What are the rules for members or requirments?

No rules or requirements :)

Just dont talk about pirated software (if you pirated PS)
and its nice to see people post their photoshops every so often, so keep us up to date with your skills.

Thats all :D, no pressure. Have fun mate.

You just did ;p

[ex_reven]

Well im saying theres no particular rules, as im saying that the rules are the same rules as the user should follow as per typical TPU Posting Rules.

And I let him know that he should feel free to post any photoshops he has here.
Neither are rules set by the clubhouse, rather the forum itself :).

[bebobsa]

I want to join the club. I don't have any job to show right now. I will upload them later.

Nice job, but didn't Jimi play a flying V?

[ex_reven]

I have no concept of guitar design :roll:

[DaMulta]

I'm in 2ed place on the contest LOL

[ex_reven]

there are a few other possible winners, remember that the judges have alot of points to give.

[russianboy]

To Zek: Jimi did play the Flying V, but the strat was his guitar of choice, watch some concerts on Youtube...

HAHAH i really got to you when i showed you V ay :roll:

BX is correct, the judges have more points to allocate, and we operate by a strict criteria. Technically, pretty much anyone could win at this point, IF the judges decided to vote the same way. If we dont (which is probable) we could have some interesting contenders for pole position :D!

[BXtreme]

HAHAH i really got to you when i showed you V ay :roll:


nope :D I was looking for a change in my av/sig which I could keep for some long time, but I do get bored out of every one of them :laugh: And that's why we have photoshop :D

[bigboi86]

Off topic... but... I noticed your sig ex_reven. Opeth fucking rules.

Best death metal band ever... I love how they are progressive as well. Their entire damnation album was acoustic... that's awesome that a death metal band has such a big spectrum of sound.

Oh, and I love their vocals, and I used to hate death metal vocals before I heard Opeth.

They are truly an inspiration to me as a musician. So is a lot of early metallica.

I made my sig just for representing that I use Photoshop CS3 :) If I had to make a good sig I could've made one that can be better than you :rolleyes: :toast:
I just want to show off the artistic value of photoshop, not what kickass sig's it can make :)

[new_rez]

Did a quick PS lastnight to see what my car would look like once I buy new lower springs and wheels for it. The back wheel looks a bit dodgy...should have set a vanishing point. I've also done a couple of other mods. Thought I might aswell post it.

New -

Now I know what the mods will look like, I have to save up £780

[PVTCaboose1337]

Skew effects FTW!

[new_rez]

I think my vanishing point tool is broken, or im just retarded. Point me to a decent tutorial...please!!

[PVTCaboose1337]

http://img.techpowerup.org/070507/Capture002.jpg

[new_rez]

I know how to use the vanishing point tool...my grids are a bit iffy. The trouble im having with it is that I have no idea how to assign an image onto the grid :(

[ex_reven]

what does the vanishing tool achieve?
i tried it out and it didnt seem to do anything :confused:

[PVTCaboose1337]

K so basically, lets say you have a face, and you want to make it more 3d so you make it "vanish" as you move away from it. It makes 2d to 3d. (and cooler)

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgraphicssoft.about.com%2Fod%2Fpho toshop%2Fss%2Fcs2vanishing.htm&ei=i2pARrPJC6aQigHL3tiZAQ&usg=AFrqEzcEiwAhhg7ForMhySNmQXLoJ23Kaw&sig2=x4HiZ4gnCNGXgYyQQf7frg

google it and stuff. Pretty good tuts.

[new_rez]

I'm going to go and make something so cool in PS that it will make your eyes explode.

Tuhtar!

[ex_reven]

i have a calender of homer in his underwear on the wall...eyes are already explodey :p

[ex_reven]

Basically I needed to add a bit of length to a building.
So I did this...
It needs some basic colour reworking, and a little smudging in the windows so that it doesnt look cloned. But other than that I think its quite good.

Hey all. I've been taking a Photoshop class for school (elective) and we're getting ready to have the final. I've been messing around with a few ideas, one of which comes from the wikipedia pic of the eye iris used in the Photoshop contest. Anyway, I've been messing around trying to come up with what I want to do (I have to put it together during the class period), and I came up with this:

http://people.consolidated.net/kracinski//watching.jpg

What do you guys think? It doesn't have to be incredible or anything, but I do want it to look decent. If any of you have some suggestions LMK, with some advice on how to apply it.

Thanks :toast:

[PVTCaboose1337]

Cool idea, but too much blurring on the left side of the pupil. If you can take a look, you will se what I mean. But really cool.

[t_ski]

Are you talking about the eye lid and stuff to the left? That's original. I only blurred the very edge of the white of the eye to smooth it out.

[PVTCaboose1337]

This area:

OK, thanks. I'll be sure to watch that when I put it together. Anything (or anybody) else?

Well Photoshop can do many more things than just "adjust" photos or run filters for effect. You can render fine art without using a photo or a filter. Illustrator is a vector based program as were Photoshop uses rasterization. Illustrator is severely limited by many things. Photoshop isnt as limited. Its uses are far more than what Adobe lists.

I use Photoshop professionally everyday. I can honestly tell you that looking at the club house here you guys got your just scratching the surface of this program. Ill be more than happy to elaborate if youd like?

By the way I dont mean to sound conceded. I just wish someone with a little experience would have helped me when I started. I enjoy helping people learn Photoshop. Its fun!

:toast:

I totally agree with you.
Its hard to try new things I guess.
I personally dont use filters too often - more use of layer adjustments and stuff like that, but I know that there should be alot more things I could be using.

If you could:
i) Let us know some of your knowledge on more advanced work
ii) Show us some of your jpegs

Id be incredibly greatful and it would help me alot with my art for sure :)

PS - Vector graphics, granted, are alot more suitable for stuff that has to be blown up alot in size without degradation of quality, but to me its a totally different type of graphics. Done properly, Bitmapped graphics can be better! It just requires a bit of planning and the right hardware IMO. Im a student (17 years old), so I dont have high resolution scanners and such available to me, but I do have a rather good DSLR camera and a beefy system. I do what I can to keep them as high quality as I can :)

[TheMailMan78]

Man I am sorry it to so long to reply. Iv been pretty busy. Well let me answer some of your questions. I studied the fine arts, illustration and commercial arts. All of which pay my bills. Iv been using Photoshop for a little over ten years professionally. Iv worked with a lot of big license also. Disney, Warner Bros., NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, MLS, CLC, Nascar just to name a few. I create illustrations for garments. In basic terms "screen tees".

Iv been working as an Art Director now for about two years now so Iv slowed down creating. However I still get a chance once in a while. Ill be happy to post some illustrations if I could find a good place to post. Photobucket sells e-mails after all.:shadedshu

Any ideas? I could always send them via AIM or something.

[Paulieg]

they can be uploaded using TPU's image hosting service on the homepage www.techpowerup.com

If you save them under 197kb each they can also be uploaded directly into your post by going into the advanced mode by clicking "Go Advanced". Then you click "manage attachments."

Much appreciated :D

Hey, is there a plugin for CS3 that will automatically extract the object from the backround?

[Thermopylae_480]

You can use the magic wand tool. I've never looked for a plugin.

[d44ve]

You can use the magic wand tool. I've never looked for a plugin.

Which one is the magic wand tool....

The only ways I know how to do it is....

Use the extract filter and outline the whole thing or
Use the back round eraser tool.... of which, I am not to sure how to use it.

I really do not have much experience with PS

[t_ski]

On the Tools palatte it is the one on the right in the second row from the top. You may need to adjust the Tolerance settings to select the image as needed.

A couple other things to try is using the various Lasso tools (lasso, magnetic lasso or polygonal), or by using Select -> Color range...

I just recieved photoshop CS3 as a present. I've never used photoshop before, and as a first project, I wanted to make my own sig. Does anyone have a good tutorial on creating sigs? I'd really appreciate the help.

[btarunr]

Can someone please give the CT in my avatar a santa hat?

sincerely,
btarunr

[ex_reven]

Sorry guys ive been neglecting this club for too long.

Now that im free for the next 2 months perhaps I can do something constructive again. If I get enough interested people, I will update the club frontpage and maybe make some basic tutorials for using photoshop, and the basics of sigs/avatars (perhaps expanding a little on the basics that PVT laid out in his article).

I look forward to any comments or feedback.

[1nf1n1ty]

I gave your CT a santa hat...

How about some easy on ? -
1. How to add gloss to an object, or button.
2. How to work with vector art designs like these http://news.deviantart.com/article/28138/
3. Or creating custom brushes or somethin ? :)

Well ive never personally created any vector designs, so I dont think I could pull that off. I suppost I could do a write up on the other two tho!

I havnt touched photoshop in at least 4 months so Im defo gonna be a bit rusty on this. But hopefully Ill get a few articles up within the next week.

Ill tag them "PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL" and then " - *such and such a topic*"

hey guys, should i use photoshop cs3 extended in mac os x leopard or xp 64?

as far as my experience goes with cs3 on mac os x, it runs fine on it with the native hardware...but what can i say I'm an os x fanatic :p lol...still you're better off with it on os x..it doesn't hurt to try does it ? ;) just make sure you don't make the dumbest mistake to get a 'non-mac' version on the mac os x or vice versa :p :roll: j/k tho....

CS3 Extended actually... (shhhh) Although I have not played much with the 3D graphics part of it yet, I love Photoshop; been using it for 2 years (CS2 first) and I would gladly buy it if I could ever afford to drop $900 on a DVD in a box.

you can also get it somewhere else, just use google and your head ;) so says Jack.

well it's a photoshop club, where ppl with photoshop, use photoshop, to photo edit, or create their own creations and eventually post them here. It was started by 'some1' usernamed ex_reven, and hez prolly not alive at the moment (he shove some grenades into him). So, this place got deserted, the rest of the active members here also got pwnd (prolly by a h4x0r) and are temporarily dead. If any1 wanna show any interest in this club i.e to start this club once again...then just fire up photoshop again and start creating! ^ Well thats basically what the club was about :roll: lol...

[Kovoet]

Alot of it is self taught, as is typical with lots of photoshop users.
There are too many tutorial sites to mention, but they help develop your skills.

If your ever in need google does wonders for tutorials. But the best thing is not to look for them, its good just to look through a tutorial site and see whats available and check out whatever you fancy. As its alot easier to learn when your doing something you enjoy.

But play around a bit with the program first, the help file gives you the basics. Learn all the tools first, and id also advise you to fool around with "image" and "layer" adjustments, which are found on the toolbar with "File, edit" and all those sorts of buttons.

Another thing to know is that if your photoshopping from your own pictures, a good well planned photo is alot better than a tonne of random 'hopeful' snapshots. If you compose your image well its alot easier to edit later.

I agree with this. As I had CS2 loaded up twice and gave up, but had someone come on teamspeak just to start me off from the beginning. Photoshop is all about practice but if there is anyone here who would like help just to start of contact me on msn and maybe get you on my my game squads Teamspeak and I could start you off. Theres nothing better than having my favourite drink Cane and Coke listening to some old rock music in the back ground and using CS3.

I can be available most day's if you need any help

If I maybe so bold as to say if the origanal guy is no longer doing this I'm willing to stick my neck out to help start it off again.

Ok here are some VERY good brushes for download, free. These things are so usefull

er...it's more advanced ?!? i dunno, and don't care atleast it does the task ;) :cool:

[Kovoet]

Why is PS C3 so user unfriendly vs PS: Elements?

I would say it's friendlier for an experienced person on CS3, but not for someone new. Also there is a lot of plugins and resets for CS3 as well as CS2

[Firebeast]

I thinks its because PS CS3 has soo much more functions but could be wrong, never used Elements...

OK how long have you guys been working wiff PS?

lemme see, since the day photoshop was v6.0, then i quit for sometime...then regain my edge again when CS2 came...and now i got hold of CS3, making some avatars *cough* for personal use lol :p

[Kovoet]

I've been using it now for about two years but on a daily basis and when not using it I'm playing computer games on Joint Operations or COD4. Sometimes upgrading PC's or building them for friends

[EastCoasthandle]

gotcha. Maybe I am use to Elements

[Firebeast]

OK so between the 3 of us sofar we should be able to help the new guys to PS out here.

Been working on PS since 1994, on off but been using it alot last 7yrs or so

kwl, nice idead to help new PS users, but you don't need to much. Every1 just learns by own practice. So, the best way to cater users into here, is to post your own creations. Just create some stuff with the 'PS-Power' and show off! amazingly some should come by here then. When ya can't sell food, just keep cookin! :rolleyes:

[Kovoet]

I wish we could increase our sigs to 450x150

Keep the font as it is, man. I love the grill background and the shading you've added. Also you ended the image off nicely by adding the crome lines or bars in the front.

hey guys, should i use photoshop cs3 extended in mac os x leopard or xp 64?

Photoshop is made specifically for an OS.
Thus why there is a Mac version and a PC version. Im unaware if they are interchangeable but MEH!

helllloooooo??!?!??
lol. had to do that...
for people who have photoshop, please check ths out ;)
http://www.redfieldplugins.com


Ive never tried plugins before but I sure as hell will now :)
so what is the Photoshop club about?

Image manipulation, trickery, sexy graphics. Anything you can look at that doesnt look like its been doctored by an artist. If you do whatever it is you are doing properly, noone will ever give a second thought of your existance (your skills become 'taken for granted' in todays modern world...but if you stuff up everyone will hate you for it... LOL)

Yep I would like to join please.

Noone needs to ask. If you post something here, your in :toast:

well it's a photoshop club, where ppl with photoshop, use photoshop, to photo edit, or create their own creations and eventually post them here. It was started by 'some1' usernamed ex_reven, and hez prolly not alive at the moment (he shove some grenades into him).

It wasnt grenades. Zombie jesus stabbed me in the face with a stick.
I WISH there were 'nades involved...what a way to go :laugh:

Why is PS C3 so user unfriendly vs PS: Elements?

Pardon my frankness, but Elements is for noobs. Its a crippled version of photoshop. Its meant for everyday minor image retouching.


PS - To PVT, BXtreme etc, thanks for helping people out... Its great to see a community of people willing to help each other. You guys are probably way better than me now :toast: I need to relearn everything sigh...

You should send me the .psd when u get done with it :) Or azazel, if you can create something like that, that would be sweet also ;).

[ex_reven]

i can never use the freaking pen tool.. it hates me :(

hey guys, what photoshop plugins do you use?

I hated the pen tool too once. Now i use it for deep etching curves and such, but thats about it. Its easy to use. The best way to learn is to download an image of a letter off google.

Example:
http://www.lettersbyjanna.com/catalog/images/tlower-m.jpg

then practice using the pen tool to learn how to accurately outline the curves of the letter and its serifs.

[Azazel]

kk :) wooo....there are a couple tutorial on how to use pen tool, its actually really easy :) il look for it..hehe
