I’m pretty sure I know what you mean, but can you tell me how you want the photo to show through the text? Can you attach an example?

actually it looks like the film grain filter in Photoshop. Select object, go to Effect >> (under Photoshop Effects), Artistic >> Film Grain…

I have no idea how, but I’ve seen similar workflows automated with Automator on the Mac and AE. May also work with FCP/Motion. Sorry I don’t have details, it was not an in depth tour. I’d love to hear how it all turns out.

First off: is it only in photoshop? If it’s only crashing photoshop (try printing the same screen shot from preview or another photo editor), then it’s a photoshop issue. If it crashes outside ps, then is printer driver or the Os.

Either way, go to your printer panel in system prefs. Remove the printer, delete the driver (have to download a new one), and add the printer again. Make sure your printer driver is made for your os.

Can you give exact steps to reproduce this? Please include file details -size, color profiles, color mode, and can you include the original image at all? Can’t reproduce what you are seeing with the steps given.

One thing: when you go from 3300 pixels to 315, you will lose image quality because you are reducing it to less than a tenth of its original size and you are changing to less resolution by going from 300 dpi to 72.

What are the image specs and can you give a blow-by-blow of what you are doing to duo the issue?

That is called ASCII art. You can get an ASCII art converter. Found this one, but not sure how well it works: https://picascii.com/

The working space is just that: a space to work on the image without changing the existing color profile (if any). It looks like you image was already set to Apple RGB and you were using sRGB to do your editing (working space). Using Convert will change the image from Apple RGB to whatever space you like. If your images are usually Apple RGB, you can change your working space to the same.

I do a lot of photo work so I use Adobe RGB for my working space and my default color space. I also like the way it handles my colors. If I’m working for the web, I use sRGB because it more Slidell resembles the final colors and most browsers ignore color space anyway.

Hope this helps.

Have you tried illustrator? Looks like a bunch of vector lines. Wouldn’t be too difficult in illustrator.

Not sure which version of PS you are on, but the Refine Edge tool works great for this kind of thing. It works really well with plain colored backgrounds, too. I do tons of photography against plain paper backdrops and the channel trick with refine edge is my 1-2 whammy. Good for pulling fine details.

Good tut: https://youtu.be/IQbDmQjGX7c (a bit slow, but he goes through several techniques)

Similar, but good: https://youtu.be/jvBAvZyqPmU

There are more, but these pretty well cover it. I like the second one for the technique of painting white to a new layer to reveal the really tiny hairs.

Hope this helps. -Jonathan
