In this tutorial we will learn how to create a beautiful rainbow from the scratch with the Gradient tool of Photoshop Step 1: Open an image on which you wish to add the rainbow. In this tutorial, I used the photo below: Step 2: Create a new layer by clicking on the 'Create a new layer' icon at the bottom of the layers panel. With the new layer selected, select the Gradient tool on the left toolbar. Select the arrow next to the Gradient colors and choose Transparent Rainbow Step 3: Now click on the Transparent Rainbow itself to open up the Gradient Editor Step 4: Try to narrow the width of the sliders, this is how the settings look after all the changes: http://www.digitaltuts.com/images/Photoshop/Effects/Create_a_rainbow_with_Photoshop4.jpg[/img] Click OK to accept the changes. Step 5: From the gradient properties select the radial gradient option because we need to make a "radial" rainbow Step 6: Drag a line on your document to make your rainbow appear. You can undo (Ctrl-Z) and try different positions until satisfied Step 7: On the Layers tab change the Opacity of this layer to 42% to make it look transparent Step 8: Use the Eraser Tool and select a soft brush (about 30px diameter, 0% hardness) to erase the bottom of the rainbow And this is the result, a beautiful rainbow effect for our image: You can try making a reflection of the rainbow by duplicate the rainbow layer, rotate it 1800 and lower its opacity. Hope you like this tutorial!

Here is what i managed to do =D LolZ.z.z

In this tutorial I will run you through some very simple methods to create a realistic refection of someone as if they were in front of a glass window. First download this picture Start a 822X542px document and place the picture of the girls face in the right side of the canvas. Now duplicate the face and drag it to the left side of the canvas Flip the image on the left horizontally. With that layer chosen hit the keyboard shortcut ctrl+t on a windows keyboard to transform the object. Right click on it and click flip horizontally. You should have something similar to this I want the left picture to touch the right picture so it looks like she is leaning her head on a glass window. On an accurate reflection if her head is against the glass it will be the closest thing in the reflection since it is touching the glass. Her chin will be the furthest away in the reflection since it is not touching the glass. So first I am going to rotate and scale the image down a bit so it will look accurate in the reflection. There is a little white gap at the top and a big white gap toward the bottom so I am going to fix this with the warp tool. With the image chosen hit ctrl+t on your keyboard to transform the layer. Then click warp. On the top gap just grab the very top right square and drag up and right. The bottom gap grab the bottom right square and drag. ow there are some other gaps that I need to cover up, the one on the top left and the other on the bottom. So first I will get rid of the top left one by using my crop tool and just crop the whole image to get rid of that. As for the bottom gap I am going to copy a portion of the image, paste it back in the canvas and use the warp tool to manipulate it. So copy a part of the image… Copy and paste it back in the image ine it back up to its original position. Now use the warp tool on that copied piece to cover the gap. It does not have to look perfect and can look a little stretch, since this is for the reflection it will look a lot different later in the tutorial. I am going to do the same concept with the bottom gap. After that I merged the layer together and use the smudge tool to make it look a little better. To lighten up the image to make it look like a reflection I will use the levels on the image. Duplicate your layer and hide it so you have a backup in case you need to go back. Hit ctrl+L for the levels control and set them similar to this Then set her opacity to about 80%. Here is what I have so far That looks OK but it needs some outside reflection like of a city so I am going to use this picture of a city: Open that picture take any part of it and place it over your reflection layer Cut off the part that overlaps the right image. Add some motion blur to it by going to filter>>blur>>motion blur and use these settings Set its opacity to about 70% and its blending mode to overlay. I hope this gives you a basic idea on how you can make a realistic glass reflection of someone. Thanks for reading. ***QUICK NOTE*** Based off of some comments I received I modified the tutorial a bit to make it look more realistic. All I did was take a regular picture of the city without blurring it, put it below your reflection layer, and set the opacity to about 46%. Then I changed our reflection layer blending mode to hard light. Hope this looks better. Thanks! Credits ~~> Unknown

How To Create a Realistic Water Text Effect Introduction In this tutorial we will be creating a realistic water text effect that is sure to catch someones eyes. This tutorial requires some basic knowledge of Photoshop and how to work in it’s environment. For our the text itself we will be using a specific font and will be downloading it later so some skills on how to install font’s will be necessary as well. But that’s pretty basic knowledge and I am sure everyone that does tutorials knows these things by now. If not, feel free to comment and we’ll sort it out. This tutorial consists of only 5 steps but the effective layering and blending modes will make your text look frightenly realistic if executed in the right way and with a bit of patience. Feel free to do any modifications after you’re done with the tutorial. Refine it and make changes. That way you will learn the mechanics of the tutorial and later on apply it to any project that it might fit for. Step 1 - The Background We will be needing a nice background to write out text in water on. You can pretty much pick whatever background you like as long as it suites your needs. I will go ahead and use scratched metal background. Feel free to download the image: Step 2 - Font & Typing Time to type out our text. I will go with the name of this site “Minervity”. You can go ahead and type whatever you like, the tutorial is not dependant on it. The font we are going to use is “Ashcan BB” from 1001fonts.com and can be downloaded here: http://www.1001fonts.com/fonts/win/ttf/3113/ashcanbb_tt.zip Make sure you use the color “#A0A0A0” for your text as this is crucial for the effect later on. I am using font random font sizes for each letter when I type my text. One really important thing here is to make sure you’re just not typing out what you want to type. We need to mix it up a bit to make it look more realistic in it’s appearance. We can do this by typing one letter at a time each in it’s own layer. Why you might ask. Well, cause we want the possibility to rotate and mess around with the letters so they really look like they are “finger painted” using the water on the pane. So, when typing make sure you work with the text and imagine how it would look if it was raining outside and you could play with the water droplets to form your desired text. This is how I typed it: When you feel you have a good layout of your text we have to get them all into one single layer. This we can achieve by selecting all our layers and then pressing “CTRL+E” which will “Merge” our layers into one single layer ready to be worked on. Step 3 - Effects Time to add some effects to the text layers to make it look like water. The effect in itself is really easy but it’s the massive randomness that makes the picture really. The more you work with the picture the more alive it will get. I will tell you how to do it later on in this tutorial. Now, let’s add those layer blending effects. So, select the text layer, and change the “Blending Mode” for the layer to “Overlay“. With our layer still selected, open up the “Blending Options…” panel by either right clicking the layer or choosing “Layer” -> “Layer Style” -> “Blending Options…” There three “Tabs” we are going to work with here. First select the “Drop Shadow” tab and insert these settings: Now select the “Inner Shadow” tab and insert these settings: Select the “Inner Glow” tab and insert these settings: And last we are going to set some settings in the “Bevel and Emboss” tab. Open it up and insert these settings: Important to remember here as well is to really check where you have the light source. Which direction is the light coming from and then set it in these settings as well for the best result possible. Step 4 - Additional Water Droplets & Streams Now our text should start to look like water. Here’s how my text is looking right now: We still have to add some elements in order for it to look really believable. We can accomplish that by adding a new layer. Call it “Rain” to more easily distinguish it from the “Text” layer. Select our “Text” layer and right click. Select “Copy Layer Style“. Now select the “Rain” layer and right click on it. Select “Paste Layer Style“. Now we have copied all the “Text” layers attributes and effects into our new layer and we are ready to start adding new elements to our new layer. Here you can be really creative. You will be able to play with “Rain” in a way. It’s going to look like you are anyways. Try to mimic real drops of rain laying on a flat pane but also add some streams in various sizes and shapes. You can also play around a bit with the “Text” layer to make the text look a bit more naturally “drawn” in water. Simply select the “Brush” tool and start drawing. Remember to pick different sizes of your brush to make it more random. Also remember to draw with the color “#A0A0A0” This is how I made my additional elements: As you can see I have randomized the droplets quite a lot to get that “Real Water” feeling. The spurs of droplets put into patters is done because we later will add some condense to the picture to make it a little bit more realistic. Condense occurs when the water is cold and reacts to the warmer surface. Remember, I have once again “Merged” my layers (”Text” layer and “Rain” layer into one to get that flow:y effect. What’s really important to remember here is that you have to take off any effects on the layer you want to merge with the layer underneath it. Otherwise the effect will be all wrong and you won’t be able to work it or adjust it if you feel creative. So, once you are satisfied with you water layout take off the effects on the upper layer and then merge it with the one underneath. All should be OK now. Step 5 - Adding Condense Now it’s time to add some condense to the image to get that last realistic look. Create a new layer underneath you water layer. This is important ad you don’t want condense on your text or on any droplets as they are always on top. Then add with the “Polygon Selection Tool” straight lines and selections to really add that “cold” feeling to it. I have gone ahead and done the selection around the groups of droplets as the droplets usually are a bit more collected in the condense as it’s also generating water. Be creative and really think of how it might look. I had a reference picture to really mimic the natural way condense is occurring. Remember to still use the same color as before. Here’s the reference picture I used: fter you are satisfied with the way your condense is added we need to make it more realistic as well. So, with the “Condense” layer selected go to “Filter” -> “Noise” and the select “Add Noise…” to open up the Noise panel. With it open insert these settings and press “OK“: Now our condense is a little bit more fuzzy in it’s appearance. But we are not done yet. If you have condense going directly underneath your text or streams make sure to delete those particular parts by using the “Polygon Selection Tool” once again and delete what you select. After doing that we need to set the “Opacity” of the “Condense” layer to make it not so dominant in the picture. So, with the “Condense” layer selected set it’s “Opacity” to “15%“. Now it should blend in really nicely making it look like real condense. After applying the condense to our image it should now look something like this: There, our image is all done. There are a million ways to create your water text. It’s entirely up to you and your creativity really. CREDITS ~~> See first piC

This tutorial is going to be a little more advanced than the other ones I have done. It shouldn’t be a problem if you have been following along with our other tutorials or have a grasp of Photoshop. So lets begin. First we are going to need to grab some photos, the links to them are below. Fire: ============================================== http://www.imageafter.com/image.php?image=b17insektokutor079.jpg http://www.imageafter.com/image.php?image=b17insektokutor075.jpg http://www.imageafter.com/image.php?image=b17insektokutor074.jpg Ground: http://www.imageafter.com/image.php?image=b20grounds080.jpg Text texture (3rd one down) http://www.lostandtaken.com/2009/01/11-old-grungy-film-textures.html ================================================ Ok now lets get started. Step 1 Open up Illustrator and type out a word of your choice, in my case I used the word “FIRE” in ITC Franklin Gothic Heavy. Make sure that each letter is in a different text box. Now using Effect>3D>Extrude & Bevel set up your letters in an interesting way, keeping in mind that they are going to be on fire. It doesn’t have to be exactly the same, but something like what I have below. If you are having trouble with the 3D text, you can look at the tutorial on creating 3D text. Step 2 Open up Photoshop, and create a new document (I’m using 1680×1050). Fill the background with black. Paste the text you created in Illustrator. Make sure you bring in one letter at a time so they are all on different layers. Resize the text and adjust the angle until you get something that you are happy with Step 3 We are going to work on the background first, so grab a yellow/orangish color (Something that kind of has a fire look to it) and create a circular gradient with our color fading to 0% opacity. Stretch the gradient out with your transform tool until you’ve created somewhat of a glow under your text. Step 4 Grab the ground texture that we downloaded and bring it into our document. Decrease the size and adjust the angle so it looks like it is under the text. If you hold down the apple key and drag one of the corners it distorts it, so you can get a better perspective. Drag it so it is above the gradient layer and change the blend mode to multiply. You can adjust the size of the gradient so there is more ground showing. Step 5 Now we can start adding in the fire. You can use the lasso tool to roughly cut out the parts of the fire you want. Step 6 Bring your cut out fire pieces into the document and place them in and around the text. Change the blend mode to lighten on your fire, this will get rid of most of the black areas around the fire. Play around with the flames until you get something you like. Step 7 Now we want to get rid of the sharp edges we have from cutting out the fire from the other images. So what we want to do is click on each layer, apply a layer mask and then use a black brush with a soft edge to start painting out the edge of our fire. Step 8 Lets give our text a shadow that is cast by the fire, so it will be a fairly high contrast one. Load each layer of our FIRE text and fill a new layer with black, with our selected area. Go into filter>blur>radial blur, put the amount up to 100 and set the blur method to zoom. Repeat that filter with apple + f, then duplicate that layer. Then merge the two layers. Step 9 Now like we did with the fire, we are going to mask out the spots that isn’t supposed to have a shadow. Like all around the back we want to get rid of, as well as spots where light would come through the letters. Step 10 Now comes the time consuming part. I usually make a folder for each letter, then at least two different layers for each letter’s shadow and usually one for the highlight. So lets start off with the E. Create a new folder for it in your layers. Then create a layer for our shadow. Use the tool of your choice to get the selections, I’m going to use the polygonal lasso tool (and the pen tool for the curved letters). Now Grab a big black brush and drop the opacity down to 20%. I usually use one that covers most of the shape I’m trying to paint to get an even shadow. Now start painting, one click at a time, making the bottom darker than the top. Step 11 Grab another part of the E, one that doesn’t touch the area we already darkened and continue shadowing. You can hide the fire layers, it will make the letters easier to see. So just repeat this with all your shadow layers. Creating a new folder for each letter, and a new layer for the opposite dark areas. This is one of those things that the more you do it the more you get better, and it takes practice to get good at it. Step 12 Now we are going to start working on the highlights. Using the lasso tool (and the pen tool for the curved areas), cut out one top at a time then putting them in the corresponding folders. Set your highlight layers to overlay and use a combination of yellow, orange and white colors to give the tops of the letters a highlight effect. Repeat this for each letter until you get something you like. If you want to add more intensity to the glow, duplicate the layer or create a new layer and start painting on that. Step 13 Now we want to grab the texture that what got in the beginning. This is going to give our text a burnt look. So bring the texture into the document and size it until you find a good look for the E. Then load the E layer and select the inverse using apple + shift + i and delete. Since it is a lighter texture, I am gong to do an inverse, to make it darker. Then Change the blend mode to multiply. Final This is my process when it comes to creating scenes with 3D lettering. This tutorial was created to give you an idea of how to create something like this with some basic steps and a little time. CREDITS ~~> DENIS DESIGNS

Have you ever want to know how to disfigure the teeth on some photography of your friends, cousin, girlfriends... and after that show them that? :) No problem!

Quick way to create an extremely simple sketch effect. You can apply this effect to any digital image. Step 1: First open any image. Step 2: Duplicate the layer by pressing Ctrl+J. Go to Image> Adjustments> Desaturate. Step 3: Duplicate the layer again and go to Image> Adjustments> Invert or press Ctrl+I. Set the blend mode to Color Dodge. Step 4: So now it's time to apply sketch effect. Go to Filter> Other> Minimum and set the radius. The larger the radius the darker the lines will be. After this your photo result: Step 5: Duplicate your original image layer by selecting it in the layers palette. Now move the duplicate layer to the top of the layer stack, and set the blend mode to Color. Here's is the Final Result!: Credits ~~> nblov

It appears an error or what ?

Create a new document of 500×700 pixels. Fill the background with #000000. Create a new layer and name it as Flare. Fill the Flare layer with #000000. Selecting Flare layer, go to Filter > Render > Lens Flare. Choose 105mm Prime, and set the Brightness to 120. Position the Flare Center to the center of the preview. Then go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation. Check on Colorize. Set the Hue to 30, Saturation to 50 and Lightness to 0. Duplicate the Flare layer. Rename the duplicated layer to Wave. Selecting the Wave layer, go to Filter > Liquify. Choose the Twirl Clockwise tool and enter the settings as shown in the diagram below. Create a twirl on the duplicated flare. Create a new layer above Wave. Name the new layer as Burst. Set your foreground color to #D18803. Using the Brush tool with size 3px, draw a few crisscross lines. You may wish to press and hold down the Shift Key while drawing so your lines will be straight. Selecting the Burst layer, go to Filter > Liquify. Choose the Twirl Clockwise tool and enter the settings shown below. Move your cursor to the center of the crisscross lines, click and hold down the mouse button till there is a small twirl forming. Go to Filter > Blur > Radial Blur. Set the method to Zoom and quality to Good. Shift the Blur Center near to the right of the preview. Hit OK once done. Duplicate the Burst layer. Set the blend mode of the duplicated Burst layer to Color Dodge. Download the Photoshop Brushes Set 11 from r0man.de. http://qbrushes.com/photoshop-abstract-brushes/abstract-xi/ Load the brush into the brush palette and choose fl33. Create a new layer and name it as Electricity. Set the foreground color to #FFFFFF and paint the effect with an appropriate size. Right-click on the Electricity layer and choose Blending Options. Activate Outer Glow and enter the settings shown in the diagram below. Now you have the powerball. Create a group folder and put all these layers into it. Name this group as Powerball. Set the Blend Mode of Powerball folder to Screen. Hide the group folder for now. Download the Desert 02 from neverFading Stock. http://neverfading-stock.deviantart.com/art/Desert-02-68412766 Place in the image and resize to fit the document. Using the Blur tool with size 150px, blur the top part of the desert. Then use the Eraser tool in Airbrush mode and size 100px, erase the bottom of the desert horizontally so there is a fade into the black background. Download the DBZ 9 from Ahrum Stock. Crop out the man using either Pen tool or Extract filter. Place the man in the middle of the desert. Using the Eraser tool, erase slightly at the bottom below his arms. Using the Pen tool, draw a path along the man’s right arm like the one shown in the diagram. Unhide the Powerball folder now. Move the Powerball close to the man’s palms. Go to Paths tab, select the path you have drawn and click on Load Path as Selection button. Go to Select > Modify > Feather. Set the radius to 20px. Back to Layers tab, select the Powerball folder and click on Add Layer Mask button. Create a new layer and name it as Glow. Using Brush tool, set the mode to Airbrush, color to #D18803 and size to 200px. Paint a large dot on the powerball area. Set the blend mode of Glow layer to Multiply. Download some dragons from Markopolio Stock. http://markopolio-stock.deviantart.com/gallery/#Dragons Place a few dragons at the background. Go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation. Tweak the colors of the dragons so they fit into the overall color scheme. Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Blur these dragons with 4px. Select the man layer, go to Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen. This is to distinguish better between the foreground and background items. We are almost there. Now create a Levels Adjustment Layer and set the values to 21, 0.96, 231. Then follow by a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer and set the Saturation to 15. The last thing you need to do is to insert your movie title along with some random names of movie makers. I shall not go into details on those. Hope you all like this tutorial. Greatly appreciate if there is a stumble or digg! in Photoshop by Johnson Koh on 27-03-2009
