CS3 Tutorial and Light Textures.


Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket to Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket




01. I dragged this image in to an 100x100 file, resized. Duplicated it. and resized again. Then I had this.

02. Added this light texture on 100% Screen, and moved down towards the corner.

03. Then I added selective colouring.
Red: -100 0 100 0
Yellow: 0 0 100 0
Neutrals: 6 0 -24 0

04. Next I added colour balance layer.
Midtones: 1 0 1
Highlights: -4 0 28
Shadows: -2 12 0

05. Then I duplicated the colour balance layer and set the duplicate to 43% opacity.

06. I created a hue/saturation layer and change the master saturation to 16.

07.Then I pressed ctrl+alt+shift+E and applied the filter radial blur at about 20 on spin to the new layer. Then I applied the radial blur set to spin @ 20 and erased the main parts of the image.

08. Then I added another hue/saturation with master saturation set to 16, but this time I turned down the yellow to -29.

09. Next I added this texture and put the blending mood to screen at 100%.

10. Then I pressed ctrl+alt+shift+E again and set the layer to soft light and erased the parts that I thought were too bright.

11. After that I grouped everything from the light texture onward. and duplicated the whole group(in lower verson you should be able to do this with sets).

12. Then in the second set I added this texture on multiply just before the texture I added in step 9.

13. Next I added a new layer with some tiny text.

14. Then set the whole second Group to 75% opacity.

And that's it!
I hope you find this useful.

Here's a screenshot of my layers that you can use to help guide you.

I believe that one of the masks came from here:http://www.absolutetrouble.com/brushes/pafiledb.php
and the other I'm not certain, if you know please comment and I'll add it in.



More light textures similar to the one I used in the tutorial.

Lovely textures and tutorial. Credited.

Can I ask, the 3x3 square you have with the samples: did you make that from scratch or is there some kind of generator? I thought I saw a link to a generator recently somewhere around here but now I can't find it. If you know, can you let me know?

HELP

Sorry, but...I downloaded the textures...but do I copy them and put them on photoshop, because I can't load them onto photoshop...

sorry. I am just so confused.

You should be able to open them in photoshop by going to FILE - OPEN, then you should be able to open them one by one.

Another way to open them is to right click while you have a texture selected and choose OPEN WITH and select photoshop from the list.

Once you have that done you can drag the textures on to the area you are working on. You can drag things by using the tool in the first row on the right side in the box on the left of the screen.

But before you do any of that you need to unzip the file.

Does that help?
I hope so. :)

Yes it should be but instead of grouping things, you have to use sets.

I just stumbled across your icons today and love them. I wanted to try to make one myself, but I'm not an icon maker, so...lol. What is selective coloring in regards to this project? I am aware of how to desaturate, and then add color back using layer masks, but I don't think you're talking about the same thing. Could you clarify for a noob pls?

Edit: duh, I just saw it in the layer list. ty for the tut!
