Struggling to match a fabric color accurately? 🎨

In this video, I’ll show you how fabric-to-fabric color matching actually works and how you can achieve a much closer color match instead of relying on guesswork.

Whether you're a textile designer, digital textile printer, garment manufacturer, fashion designer, or someone working with fabric printing, understanding how colors behave on different fabrics is extremely important.

By the way anyone else love this new song from Mixed Up Everything?

Can someone please explain me how to deal with a printing of white background? I have some photos that I edited in photoshop to look like white background but it is not a mask so it is not 100% white. I am worried to not come out as a photo with grey muds and white spots with no ink. Should I do a mask then? Or it is save to print it as a photo since I will be sure there are no (255,255,255) in my picture?

Hi there, I'm looking for laptop recommendations. I've done minor photo editing and video creation on previous lightweight laptops that still had enough umph to run Photoshop pretty well, but find myself in the need of a new one. I'm far from a pro, but did spend a lot of time editing before my HP decided it was tired of me. I just need something that'll allow me to do things like edit videos my son takes of his kids racing, and create videos to post on social media and such. But here's the trick, I need it to be moderately priced😬 Like, well under $1,000? (I know🤦‍♀️ but hubby is disabled without retirement and the economy isn't fair.) And it has to be a laptop, not a desktop. I do have a Samsung Galaxy S10+ if that helps?

I’m pretty new to photography (around 7 months in), so I have a general understanding of things like compression, lossy formats, etc., but for the life of me, I can’t figure out the best way to post my photos to Instagram.

I’ve done some research on the max resolution and file size for photo uploads to Instagram, and from what I gather, 1440x1920px and 30MB is the max for a 3:4 photo.

Now, I have some scans of 6x9 negatives I found at a local flea market. I’m trying to add a white border to the edges so I can post the full frame. Here is my process on Photoshop:

Create new file
Width: 1440px
Height: 1920px
Resolution: 72px/inch
Color mode: Grayscale, 8 bit
Background contents: white
Color profile: dot gain 20%
Pixel aspect ratio: square pixels

Then, I save it as a JPEG and set the quality to 12, which gives me a 1.2MB file.

As a test, I saved the original scan as a JPEG at full dimensions (7032x10157px, 29.7MB), then posted both the 1.2MB photo and the 29.7MB photo on Instagram to compare the two. I’ve included screenshots of both Instagram posts. The difference in quality is undeniable. Obviously the 29.7MB photo appears much higher quality. I have no idea why this is happening. Everything I’ve read so far has indicated that the 29.7MB photo would be aggressively compressed and end up looking far worse than a photo that’s under the max size.

Please, can anyone can clarify why this is happening and help me figure out how to add a white border to my photo while maintaining as much quality as possible?

EDIT: As soon as I posted this, it occurred to me that Reddit also compressed images, so the difference in quality between the two screenshots doesn’t appear as stark on here as it does for me.

can someone tell me how to remove shadow band while keeping hair definition?

I have a ten-page InDesign layout, and I'd like to edit the whole thing in Photoshop. Is this possible.

How do I create this effect? ​​The creator herself mentioned that it’s a blend of the "Cutout" and "Oil Paint" filters, but no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to replicate it. I’d really appreciate a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this look and what settings to use for each filter.

I'm trying to recreate the text shadow effect shown in the attached image. I’ve already made the shadow using the Transform & Copies method, and I’ve tried applying gradients in multiple ways (including rotating the canvas), but I can’t seem to achieve one specific part of the effect. The main thing I’m missing is the vertical gradient along the edges of the letters, especially noticeable on the straight edges of the “I”, “G” and “A”.

My guess is that the original effect was somehow created by blending/merging several copies of the text around the middle of the shadow, but whenever I try blurring or blending the copies, the entire shadow gets blurry and I lose those crisp edges.

Does anyone know how this effect is actually achieved? Is there a specific combination of Transform, Blend, gradients, appearance effects, etc. that would produce this result while keeping the shadow edges sharp?

If it’s not achievable in Photoshop, tips for Illustrator or Affinity are also welcome. Thanks in advance!
