Can you do a Mesh in Photoshop like in Illustrator?

I would like to do an amorphous blend of colors on a background the way you can do with a mesh grid in Illustrator.
Does Photoshop have that ability?
If so what is it called and how do you do it?

The gradient mesh always seemed like such a an unwieldy way to mimic what is easily accomplished in photoshop by simply brushing in your colours. Use a soft brush, pick your colour and brush in your shape. Or draw a shape with a feathered lasso selection or pen path converted to a feathered selection and fill. If you want to easily change the colour of the feathered shape, draw it on it's own layer, then you can apply colour adjustments to it with a hue/saturation slider.
You could draw your shapes with a hard brush on a separate layer, convert it to smart object, apply a smart filter blur to it that you can readjust the feathering to your heart's content, apply colour adjustments to it to your heart's content, change blend modes of your coloured shapes, etc. All so much easier and more editable than a gradient mesh.

    Why can you flip an image in Photoshop, but not Cmera RAW, or can you?  (CS5)

    Doesn't look like you can. I'm just a user, so I don't know why. It can be done in Lightroom if that's any consolation.

  • Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?

    Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?   In particular a .8BF plugin like PTFilters.8BF  or Super Cubic.

    If you also have a Photoshop version of the Photoshop application, the answer is of course YES.
    Otherwise, the answer is no,
    If you have the CC subscription, then of course you can install a Photoshop Windows version and run your plug-in.  That'll be separate from your Photoshop Mac install..

  • Can you create cd sleeves in Photoshop Elements please?

    Hi,
    Can you create cd sleeves in Photoshop Elements please?
    Or is there a software that can create cd sleeves, using a template perhaps?
    I can print my own cd inserts (jewel box) but want to create a card cd sleeve.
    Many thanks,
    Ric

    Thanks all - this has been a real eye-opener. There are companies out there who will design & print cd sleeves for you so the tech is obviously there somewhere, but apparently not for home users.
    Never mind.
    In Adobe Elements 8 I can crop or size my own art work how I want it then set the Win7 default printer programme to print say 4 identical images to A4 which when divided up will fit a typical cd sleeve. If i pop adhesive paper into the inkjet i can then stick my cd art work onto the card sleeves. I will buy these but you could make them. So there is a way round this one, it just takes a bit of head scratching?

  • Can you access the Time Capsule just like a normal HD?

    I'm wondering if the Time Capsule can only be used for backup or can you partition it and use it like regular external hard drive?

    I don't use TM on my TC. I use TC as my net server. I use the Finder to drag and drop files to the TC. I also use TC to share files long distance with my children who are away.
    I since removed the 500 gig hd and placed a 250 gig in the TC.
    I've swapped a one terabyte hard drive into the TC also which was very quick and simple.
    You are not going to partition a TC hard drive unless you pull it and partition the hard drive say in a firewire or usb enclosure or internal in a MacPro.

  • Can you record a phone call? Like if someone is calling me?

    Can you record a phone call? Like if someone is calling me?

    No. Apps will not have access to the functions necessary to do this either. The jigsaw puzzle of laws surrounding the recording of phone calls probably has a lot to do with it.
    Check out Google Voice. You can set up a google voice number and have it forwarded to your phone. You can record incoming calls through Google voice with a keypress. It announces that the call is being recorded. This is required by law in most of the US.

  • How can you record stream from a webcam like YouTube does it

    We need to create a webcam stream recorder with FMS which should be able to record stream in some predefined quality (128000/bandwidth,95/quality) and will work also in the situation when the user doesn't have enough bandwidth to transfer this stream in realtime.  YouTube has a solution which is using something like a buffer and when the user stops recording they continue to send video data to the server until the stream is completely recorded.  We are recording the stream from our user's webcam, but when the bandwidth is not consistent or not enough, we are losing video data and ending up with poor quality recordings. What we need is that the record stream is buffered on the user's computer and the video data continues to be sent to our server even after the user has finished recording so that we end up with the complete stream (video data). We need some idea how to do this - which specific features should we used for this solution?

    Does it have to be a live solution? Or can you have the user record locally and then upload to your FMS server?

  • Can you export a SWF in photoshop CS5 or CS6?

    I have a client that has provided me SWF files that swear were exported from Photoshop, I know that this could be done in earlier versions. if so then how can this be done in CS5 or CS6. I have access to both.

    To my knowledge, the ability to export as .swf was removed after CS3. Do you know what version of Photoshop your client was using?

  • Can you invert a mask in photoshop elements 12?  if not, is there a "walk around" that would achieve the same result?

    I am taking a class about using textures...most folks are using photoshop....I don't want to tackle that and try to learn about textures..
    can you invert a mask in Elements 12...or is there another way to achieve the same result?
    thanks

    thanks..
    I am having trouble with the keyboard " If you’ve already added the mask, you can invert it by typing command/control + i while the mask is active for editing. "
    so maybe I will try again...would love to get it working!
    many thanks for your prompt reply

  • Can you add a function sort of like spam, but for websites. So I can put website to spam bucket

    Can you add a totally new functionality, which would be similar to email spam.
    If I get to a website I don't ever want to see in any of my searches or anything I would just click WEBSPAM button and the site is gone from my web viewing experience.
    It is sort of an opposite of favorites or bookmarks. Negative bookmarks could be a good concept name.
    So again, the negative bookmark site would not show in any of my searches. The idea is to make this simple.
    A one click solution.

    You can make suggestions for new features here:

  • How can you create a swatch from a jpeg in Illustrator CS4?

    I am trying to create a jpeg image into a swatch in Illustrator CS4. In previous versions you could simply drag the image into the swatches toolbar and it would convert it automatically. Now when I do that nothing happens. When I click on new swatch it creates a colour swatch instead of the actual image itself.

    When you say you would drag the image itself into the Swatch Palette and it would show the image itself? How would then use this swatch? Can you give an example of what you would apply a jpeg to as a swatch? The only palette that I can think of off the top of my head that you can drag a jpeg into and have the icon appear as the jpeg is the Symbols Palette. Is is possible that you were using the Symbols Palette in the past and not the Swatch Palette?
