I'm creating a menu for my webpage but there's something wrong. I get the feeling of "rock" on this piece, not rusted, old metal which is the feeling I should be getting. It would be great if anyone could provide me with tips on how to make it more "metally" and less rocky. And yes, I tried lowering the saturation on the bottom layer, but it didn't cut it. I own a copy of, and create my images in, Photoshop 5.
i'm creating a "rusty-metal thingy" design for my new website. it's almost finished, now i only need to know how i can draw them big rusty metal chains to keep my header, mid-section and my bottom-section from falling apart.
there are a lot of plug-ins available to "clean-up" and perfect images...does anyone know if there are any real good filters for making a photo "dirty" ie dust, scrathes, light leaks, grain, distortion,blurring, vignetting, anything like that?
what I am trying to learn/figure out is how to make a huge rusty looking iron-quality letters. I've downloaded some plug ins off and on so not sure what I have but it is not too far off.
What are some must have plug ins to make lettering into metals? I keep trying the tutorials but I think I need to start all over (how humbling). Some instructions come with an assumption that I thought.. err... assumed.. I had retained.
I am trying to get this to really look like gold. I've played around with the curves and when I get the majority of it looking like the right color, the lighter spots where light reflected off of the piece get far to white. I run into the same problem with duplicating the backround layer and changing the blend mode to screen. Any thoughts?
I'm trying to make it for around 800x wide by say 500 high.. with a bigger hole. Its going to be an interface for a website but I cant seem to make it look right when its that big. The gradients look unrealistic for me when its that big.
Mine is a little more crisp than this picture on this website, because I don't know really what I'm doing. Of course that could be my problem with this knob. However, I followed the directions exactly, but I didn't get too close to how The Keeper did it. I'm using Photoshop 7. 0.
1. I try to engrave text in metal but that Emboss only brings text up (out) of background. Didn't find normal tutorial which would look like i want. Mostly they don't look engrave.
2. Got a "missunderstanding" with text on path. Coundn't get in right direction. I got circle around which i want text. But by default it goes outside circle. If make full round around circle text at bottom is upside-down. I need something like that but without transformation:
I have KPT 5, and I see that it says that KPT needs to be updated to 5.01...and I looked everywhere to find the update...can anyone show me a link, or send me the file or something? I really want to use that Pank Metal, but I cant with KPT 5.
I've been trying to get this effect of metal pipes for a website interface but i'm stuck ! i've searched for some tutorials but all i found were normal metallic pipes (straight) and/or none-metallic pipes...so i'm posting here hoping maybe someone can help me out... Code:
I came across this very nice graphic a while back, and was wondering how they got the soft flat metal look. I'm told it's gradients and highlights, but I'm not sure exactly how they're done (my efforts didn't pan out).
How do you create an effect like in the top left hand corner of this web page its a kind of cartoon metal texture, i want to use in on the design for my site.
I have KPT 5 installed and the 2 required files. I'm also following the steps word for word in Photoshop 7.0 but my "pank metal" always turns out a dark blue and not a shiny blue like panks. Can I get some help on what might be wrong?
I am trying to make my clans forum signatures and am trying to make a light and shiny metalframe around it.
All I can manage is to make a small one. Off course I can make it larger, but I don't like the way it look. I want one with more shine and bright (real) look.
I'm looking to make some diamond plate metal. I've tried on my own with brushed metal as a base, but it just looks rediculas...If you dont know what diamond plate looks like,
It doesn't have to look exactly like that...I'm going to make it look worn with scratches etc...but to make those diamonds look like they actually belong with the metal in the background...
I have a picture of a shiny metal piece of jewelry. In my photo the metallic parts appear very matte and dead. How do I make the suface look like the high gloss that is really is?
One of the many activities that requires me to use Photoshop is to 'paint' race cars for an online simulation game (iRacing). How to produce a re-creation of an existing car and it just so happens to include a 'ripped metal' type effect.
I've avoided this kind of graphic for a long time now. Here is the care which I'm trying to replicate (note the 'ripped metal' effects).
