Go from this to , using Photoshop CS2. Intermediate level of difficulty.

@ isabonita´ s JOURNAL !!!

thanks for reading!!

using Photoshop CS. not sure if its translatable
I saw the question for it and figured since no one was able to answer I should do a tutorial for it.

Couple problems:

- For some reason all of my font sizes are messed up. Like a size 4 is like a size 12 and stuff... Does anyone know how to fix that? It's all of my fonts too, not just a big font I downloaded. Recently it feels as though my brushes are doing that as well, just not as drastically.

- Also, I use a tablet and all of a sudden it stopped turning to eraser function when I flipped it over to the eraser 'end' and pressure sensitivity isn't working anymore either (>.

This is my second coloring tutorial for Paint Shop Pro 7. It involves only color layers, a hue/saturation layer, and finally, curves so it should be translatable onto any program--if not, I'm sure there are substitutions.

BEFORE	AFTER

PROGRAM: PSP7 DIFFICULTY: Easy
(TUTORIAL + PSD @ MY JOURNAL)

 to  using PSPX.

Translatable to other programs and versions.

I made this tutorial in a new format, since it was sort of longer than my other ones, so if you have any questions/need clarifications, go ahead and ask. :P

 

I scanned the memories but couldn't find anything about Adobe Fireworks.

Having recently aquired Photoshop CS3 I was saddened to find that rather than having ImageReady which I am comfortable with, I'm stuck with Adobe Fireworks. I found a ridiculous way of animating icons (*points to current userpic*) that takes much longer than it ever did in IR but now i'm hoping to do a different kind of animation.

With ImageReady I could open up a .mov file select part of the video and turn it into an icon like this:

When I tried to do the same in Fireworks, the program wouldn't even acknowledge the existence of the video files, let alone open them.

Is there a way to capture videos to make graphics out of them or have I made a ginormous mistake by investing in PSCS3 with Fireworks?

 to  in PSPX

It should be translatable to other versions of PSP, but PS will need a subsitution for one step.

From This to This -- using PSP8 (may not transferable, not sure)

I was wondering if there is a tool or something that makes it so only some things are in colour. I desaturated this but I want the number on his back to be in colour and the tattoos on his arm. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks :) Also I use Photoshop 7

Fourth Tutorial :)

In just seven easy steps. :) Includes only Levels.

btw, it can't be done with copying the picture and pasting it to the frame. ><''

from to

does not work with every picture, turns dark browns and blacks green. Also you might not want to work with a very bright image.  i used photoshop CS2 but i'm guessing it will work with other versions of photoshop too.

This is my first tutorial i am sharing with anyone other than my f-list so if there is something wrong feel free to point it out
