How to you change the background color of an image in photoshop cs?

The easiest and quickest way is by using the Background Color Picker on the floating toolbar.

At the very bottom of the toolbar, there are 2 color squares overlapping each other - the top is the foreground, the bottom is the background. Click on the background and use the eyedropper tool to pick the color you want, or enter the value in the boxes.

You can also set the default background color from the Preferences panel (Edit - Preferences).

depends on the program you are using. in ms Paint or Photoshop you can do Save As. and pick .gif (compuserve gif its sometimes called) from the file type menu. in Fireworks you can export it as a gif.

How do you install Gimp brushes on a mac?

try going on google and copy and paste a brush into gimp, then save it ask a brush, then refresh your brush gallery

EDIT- his way fails.

Find a website that has a lot of brushes that you can download

like (brusheezy.com).

Click download, go to your downloaded content area (after it's done downloading) double click on the latest installed brushes..click on extract (you'll see it on the topper corner of the file you just double clicked).. and then choose a file to extract on, (click on "mycomputer"..or if you changed the name of it then just click on that.), then click on gimp 2.6 and then click on brushes and finally click extract again.

You need to close Gimp 2.6 and then re-open it for the brushes to install.

This easy tutorial feature is for Windows users only, i am not sure about Mac users.

Google chrome users:

Download>select file> double click on file> extract file> select "mycomputer" or what ever you named it>click on Gimp 2.6>click on brushes> extract file.

How do you make movies using photos?

The technique is called stop-motion animation. A number of still pictures are taken one at a time, and in between each frame the subject is moved slightly. The series of stills with the slight movements between frames becomes animated movement when the still frames are linked together. The so-called claymation productions use this technique, and it dates back well before those figures. Gumby and Wallace and Grommet are a couple more examples. The feature film Chicken Run used this technique. A link can be found below to the informational post on stop-motion in Wikipedia.

What is difference between low resolution and high resolution photos?

digital (higher res): more pixels making the same image = larger image and larger file size. Even if the picture is re-sized by software, the file size does not change unless it is cropped or compressed. Compression usually lowers resolution.

b&w film (higher res): more grains of black metallic silver in the same size image. This is primarily accomplished by using slower ISO rated film. Not to be confused with acutance (sharpness due to developer/development).

color film: same as b&w except bms is replaced by dye "spots".

What is the difference between Pantone and CMYK?

First of all, Pantone is the brand name of an organization that released an international color standard. You are probably referring to the difference between spot colors and CMYK since most artists are referring to spot colors when referencing Pantone.


PANTONE
A Pantone Spot Color is a pre-mixed ink color that adheres strictly to the international standard for that color. Ink manufacturers cater these inks to exact specs and send them to printing companies on-demand. The press operators can then drop the custom ink into the press and out comes the color.


CMYK
The most common form of printing uses 4 ink colors arranged in an intricate pattern of dots to generate colorful images. If you open up your inkjet printer you should be able to see those same colors on your ink cartridges. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black; otherwise referred to as CMYK. These are called process colors and are often seen in commercial printing. For most print applications, this form of printing is sufficient. However, there are limitations. 1) The color gamut is relatively narrow in certain areas such as blue and fluorescent colors. 2) If a precise color needs to be matched, the printer would opt for a spot color. 3) Lighter colors such as gray will show the dots when viewed up close. A spot color can print 100% solid.

How do you crop a photo on an iPad?

What is the best image size for digital pictures?

If you plan to have them on paper, 2 MP (Mega pixels) 1600x1200 Pixels- is good for high quality 4X6 inches picture, or acceptable quality 8X10 inches picture. 3MP (2048x1536 pixels) is good for high quality 8x10 inches picture and acceptable quality: 10 x 13 inches picture If you plan to view then on-screen, or share via email or website, (smaller size take less time to upload), less then 2MP (mega pixels) is better. Reduce the size to 800x600 pixels, 640x480 pixels or 320x240 pixels , because most computers today have a monitor resolution of 1024x768 pixels. Larger than that, means that is too large for the screen and you have to use your mouse to slide the bar up and down, left and right in order to view the complete picture. Rodrigo-Digo

What are some similarities between a bitmap graphic and a vector graphic?

Where to buy gimp?

GIMP is an open-source program for use in editing and manipulating photos, much like Photoshop. Because it is open-source, it is free. You can download it from their website at http://www.gimp.org/.

The difference between images and graphics?

Text can be edited for example by changing one letter in to another letter:

Example:

BOOT > BOAT

The second "O" has been changed into an "A" Thsi hadÅ› nothing to do with the image on screen it is an edit in the code behind the presentation and would change the "O" to an "A" in any typeface or font size.

If you look real closely at your monitor you should be able to see that the image is built up of small dots that really are red green and blue, these are called sub-pixels. Each group of a red, green and blue sub-pixel is a pixel (picture element).

Graphics can be pixel base or vector based.

Graphics that are pixel-based, when enlarged get "jaggy" - diagonal lines become like stairs (change your screen resolution to 400 x 600 or something low to get an idea or use the Ctrl and + key in your browser when looking at images),. Editing pixel graphics is a matter of changing the red green and blue value of pixels.

Vector graphics are more like the SHAPE of the letters on your screen (most of them anyway are vector based. With vector graphics a mathematical representation of a curve is defined as the edge of a shape and this can be enlarged indefinitely without those "jaggies" appearing.

Vector graphics can also define changes from one color to another mathematically so that the transition is smooth"

Aptitude of a graphic designer?

It's very rare as a graphic designer to have any potential for advancement. I'm not trying to bum you out or turn you off from this field. I love this field. But if you're not working for someone like a magazine company that puts out seven or eight titles, a big daily newspaper or a large advertising agency, you're going to be the only graphic designer in the company. Hence, there's no potential for advancement because there's nowhere for you to advance to. If you're working for a big agency or a magazine company you could get promoted to art director or creative director, and a newspaper will have a design supervisor. In most cases, though, you're all there is. The other way to look at this is, you start out at the top in graphic design.
You can climb up the ladder and become Art Director or Design Director, but often Graphic Designers start their own businesses as a move up.
