|
|
This tutorial effect will probably be used in signatures, I think, and therefor, I named it "Signature tutorial".
1. First, start off by opening a new 400 x 100 px document.
File > New - Width: 400, Height: 100, Contents: White
2. Take the Gradient tool, and use these settings:
Mode: Difference, Opacity: 25%, Black/White Gradient
3. Draw around a little. Make short moves in every direction in the middle of the document. Then hit Ctrl + I to invert the pictures colours. Your result should look somewhat like this:
4. Now, go Filter > Stylize > Glowing Edges and just hit "OK".
Your result should look somewhat like this:
5. Now, go Filter > Stylize > Find Edges.
Your result shuld look somewhat like this:
Done! If you want to (which you probably do), you can add some extra effects, like some text, and a border:
Tadaa!

Hrm... Maybe because you've got PS CS2 and I've got PS 7, or maybe you didn't use the "Difference" mode on the Gradient tool... |

Maybe you used "Find edges" before "Glowing edges". That's wrong!  |

Kotik, reboot that brain of yours, or get rid of the Windows 3.11 running in it  |

3.11 Did not have any sleep mode. Frigging hybernate in XP doesn't work as it should either. |

Welcome Tek-Guru, are you into graphics, or what?
Kotik, make sure your colors are set to default (d), it looks as though you have some color in there ?

Hey Tek-Guru, I have you in my MSN list. I found you on some other site, you asked for someone to help you with a new design. Too bad I didn't get to talk with you yet...
Anyway, welcome to DEVPPL! Ask all your questions on the forums here, we'll be happy to help you out. |

I think this doesn't work for Kotik since he's using PS CS2. ^^
Anyway, do you think it was well explained? |
