Creating a dark shadow in photoshop for use in the indesign file...

In my photshop file is a cut-out image of a piece of chess on a transparent background.

I want to create a shadow so it seems that the chess piece is a shadow so that I can open and use in my indesign document on a background of any color.

What is the common technique to achieve this? Just paint the shadow using a black brush at a low opacity?

Yes you can actually do.

You can make a selection of chess piece and who fill it with a dark gray or black and lower the opacity and use the tool of transformation to distort the
the selection is filled to represent a shadow. Or if you understand how to use vanishing point perspective grids, you can create a grid to the perspective you wish the cast and the shadow on the grid.

  • Best version of Photoshop for use with the new Mac Book with El Capitan upgrade

    As I spend my computers to El Capitan, I discovered a lot of confusion on Photoshop works on the version.

    Here is what I have

    Computers:

    1.

    • iMac from 2009, updated for Snow Leopard to El Capitan.
    • Photoshop CS5, which, after having installed the new Java works very well.
    • It was already installed, not uninstalled and reinstalled.  I just quit all programs there when I did the upgrade.

    2.

    • Mac Book Pro of Mavericks 2012, until ordered to El Capitan
    • It seems impossible to download my license remaining CS5 on the Mac Book

    I was on the cat 4 times, forums with no response for the moment and even talk to someone.  I get this CS5 (CS6 apparently too) are no longer updated or supported for Yosemite or El Cap.

    CS5 does not work on El Cap, but it does not work on my old computer.  Hmmm...

    I hear CS6 may not work either, but information is really confusing, some can, some can't.  Is this true?

    So is the best way to go is to use the CC (CC)?  Which I suppose is where you get your monthly subscription of CS6 of?  I am ready to do it if it will work on both computers and will work with Nik and other line Andromeda plugins

    Nik software will work with CC?

    Why CS5 does not work on my 2009 iMAC but not Mac Book of 2012?

    Any thoughts?

  • I want to know the differences between the conditions of subscription and use of Photoshop for photographers of the usual subscription?

    Nice day! I want to know the differences between the conditions of subscription and use of Photoshop for photographers of the usual subscription? And if I can buy then and for how Adobe Illustrator? What will be the beta of the Adobe XD for Windows? Thank you!

    If you ask what is the difference between photographic subscription and the subscription of stand-alone application, then the answer is both are essentially the same except for two ways. The photographic edition comes with Adobe Lightroom and 2 GB of cloud storage. The stand-alone Photoshop version comes on its own, but with 20 GB of cloud storage and is two times more expensive. If the 18 GB of cloud storage is an additional value, I would say probably no - put the money that you save on an external hard drive in place. The photographic edition was initially a temporary special offer caused a suggestion from one of the co-creators of Photoshop, but turned out to be very popular with fans, private and business and so we have a permanent plan to subscribe to Photoshop. There is no plan equivalent to Illustrator and who is available at a single price. With the subscription model, you can cancel at any time, but the contract is 1 year, if you cancel at the beginning there is a penalty clause which will ask you to pay extra this tax applies only if you pay your monthly subscription every year.

    You don't say where in the world you are, but the link below shows the available plans. There is a drop down box that allows the conversion in different currencies.

    What version of Premiere Elements you are using and on what computer operating system is running?

    You cannot import a project file (.prel) in another.

    For now, generalize choice

    a. export your Timeline (your intro) content to a file saved on the hard drive of the computer. And then import that

    file in new projects by using the new project add Media/files and folders. See publish + Share/computer/and the other

    choices here to generate this file intro for later use in other projects.

    b. you can set up what is called a dummy projects - this is a project with nothing other than the intro file. And, at all times

    you want to use the intro, you open one of these saved dummy projects and add your media sources.

    A lot of things to discuss. Please fill in some details more and then we can refine the answer for your particular situation.

    Thank you.

  • Any camera regardless of the interface is available for use with the LabView interface.

    Hello

    I intend to go for some CMOS camera,

    but I have a huge doubt before buying, the camera of menttioned above is not anywhere in this list. Nor can I see any type being supported USB device.

    The question is

    1. is a camera regardless of the interface is available for use with the LabView interface?
    2. Can I build a VI to communicate with any device image and recording of camera and take the data?

    Any kind of help or advice is greatly appreciated... I have to buy a CMOS camera and begin to run.

    Thank you...

    Hello Virginia,.

    I am pleased that this information has been useful, one thing I wanted to mention is that USB 3.0 has its own standard USB 3.0 Vision which is currently not supported. If this camera is also Direct Show compatible then you will be able to acquire an image using IMAQdx and manipulate all the attributes that are published to the API Live Show.

    I hope that USB 3.0 Vision will be supported in the near future, and we tentatively announced for this standard of communication for the August 2013 Vision Acquisition Softwareupdate.

    See you soon,.

  • Looking for a compatible printer AirPrint for use in the field to print from my iPad 2. Possess and have v

    Looking for a compatible printer AirPrint for use in the field to print from my iPad 2. Own and use very satisfactory wbt 460 HP with a laptop. All compatible printers AirPrint currently all-in-one and too big for travel or field use.

    Whereas several HP printers are among the 15 AirPrints currently on the market, it seems reasonable that HP could provide the upgrade that would make my 460 AirPrint compatible wbt.

    I wireless (my fi) and would like to buy the wireless card from the blue tooth, if only the upgrade of the driver was available.

    How and when HP can provide a mobile/trip AirPrint printer?

    Answer as I am a person of 70 years. Because I am and can be quickly way over my head!

    For now, we don't have an Airprint-compatible printer. Future products may include, but are not currently. Products that are compatible Airprint are designed this way, so no upgrade will take place for previous models.

    Looking at the website of Olympus, it would appear that we do not
    There are.

    But you do not need a driver because you do not need to connect your
    camera to the computer. Just put the memory card in a card reader and
    access like this instead. I prefer to do it with my camera,
    because it is easier, faster and uses no battery in the camera.

  • iTunes can't locate my music. When I try to play a song one get an exclamation point and the message "the song could not be used because the original file cannot be found. You want to locate?

    I don't know if I am posting this in the right place. If she must be somewhere else please let me know.

    When I try to play a song I get an exclamation point next to the song and a pop up that says: "the song could not be used because the original file cannot be found. You want to locate? »

    I use Windows 10 and iTunes version 12.3.1.

    It's the path statement where the music is currently located on my hard drive:

    If I click on a single song from within File Explorer, it opens iTunes and the song plays without problem.

    To try to solve this problem, I went in 'Advanced' in 'Préférences' and changed the iTunes media folder location to match the location of the files on my disk hard as you can see below.

    Unfortunately, it did not work either. iTunes is always gives me the same message that it cannot locate the original files. I REALLY hope someone can help me finally tried for weeks to solve this problem.

  • "could not be used because the original file cannot be found".

    Due to the use of the program duplicate Fixer of Photos on my Mac, I now have quite a few photos in Lightroom was marked as "could not be used because the original file cannot be found" and a small! mark appears on the thumbnail.

    I would like to know if I choose these photographs (more than 400 in all of my collection of approximately 20,000) by some filter? I did not understand this point, and it would be useful to follow them down (to then define as rejected and then removed from the LR catalog) without having to wade through hundreds of folders, etc.

    Suggestions for a filter would be very appreciated.

  • Help: Program changed by default for Internet Explorer, the .lnk files.

    So yesterday, I did something stupid. I managed to change the default program for all my .lnk for Internet Explorer files. I am running Win 7 (64).

    When I double-click on any file on my desktop, it tries to open the file with Internet Explorer. It is the same for most of the program files in my Start menu. I met some difficulties for this problem, but all were for the latest operating systems such as Vista and XP so I didn't run the risk of ruining my registry even more by running an obsolete program. If more information is needed just ask.

    Help ASAP would be greatly appreciated.
