Easily the best "Blend-If" explanation and demonstration there is. Adobe, can you hear me? Great job.

My same exact thoughts. There's a lot of pretty good explanations of it on YT but this is on a whole another level.

Posterize is a word derived from poster, like the print on your wall. Both ‘o’ letters are pronounced the same.

@marilynisaacs7739 4 ай бұрын

Hi! I had a bit of a problem with your Action. When I ran it, after the first Blend If and color selection (white) was completed, I hit OK...but a message came up saying: the command "Delete" is not currently available. Below it was "Stop" and "Continue". I tried this several times, and it never worked. Ultimately, I imported my image into Illustrator, did a 6-color Trace and Expand, and that's how I completed my project. Can you please let me know where I went wrong? Prior to this, your directions were fantastic - on target...until I tried vectorizing with the Action.

@floresarts 3 ай бұрын

I learned something new today. I always thought it was pronounced POE-sterize because originally posters were printed by pressing inked wooden blocks of letters or engravings onto paper. Each additional ink color on a poster required another pass through the printing press so you'd make your art just a few bold colors to save time and money.

Does it work with simple black and white raster logos? Because Make Path is really inaccurate, it just creates something which snaps or not on the original lines.

Hi… I’m struggling to download the blend action I have no option to export it in photoshop do I need to do this part or can you help me work it out? Thanks Sam

@donlee_ohhh 5 ай бұрын

If you have Adobe Illustrator you can skip all the steps of turning different layers into vector art. Import your image directly into Adobe Illustrator & choose a "Convert to Paths" preset that fits your needs (preset may need adjusting but make sure to save your adjustments as a new preset) then "convert to paths" & you're done.

@Pixivu 5 ай бұрын

Good idea! However, I believe that exporting the output image from PS to AI would take as long (or maybe longer) than using the action.

@donlee_ohhh 5 ай бұрын

All you have to do is export it once as a PNG, JPG or whatever format. No exporting as layers. Send me a file I could do it right now, it's very quick & I'm only running Adobe Creative Suite 5@@Pixivu I used to do it all the time for work.

@donlee_ohhh 5 ай бұрын

Unless I have missed something about your desired outcome, in which case I apologize but I'm pretty sure my process will get you there.

@Pixivu 5 ай бұрын

@donlee_ohhh Of course, your process works. I even explained something similar to it in one of my previous videos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erSBlbSqu8_RfoE.html. I mean jumping between 2 software might take a bit longer, the action actually takes a few seconds too. It is a matter of seconds I mean.

@CobraFat2000 4 ай бұрын

If you have an internet connection to download free stuff - this can be easily done in Inkscape (to trace and convert to actual vectors) and then do the same touch ups in GIMP (back to raster). Then slowly extend the middle fingers towards Adobe in real life. To use three different tools combined might feel cumbersome at first.

Would you say the results are better than using Illustrator’s tools for vectorizing? (live trace) It looks like maybe it is, but it’s a lot more laborious.

@Pixivu 5 ай бұрын

Nothing hard here I think, All you need to do is create your own PSD file as explained in the "Create the Effect" chapter. and download the free action and use it with your PSD file to easily repeat the process as described in the last chapter.

Hello and welcome! I am happy that you liked it. With the free action, you will need to create the PSD file first as explained in the tutorial. but the premium action can perform this step without requiring a PSD file. yes you can with the help of Illustrator, check this tutorial: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erSBlbSqu8_RfoE.html

All of a sudden my action does not work. It says when I try to pick a colour with the colour picker "Could not use the eye dropper because of a program error". I have reloaded Photoshop, tried a different computer and it stills does not work. Is there a fix for this?

@milesvanyperen3539 3 ай бұрын

I've been using the action for several weeks and it's been working great until now. When the Blend IF Vector Creator action is at the point of using the eye dropper from the Color Picker menu I get an error. ('Could not use the eye dropper tool because of a program error') My Photoshop is up to date, did an update mess with your Action? I've rebooted with no luck.

Please get back to the previous version of Photoshop. The latest version has a reported bug related to the eyedropper tool.
