Photoshop - Questions and Discussion

Here is a place for you to talk about Photoshop (any version). You may ask questions, give tips, discuss features and plugins, share brushes and other presets, or anything else generally related to Photoshop and manga.

Please do not ask for or post download links to pirated versions of Photoshop. Leave such things to Google's question answering magic.


This sticky was patched together from all previous threads that fit this category, so you will notice some posts that are edited by me and have different post times, that's so that the posts stayed in the same order. Also the actual creation date of this sticky is May 31st, 2011.

I'm having an interesting problem in PS. I scan an image and the grays come out fine.. looking like this in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer:

However, when I open the same file in PS the gray areas get distorted into this:

Anyone know what causes that and what I can do to fix it? Thanks

windows picture etc anti-analize the pixels when zooming in, photoshop on the otherhand zoomes in the picture without anti-analizing it thus showing you how it truly looks.it isnt a problem its just the diffrent ways about how photoshop and another viewing program handels zooming in on images

there is no fix, its called pixels, and check your compression to, save your scans without compression prefferable in png, tiff, tga etc..

Yup he drew my chracter so im representing lol. So the gradient tool eh...i'll give it a try

A layer with gradient and then set it on multiply.
If you want it to be noisey like the one in the example go to filter>noise>add noise and set on 3% or so.

LOL, glad we could be of help ^^

Starting out with Photo Shop is hard, there are just too many functions, but once you get used to it... its the best program in the world... you can virtually do everything with it (ok, maybe you can't make coffee with it, but you know what i mean).
