photoshop: color stuff Options

[F1R3B4T]

how do ppl use photoshop to do mixed patern like stuff with their font color and mixed background color?

[Phischie]

Do you have an example? Cuz I have no clue what you're talkin about but I might be able to tell you how to if I look at an example.

[F1R3B4T]

thers nothing that i want to learn specifically, i just want to learn how to do those weird belnding techniques that ppl use as backgrounds.

[*NatiMarie*]

Do you have an example? Do you mean like gradients and stuff?
=\

[Phischie]

Yea... an example would be helpful.

What sort of blending? Um.. you can go to LAYER OPTIONS and change the blending of the layer.. so the words are SEMI-transparent.. meaning you can see through the words, u can see the background in the words, but u can still see the words lol =X

It's pretty difficult though unless you know what all the functions do...

[F1R3B4T]

ok well uhm how do u do that shining thing? like there are rays of light radiating off something? i've always wanted to do that

also cud someone teach me how to do this?

splash some colors that are near the same tints/shades, use radial blur filter. play around with the dodge tool.

[F1R3B4T]

dodge tool wats it do?? and where the hell is radial blur?

[Phischie]

XD While messing with photoshop and ATTEMPTING to re-create that image, I came up with this. Sorry F1R3B4T but I couldn't figure out how to re-create that image... I have one that's a little closer... but... ya...

[silver-rain]

dodge tool wats it do?? and where the hell is radial blur?

the dodge tool lightens the dark areas. radial blur is under Filter. then go to Blur and there is Radial Blur

[whomps]

What version of photoshop and type of windows do you have?

[F1R3B4T]

adobe photoshop 7 windows 98. lmao.

[whomps]

I think it's because of your windows 98.

[F1R3B4T]

gahd. truth hurts eh
lmao 800th post... i've successfully maintained 100 posts per day in the past 8 days

1) Make a bunch of spots with black, grays, and whites.

2) Use radial blur (Filter>Blur>Radial Blur) with the settings of 50 as the amount, spin as the blur method, and good as the quality

3) change the brightness and contrast (Image>Adjust>Brightness/Contrast) to 25 as brightness and 15 as contrast (that's what I did at least)

4) Then add a wave filter (Filter>Distort>Wave)

5) Now do steps 1-4 again on another document.
6) Select either one of your backgrounds and paste it on the other.
7) Adjust the hue and saturation for both layers (Image>Adjust>Hue/Saturation) (Don't forget to check the colorized button)
8) Change the top layer from normal to overlay


Voila! You have a nifty background!

[F1R3B4T]

lmFao no wonder.. i think i should show u what i DO have in my filter menu.

You should use Photoshop 6.0 (which is what I have). It works well with 98 since I used Photoshop on my older computer.

is not just in the "presets" or the "required" folder within "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0"?

[xlilaznmonkeyx]

[F1R3B4T]

[Phischie]

I don't think Photoshop 7.0 has 6.0 filters based on what x_angawhomps said. That's why I said that you could sell 7.0 and buy 6.0. 6.0 should be pretty cheap considering that it's old.

[whomps]

Nope can't really use the passport thing for AIM. But AIM pwns all other messenging programs.

Hey Phischie that's a pretty spiffy tutorial.. I would submit it onto cb in the tutorial section

[xlilaznmonkeyx]

i have msn too but ionno if it can send files..give me ur msn user and i'll try

[Phischie]

Hey Phischie that's a pretty spiffy tutorial.. I would submit it onto cb in the tutorial section
