How to make an outline of a subject/face

Hi all

Okay, so I try to do something like this: http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/8335/headfn.png

I have a picture and I just want to make an outline.

But I have 2 problems:

1. I can't make a smooth path

2. I can't fill the path with color gradient

What is the best way to get a result similar to the image?

You will probably have to do with the pen tool. You can also try your hand with the work path make the selection from the Trace Panel button, but you still have to tweak it a bit to get in a decent shape.

Work paths exist outside the structure of the layer so you can't fill them. You will have to turn to a selection and then fill them or, with the selected work path, add a gradient fill layer

    Hello

    The answer to my question could be simple enough for most of you, but I've never done something like this before in PS. So I was wondering how I can make the outline of a circle, a specific image. I want to create an outline of the circle, the outline is a photo (or texture) that I created. Does anyone know how I would go all this? Thank you.

    Most love all kinds of ways to do this. Here is one that is non-destructive, so you can change it.

    Set the fill opacity 0:

    Double-click the Panel layer to open the layer UI styles and determine the race:

    Put this layer in a group.

    Add your texture above the Group and opt/alt-click layer to a layer of cutting of your texture layer with the group with the STROKE layer. The following shot shows the structure and the layer mask shows what is below these layers.

  • How to make a macro with a goal photos 50 mm f1.8 Prime

    How to make a photos of macro with a prime lens 50 mm f1.8 lens is labeled macro, but only makes farm ups.

    A "true" macro lens allows to approach quite close to your subject that the size of the image on your sensor is larger than what is in real life.

    For example: your sensor is "roughly" 14 x 21 mm.  A penny in the United States has a diameter of 19mm.  This means with a real purpose of macro scale '1:1 ', you could get close enough to the penny the edges of upper and lower of the penny does not fit in the frame (the will of sides... barely.)

    There are a number of ways of "close-up" photography.

    (1) buy a "real" macro lens  The EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens is fantastic and also good enough prices.  A 'real' macro lens will provide the highest quality of image.

    (2) buy "extension tubes".  These committed between the casing and the lens, but they are hollow (there is no element of glass in them but they have electronic contacts so that the lens and the body can still communicate.)  By moving the furthest lens to the focal plane, the range of the lens is considerably reduced.  This allows you to get much closer that otherwise would be possibe.

    (3) use diopters "close up".  Here's the screw on filters that you screw on the end of your lens.  They provide a larger/more close to your subject.  The disadvantage of these, it is that they can show distortion near the edges of the image.

    (4) use a ring of "Recoil".  It is a ring that allows you to mount your lens on the camera body... back.  The screws on the front of the lens (where you would normally be screw on filters), but a bayonet mount on the other side, so you can connect it to the camera.  Using the lens 'backwards', you can get much clsoer.  The downside is that you can't control the lens.  Development is manual and you cannot change the opening.

    If you use CS2, you can use the layer style > stroke and adjust the opacity of fill to 0. It would be more difficult to make a dotted line. Most likely, you will need to create a mask for this.

    How to make images transparent when psd I drag and drop the layer on the stage on flash cs6?

    For example an iv was do what he so far recorded as a psd and then go to the folder to import into the flash library. It's very very time consuming and would be a lot easyer if I can simply drag and drop the layer photoshop on the scene, but the problem is that the image gets a white box around it and that it is not transparent, when I do this.


    Is there an option in photoshop or flash to solve this problem and make the background transparent?

    Reminds me of Mario Bros. Yoshi

    I know what you want to do, but as the first answer mentioned, you can do it. Until Photoshop is updated to copy with transparency intact in the Windows Clipboard, you will not be able to do. The reason why I've linked and showed a screenshot of the GIMP is to prove that it is a limitation of Photoshop, not a limitation of Flash or the Windows Clipboard.

    Knowing this, it not there no way for you to copy/paste, drag/drop from Photoshop directly in Flash.

    Cartoon animation is essentially identical to the way most of the games work. You create one large master image that contains all the possible variations of your subject (a face, a car, etc.) and import that into a game. Do you the same thing during the animation, only you keep them all separate instead of a single image.

    Knowing that your experience with Flash is small and growing, I won't make the most optimal recommendation. I'll stick to 2 things that I've mentioned before, but elaborate on them.

    (1) save your assets on real png with transparency, then import them into Flash.

    The reason why I highly recommend this much is due to the function of update of the Flash (I'll explain) and it is possible to automate some (also will be explained).

    So, I grabbed a sheet of sprite in Yoshi and say that I did a new pose as you mentioned. In Photoshop I have then select and copy this new single pose, with transparency:

    As you know, once you do that you can bring up a "New Image" dialog box, and it will already have the size of your pixels copied (with adorned transparency):

    You can see the size is correct and the preset's Clipboard. After that, you just paste your new image in and clear the background to achieve transparency. Then save you it to a separate file. I always use save for Web to a pinch of optimization of size of files and general control:

    Yet once, I realize that it is much more that you want to do, but all of this can be automated which will be explained after virtually making a send operation button.

    Now we have the image as a separate new PNG image with transparency intact. This image should be imported into the Flash library:

    Now you have both a separate physical copy of this pose in a PNG file (which can be useful for many reasons) and Flash can use this file with it's built in control of update of the very rapid changes.

    Now say you touch up your a pose a bit. I'll make it really obvious and change the hue of all. You make your changes in Photoshop, follow the same process (even make changes to the original image size), possibly replacing the PNG you created for this installation:

    Now in Flash, all you need to do is use the update feature. Right-click on the image in your library, select update. Because it is a file with a physical location, that's all that is needed to change the image in Flash:

    The power in this is that if you make changes to dozens or hundreds of png, you can do this command in a single Flash. Select all modified images and press update and all your changes will be made at the time. You can't do this kind of things when you copy and paste directly into Flash.

    That said, almost all of the steps above can be automated using the Photoshops Actions Panel. No need to reinvent the wheel, Actions are explained here:

    http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/CS/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7448a.h tml

    I would recommend the Save action once you make your selection rectangle around what you want to save a PNG image. Save up to save for Web and stop there. Then in the future, you press the shortcut key that affect you and it will be part of your choice, open a new document, paste it in, turn off the background for transparency and you will bring to the dialog box in which you can name the image. It's pretty simple and automated. Then just import into Flash and enjoy the benefits.

    (2) use Photoshop to create assets, then another program to copy/paste in Flash

    Is not ideal to have 2 programs need, however if you really want you copy and paste directly into Flash, it is the way to go. Download any program that can read the PSD file format, open your PSD in there. If you have enough RAM this shouldn't really be a problem (PS and GIMP side by side, same open file):

    As you make changes to the PSD, just hit reload or go back in your program to support ' copy in transparency ', copy what you need, paste it into Flash:

    I'll explain some of the benefits of the previous workflow if you want, but I think that this is the overload of enough information for now.

  • How to make a leap of JMS Proxy Service subscribed as a synchronous service

    I'm trying to find the right configuration/model of OSB in support of the following.

    Use case:

    Several messages to a JMS topic. The Java Web Service invoked by the Subscriber of the Service Proxy should cannot have an active instance at a time so that it processes messages syncronously.

    Current configuration for OSB:

    Topic JMS-> ProxyServiceA-> BusinessServiceA (synchronous Web Service, Java)
    -> ProxyServiceB-> BusinessServiceB (BPEL synchronous Web Service)

    Work Manager configured on ProxyServiceA with maxThreadCount = 1 and minThreadCount = 1

    Question:

    Multiple instances of BusinessServiceA are active at the same time with the above parameters. I am unable to do the ProxyServiceA to act as a synchronous process, so that it will not return until BusinessServiceA has completed.

    A few Questions:

    How many subscribers are there on the subject? You verified this in the admin console.?

    What kind of factory of connection do you use? Is it permissible to XA?

    Try this:
    1 make the transactional proxy service by implementing a XA Factory connection
    2 configure a job manager on the service proxy with a maxthread = 1 constarint
    3. set up a manager of work on business services (java WS) with the constraint maxthread = 1. (we found tests to maintain the original sequence after the restorations of transactions, it is necessary to single thread of business service as well).
    4. in the proxy service, when routing to business defined Quality of Service on $outbound = Exacltly - once.
