Useful Photoshop Tools and Techniques For Your Workflow - Smashing Magazine untitled Design Maze - 2008 February Entries The soar of digital technology has revolutionised art by increasing the possibilities an artist may have for expressing and communicating messages that cannot be otherwise articulated with words. Adobe Photoshop is a unique fantastic tool that comes with a set of filters that assist in creating art by using photographs. These filters bundled with layers and masks and an infinite possibility to use existing brushes and patterns as well as creating new ones opens a world of magic to any graphic artist. I have created the art work here by using an original picture of a red rose and a combination of filters and adjustment layers. My plan is to update this site with some of my Photoshop work as well as creating simple entries that can be followed for fun as well as learning that extra Photoshop trick. Feel free to download my "Dark Rose" and send it to your Valentine.

photoshop sand writing Nov 20 Posted by on Under Photoshop A colleague from the office asked me some time ago about writing on sand in photoshop. I came up with a quick solution at that time which wasn’t very realistic but did the job. This morning I was fooling around with my tablet when I remembered about this and decided to check how far you can go in Photoshop to achieve photo-realistic sand drawing effect. For this tutorial you will need a beach or desert sand photo in a perpendicular view angle similar to the below. Once you have the photo ready you can begin drawing the shape or just import it in Photoshop. After you draw the shape double-click the layer or right-click on layer and choose Blending Options. To make this more realistic we need to use a texture for the Bevel effect. Now activate Inner Shadow option and add the values as in the image. To make the drawing background transparent and in our case make it look like actual sand and not a plain color we need to make the following setting.

Please, sweat the small stuff This is one of those “allow me to vent” write-ups that I hope isn’t too harsh but ultimately does the greater design community a favor. Some of you are likely already practicing what I’ll preach, but I see it missed frequently enough that it’s in need of a gentle reprimand. It involves two things: 1) images that are transformed to a size, say, 75% or smaller from the original size, and 2) the Unsharp Mask filter. Here’s the setting: You receive a large image from a client, probably a 300 dpi shot of their building. Some of us stop there and post to the site. Here’s a sample shot, with the original resized photo at left, and the same resized photo with Unsharp Mask at right: Notice the difference? You lose some clarity in the original image when you resize to a smaller state, and the Unsharp Mask helps restore some of that clarity. And it’s a snap to use. I generally choose a range between 35% and 50%, and I rarely choose a value over 75%. Here’s another example: End of class.
