Requests!!

Shadowness · July 7th, 2008, 1:32 PM

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! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

So request away......

I may do a vid tut at some point on how i get my photos from stock to what they are on DA.

jayhawk · July 10th, 2008, 10:44 PM

Dan, I have a request. I would like to watermark my photos, with my name repeating across the photo.

IceBone · July 10th, 2008, 10:53 PM

Something like this?

jayhawk · July 10th, 2008, 11:02 PM

Yes, exactly. Something where I can create an action in CS3.

IceBone · July 10th, 2008, 11:08 PM

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?

Shadowness · July 11th, 2008, 8:21 PM

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?

jayhawk · July 11th, 2008, 10:22 PM

Yes.

Adunaphel · July 11th, 2008, 10:48 PM

Very much so, yes

Shadowness · July 12th, 2008, 11:16 AM

Ok, I'll get on it this weekend.

Ooh! I got one: how to properly clean your digital SLR.

Speedtouch · July 12th, 2008, 4:40 PM

^ That would be helpful to me!

Solberg · July 12th, 2008, 5:05 PM

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.

Shadowness · July 12th, 2008, 5:22 PM

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.

epp_b · July 12th, 2008, 6:16 PM

I don't even know what he means by "remove a rig"

IceBone · July 12th, 2008, 6:24 PM

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

Alok · July 12th, 2008, 6:35 PM

Dan, I would love a Drift Panning PP 101 images/smilies/smile.gif

Shadowness · July 12th, 2008, 7:32 PM

So by that do you mean everything from setting up the camera, to tips on panning itself?

That would be quite a hard on to do I think, as im afraid to say, it mainly comes down to practice images/smilies/sad.gif

But I could give it ago I suppose images/smilies/biggrin.gif

(or maybe Paddy can! images/smilies/wink.gif

)

Speedtouch · July 12th, 2008, 7:36 PM

^ You can give someone training, but not tell them how to use it, as I rarely say. Experience is the key to life, but if you have no clue where to start, then you are done for.
