Default Requests!!

Thought it might be a good idea to have this thread where peeps can request tutorials. Obviously, if there is a lot if interest in a certain area, then 'somebody' can have a go at writing one up.

I certainly dont mind writing some more up, I just don't know what to do it on!

So request away......

Well, what i did for that was to create a 500x500 image, write Jayhawk in white text in the upper left corner and lower right, then i merged the layers, which rasterised the image and went image --> set pattern. This saved it so i can use it in all future images. Then i opened your image, went into blending options, applied a pattern, chose the one i just created and set the scale, opacity and blend mode. you'll probably have to play around with the positioning of the texts to get the pattern right. I positioned them at 25%/25% and 75%/75% on the canvas to get that diagonal effect, but you can play around to get your desired effect.

I hope that was easy enough to follow.

you could always slice up the photo in photoshop and make it a html image. Do these forums support html messages?

I can still do a tutorial showing how to add pre-made watermarks onto photos. So it should only be one button. Would that be useful to many of you?

I would like a few:

1. How to remove a rig in photoshop.

2. How to create a nice watermark from scratch + a interesting yet simple frame.

To No.1: That is something you have to learn yourself. Plus, there is no definitive answer. Each time may be very different, and require different tools.

"When you shoot with a rig, how do you remove it from the frame digitally in PS" is what i think he means.
