How to design 3D logos like this? Yes, however, you can render at any resolution you'd like, non-destructively, whenever you'd like, much like an EPS. So if you need 72 dpi for screen and 300 dpi for print, it's all the same... 3D is very much like vector, the (non-shader) textures are the raster portion, but everything else is quite scaleable—and if the raster information is even average resolution it should not be an issue unless you're very close to a low res surface. Cheers! |

How to make an image look like it's been printed ...Also, I'd like to agree with the sentiment, that nothing beats the real thing, and that if you can take a photo of your background/subject image and then impose on that, then great as 3D isn't always the best/right choice... it's just an variation on a workflow. In addition, you could order an embossing stamp from a stationary store for less than $100.00 and actually do it for real. Cheers! |

How to make an image look like it's been printed @RKS: Not necessarly. Illustrator would be good but rather ridged in it's effect. Photoshop may be a better way to go, using the standard Layer Effects, or using a combination of Photoshops' (CS6 Extended) 3D tools, material textures, and Layer Mask effects. I've posted an illustration on the 3D method below. |

Photoshop blurring peaks (it's hard to describe in text) Oh! I just realized, you can do the same thing in Photoshop CS6 using Filters>Blur>Tilt-Shift..., without having to define a selection at all. Better yet, if you convert the layer to a Smart Object (Smart Filter) you can apply the Tilt-Shift blur non-destructively. Cheers! |

How to slightly rotate my photography images with a little twist of 3d perspective? I agree, it might seam like a sledghammer for tac, but since a designer probably already has Photoshop open... Here's another example for the same thing that someone else asked. The 3D camera and Blur in the last image are a cool effect. graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/6791/… |

How to design 3D logos like this? +1's for Photoshop's 3D tools and user experience refresh. I can't post an image in the comments so I'll post one below of a quick example of the first logo. Cheers! |

exporting layers to files and applying the background image to all layers @KMSTR: Using Layer Comps and then File—>Scripts—>Layer Comps to Files is not a bad way to go. Fist create a Keyboard shortcut for Layer Panel menu > New Layer Comp and then quickly turn off/on the "changing" layer, then hit the mapped Keyboard short and repeat. If there's 80-100 and it take about 2 seconds to press the key and turn on and off the layer he should be done within 3-4 minutes and then can use the script without all that extra clean-up as they will be the final as requested. Cheers! |

Stretching an image along a path @BHare: The only way you can "easily" wrap an image to a path would be to use the Warp Mesh Transform Tool—enter the Transform Selection mode (Command+T on Mac), then in the Option Tool Bar click on the Warp Mesh icon. You'll probably want to start with an image that has plenty of resolution and then after you complete your shaping, copy and paste it into your working document. In addition, you may have to apply the warp mesh twice in order to keep control of the shape. Using the Warm Transform will provide you with much more control than using Liquify. Cheers! |

Stretching an image along a path This actually is a readable barcode believe it or not, but only in some areas with proper width aligned information; I just made the lines shorter, which is allowable, as creating and managing a MIS was my job at one time, and a barcode was my fist companies logo. You seam to be laboring under the false idea that I used a font from dafont.com—I just suggested that's where he may find one as some fixed width barcode fonts can be pricy... And you still have to encode the data. |

Is there a way to copy layers from one Photoshop document to another? When dragging layers from one document to another, pressing Shift when release the mouse will align to the center of the destination document. Cheers! (^_^) |
