I've been interested in using GIMP to create a multicolor streamer effect similar to that on the American cover of Manifold: Space (image here). The problem is that I'm not sure what tools, settings and/or effects to use to make such an effect.
I would like to know the quickest way to create face in hole type photo templates. I was at Universal studios and was impressed by the speed they could create face on body images. I am thinking it has to do with lasso select tool with a feather on edges > invert selection.
Also what is the quickest way to make the photo face match the original face color. (is there some kind of color select to do this?)
Is there a way to use this program to create a double exposure effect? Ican do it with my 35mm camera manually while taking pics. But was not sureif you can create the same digitally?
Basically I have 2 images, 1 is a texture background and the other is a face. I wanna create the effect that the face is blended into the photo just like in this one:
How to create a cool rainbow nebula text effect that you can play with. This is a fairly easy effect to achieve.
The result will look something like this:
1. Create a New project and set your dimensions. In this case, I am going to use 500 x 200. This part is up to you.
2. I think this effect goes best with a dark color(black) so use the fill tool to turn your background black(or your color pick if it is different).
3. Next, add your text using the text tool. I believe the font Century Gothic goes well with this. However, I am going to use my logo with this. Make sure whatever you do, if you use your logo or not, that your subject is white.
4. Right-click on the text/logo layer in the layer panel and select Alpha to Selection. Then create a New Layer and go the Filters→Render→Clouds→Plasma and click OK. Put this layer on the below the text one if it is not already.
5. Now Gaussian Blur the text layer by 5 pixels and set the Layer Mode to Overlay.
6. (This step is optional. I am going to do it though because it gives a good result in my opinion.) Duplicate the Plasma Layer and Gaussian Blur it by 5 pixels. Then you can play around with the opacity with the Layer Mode on Screen, I set mine to 50%. Then duplicate the text layer and lower the opacity which I did to 50%. This gives the text more shine.
I am looking to create text words that have a silver/bright mirror effect. The effect might look like silver liquid (water) effect. Or do you know what software it could be designed on.
I made a multicolor gold gradient the I want to use several times. Is there any way to save it so I have it for future use? I'm using XP&D7 by the way.
I have made a film and seperated it into frames. I was wondering whether there was a automated process in photoshop to help me create a similar effect to the image above.
Is it possible to create a Hi Res styled effect with Photoshop alone, or is it just down to the original images limitations?The high gloss and full depth luster look amazing, is that just down to a good image then tweaked?
I have attached a logo I want to create. The text is running through this silhouette I have made and when it runs through the silhouette I want to change the text from black to white in only the places it is on top of the silhouette so it can be read.
I'm trying to create the same effect on the top of the page for a poster I am working on, but I cannot figure it out. See the red cloudish looking part on top where the heading is written.
I have a machine and I want to make it look like it's sitting on a shiny smooth surface, and I want it to reflect on the surface.
I have played around with the liquify and I am apparently very bad at it because it just distorts it too much. I want it to be a fairly clean replica, like a mirror.
I have photographs of mine that I would like to use as sketches in my textbooks. Do you know how I can create a sketch/drawing effect of photographs with photoshop?
I'm after creating a series of spot/dots that gradually get smaller the further away from the center in a dissolving effect. Ideally stemming from a radial pattern if this makes sense?
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I am curious on how to achieve the effect shown in the movie Sweeny Todd. I am talking about the grey and dark effect. I want to do this for some of my photos.
