Requests!!

[Shadowness]

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......

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

 

[Jay]

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

 

[IceBone]

Something like this?

 

[Jay]

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

 

[IceBone]

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]

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?

 

[Jay]

Yes.

 

[Adunaphel]

Very much so, yes

 

[Shadowness]

Ok, I'll get on it this weekend.
Bear with me

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

 

[Davetouch]

^ That would be helpful to me!

 

[Solberg]

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]

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.

 

[Top Geek]

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

 

[IceBone]

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

 

[Alok]

Dan, I would love a Drift Panning PP 101

 

[Shadowness]

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

But I could give it ago I suppose (or maybe Paddy can! )

^ 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.
