This club is for ANYONE who uses, is interested in using or is curious about Adobe Photoshop.
Obviously There are a large number of versions of Photoshop out there, but all of them retain similarities, particularly Photoshop editions 6-10.

If you have any questions, would like to join, or would like to learn more about Photoshop:
ASK HERE :)

But first, what is Photoshop???


Adobe Photoshop, or simply Photoshop, is a graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Systems. It is the current market leader for commercial bitmap and image manipulation, and, aside from Adobe Acrobat, is the best-known piece of software produced by Adobe Systems. It is considered the industry standard in most jobs related to the use of visual elements.

Photoshop is available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Mac OS; versions up to Photoshop 9.0 can also be used with other operating systems such as Linux using software such as CrossOver.

Hmm, you do change a 'lot' :D, downloading CS2 again :ohwell:.
It happened to my whole week, when I install Vista I get perf. degrades, then go back to 2k3 or XP x64. Then again when I need to do something in Vista, have to install it :sigh:.
Btw, is CS3 STILL in beta ?

ex_reven
03-25-2007, 10:45 AM
Hmm ive heard that it was coming out soon. So I dont think its in beta any longer.
I dont know if its going to be much of a change over CS2...not for the stuff we do anyway.


BetaNews reports on an analyst with Merrill Lynch who says that Adobe will likely introduce Creative Suite 3 around March 27, with a ship date that would follow shortly afterwards. If true, a release may coincide with a Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard release on March 24.

The release of CS3 has been long awaited as the last major software suite for designers to support the native Intel Macintosh computers. Piper Jaffray senior analyst Gene Munster, feels that Adobe's Photoshop CS3 release will have a 'sizable' impact on Mac Pro sales.

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.

The imperial and ATI logo's look quite flashy
Nice work. Ive always wondered how they got that mirror finish effect.
Is that just a layer copy flipped as a "screen" with lowered opacity or something?

if i may make a suggestion:

I recon the firefox logo would look awesome like that, with a sort of halo around it.
Kinda like an eclipse - Just my 5 cents :)

Magnetic Lasso is good sometimes but not all.
I usually use polygonal lasso 24/7. Like even for round obects I use it.
It takes time, but it comes out perfect with a little concentration :cool:

dunno, just picked it up from here http://www.newsmakers.co.uk/images/ati/Ati---logo.gif

ex_reven
03-28-2007, 07:19 AM
hmm its probably either a reflection of someone taking a photo of a ATI badge/logo, notice the distortion of what looks like a room lol. It must have been a reflective badge.

Or it might have just been the result of alot of saving between its origin and the newsmakers website. Everytime you save a jpeg it loses a certain amount of quality.

Which is why we work in PSD/RAW and save in PSD & JPEG at the end :)

In regards to the stagnancy/lack of club members you could put a link to here in your sig. It doesnt need to be an image, just a line of text like you can see below my sig image.

eg - "Join The Club!" :)

More people might see it, as im not on all the time. Also, it could be due to the low amount of photoshoppers that exist. Not many people use photoshop regularly enough.

and I made the sig too :D, how about name of member below the photoshop logo ? That could be an official siggy for the club :D

Do you mean doing a photoshop of our members names for the 1st post of the thread?
Or a photoshop for Photoshop Clubhouse users to use as a sig, with all the clubhouse users nicknames in it? (I dont think It'd fit :ohwell: )

Photobucket seems to be good for hosting. I've had a few of my images on there for around a year now and they've not been deleted :)

You dont need to ask my permission for anything :roll:

Do you want all the names under your sig or just your own?
I recon all the names would be a pretty cool idea. :toast:

Or, new design???

Ideas? I like things that are plain and blend in with the page :D
Alot of my sigs use a background colour the same colour as the page for that reason. (eg my avatar)
But yeah im thinking the photoshop logo and maybe something unique to one side and the persons name in sleek, long writing.

technique is everything.
karate is cool because you can use it in life, not just for fighting. It teachs you how to lift, how to fall, how to use your whole body strength instead of just your arms etc.

Also gives you good reflexes :D
Its funny when people on the bus (stupid school kids) flick my ears and stuff...pussies. Because I let them do it a few times, and then as soon as they go for a third or fourth flick i just reach behind my head and twist their fingers without even looking. Its great for impressing chicks too :laugh:

The Norton logo needs to be more crisp. See if you can find a higher resolution version. I would use a font more similar to that of Symantec's for the rest of the wording too. It would look much cleaner and professional in my opinion.

yeah i did it a while back with pvtcaboose and zekrahimator when i was part of the Power User Clubhouse as a Photoshopper. There were about 13-15 requests for avatars for christmas. But as a team we got them done ok :). Obviously this may involve a heap more requests than that, as it isnt just avatars we'd be doing, but still it would be spread over enough time for us to get them done. If not, they'll just have to wait :roll:

We wont advertise just yet though, maybe in a couple of days when I finish my exam block and im on holidays ;).

Your correct in saying its not.

Pop art is a celebration of popular culture and mass production.
Eg - Andy Warhol's depiction of the Heinz tins, coke bottles etc

He presented them in single colour with a large number of the same thing side by side. It represents not only the cultural entity of coke/heinz as a major part of US Culture and capitalistic business, but also the era of mass production in which he lived in the post war economic boom.

1. Find the Pattern you want and cut it out; e.g. GDI symbol.
2. Find a texture you want to use.
3. Create a new .psd using the texture of your choice.
4. Place the pattern you want to use in a layer behind your chosen texture.
5. Press Ctrl+D and click on the little picture of your pattern layer to select the pattern in that layer.
6. Switch to your texture layer and, with your pattern still selected, press copy. This will get you a pattern with the exact same texture as the background texture you have chosen.
7. Paste in the exact same spot you copied the texture from.
8. Bevel and Emboss/drop shadow, until you get it looking the way you want.

Hope that helps. Let me see if I can get my .psd small enough to upload. Then you could analyze it.

therm that was quite awesome man, it has a great effect for its simple design, and i loooove simple :D

If you wanna show russianboy that PSD, its probably easiest if you crop the image to get rid of the background and just show the logo. Then reduce the resolution from 300ppi to 72 :)

Russianboy - Not bad at all man. Just IMO, I think the lighting looks a bit out of place. A hint on that would be to (when your creating the lighting) pull the lighting off the canvas and stretch it, so that the light goes further, but you dont have that really intense white blotch of light at the bottom of your image. Other than that, quite nice again :)

I just found out Friday that Kurt Vonnegut died Wednesday. This is my tribute to a great author. He wrote some Sci-Fi so that's where the theme comes in. I know planets and stars are small time easy to do stuff, but I still had fun doing it. If anyone actually likes it the original size was 1600x1200 but I couldn't fit it on TPU because it's 1.5MB

Polaris573

The one most people are familiar with is Slaughterhouse Five. Vonnegut grades his own works. He states that the grades "do not place me in literary history" and that he is comparing "myself with myself." The grades and books are as follows:

* Player Piano: B
* The Sirens of Titan: A
* Mother Night: A
* Cat's Cradle: A-plus
* God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater: A
* Slaughterhouse-Five: A-plus
* Welcome to the Monkey House: B-minus
* Happy Birthday, Wanda June: D
* Breakfast of Champions: C
* Slapstick: D
* Jailbird: A
* Palm Sunday: C
