What effects are these?

hello

please, can someone tell me what effects are used in the attached images?

thankyou

The first one's called image degradation.

The second isn't an effect but rather a printing process called HOT STAMPING or EMBOSSED STAMPING.

Other's may have a different take on it..... :mrgreen:

Cool. I didn't know that! I thought of image degradation as always pertaining to the effects of poor quality imaging optics on an photo, not as a distinct type of PS effect. Do u have any links to it as an effect?

Thank you for your reply.

"HOT STAMPING or EMBOSSED STAMPING"

Can we achieve this by a InkJet printer or a colored laser printer? In the second image, the letters seems to be printed. If you feel it by hand, the surface is even.

Hello,

How can I use "image degradation" feature in Fireworks or Photoshop? Thanks

Hi, what is the color swatch supposed to simulate? Fabric?

 

[angilina]

Leather

So you need a gold hot stamped look on a leather material, is it? Any particular leather and color you have in mind?

 

[angilina]

Hello, the color is shown in the first image in my first post. Is there any effect or feature in Fireworks or Photoshop that can replicate Leather? thank you

Go to Google Images and type in {high resolution leather texture}.

You will see dozens of different leather textures and colors. Just pick the closest and use it as your base layer. Don't worry if the color or brightness is slightly different from what you want -- you can always tweak that using adjustment layers in PS.

Then follow one of the tutorials that shows how to produce the desired text effect and put the result of that exercise on a layer above the (adjusted) leather layer.

PS - Some of these are free, or free for low resolution versions, but for others, you will have to pay a nominal sum to get the high resolution version.

The standard technique to have one image "follow" the contours of a second image is to use a technique called "displacement map". Here's a good tutorial on it:

For example, it's easy to get efx like this:

PS - Because this is primarily a teaching forum for PS techniques, I made no attempt to produce the exact colors or texture you want, figuring (from your question) that you will want to take it from here on your own.
