Creating reflection in Photoshop

Hi,
Can anyone please explain how to create a reflection in Photoshop like the one at the bottom of this image? Thanks!

Convert the Layers containing the images of the individual elements to Smart Objects, duplicate those and flip them vertically.
Then transform, warp, etc. them as necessary and change the Opacity and/or add a Layer Mask and paint on that as indicated.

Creating stills in photoshop cs2 for 16:9 HDTV

Hi,
I've been reading posts regarding creating stills and still need some clarification. I'm from a print world, so dealing with square pixels vs. non square, hdv, vs dv widescreen is all a bit confusing....
I've been to this link: http://www.fcpbook.com/Photoshop1.html and several others, plus reading the manuals which all have been helpful, but each instance deals with different specs, not necessarily what I've listed below.
First, I am creating the stills for 16:9 viewing on a hidef tv (1080). The FCE HD project is an animated, narrated story with overlays, keyframe motion and some limited effects.
Here are my questions:
1. In creating my original photoshop template: should I use pshop's presets under "new document":
HDV, 1920 x 1080 (with guides) and if yes, what should the aspect ratio be set at? Square or HDV anamorphic? (When I do "HDV anamorphic" I get a squashed look in FCE, with "square" it looks good.)
2. Saving the photoshop file to be imported into FCE, would it be better to save as a jpg, or photoshop or other format? I've been reading differing opinions as to which...
3. Once I create this template (above) can I crop down the still if it doesn't fill the entire photoshop template (I will have some overlays that will not require a full frame in FCE).
4. some images will be enlarged in FCE. Instead of enlarging them in FCE, should I be enlarging them in photoshop? should I be enlarging exponentially, ie doubling the size of my original photoshop template? And if I'm enlarging them less than 150% in FCE, would the image lose it's sharpness at that enlargement?
5. And finally, I've already created some of the stills in photoshop using the photoshop presets for HDV 1920 x 1080, pixel aspect: square and brought them into FCE. Is WYSWYG in the FCE's canvas window what I'll be seeing on my TV monitor (16:9 1080 HDTV). The images are not squashed and look great, but I'm not sure if that's what I'll end up with when I finally view on my tv.
Thanks for any help!

1. If you're working in FCE in a 1920x1080 sequence then that's what you should make in Photoshop, square pixels not HDV.
2. Save as Photoshop, TIFF, or PNG, not JPEG.
3. Yes.
4. Enlarge in Photoshop if they have to be enlarged. You should never double the size of an image. It will quickly start to deteriorate, especially when it's re-compressed. You'll have to live with it not being full size. You should never enlarge an image more than 115%. It will start to soften and make encoding more difficult.
5. No. The Canvas is a lo res representation of the final output. For professional work most editors use an external video monitor to view their material. This can't be done unfortunately in FCE with HD material.

Creating titles in Photoshop

Hello,
There are times I want to create titles in photoshop or fireworks and import into iMovie.
When I do them @ 640x480, they come in all messed up.
They look fine on QT Pro.
What is the best way to do this for iMovieHD 6?
Is there a template that anyone can refer me to?
Thanks, Richard

I guess you get the best quality if you compose the titles in the 720x480 resolution they end up with anyway (you are using NTSC, right?). Then there will ne NO scaling that can distort the image.
So make a 720x480 Photoshop document. You can set Photoshop to use 4320/4739 ~0.912 pixel aspect ratio so you see the correct dimensions.
http://www.iki.fi/znark/video/conversion/
Then the trick: don't import that image to iMovie because it will scale the 720x480 image. Instead, open it in QT Player Pro and export it as a .dv stream. THEN import that .dv to iMovie. Then there should be no scaling.
Also remember that it is surprisingly difficult to do good-looking line-art for video. You have to slightly blur the image if it contains sharp vertical lines. Avoid some colors in NTSC etc. See also:

Creating reflection for core animation layers?

Is there any example in the wild for creating reflections on core animation layers, like Coverflow's for example?
I have a bunch of layers I need to display at different distances from the "surface" and without reflection they just seem skewed instead of floating in 3D..

The buttons are still there, but they don't do what they were made to do. (show layer / hide layer)
What I'm doing is a map, with icons for the hydrants. When you click on the icon of the hydrant, a photo of the hydrant and it's pipes show up on the top right of the map. This is the layer that turns on and off when clicked on the button.
Is there something I can do to keep the layers working?
Thank you for the quick respons. I appreciate it!

Creating reflective chrome effect

Hi,
Does anyone know how to apply a chrome effect (the same as in photoshop) to a layer in after effects? The layer is a png sequence so this might be difficult. I also need this chrome to be reflecting the layers that are in front of it.
any ideas?
thanks,
- lewis

Does anyone know how to apply a chrome effect (the same as in photoshop) to a layer in after effects?
Create a Photoshop document with teh layer style applied, then import it. Once imported, you can copy&paste the layer style to the sequence or replace the source. AE will correctly render the style, it just doesn't allow you to edit its settings.
I also need this chrome to be reflecting the layers that are in front of it.
That might be a bit tricky. A simple way would be to use a duplicate of your 3D comp, reverse the camera angle so it looks into the opposite direction, then use that pre-comp as a conventional 2D layer with Overlay, Multiply or similar blending modes in your main comp on top of the chrome text. Slight blurring might help to sell the illusion and you may need to use a duplicate of your text to act as matte for the pre-comp...

How to Trim Rectangle with text to create reflection?

Hello Everyone,
I am realtively new to Illustrator and I am facing a problem that I am hoping some expert here can resolve. I have some text and I have converted it to outlines. Now I want to create shine on it. I want to fill a rectangle with white color and then clip it with text to give reflection effect but I can't figure out how to do it. I have selected my text and rectangle and tried all options in path finder tool but nothing seems to work. Please guide me how can this be done.
Regards,
Afraz Ali

Afraz Ali,
If you want to have the colour/colours/colour transition of the rectangle where the text is is nothing outside it, in other words colour the text with the colouring of the rectangle, you may:
Use Live Type over the rectangle, select both, and Object>Clipping Mask>Make.
With outlined type, you have to turn the lettershapes into a Compound Shape first.
As you can see, it is simpler to just use Live Type, and it is editable.

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?

Is there a way to create actions in Photoshop Elements 7

Is there a way to create actions in (or for, other than Photoshop, CS3, 4, 5) Photoshop Elements 7?

You can certainly create actions for Elements (just make sure you don't include steps, like a history snapshot, that PSE can't do), but you can't create them IN elements, only in photoshop.

Cannot open file or create image in Photoshop CS5 (12.0.4 x64)

Photoshop starts as normal. When I do File>Open or File>New nothing happens. See demo here http://www.screenr.com/LUkH
I've searched the webs and see many cases of what sounds like a similar issue, but I cannot get any of the suggested fixes to work for me.

What I've tried so far:
I've uninstalled, deleted all AppData and ProgramFiles folders, installed, updated. Still no luck. Version 12.0.4 x64.
I've removed all printers.
I've done the preferences reset trick by holding down CTRL+ALT+SHIFT when launching Photoshop.
I've done the super weird ESC and CTRL+SHIFT+S described in the last link above (sounds like nonsense!).
Photoshop was working fine on this same computer earlier, but one day decided to stop working.
Can't even access the Adobe Chat support for CS5 even though I paid them a lot for this currently 100% useless software.
I'm running Windows 7 X64, fully updated.
Photoshop CS5 (12.0.4 x64). Freshly installed.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Transcript from unhelpful Adobe Support, CS5 is no longer supported. Basically this turned into a hopless a rant on my part...
Tazkir: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Tazkir: Hi magnus.
Magnus Olstad Hansen: Hi. My Photoshop is no longer able to open images or create new images. I've tried everything I can imagine would help at this point, and I really need some advice. I've also asked the community here (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5720427#5720427). Please advice what I can do to be able to use the product I've bought from you?
Tazkir: Please allow me a moment while I look into your account & verify the details.
Tazkir: Could you please provide me the email address registered with Adobe?
Magnus Olstad Hansen: (email)
Tazkir: Thank you for the email address.
Tazkir: Just to confirm you were able to open Photoshop before.
Magnus Olstad Hansen: That is correct. It's been working before, on the same computer.
Tazkir: I am sorry to inform you that I could have really helped you . But this issue is not under our support area. I am sorry to inform you that the concerned team will be available after .I request you to please contact us back via same live chat after .so that your issue will be handled and resolved by the concerned team.
Tazkir: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Magnus Olstad Hansen: after ... when?
Tazkir: During week days.
Magnus Olstad Hansen: Ok. I've made so many failed attempts at getting help with this issue, could you please leave a note for the relevant support team and have them contact me at (email) ?
Magnus Olstad Hansen: It would be easier for everyone, I imagine.
Magnus Olstad Hansen: Or even if they just reply to the forum post.
Tazkir: I am sorry I checked and see that you have Cs5, We don't support CS5 anymore. Please visit the forum.
Magnus Olstad Hansen: I will never buy software from Adobe again.
Magnus Olstad Hansen: I already linked you to a forum post, noone can help me there.
Magnus Olstad Hansen: And Adobe does not care.
Tazkir: I am sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.
Magnus Olstad Hansen: Yes. 2 years is not an acceptable lifetime for purchased software.
Magnus Olstad Hansen: I will be forced to replace my legally purchased version with a pirated one, support and help is better for that software than the legal one.
Tazkir: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Magnus Olstad Hansen: Well, no, I only have this problem.
Tazkir: Thank you for contacting Adobe. Good Bye.

Creating GIF in photoshop?

Hi Guys
been dabbling in some photoshop, nothing major, but have been using it more recently creating my own business cards, and flyers for my phone repairs. Now I would like to start a website, I seen a few templates, and came across a GIF, and thought it would be great to animate my Logo as a gif, it's basically a blue power button, but want the effect of it glowing off and on, then repeat.
But when I google to create a GIF, they all show how to create one from movie clips.
I already have my layers for the logo, and am assuming I will have to make several in stages of it getting dimmer.
Do I need to save all of these individually as JPEG, PSD? Is it actually possible to do?
My experience is basically a novice, I can follow youtube tutorials and that's about it, so I would need pretty detailed tutorials on how this would work (if possible)
I'm using CS6.
Many Thanks

Look for the topic creating a frame animation the timeline can do video and frame animations and frame animations came be rendered out as video. Older versions of Photoshop only had an animation panel the could do frame animations only. here one I made using two layers in an older version of Photoshop. Used the tween option to create frames between the two frames I created
You can also add a layer mask and unlink it and do this

How to View PDF slideshow created with Adobe Photoshop Album?

Many years ago during the Windows ME era, I created several short PDF slideshows with software (Adobe Photoshop Album) that included audio. I saved them to a flashdrive. I believe I used Adobe Reader 7 to play them years ago. I am now running Windows 7 and attempted to open/play the videos and all I could see is the individual slides with no audio. Is there a way to view these slideshows with audio today? Some of them have special meaning and I would appreciate any assistance on how to view them once again.

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop Ablum Starter Edition forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

Creating Clipart in Photoshop Elements 9

I am new to Photoshop Elements 9 and am trying to turn a logo that I personally designed into clipart. I have the logo saved as a jpeg file in my documents folder on my Mac. Can anyone tell me the steps to follow to accomplish this?

If your logo is saved as JPEG file, Open WORD, for example, go to Insert>picture, point to the location, and resize to suit.
If you need the logo on a web page, for example one created in Publisher, you can follow the same drill, but the background will show. In order to avoid this, save the logo in a file format that supports transparency.
In any even event, buy the program and we can help you as you go along.

Creating websites in photoshop and export to dreamweaver

Ok. I NEED HELP!!! I tend to create complex designs in
photoshop, and I can never get my images to line up correctly in
Dreamweaver. I had sliced each image in photoshop, and saved them
as HTML and Images, I open it up in dreamweaver, and none of my
buttons work. I have also tried creating tables in a layout, but it
never lays out the way I want it to. If anyone knows how to do this
and create complex designs as well, please give me a hint on how to
do it. I been having a hard time for a while and I am about to go
to this program that does all of that for me while in photoshop.
Also, if anyone heard of Site Grinder 2 (a site builder that
works with photoshop and helps you create webpages)? It seems
interesting, but I want to make sure I do not spend unecessary
money.
PLEASE HELP!!!

I think it's worth your time. It's a nice product. If you
have no
intention or interest in learning HTML and CSS, it's about
the only way to
create stable webpages....
