For the past weeks I've been fooling aroudn photshop and for the life of me I can't seem to get this to work :help: :help:. I figuired out how to put a nice border around the pictures along with the copy right text but what I'd like to do is "feather" the background and I haven't been able to figuire this out I kid you not I've spent weeks trying to figuire out how to do it but nothing I've Googled the bloody thing :computer: and nothing actually by Googeling I found out some wicked tips :reading: but the "feathering" affect is what's missing. When I say "feathering" perhaps I'm not using the appropriate terminology but here is an example of what I'm after...this picture comes from Clark from Polished Blissed UK...wicked detailer by the way :wicked: Do you see what I mean, see the nice border around the picture but it's not a standard border it has a nice "feather" effect to it. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Say what sneek? Sorry I don't think I'm understand what your saying buddy :wall: oh wait I think I get you...your asking me if I meant water mark?...um what is water mark? Clark (owner of this pictures I posted) said it was a "feathering" affect so that's why I call it that.
ooohhhh nvm i am in bio class and i only 1/2 read what you posted. Borders are under modify. There is software that can water mark and border a batch of pictures all at once. No need to do them one at a time. You can use photo shops to make cool animations though.
Sorry Nica, I cannot help you with Photoshop but I just use the little program that came with my digital camera and I use that. I think it comes with any Canon camera that you buy.
Oh Jayplay you the man buddy that's exactly what I was looking for :thumb: Thank you I'll give it a go when I get home. I think pictures look really sharp with this feather technique. You UK boys have wicked taste :wicked:
7. Feather the image: Now, choose "select / feather" and choose a radius of 4 to 12 pixels to determine the width of feathered edge. You may not see a change, but just continue to the next step. 8. Copy and paste image Now choose "edit / copy" and then "new". Photoshop will automatically open a new image box the same size as the one you copied. Now choose "edit / paste" and the feathered image should show up in the box you just opened. 9. Save the new image Select "edit / save" and you're done unless you want to "edit/copy/paste" your feathered image onto another image. Okay so I finally managed to get the feather effect :gidiup: :applause2: Now the steps above are from the site that Jayplay refered me to http://www.loriswebs.com/tutorials/featherededges.html I have some questions. Is it necesary to do step#8? Why won't the change come up on step#7 How can I do this feather effect for hundreds of pictures? I can do a regular border and I just use the Batch feature on Photoshop but the feather effect I'm a bit confused becuase I have to open a new page/window and paste the picture on new page/window then save it and then close all the windows? This method works for just one or two pictures but perhaps I'm missing something can I still use the Batch feature? Any help would be great :beerbang:
Okay I finally got it...wooohoooo..I got the feather effect :gidiup: :gidiup: :gidiup: Sweet...only took me a few weeks :meditation: :dance: I'll post a picture shortly to show you guys :chest:
Batch Watermark Creator there are a bunch. Photo Frame Maker is probably the best though. Let me do some more diggine. I am a mac guy so my windows knowledge is a but rusty.
