4 create a new layer and use your grunge brush but this time use white for the color of your brush.



5. And finally create a new layer and use your grunge brushes and use black for the color of your brush.



6.Get a good render and place it on top of all your layers in a nice spot.

7.While having the render layer selected hold Ctrl+U then check the colorize box and set the sturation to zero



8. Now go to Layer>New adjustment layer>color balance
then hit ok. Then a new box should appear and the fool around with the shadows midtones and highlights until you get a good color.



9.Now select the lasso tool and change the feather to 20 and select around the part of the render you want to be shown the best. (if you dont know what i mean refer to picture. then go to the layers area and click the add a layer mask.



(your siggy should look like this so far>>))

10.Now enter in your text where ever looks good. Make sure the color is black.
Then right click the layer and change the blending options to :

Drop Shadow - Default
Inner Shadow - Default
Bevel and Emboss- Depth 1% - size 0
Color overlay- pick a nice color from your backround (maybe one of the lighter colors) opacity 70%
stroke - 1pixel - color black



11. Create a new layer select lasso tool right click then select all. then right click again go to stroke and 1 pixel color is black and inside.
then you are done!!

Heres the final product



NOTE **** The border has to be over the color balance layer.

ANOTHER NOTE***** The text can be over or under the color balance layer depending on what looks best for you.

What is a grunger?

And where can I get it?

point out my typo if thats what you mean?

Oops... Ment grunge... Forget my post.. Your using adobe photoshop...


Where can I get adobe photoshop?

i dun have photoshop, but that looks awesome....

Puni you can get it at www.adobe.comwww.adobe.com

or go to like comp usa or circut city or bestbuy i bet they would have it
5.0 or higher s good

Adobe is pretty expensive Puni.
Its about 600 dollars or so, and thats for 7.0, I believe someone can clarify if I am wrong.

But,
I have Adobe, however I'll try doing this, I got it about a week ago, and been around with it since. I'll post my results, when and if I get finished with it, lmao.

I have adobe photoshop cs thaks to shadowbrood

I smell... shrimp.

I wonder how Shadow was involved...

Hmm...

-.-

ED - Lol! For some reason when I was closing my tags I put in [/how] lmao.

Well I did it!
I FINALLY DID IT, lmao.. This took a bit longer then I thought, but.. I got it finally. Jesus..

Here it is,
Oh yea, I had a lot of problems, like finding a good render, so I used this grunt I took out of a picture, when I "extracted" it. So.

Phew.





Hmm, it should work now... if not let me know, might have to change my image hosting to photobucket or image shack.. :\

And no,
$600 isn't an exaggeration,
Not for Adobe CS2.
7.0 = $499.99

i dont see anything

anyway, 600$ is an exaggeration. Thats higer than some Dells! (Right?)

[/how]

if you have trouble finding a render go to RENDERS

At www.download.com there is a trial version. It's what I am (currently) using.

I could fix that trial... I have full, all you need to do is copy certain files into the main directory of Photoshop CS. Uh... [/running away]

Here's what I made BEFORE I saw this tut

nice job shadow

Nice tutorial..

i like it

i kind of already worked that out but it my might be good for the completely new users.. (im about 1 notch above a new user.. having photshop is what gets me that notch )


thx anyways..
