PS or Illustrator to create a composite picture?

I am trying to build a composite image (a human figure), using elements cut, resized, rotated and pasted from photos.  It will be then abandoned in my own background illustrated on the fly.  The final product will be printed/published.  I use a MS Surface Pro 2 - Windows 8 - which has a small screen (and probably a few disadvantages of Windows-based), but a useful pen.  Would you recommend me using PS or Illustrator (or something else)?

It can be done in Photoshop, but the more convenient environment for this sort of thing is actually about InDesign. That's where I'd do it.

Preparation of the photos must be made in Photoshop first, of course (and vector illustrations in Illustrator). But then all items are placed in the identity document, and cropping, resizing, rotation, displacement, overlay and so on is a child to identity card game - which is his main set of tools.

  • Tips on creating a composite image! HELP assistants PS :)

    Hello

    I am a new photographer and certainly again when it comes to photoshop.

    I wanted to create a "composite" image, where I take 3 pictures and merge them into one.

    The problem I have is the shadows that are cast the model cut in each image.

    The other problem is a slight inconsistency in the gray background - colours are not exactly the same.

    Exactly would guys you do if you were in my shoes and wanted to make these 3 images in 1?

    Here is a picture of what I'm talking about.

    Pointers would be very welcomed!


    Thank you!

    There are several ways to reach the final objective in most situations, but in the end, you will need to decide what your goal is.  Here, I think you need to do 2 things - create a new décor extend the 3 models and false then the shadow.

    What about a different approach to isolate the models, rather than use the quick selection tool, you could create paths or use the magic wand tool... and for the shadows, another approach would be to use the tool of engraving with defined range highlights.

    Although I think these methods would give you less control in editing.

    When you configure multiple views puppets (that is, by pressing keyboard triggers to switch to profile/quarter views), you need to adapt the behavior of the Face and behavior of lip sync (if do lip sync), the puppet of top level down to the individual view subpuppets. For your work or any other configured in this way, follow these steps:

    1. In the project Panel, select the puppet.
    2. In the properties panel, remove the face and Lip Sync behaviors.
    3. Double-click the puppet to open it in the Panel of the puppet.
    4. Whirlpool open character > subpuppet Chief (in your example) so you can see the layers view subpuppet.
    5. Select all the layers in view subpuppet (in your case, currently, before and on the right side).
    6. Add the behaviors of face and Lip Sync in the add behavior menu ('+ ') in the properties panel. This allows you to adjust the settings on a view-by-view basis.

    Now, that you trigger different views, your facial expressions and speech can still control the character's face.

  • AE CC14 creates a composition without the sequence first inside!

    There, hell

    Since the next generation of Adobe out our hole Creative Suite is to ventilate for no rational reasons...

    However, we work with a whole group with many parallel projects and would not be updated until we have finished our real projects because of the same issue, there was last year. Open files with new version caused you were not able to open the file with an older version... (speaking of the first).

    My question:

    I'm still working with first CC 2014 and after effects CC 2014. I import my first sequence in my AE project. Now, I want to create a demo of my sequence in it. There are many ways to do it. So there are for example the icon of the model, or you can do it with the menu bar.

    It creates the composition but without the sequence in it. I do not use anything. Not all fonts and even no animation. Import of simple dynamic links (not import itself, it is imported, but it does not appear in the model. Cannot move a drop, can't do anything with it).

    Now the update is online, and because of these 'new' problems in CC14 you're forcing the user to udate to CC15! It's the feeling I get when suddenly the day of the liberation of CC15 my entire deparquement Suite CC14 is crush every 20 minutes just without reason... without giving me an option for an error report.

    I had this problem again. And because all members of the support team supports so favorable, here's a way you can fool AE.

    Create a solid. Then right-click on the solid and select "replace images.

  • Strange behavior when creating a composite with ' without validating key. '

    Hi all

    It's very strange for me. Can you please tell me where I am wrong.

    I want to create a composite key for the combination "INT_ID" and "STO_ID" columns in the table "act_ord". because this table contains already more entries in double for this combination, I decided to use 'enable novalidate' to skip validation for records duplicate already existing while creating constraints. But I get the following error "ORA-02260: table can have only one primary key" executing the below statement 1.1. If I create a 1 column with option novalidate constraint means, its working fine.
    1.1 Not working:- Giving error ORA-02260: table can have only one primary key
    ALTER TABLE ACT_ORD ADD CONSTRAINT PK_INT_ORD

    1.2 Working without any error:
    ALTER TABLE SPL_VAS.ACT_ORDER ADD CONSTRAINT PK_INT_STO_ORD
     PRIMARY KEY   (INT_ID) enable novalidate
    Is there a limitation of use 'enable novalidate' with the creation of composite primary key?

    Please take the necessary steps and make your suggestions.

    Kind regards

    It is clear to me why you get this error. Here's a unit test where I get a different error (more logical).

    Note: to do this, you must first create a NON-unique index on the columns that you want to be in the primary key. Then use the clause for INDEXING to HELP when you add the primary key.

  • (AI CS4 Mac) How to create a composite path?

    Hi people,

    I am trying to create a compound path in AI CS4 for Mac, but I failed. We think that this would be easy, so maybe I'm missing the obvious solution...

    What is the best way to create a compound path using the SDK? I just need to make a path consisting of two overlapping rectangles so that I can create a clipping mask. Nothing complicated.

    The SDK is not clear on the best way to create a compound path, but I thought that programmitically by selecting the two rectanlges and then using the 'adobe_makeCompound' action would work, but this isn't.

    ERR = sAIActionManager-> PlayActionEvent ("adobe_makeCompound", kDialogNone, NULL);

    When the above code is called while I am debugging, I get a dialog box that reads: the purpose of 'Make a compound path' is not currently available.

    If I click on the 'Stop' button for debugging, the value of err is 1346458189 which is "PARM". So, maybe I need to define a parameter? The thing is that it seems to be without parameters required for the action event "adobe_makeCompound". When I created the action manually, the file .aia (see content below) has a parameterCount == 0. I've tried passing a block of parameters without adding all the parameters (instead of NULL), but still no joy.

    /IsOpen 0

    /isOn 1

    /hasDialog 0

    }

    Any help or suggestions on how to create a composite path would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    In fact, here's a more useful Variant

    box1 and box2 are the AIArtHandles for your existing paths

    Composed of AIArtHandle = 0;

    sArt-> NewArt (kCompoundPathArt, kPlaceAbove, rectangle1, & composed);

    sArt-> sReorderArt (rectangle1, kPlaceInsideOnTop, composed);

    sArt-> sReorderArt (box2, kPlaceInsideOnTop, composed);

    This will create the compound just beside each time rectangle1 is, much simpler and more likely what you want

  • Adobe Illustrator can create this kind of arts?

    Hello people from Adobe, I want to draw and color fancy stuff.

    Ultimately I want to draw something on this level:

    http://media.Blizzard.com/wow/media/artwork/trading-card-game/series5/TCG-series5-006-full .jpg (with illustrator only, but if necessary I'm willing to switch to Photoshop)

    But I want to go even further and animate such an image at this level:

    Lady Vashj GIF | Create, discover and share on Gfycat

    Adobe Illustrator help me to do this kind of arts? I don't have any sensitive tablet, so I choose to use Illustrator to photoshop, but I don't mind using both if which is recommended?

    What is your opinion about that...

    The thrust of this article is a "sales pitch" for vector graphics, based on the premise that a raster imaging software (Photoshop) is inherently more for use of a stylus and a vector program (Illustrator) is inherently more designed for the use of a mouse.

    First of all, it's a false premise. The raster and vector prédatent pen tablets. I rarely use a stylus, but use raster and vector programs every day. Second, the use of a particular type of pointing device is unrelated to your question.

    Consisting of (as article phrases it) "a splash of pixels," raster imaging lends itself to detailed texture. That is why it is used in photography. (It is not called Photoshop for nothing.) A vector is essentially a list of orders for forms of rendering.

    But you talk more artistic style illustration original than the technical differences between raster and vector graphics. A wide range of styles can be executed to choose the type of program. Yes, raster imagery is metaphorically compared to 'paint' and graphics vector is equivalent to "drawing." But it's just an analogy, and you should not consider too literally.

    Think about the foolishness of draw or paint grains of sand to a beach to draw. If working with a brush or a pencil, an Illustrator return individual grains of sand as a camera does. What he suggests a texture Sandy using nature of its medium.

    It's that way with the creation of works of original art with vector raster graphics and Imaging. You use the nature of the medium chosen to suggest of things like texture, lighting, etc..

    For example, go to Corel.com (I say this because that Corel is currently many examples for end-user near the root of the site) and click the link for more CorelDraw Graphics. Take a look at the combination of raster (including photography) and objects used in a single vector illustration.

    Is no longer either / or. You must be proficient in both raster and vector graphic based on. Then you will discover what your particular illustration style (s) can accomplish in one or the other or both types of programs.

  • Is it possible to create a composition widget in another widget of composition? If so, how?

    I am trying to create a site where the entire site is contained in a widget of composition rather than hyperlink menus. The only problem is that I need to have another widget to membership in one of the subsections for some content. I created two widgets but the additional widget does not appear in the appropriate section. When I activate the low mode, it keeps popping up as a separate publication on each single section. How can I make/move the composition in the region of the target of another composition?

    Same trigger can be used for different targets, you should place the containers and trigger inside the primary composition container and then it should show the expected behavior.

    Thank you

  • Problem opening Illustrator file created in a newer version

    I am trying to open an image file that was sent to me by someone who uses a newer version of the AI, I.  I'm working out of CS4.  I also work out of Windows if it matters.

    When I try to open it, a window pops up telling me she was created in a newer version and data loss can occur, I would like to import?  I click OK and then get a message which reads. "The document contains PDF objects which have been reinterpreted."  I click OK again, and it seems that the file is open.

    Except when it is open there is no image displayed.  He was in the lower left corner reads as follows:

    It is an Adobe Illustrator that has been saved without content PDF file.  Instead or open this file in other applications, it should be re-recorded in Adobe Illustrator with the option 'Create PDF Compatible file' lit.  This option is in the dialog box Options of Format native Illustrator, which appears when you save an Adobe Illustrator file by using the Save as command.

    I know that the image is there I can see it in preview on my computer.

    The preview of the file on Windows is something different. It is not vector data, but just a glimpse.

    Ask the person who sent the file to downsave to CS4 for you. Will be the best solution, because the PDF content is flattened in every possible way.

  • Date wrong on the folder created when importing picture

    Sometimes (at least 2 times) when I take pictures near the end, butween on 10-23:00 they are created in a folder with the date for the next day.

    Last time this happened, it was yesterday (2013-06-05). Almost all of the photos was automaticlly in the folder for 2013-06-05 for importation but 10 photos taken between 22:07-22:43 has been put into the folder, 2013-06-06.

    I'm using Lightroom 4.4 Swedish version.

    Is date/time-properties in Lightroom which is false (not Swedish time) or what it can be?

    Respect,

    / Martin

    There is an old bug in Lightroom that manifests when you import from a camera mount direct (i.e. import via card reader is not a problem). The bug causes essentially time GMT/UTC offset to be added to the capture date/time when you work on the date for the file to import. Note that the capture of files image date/time is NOT affected, it is only the date of the record.

    So in your case, I assumed that your computer time zone is GMT/UTC + 2, which means pictures taken after 22 hours would be placed in a folder with the date of the next day as the miscalculation took time after midnight, so the next today's date.

    Once you understand the nature of the bug, it's pretty easy to move the images poorly located in the correct folder... or better yet, use a card reader (which I think is safer anyway).
