    Is this paint or 3d effect? How to achieve it?

    Hi Boobby It looks like that very first image you posed is a photograph: various colored lights behind a pane of glass with water drops. That will be a doozy trying to recreate in PS. The latter two images you posted, the first appears to be some form of pixel sorting. That can't be easily...

    Digital/Halftone type effect. How can I recreate this?

    Here is a plugin that will get you the desired effect: http://www.ximagic.com/g_index.html That's a ordered dither effect. I had trouble recreating that effect with photoshop's halftone options, so I just shelled out the few bucks for the plugin. Maybe someone else has a solution that doesn't...

    Brushes + Threshold + Different Colors?

    Quite right! Sorry, mean Tool Presets then. I'm guessing there's no way to use a brush's Tool Preset in the pencil tool. Anyways, I found the fastest way to get the results I wanted was to modify my threshold action a little, and set it up as a hotkey on F6. So now after every stroke I hit F6...

    Fastest way to select a specific areas in this image

    Oops! I should have read your op more closely. It sounds like you are doing what would probably be the fastest method I can think of then, haha. Maybe Refine Edge might speed things up. Good luck!

    Brushes + Threshold + Different Colors?

    From my understanding, each type of brush preset (at least in CS6) is exclusive. For instance: This is the brush preset I am using with the brush tool. This is the brush preset panel for the pencil tool which doesn't have my brush tool's presets. And the "Current Tool Only" checkbox doesn't...

    Fastest way to select a specific areas in this image

    I would guess that the easiest way to get the selection you are looking for is using the Quick Selection Tool. It is grouped with the Magic Wand Tool. It basically allows you to paint a selection similar to a quick mask but it has edge detection. Try it out and that should get you close to the...

    Brushes + Threshold + Different Colors?

    Can I somehow import a brush preset as a pencil brush preset? Maybe that will help.

    Brushes + Threshold + Different Colors?

    Thank you Mr. Tom! That's as close as I've gotten to what I was hoping for. I'm probably being picky here (sorry if I am haha) but it still isn't quite what I was looking for. Here is my original brush stroke (normal brush tool): Here is that same brush stroke with my quick mask, threshold...

    Brushes + Threshold + Different Colors?

    I really appreciate your help! Unfortunately, I was looking for the hard edges of the threshold adjustment layer as well. As you can see the fill layer has a lot of opacities: I was hoping for something like this with a threshold adjustment layer: I got that image from selecting that...

    Brushes + Threshold + Different Colors?

    Here is the lighter color method working: But, it doesn't work when there are multiple brushstroke layers: As you can see, the cyan layer is now hidden due to the second threshold. This is the effect I'm looking for but using non destructive methods/ adjustment layers:

    Brushes + Threshold + Different Colors?

    The "ligher color" layer works well. The color fill adjustment layer doesn't. I forgot to mention that I am not painting directly onto a white ground. The brush layer is separate from any other layer, i.e. a black brushstroke on a layer above the white ground. I'd ideally have multiple...

    Brushes + Threshold + Different Colors?

    Ahh! Lovely. That's exactly the effect I was looking for. Though, I'd like to use fewer layers if possible. I'm planning on having a lot of other layers both on top and below with this effect. Thanks for the reply!

    What technique is this and how can I recreate it

    It looks like it is a threshold portrait with some added paint spatter, red colors on a mask/clipping mask, and an additional gray texture as a mask/clipping mask. The results of a quick google search look promising...

    Brushes + Threshold + Different Colors?

    Oh, and by the way, I'm using CS6. My boss is suspicious of the cloud haha

    Brushes + Threshold + Different Colors?

    Howdy folks! My first time here at these forums. I'm a print/textile/graphic designer and I haven't seen an answer to this question anywhere on the webs. This is sort of a complicated question. I'll do my best to ask it in a comprehensible way. I love the hard edges and visual effect of the...
