Photoshop Tutorial Ideas

Hey guys, I'm going to be creating a bunch of tutorials, and one of my sections is going to be Photoshop.

If you have any ideas for a tutorial, please post them here!

Also, if you've just got a question in general, no matter how basic/advanced, please post that question here. I've made many tutorials based on good questions I've found around this forum!

 

Hi Piggy, I would like to see a tutorial on making metallic text, I can kind od do something close, but to really getting it looking like silver or gold, seems to elusive, hope ou can help?

Ive seen tutorials using photoshop 7 about making glowing lines, but they arent detailed enough, make a good one of them ^^ I still cant get my head around the pen tool haha

 

Glowing lines, as in what? Can you provide an example of what you're trying to see? Also, the pen tool is the greatest pain in my ass. I've never been able to grasp it fully, but i'm extremly advanced with other aspects of photoshop. I can show you many work-arounds for designing glowing lines.

 

can you show me your work around designing glowing lines, also do you know how to make signatures like:


With the background like that.. in photoshop 7 maybe? that would be very helpful

 

I would love to see some with the pentool.
Only know, how to clip with pen toll, but the other stuff? I am blank

@xtrapsp:
I know how to make such signatures
Send me pm for more details

 

Xtrapsp, those backgrounds are mainly brushes and lighting effects.

Marc, the pentool is my pet peeve. I've never been able to master it... But i'll make a vid on what I know about it.

 

Piggy, I know about the brushes etc but i cant seem the grab the technique

 

Well thats how I feel with the pen tool to
I know how to clip out in pen tool, but how to make own stuf with it? Then I am lost like totaly.

 

How about texture like wood and grass. Its not that texture that appear like box, its like a continuous pattern that once you join the two pattern appears look like original one.

 

I'm doing some video tutorials as well. I'm really new to this site.
But, hey, Piggy, as cheesy as they may seem, photo retouching tuts really bring in views.

 

Well, I guess you have to think about what people mainly use photoshop for. One project could be photo retouching, changing the colour of eyes, using the liquify tool to adjust the shape of limbs etc. Another project could be creating 3 different lettering effects. Another could be a collage project, using a few different images to create the final picture, that way you learn how to cut and paste, use the pen tool, layers etc.

 

Hey Piggy, I would appreciate if you create a one-stop tutorial place for the beginners as well as the experts. Make the tutorial in such a way that even the newbies in photoshop designing could understand. Thanks
