This tutorial will help you understand the main differences between vector and bitmap images.
There’s six main categories of brush dynamics – Shape Dynamics, Scattering, Texture, Dual Brush, Color Dynamics, and Other Dynamics – all of which (as we’ll see) are found in Photoshop’s Brushes panel. Each one controls a different aspect of the brush as we paint with it, but the controls and options are similar for all six, so once you learn how things work for one, understanding the others will be much easier.
Photoshop allows you to save several variations of a composition in the same file by using so-called layer comps. This setting remembers the position, opacity, blending mode and style of a layer. A separate layer comps window gives you easy control.
I just came across this website and when I looked at its logo, I thought I can do it and I should also tell others how to get that “Metallic Style” text.
In this Photoshop Elements 8 video, learn how to set up and use grids in your photo projects.
Note: The keyboard shortcuts shown in this video work only in Photoshop Elements 8, not in previous versions.
With this you’ll learn how to reproduce a popular design effect in Photoshop: The Mirror Effect. This is the first out of a series of post that will teach Photoshop beginners how to apply various design effects to their designs.
But we have more than just a plain tutorial for you, we’ll also talk a little about the Mirror Effect and how and where to use it. Finally we also have a mini showcase of web sites that use the mirror effect.
Another one here for you guys. I’ve used this method to create some abstract logos time and time again. You will never get the same result twice unless you are made of magic in which case you wouldn’t be watching these ridiculous videos would you…?
When you first started with Photoshop, you might be overwhelmed by the amount of features and functionality built for various graphic design tasks and basically don’t know where to begin. So what can we do to overcome this initial difficulty? Just like learning every other thing in life, we start with the easiest part.
In this post, I will provide 5 Simple, Yet Useful Photoshop “How-to”s for Absolute Beginners. Take a look and hopefully you will see after all, Photoshop is not that hard to start with!
From opening a 3D file to rotating, scaling and moving it, working with meshes, creating textures or even materials, adding lights, and more, this tutorial covers most of the secrets of the useful feature 3D Tools of Photoshop CS4 Extended. If you have it, why don’t you try? I can assure you that you will discover a brand new world of infinite possibilities.
In this tutorial, we’ll learn how easy it is to make our own custom Photoshop brushes! Photoshop ships with lots of great brushes for us to use, but it’s way more fun and interesting to create our own, especially after Adobe completely revamped the brush engine in Photoshop 7, adding unprecedented painting ability to what was already the world’s most powerful image editor.
Since the types of brushes we can create in Photoshop are limited only by our imagination, we’ll design a very simple brush here just to see how quick and easy the whole process is. We’ll also take a look at a couple of Photoshop’s dynamic brush options in the Brushes panel to see how we can change the behavior of the brush after we create it.
Let’s get started!
