urze Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I hope the video will help that we see more screens like this: http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=21380 Full Edit:Be aware that there is no voice-over and i use a German layout of Photoshop , but it is really basic and self explaining and you can easily identify the tools I'm using by looking at the toolbar. The filter that i used is "Filter- Gaussian Blur".For colorsettings i used "Image- Adjust- Levels" and "Image- Adjust- Hue/Saturation" And if you are still confused you can find a German-English translation of Photoshop here: http://www.oweiss.com/articles/photoshop-glossary.htm#Men%FC%20File%20/%20Datei Edit: could you just write a short tutorial? There are four steps. 1. Separate the Different fields of depth from each other, in this example its the interior of the cockpit and the outer environment. I used the "Magic Wand/Zauberstab" (play with the values of it to get the best results) and the "Polygon Lasso/Polyagon-Lasso" for this task (press "shift" to grow your selection and "alt" to reduce it, while you are using the tools). Place separate regions on different layers by copy and paste. 2. Use the Filter "Gaussian Blur/Gauscher Weichzeichner" on the first layer/inner environment to simulate a focus outside the cockpit. Add missing regions at the second layer/outer environment with the "Clone Stamp/Kopierstempel". 3. Use the "Smudge/Wischfinger" and "Blur/Weichzeichner" to remove sharpness from the more distance parts of the background and reflections of the canopy. 4. Change the color settings. Therefor go to menu "Image-> Adjust-> Levels/Bild-> Einstellen-> Tonwertkorektur" and also rise the saturation "Image> Adjust-> Hue/Saturation / Bild-> Einstellen-> Farbton/Saettigung". 1 Leftside Limited - ideas and solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urze Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Second Photoshop tutorial Enhancing the environment and adding heat blur. Download This tutorial takes 32 minutes. Be aware that there is no voice-over and i used a German layout of Photoshop , but it is really basic and self explaining and you can easily identify the tools I'm using by looking at the toolbar. So you can turn on any music you like :) . Orginal Screen Photoshoped There are four steps: 1.Enhancing the environment Add clouds with the Burn/Nachbelichter and edit it with the Blur/Weichzeichner and the Smudge/Wischfinger. Edit The background (trees and buildings). Select them and edit the color with Hue-Saturation/Farbton-Sдttigung and Levels/Tonwertkorrektur and also with the Burn/Nachbelichter. 2.Enhancing the grass First select all areas and give a simple structure to it with Filter> Texture/Strukturierungsfilter> Texturizer/Mit Struktur versehen. If you are ready, use the Filter> Blur/Weichzeichnungsfilter> Motion Blur/Bewegungsunschдrfe (only a little to 90 degrees). 3.Adding heat blur First select regions that are not affected by the heat blur (the cockpit of the A-10 in the front) and place them on a second layer with copy and paste. Go back to the layer you want to modify. Select areas that would probably be affected by the heat of the engines. (I often use the menue Select/Auswahl> Feather/Weiche Auswahlkante. So I don't have to rework the borders so much.) Than use Filter> Distort/Verzerrungsfilter> OceanRipple/Ozeanwellen. Adjust the values to your needs. Finish it with your 'good friends' Blur/Weichzeichner and Smudge/Wischfinger. Unite both layers into one. 4.Light and finish I used Render/Renderingfilter> Lightning Effects/Beleuchtungseffekte> Soft spot/Weicher Strahler. Adjust the color with Adjust> Levels/Tonwertkorrektur and/or Adjust> Hue-Saturation/Farbton-Sдttigung. Add blur where it is needed with your 'good ol' friend'. Blur/Weichzeichner again. As a last step I added some graining to get away from a clean look with Filter> Noise/Stцrungsfilter. There are many ways to Rome, everyone has his own techniques and likings , this shows just mine. I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial and I'm interested in your results! Please, share them with me.
