The_Lionhearted Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Did you blur the text before you started? Try following the directions to the letter if you try it again...it's difficult to see where someone went wrong just by seeing the end result. :? Welcome to the forums!

smitherson Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I still can't get it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jud@s Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 ok... I get the basics of it, but I still dont know how to get my background black like some of the others have done in thier works of art. I'll show two examples of what I've done. This is what I had when going by the tut as I understood it This I done in the same mannor, and had the same background as above, but I used a brush and pencil to get the background black. The hand was a symbol from a .ttf font I donno if that what I did to the second was the same as others have done to thier pics, or if I was missing a step or two in my work on both. I must say that the tut for the "exploding planet" was more informative in the usage and steps of "how to do". Does anyone have an easier explaination to the step by step on this tut? EDIT: please dont get me wrong... I think that the tut is great, and I've learnd a lot from it, but I somehow just dont know how many sheets I should do when doing all discribed in it. Also... a lot of times when I merge the layers down again, I get no effects from the lower images when merged. But I'll keep experienting with it and see how things work Quote 100% PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also... a lot of times when I merge the layers down again, I get no effects from the lower images when merged. But I'll keep experienting with it and see how things work I find the easiest way to get the background to be black is by using two layers at first. it says to make the text layer ...white on black....yes this is true, but I found that by making your first layer all black....then adding a new layer which is where you will put your white text, on the new layer. then follow the tutorial as it goes just keep in mind the added step Quote "What will we do if we don't try and help eachother?"

Jud@s Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Eventhough I've found out by myself how to get the desired background, I still cant get the same effect in the lettering that you guys get... but with a bit of further testing around and trying things out, I managed to make this sig. Please dont laugh, I know its simple. But also keep in mind that I have never used any grafic art programs before this, and the amount of knowlage that I had from other photo programs was only enough to make a negative, a B&W, and to do red eye reduction.

Dennis123 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 The flatten effect doesn't work for me, can someone help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Flatten? To flatten an image, go to the Image menu, and click "flatten". It's not an effect. It just makes all the layers into one layer.

plork Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Help! I can't even get past the first part! It says: >Create the text layer, white on black: I create a new layer. I set the primary colour to white and the secondary colour to black. I then click the Text (from tools) and choose my font and font-size. BUT, when it comes to typing, it's in white font so i can't see what i'm typing. I'm obviously missing the point on this first part. Can someone explain in simple terms what I'm supposed to do here please Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jud@s Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I think your missing the part about making the background black with the paint bucket before you make a white text on it :wink: Quote 100% PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkbark00 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 You need to make your background black first. I guess that is kinda implied.. Use the paint bucket fill :PaintBucketTool: to make your background black before making your text...

ncfan51 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Way back in January, when I first attempted this, I completely screwed up. "Gaaaaakkk!" I cried "I will never complete this tutorial, ever! Curse you hard tut!". So for the next 5 months I completely ignored it. But when I realized the recent beehive of activity at this thread, I decided to give it another shot. It worked. "Huzzah!" I declared. And here are the results fantastico!: Here's the neat, tidy, and clean version: Here's the normal version: And here is the awesome zoom blurred version: One more time! Huzzah!
