Hi...
donīt know if this is for any good. But maybe some beginners will find some useful information of how to use photoshop in this 18-minute record. It shows ALL the steps on the way to the image shown below. The graphical quality of the logo is not very impressive, but since I wanted to keep the size of the capture as low as possible while showing quite a lot ps-features, I had to make some compromises.
The capture is about 18 minutes long and consists of three parts, about 10 megabyte at all. All steps, mouse-movements and ps-palettes were captures at 640x480 screen-size. I used www.camtasia.com (http://www.camtasia.com) for recording, so you need to install the tscc-codec to view the avis with windows media-player. The codec as well as the avis can be downloaded here:
http://www.pixtur.de/Tutorial05/capture.html
I donīt know, if tscc-avis can be viewed on mac.
I commented most of the used technics, but since my english is far too bad, itīs all still in german. Maybe if the record (itīs done with the english version of photoshop) turns out to be useful for some people, I will consider an english translation.
some of the technics shown and explained:
- using paths to create typography and outlines
- using layers (grouped-, adjustment-, layersettings, linked layers)
- creating and using selections to draw details like bevels, shadows, etc.
- using overlay-layers to add some texture
- using screen-layer-mode to add some lenseflare (ughh...)
- using the blur-filter
- using the smudge-tool
