Using light and shadow text photoshop

In this tutorial we are going to take some very basic principles of light and shade to make a rather impressive-looking text effect.
So before we start the tutorial, here is a little diagram about how light might hit an object. Here we have a square object in the middle with light coming from the top left. You can see that where the light hits the object, a shadow is cast on the other side. Note that the shadow is not a Photoshop drop shadow, which makes the object look like it's hovering above the canvas. Here we want the object to look like it's a three dimensional thing stuck on the canvas, extruding if you like. Now tell me what other Photoshop tutorial site gives you diagrams? It's like being back in school!

Make Light and Shadow and a Coffee Cup

In this tutorial, we're going to use some simple circles and gradients to make a cup of coffee viewed from above. The end result isn't that useful, but the process is interesting nonetheless.
We begin with a nice pastelly-blue gradient. Note that with the gradient, I've put the lighter part in the top right. This is important because we are giving the impression that light is coming from the top right and this is will decide what direction other gradients need to go.
On top of that draw a circle and fill it with white.

Photoshop Reflection Effect

In this Photoshop Effects tutorial, we’re going learn how to add reflections, or at least, different reflections, to sunglasses. This is a popular Photoshop effect and opens up a world of creative and artistic possibilities depending on who is wearing the sunglasses and who or what you have them looking at.

Here’s the image I’ll be using for this tutorial:

Photoshop Kaleidoscope Effect Create free


Photography is a skill that I believe most designers should have at least a fundamental understanding of. You never know when you might need to run out and shoot a photo of your own for a project. Personally, I love to shoot photos, and it is nice to have a good catalog of photos in my arsenal, just in case.

making a dreamscape in photoshop

Rose petals -

For this tutorial we are using another stock image from mjranum-stock. Open the model image in photoshop and start extracting the woman from the background. I used the Pen Tool (P) and instead of erasing the background I used a layer mask. After masking the background I reduced the size of the image to 1200×616 pixels

Without Using Any Images Creating a Vortex Texture Effect


Photoshop contains a variety of combinations, for instance, using Difference Clouds for your texture effect. The tutorial below is another example for beginners trying to experiment the vortex texture effect without using any images. Please feel free to apply the difference filter or setting during the process and I am sure that you also can find unlimited possiblilities for texture effects.

Create Animated Earth


There are tons of tutorials describing how to draw our Earth. But all of them are static and they only show the Earth from one side. It is more interesting to see the globe rotating. I’ve decided to fill this gap and write a tutorial devoted to the Earth’s rotation.

Animated Earth
Tip: If you want to repeat my steps using the picture resolution that I use, make sure your computer is powerful enough to handle it. Otherwise, you can reduce all the parameters and work with smaller images. I prefer to work with larger resolution, because I want to have more freedom while editing images, and to save the resulting image at a smaller size for better quality.

Design a 3D Newspaper Cropped Text Effect


When the older generation were young, and needed to create a school design or anything that involved cropping letters, we often cropped them first from an old newsprint, before proceeding to work with a colored paper. So this is pretty much what I wanted to create here — a newspapers cropped draft!

In Photoshop Create a Spectacular Grass Text Effect



Step 1

This tutorial is made up of three parts—the background, the text itself, and some final extra effects. So first of all we’re going to make a background. To do this we create a new document in Photoshop. I made mine 1920 x 1200 because I want this image to sit on my laptop background.
We start by drawing a Radial Gradient with the Gradient Tool (G) going from a light yellow-green (#adbf41) to a mid-range green (#328a26). I wonder if I’ve ever written a tutorial that doesn’t start with a radial gradient.

Creating a Mac-Type Background in Photoshop


This tutorial is about making a “mac” style background. You can use these in all sorts of situations, including the obvious –your desktop– as well as part of your designs or for corporate work (Powerpoint presentations, Flash work, etc). Naturally, you wouldn’t want to use this exact set of steps, but following them will give you a good idea of the technique. Good luck!

Step 1:

We begin with a blank canvas and then draw a subtle gradient across it. (I’m using a 1280×1024 canvas here.)
