    PROJECTS: A Grunge Experiment

    Hey, Thanks for your honest. Grunge is just the name of the style. It's one which throws lines, etc to the winds and attempts to bring order out of chaos. For instance, normal brushes are often used for drawing, are often lines, etc. Grunge brushes tend to be "dirt" or "dust" type of...

    PROJECTS: A Grunge Experiment

    You are entirely entitled to your opinion. In fact, except for the "don't use photos like this because it is disrespectful" bit I completely agree. This piece was conceived, created and will soon be sent to press for one reason: To help me remember. I suppose I could have hired a...

    PROJECTS: A Grunge Experiment

    Okay, time to go hunt for some Grunge Fonts. I found I really liked SimSun, as it isn't too chunky, and isn't too "normal" either. Serif fonts are normally really good for Grunge work, the more intense the serif's the better (often artists will extend the caps on certain key letters to make it...

    PROJECTS: A Grunge Experiment

    Okay, looking at the image, I really don't like the right side. I generally hate colours running solidly onto my borders in Grunge pieces anyways, and since I'm going for an elongated feel, I might as well get rid of it. One of dub's brushes is a gorgeous "erratic vertical stroke" which looks...

    PROJECTS: A Grunge Experiment

    Okay, my main goal in this step is to pick a colour, add some things in and start making this look really "grungy". Before we begin, I have 3 standard Adjustment Layers I use for Grunge stuff. The settings change, but the use of all 3 of them gives me a lot of control. Here they are...

    PROJECTS: A Grunge Experiment

    Alright, this is the second of the PROJECTS threads (I'm hiding this first, you can have it if you ask ;)). I'm sure few of you aware of the TECHNIQUES threads, well this is an extension to allow you to not only learn the tools but how to use them. The point of these is not so much to learn...

    TECHNIQUES: Bringing Life to Old Pics

    Drop the mids, drop the highlights, gets rid of the murkiness. There are other more precise ways of doing it (curves), but I prefer this one, since I can then just adjust from there :)

    TECHNIQUES: Circly Circles

    Mark, I'm actually on the run today looking for a new LCD monitor (my CRT @ home died, time for a new toy), so I won't have any time today or tomorrow to do a resize. Feel free though (and feel free to edit my post with the new URL). J

    Enlarging images without losing clarity

    Here are the steps: 1. Get the original ... Really your options are limited when you're working with something that small to that big. PS is pretty good at doing resizes when the aspect ration is retained (hold down shift while dragging from the corner of the resize box), but 2" to 30"...

    TECHNIQUES: Swirls & Such

    Our target in this "lesson" is: http://server2.tacf.org/examples/tdnf.jpg If you take a look at it, it's all typesetting except the funky swirly thingy. That swirly thingy is our "real goal". Okay, open Photoshop (sorry, I don't have paint shop pro. If PSP allows you to do custom brushes...
