  1. How would you get the picture under the glassy part to kind of be magnified? Would zoom blur work?

    You could highlight the part you want magnified and copy it to a new layer. Use the layer properties to zoom it on the Rotate/zoom... then select the empty area on either side and invert the selection. Merge layer down, make a new layer, and proceed as normal! See the kitten pick below... I used it there.

  2. Sorry guys I've been tied up for a few days with annoying issues, long story involving train cars and politicians and an evil rich guy. Anyway, I'll try to make this as simple as I can and maybe someone can make this into a tut. I hope you don't mind but I'm going to send this to Yellowman in a PM and copy it to David Atwell so that they can look it over so I can stay out of trouble by posting a tut within a tut. It's been a long week. Thanks.

    It's a community tutorial... you're supposed to put your tutorial for stone in it!

  3. Woah... It does something totally cool to the fire... I used the Linear (Relected) Gradient to make fire instead of clouds... and Voila... Cool accents to the flame.... On the full size, it has colors mixed in on the after... Nice effect & Nicely done tut!

  4. First tut, so don't laugh... It is kinda gruesome, but a cool effect.

    This tut will be mostly in pictures, so just follow the arrows on the screenshots. Most are self-explanatory.

    You will use:

    Fire!

    Paint bucket

    Gradient (reflected linear and radial)

    Curves

    1. Fill the Background with black.

    2. Add a new layer, you can name it if you really want...

    3. Select the light grey on the pallette for your primary and clear (0 on the transparency alpha) and use the linear gradient or the radial gradient (see arrows).

    4. Make a line or radial on New Layer.

    5. Repeat 4 until you are sastified with the result.

    6. Go to Effects>Render>Fire! while still on New Layer. Adjust until you are satisfied with the results.

    7. Go to Adjustments>Curves and adjust the luminosity to darken the 'blood.'

    8. Go back to Curves to make it redder. Notice that it is still separate from the background. Do not flatten, since it will mess with the coloring.

    9. Once again, go back to curves to fine-tune the darkness on luminosity.

    10. Finally, we flatten the image and voila! Bloody metal!

    Don't be afraid to show what you've made!
