoft movie maker. What would you suggest, the kind that have the USB port or the ones that record on to SD cards? Also what type of file should the recording be in, so you can edit it? Sorry I have no idea about editing features. Any camcorder suggest would be appreciated.

If you are looking for a simple camcorder for fun little videos, and not for professional ones, I would reccomend the Kodak Playsport HD Camcorder. For the price, its is a nice little camcorder that shoots in 1080p and takes 5 MP stills. It connects to your computer via USB, so you can easily transfer the videos and pictures to your computer, and has an expandable memory slot so you can hold more videos and pictures at a time. It's also waterproof up to 10 feet, which is always a fun little feature. Great starter camera for fun videos to share with friends, family, and on the internet.
