Creating Realistic 3D Flag 2008-04-07 19:42:00 This tutorial will show you how you can use displacement maps for placing many kinds of design onto many different surfaces. I'm going to map a 2d flag image using a photograph of some crumpled silk to create a realistic 3D flag; Step 1: Open your fabric and your flag image in photoshop. Apply gaussian blur to your fabric photograph (Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur) and experiment with the radius to hide the detail of the fabric and keeping only the folds. Step 2: Save your fabric to a PSD file (File > Save as). I saved mine as silk.psd Step 3: Starts working on your flag photo. Apply the displacement map filter to your flag with your blurred fabric photo, so mine is the silk.psd file. (Filter > Distort > Displace) and I get this.. Step 4: Go back to you Read more:Creating

Full Moon in The Midnight Forest 2008-04-07 18:18:00 Here we go! Create new document, fill background layer with dark blue. Open Layer Style -> Blending Options, select Gradient, change gradient blend mode to Overlay, and style to Radial. also scale up to 150%. (I also added black Inner Glow). Create new layer, use selection tool or shape tool to create grey ellipse (this will be our earth). If you used shape, rasterize it. Add some noise (menu Filter - Noise - Add Noise). Tricky part now - we are going to simulate macro photo where only part of a photo is focused, and the rest is blurred. - switch to quick mask mode (Q) - select gradient tool. make sure that foreground color is black, and background is white - on top of window, switch gradient type to Reflected - create gradient similar to show here. Since we are Read more:Forest
Creating an Urban-Style Piece of Artwork 2008-04-04 20:02:00 What We're Making This is the final image which we will create: Preparation This tutorial is very stock heavy. Since the basic theme of the image will be "music", I gathered a few stock images from iStockPhoto. I suggest that you also choose a theme and gather a bunch of stock images which you think will be useful before you start creating the image. Here are links to the ones I used: Girl, Speakers, Boombox Step 1 Before we start with the stock, we will quickly create a texture for later use. So create a new document, I used 800 x 600px for my canvas size. Make sure your foreground color is black and your background color is white. You can simply press "D" to do that. Add a new layer and go to Filter > Render > Clouds. Then go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Choose the following se Read more:Creating

Adding Flames and Effects to Make an Image with Impact 2008-04-04 18:42:00 The Photo First we need an image to work with. I chose an image of a snowboarder jumping from Stock.xchang, it's great because he's quite isolated against a straight blue background which will make cutting him out much easier. Step 1 Let's start off with a subtle gradient. Create a radial gradient (Layer > New Fill Layer > Gradient...) with a black outside and a dark grey inside. Next import the image you wish to edit on a new layer. Scale it, place it and cut it out. If you choose a snowboarder against a blue sky like me, it's easy to cut using color range (Select > Color Range...) or the Magic Wand tool. I desatured (Image
> Adjustments > Desaturate) the image because I only want the flames to be colored - this will give a punchier effect. Step 2 Now we'll create the background and t Read more:Flames

Making Composites with Octoberfest Glassware 2008-04-04 15:50:00 Step 1 We start with a picture of myself holding a beer mug and a photograph of the Octoberfest scene. The picture was a snapshot I shot while I was visiting Munich during Octoberfest. Download the images to get started: Octoberfest image and Beer image. The crowd image has been blurred. This does two things: it fakes a depth of field and it protects the identity of the passerby's. Step 2 Every good photomontage starts with a good mask. Use the Path Tool and mask out the person, the beer, and anything that is behind the glass that isn't transparent. You should end up with three different paths: one for the guy, one for the glass, and one for behind the glass. Step 3 Right click on the path and select Make Selection. You will get prompted by a dialog box; make sure it's set to 1 pi
Underwater 2 2008-04-04 15:16:00 Start with blank document. Fill background layer with gradient going from light blue to dark blue. In Layer effects, use very large (250px) black Inner Glow, with blend mode = overlay. In new layer, select very large brush, set color to white and put a single dot. Transform layer (Ctrl-T) to make dot width less and height more. Move white dot to top of image (so that only bottom half of it is visible) and set its layer blend mode to Overlay. Duplicate this layer and make it about 50% smaller. Next step is to create nice light rays. Create new document, with square size (width = height), and width is about 200% of your original image width. (if you design wallpaper at 1024x768, create 2000x2000 image). Fill it wi
Fire Dragon 2008-04-04 14:36:00 Well the process of designing Fire Dragon
wallpaper is not full of interesting tips and tricks. It was actually 24 hours of drawing with brushes of different sizes and colors. As always, to start, we need background. Set foreground to dark red, background to black. Select Gradient tool, choose Radial type, fill the document dragging the mouse from bottom to top of image. The mountains in the background are very easy to do - they are simply black shapes made with Pen tool. So, take a Pen tool and make a shape :-) Create new layer, take soft brush tool, set color to lighter red, and make strokes as shown here, touching the edge of mountain. Create clipping mask (from Layers menu). The mountain is ready. The same way, create as many mountains as y

The layer's parameters: Fill 0% Blending Options>Gradient Overlay Gradient's parameters: Using the Rectangle Tool
