is there a way to make that checker board style in photoshop?



AND 1 -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/4/2007 23:22:53)

Just search for checkered backgrounds on Photobucket? Dunno if that's a legitimate answer, but that's what I'd do.



relykswalton -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/5/2007 12:06:38)

I know. =D
Make a 9x9 pixel document, and get out your pencil tool. Make it a 3x3 pixel square brush. Zoom in so you can see all the pixels,as far as you can. Then use the brush to make a checkerboard pattern. Edit<Define Pattern and name is 'Checkerboard', so you can remember it. Then make a new layer, double click it, and set it to pattern overlay. Click the pattern you just made. then click Ok.
you would repeat with a bigger document and a bigger brush if you wanted to have a bigger pattern. kk? kgood. =D

Edit is win =D

Nicky-
Thanks =D
I also heard that there is a way to re-size or vector without illustrator. I'll go ask a professional.
You can change it from the stroke menu, but I like to have the color in my palette afterwards; so I set it as Fg Color.
Rawr for typos.



Nicky -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/5/2007 21:05:23)

Yay Relyks.

Added the checkerboard question to the front page, waiting a test run by Chaos on that vector one :)



uberboi -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/6/2007 0:43:56)

Mr. Zarnac -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/6/2007 17:09:32)

how do i download and implement brushes into photoshop?



Nicky -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/6/2007 23:34:10)

Hey Z :3

You can download brushes from DeviantArt. Here are some nice ones. Click a thumbnail you like, and click the little download button to the left of the preview.
Download it as you normally would another file.

If it's a .rar file, read from here, if it's an .abr file, read from the next paragraph.
Extract the brushes out of the .rar file with a nifty program called winRAR. If you don't have it, chances are there's a trial for it on www.download.com.
Right click the rar thing, and Extract -> To Here if you want the files wherever you are in your files.
Once you extract the files, you should have an .abr file (if it's in a folder, go into the folder).

Copy your .abr file (right click -> copy).
Now go to C:/Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop xxx/Presets/Brushes, and paste your file in there (Right click empty space -> Paste). "xxx" being your version number.
Now reload Photoshop, and your brushes should be in there.

Good luck, Z.. Hope that helped :)



Mr. Zarnac -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/7/2007 19:42:53)

thanks nicky, helped a lot! <3



Hypnotic -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/7/2007 20:07:02)

Idk if anyone here on on aq at all (no offense =P) knows how to airbrush properly, but I need help with it =P
And by airbrushing I don't mean over a photo or anything, I mean from scratch ^^



Nicky -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/7/2007 20:37:05)

Zarnac: No troubles at all :D

Hypnotic: I have no idea :3
I'd just say look at the subject closely and brush the base colour in the main shape, then work over that with the smaller details.
:3
Sorry I couldn't really help.

Added Hypnotics question to the front page.



relykswalton -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/7/2007 23:45:06)

Nicky/Zarnac-
You can also download WinRar (I beleive it's called that, I'll check), it's much easier. It opens zip files and such(Like brushes), where you can extract them to anywhere you want. Or you can click the install file (Included with most brush sets,forget what it's called=/), which opens Ps, and the brushes are there. The best part is that it's free and doesn't expire. That's what I have, it's really helpfull for downloading any file. ;D

Gah. I didn't notice you said almost the same thing up there O_o
Must not have oticed it. Heheh.



Nicky -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/8/2007 5:30:08)

Yeah, I have WinRar too, I believe I said that in the post up there ^^.

If I didn't, thanks for pointing that out o.o



Lightnin10 -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/8/2007 5:36:04)

Hypnotic -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/13/2007 12:46:32)

may I see?
And nicky, I said from scratch, I only have the concept in my mind =P



Nicky -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/14/2007 7:07:59)

Yeah, good point Jet xD.

And Shadow Dragon, as Hypnotic said, could you please provide some examples of your work for him to see...



uberboi -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/20/2007 0:36:06)

In photoshop I pressed this thing and a measuring thing appeared and I cant get rid of it so my question is how do I get rid of it?



Nicky -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/20/2007 23:43:47)

What do you mean by measuring thing? If you mean a ruler on the top and left side of your canvas (It's white with black numbers), you can get rid of it by pressing Control + R, I believe.



uberboi -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/20/2007 23:45:57)

K cool thanks Nicky =D



DeathKnight2 -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/21/2007 0:15:47)

Well I know photoshop has spherize but for me it does nothing but disort my planet :P I was trying to do TVO's scapescape tut but nothing looks 3D... Any idea why?



relykswalton -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/27/2007 0:18:07)

My favorite way to do planets is to cut the texture to a circle, duplicate, and use the spherize firlter at 100 twice. Then it's round. YOu need to add shadows too.
Did you do the spherize on the texture layer?



aNyThInG -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (7/30/2007 13:24:41)

How do i recolour a picture? http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/9849/1231sslamboginijp5.jpg I would like to change the colour of Lamborghini into something else. How do I do it?



Nicky -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (8/1/2007 7:09:08)

First you will probably have to cut out the image. This process is called rendering, and there are numerous tutorials around the place. You basically use the pen tool and trace around, then when you connect the line to make a distorted oval shape, right click -> make selection and hit okay. Then right click -> Select inverse and press delete.
Then press Control + U in photoshop, check the colourise box, and drag the hue slider. That should make it change colour. Hit okay, and you'll have a recoloured car. You can re-paste the image back underneath the car to get the background back into it.

That should be it... But if you would rather a more detailed explanation, PM me ^^



relykswalton -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (8/2/2007 16:04:51)

Or you could do a hue-saturation layer, and just erase around the car.
Pretty much what Nicky said, except faster and not as nice looking.
Or use the magic wand set to add selection, select all of the car(Will take a bit of time), then fill it with the hue-saturation layer. Your choice.



TyberAlyx -> RE: Photoshop Q&A Thread (8/4/2007 6:31:31)

How do you add downloaded photoshop brushes?
