lyngs Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hi, I have this razorblade that I would like to look more realistic. As much as possible. Anyone got some tips/plugin's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitzo Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Thats actually not bad..If your trying to make it look like a razor blade, look at a real razor blade and copy it, lets see, a razor blade is sharp! You might want to sharpen the edges. Go to EFFECTS>PHOTO>SHARPEN. And make the amount 20. The color looks good, but make it a little darker, go to ADJUSTMENTS>HUE/SATURATION. Leave the first two at defualt, and make the lightness -5. This should give the color just a tad darker. And, if you really make it look real, go to EFFECTS>STYLIZE>RELIEF. Make the angle between -40.00 and -140.00 for a realistic look. And thats all I can offer, sorry if its bad, or just plain dumb. I hope this helped you, have fun and good luck!

lyngs Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Thx for the tips. After playing around for a few hours I got this: Not quite satisfied with the sharp edges tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 As you're creating an object in profile, using effects to mimic three-dimensional features, such as sharpen to make the edges look sharp, may not work as well as intended. In light of the medium, I would (also) suggest attempting to illustrate a metallic appearance; essentially the advice given already: If your trying to make it look like a razor blade, look at a real razor blade and copy it look up some chrome tutorials in the tutorial section Give these results a try:http://www.google.com/cse?cx=0178119197 ... &sa=Search http://www.sxc.hu/photo/435178 Perhaps creating a background - better than below - would also hint realism: Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
