[TheKnight]

Ok, finaly managed to get Photoshop (CS4) and now I have few questions:

How do you make glowing text?

If you have image from rendersite, do you have save it on comp or can you copy it for none backround, since when I tried to copy image from planetrenders.net, it had black backround, on GIMP it still has no backround

How do you install new brushes/fonts?

what are keys to Scale and Move image?

How can you move layers?

How do you make Glowing Pen tool line (or w/e it is)

How do you make frames for Sigs?

More questions comming later

Ok, finaly managed to get Photoshop (CS4) and now I have few questions:

How do you make glowing text?

Double click you text layer and layer style window will pop up. Then just choose "outer glow" and configure your glow settings the way you want.

Yes you have to download the renders to you computer. And I would recommend it anyway.

How do you install new brushes/fonts?

You can instal new brushes by first downloading them and then copy them to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Presets\Brushes. You can install fonts the same way you always do. Download them and then copy them to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts


what are keys to Scale and Move image?

I don't get the question.

How can you move layers?

Hold and drag

How do you make Glowing Pen tool line (or w/e it is)

Same way you did glowing text.

How do you make frames for Sigs?

Select -> select all -> select again -> Modify -> border -> use the bucket tool to fill your border.

More questions comming later

I do frames by applying image and the Edit->Stroke
Just throwing it in there...

[Deadsolid]

what are keys to Scale and Move image?

I don't get the question.

Edit>Transform>Scale
and to move you use the arrow tool

[Shomari]

Or ctrl-t

[Mirosuke]

lol r u serious? Check some guide on google :/
or just try playing with it since its similar with GIMP

[TheKnight]

Tutorial tells me to apply image, what does it mean?
Edit: And How does cliping masks work?

[TheKnight]

Ok, I tried something with this tut: http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs25/f/2008/ ... itzu94.png

But What i made wasn't very good

Spoiler!

Photoshop is harder to use than GIMP

Best I've seen from you IMO.

To apply a image press ctrl+alt+shift+e on a new layer or just take Image -> Apply Image

Clipping mask tutorial -> http://sugarpoultry.deviantart.com/art/ ... -116712895

Btw, all your questions are answered just by a simple google search.

Great tuts but how to add light source?

[TheKnight]

My newest creation, thans for Tutorial Dumbo

[DumboDii]

Getting better, getting better... Next time pay more attention to flow.

Flow?

[DumboDii]

I already posted tutorial explaining flow, using colors and the rule or 3rd in your other thread.

Flow?

For the example, look at Dumbos sig, the shoe is pointed at a certain direction, and the effects behind the shoe is going with the same direction.
It gives a feeling that the signature has some movement in it.

And now other questions:

if you render image with pen tool, you have to choose path as selction, how ( i try to right click the path and select but it says something that over 50% of pixels aren't chosen or something like that)?

How to add transprement backround (or w/e it is)?

[TheKnight]

nvm about the upper questions, got answerd them already (I youtube )

Well, tried to focus on Flow, but (again) I did something wrong

You should try something else than anime renders all the time.

This.
And imo u should really really look into text placement.

i always found anime to be much more easy to work with then real people and so on

Indeed.

[TheKnight]

Well, I tried Gaming Render instead (Real Life renders are still too hard for me ) and practiced text placement a little bit more...



Version 2, I tried to add more depth by creating color on borders (I ruinded it again )


I should download more fonts

[DumboDii]

Well I have to say that your photoshop sigs are already much better. I think you should not focus on text so much at this point. Focus on the sig and leave the text so when you know more about techniques you become better at making text.

Ok I have new question: How do you make your brushes to shinig multi colors?
(http://brusheezy.cdn.eezyinc.com/images ... 1237563703) <-- Like those

[Amarisa]

you tend to have a lot of stuff over the face of your render. try having the face clear but still have a little depth going.

[Swindler]

I guess gradient maps.

[TheKnight]

Can you set gardient map so it only has effect on one layer?

[Melez]

Apply it as a clipping mask to the layer you want
