TUTORIAL 6

For this week tutorial show me about

• advance techniques of filters effects
• editer and enchance images using level
• curve and creating alpha channel
• texturing the background effects

The step..

Create new blank background and put the color. Then draw a horizontal rectangle using Marquee tool and duplicate the rectangle into 5 line

at the channel palletes, create new layer call Alpha 2. Then, go to Filter -> Render -> Lighting Effects and change Texture Channel into Alpha 2 and adjust the Height

Go to Path palletes and select it. Go to Layers pallete and create new layer and rename it as Basic Chrome Shape. Press Alt+Backspace to change the background color into white. Go to Channels pallete create new Alpha which is Alpha 3.

Open the file Twenty.psd and put it infront of 70's and blur it using Gaussian Blur. Load the file that had saved at the desktop. Add layer mask into the Layer 1. Change the effect into Difference.

Open Hue/Saturation and play around with the color.

Create new layer called Shadow at the Layer pallete. Back to Path pallete, duplicate the Seventies layer and it will become Seventies Copy. Ctrl+T to make it as free transform. Adjust the size and Ctrl+Backspace so the foreground color will turn into Black. Turn off the visibility of Hue/Saturation layer and Alt+Backspace. Blur it using Gaussian Blur.

To make the shadow of the 70's word, go to Magnetic lasso tool and draw a line on the 70's word . Change the Feather radius into 30 pixels and blur it using Motion blur.

Turn on the visibility of Hue/Saturation 2, Layer 1, Basic Chrome Shape and Wallpaper. Thus, this is an output for this tutorial.
