Distressed Photo Effect

Can anyone give any pointers on how I might get this Distressed Photo Effect in Photoshop?

Generally this is done by having a texture layer on top of the image. So you might have a picture of some fabric. Convert that image to black & white and put it on a layer above your image, then change the blend mode to something like Overlay.

Has anyone seen this photo effect before and if so do you know the process involved?

I have seen this photo effect before and was wondering if anyone on the forum has any knowledge of how it produced in Photoshop. I am sure Poster Edges has something to do with it but I can not seem to replicate the effect.

Thanks I will check.... only reference I have found is under LED Effect but no Tuts, Thanks again I will let you know if I find anything. Really a cool visual effect.

Elements 7 tint black and white action in photo effects palette

I have somehow deleted my tint black and white photo effects atn file. Can someone with PSE 7 copy their tint black and white.atn file and send to me. I have the png and thumbnail files, but would like to get the .atn file without re downloading my software. The action is in the photo effect palatte. Will be very much appreciated. Debbie

If Photoshop manages color, you need to pick the correct profile for the printer/paper. The profile will be called something like e.g. <printer name> Epson Premium Glossy, if that's the paper you're using.

Installing new actions where is photo creations/photo effects folder?

Hi,
I've purchased a new Windows 7 32 bit OS, installed PSE7 and now trying to install my favorite "actions" but cannot locate the appropriate folder to drop them into! Show Hidden files and folders is activated. Also not showing is the Mediadatabase.db3 folder. Have also tried copying into the search bar the approriate file string but still no luck. Have searched the forums to see if someone else has had this issue but apparently not.
Hope someone can help.
Cheers,

Hi there,
The path to install the action is:
Start Menu
Computer
Local Disk (C:) (This could possibly be a different letter, but is usually C and most likely will be your computer’s root directory.)
ProgramData (If you don’t see this, it’s probably hidden. Go to Start/Control Panel/Appearance and Personalization/Folder Options/Show Hidden Files and Folders and activate the radio button next to Show Hidden Files & Folders)
Adobe
Photoshop Elements
7.0
Photo Creations
Photo Effects
Mediadatabase is in 7.0/Locale/en_us.
If you need more help, detailed instructions are available on my website. The method for PSE 7 is exactly the same for PSE 8, just use the folder appropriate for your version.

Can anyone help me find my lost layer styles and photo effects in the Effects Panel?

I am using the trial version of Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded and tried to install a glitter style. When I went back to my workspace I had no layer styles or photo effects in the Effects panel....not one. The filters are the only ones there now. What have I done?

Quit the editor, then go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Locale\en_US (or your location) and delete mediaDatabase.db3. When you restart the editor, give it time to rebuild the panel contents before you try to use PSE.

Deleted Photo Effect Permanently

I am new to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. In photo effects of edit mode, I clicked on "delete effect permanently" on color fade center thinking that I was deleting effect on that photo only. I'm afraid that I've deleted theeffect permanently for future editing. Can I recover this effect?

You'll need to uninstall and reinstall, I'm afraid.

Warp-a-tron for the Blackberry Playbook has been updated to V1.2.
Along with the original wide range of effects you can add to the Playbook's camera (front or back), in real-time, a new 'Halftone' effect as been included.
This can give your images a magazine/newspaper 'print' look. Coupled with the background images, frames you can add and vignetting you can create some astonishing photo's straight from the Playbook camera.
You have full control over the size of the 'Halftone' blobs and rotation of the pattern. You can change the foreground and background colours or even opt to have the background transparent.

Looking for a photo effect

I have been looking, unsuccessfully, for a photo effect in AS3. I am a noob so I don't know how to programme complex effects. I could do it in after effects but I would prefer it in AS3.
How can I achieve an effects like this one
http://www.flasheff.com/patternsshowcase/?pattern=FESBlurSquare
Thank you

hi
its been a while since i used AS2 but i think AS3 has more effects (filters) - although some of them cant be set via the IDE (see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filters/package-d etail.html for the list)
if we were restricted to 'non-coded' effects, the possibilities would be much reduced...

Two-Photo Effect...Missing Step(s)?

I am attempting to follow a "Finishing Touches" tutorial by Dave Cross (from Layers Magazine, Jan/Feb 2007, pgs. 34-38) and seem to be missing a step (or more?) to achieve the desired result. Basically it is a variation on a two-photo effect, where the smaller "focal" image has a stroke applied and then the "sprayed strokes filter" applied to that. I cannot get the filter to have ANY effect on the stroke!
Here is the variation, according to the tutorial:
VARIATION 2: Here I made a selection based on the smaller photo by Command-clicking (PC: Ctrl-clicking) on its thumbnail in the Layers palette, then added a layer on which I created a stroke (using Edit>Stroke). Then, I applied the Sprayed Strokes filter (Filter>Brush Strokes>Sprayed Strokes) to the stroke layer.
Now, I can get the sprayed strokes filter to apply to the entire image...not the desire result. OR, I click on the filter, but nothing appears in the filter preview window and nothing happens to the stroke when I apply it.
Apparently, there are a couple of "clicks" that I am missing, but I can't figure out what they are for the life of me!
I am using PS CS4 v 11.0.2 on a Wn XP sp3 OS.
Thanks for any help!

miss_marple...THANKS! Adding the white fill to the layer worked. I still can't seem to get the brush stroke to extend beyond the outside edge of the stroke (which his example shows) but I'm hoping that I can achieve that with a bit more experimentation.
Noel, I had thought about the deselection idea and had tried any number of combinations of what was selected and what wasn't. That's how I came up with the multiple issues from the OP. But thanks for thinking of that. I know that many times those "little steps" get overlooked when documenting the exact process because they are either intuitive, repetitive, or simply missed in the bigger picture!
I can always count on the posters here to help me find a solution!
Thanks!!!

PSE 6 - Lost Layer Styles & Photo Effects

I am running PSE 6 on two computers. For some reason, I cannot access layer styles or photo effects in the Editor on only one of the computers. I have run the "repair" function within the software - no fix. I have restarted several times - no fix. I have reset Tools - no fix. (You'll notice I get more desparate as I go along ... ) I have re-set Program Preferences - no fix. I have even tried copy/paste with the files from the working computer to the non-working computer ... C: Program Data/Adobe/PSE/6.0/locale/en_US copying both Photo Creations and Photo Creations Metadata. Nope, that didin't work either. I've searched google for a solution to no avail. Nothing happened (that I know of) to "upset" the program. I am running PSE 6.0 on Vista 32 bit.
Please help??!
Thanks in advance,
Roberta

I know you said you did a copy/paste job on the folders but try renaming the mediadatabase.bd3 file and rebuilding it.
See post #3 (XP) or post #9 (Vista) in the link below for instructions on how.
http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39312
Note: The application data folder is a hidden folder...but you already know that since you did the copy/paste. I've seen a few post that indicate it might take 10 minutes after launching for your styles and effects to rebuild.
You might also try holding in the Shift key as you launch elements. In older versions, this made the preview cache rebuild...not sure if this is still true but worth a try. Again wait about 10 minutes after launching to see if your effects and styles rebuild after launch.

Photo Effect in Photoshop

Hello I use Instant Lomo (from Instant Lomo - Apply a lomo effect to your photos ) to get a Lomo effect on my photos. Are there any commercial or free lomo plugins for Photoshop?

Use a levels adjustment, bring the output whitepoint way down.

Photo effects missing in iMovie project

I have modified photos adding effect and optimizations with iOS standard pictures editing. I can see picture effects also if I open images with iPhoto. when I add pictures to iMovie project all effect are missing, pictures are used in original format.
how I can see picture effects in iMovie?
thanks,
Mario

Something similar is happening to me. I created a project a couple of months ago in iMovie '08, and now the "upper window" thumbnails are showing with an exclamation mark - but just the video clips! The photos are still there. You can see the thumbnail with the exclamation mark and when you drag the cursor through it to see it play, it only does in the little damaged thumbnail but not in the screen. After touching it, it becomes black. It does not play at all when the project is played completely. I someone finds out how to solve this, please advise.
Thanks so much.

Photo effect - pop art

Has anyone been able to apply the effects from photo booth - namely pop art - to photos in iPhoto?
Alternatively, has anyone been able to import a photo into photo booth and apply any of those effects?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You have more luck posting in the iSight forum, as PhotoBooth has nothing to do with iPhoto. That said, try delete the Photobooth preference file the home / library / preferences folder
