[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.

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]

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

[F1R3B4T]

[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...

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

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!

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