    Need glowing text tutorial!

    Still more... Just to give you some idea of what you can do... these are two other animations that I made using the same technique, but with alterations to the images.

    Need glowing text tutorial!

    STEP 6 STEP 6: Now save this document and switch to ImageReady ( or use the animation palette in CS3 ). What you want to do is have the initial frame with the glowy ball on one side. Then make a new animation frame... and hold shift while you drag the ball to the other side. Notice while you...

    Need glowing text tutorial!

    STEP 5 STEP 5: This is optional, but if you want to add a little color to the text, create a new layer, then make a selection based on the text layer's shape (cmd+click the layer thumbnail). Feather the selection just slightly and fill with the color of your choice. Now reduce the fill opacity...

    Need glowing text tutorial!

    STEP 4 STEP 4: Make a levels adjustment layer. This is what will make the white fuzzy stuff we've been making disappear. The idea here is that the levels are such that the white will only show when these two semi-transparent layers overlap and make the white opaque enough to register with the...

    Need glowing text tutorial!

    STEP 3 STEP 3: Make a new layer. Draw a vertical line with a thick, feathered brush using something like white. Now gaussian blur that line until it's very very feathered, almost just a blob of translucent glow. See attached image for a better idea of what I'm talking about.

    Need glowing text tutorial!

    STEP 2 STEP 2: Duplicate that layer and do a radial blur set to zoom. Filters > blur > radial blur. Then just check mark the box that says "zoom". Now switch the settings for amount to something higher, go a little more than you'll want in the end because some of this will get clipped.

    Need glowing text tutorial!

    STEP 1 You're in luck, I found my original PSD and I think I have the process I was using figured out (I made this like 3 years ago, so I'm relearning what I did heh). STEP 1: Make a black background, this is important since the effect relies on building image contrast. I'm betting with...

    Need glowing text tutorial!

    Whew... well... that was done using either compositing / FX software such as Adobe After Effects or possibly a 3D rendering app. You could fake it in Photoshop... but it's not going to look quite the same. Ironically I was working on a tutorial to fake that in Photoshop, but never finished...

    Problem pasting quickmask

    Quickmasking allows you to make semi-transparent selections. What's probably happening is that when you make the quickmask you aren't making it with 100% black and white as your fill colors, or you have the mask blurry in some area. When you return to the standard edit mode, the marching ants...

    font request

    If that is the only difference and you can't find the font itself, try using the tracking, kerning, and leading options to adjust the spacing to your liking.

    Adding item to image / Deleting background items???

    This isn't a flat surface that the book is resting on. It will be way way way more involved than just cloning out the object. The entire top of the chair will have to be painted in by hand or moved in from another reference image. Not a quick job, especially if you are new to Photoshop. It would...

    the pen tool?

    Some very very well done tutorials at this site. You should read every single one of them over and over. The pen tool: http://www.thegoldenmean.com/technique/pen1.html Difficult edge extractions. I really like this type of technique... basics are explained here...

    Print master can't be better than Photoshop!!!! What gives I'm at my wits end! P

    They should be the same resolution. Here's the thing. If you deal with pixels it doesn't matter... you can ignore the resolution. So if you have a 10inch by 10inch design at 300DPI you will have a 3000pixel by 3000pixel image. If you want to have 3 images across and 3 images down... the other...

    Print master can't be better than Photoshop!!!! What gives I'm at my wits end! P

    Wow... uhh... I just read that a bunch of times... and I'm still a little shaky on what you're trying to do and what exactly it is you're actually doing... but I'll give it a shot to see if I can help. Bear in mind that I haven't used Elements much but the basics of the process shouldn't be much...

    help on wedding photo !!

    Make a copy of the image onto another layer. Desaturate that layer. Add a layer mask to the grayscale layer and mask out the bouquet thus showing the color through the masked portion. (and don't listen to anyone that comes along later and tells you to use any of the erase tools... it's just...

    the pen tool?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "get all of the fine detail". What exactly are you trying to do here?

    new user-need some basics (i.e. minumum specs for printing)

    Line screen would be in LPI ;) Fireworks, last I checked, had no ability to deal with color management or CMYK. For offset printing you will need both of these things. Welcome to PSG. Good luck. :)

    How to update text from psd

    Photoshop is not a web development program. It's best to place text after you've exported the images from Photoshop by using another program that's geared for web design. Welcome to PSG.

    Matte VS. Glossy Display

    Screen surface has nothing to do with what colors are produced from the screen. Your particular eyes and the environment in which the computer is being used will have an effect on your perception of those colors, but in a dark room... the same TFT display behind a glossy face and with only the...
