Intro: Ok let's get started. Open up a new 400x130 px document. Play around with any render you
feel like using. Resize it so that it's a good size for the signature. I will try to edit this
post with a image version of the sig later* 1.) Choose a radial gradient type from your gradients.
Pick black and another color. 2.) Click around the middle of the sig and hold it to around half-way
to the end. Re-try until the middle of your sig has a gradient in it. 3.) Move your render into the
sig and duplicate it 5 times (control+j) . 4.) Smudge the first one you co...

Side Notes: I hope you enjoy it. I made this awhile ago, but didn't posted it before. I

Key terms and concepts Adobe – software company established in 1982. Invented PostScript and
later, the Portable document Format (PDF). They are responsible for the popular applications
Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Many beginners erroneously call Illustrator or Photoshop
"Adobe" (as in "when I open up Adobe...") Don't make this mistake. Adobe is the company - use
the name of the software you are working with. Photoshop – raster image manipulation application
created in 1986 by Thomas Knoll and purchased by Adobe in 1988 to be released in 1990. Version...

Sorry I don't have any images for this tutorial, but it's so easy you won't need them!
Okay, here we go... 1. Start off with a square image, white background. I think 400x400 works best.

Filter>Blur>Radial Blur: 100%, Zoom, and Best. 5. Hit Ctrl+F to duplicate the filter 6. Duplicate
the layer 7. Go to Filter>Distort>Twirl: 75 or -75 (top layer only) 8. Set the top layer's
blending mode to "Lighten" 9. Now merge the layers and press Ctrl+U to colorize! Or... 1...

A PSD is an image, generally of a person (but not always) that has a transparent background around
the main object. The name comes from that originally these were always saved with a .psd extension.
I'm going to start with this image: To follow the tutorial, I suggest you copy this image.
It is an easy image for beginner's because the background is very plain. Start off by selecting
the polygonal lasso. You may have to click and hold down on the lasso tool so you can select the
polygonal one. The image that you should select is shown below. After you h...

Hi guys, This is the first time I am writing a tutorial so please be patient where ever I go wrong.
I saw an image at deviantart.com which i liked very much, however I have lost that now, but still
have that in mind. In this tutorial i have tried to get that similar effect on any photograph.
Here is the picture i started off with (better if there is no sun): The first step is to
desaturate it: (ctrl+shift+u) Now we need to have a moon: Use eclipse tool to draw a circle
(feather=10px) and fill it with white color. Lower down the opacity of it. Thus we have got...

Well I made this a little bit ago for a site called Gamexe.net, note i put .com on accident but
other than that it should work just fine. Please do not put this on any other website without my

right now =P ...

I'm a little sick right now, so pardon me if I don't seem like my usual self... *achoo*
Okay, here we go... This style can be used on any color background, but to make it easier to see
I'm using a black background (400x150) and the 120px font Bastarda 1. Type your text in any
color. The bigger the font, the better the effect looks. 2. Start with a Gradient Overlay - Blend
Mode: Normal, Opacity: 100%, Style: Linear (Align With Layer), Angle: 90, Scale 100% | Color Stops -
FF6E02 at 0%, FFFF00 at 50%, and FF6E02 at 100% 3. Next, we'll apply an Inn...

This style actually started off as "Bluminum," or in normal people terms, blue aluminum. I was
messing around with some variations and found one that resembled some kind of cartoonish gold, so I
gave it a name and saved it. Enjoy! Create a new image with a size to fit your text. In my
case, I'm using a 72px font (I think) called Kristen ITC . 1. Type your desired text in any
color and try to center it. Color doesn't matter because a Gradient Overlay will be applied.
Example 2. Now it's time for the effects - We'll start with a Gradient Overlay...

For those of you who don't already know, Photoshop has these nifty little features called
Actions. Now, these actions can be used for many things, including the creation of beautiful and eye
catching effects, maximizing your productivity, or simply to carry out the tedious and mundane tasks
that your lazy ass just doesn't feel like doing. I recently had the pleasure of turning
.diplomat.'s beautiful " Daze " theme for SMF into something of my own, and being the genius
that I am, I used these wonderful actions and a little thing called Batch Processing. I'...

I made this style a long, long time ago for my old hosting site, XS-Host.net and I totally forgot
about it until the other day. I always thought it looked pretty cool, so I decided to share it with
you /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> It kinda looks like
something you'd find in the tread of a sneaker, or in a car's floormat, doesn't it?
Anywhos, In the style's file download at the bottom of this post you'll also find 2 other
color variations (red and dark blue) as well as another version of this style in which...

I was messing around with my styles the other day and came up with this. I think it kinda has the
same look as those stupid little pillows you see at Wal-Mart with "Princess" or "Cute" written on
them. But since "Stupid Little 'Princess' Pillow" is too long of a title for a Photoshop
style, I call it Satin Pillow. It kinda looks more like silk, but it's my style and I'll
call it what I want. For pictures of how the applied settings should look on your text, click on
the settings' image. This style can be used on any color background, but for the t...

Today I will be showing you how to make the style "Inedible Orange" that I created for my tutorials
site's header. I have included two variations of the style in the .asl file, one for dark
backgrounds (v.1) and one for light backgrounds (v.2). I don't have the header finished yet, so
here's another example: For pictures of how the applied settings should look on your text,
click on the settings image. This style can be used on any color background, but for the tutorial I
will be working on a black background since it is easiest to see. Now with that said...

Another one of my text styles, "Bi-Polar Attraction" (I suck at naming things :/) Actually, I will
be showing you 3 variants on the style: Dark, Light, and Electric. All 3 variants are included in
the style download at the bottom of the tutorial. I think the effect really looks better with a
larger size font, but that's for you to decide. Here is an example of the 3 style variants on
both black and white backgrounds: Since there is a limit on the number of images I can post, I
have only posted images of the style's settings. For pictures of how the applied se...

I've been waiting patiently for my hosting to go through to post this tutorial... so I hope you

(real creative, I know) Here is an example of the style on a half white/half black background:

I am going to show you how to create this neat little shape trick i used in my sig my sig isnt
the best, but i like the little trick i did with the shape...a lot of people have been asking me
about it so i decided to write a tut on it. anyways. you want to start out with a blank page, so
goto File->New (for all the n00bs) and you want your image to be 425 x 125 pixels (doesnt have to be
but that is the sig size). now you want to use your fill tool, which is on the toolbar (which is on
the left of your screen) it is a rectangle with a gradient pattern filled in it. ...

First of all start with a new document about 150w x 50h, » select a color and then using the
rounded rectangle function create a rectangular box leaving about 5 pixels per side, » Add text
then ratersize the text layer and the rectangle layer , » merge the two layers together(Ctrl + E),
» duplicate the merged layer, » On the duplicated layer click image > adjustments > hue and
saturation then tick colorise, » Move the hue and saturation bars until satisfied with color , »
Delete all other layers such as background leaving just the rectangle and the duplicated la...

Firstly, there are varying tutorials like this but this is one way in which you can achieve the
simple effect. Program: Photoshop Elements or Higher Note: Reset your template colours to B/W
(press D). Also, instead of screening blend, try Overlay. 1) Create a 500 X 500 pixel picture with
Transparency 2) Go to Filters -> Render -> Cloud. (Repeat until a desirable cloud is shown) 3) Go to
Filters -> Render -> Difference Cloud. 4) Invert the picture (Ctrl + I) 5) Make the levels equal.
(Shift+Ctrl+L) Now comes the fun parts /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-alig...
