How do I place a watermark "behind" an image?

Hi there,
By behind I assume you mean over top an image.
There are different ways, the easiest way is mentioned above.
Following the same principle you can create a new file with a transparent background. Design your watermark etc and save the file as a .jpg or tiff.
While your watermark is still open in Photoshop open the image you want to apply the watermark on.
1) Go back to your watermark image and 'select all' or simply Ctrl + A.
2) Then press Ctrl + C
3) Go to your image file now and paste the watermark on top of the image by pressing Ctrl + V.
A new layer is then created and you can change the opacity to whatever you like to adjust the visibility of the watermark.
4) Save the file as a psd and keep this file for later use.
5) If you want a web friendly jpg then open the psd and save a jpg version.
Hope that helps!

How do i place new item behind an old item on front panel

is there a "bring it forward" or "place behind" button. right now i just cut and paste the old item in front of the new item, but not a good way to do it...if its a shared var in a loop it may land in the wrong place on the block diagram when i paste it back in the Front panel.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes. There's a "Reorder" button in the toolbar.

Adobe CS5 - How can I place vector shapes behind a mask?

Hello,
I am creating a logo in Photoshop which will have rows of horizontal lines that form the shape of a hexagon.
This is what part of the logo will look like:
I used the Vector Shapes tool to create the lines, because I will need to re-size the logo without distorting it.
I want to use a mask shaped as a hexagon to cover the edges of the lines. Here is how I created the hexagon mask:
New layer
Polygon tool
Changed the setting to Paths
Created the hexagon
Went to Layer > Vector Mask > Current Path.
After I created the mask I tried to see if I could copy and paste the lines (still vector shapes) into the blank area of the mask, but when this happened the lines were converted from vector to raster form.
What is the best way to mask multiple vector shapes without changing them into rasterized images?
Here are the screenshots:
BEFORE:
AFTER:

Did you try clipping the two layers? Place cursor between layers, hold down the alt/opt key and click.

How do I place on ID a halftone image made in PS and keep the halftone?

I'm really not finding anything about this, so i'm starting to think I can't do it. I'm using CS5. Here it goes:
I'm making a magazine layout as a college excercise. I want to use halftone images in one or two ink (some only black, others only cyan, or magenta, or both, etc) for this and I want the halftone to be noticeable but not so big that it turns my photo into an abtract image or a weird Lichtenstein. To try it, I grabbed one of the images in PS, separated the channels in different layers, used the halftone effect and got exactly what I wanted.
The thing is, when I place it on ID, it looks like... well, really bad. I already tried with High quality display.
Other things I tried:
Placing the image as both JPG and PSD. (No difference)
Exporting (printing) to PDF and looking at the result (really bad).
I haven't tried printing it on paper yet, but I assume it shouldn't change much, right? And i haven't tried with different dot sizes either, I'm going for that now.
FYI, this is for single digital printing, and not offset, it won't be sent to a printer.
Any help, advices or comments will be much appreciated. Any grammar correctiosn will be appreciated to, as english is secon language to me.
This is the PS image (Screen print kills it a bit)
And this is the PDF output.

In addition to Peter's suggestion, the halftoned bitmap is line art so it needs more resolution to accurately draw the dots. So:
If you add color ideally it should be 100% value combinations so you don't have a printer screen interfering. Above is 100% magenta back with 100%cyan+100%magenta for the halftone line art

How do I place translucent text over an image in InDesign?

I have placed text on top of an image and am trying to make it look translucent. However, when I select the text box, go to Object > Effects > Transparency, select Text and reduce opacity to 70% and hit OK, it does reduce the transparency of the text but also appears to raise the brightness of the image underneath. I've also tried putting the text in a separate layer from the image but it still happens. How can I make it so that just the text changes? Thanks in advance.

Which version of InDesign are you seeing this issue in danni95?
I can't replicate the issue in InDesign CC (2014.1 Release).
However, am thinking what you are seeing is related to the display of transparency. If the InDesign document were to be converted to PDF v1.3 (Acrobat 4 compatibility) or EPS, the text will be outlined, and the text frame area will become a rasterized region.
There's a couple of things you could do to check all is OK, and things are merely a display issue.
Open up the Effects panel (Window > Effects) and ensure that the 70% opacity on Text is the only setting applied. No other Effects, Blending Modes or Opacity settings applied elsewhere?
View the document with Overprint Preview enabled (View > Overprint Preview). Do you still see the issue? If it disappears, I'd not be too concerned with the issue, as in final output things will be OK.
Thirdly you can try using the Flattener Preview panel (Window > Output > Flattener Preview), to further isolate the issue.

How to add a jpg. watermark to images in bridge?

I'm trying to work out how to add a jpg. watermark to my images in bridge and also how to batch add the watermark.

add a jpg. watermark to my images in bridge and also how to batch add the watermark.
You can't do so in Bridge, only option for a watermark inhere is via the Output Module on a PDF contact sheet.
Best try this question in the Photoshop forum, they might have better answers because you need to create an action in PS to get what you want.

How do you place a 'cloud' brush behind an object in the original image?

As you will see I am extremely new to Photoshop and I am trying to teach myself a few things so any help & tips would be great!
As you can see from the image below, I am trying to put trails behind each of the planes in the picture. I have downloaded a pre-set brush and for the first 3 planes on the right and I just created new layers and placed the trail, free transformed it till it was the correct size & changed the hue so it was white. I am trying to put the trail behind the remaining 6 planes but obviously the brush is going to go right across/on top of the other planes on the right. Can someone explain how the process on how I can insert this brush behind the planes in the original images - is it some sort of mask technique? Also how can I then merge this stamp so it's faded more into the background of the original image - is that the opacity?
Thanks

Use layers. Place each row of planes on its own layer and its trail on its own layer. Then you can move the layers so the planes are on top of the trail. Since the trails are on their own layers, you can then change its opacity as it is layer based.
layer 1 - first row of planes
layer 2 - trails for first row of planes
layer 3 - second row of planes
layer 4 - trails for second row of planes
etc
etc.

Help!Can't figure out how to copy and paste a drop shadow behind an image in photoshop

I use illustrator most of the time. I'm designing a brochure and I've always embedded images, but now I'm trying to it correctly by linking them instead. So I have an image in ps as a tiff. I created a drop shadow for the image in illustrator. I want to copy and paste it behind the image into the same file so both are one file linked to the brochure. Also the drop shadow pastes as too small, then i also can't get it positioned right etc. Please explain how to do this step by step. I've been trying for hours to figure it out. thanks!

    What happened is this: my client emailed me the image as a jpg. I downloaded it, then right clicked "open with" - photoshop. It opened in photoshop. Then I saved it as a tif. (maybe i didn't need to do this). Then still in psd i went to image size - and made the image 6x4 inches (the image is supposed to be printed 3x2 inches on the brochure) . Then I made it 300 dpi resolution and kept the resampling box checked. Then I went to layer styles; drop shadow; and used the drop shadow menu to get it the size and placement and opacity i desired .It's just a plain rectangular drop shadow which is a little offset behind the plain rectangular photo. I did check the box where the image would drop out the drop shadow (or whatever it said:). The drop shadow is on the same layer as the image. Then behind all of it is a larger rectangle of the grey and white boxes, which show thru thru the drop shadow in psd. I'm assuming this is simply the artboard. Then i named it and saved it into a "links" folder which i plan to include in the folder containing the illy brochure file.
    Since the psd image is 6x4 inches, will it reset to 3x2 when printed to match the placed image size? Or should I size the psd image exactly like the illy placed image? Is the drop shadow in this case a blend like you were describing earlier?
    Did i do anything wrong in the process which will make the brochure print incorrectly, or am i being too confusing for you to know ? ))
    I'm so nervous about how it all translates from one to the other. Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to place hidden text "behind" or within a jpg image?

I am using RH 9 to write and edit a user help manual. All the help topics must be searchable from within the Help contents in the application.
One such topic is Keyboard Shortcuts. The problem is that this topic is a JPG image, so it's not possible to search from it within the Help Contents and Index.
From my work with MS Word, I know how to place hidden text (transparent) in a textbox behind an image, which would enable a search. Basically, I'd type "Keyboard Shortcut" into the textbox, paste it behind the JPG image, so that when a user types that term in the Search field, they are directed to the location of the JPG. Can I accomplish this, or the equivalent, in RH9?
The only other option I can think of is to type the list of shortcuts out, but that's inefficient and time consuming.
If anyone has any other suggestions for making the JPG (or at least the term "Keyboard Shortcuts") searchable, I'd appreciate it.
I know MS OneNote allows users to search for text within images.
Thanks!

Hi there
Look at the properties for the topic in question. Specifically, the tab labeled General. On that tab is a field where you are able to add Keywords for just such a purpose.

Where and how can I place and setup my airport to reduce EMF exposure?

I want to reduce EMF exposure from the Airport Time Machine which is sitting on my desk right now. Where and how can I place and setup it up?

What role does the TC have in your network?
If you do not want EMF (actually RF), exposure, move it as far as possible away. There is no rules.. but the inverse square law.. if you double the distance the radiation will drop by 4times. So for every double distance you drop RF by another 4times. Far more EMF is coming from the computer than the TC. So you should move that away as well if you are worried about EMF.
Let me also say, as doubtless others will, the RF exposure from TC or any wifi is tiny.
Firstly they do not continuously transmit.. it will pole briefly every few seconds but only will transmit during actual file transfer.
The power output of say a cordless phone is aprox 10x that of the TC. And that is or can be the same microwave freq as wifi or near to.
The mobile phone in your pocket is doing the same thing.
There is no proof that microwave radiation at such minute levels will do anything harmful.
If you have headaches etc which you believe are caused by wireless.. then do not use wireless.. turn it off and cable everything. Shield your house as well.
As a general principle.. shielding is effective.. If for instance you have a 27" imac on your desk.. place the TC on the wall behind the imac.. the metal of the imac will shield you to some extent.. although of course some radiation will bounce from other objects.
Any shielding of the TC will reduce its effective wireless range.. ie you can put the TC in a metal cage.. (look up Faraday Cage) which will stop all radiation.. If you open windows in the cage.. it should only get signal in those directions but it is not a neat easy rule. And obviously I can achieve the same thing by simply turning the wireless off.
The v5 utility has a control of power output on the TC.
This is just the same as distance.
Transmit power is able to be set to 10%, 25% and 50%. At the cost of range of course.
If you run Mountain Lion you will have to use tricks to load it.. but it can be done. Lion you can download it.

How do I add a watermark to my photo's

How do I add a watermark to my photo's?

iPhoto has no built-in feature to watermark photos.
You can do it in an external editor, that allows graphics compositing or install the very useful plugin "BorderFX" (donation ware). You can download it here: BorderFX - iBorderFX iPhoto
This plug-in will allow you to add a watermark and other annotaions to a photo, when you export the photo from iPhoto.

How can I place calendars in multiple calendar groups?

I would like to use a group for each of my family members but reference some of the same calendars from multiple calendar groups. Here is an example:
Lets say I have a calendar for school, sport1, sport2, activity, family, and work
I would like the groups to look like this:
Me: family and work
Wife: activity and family
Son_1: school, sport1 and family
Son_2: school, sport2 and family
When a group is visible, that person can see the activities in which they participate. When several groups are visible, though, only single copies of shared events would appear and shared events would only have to be entered once.
Is there a way to do this or do I need to place this on the feedback page?
