Photoshop :: Carbon Fiber Tutorial For A Large Area
Aug 6, 2004
I have recently been put in charge of redesigning an auto trade magazine. Carbon fiber is a very popular material for use in cars and I am wanting to do a header one of the sections with a carbon fiber graphic. All the tutorials I have found don't look that great when printed at 300 dpi at 2 inches tall. The carbon fiber on this image however is amazing looking.
I want to replace the sign on this picture. It will be used in a brochure so it needs to look preaty good. I have tried several times with the Clone stamp tool but each time it looked terible!
Does any one know how I coud do this or a link to where I could find out how?
how to create a fuzzy fiber, a string, (think of yarn that is used for knitting sweaters), and only found a link to creating rope. I want to create a soft, fuzzy piece of yarn. I've experimented with several brushes and found the chaulk brush and grass brush work pretty well, but when I try to apply a bevel, it flattens the look so it is unrealistic. Please suggest what I should do in my layer styles.
I've been trying to calculate large areas using fills but I keep encountering a problem with some of the hatches not showing an area and thus ruining my calculation. I've found out that I can correct it by removing certain crossing point between lines as is shown below in my screenshots. Is there any reason this is causing a particular problem and can I avoid it to save me having to go back over my hatches checking for these malformed hatches?
A long long time ago I saw a tutorial on a site that has disappeared it was called 'Ray of Light 2' on www.fundy.net. Now I have gone looking for the tutorial again and cannot find it anywhere unfortunately.
So on that note I was wondering if anybody knew of some good techniques or tutorial to create a light burst behind text/shapes. Now being the awkward git that I am heehee, I am looking for something as realistic as possible.
Okay, I've spent too much time in google looking for a site with tutorials or something I can learn to CG engough so that I can make this hand look better than it does...
I thought as a nice gesture, I would write a little tutorial here on understanding the many faces of colors, and how they are used online and in print. RGB. It stands for Red, Green, Blue; the 3 colors used in combination to produce every color on your computer screen. On your computer there are 256 shades of each of these colors.
I just spent a week coding this nice little tutorial script. Currently i have very few tutorials, but with your help i am hoping to have more. There is no requirement to link to me. Just upload a 40x40 icon, and the URL to your tutorial and your done!
My hope is to have a nice little spot for people to come for photoshop tutorials. It's more like a portal than anything. Personally I love photoshop myself, and would love to see my site grow. But this isnt possible without you guys' help.
I'm copying some vector art (monochromatic flats) from Illustrator and pasting into Photoshop as Smart Object. I am making selections from the flats to create individual paths to color however the edges aren't lining up. I end up with gaps between the edges and the lines are jagged.
Can someone please explain anti-aliasing? I am following a few video tutorials, one is saying turn it on and the other says to turn it off.
2) Take pencil tool and draw a straight line of 1 pixel, then draw another 31 pixels lower The color is 102/102/126
3) Take the magic wand and select the part between the two lines.
4) Set forground color to 168/167/191 and background color to white
5) Take gradient tool, hold shift, move from top to bottom and release your mouse
6) Deselect and make a new selection. Make it 3 pixels high and move it so you got the dark blue line and one light blue line above your selection.

7) Take the gradient tool again, take the gradient that sais foreground to transparent and make a gradient in the selection.
8) Take pencil tool again. Take color 188/189/205 and draw a line above the bottom blue line Take color 228/227/227 and draw another line above the one you just drew.

Now if you want some color variations just go to Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation and play with the settings.
Anyone happen to know of a good "melting film" tutorial? I'm looking for a photoshop version of what we've all probably seen on tv. Film strip stopping and getting melted by the projector bulb.
While attempting a tutorial out of Scott Kelby's "Down and Dirty Tricks" for Photoshop CS, I could not get the History Brush to operate. When I clicked on it and touched on the canvas all I got was a 'No Entry' sign and a messeage that read "Could not use History Brush because current canvas size does not match that of history state."
I have searched all over for a tute or techinique for making waves and realistic water in PS. And to show waves breaking on the bow of a ship as it passes through the water, but I can't seem to find anything. I have tried it myself a hundred time without much sucsess. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I am looking to create a collage made from 100 photos (all taken high res) to be printed large, approx 120cm x 50cm. To be able to print this size I need to keep the high resolution and hence looking for a large file output.
I was looking for displacement map tutorials through Google and came across a listing that showed a man coming through a wallpaper like background. The link was a photoshopgurus.info address but when I attempted to follow the link I received your "typewriter" error page. Will this tutorial be available in the future?
