How do you make poloriod Pictures for photshop??

[avalon*]

yay i can help you here =) haha i made them for a marilyn monroe layout [click the link that says skin 2 down there for an example]

okay so you have an image right? take your image and paste it onto a new white document that would be the border type thing, and you know how the bottom is a little bigger than the rest of the sides? yeah so make yours however you think a polaroid picture is shaped. then you go to layer>>flatten image. then select your whole picture and copy it. then go to layer>>new layer and press ctrl-v to paste your image. so now you should have 2 layers with the same thing on each one. take the rectangular marquee tool and select just the image, not the white border of the second layer. press delete. then your marquee should still be around the image, so go to edit>>stroke, width 1px, and pick a grayish color. then right click, select all. then do the edit>>stroke thing again, same stuff. then make sure you are on the second layer. go to layer style>>bevel and emboss. choose inner bevel, smooth, 21%, up, 5 px. then on the side bar you should see the word contour under bevel and emboss, and click the check mark. you should be done..hope this helped!

i dont get this part:


take your image and paste it onto a new white document that would be the border type thing

my xanga

okay you know how polaroids have the white border? you would take your regular square image and get a new white document thats bigger than your image, so that the white part will look like the border.

[diana]

sorry, but how do i select the image: then select your whole picture and copy it

[avalon*]

use your rectangular marquee. it's the very top left icon on your toolbar, the one that looks like a dotted square.

by the way, when you press delete for the image, there will still be the same image there because of the layer underneath. so make sure you only press delete once.

or you can just simply use a brush that has polaroid figures on it

try the big book of resources. i remember seeing one in one of those sites

[avalon*]

yeah vanilla dreams used that effect on her site, but she doesn't have any brushes for it. i checked already but there weren't any so i just tried to make my own.

[aznbabiicutie]

oooo..you should make the tutorial and put it in the tuts section.

[diana]

Goodness, opkay. i did everything right i guess. ut when i get to layer style. blah and balh. haha. umm. what is 5% ?? casue mine doesnt come like its suppose to be. and when i do the stroke thing. i think im doing it wrong. help please???

[avalon*]

okay when you get to layer style, see the side bar that has all those options? choose the one that says bevel and emboss. then use these settings:
style - inner bevel, technique - smooth, depth - 21%, direction - up, size - 5, soften - 0. then see the side bar that has checkboxes? click the checkbox that says contour.

You should really list that in numbers. I'm trying to follow that, but I don't want to read the big chunk of paragraph. lol

well you need it to be mostly square shaped but the size really depends on your layout image size.

and also, that vanilla site might have had it before, but they don't have it now at least, cause i looked through like every brush set thing.

[Danrulz]

haha. thanx. i'll just keep looking for the brush, and trying your directions

[Relentless]
