Question by Max: How do you color in a brush in Photoshop CS4?
I am new to Photoshop and was wondering how exactly you color in a brush.
To let you see what i mean exactly here is a link.

Here you see some brushes. How exactly do you color a brush like that. I have the brushes but don’t know exactly how to do this. Do you have a tutorial or a you tube clip that can demonstrate how this is done. I don’t know exactly what to search for. Searching for”coloring brush” for example brings techniques i that are too simple for this. So if you can help me I’d be grateful

Answer by ilan
you decompress the brushes in your photoshops presets /brushes folder, they become available in photoshop when you start it; the brushes can be not just strokes and patterns but also objects and elements. take a looksy and you’ll see what i mean. 🙂

Your layer settings are Normal and layer opacity and fill are 100%?

Perhaps you are painting on a layer mask, rather than on a painting layer?

Maybe the blending mode of the brush or of the layer is wrong.

Q&A: How to color photoshop brush multiple colors?

Posted on by admin Leave a comment

Question by Kristy Nicole: How to color photoshop brush multiple colors?
http://qbrushes.net/downloads/images/full-preview/Ribbons_brushes_by_Rozairo.jpg

I’ve downloaded these brushes but can’t for the love of God figure out how to make them multicolored as shown in the preview image. I’ve toggled the switches under brushes > color dynamics with no luck. I’ve also tried applying a gradient over the brush but naturally it just goes across the brush horizontally or vertical, whatever you choose, instead of going along the seams like the image shows. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer:

Answer by P&G
This isn’t done with a multicolor brush. It’s done with a series of layers and modes.
•Create a black background layer
•Make a new transparent layer above that
•Make another new layer and set the mode to Color Dodge
•Fill the Color Dodge layer with a colorful gradient
•Move back to the middle layer and paint with a white brush
•Wherever you paint, the gradient will be visible
The look in your sample is achieved by using stroked vectors and/or filled selections. Then manipulating the whole group with the Warp Transformation. Experiment with it and develop a look that’s unique to you.

Which color management setting in Photoshop CS4 provides the best monitor-to-paper output?

Posted on by admin Leave a comment

Question by JJ: Which color management setting in Photoshop CS4 provides the best monitor-to-paper output?
I do a lot of printing from my photoshop, and I’m looking for the setting that will provide me with colors as close as possible to the colors on my screen. Can someone please help me with these?

Answer:

Answer by vbmica
This is a difficult question to answer since it is a complicated process which is beyond the scope of most answers here. this is what I would do to start:

1. Use only the printer manufacturer’s ink and papers to start with.
2. Make sure you select the proper paper when you are in the print dialog boxes.
3. Use high quality settings

This should get you close.

If you are not happy with the results, then you need to calibrate your monitor, use ICC profiles for printing and choose the correct color space for your images.

Your printed images will never match the screen images exactly – reflected light off the paper is different than transmitted light from the screen.

Hope this helps some.

You can’t actually get those colors you can only fake them by using a light grey and a dark grey with touches of white.

What color profile to set in photoshop cs4 on lenovo t60p laptop?

Posted on by admin Leave a comment

Question by Magdalena K: What color profile to set in photoshop cs4 on lenovo t60p laptop?
Does anyone know how to get the colors right? cos they seem to be different in photoshop when i edit, different when i open raw image, different in bridge.. Is it possible that its the screen that messes the colors up? i tried everything!

Answer:

Answer by fhotoace
One of my notebooks is a Lenovo.

The brand notebook really does not have much to do with managing colour in Photoshop.

What is important is that 1) you use some kind of monitor calibration tool and 2) use a colour workspace that matches the final output.

Final output:

Photographic prints or use on the Internet = sRGB at 300 PPI
Print media (magazines and other printed material) = RGBAdobe (150 PPI for magazines, 80 PPI for newspapers)

The least expensive monitor calibration tool is the Pantone Huey

http://reviews.cnet.com/desktop-monitors-displays-accessories/pantone-huey/4505-6513_7-31792026.html

While the Colour RGB workspace is sRGB, once you establish a new ICC profile for your monitor using your monitor calibration tool, that new profile will become the standardized RGB workspace used on that computer

Here is a book you will find to be one you will eventually want to buy, but for now, look for it in your local library. CMYK 2.0 by Rick McCleary

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/cmyk2.shtml

This book describe in detail how to manage colour workspaces and how to become the guardian of colour while the image files are in your custody.
