blurb23 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I just saw this article posted up on Digg using Photoshop, and thought it'd be great if we could get a similar effect with PDN.

Myrddin Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 How about this... And if people like and want, could I do my first tut with this? However, after seeing Ash's, maybe mine ain't that good. Actually quite shoddy. Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lionhearted Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 See if you could get Ash's lighting settings. I thought he did a great job on that! (imho too much blur uH) Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Actually, you can get Ash's light settings if you do step 12. I added that step after I posted my version of the picture. As for blur, you can set the unfocus to 4px, but I like it higher. And the aim wasn't really to get the same exact picture (even though I'm close), but to make a tut that shows you how to do it on another picture.

usedHONDA Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 The thing is that it's hard to unlazy. You need to hit Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Windows Key+Tab+Delete+Esc+F7+Z. That's why I don't unlazy very often. EDIT: I just tried to do the shortcut in real life. It was hard, but I did it (I used my chin for F7).

Ash Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 However, after seeing Ash's, maybe mine ain't that good. Actually quite shoddy. All you need to do is just to adjust some brightness/contrast 8) The thing is that it's hard to unlazy. You need to hit Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Windows Key+Tab+Delete+Esc+F7+Z.

usedHONDA Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 The unlazy technique should be posted on Digg EDIT: I think this is getting a bit off topic...

usedHONDA Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I think the main part of it was the Layer blend mode [Multiply]. Then the rest was just blurring and dramatizing.

I never would've thought to go B/W, and then blend with Multiply. I usually just blow around with the contrast. This was a much better idea.

I never would've thought to go B/W, and then blend with Multiply. I usually just blow around with the contrast. This was a much better idea. After using PDN for a while. Usually, one would know what steps to take to reach the look they want. Unless it's something totally new and mind blowing. And I did the same image with a little different steps then uH, but came out quite the same.
