no i mean not font but actual picturish type look. like when someone does a banner and it has the magazine type letters. where you cut individual letters out of dif magazines.

also how do you move the text on one document into the picture of another?? like i know you have to lock them or something to move them?? cus i tried to move my text into a different picture and it only took on part it didnt take the effects.

I was wondering how you make a screencap? (:

[kathymon.]

^ Lovely, on your key board you should have a tab/button/key/thingy that says "Print Screen" or something alike. It's usually above Insert.
If you're wanting a screen cap from a movie or whatever, then you'll need to download a program.

^"Magazine letter type of look" is honestly just wtff.

HI hi

I was wondering if anyone can make a tutorial with making these icons textures? like this one:

or

With this image of Seung-Ri or another person:



Thank you! i'm am going crazy! because i can't seem to do it! thank you. <3

[jasonyc]

jasonyc; I know you're trying to be as reasonable as possible because people ask dumb questions or never look closely before asking, but it's a little irrational if you just go out on them. Yes, I do know that some questions can be unclear sometimes, but you can't expect everyone to perfect when asking a question. I don't know, but I just feel that since you created the thread, you would have more patience of the mindless questions asked.

Hello likeYOUknow.

I believe your assessment of my responses to some posts on this thread is a bit misguided.
I don't mind people asking basic Photoshop questions. In fact, I like them. They're easier to answer, and more people can chime in to assist, because lord knows I'm not around that much.

I don't expect ANYone to be 'perfect' when asking a question.

Here's what I DO expect.
If you know how to operate a computer and know how to carry on a conversation with your friends/parents/teachers/deli owners, there's absolutely NO reason why you can't take an extra three minutes to THINK about your question, type out a post that makes sense to EVERYone (and not just those who have the ability to read minds or government-level cryptographers who break codes all day). BASIC communication skills.

The posters who fail to communicate clearly will more often than not have major issues with following the simplest of directions. Ex: The very first post of this thread lists a bunch of tutorials that have been there since week ONE of this thread. And day after day we get the same questions for the numerous tutorials already posted. It lengthens the thread unnecessarily, causing everyone else to have to click through ANOTHER page before getting to the content they want to see.

You may think I'm too harsh at times, but I'd rather spend time with the users who have enough consideration (for whoever might end up helping them) to make it as easy as possible for them to assist. When you go to the store to get ice cream, you don't ask the clerk behind the counter where the 'cold white stuff that's hard when cold, but melty when hot' is. You ask him/her where the ice cream is. Sure, not everyone knows the proper Photoshop terms. LEARN THEM. That's why we're here. We're not here to make things up, but I constantly see people just tagging on words to what they're describing because...because I don't know why. Maybe they think it sounds cool to call something a Filter or Filtering. Then another person does the same. Not knowing that the term they've just 'learned' is in fact, incorrect. This hurts the overall purpose of this thread. I'm here to make people 'smarter' about Photoshop. Not make myself dumber.

So, before you decide to play hero to the 'less fortunate' next time, please give the situation a good thinking over. Uneducated corrections can do more harm than good sometimes.
And so you don't feel completely terrible, I do understand the point you're trying to make. But your thinking is a bit backwards in this case.

Take care.

sorry... ahahha it's kinda hard to describe but i'll try my hardest.............

right now i am making an icon on photoshop. while i am working on it in photoshop, the icon's colors look perfectly fine (like, they are the colors that i picked out and the same shade of colors that i chose for the icon)... then after i finished making the icon and saved it in .gif format... and i open it in outside of photoshop to view, the color shades come out darker than what i originally chose.

it happens for everything i make now in photoshop. everytime i save something that i made in photoshop, the shades look differently from what they were originally supposed to be...

does that make more sense?

Yes. It makes perfect sense. Thank you for clarifying.
GIFs, in general, work from a much narrower color range than that of JPGs.
What happened in your case, most likely, is that Photoshop (based on your GIF export quality settings) chose the colors that were the closest to your colors and still within the GIF color palette, but not the exact color it would have used if it were exported as a mid-high quality JPG.

Sometimes quality isn't the only issue. The color issue is confusing with JPG to TIFF conversions as well, regardless of quality.
My advice is to play with the GIF export settings until you're satisfied, or use the 'web safe' color palette (put a check mark in the 'web safe colors' box in the color chooser) to limit your color choices to those that GIFs can display natively (do this before you start your project, if you know you're going to export it as a GIF).

This may solve your issue.
If it doesn't, I hope it at least helped you understand what's occuring with your colors.

[jasonyc]

And a quick note to all:

Feel free to bash me (if the situation calls for it) all you like.
If you see me doing/saying/teaching something you don't agree with, please call me on it. I'll either agree, or disagree.
Even if you decide to call me a douchebag.
Bring it.

I'm not one of those power trippy, ban-people types. In fact, I don't even know if you can ban someone.

One thing about me that most people know - I've said this many times, is that I am TOTALLY CONCEITED about Photoshop. I will roll my eyes until the cows come home.
I am a Photoshop snob. Admittedly. But not about life.

P.S.
Muddie Murda is also an admin on this thread, so if you've made a tutorial that you'd like to see on the front page, let her or I know, and we'll do our best to get it up there.
I think she's still around...

--Kathy,

thanks kathy. (: so .. i just press it? i still don't get it. LOL >.<

[xxsarahhoangerz]

You just press it when you have the picture of what you want to screencap. Then you can go on paint, and right click on your mouse and click paste. It will then show everything on your screen at that time.

Hope that made sense. ^^;

Well there's a font called Earwig Factory. It looks sort of cut out magazine letters.

and there's this little applet called Blackmail.

Use VirtualDub

I was wondering...what is the easiest way to get a picture out of their background? like this...

after:

I have photoshop 7.0 btw...oh! and which version of photoshop is better? 7.0 or cs1? What's the difference between the two?

[satisfaction!]

^ for me, I just extract it out.
or you can just use the lasso tool and trace around the pic and copy&paste it out ^^

as for the difference between 7.0 and cs1, i shall come back at you with that answer in a moment.
Cuz i asked the same question months ago.. so hold up i'll edit this =]

edit__

^ hmm.. there are differences between the two, definitely. but most people don't even need to use the newer features in CS2 anyway, so yeah i suppose if you don't think you'll have to be doing vanishing point or removing lens distortion (well, there's more than just that but that's what i use CS2 for) then there isn't much point upgrading.

i want to see what cs3 is like, though. anyone got cs3 beta yet?

My experience is using the magnetic lasso tool. It works best for me. Just go around the image and the magnetic tool will do the job, but be careful anyway.

im really sorry that i keep bothering you with my questions but it's just not working still. the colors are still looking weird and different...
i finally found a way to show you through pictures what's going on...

so i opened up my picture from retreat onto photoshop and i played around with the brightness/contrast... and it turned out like this http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/1146/thephotoshopuk4.jpg (i 'print screened' it and then saved it)
but then i saved it and the picture turned darker, like this http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/638/dsc00448iu5.jpg (this is the regular without the print screen)

was i being clear enough? it's just weird because when im working with my picture, it looks a certain way.. and then when i save it, it looks differently...

[xlilvietgrl]

myREVERIE.--How do you extract it out? Thanks for the explanation of the differences!
cookiemonster. -- pen tool? There's sooo much in photoshop that i don't know about yet...ahaha
esp�ce* -- ty!! I used Magnetic lasso too...but i thought it took too long for me to cut off the background...I took like 20+ to cut the background off that Boa+Brian picture i posted up there...@_@
