Photoshop Help Thread!

As Ireland said:

I opened a photoshop thread so post your questions and tutorials and we all can pitch in and help other people with photoshop!

 

[bold]Make 3-D images[/bold]

First open up photoshop and the picture you are going to use. Heres the picture that i will be using:


Next step is to duplicate the layer and is to set the top layer's blending mode to diffrence. i know its black but that will get fixed in a sec so dont worry


Then press Ctrl+T to go into transform mode. right click and click Perspective.


Now try to make the right points taller than the left points, but try no to make it too distorted


Now go to the Chanels Pallet. Then select Red. Now go to Image>Apply Image and set these settings:
(note if you cant see the settings you change the Layer to background, the Chanel to RGB, and the Blending to normal.)

Now go back to the Chanels Pallet and select RGB. Then go back to the Layers Pallet and set the blending mode to normal and voila! your finished!

Svar/ Spoink, that's CRAZY actually works with the 3D glasses.
Gotta keep this alive, sorry for no screenshots atm.
--This is a guide for flamed text, been a while since I did this I'll try remembering anyway-Credit goes to wherever I learnt it from a few years ago, sorry for not remembering.

1)Open up Photoshop and start a new file.
2)Set your canvas size, something like 500x 200
3)Make sure your foreground colour is black and then using the paint bucket tool, make ur canvas background is a dark colour, or get a dark BG you have already created.
4)Set your foreground colour to white now, and click on the 'A' text tool.
5)Type whatever you need to like your username.
6)Go to Filter-->Stylized-->Wind-->OK, and then go to Image-->Rotate Canvas--> 90 CW.
7)Repeat until all sides have been 'winded'.
8)Image-->Mode--> Grayscale. OK
9)Image-->Mode--> Indexed Colour. OK/Flatten
10)Image-->Mode--> Color Table--> BLACK BODY. Apply.
11)Image-->Mode--> RGB Color. OK.
12)Look at your finished project and pat yourself on the back.

Here's a first draft I made for my friends record label.

Don't worry about the extra flames on top, I added that part via a different method. More guides coming soon.

 

nice one darkhadou!

 

[bold]Easy Matrix Photos[/bold]
This is a really simple, but cool way to make your photos look like there from the film 'The Matrix'.
First of all, take the photo or image you want to change, it doesn't have to be a black and white image, but in this tutorial I have chosen a black and white one.


Then go to Filter > Texture > Grain. Set the Grain Type to Vertical. Move the Intensity and Contrast until you get something like the image below.


Then click ok! Nearly done already!! Your image should look something like below now.


Go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation. Make sure Colorize is selected! Now change the settings until the image is Green - below are the settings I used.


There you have it! Your own matrix-style image!!

Damnit, I don't understand why the hell you have to pay for a photoshop CS2 plugin So badly wanted to try out the new Eye Candy set, looks promising.
