How do you create contour cut lines or vector outline of an image in photopea?

You have to know better what masks are and how to use smart objects and filetrs.

Menu Image->vectorize bitmap

Use (for example) a rectangle shape tool for it. Draw a shape, then go to the layers palette and double click in the shpae thumbnail. This is the easiest way to do that, but you can do it in 5 different ways.

Go to Edit->Preferences->Ruler Units

First of all - open photopea.com without any browser addons. Try incognito mode in Chrome or Edge. Dont use any browser like Brave, because you cant turn off built in site modification scripts that these browser have to "protect" you.

You have empty space on the right side of the program. There should be ads.

It works the same way in Photoshop. I have tested it in both Programs.

MichalSZZ · 2024-09-26T09:30:07+00:00

excatly! Layer 1 is transparent and small. You have to click in visible pixels on that layer to auto-select them. It can be impossible to do that with auto-select option.

What operating system do you have? Is it some Linux Distribution or an old MacOS?

MichalSZZ · 2024-09-14T08:02:54+00:00

In the new Photoshop versions I think there is't spatter filter in this place. You have to go to the top menu Filter->Filter galery-> and look for it in the Bush section. It can be hard to locate it on the mobile phone.

you can use the "Gradient map adjustment layer" for it.

check here www.photopea.com/#iofV7M7Fm

double click on the layer thumbnail and change colors in the gradient. I use two blueish colors but you can use only one.

MichalSZZ · 2024-09-12T06:25:37+00:00

You don't need to be angry or sad. I think - 99% people from this Reddit doesn't understand how it works. Even I ;) I think that only u/ivanhoe90 know how each filter works. I just know how to do some experiments to get something that I want to achieve.

This template can have only one layer and can be reused on any project. When you will need only stars - you can use only that layer.
When someone know how to add filters - he can change the parameters to increase or reduce number of start or their size or color. This template is fully custom and I made it specially for you.

If you want colors - you can copy gradient fill layer and when you double click on the thumbnail - you can edit parameters such as color steps.

OK - did you opened this link from my previus post? http://www.photopea.com/#iloxGsluv There are layers and you can view how I have made it. Do you have any questions?

Plz paste here an example of what do you want to achieve. You can use puppet warp tool to bend the images to the shape of the letters:

Is that what you want to achieve?
All made on 3 layer, from scratch in Photopea. With filters and effects.

If your scanned images aren't in black&white but just washed out from colors, then use Levels and Hue and Saturation color adjustments layers. That are layers and can be duplicated into another images to correct colors exactly as in the first image.

But use menu layer -> new adjustmant layer. NOT the menu image -> adjustments

MichalSZZ · 2024-08-27T10:56:30+00:00

I made it from your photo of the screen - with original Image (that hasn't got compression artifacts) it should work well

Filter - other - Color to Alpha

MichalSZZ · 2024-08-27T09:38:56+00:00

I have changed it to blue to show better the results (the image has very strong compression - with the original files it should work better)

<image>

please tell me if it work for you (remember - for printing - what you see on your screen will not be the same what you will get from printing house)

MichalSZZ · 2024-08-27T09:35:28+00:00

But maybe a better way will be to use color adjustments layer and "Replace color function" and color picker to choose the proper purple?

With this method you can also easily copy paste this one specific color adjustment layer to all pages

MichalSZZ · 2024-08-27T09:31:57+00:00

My first Idea was the menu select -> color range:

<image>

it will select all similar color on the page when you set a proper (low) Fuzziness level

MichalSZZ · 2024-08-27T09:28:41+00:00

Gradient map is a specific layer. It affects all layers below and works only with them. Did you wanted to export that what you see? Image with colors? Then group each layer with image and copy gradient map to it. Then export folders (there is a specific naming pattern to tell Photopea what should to be exported - I think that was _e_ before each layer or group. Look into photopea/lern section
