How do I create a carving onto a tree with photoshop?

I am looking for a way to make a realistic looking heart on a old oak tree using photoshop, any ideas?  Any help will be appreciated.

Hello there!
Here is a quick rough tutorial as well:
1. I opened two photos in a Photoshop document. One photo of a tree trunk, and one of the inner wood.
2. Make sure that the wood photo is below the tree trunk photo as shown below.
3. With the type tool, Type your text. I chose to make it black, so its easily selectable later on in the tutorial.
4. In the layers panel, merge the type layer with the trunk photo beneath it.
5. Below the layer is merged.
6. I am now going to select the black type with the wand tool.
7.  With the type selected, you take the eraser and can erase within the selection.
8. After you erase within the entire selection, go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast
9. With a Brightness/ Contrast mask on the selection, Adjust as needed.
10. I also changed the layer Mode to Darken.
11. Below is my final (rough) product.
After this, I would most likely darken the edges of the type, and possibly bevel the edges. The rest is all up to you past this point in how realistic/ you need. With a simple heart, I can image that just a mask with some darkening on the edges would suffice.
Please let us know if you have any more questions,
janelle

  • How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some

    Hi
    As my topic says
    How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some custom presets?
    Assume you have Flash Builder 4.5, CS Extension builder 2.0, Xcode 4.5.1 running under MacOS 10.8.

    I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly.  In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location. 
    But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line.  No one is looking at the page.  A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice.  It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
    So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word. 
    I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want.  I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have. 
    I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
    You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way. 
    Give it a try and best of luck.

    This means it is not possible to create a pure unicode file without the byte order mark?
    You wouldn't happen to know how a file with byte order mark should read on a Linux system?
    Or if this possible or not?

  • I NEED HELP! How do you Create a Drop Down Accordion Navi with the child pages remaining expanded

    I would like to know how I can create a vertical accordion navigation with some custom modifications.
    I need it to function like this sites vertical navigation. (link is below)  Click on the parent page "bedrooms" and it expands revealing all of the "child pages" then click on one of the child pages, it turns the font to Underlined and all the child pages remain exposed!  (it does not collapse after you click on a child page!!!!!!!) I need my site to do this as it tells the visiter where they are exactly on the site!     Please HELP ME!  Thank You! 
    I would actually like mine to be a little more pronounced.  Perhaps having the link turn to BOLD Font indicating you are on that page.  And the main Parent page would have a diffrent background color. 
    Site that has the Navi that I want to Mimic:
    http://www.fowfurniture.com/
    EXAMPLE: Adhesives IS IN BOLD indicating you are on that page. and it remains open it should remain open until you click on another parent page like Hardwood. (Then the Hardwood child pages (Sub Menu) would expand looking like the carpet sub menus/child pages.  All of the accordians i have found seam to collapse after you select a child page (sub menu) and the visitor wouldn't know where he is on the site...  Please Help Me accomplish this!
    Carpet
                          Repairs
                          Fibers
                          Adhesives    
                          Tools
                          Pad
    Hardwood
    When nothing is selected it should look like this: The cell of "Carpet" is a slightly a diffrent color because it is in the "Hover"  state. 
    Carpet
    Hardwood
    Tile
    Vinyl
    Linoleum

  • How can I create a portal server authentication user with a batch

    hi,
    I am trying to import users into the portal server emulating the create user procedure as plumtree. What I cannot understand at the moment is which classes are involved in the sequence of creating a user.
    the problem starts from the fact that I have used a synch WS and it works but, being the table a dummy one and the users to be authenticated by the portal server, I couldn't use that synch as a definitive.
    I tryed using plumtree.server.CIPTUser class with no success. could not understand how to actually create the user after setting the parameters to the object.
    Is there any documentation explaining how to create the portal server emulation of create user. this could be usefull for all those cases when there is no central repository of user and passwords.
    thanks
    Mario

    This should get you started.
    IPTUser=IPTSession.GetUsers.Create(iAdminFolderID)
    IPTServerContext=IPTUser.GetInterFaces("IPTServerContext")
    IPTServercontext.Store
    This is a high level implementation. It should get you very close.
    thanks,

  • How can I create a mobile application to connect with my php system

    II have few question to ask all expert here :
    1. Im using Netbeans IDE, how can I compile the .java file to .jar ?
    2. Currently, I have created a point of sales application using php and I hope to create a Mobile application to connect with tis system. So, anyone can let me know what I need to start ?
    3. Im using postgresql database, anyone here know how to connect with mobile application?

    !. When you build java application in NetBeans (standard one) you just click 'Build' or 'Clean and Build' and your jar file is waiting for you inside 'dist' directory of your project
    2. Connecting MIDP application to the server running PHP scripts is not a problem, just connect using simple HTTP with GET or POST and you are done, google on it!
    3. You can connect to the database using some kind of PHP/JSP/ASP or whatever application you want and then using method from point 2 to send and retrive values, you can do it with web services as well, possibilities are endless
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I create a new excel workbook only with labview

    Hi everyone...
    I'm trying to create a new excel workbook only with labview but I can't find the file in the hard disk.
    Someone knows?
    Labview 8,0
    Attachments:
    Create new WB with LV.vi ‏18 KB

    You are not using the correct mechanism. Pull up the Example Finder in LabVIEW, click on the "Search" tab, and enter "Excel". Look for an example called "Write Table to XL". Use this as a starting point for creating new workbooks and adding data to it.
    Note: on disk the example is at <LabVIEW install directory>\examples\comm\ExcelExamples.llb.

    For example I nedd a site like "collecdiv.com" that works with the same effects and with an adaptable full-widht size page.

    The 4 tab I want to see in full width and in scroll motion parallax: four with a resolution of 22" and the other four with a resolution of 15" (the screen are made with paint to let you see what is the problem)
    In the first tab there's a slideshow widget with some photo, in the other tabs there's a rectangular form with an image fill... I have to see the same layout that I see in my 22" monitor, in other smaller or bigger monitor (like 15") just like in the "collecdiv.com" website... The Dimension of my muse file is 960px width
