need help with photoshop

[leafer]

I am trying to learn photoshop and was wondering if you would be so kind in taking a look at a couple of videos on you tube and explain some of the process to me.

 

 

at 8:37 what did he do and how?

 

 

again at 1:22...

 

I know this isn't 3d modeling but I'm sure a lot of you guys know this by heart. I'm in the process of bring the characters in my screenplay to life. I'm trying to learn this as well as zbrush to get my on-line comic book project off the ground.

 

I'm all ears so any help is deeply appreciated.

no one?

I am sure (cause i am learning PS as well) that there are better sites to look for help then this one, just saying....

My condition for answering these questions... Use google, tutorials (not demos,) and websites devoted to graphic design for a question like this. You're asking people for Photoshop help for a comic book in a forum for 3d modeling of military vehicles. Basic "Posting And You" type stuff. ()

 

8:37... for the gradient effect, he CTRL-clicked the silhouette layer to select it, created a new layer, and drew a white-to-transparent gradient down the length of the selection. He lowered the opacity of the new gradient layer, and then merged it down onto the layer below with CTRL-e.

 

1:22... selected the highlight layer (eg, lighter details he was drawing atop the silhouette) and adjusted its levels using CTRL-L. (dragged the 50% slider left to darken the mid range.)

what exactly do you want to learn about or what are you asking? at 8:37 he does atleast 2-3 things.. this video playback is it's sped up.

 

same about the second video, he adjust the levels, pluss a couple of brush changes..

Or we could just tack on useless posts and give people negative rep for actually helping. :disgust: If you would read, you would have seen that the question was already answered, at least in some capacity, and your post was entirely redundant.

:gun_rifle:

 

I gave you a negative rep as a result of your mindless reply to my post

 

oh, and thanks for the negative rep from you too buddy. :wacko:

[aaron886]

Mindless reply? I think it makes pretty good sense... if you would learn to read, you wouldn't have made that post in the first place.

 

Rep goes around and comes around... Dish it out, and prepare to get it back!

Its better if you read the tutorials rather than watching videos because they are more comprehensive and easy to understand.

The tutorials are for the people who already passed the very beginner level.You can't learn the basics of Photoshop reading tutorials. e.g Behaviour of layers, tick boxes (there are so many) snapping ,guides etc... My advice will be try yourself in the beginning:create basic shapes, doc types, learn how to control layers,effects, masking.. and then when you feel yourself comfy you can go tutorials. In the beginning may be, a beginner forum created by people like yourself; q&a's can help much more than cold blooded tutorial sites.

 

BTW: Any questions and i'll happily answer it..

[dotChuckles]

I suggest getting yourself over to http://www.creativecow.net/

 

There are plenty of tutorials there, but the real gold is in the forums. It's where most of us creative professionals ask questions and a lot of newbies as well. Good friendly people there with a wealth of knowledge. You're will get all your questions answered there.

 

Also if you're looking for some good beginners material, the Adobe Classroom in a Book series is excellent at getting you up and running. They're not too expensive and cover pretty much everything you will need for every day stuff. Also check out the Sams books.

 

I've been using Photoshop, After Effects and FCP for ten years now in the video industry... I started by hitting the books and using google. There's plenty of stuff out there, you just need to search.

 

Also the Adobe help centre that come with the apps, is not a bad place to start either.

 

You'll get there... It's like eating an elephant... take it one bite at a time.

There is no knowledge without self experience. I didn't say only read the tutorials, its implied that while one reads the tutorial one should also practically try by one's self.

 

Again there is no alternate of practical experience. I did learn it the same way and yes from the scratch.

Of course, but once you get to a certain point in learning, it becomes more about technique and creative development than just following a set of prescribed steps. But throughout the process, it's important to experiment. I learned most things by trying them, not through tutorials.
