How would you make an effect like this?
Hi! I'm new to the forums, but hopefully it's ok if I start this new discussion. I'm very new to Photoshop as well (newbie).
Here is the image: http://sffbookreview.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/life-of-pi-banner.png
How would you make the image on the right - with the watercolor painting crop effect of the tiger? Also, how would you make the font on the left gradually turn to orange?
Thanks! Your help is much appreciated.
Hi there,
Here's a really quick tutorial on how to add the mask and gradient text over the image of a tiger.
Masking the Image
1) Open your image of the tiger. There should be two layers in your layers panel: the image and a white background.
2) With the tiger layer selected, click on the icon marked below in the layers panel to create a layer mask.
3) Being sure you have the mask you just created selected, paint with black using the brush tool to mask out the image. In your layers panel, if you look at the mask icon, you will see the areas where you were painting (on the canvas) change to black. Use a variety of brushes to recreate the effect in your example image.
Creating Text with a Gradient Effect
1) Use the Type Tool to create your basic text and reposition it on the page with the Move Tool.
2) In the layers panel, control click on the type layer and select Blending Options.
3) In the dialog box that opens, check the Gradient Overlay box and click on the "gradient overlay" text to move to the gradient options. Adjust the angle of the gradient, then click on the colored bar to select the colors you want. Click OK on each dialog to close them.
Final result:
I hope this helps, and please let me know if you need any more assistance.

How would you detect a ground like this:
I have made racing games in the past, but never a side scrolling type.
Im trying to make one similar to this: http://www.gamesfreak.net/games/Cyclo-Maniacs_3730.html
But how would you keep the player on the ground? well not stuck to the ground because we would want the player to be able to use things like ramps.
Would it be a hit test? hmmmmmmmm Any ideas? anyone.Oh i apoligize. I pressumed because of the popularity of box2D you meant that. Well the code I have so far does a OK job for physics.

How would you implement a page like this?
Hello
When you look at www.autoweek.nl you see a little down 6 tab pages (Alle Rubrieken - Autonieuws etc.)
My question is about the way you could implement the contents of one tab page.
Would the content be several html regions (one for every message), or would it be a report? Or even something else?
I'm struggling with the number of items. When I choose a html region for every news item I have a fixed number of HTML regions, which is not flexible.
A report gives me this flexibility but is not that easy to layout?
See also: http://www.autoweek.nl/nieuwsindex.php
Any suggestions appreciated!
Regards Erik
Edited by: Erik Trip - Darwin IT on Nov 5, 2010 9:04 AMI would say a region per Tab and inside the Tab it is a report.
brgds,
Peter

How do you make a gradient like this
Is it a linear, radial, angle, etc?
Tried a few things but nothing is working to match it yet.
Thanks.charles badland wrote:
Unless you are using an Adjustment Layer Gradient
Right idea, slightly wrong terminology. It's actually a Fill Layer on which you can make a gradient, then edit its characteristics.
Once you have such a Fill Layer created, you can edit it by double clicking the gradient icon in the Layers panel, and you can move its position by unchecking "Align with layer" then moving the center by dragging it while the Gradient Fill dialog is still open:

How do you make an image like this?
I am sorry if this is time consuming but I saw this image on a website and it caught my attention.
Ai is Illustrator, but a lot of digital artists use Photoshop for this sort of illustration. I suspect most of it for the gaming industry.
Check out Digital Tutors. They have a number of titles that show a step by step guide to producing artwork very similar to your guide.

BTW I do hope this is a serious question. The similarity of your usename to the text in the illustration, had me thinking you might be spamming this forum. Tell me I'm wrong and I'll be happy to help. -
How can I make a image like this one? (image in description)
Hi guys I need to know how can I make a image like this one http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/2710/69823211.gif
I need step by step instructions please. How can I animate it like that? Whats the font? Tell me everything please.To do a step by step instruction on here will take someone a very long time, as you havent really said at what level you are at.
On Youtube there are a lot of animation tutorials for PS. But essentially in this case you are moving that white streak across a few frames at a time.

How hard to make a website like this one ?
Hi, I hope I don't stress people with my status, but I'm a
complete newbie with desire to learn. I just figured out we have
Dreamweaver at school in the Mac studio, adobe version if I recall
correctly and I wanted to make a band website with it, but couldn't
understand where to start.
So first, since I don't want to hire anybody to do it for me,
I would like to know how hard it would be to make a website like
this one :
http://franzferdinand.co.uk/
In my logic, the first step would be to create a background
image with the menu drawn in it then add buttons to them to
navigate. I would then add the content boxes with scroll bars using
the draw div function.
My second question, how do I go about learning this software
? Are courses given somewhere ?
Thanks, Francis.> So first, since I don't want to hire anybody to do it

If you know nothing of web design and development, it's going
to be hard.
Not that you can't do it. It's just going to take you a lot
of time and
effort to get up to speed on things.

That isn't how that site was built nor the best way to to it.
The site in
question is fairly basic HTML and then styled with a lot of
well put
together CSS.
> My second question, how do I go about learning this
software ? Are courses
> given somewhere ?
Don't learn Dreamweaver. Instead, learn HTML, CSS,
Javascript, etc. Getting
a basic understanding of HTML and CSS will then allow you to
figure out
Dreamweaver fairly intuitively, plus you'll have a MUCH
better framework of
understanding to work from.
And feel free to ask questions in here!

How would you make datacopy faster in a calc?
I have a calc that looks like this and it's running quite slow because of size of data.
FIX (Scenario, Version, Product)
DATACOPY Salary>Year to Salary_Copy->Year;
DATACOPY Marketing->Year to Marketing_Copy->Year;
DATACOPY Training->Year to Training_Copy->Year;
ENDFIX
- Salary, Marketing and Training are from the Account dimension (dense). The Salary_Copy etc are also in the same Account dimension in a different tree.
- Scenario, Version and Product are Sparse.
- Year is dense
Before looking to tune other things like hardware, I wonder if I could write the script any better. For example, see below... But my question is whether DATACOPY or direct is faster? Second is whether I should put "Year" as part of the FIX or should I be using cross-dimensional operators instead?
FIX (Scenario, Version, Product, Year)
Salary = Salary_Copy;
Marketing = Marketing_Copy;
Training = Training_Copy
ENDFIX
Thanks for any help in advance.

First, in your fix are you fixing on the dimension names or actual members. For example fixing on the entire product dimension will be slow, fixing on levmbrs(product,0) would be much quicker.
I actually like the second method you describe better than the first. It is even better if you wrap them in a block statement Shown below, so only one pass is done through the database.
FIX (Scenario, Version, Product, Year)
(Salary = Salary_Copy;
Marketing = Marketing_Copy;
Training = Training_Copy
ENDFIXIf we wrap into one block statement will it affect the Essbase to make use parallel CPU threads in data copy execution?

Why not use something like SQL or MySql? You would simply install the database software on your VM or server, then you configure your server's endpoints, firewall/router's ports, and you should be good to access it from any Client-Capable software.

Looking to make a gradient similar to the one in the "BubbleBoddy" font here -

How to create a text effect like this (see example)
Hello everybody,
i would like to create a text, pretty similiar to this shirt: http://www.kuhvet.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/OKC-Conference-Champs-LR-T-shirt.jpg
So, the stext hould appear in 3D (kind of) and also should have a golden and silver outline. Also the shadow should drop in front of the text.
I hope that's possible and not that hard to create? I'm a beginner to Illustrator (CS4).
Thanks a lot for your help
Warm regards from Germany
FlorianI would not waste time using AI 3D tools to accomplish this effect. It is 1 point perspective. Start with your front text, establish a horizon line and vanishing point, scale and duplicate the text using the vanishing point as your center of scaling, then connect the points to create the "extruded effect" between the to sets of text. You can outline the text to accomplish this.
For the reflected text, as John suggested, duplicate your text and distort it. Read about "Envelope Distortion" meshes. These will keep your distorted text fully editable, if that is a concern.
Have fun learning Illustrator. -
How do you make it look like a book?
Hi,
I noticed that many best selling books they have along the edges, like a hard book cover.
Then in the middle of the page is a page crease.
These two elements make it look much more like a book.
How do I create these elements for my book?
How do they use the headers and footers?
Many thanks,
ElaineThose books were not made using iBooks Author.
iBA books (hybrid epub) will not provide that style/look.
You'll need to create a standard epub if you want that type of navigation/presenation to the suer. Apple's Pages (also Indesign, etc.) will output the epub format that will provide the exact look in your example/screenshot.
See iBA Tips and Tricks 01 - on 'page turn animation'.
