I have a very large background image (about 940x940 pixels) and I'm wondering if anyone has tips for compressing a file this large further than Photoshop can handle? The best compression without serious loss of quality from Photoshop is PNG 8 (250 KB); does anyone know of a way to compress an image down further than this (maybe compress a PNG after it's been saved)? I don't normally deal with optimizing images this large, so I was hoping someone would have some pointers. Have a look at http://www.irfanview.com/ , is an oldy but a goody. Have found this is able to do multipass png compression

I have a multilanguage website and need automate the process of updating textlayers in psd-files from a csv-source. I know that there might be glitches in the psp because of changed widths, but anyway it would help a lot to have the text inside the documents. What are my options? EDIT: Murmelschlurmel has a working solution. Here is the link to the Adobe documentation. http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/10.0/help.html?content=WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-740d.html The format of the csv-file is not so nice: you need a column for each variable. I would expect a row for each

Photoshop has a lot of cool artistic filters , and I'd love to understand the underlying algorithms. One algorithm that's particularly interesting is the Cutout filter (number 2 at the link above). It has three tunable parameters, Number of Levels, Edge Simplicity, and Edge Fidelity. Number of levels appears to drive a straightforward posterization algorithm, but what the other sliders do technically eludes me. I would think that they're doing something related to Vornoi diagrams or k-means partitionion, but poking around on wikipedia hasn't resulted in anything that maps obviously to what

I have thousands of psd files to save as png. The psd files are not different, except for a small text in the center of a image. Is there a way to automate the job? Christopher Marshall Yes. Open your actions window. Create new action. Record yourself opening, saving the file as png and closing the file. Then under File -> Automate -> Batch. Point it to your psd folder and select your action. It should run through the files saving them as pngs. A quick google search may help if you're new to actions. edited per author input :} XnView does the job pretty well. It can batch convert most files

I am trying to get a specified set from Flickr and then display the images in that set using the JSON and REST API. Here is the code I am using: $.getJSON("http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photosets.getPhotos&api_key=xxx&set=72157623858739780&format=json&jsoncallback=?", function(data){ $.each(data.items, function(i,item){ $("<img/>").attr("src", item.media.m).appendTo("#images"); }); }); I removed the api key from the example. The url with my key in it, when typed into my web browser, returns the following error: jsonFlickrApi({"stat":"fail", "code":1, "message":"Photoset

Provided utility looks bad, for example it does not allow to do "Save As", or to draw several button states with similar slicing. Is it possible to draw 9.png in photoshop? I noticed, that generated png just contains black pixels in outer edge. Is this what is marking the slices? What if black pixels present in two opposite edges, how does this work? Are outer edges cut off when displayed on android? Yes, I do all of my nine patches in Photoshop. Here are the basic rules for creating a 9-patch: The outer 1px margin can contain only 100% black (RGB 0, 0, 0) or fully transparent. The black

In a project I'm working on, we're pulling over a bunch of YouTube videos that our media team has published into a database so we can present them as related content. Something we'd like to be able to do is overlay a play button on top of the generated YouTube thumbnails so it's more obvious that the thumbnail represents a video that can be played. I'm looking for the best way to accomplish this - I've done some searching and either no one is interested in doing this, it's really obvious how to do it or I'm just struggling to come up with the right search terms. The ways I've come up with so

Does anyone know how adjustment layers work in Photoshop? I need to generate a result image having a source image and HSL values from Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Conversion to RGB and then multiplication with the source color does not work. Or is it possible to replace Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer with normal layers with appropriately set blending modes (Mulitiply, Screen, Hue, Saturation, Color, Luminocity,...)? If so then how? Thanks I've reverse-engineered the computation for when the "Colorize" checkbox is checked . All of the code below is pseudo-code . The inputs are: hueRGB ,
