How to transform photos in this 'look'?

How can i transform normal photos in this 'look'?

Hi Celta2000,
I'm not sure exactly what about the photo you are trying to recreate, or what 'look' you are going for. It looks like the photo has a soft painted feel and isn't trying to be photo-realistic. If that is what you are trying to achieve here is a tutorial that demonstrates how to do exactly that: Photoshop New Oil-Paint Filter and Skin Tone Selection Tool.
The key is to use the Oil Paint Filter in Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Creative Cloud (CC). To do this, go to Filter --> Oil Paint.
This dialog box will appear and you will be able to make adjustments according to your image.
This is the end result:

How do I create this look in illustrator....

I'm recreating some vintage art and am trying to get this spray paint look. Any suggestions on how to go about achieving this look (see photo) in illustrator?
I'm currently running CS4 (I'm on my work computer)....
[URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/23/aaaov.jpg/][IMG]http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4 728/aaaov.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
- I've tried looking in the preset brushes, no luck!
- I've tried creating my own brush using vector spray paint, no luck!
- I've tried looking for illustrator brushes online, no luck!
This seems like a very simple effect to do, I know how to create this look in photoshop but I need this to be vector. Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks guys!

First...
There is nothing wrong with a 1-bit diffusion dither object being raster, as far as printing results is concerned. Such images date back to the days of MacPaint and Hypercard. They are same-size (historically usually 1-point) pixels, randomly distributed at varying frequencies to suggest tones (as opposed to individual printer spots being combined to build varying size halftone dots).
So if the tiny squares are vector, yes, they are scaleable. But so are 1-bit pixels. When you scale a 1-bit raster, you're scaling square pixels, which are printed as squares. So a scaled 1-bit raster image is just as "resolution independent" as a bunch of vector squares.
Second...
This effect was employed in illustrations and designs since the very beginning of desktop publishing. For example, I frequently used it in the 80s thusly:
1. Draw a vector path of any shape in FreeHand.
2. Copy it to Photoshop. Blur it. Convert to 1-bit using diffusion dither. Save it as TIFF.
3. Import into FreeHand. Stack it below the object for which it served as a glow or drop shadow.
FreeHand had the ability to apply any color to a 1-bit or grayscale raster image, and the ability to set the white pixels of a 1-bit image to transparent. Illustrator didn't gain those abilities until decades later.
So it's not oppressively tedious to use that method nowadays, even in Illustrator. (And frankly, that's the way I'd do it.)
Third...
Illustrator sorely needs to provided a diffusion dither option in its Rasterize command for 1-bit color depth (as I've been arguing for years) instead of its lame pattern diffusion. Then this effect could be applied easily and quickly to any object, either as a "nailed down" rasterization, or as a live effect.
However...
You can simulate a vector diffusion dither pattern that you can apply to any path by combining several Scatter Brushes and storing their combined application as a Graphic Style:
1. Draw a 1 point square.
2. Store it as a Scatter Brush. Set the Spacing and Scatter settings to Random. To constrain the pattern to one side of the path to which it is applied, set the low limit of Scatter to zero.
3. Duplicate the Scatter Brush two or more times, changing the Spacing and Scatter upper limits in each duplicate so as to make each duplicate Brush increasingly sparse. In the example shown, the first Brush is named Scatter Brush 1 and has its upper limits for Spacing and Scatter to 300. This Brush was duplicated twice, and those two values doubled each time. But of course you can use whatever settings work for the effect you want.
4. Draw a temporary path with a 1-point stroke. Apply Scatter Brush 1. Select the Stroke Appearance and duplciate it. Apply Scatter Brush 2 to it. Duplicate the Stroke Appearance again, and apply Scatter Brush 3 to it.
5. Drag the whole path and drop it into the Graphic Styles palette to define a new Graphic Style. Now you can apply the whole Appearance stack to any other path(s) with one click.
Being Brushes, the fineness of the pattern can be adjusted by changing the weight of the strokes:
And, of course, you can apply other effects to the Brushes and strokes involved. For example, set the Colorization Mode of the Brushes to be able to change the color of the dither pattern; and/or apply Transform Effect to offset the pattern from the object to which it is applied (as for dithered drop shadows).

How to make a photo like this? (footballer)

Dear All,
I am enclosing a photo that I found in the Internet. This is a footballer photo.
May I know how I can make a photo like this in terms of color and texture in Photoshop? Many thanks!
Best regards,
Keith

What you'll want to do is pick a photo with something like a person or an animal in the foreground. Then, use the Lasso tool to trace around the outside. Separate the person and the background into two or more layers, depending on how much you want to change. Up the saturation on the background, and apply a blur under the filter menu. It might just be the angle the photo was taken from, but they could have possibly added a light effect behind him as well. As for the guy, it looks like they upped the contrast and lowered brightness. Since i don't know from what angle the photo was taken, those are the only effects I can say were most likely used.
Hope this helps,
Cole

How do I get this look using Aperture 3

Any idea how I can get this look (contrast, colors …) using Apple Aperture? http://www.moniekaansorgh.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/20120615_Jorieke_Christi aan_039.jpg

Hi Kris,
Don't worry. Your English is better than my Dutch!
You might want to look at taking some of the tutorials on Aperture offered at Lynda.com. You can sign up for a month and take as much training as you want to brush up on your skills.
However, for now, you can reduce the colour in you rimages by reducing the saturation level. If, however, you are happy with the flesh tones, but find the other colours too bright, us ethe Vibrancy slider to reduce all colours but the flesh tones. Try playing with the mid-contrast slider to see if that works for you. You can also try adjusting the black point to see if that makes a difference.
The good news is that Aperture is non-destructive in its editing, so you can go crazy trying all the adjustment settings to see what effect they have on your image without worrying about destroying your original photo.
So I would encourage you to try experimenting with the various adjustment options to learn what they do and by all means take somne training in the use of Aperture or buy a good book on the subject.
Have fun!
Cheers,
Bob

How come when I try to look at my photos in Iphoto a triangle comes out with an exclamation mark and I cannot see my photo?

How come when I try to look at my photos in iphoto a triangle comes out with an exclamation mark? Does this mean that I have lost all of my photos? Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks to all...

It means that iPhoto has broken the link/file path to the original file.
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Sample Picture - How To Acheive this Look

Hi there, attached is a link to a home that was processed in Photoshop and I was wondering the process that is used to achieve this look...(i.e. multiple layers, tweaked curves etc..)
Any input is appreciated! Thanks!

Gentlemen:
As I said: an expert architectural photographer who knows how to place washes of light on the subject, and then balance the lighting with the sky and other background. Take a look at other photos in the same series by this photographer.
If you light it right (including possible multiple flash techniques), you don't "need" RAW or any other Photoshop corrections. Again, I've seen this kind of lighting in a number of 4x5 Ektachrome originals that had been exposed and processed normally -- before Photoshop was a dream in Adobe's eye. Such photos can be absolutely stunning.
A pro will use Photoshop here just for cleanup and any
minor imbalances or corrections to reach perfection. An amateur will use Photoshop here as a crutch to turn less than stellar work into something "acceptable".
Is it possible to duplicate the effect from less-than-optimum photos with head-turning results? Anything is possible, but it depends upon how well the original subject was photographed, and how much information is in that photo that can be manipulated. But...

How to get this look...

How can I make my contacts image look like this when making a phone call..
http://www.google.com/m/search?site=images&gl=us&client=safari&source=mog&hl=en& aq=f&oq=&aqi=-k0d0t0&fkt=2487&fsdt=8362&q=iphonemaking+a+phone+call+screenshots#i=26
I'm in no way new to the iPhone, I've just not been able to find a way to get this look. With the new iPhone 4 the images are so large a clear I can almost see the pores on there faces. Thanks in advace for any help.

As mentioned, your link is bad.
But if you are talking about full screen image of contact vs thumbnail that is done depending how the image was assigned.
If assigned via phone, then will be full screen.
If assigned via a photo in your address book on computer that you sync with, then it will be a thumbnail.

All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area. I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo. this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto. Help!

All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area. It makes it look as though all of my photos are the exact same! I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo. this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto. How can I return it so that I see the photo itself in the preview area? Thank you!

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. This can take three or four goes.

I updated to iOS7 and my deleted photos came back. How do I make sure this doesn't happen again?

I updated to iOS7 and my deleted photos came back. How do I make sure this doesn't happen again? I want to get rid of the ones I already got rid of, but if they just keep coming back that will be a waste of time.
Can anyone help?
When I sync with itunes, the photos sections says I am syncing with my iphone, so I assume that anything I physically delete from my iphone should not be showing up again. Right?
Thanks in advance.
CM
PS- I don't use iphoto.

Is that really how sync works?
If you read this, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236 and this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314 they don't actually make how sync works very clear. I had thought that syncing my device to itunes would allow I tunes to copy what was currently on my phone so that I could restore that information when needed ie if your phone dies and you need to do a clean install of the iOS system, you always have what is currently on your phone saved in Itunes.
Specifically reading this:
To delete Camera Roll photos and videos from your device
There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
Import the Camera Roll to your computer and choose to delete items after import.
Delete photos and videos from your device manually:
Open the Photos application and open the Camera Roll.
Tap the Action button.
Tap each photo to select it.
Tap the Delete button.
Note: For photos and videos you want to save, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.
What you seem to be saying is that iTunes saves every contact, message, photo etc and when you click sync, it reuploads things that you deleted? This seems like it should work the opposite. Make a mirror image of my iPhone on my computer, not make a mirror image of my computer onto my iPhone. You delete things for a reason.
Help- anyone else? Is razmee209 right?

Can anyone offer some advice i am looking to upgrade the OS system on one of my macbook pro's, currently running os10.4.11, I would like to upgrade to OS10.5? how would I go about this, and is there a cost, for what is an old operating system now?

Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.

What do you mean by that?
Do you have backups from Snow Leopard (I assume you mean that, not Leopard)?
If so, where are they (external HD, Time Capsule, or what)?
