There are a lot of products out there that use ceramic as the basic material of construction.\u00a0 Tile and tableware are everywhere but list goes on and on \u2013 porcelain dental veneers, beer growlers, pet bowls, memorial portraits, Christmas ornaments, gift ware, signage, appliance skins (porcelain enameling on metal) etc.\u00a0\u00a0 For every product there is demand for the product to be personalized.\u00a0 We\u2019ve written about some of the decorating processes in other blogs and will cover others in the future.\u00a0 But, anytime a product is to be personalized, there is the need for software to manipulate the graphics that ultimately end up on the product.\u00a0 Any personalization starts with an image and some software to prepare the image for further processing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Adobe Photoshop is the most widely used software for image manipulation.\u00a0 A friend of mine said learning PS is like learning the Bible.\u00a0 You can study it for a lifetime and never really figure it out.\u00a0 But learn it you must and there are no end of resources available to do so.\u00a0\u00a0 My favorite is www.lynda.com<\/a>\u00a0 You will find almost limitless resources there and for a small fee billed monthly you can watch and rewatch over and over again specific videos on various PS tools and techniques.\u00a0 There are also third party Photoshop plug-ins that simplify and improve your PS work.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For a lot of additional information on useful tools for the ceramicist or anyone interested in ceramics, check out this link.\u00a0 Terry Rorison is an artist, teacher and all around good guy who shares his knowledge selflessly.\u00a0 Check out this link to read more – \u00a0http:\/\/wpapotters.blogspot.com\/2015\/07\/some-technology-resources-for-potters.html<\/a>\u00a0http:\/\/wpapotters.blogspot.com\/2015\/07\/some-technology-resources-for-potters.html<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the end, it all about the Photoshop work.\u00a0 So, if you are personalizing products or printing images for decorating a product, invest in your Photoshop skills.\u00a0 It will pay off in reduced time to produce and improve the quality of your products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are a lot of products out there that use ceramic as the basic material of construction.\u00a0 Tile and tableware are everywhere but list goes on and on \u2013 porcelain dental veneers, beer growlers, pet bowls, memorial portraits, Christmas ornaments, gift ware, signage, appliance skins (porcelain enameling on metal) etc.\u00a0\u00a0 For every product there is […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,1],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceramicprinting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceramicprinting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceramicprinting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceramicprinting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceramicprinting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceramicprinting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ceramicprinting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceramicprinting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ceramicprinting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
