How do I get an image to look like this?

I have seen an image on a homepage of a shipping container website that says 50,000 containers sold blah blah. Anyway I want to be able to create a similar effect of making the image darker so that my text over the image will pop more but I don't know how to do this is Photoshop - can someone give any tips please? Would appreciate it!!!

Please post a screen shot of the graphic element(s) in question.
("blah blah", really?)
In general, darken the layer underneath to your taste using your tool of choice (curves, levels, exposure, whatever) and type the white text on a layer above it.
If you don't understand these very simple instructions, you need to be taught Photoshop from the ground up, and that exceeds the scope of this or any other forum.

    Please explain to me how to get the "objective, weighing factor, parameter" separated without bars and making the stuff underneath that tile have a certain color.

  • How do i create an image to look like a negative strip?

    How do i create an image in PSE11 to look like a negative strip? I have been able to do this in the past in older PSE but i cannot find the option in this version.

    Maybe you had installed an action into your previous version of photoshop elements?
    Anyway here's an action that will work in pse 11, although the look is a little different.

    I'm not Chris but maybe I can help...
    1.  Visit the web site of the maker of your video card.  There you will find detailed instructions for locating the driver that matches your hardware and operating system.  Generally speaking, it's usually as simple as downloading and running the installer they provide.
    2.  Right-click on an open space on your desktop.  On the lower-left side of the Personalization dialog, click on the Display link.  See what's set there - usually Smaller - 100% works the best.  Also, people report setting a custom text size (DPI) of 149% or 151% sometimes helps.  Lastly, go into your control panel Mouse settings and see if you have the standard Windows Aero (system scheme) selected in the Pointers section.

  • How can i edit a photo to look like this?

    hey, i just started using photoshop and i recently took a lot of cute summer pictures. i would like to make them look a little more dreamy, abstrct, artsy... maybe a little vintage...
    what i'm aiming at is something like this:
    i know its probably really hard to make something like this, but what would be some basic tools and steps to take?
    thanks so much
    laila

    Could you post a lores of one of your unedited images?
    Anyway, I would assume a combination of Curves or Levels and Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layers to edit the contrast and color of an image combined with a vignetting effect (also achievable in many ways) may achieve some of the effect.
    A Layer with the Filter Clouds (black/white) applied, set to Blend Mode Linear Light and with reduced Opacity may help achieve a somewhat blotchy appearance.
    As for the »confetti«: like the previous poster pointed out Brushes may do that.
    Randomization in the Shape Dynamics, Scattering and Color Dynamics might help there.

  • How do I get a picture to look like the audi example picture (2nd one) when you download motion 5 from the app store?

    Im looking to remake this picture that is an example when you download motion 5 from the app store. Apple gives you 5 example pictures to kind of show off what the program can do and I want to replicate the 2nd one. I like how the picture is divided into multiple different sized boxes and I dont know the presets needed to make another picture like that. Any tips are welcome. Thanks.

    Thanks for the help folks, sorry I've been away.
    I'd love help with the problem of why I only one track seems to accept clips to play. When I drag them to other tracks or create a track by dragging the clips are grayed out and won't play, but if I drag them to the one track where they're blue they play.

  • How can I create a button that looks like this?

    Hey everyone,
    I'm trying to create a button in photoshop for a web project I'm working on and I found something similar to what I'm trying to do already being used online. I'm trying to get something similar to the bottom row of buttons in this image:
    The bottom row of buttons uses a gradient overlay effect... but there is a small darker area in the top left corner of each of those images. It looks to be exactly the same in each image... meaning I'm guessing it's not hand drawn with something like the burn tool?
    How would I go about doing something similar? What's the easiest way to reproduce the effect shown above keeping it consistant from button to button?

    One way is using layers.
    Color layer on the botton so changing colors simply change color layer.
    Place all your image effects on the overlying layers.

  • How can we get the image which is stored in clipboard by labview, is there any functions available like text from clip board

    How can we get the image which is stored in clipboard by labview, i can get the text in clipboard by using invoke node directly.but i cannot get the image, is there any functions or vi available.(image is in Png format)

    The Read from Clipboard method is, unfortunately, limited to text. If the clipboard contains an image then you need to use OS-specific functions calls. This is an example program for Windows. It's old, but it should still work.

    How can I get an image from the screen? Like screen printer in PC to pasting after in word or other program.

    If you do Cmd+Shift+3 you'll get a full screen image saved to your desktop as a jpg file.
    Also, you can use Cmd+Shift+4 and you'll get a cursor which you click+drag to draw a box. When you release the drag the boxed in area will be saved to the Desktop as a jpg file.
