How To Create a Realistic Money Effect in Photoshop The classic illustration style used on money is something I’ve always wanted to figure out how to replicate in Photoshop. There’s plenty of Photoshop tutorials that show how to create a basic halftone line effect, but they never quite capture that authentic engraved look with plenty of shading and tone. After lots of trial and error I finally managed to figure it out, so here’s an in depth tutorial on how to create a realistic money illustration effect in Photoshop (with some help from Illustrator!). The effect we’ll be creating in today’s tutorial is this vintage engraved or etched illustration style that builds up the tonal areas of an image with lots of tiny lines. Before we can add the effect to a photograph we first need to build a range of ‘screens’ which will then be layered up over our chosen image to produce the carved illustration effect. Enter 4mm in the Size option and apply 11 ridges in the settings. Head back to Object > Blend > Blend Options to configure the settings.

First the splash image. The layer name will be renamed from “Background” to “Layer 0″. Use the Magic Wand Tool (W) select the background of the splash, then hit delete. Try to look for sections of the clothing that will go well with the “flow” of the splash. Lower the opacity for the splash so it’s a lot easier to see where you’re placing it. I used mainly around 30%-10%. Applying the splashes Brushes
How to Create an Ice-cold Poster with 3D Text In this tutorial, you'll learn how to combine stock images and 3D text into a cool poster. We'll use an icy theme for it and color it the way we want. You'll see it's not that hard to create a simple appealing poster with effective use of text and imagery. Final Image Preview Before we get started, let's take a look at the image we'll be creating. Video Tutorial Our video editor Gavin Steele has created this video tutorial to compliment this text + image tutorial. Step 1 For this tutorial I'll recreate the poster on a smaller canvas.
