my newest tutorial available in my etsy shop.

 

Megatron has decided to show my contacts a quick and easy way to create beam effects with Photoshop. Please forgive his abrasiveness..

This reversible bag is a design I drew up after seeing similar bags in Japan a few years ago and Melbourne more recently. It is fully reversible and has a circular base. It is based on Japanese Knot bags. I made this one for my lovely MIL - modelling here.

Tutorial will be added here shortly:

I was offered the opportunity to write a tutorial for Advanced Photoshop magazine back in January... at last it's been published.

 

The tutorial uses my WLTB™ urban flat shot to educate and inspire fellow Photoshop users into generating their very own architectural abstract images.

 

It's quite complicated... so don't say I didn't warn you :-)

 

ON SALE NOW :-D

Pronto!

Depois de muito tentar, o encaixe perfeito!

 

Agora é só fechar e parafusar tudo de volta, colar o Scalp e a Peruca e sua Doll está pronta para posar com o novo corpo!

 

Atenção! Para colar o Scalp e a Peruca utilize cola branca! Ela é a base de água e não faz mal para o plástico de sua Doll.

Ela cola tão bem quanto a Super Bonder, é só esperar secar pelo menos 4 horas!

Portanto, cole o Scalp, espere secar e depois cole a Peruca.

Se você pretende mudar a Peruca um dia, passe pouca cola, somente nas laterais, para facilitar seu trabalho depois.

    

E é isso ai! Espero que tenham gostado da explicação e que o Tutorial seja útil!

Qualquer dúvida, comentário, sugestão, por favor comentem!

 

Obrigada ^^~

Adding frames to your photos. I've been asked how I add the frames onto my photos so I thought I might put up a quick tutorial here for anyone who is interested. You need photoshop or at least that is what I will use for this. Open your photo and do all the level adjustments, sharpening, resizing etc. untill you are satisfied that you have a finished product. I usually make my photos between 500 and 600 Pixels inheight, for posting to the internet or sending in email.

 

So to begin have your photo in this size range! You can use the following process for larger photos but you will have to increase the values accordingly.

 

Ok you have a finished photo open in PS (photoshop) approx 600 Pixels in height!

 

Go to Image/Canvas Size set the right hand format box to pixels if it already isn't.

Click on the little square box at the bottom and pick the colour that you wish to start with. Black say :)

Now ADD four pixels to the height and the width box and select OK.

You will notice a black edge 4 pixels wide has appeared around your image. If you go to image/Image Size you will notice it has increased accordingly. Altough the image isn't any larger, just the canvas size has increased which your image is sitting on,

 

Next I repeat the process: Image/Canvas Size but this time I will add say 40 pixels to both my width and height. Again go to the little box at the bottom. Click it and pick a different colour then your previous selection! Say White and hit Enter or OK

Now you will notice an even larger box, in your selected colour has appeared around your previous border! Yep it's 40 pixels wide.

In this manner you can select according to your preference how wide you want to make your border (matt) for your image!

 

OK now the FRAME!

Again go to Image/Canvas Size, this time add 20-30 pixels to your width and height boxes. Open your colour pallete (little Box) and pick any colour, IMPORTANT make sure it is not similar to your previous colour this time. We will discard this colour in a minute! Ok I picked Black again (my previous was white) Hit enter and you will see a black 20 pixel wide border surround your previous white border. At this point you must have a flattened image to proceed. Under Layers if flatten Image is selectable click on it, otherwise you are ok. Now take the Magic Wand tool. And click inside the 20 pixel wide Black border you just created. It will now be highlighted. Go to the layers menu and select, New fill Layer -Solid Colour. The colour fill box now appears, sellect OK and your colour pallete box will instantly appear! Now pick your frame colour. As you select a colour it will be shown on your (new fill layer) border so you can play with this until you are satisfied it compliments your image. When satisfied Click OK and your outside border will change to that colour

OK, If your layers pallete isn't open, go to the PS Window menu and click on Layers. In the Layer Pallete you will see you have created a Colour Fill Layer which should be highlited above your background layer. Good ok now in the highlited (Colour Fill) in the layers pallete you will see two larger Icons. Right Click! on the left larger icon and a menu appears. Select Blending Options and the Layer Styles box will appear :) Start at the top left of your Layers Styles box and check the drop shadow box, then Inner Shadow, outer Glow, Inner Glow, when you check Bevel and Emboss and contour you will see the 3d effect of a frame created. Pooof it's that easy lol...

You can play with the individual settings for all the different styles in the styles pallete and come up with whatever pleases you the most.

Gradient overlay is another one I sometimes use in framing. Goof around with them, thats what i do ;) But the above should give you a good starting point.

One last thing before saving your file. You might want to flatten the image again first. Go to Layers menu and near the bottom click flatten image. Now save it your done ~ Hope this helped~ Rgds Nova

I've been meaning to do this for a while, I just finally got around to it now. Here's my tutorial for the way I do digital mirroring. At the moment I have two main ways that I mirror Images. One is the "square or rectangle method" and the other is the triangle method. Pictured above is a pretty simple visual lesson but I will try to explain it in words.

 

The photo above the blue line is the original photo. I have drawn a red triangle to show the section I used for digital mirroring. Step one is as simple as that, well, almost. I am using photoshop to do all my mirroring. So first I make a square marquee selection of the part I want to mirror. (keeping in mind that I will only use half of the square selection.. a triangle) then I crop it (or rather delete everything outside the square selection so I have lots of working space) Then I make a new layer with a square at least twice the size of the one I just made. I turn it 90 degrees so it looks like a diamond and I use that to cut out the half of the original square that I don't want to use.

 

Ok now we are below the blue line, the bottom part of the above photo.

 

Once you have your triangle (which is half of a perfect square if you made it like I did) you then duplicate it on a new layer, rotate it so the diagonal edges line up. (it should be quite obvious if it is lined up right) Now you should have a square.

 

And that brings us to the "square mirroring method" Duplicate the square you just made on a new layer and flip it horizontally and join it with the first on the side that matches. Merge these two layers, duplicate on a new layer, flip vertically this time, line them up and BAM! There it is, a new spin on your original photo.

I made one more in different colors. I wanna make more!

In addition to my Mosiac Skull tutorial, I've just completed two new ones: Andamento & Keystoning e-Workshop and Mosaic Flower Tutorial. If you buy both, you get a discount and my Top 5 Tips. :-) All the details are on the Tutorials page of my web site: crystalthomasmosaics.com/section/194547_Tutorials.html

Open two pieces and press seam allowance toward short side. Repeat same process to other two pieces.

 

縫い代は短い辺のほうに倒してアイロンで押さえます。残りの2枚も同様に縫い合わせます。

2.Next, connect two pieces which you sewed in process 1.

In my 28-minute HD tutorial I take you from “field to final,” to illustrate how to shoot, then process nightscape images taken by the light of the Moon, images that put the stars into a blue sky above well-lit landscapes.

 

TO VIEW GO TO

vimeo.com/album/3567931

 

From a shoot in the field at Waterton Lakes National Park in June 2015 I explain:

• what equipment, exposures and camera settings to use when shooting moonlit nightscapes

• and provide tips on balancing the “Exposure Triangle"

• and on achieving good depth of field.

 

Back at the computer, using images I took that weekend at Waterton Lakes, I step you through processing an image from “raw to rave,” first demonstrating step-by-step how to develop raw files in Adobe Camera Raw (steps also applicable to Lightroom if you prefer).

 

I then demonstrate how to go beyond Lightroom or Camera Raw to use Adobe Photoshop to further enhance a still image. I illustrate non-destructive editing techniques, including:

• the use of smart filters,

• adjustments layers,

• and masks for the sky and ground.
