Sometimes Photshop is taking an image and say…”Now where do I want to go with this?
Other times it is…”How do i get there?
Well here is one that says…”how in the world did he get there?”
Seem simple? “No problem..” you say? Well…..
Step one…down load this file: texture
Step two…create the above image in photoshop. (full size image)
Step three…either pat yourself on the back because you do know photoshop….or…ask for help! We would love to show you how we did it! (and yes…there is more than one way to get there…there alwasy is!)
Here are two tutorials that will help you create some text with some snap crackle and pop!
And here is some fun with grass!
Have fun!
Here are two tutorials that give a slightly different treatment to the same image. Both are using variations of similar PS techniques but the end results comes out quite different! Some easy ways to add sizzle to your images!
I saw these two tutorials and was “Star Struck!” the planet tutorial is somewhat the same but using a few different techniques. The star field is really cool and can be used with your planets! And then there is a HDR file tutorial helping you create that HDR look when you only have one image to start with. Raw files are really the best but here’s a way to create images that have that same type of look. And then there are the translucent tutorials. Glass balls and Water drops. Fun, fun fun!

Brushes are a fun way to add some spice to your Photoshop tool box. And almost any image can be turned into a brush! Here are a couple of tutorials I found that will help you understand the many uses of brushes in Photoshop.

Have fun with those brushes! (Here is a link to some more fun brushes to down load!)
