Supernova

In this tutorial I'll try to show you how to make an interesting supernova. It's really simple step to work on. Perfect for desktop background or signatures. First of all, open new document (Control + N) and fill the layer with black. Make a new layer (Control + shift + N) name the layer 'supernova'. Take a brush around 75px or something around 70px-80px with color #FF0000. (I take a smooth around brush here). Brush a shape at the middle of your document.



Change the red color to #FFC00 (you still have 75px brush selected) and brush the layer on the inside of the red shape (still remain on the same layer)


Repeat same step but change color to #FFFFFF


Now go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and apply the radius to 45px


Create a new layer (Shift +Control + N) reset the color (press D) and go to filter > Render > Clouds. Next, press Control + F about 2 times to repeat the filter. Then, change the blending mode of the layer you just made to Color Dodge.



Go to Layer > New adjustment layer > Levels and press OK without changing the parameters.
Next were going to make a very easy start. Make a new layer (Control + Shift + N) and fill it with black. Go to Filter > Noise > add noise. Amount : 14, Distribution : Gaussian, Monochromatic : Turn ON. When you done doing this. Change the blending mode to screen


Lower the opacity of 'supernova' layer. then make a new layer, fill it with black. Go to Filter > Render > Lensflare. adjust the lens effect. after it done. change the blending mode to screen and you've done in making a supernova!

Colouring a brush

I found a very interesting technique to coloring a brush.. Open New Document (Control + N) and choose a black as a background. First of all.. u must have a brush.. Pick a brush and splash it to your canvas. (Before that, create a new layer and splash it at the new layer.) Here i choose a fractal brush to demonstrate.



Now. Copy brush layer(drag a layer onto a 'new layer' symbol) and apply the gaussian blur, Filter > blur > gaussian blur.. and then reduce opacity to 40.



Create one layer.. name the layer as "color". on layer color pick a brush (B) and paint the layer with any different colour. Here I use a basic brush with soft mechanical size 150px. And I choose blue & pink color. (2 different color, 1 layer!)



After that. Create a new layer. (And press D). Go to Filter > Render > Clouds. Then Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur (10px). Set the blending mode to 'vivid light' and reduce opacity to 50
Finally, on layer 'color', set the blending mode to 'overlay' and wallllap!! the result.

Creating a grass

Open new document (Control + N) Pick a Brush Tool (B)and draw an image like a grass. It's not exactly a like a grass. just.. Brush. Here i use a duller color so when you dodge it become more vibrant



Use Burn Tool (O) to make a shadow at there in the bottom



Now. Highlight the top it with Dodge Tool (O). Remember to set it to Midtones



Smudge the grass (R) with pressure within 70 - 80 depend on realism. smoothly drag you grass upper to make it more real. It will take a little bit time to done it.



Now Dodge it with Highlight setting. Dodge it at the middle area at the grass. Try to minimize the use of this tool. If you use too much it will become worst.



Again, use a Smudge Tool but with a tool size around 9 to make a grass more real and small. Yeah!!

Rich Color Tutorial


Sesetengah gambar akan kelihatan sedikit dull yang mengurangkan keceriaan. Terutamanya kalau pakai kamera yang murah. ya.. murah.. saya pun pakai kamera handset ja.. haha. TAPI kita boleh gunapakai photoshop untuk memeriahkan warna yang ada..


Kenapa? Sebab penggunaan warna dari photoshop adalah bagus. bukannya kita merosakkan warna asal. cuma kita meriahkan ckit warnanya


Let's start.



1) Okay, choose one of your favourite picture


2) First of all, create a new layer (Layer > New > Layer or Shift + Ctrl + N) and Apply Image (Image > Apply Image).



3) Use Hue and Saturation of the new layer (Image > Adjustment > Hue and Saturation) and set the value of saturation to 66%.



Set the Blending Mode to Soft Light.




4) Next, create another new layer and Apply Image.

This time Desaturate it and set the mode to Soft Light too but reduce the Opacity to 50%.

To finish up, create another new layer and Apply Image.




easy rite?

Colourfull of colors



1# Original image

2# Click Images>adjustment>Hue/Saturation ( saturation -70)

3#Add new layer>blend mode=soft light> using brush size 40px or above and colour within the line using a matching colour

4#On layer coloring> click filter>blur>gausion blur(radius=90px)

tadaaa.. Grin




good luck
