Create an exploded graphic in Photoshop CS4?

Hi,
I am a new photoshop user...  I have a small image that I'd like to add a "tail" to and then add on to another graphic.  The smaller graphic is actually a screenshot of a section of the larger image.  My goal is make it into an exploded view of the larger..  Currently I've added a shawdow to it.  Is their an easy way to dress up the smaller image in Photoshop or should I stick with simple effect, such as a shadow?

Actually, I should probably have described my ask, as creating a magnified view...
I found a procedure on how to do this in Photoshop and used... And have ultimately decided that I am getting better results in using a combo of PowerPoint and Snagit...
Thanks for responding!

  • Creating a transparent GIF in Photoshop CS4

    I am new to Photoshop CS4 and I'm finding it a bit of a 'challenge'.
    I would like to create a transparent GIF of my signature, so that I can put it into various documents.
    My signature is on a white background and is written using a blue ball point pen and is scanned in as a colored GIF file.
    Despite having Googled how to do that I am completely stumped.  They talk about using the lasso tool to draw around my signature (which I do) and then they say press the delete key.  Well, on my iMac NOTHING happens!
    Can anyone offer me a simple tutorial (for the Mac) that can walk me through creating a transparent GIF file of my signature?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Load luminance or the channel with the best contrast by command-clicking the appropriate channel in the Channels Panel
    It seems hard to make it more clear …
    Command-click (hold the command-key pressed while clicking) the composite Channel’s icon (or any of the other channels’ if you should deem them preferable) in the Channels Panel.
    This should load a Selection.
    I would like to create a transparent GIF of my signature, so that I can put it into various documents.
    Where do you want to do that anyway (Photoshop, some layout-software, a browser …)?
    Because depending on that using a file-format of fairly limited features like gif could seem inadvisable.
    the problem I have with Photoshop CS4 is that when I enter the help system it goes to the web and give me help for Photoshop CS5!!!!
    You should be able to download the Help as a pdf here:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408379.html
    If psd doen’t mean anything to you you should look it up.

  • Question about creating a link in a photoshop cs4 banner

    Does anyone know the answer to this question??:
    Does anyone know how to make a link clickable in photoshop cs4, say in a banner created in photoshop cs4, like a link to a website or an E-mail, without doing image map, but directly inside of photoshop cs4?? I need to know this ASAP!
    Thank you,
    Jon

    HI Trevor.Dennis:
    Question 1. Do you mean opening an image that I saved in Adobe Photoshop
    CS4 to a folder on my computer?? Because I tried that and it wouldn't let
    me do that.
    Question 2. OR, since I cannot do that, how do I move an image from a
    folder on my computer to InDesign??
    Question 3. And then once in InDesign, how do I make links clickable??
    Question 4. I'm enclosing a banner I made in Photoshop CS4 this afternoon,
    and want to know how I can make
    the Website: http://promoterpower.com and Email:
    [email protected] in InDesign??
    Let me know ASAP!!!

  • Creating a multipage pdf in photoshop CS4

    I've just upgraded from CS1 to CS4, and previously you could create a multipage PDF easily under the File>Automate menu. So how do you do that in CS4? The feature has been moved somewhere. I dont want two seperate A4's I want to learn how to create one document consisting of 2 pages.
    Thanks
    AC

    I most certainly would like to see the output to multi-page pdf feature re-included back into the file menu. For generic brochure type jobs, through to concept art presentations, and (Game) design documents, I really appreciated having that feature. It worked. Smooth.
    Bridge on the other hand, is shovelware. It lasts 3-4 seconds before locking up indefinately, and its a product of Adobe's ability to make fancy applications that dont really do anything useful, its NOT my workflow, and nor do I want it to be. I don't see the point in starting up another application, to do something that was always done well, from 2 maybe 3 clicks in the file menu.
    I really dont expect to swallow the cost of upgrades to find that I've had essential tools removed, and substituted for the joke that is "Bridge".
    Isn't this obvious? If its not broken don't fix it.

  • Why doesn't Photoshop CS4 open DNG files created in Photoshop CS5?

    I download raw photo files from my Leica Dlux 4 and convert the Leica raw files to DNG files using CS5 Bridge.  Recently I discovered that when I try to access these DNG files in Photoshop CS4 I get a message saying 'cannot access this file'.  The files also do not show up as thumbnails in CS4 Bridge.  Do I need an upgrade or a plug in to see DNG files created in CS5 Bridge in Photoshop CS4?

    System: Windows 7
    Third party plug-ins: Not to my knowledge?
    Quicktime: I believe so.
    Save Method: I save as two copies, one in the default Photoshop format (PSD) and then I hit "save as" to save as PNG.

  • Create Photoshop CS4 graphics for FCP 7 use-- confusion

    Still confused about creating graphics in Photoshop for import to FCP.
    Been reading up on the fcp7 and cs4 changes regarding this.
    Back in the day, one made larger PS files( 720x540) and scaled them down in Photoshop
    to 720x480 BEFORE importing to FCP to use in a DV -NTSC sequence.
    But with cs3/cs4 film/video new file template presets, do we still need to do this resizing/ change of pixel aspect ratio in PS?
    Also, now with the PAR change from Adobe in cs4 and FCP adjusting their PAR,
    do we need to change PARS in photoshop anymore, or on older (cs3) ps files?
    Chris Meyer wrote a recent article titled "PAR for the Course" at
    http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/cmgkeyframes/story/par_for_thecourse/P2/
    which mentions creating PS files at a totally different size:
    " ...the preferred solution - create a Production Aperture square pixel image of
    720x534 (the new square pixel preset in CS4 - not 720x540). "
    So00 does this mean ignore the photoshop template preset sizes and make 720x5334 masters to squeeze down pre fcp import?
    It would be great to get this straightened out--
    as you know, there is a lot of conflicting info out there!
    Thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to share.

    Thanks for posting the information.

  • Unable to open or create files in photoshop CS4

    Suddenly my Photoshop CS4 has stopped working. I can open the program, but are not able to either open files (jpg, psd, tif ++) or create new files. No error message, it just doesn't happen anything. The program doesn't stop working either, I can still browse all menues or try to open the file again, but nothing happens, it's just like the functions doesn't work. Sometimes I''m able to open a file, by browsing my computer and choose "open in photoshop cs4". Then the file opens in Photoshop, but I'm not able to do anything. No menues or actions are working. I'm running 64bit Windows 7 on a Lenovo T420s laptop.
    I'm running photoshop version 11.0.2
    I have tried to reset the preferences, tried to reinstall Photoshop, tried other versions (CS5) and even tried to reinstall my computer. Doesn't help, the program is still not working.
    What can cause this?

    I am not sure why some computer mfgrs. are going to the dual video chip setup, but it does seem popular.
    As you found out, the use of the Intel chip can be problematic. We see this a lot in the Adobe Premiere (video editing program) Forums, and it has become a real sore spot.
    One of the major weaknesses is that while Intel makes great chips, they have historically had abysmal driver support. Some computer mfgrs. to re-write the Intel drivers, and that can help - but it can also hurt, depending on the regularity, that they issue new drivers. Even a simple OS update/hot-fix can render a video driver obsolete. That is one reason that ATI/AMD and nVidia issue drivers with such regularity (usually about 1/mo.).
    Good luck, and wish that I had some "fix" for you. With some computers, users HAVE been able to disable the Intel graphics chip, but it does not sound like that will be the case with your computer. Have you looked at setting the video chip in the BIOS w/ SETUP?

  • Photoshop CS4  shuts down only when creating new project.

    I've had CS4 web premium since nov. 08 and everything worked fine until the most recent update from adobe.
    I ONLY have this problem with Photoshop cs4: when creating a new project after selecting the aspects (name, width, hight, etc.) when you press ok it shuts down and no error is given as to why it shut down, it just does.
    opening documents that had been created prior to the last update isn't a problem, I'm able to do everything Photoshop cs4 has to offer.
    I can also open a file started in another program and edit them in PS CS4 (ie: fireworks , or AI).
    but for some reason if I want to start a project in photoshop it just shuts down, never used to happen. any clues? any one else have a similar problem and know how to fix this?
    running on windows XP

    I think you mean a new docuement - Photoshop doesn't have "projects".
    Photoshop shouldn't "shut down" - there should be some message about a crash.
    And the most likely causes at that point are OpenGL (try turning it off in prefs) and your default printer driver (try changing default printers).

  • I have created a folder that I can now Save to and view in Photoshop (CS4) but cannot find in spotlight or any other way on my mac. PLEASE HELP!!

    I use Photoshop CS4, I do not think this problem is related to PS... I am not exactly sure what happened. I created a folder on desktop, think I changed name of it. Now it is not on desktop. I know the exact name of the folder and have tried doing a spotlight search and cannot locate it AS WELL as searching for a file by name EXACT as name is. However if I go into Photoshop I can open or "save as" and open the folder and save as a "recent location" and the folder and its contents are found no problem... however cannot see the pathway to know where the folder is located on my mac.. PLEASE HELP!!! Been using photoshop and my mac for MANY years and NEVER had a problem like this... I have a photo client awaiting their pictures to be burned on a cd and mailed to them!!
    THANK YOU!!
    Laurie

    Try this. Open one of your files. The window that contains your picture is named at the top. Command click on the name and you'll see the entire path starting with its name and then moving to the folder, the folder it is contained in, etc all the way to down to the hard drive volume name. This should tell you where to find the folder.

  • Adobe photoshop cs4 graphics card acceleration help!

    Need a little help,
    everytime i start cs4, it says "adobe photoshop cs4 now includes graphics card acceleration.  we recomend you vist your video card manufacturers website and download and install latest drives.
    I am running vista 64 bit and a ati radeon hd 4800 series card "4870 to be exact" and under properties it is 8.612.0.0, but when i follow the adobe link and it brings me to the site it has version 9.5??  i clicked update driver and it says its upto date, is this a problem, and why does it show this everytime photoshop starts?
    thanks

    Go to this site and download the 9.9 driver set. The 9.5 driver set had a streaming problem that had to be fixed with a hotfix. I have the 4870 also and the 9.9 drivers are stable and have no issues with PS CS4 on vista 64 bit.
    http://www.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx
    Sometimes it is better not to change drivers if you don't have issues. But the 9.5 set has issues.
    Make sure you un-install the old drivers. When you click on the Icon and start the install it will unpack as normal but you will come upon a screen to install or uninstall. Choose uninstall to remove the old driver package. Reboot. Then click on the icon again, it will unpack and you will get the screen again so choose install. Reboot after install.
    If I remember correctly the 9.5 drivers, after install, did not show the reboot screen. You still have to reboot.

  • Photoshop CS4 crashing whenever I try to open or create a document

    I have had photoshop cs4 for well over a year now and it has been working perfectly up until now. Now whenever I try to open or create any type of image, a window appears saying "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working, windows is searching for a solution." Then photoshop just closes with no error message or anything.
    I have deleted my preferences, changed my default printer, and reinstalled multiple times but nothing seems to make any difference.
    Can someone please help me???

    Some thoughts:
    You have filled your HDD's up
    You have made a change, hardware or software, that is getting in the way - a System Restore Point might be helpful here
    You are running low on resources. Though written for video-editing (more intense than image editing), this ARTICLE might be useful. Note: many of the newer, real-time anti-virus scanning programs have been known to play badly with PS and with PrPro. Do you have any?

  • Adobe Pixelbender / Photoshop CS4 graphics / memory problems

    I have been using my 4 year old MacBook Pro for rendering images (using the GPU) with a special pixelbenderscript and stitching these images together with photoshop CS4.
    With mybrand new MacBook Pro, suddenly I get erratic behaviour when rendering the images, the whole screen gets covered with a mix of the image and parts of the desktop/application.
    The next problem is the stiching of the images in PS CS4, where I get a "out of RAM" message where my old MacBook Pro did the work just fine (and I have 4GB RAM now, before only 3).
    Is this a known issue? Any solution?
    Regards

  • Photoshop CS4 Extended Graphics Error

    Hello Everyone
    I just recently upgraded to CS4 Master Collection in hopes of using it with my web design job I was hired for. Whenever I go into Photoshop CS4 Extended and I try to "Free Transform" something (an image, a shape, etc) and either the canvas goes black and doesn't respond for awhile, or it has these purple shapes that show up on a black background and they are pixelated. I do apologize if I am not describing this very well. You can see what I am talking about here on this link where I took a screenshot and posted it.

    this fixed the program error for me, at least for the time being. i do use the opengl drawing thing quite a bit though, i hope they fix this. i also hope its not my machine (1 year old macbook pro). i also speeded things up on my machine by having a separate scratch disk that i plug in (a firewire 800 drive) which i thought was the program error problem at first. some of the files that were not able to open i was able to initially open by duplicating them and then opening them. but not today--i haven't been able to open anything until i turned off the opengl drawing preference. good luck whoever you are! i know how frustrating this is--believe me, i almost slammed my computer on the ground today when it wouldn't open my files!
    note that overall the opengl feature, i feel, is pretty rad though--i love being able to draw and rotate the entire canvas to match the orientation of my drawing capabilities!

  • Creating .swf's in Photoshop CS4?

    I have PS CS4, I found a tutorial for PS CS2 (Creative COW) that said you could export animations created in Photoshop as .swf's using Imageready through Photoshop. But I can't seem to find a similar tutorial, or anything, to export Flash files from Photoshop CS4?! Is it possible. I would really like to create my animated buttons for my Nav Bar with PS.
    I guess I could fumble around in Flash, but I Iike the animation window in PS CS4, it's very similar to AfterEffects, which I love to use. Flash seems so clunky and you have to type in code and all that. Anyone have any tips?
    Thanks all,
    Aza

    No, to my knowledge PS does not spit out any form of Flash animation. If it would, it would be just rasterized image sequences such as you can create from within After Effects when you directly export an SWF. Still, speaking of that, since you have AE, why not do the animation there, combined with flash? Check out the requirements and workflow for exporting XFL files from AE, and you're already much closer...
