Tutorial: Pseudo HDR
This „trick“ works on image material that shows neither total black nor total white. A studio model in front of a white background leads to horrible results, even. So be warned.
Tutorial: Head work
It’s amazing that even with very little artistic talent you can create realistic images in Photoshop. As an example, I’ll show you the creation of a woman whose hair, skin, eyes, nose and mouth were drawn.
Different versions within a single file – Layer Comps
Photoshop allows you to save several variations of a composition in the same file by using so-called layer comps. This setting remembers the position, opacity, blending mode and style of a layer. A separate layer comps window gives you easy control.
Tutorial: Gloss & Glow
Very smooth surfaces reflect their surroundings slightly, very hot elements glow or even emit light. With the layer style Outer Glow and the blending mode Overlay, text effects like this become a walk in the park.
Ambigrams in Photoshop
Ambi means „all-sided“ – like the yin yang symbol. It’s perfectly symmetrical writing which can be turned or flipped and still looks exactly the same. They stand for perfect symmetry or even for signs full of wonder. This article shows you a technique how to do your own simple ambigram.
Tutorial: Planet System
Creating a huge celestial body seems like a daunting task, but it’s actually very easy if you use the right texture. A few layer styles and the Spherize distortion filter are the main ingredients which make for a realistic planet.
Photoshop CS4: Intelligent extensions with panels
Since CS4 it’s possible to extend Photoshop with so called panels. Panels are palettes that you can easily create yourself. Based on Flash, they give you numerous options that go far beyond actions and even scripts, such as sending email directly from Photoshop, blog infos, watermark, lorem ipsum, or grid generators.
The channel trick – Selecting hair
Extracting fine hair detail from a background is one of the most tricky jobs in Photoshop. A professional way to do it takes you to the channel palette, where you prepare a mask that can be loaded as a selection.
Tutorial: Stripe look
A mixture of illustration and photo material is a current trend in which the stripe look is used quite frequently. Usually people will direct you towards custom brushes and shapes, but actually Photoshop itself offers a number of options to generate stripes. For that we apply little used filters like „Wave“.
Tutorial: Photos in a grunge look
Grunge doesn’t only refer to a style of music, it’s also a stylistic direction in image processing with Photoshop, where the image material is shown as old and dirty. Since the program itself produces rather clean results, we need textures to give us the grime we desire. These require only a few steps to be adjusted to the grunge look.
Tutorial: Grungy frame
In photography, but also in web design and other areas, grunge describes a certain image style where smudges, scratches and noise are the desired objective. Old and used is a very welcome look. It’s very easy to do a grungy frame in Photoshop.
Sexy retouch for a soft skin
You might have asked yourself now and then „How do I make a soft skin without destroying the pores?“. In this workshop I’ll show you how this kind of touch-up works, and how you can conserve the pores. This goes from basic retouch up to powdering the skin.
Workshop: Color systems
You know RGB, CMYK and LAB, but only few designers know about the long history of very different systems that came before the ones we know today, a history that includes well-known names like Newton, da Vinci and Goethe, all of whom developed their own color theories.
Tutorial: Vintage look
The internet holds numerous articles and workshops about optimizing and restoring old photographic material. But it is far more exciting and creative to turn fresh photos from your digital camera into old and aged pictures. You will also need some vignetting, scratches and a realistic base.
