Photoshop Tutorials
I am a 'self taught' Photoshop-per, by which I mean, I watch YouTube tutorials or follow written tutorials to learn how to use Photoshop. My journey so far is a lot of trial and error and I still have a long way to go. I like to share what tutorials I do and give people an idea of what it should be like and what it actually turns into. I give them a rating so that if you too like to do Photoshop tutorials you know whether it was easy or not! You can click here to see older Photoshop tutorials I have completed.
3) Photo Backgrounds
This year I want to get back into photography. I have had this photo of my daughter from Chinese New Year last year, just waiting for me to figure out how to alter the background. This tutorial I found was very easy to follow. However it only really guides you through making the background which is something I think I could have just done myself. It doesn't explain to you how to cut the person out of the original photo. i just used the pen tool to make a selection around her. If you don't know how to do that or other ways of selecting just the person in the photo this tutorial would be useless You can find this Photoshop tutorial here. Rating: |
2) Banners
Looking into drawing banners so when I found this tutorial thought I'd give it a try. It was very simple and quick to complete. In saying that I haven't really worked with warping and found that the curved banner was a bit tricky to get right, as you can see if you look closely to the pictures. If you want to alter the colour you need to do it while the banner is still in 3 pieces otherwise you lose the stroke which flattens your image. Also he mentions right at the end you can add drop shadows, you need to do this to the 'main' part if you want it to show up on the other parts. You can find this Photoshop tutorial here. Rating: |
1) Shield
Completed my first Photoshop tutorial. While making my 'Coat of Arms' I found a Photoshop tutorial for making shields. I thought it would be a good use for my Coat of Arms and what fantasy lover doesn't want their own shield? You can find the Photoshop tutorial here. I learned something new in this tutorial so I'm pretty happy with it. It was easy to follow and I believe I can use this concept in other contexts.
