Photoshop :: Any Good PS Tutorials For Painting Gold/Silver?
Nov 10, 2007
how to use the airbrush or the other painting tools to duplicate reflective surfaces manually like gold, silver, platinum, copper, bronze, etc?
I would like to take for example a line drawing and duplicate a golden belt buckle, ring, gold chain, a chrome bumper, anything like that. I have experimented with gradients and trying out the airbrush, but it doesn't seem to get the effect I'm trying to apply.
i am hoping to learn to paint with photoshop but can't seem to find a good tutorial. I don't have a tablet so mine never looks as good as theirs does. Can someone tell me where i can find a tutorial by someone not using a tablet.
Also, those speed things don't help because i can't tell what they are using. If no one can find a tutorial by someone using a mouse, then any good tutorial (that i could still follow with a mouse) will do.
I would like to change silver to be a gold (with magic of photoshop, I don?t need to go to the gold shop )
I enclose here two images. Original and after coloring. For the coloring, after setting the color, I change Normal mode to Hard Light mode. (I found the technique from tutorial in internet)
I am not satisfy with the result, since it looks fake (not that smooth). Is there any other way to smoothen the colorization of the image?
I have Elements 7. I've been using it for a couple of years and know my way around from playing with it but am certainly no expert. I am a jewelry designer with a small home web based business. I offer designs in both silver and gold and wanted to know if I can just change the color of a piece from silver to gold in elements. It's a huge amout of time and money remaking every piece in both metals--I am on a shoestring budget so this is a big deal. (I am attaching a photo as an exaple of what I'd need to convert below)
I stumbled upon a website that offers (you pay them to do it) realistic gold and silver graphics.I was wondering how can I make this happen? Do I need to download specific plugins?
I'm having issues when printing from CorelDraw X5, These issues are only on our newest machine so its a fresh clean install of the printer, OS and Corel itself, So I'd like to know how I can get my printer to print exactly what I view on screen, Some colors come out fine however others tend to be different, For example:
When I print a color which displays as a light grey/silver in corel, It prints this in a Lilac-ish color. When I try to print gold it comes out more of a yellow rather than the gold in Coreldraw,
From what I've read using the search on the forums, I must have my monitor, printer and corel all using the same colour profile, I've tried this but to no avail (Maybe I'm not doing it right?) The majority of my documents are in CMYK and I have the same problem from both new documents and ones I've saved from before (i.e the gold was to be a re-print of a customer order) .
I'm trying to find a place where I can buy paintings and put them on the cover of my books. They would have to be royalty free. I"m ok with paying some money. Is there dvd's of pictures or paintings that can be bought.
I was messing around with the fire technique (its awesome) and I was wondering if there are any tutorials out there that go over smoke as good as this site's tutorials went over the fire. If anyone could post me a link to a good smoke technique page it would be greatly appreciated. I notice that eSJayBee posted a thread called "Anyone care for a sig" and the smoke in that looked awesome,
I want to learn how to use Illustrator since most of my graphical knowledge is for photoshop and flash. Since Illustrator is a great vector program I'd like to learn how to make them. I've searched all over the internet for tutorials on how to use the program and to make vector art but I havnt been able to find any good tutorials. Can someone point me in the direction of some good tutorials on how to do vector art? Or if someone wants to write a tutorial on it ...
I'm just starting out a professional fashion photographer and want to learn how the pro's retouch their work. I know the basics but where do I go from here?
i'm trying to do is use a gradient. i want one side of the gradient to be one color, then the other side to be clear with no color and/or have an image on that other side kinda like the example image that is provided below.
Formerly using other image software, I have just loaded up CS2 and have a quick project to output that has about 1,000 images in it. All the images need to be stretched width wise by about 133%. Can someone direct me to a quick way to do this on ALL the images quickly instead of one by one as I did with my old software? The images are all .BMP's
Also, and second to the above, if someone can direct me to Adobe CS2 tutorials either free online or purchasable on DVD that would be quite helpful.
i am just looking for some tutorials that can show me how to do graphics design using photoshop. Most of the books show how to use PS for image manipulation, but i want to learn how to design attractive graphics.
Anytime I try to cutout a piece of an image and paste it into another image, the final result always turns out bad. It looks exactly like what it is...a cutout pasted onto another image.
Are there any good tips or tutorials on what to do to an image cutout to make it blend more seamlessly into another image?
I ve bought PS11 and when I get to the Video tutorials Page I can roughly understand what the Instructors say because they speak way too fast for my italian ears and cannot make much of what they say.
My question is this; how can I slow down the audio in a Tutorials? I m sure Adobe has ways to reduce the audio in their tutorials.

I'm trying to make some book covers and get a decent emboss effect. I'm only using Photoshop Elements 7 but it does have an Emboss facility in the Stylise part of the Filters menu.
The problem is that whatever I do the embossing always comes out in white/silver when I'm trying to get black. Why the hell is that and why can't it be changed? Does anyone know how?
