How Was This Icon Created?

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Photoshop and would like to find out how an icon was created on a website I've found. It's the small 'heart and bandage' at the top of the page. If anyone can help I'd be very, very grateful. This website is something to do with Surviving Infidelity
Thanks in advance for any help

Make the heart with the Custom Shape tool.
Add a Gradient Overlay (radial).
Make two little rectangles and align them at right angles with the transform tool.
I gave them a drop shadow to make them stand out better.

How was this SWF created?

Hi. How was this video created? It displays the name "Joe
Schmoe" throughout; this could be any text, by the way.
http://www.cnnbcvideo.com/?nid=lRbWr4wkznBWkEcCraq91zQ5Njc2NA--&referred_by=14859716-SGF0a 4x
What software would you need? Any examples of how one might
create this? Thanks.
[Please note: I'm not responsible for the political content
of the video; I work for a non-profit who would like to create a
video like this for fundraising. Thanks.]

It could be one of the effects in Swish.

How was this effect created?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what was done to create the cool effect at this site?
www.robbiecrawford.com
When the links on the left are rolled-over an image appears in a small window that follows the cursor. Very cool.
I was hoping to learn how to do that, myself, but can't figure it out. No need for a step-by-step tutorial, just a word or two to point me in the right direction.
THANK YOU!

It could essentially involve a movieclip that follows the mouseY property with a minor bit of tweening to a stop, possibly triggered by a MOUSE_MOVE event. Hover over/out of the individual menu items loads/unloads a preview image in the movieclip.

How was this background created?

Hi,
From this site:
https://www.softwarekey.com/
I've downloaded the attached jpg image.
Notice the background has a nice wash or maybe soft stone effect. I'm talking about the soft diagonal lines. Not the gradient so much. Can someone give me pointers how to get this? I've tried brushes, patterns, textures. I've tried various gradients. And I don't even get close.
TIA.

a combination of Filter->Render->Fibers, Filter->Blur->Motion Blur and Filter->Blur->Surface Blur should get you close enough (it'll be a grayscale so you'll have to set it to the Overlay or Soft Light blend modes at reduced opacity). Can't give you exact numbers because in the short time i've been messing with it i haven't been able to get it to look exactly like that but it's close enough

How was this done (Stacking)?

Hello!
How was this effect done? http://www.riccardomagherini.com/fine_art/, I think I know how it is finished in PS, but how do you shoot this?

Hi Alex,
this tool is usually called the Blur or soft-focus effect (translated from my German PS). Many programs offer this brush for applying to the effect. Often you can select the photo, create a soft edge selection and then make the selection using filter blurred or you yourself blur some of the image areas.
And we have the tool "Unsharp Mask". For this purpose, only the original image and a blurred version are required. The layer structure, however, shows good results only if your program supports 32-bit color depth, like Photoshop.
On the other hand, I'm sure you will get better explanations, by asking Riccardo Magherini himself at http://www.riccardomagherini.com/fine_art/contact/. I'm sure you will get answers marked of a professional competence and responsibility.

How was this done - movable shape that changes percentage

I saw a presentation that had a pointer that the user could smoothly drag along a horizontal line, and when moving the pointer, the percentage underneath the pointer automatically changed. The pointer can be moved horizontally along the line, but cannot be moved vertically.
How was this done --- Is this something that can be accomplished in Captivate, or was it done in another program and inserted into Captivate? See two examples below.

AFAIK this can be done in Captivate, if you include some widgets (thinking about the Slider component widget of InfoSemantics). But widgets are not compatible with HTML5 output.
For HTML5, Edge Animate could produce that kind of interactivity as well, and you can embed an OAM package in Captivate, using the App packager in CP7, and right away in CP8.

How was this "flash" animation done?

How was this "Flash" animation done?
http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/15812.html
There is a "flash" that goes down the sholder of a man in this Flash intro page. It is a series of jpg images. Do you know how this can be done or which program was used? I want to chage the page of it.
Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,
I'm pretty sure it's done with a mask. You have the man picture layer and the border layout masked by a symbol (maybe a square or rectangle) above it.
If you want to know how to use mask in Flash, just ask Google. There is a bunch of tutorial on the web.
Hope it's a good start for you !

What version was this PDF created in?

I have a PDF that was uploaded to our website. If I save it to my computer and look at the properties I only see detail reflecting my version of Adobe Reader
. Is there a way for me to see what version of full Adobe was used to create this file?

There are any number of programs that can create a PDF form. Adobe has Acrobat, LiveCycle Designer, LiveCycle ES, InDesign. Third party providers inlcude Open Office Org and Nitro PDF. It is even possible to add form fields in a PS file and have Distiller create the form. You might want to look at the Acrobat Users Community for tutorials and eSeminars about creating forms.

How was SoundTrack Pro created? Who?

I gather than Soundtrack Pro is a rather different program than Soundtrack, which I have never used.
If it is rather different, where did it come from? How was it created/who created it? Did it originate in the purchase of some earlier program?
If it was not purchased, but created in-house, who created it? What else have they created for Apple?
Could it be that some of the Logic people wrote SoundTrack Pro?
Will mastering SoundTrack Pro be a good starter for learning Logic Pro or will it just makes things worse?

muzak,
My conclusion via STP is to get the biggest, fastest external Hard Drive which will work from my firewired PowerBook. Run cooler. Also want quiet as I can get. I guess I will get used to plugging and uplugging hard drives.
My chopper time was in piston-engined jobs, pre-Vietnam. The jet-turbine powered choppers had not yet arrived. Our biggest was the H-21, the so-called Flying Banana. I flew co-pilot in one of those. My primary helicopters were the Bell H-13, probably familiar to you with its big bubble front end and tubular fuselage, and the Hiller H-23, with a metal-covered fuselage. The first models had a slanty windshield, but later ones had a bubble, like the Bell.
I was in VietNam in 1962, as a civilian doing a market survey for North American Aviation. The Vietnamese regarded me as a CIA agent. I went with South Vietnamese Army elements as the only caucasian almost to the Cambodian border. Took a lot of pictures.
I had been home only a short time when the infamous battle of Ap Bac occurred, giving the Viet Cong their first big victory. Americans were killed, four Flying Bananas went down, plus one Huey. I was very popular on the military briefing circuit for a time after that, with my current pictures of the then almost unknown VietNam.
No Chinooks. They came later.

How was this made?

Was this made with a Motion/AE type software, or a true 3D animation software such as Maya or 3DSmax?

Probably both.

Transitions... how was this done?

http://www.lounginrecordings.com/index_flash.html
notice the smooth transition from section to section... as if
the whole site is one continuous movie? how is this handled? is
this a "levels" and "root" thing (something i know nothing about
yet)?
thanks.

These type of transitions are the easiest. Let me explain how
it works.
From frame 1 to 10 you have some motion tween - fading in.
Than from frame 10 to 20 fading out, or motion out, like in
your example motion out.
On that 10th frame there is an action that picks a variable
and go to frame in a
movie clip accordingly. All the button does is sets variable
and play
the timeline, than timeline frame 10th action call the
content and while
the fading is done, the content has been changed.
Button :
on (release) {
_root.pa = 2;
_root.play();
than frame 10
MovieClipWithContent.gotoAndPlay ("p" + _root.pa);
Inside MovieCLipWithContent make labels p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 p7
and so on....

How was this created

I have a hard time believing that someone manually adjusted all 1200 gradient mesh nodes to cook this up just to sell it on a stock site... Is there another way to generate meshes? I need to do another version of this style...

Hah. Ask me about your font cache and then you can call me conversant.
So, as I said above, I was hoping to avoid the gradient mask in the name of simplicity and started off as such:
Divide up a circle into 120 slices. Make it twist with an Envelope Distort (mesh), take one of the now-twisted slices, toss the rest,
Give it a gradient somewhat like the middle of the range of colors, make it into a symbol.
Make another smaller slice that's feathered a good bit and fits within the thicker (outer part) of the larger slice, make it yellower (part of my problem - it gets darker towards the outside, nolt lighter) and make that a symbol.
Effect->transform->transform to rotate around 119 times to get back to round. Expand appearance to get 120 slices made of 2 symbols each. Select-> same symbol instance and re-group as 2 groups, one of each symbol. Use the symbol stainer to add variance.
Oh and make a version of the larger slice that's white with a dark inner glow, set to multiply, to add the dark lines. I put a gradient/difference cloud opacity mask over it to try to dull it some - it was still too strong in the end.
Problems:
would do better to be a blend between the symbols rather than using one feathered but can't because when you expand the rotate, you expand the blend.
the symbol stainer doesn't work very well, or very directly anyhow. Adding yellow to red somehow gets green. I would prefer it pull it towards yellow.
My next thought was to make a neutral starting slice that could be rotated around and adjusted with some randomly placed highlight/shading slices that would be blurred somehow. That killed my afternoon, waiting for Illustrator to do a radial blur on ~2 dozen blends. I thought my iMac would catch on fire. Here's where I sit, with no blur:
And I feel cautiously optimistic, based on the possibility of actually performing the blur I imagine.
I guess I was hoping that someone could suggest a new starting point since my starting points seemed to be falling a fair bit short. Maybe some insight as to how the original piece was created would help me to recreate it.
At this point, it's looking like I would have saved more time by doing gradient meshes! :-)
Thanks!

How was this created? (Animation)

Looks simple enough but when we try to come up with a
solution to create it.. we come up empty handed.
The animation in question is on the homepage for
presentationpro.com - It happens on the left side of the screen
towards the begining. A partial circle starts (a lens-flare
preceeds it) and it completes itself into a full circle/donut. We
are trying to recreate this.. does anyone have an idea or know how
this was done?
Thanks you.

Here's my 10 min attempt to help you get started:

How was this created? 3D map

Can someone help me with how this was created. The 3D look of the states coming out of the map? Also the sides look cut too.
Thanks

Yup - an extrusion. To do this in Illustrator, select each of your shapes that make up the states you want coming out at you. Group them (Cmd or ctrl + G) and with your Group selected go to Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel. Set the extrude depth to match the effect you are after. The image you posted looks like some perspective has been added too. If you want a different colour for the cut sides, make sure your shapes have got a stroke applied.
Good luck.
