Turn Any Photo Into A Sketch
This is a really cool effect that I learned just the other day on the NAPP forums (first demonstrated by Justin Seeley at Photoshop World). It is a quick and easy trick to turning any photo into a sketch in photoshop. This effect can literally be done in a matter of minutes. I hope you enjoy it.
Design With Type
Okay. So this is a pretty cool effect that I have started to see pop up in design work and I’ve even come accross a few tutorials on how to achieve this effect (see: Bernskiold Media and National Association of Photoshop Professionals). The cool part about seeing more than one tutorial on this, is that they were both done with different methods. Well, I had so much fun playing with this and it is such an easy effect, I thought I would share it here and show everyone both methods to getting this effect.
Update… 5D post workflow
I recently posted a review of the 5D. I thought that as a follow-up I would post some quick instructions to help you avoid some issues with the 5D footage.
Creating Sunburst Graphics in Photoshop
We have all seen it somewhere. That graphic favorite of many designers out there, the sunburst. I’ve seen it on everything from magazine covers to energy drinks. So, how do they create this look?
A good video camera… the 5D?
O.k. so like many in the video production world I scoffed a little when Canon announced their new 5D with 1080p video. I thought to myself, “What photographer or serious videographer would be able to use that functionality?” Well I am admitting as I often do that my assumption was wrong. Although it isn’t the answer for full-scale productions it has some distinct characteristics that make it a good buy for multi-media and production houses alike. I got my hands on one recently and here’s why…
Creating A Custom Photo Layout
I was recently approached by my sister in-law, a photographer (Pianki Photography), with an image that had some effects that she wanted to know how to do and was wondering if I would do a tutorial for it. I said I would take a look at it and see what I could do. I was able to duplicate the effect and showed it to her. She said it was the look she was going for, so I agreed to do a tutorial on it. In this tutorial, I will be using paths, brushes, layer styles, layer masks and blend modes.
