[T.LUU]

GASP O______O
Someone made a "filtering" tutorial already?
Darn T_______T
I just figured it out myself
[Yeah, all those random questions I've been asking over the past few weeks were to learn that one thing U________U]
and I thought I was gonna be all proud of myself like,
"YEAH! I figured it out all by myself! No shortcuts, no nothing!"
But then ... yeah -0-;;
What if I'm classified as "one of those people who learned how to 'filter' from a tutorial"??
Since I learned how to do it around the same time rainfall. posted up a tutorial x_________x;;

Anyhoo, I have a question about the pen tool.
If I want to outline a picture and it has a lot of detail in it [a person with kinda spikey-ish spaced out hair]
do I absolutely HAVE to create new anchor points for every new bend or curve?
Or is there an easier way??
Thanks in advance :]

[anythingasian]

hey!

to the people who are responsible for putting up and maintaining this thread, thank you so much!

i've learned so much from you guys just by reading the tutorials in the past three days...

you've been a great help to me and my images...i was intimidated at first by this software but you guys made it seem a little easy on beginners like me...

i can't help but laugh at jason's annoyed remarks about people asking stupid questions...can't blame you dude...(pls appreciate the fact that i never fielded any to you)

anyway, just want to to say thanks again and my take on those people asking unbelievable questions, read, read, read and just go back and read and read the tutorials again and again and explore...

that's what i did...i'm creating stuff now but im no way good yet..who would be in just 3 days but i'm getting the hang of it and i think i will be addicted to this software...

great thread...great tutorials and all for free...many thanks!

im guessing (from the pictures) that the person either

a) took the picture twice, once without the guy, and once with
b ) took a pic of the empty bed and overlayed it onto the original, rubbing out excess to make it blend in
c) has scarily good blending skills,,,

or is there another way?

you can make your face look whiter by going to image>adjustments>brightness/contrast and moving the brightness bar to you liking
or you can go to image>adjustments>curves and move the line into a curve and experiment to your liking etc..
(in using ps 7.0 btw)



anyway, let me intro myself... im new to this thread (casue i dont go into tech section much) but been using ps for years now...anyway i wanted to share this site with heaps of free plugins>> http://www.richardrosenman.com/software/downloads/

and this site>>http://www.biorust.com/tutorials/index/
which has a lot of tutorials from very basics to advanced...but from scanning this thread soompi members have given heaps of awesome tutorial

[crazy4ken]

to remove something or someone from the picture like it's not
there you could use the clone tool, its the only way i think.... but it's tedious and depends
on the picture itself how hard or easy it is. thing is, your work must be neat so there wont be
obvious manipulation. from the pic above, it's like you clone a part of the wall and
the board and copy it over the person. hope that made sense.

The person who PSed that photo used the clone tool to 'erase' that person sitting in the background. You just simply set on (LOL, I know, nice choice of words) your clone tool and select an identical area to 'cover up' the unwanted or whatever.

Look closely--in the second picture, the picture frame's top and bottom border is completely identical. If you look even closer, you can see that the person didn't blur it a tiny bit to make the cloning less obvious since it's.. sharp?

Hope that helps. ^^;

Ah, this is a repost LOL. I didn't see the answer above me. I'm sorry. xD;

I'm not sure if this is exactly the right place for this but...

I have Adobe Flash CS3...it's hurting my head. Would anyone happen to know of any good tutorials for it? All I want to do is make my own mp3 player, but this is turning out to be more complicated then I thought >.<

I'm currently learning to make gifs using the tutorial made by Muddie Murda.
Can I know why my gif is plays so slow?
Where did I go wrong?

This is a Photoshop Tutorial thread, not a Flash Tutorial thread. You may want to take your question outside.

In the Animation window/palette, make sure that your delays aren't set to something really high. On each frame, there should be a delay setting on the bottom right (says 1.0 sec or #.# sec). Right-click or cmd-click on that part and put it to something lower (i.e., faster). Change your delays for all frames that seem "slow" to you.

If you've already done that but it seems like it's playing slower than it should, minimize the Animation window/palette as your GIF plays.

If this doesn't solve it, let us know.

Thanks for the reply
I tried changing to 0.1 sec and 0.0 sec. Both doesn't seem to work. Before that was 0.3sec
When I adjusted it to 0.1 or 0.0. The gif played half-way. o.O
I'm a noob at this. @_@

Since there are a hundred and one possible reasons why your gif may not be playing the way you expect it to, I would suggest starting fresh with a simple tutorial on how to create a very basic gif animation. Nothing fancy.
Master the basics, then move on.

[JayCy90]

^ Oh okay. Thanks for the reply.
I'll try to find a simpler tutorial that match my level Lol.

Hi, do you know how to make the effect in this guy's Face?




thanks.....

[Muddie Murda]

^ Hmm...effect on his face? I don't really see any "effect"...Unless you're talking about the glow on top.
BTW, the guy's HOT! Hahaha Who is he?

You mean in the program, it plays slow right? Or after you save it?

Because in Imageready, all my files play slow. I just know which time to save it on.
Then it plays normal after it's saved. If not, then I use "Animation Shop" To fix it because it's so much easier to fix the timing there to to use imageready.

[noire']

look carefully at his eyes and the pearly glow on his skin, its just make up technique and lighting?

i like that mythical effect, and how to make the glow on the top?

[`mythical]

I do think his face already retouched and the skin tone already pass photoshop zone.....

[elevatormusic]

noire': i KNOW in the index some where, there's a tutorial on changing eye color
it's most likely on the 2nd or 3rd

as for the pearly glow on the skin...i think it's the original lighting in the picture?
and the glow on the top
you could make a black background (on a new layer) and use a big soft brush and paint a little, then set that layer to screen?
i'm pretty sure that'll work

perhaps my favorite coloring psd to date, gosh haha i love this one (mostly because im a fan of the green-washed out look)

Icon Coloring PSD #6 by soy

how to get these
crop your image and have it as a base, duplicate it set the duplicate layer to screen and reduce the opacity. (honestly for this psd, you dont even have to screen, it looks darker that way, but if you want a lighter look, screening helps.)

soy's gif base pack



Whats in the zip ? Six images and Six psds of gif bases, that you can use while making gifs.

PLEASE DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE THIS ANYWHERE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.
i worked too darn hard on this, to have random people take this.

haha the simplest way to make gifs, no need for any extra programs or whatnot.

first off you need three basics things, Photoshop & Imageready (so anything below CS3, should work), and a Video/video site.

sites like veoh and youtube make life so much easier ( you don't have to stress on finding the right video or worry about wasting major memory space)



Tips :
- If you're going to make it for soompi, reduce your layers to like 15-17 for best results.

step one. make sure you have the clip you want

for this experience, im going to use a hyun bin clip, of course.



im going from 1:55 - 1:58

step two.
play, and pause, quickly. and on your keyboard click on the print screen button and then hit crtl + c for copy

and then in ps open a new doc and hit ctrl + v in it

you should get something like this :



step three.
continue to play and pause, until you finish the whole time sequence,
DON'T continue to open a new doc each time, just keep continue ctrl + v -ing to the step 2 doc

i ended up with 13 layers



step four.
take the crop tool



and crop the video box only.



you should get something like this, with all 13 layers in it.



step.five
now hit ctrl+ alt + i

and change the width/height to something suitable, i chose 100 for the width.



step six.
now go to file>> new>> and open a new 100 px by 100 px canvas

and go back to the previous canvas and hold down the shift button and click on the first layer and then the last layer



drag all the layers to the new 100 by 100 canvas



(dont you just love the crop tool ?)

step se7en.
after you start making it pretty and what not.

heres something you can do to reduce the layer size

go to

>> layer >>> flatten image
then i select the the video box area and right click and inverse selection (make sure you get everything ouside the video box) that i made & ctrl + c and then go
atl+crtl+z until i get back to my original layer



and then ctrl+p and delete all the decoration layers



so instead of like 20 something layers, you end up with the magic 15

after that, you click on



to transfer it to image ready

step eight.

make sure you have the animation and optimize tools up, to do so go to windows -- and go to animation.



step nine.

hide all the video layers but the first one (basically get rid of all the eyeballs for the video layers, but the first one)



step ten.

then in the animation box, alternate between the duplicate frame button
and making visible each of the invisible layers.



step eleven.


adjust the time for the layers by holding on the sec button, and change the time you want, usually .1-.2 seconds works, and having the last frame at like 1 sec is really good.



then go down to file -- save optimized as .. and save

and the final result after adding some final touches :



if its still too big, cause you want to follow the soompi regulations, use the optimize tool and lower the color number, until you get the right size
