I've been noticing a bunch of grunge sigs lately and i think they are really cool. I would like to do one of my own but im not sure how. Can anyone explain how to do them or show me where i can get a tutorial to do one?
I'm trying to create a few sigs but being a photoshop rookie its gets tough trying to match the vets. I've done some tutorials on creating cool text effects and I've made some images I like. How do I get the two together? When I tried I lost the effect on the text.
First one TBH looks kinda crappy because someone had a heavy finger while he was masking this. But how the piece of background on the right was made? Some grunge brush + masking or it's just a filter/effect?

Now, this one kicks ass IMO and it's not so hard to do exept the left side - how how how?

Yeah, guess what. I don't think that the yellow light was originally on the render which has been used, how to make that and the reflects?
Quick question if I may, I was trying to make a Sig for another forum and was wondering... How do I keep the background (outer edges) transparent instead of having a boxed in look. GIF doesnt seem to work, it stays white but im guessing im doing something wrong? I'm decent with photoshop btw, just not so hot on web posting. You can get technical if needed.
Can some direct my to a good, possibly free, stock photo site for acquiring grungy textures to apply to images with blend modes and layer mask. Hoping for more organic results than what I get with the filters.
I'm making some grunge brushes from a photo and there is some color on the part of the image I want to make the brush. I want to keep the color as it is and make a brush out of it. Is this possible? When I select the area of the image and goto define brush, the brush is just as black and stuff. The reason I can't just change my foreground color is because the image has multiple colors. Anyway I hope someone understands what I want here.
Okay so I got the grunge brushes off of expertstudio but now I need more.... I need stuff to create things like there are on the splash page of teamphotoshop (splash 17, or splash 13). Anyone have some cool brushes I could have? Thanks for the advice in advance.
I'm an advanced Photoshop user but I am hardly literate in Illustrator, and I was wondering if, and if so how it might be possible to create these effects in Photoshop?
Would anyone know how to achieve a frame like this in a dark room and is it possible to recreate from scratch digitally using photoshop or other software?
I have just downloaded paint.net and wanted to know if and how to add grunge brushes.I'm new to paint and photoscape.I have Windows 7 with IE 8 browser,if that matters.
I am trying to add some texture to some text by subtracting a grunge pattern from it. I've expanded the appearance of the text, so it is now shapes. However, when I place the texture shape over it and try to subtract it from the letter shapes, it only leaves me with the first letter.
Is there another way to do something like this? I would rather not have to keep subtracting the pattern from each letter individually. I've tried ungrouping the letters, then uniting them in the Paths panel, but it doesn't seem to be working either.
I made a design that consists of multiple shapes; the entire thing has been expanded and grouped. I image traced and expanded a grunge texture that I would like to "cut out" of my design. I placed the texture over the design, selected both Groups (texture and design), and tried Minus Front and Minus Back (among a few others just to test) and the two both leave nothing but a couple speckles from the texture.
I've created a logo with a grunge texture over the font in Illustrator CS5. When I try and create a compound path with the grunge texture I lose the detail. Here's one of the letter to show what it looks like before and after creating the compound path using the minus front pathfinder option. On the left is how I'd like it to look.
Although it doesn't look like much of a difference when printed it flattens out even more. I've tried every grouping option I could think of, used the pathfinder options and used this thread: [URL].... to try creating it using a transparency. Nothing gets the detail I need.
I started to get this strange error with my Photoshop when making a new document in Photoshop and got the following error: "cannot initiate Photoshop because Photoshop cannot create any more windows".
I thought the easiest thing to do would be to reinstall (Photoshop needs reinstalling extremely often unfortunately), but now when I try and open the program it just give an alert beep and closes back up. Even though I rarely use ImageReady, I opened that up to check and it does the same behavior.
Can anyone tell me what color settings I need to set in photoshop in order to avoid this from happening? It only happens once in a while and I don't know what I've done to fix it or screw it up. What happens is that when I'm in photoshop and I do a "save for web" my document jumps to image ready and when viewing '2 up' for optimization purposes and comparison, I realize that the original view is actually duller in color and does not look like the original in photoshop. The blacks are definitely not as black.
when I got my first Macintosh IICX and all of my MacPaint clip art. I don't want to get rid of the clip art because since I'm still using a black ink printer and not upgrading to a color one, the clip art looks nice in newsletters and the like.
Up until this time I had been using SuperPaint which had the New Superbits editing plug-in to refine the pictures so they had the smoother and cleaner lines instead of looking jagged. With my new computer and printer, I'm also getting Photoshop CS packaged with Adobe Creative Suite Premium, which I have never used before. Since I have not received my order yet, I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether Photoshop has the capability of improving the older MacPaint clip art like SuperPaint did with the New SuperBits editing plug-in. Over the past two days, I have been trying like crazy to back-up my pictures with SuperPaint and then re-saving them with Graphic Converter. It's been so incredibly slow that I thought I would go ahead and ask you, the experts, if Photoshop can also improve the quality of my older MacPaint clip art or if I should continue to back-up my clip art like I have been doing.
I have just got back from the Elbow gig and pulled the images off the card. They load up in Bridge but don't have actual picture thumbnails. They are named correctly, ie: IMG_3483.CR2 but they won't open!? Error message says 'Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognise this type of file'
I could see them on the back of the camera.
mac users... i did a software update the other day and I noticed that there was an update for ACR. Could it have been something to do with that? And why can't I find ACR in my Applications?
I use Photoshop Elements 11. I am trying to upload photos to a website and the browse only goes to Windows/Pictures. How do I navigate to photoshop to upload pictures there?
