My photoshop workflow! [New Video]

[Adam McIntyre]

A new video I recorded of me making a free flyer template, you can also download the source files at the end of the video.

What do you guys think?

Red Giant - Products - Knoll Light Factory for Photoshop 3.2

I am going to highly recomend this plug in for you

[Adam McIntyre]

That's pretty nice, but does it add the light effects to a new layer, or add it onto your existing layer?

[Hoogle]

You create a new layer fill with black and then you change the blendiing mode of the layer to either screen or soft light it is bought over from after effects and the plugin was created by1 of the official creaters of photoshop. TRy the demo out Great thing is once you learn it you can make your own lens flairs any colour shape size you want all though I tend to make mine all the same colour but use a hue saturation adjustment layer

[Hoogle]

Oh and if your serious about wanting somebody to animate your templates would you like me to move it the freelance section to see who could possibly offer you the idea for it etc. or maybe you post it there. I dont want to be seen as doing under the table freelance work if that makes sense. Make it fair for everyone.

[Adam McIntyre]

Nah no need to move it, I'll send you a file and you can show me an example of what you could do with it.

my email is mcintyre [dot] business [at] googlemail [dot] com - will you ping me an email so I can send over some examples PSDs

Re the lens flares, yeah it's great simply changing the blend mode, but it becomes a pain in the arse when you're prepping for print, always easier to have a transparent background on things like flares, but I'll give this a go, thanks
