Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Repousse

[MiloTheGhost]

what do you do at 0:42 ???

[ajwood2001]

@MiloTheGhost - thank you for the comment. I've added an annotation at :41 you need to CMD+Click (Mac) or CTRL+Click (PC) the thumbnail icon for Layer 1 to load the layer as a selection. My apologies for not highlighting that step.

[MiloTheGhost]

@ajwood2001 Ok thank ya.

[ErimoKaravi]

question.... i don't have in my menu of cs5 anything about 3D button....

so 1) why? and 2) how can i get it?

[ajwood2001]

@ErimoKaravi - there are two versions of Photoshop. One is Photoshop CS 5.5 Standard Edition. The other is Photoshop CS 5.5 Extended Edition. The Extended comes with the 3D tools. If you tell me you do not have a 3D menu, without seeing your machine I would venture you have the Standard Edition.

[thend2505082]

i have adobe photoshop cs5 extended edition and the 3d button, but i don't know how i can activate the repouseé.

[IcdOutTV]

Can some please to me how i can get repousse on my cs5 exteneded

[BeautyBoyTV]

Does 5.5 Master still have Repousse? I am considering upgrading because I don't have repousse currently... @_@

[ajwood2001]

@BeautyBoyTV - yes, Photoshop CS5.5 has Repousse. It's important to know there are TWO versions of Photoshop. Photoshop CS5.5 Standard edition does not include any of the 3D tools including Repousse. You want to purchase Photoshop CS5.5 Extended edition.

[BlackedVideo]

@ajwood2001 you mean like the x64 version is the standard ? cuz i have both versions and on x64 i dont have repousse

[ajwood2001]

@BlackedVideo - there are two versions of Photoshop. One is Photoshop CS 5.5 Standard Edition. The other is Photoshop CS 5.5 Extended Edition. The Extended comes with the 3D tools. If you tell me you do not have a 3D menu, without seeing your machine I would venture you have the Standard Edition.

[BlackedVideo]

@ajwood2001 i got my repousse to work but the outline is like fucked up how do i make it better quality ?

[ajwood2001]

@BlackedVideo - check the view at 100% to be sure you're seeing the actual render.

[BlackedVideo]

[ajwood2001]

@BeBeAyumiReturns - the logo & After Effects animation were created by J Schuh aka the Texas Animator. :^)

[royalconcrete1]

what kind of graphics card do you have? Actually, I'd love to know about your whole system, please

[ajwood2001]

@royalconcrete1 - I use both an iMac and a Mac Pro tower, fitted with 8 GB RAM & 1GB video cards.

[TheDmj1873]

I Need Help, Repousse Wont Pop Up Even After I Select My Layer

[ajwood2001]

@TheDmj1873 IF you are working with a pixel layer, then you must make an active selection of the layer content. You can use any Selection Tool to activate the pixels, but the simplest method is to CTRL+Click (PC) or CMD+Click (Mac) on the layer in the Layers Panel.

cinema 4d FTW

[sIGHTcss]

you say 'aye' to much its so anoying

[dapizz1]

Good, but you forgot to mention that Repousse is a CS5 Extended only feature. It doesn't come with the standard edition. ;D

[dennext]

"the command repousse from the text layer is not currently available"....huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu­h

[ajwood2001]

@dennext without seeing your computer, my educated guess would be your video card doesn't have the proper OpenGL support. You can check your preferences in Photoshop to make sure your hardware is supported.

[edsenpunkrock]

I dont know how to activate the repousse

[ajwood2001]

@edsenpunkrock - to activate repousse you need to select either a text layer, a layer mask, a selected path or an active selection. Once you do that, Repousse will activate on the 3D menu.

[iMpAcTxGamingD]

On windows you need a 64-bit right

[ajwood2001]

@iMpAcTxGamingD - to see the 3D tools you should be running Photoshop Extended. This can be a bit confusing because you could have Photoshop CS4-CS5 standard edition.

[TheNextStyle]

how do i make an active selection? sorry im bad

[ajwood2001]

@TheNextStyle - you can make a layer an active selection by holding the CMD key (Mac) or CTRL key (PC) and left-clicking the layer.

[olgaperry]

@ajwood2001

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O)

[esplugas3]

@ajwood2001 that doesnt work. i still cant click it.

[ajwood2001]

@esplugas3 - I'm looking through the thread, but I don't see your original question. Can you repeat please?

[esplugas3]

@ajwood2001 the question is how to make an active selection. what u said, it didnt work

[ajwood2001]

@esplugas3 - Ah. When using the CMD key (CTRL key on PC) to make a layer an Active Selection, be sure your cursor is pointing at the thumbnail of the layer. You will know your cursor is positioned correctly because a Marquee symbol shows up on the cursor. You also want to be sure that the layer itself is highlighted in the layers panel.

[esplugas3]

@ajwood2001 thanks and that is what i did, but the repousse still doesnt show up.

[ajwood2001]

@esplugas3 - if the command is greyed out, a simple test would be to create a new document, add a type layer, then goto the 3D menu to choose Repousse then Text. IF the command is still greyed out, then it points to the video hardware on your machine doesn't support OpenGL. Also, the 3D commands are part of Photoshop CS5 Extended edition, so if you don't have the menu at all it might be you're using Photoshop Standard.

[esplugas3]

@ajwood2001 i got it!!! thanks!!

[ajwood2001]

@esplugas3 groovy! So now that we know the command works, you should be able to run it on a layer as well. Have a great day!

[esplugas3]

@ajwood2001 it works for some. it says about the faux bold style. whats that?

[esplugas3]

@ajwood2001 one more thing. do u know how to disable your faux bold style?

[ajwood2001]

@esplugas3 - look at your character panel, make sure the Faux Bold option is off. You can access this via the panel's option menu or click the Faux Bold button (first "T" button bottom half of character panel).

[esplugas3]

@ajwood2001 where is the character panel??? sorry i sound so dumb. still learning.

[ajwood2001]

@esplugas3 - no worries. All the panels are listed under the Window menu. You can also access the panel by using the options bar when the Type tool is selected. (There's a button for the character panel there).

[ajwood2001]

@Designing5 - you're welcome. I appreciate all the support of my subscribers. :^)

[folken692000]

I have watched a million photoshop tutorials in my day and have to say that this one was EXACTLY what I needed. Clearly explained and illustrated and I could not flaw the presentation in any way. What a pleasure to watch, thank you!

[ajwood2001]

@folken692000 - thanks so much for your comment. It's a pleasure to know that folks such as yourself find the information useful. :^)

[happygamestvfun1]

just use bleender for frucks sakes its free!

[BeautyBoyTV]

@happygamestvfun1

Some of us are professionals.. If you don't like Photoshop, why do you go around trolling Photoshop videos?

[fraydarkness]

i feel very stupid asking this, but how do you make the selection? please reply quickly :)

[ajwood2001]

@fraydarkness to select an object on a layer, hold the CMD (Mac) or CTRL (PC) key then left-click on the layer. The object should now be in a selection marquee.

[KrawChomiak]

Friend, I can repoussoir put option, select the empty layer, in a letter, a Vector but nothing happens! : (

[ajwood2001]

@KrawChomiak make sure the layer is selected, make sure your selection is not empty.

[divinemizery]

Great tutorial. Most tutorials only show this technique for text.

Thanx!

[TheSpiXeL]

I made selection but I still can't click on respousse! Why? :(

[ajwood2001]

@TheSpiXeL without seeing your screen, I would assume what happened is you made a selection, but in the Layers panel the actual layer was not selected (highlighted). Make sure the layer is active AND you have a selection on screen.

[akumazilla]

@ajwood2001 if the layer is selected and the option is still grayed out, then you need to upgrade your graphics card

[ajwood2001]

@akumazilla Yes, a decent graphics card is a must have upgrade for Photoshop CS4 & CS5.
