Sewing a Fabric Badge in Photoshop
Sewing a Fabric Badge in Photoshop
| Download Fabric Linen by Jaqx Textures. Create a new document of size 500×708 pixels. Drag the texture downloaded into the working document. Name this layer as Fabric. |
 |
| Create a Levels Adjustment Layer and key the settings as 34, 1.00, 255. Follow by another Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer and set Hue to 0, Saturation to 46 and Lightness to -60. |
 |
| Set the foreground color to #FF9000. Create a new layer and name it as Stripes. Draw a few vertical lines with various widths like the example below. Set the Blend Mode of this layer to Overlay. |
 |
| Select the Custom Shape Tool and pick Sign 4 from the preset list. Make a path with that shape at the middle of the working document. |
 |
| Go to Paths tab, select the path created and click on "Load Path as a Selection". Back to Layers tab, select the Fabric layer, press Ctrl+C to copy. Then press Ctrl+V to paste a new layer. Name this new layer as Badge. Go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation. Check on Colorize. Set the Hue to 200, Saturation to 45 and Lightness to 0. |
 |
| Ctrl+left click on the Badge layer to load a selection. Create a new layer and name it as Border. Fill the selection with #FFFFFF. With the selection still on, go to Select > Modify > Contract. Set contract by 20 pixels. Hit Delete. |
 |
| Type the texts you want to appear on the badge. |
 |
| Merge Border and your text layers into one single layer. Ctrl+left click on the layer to load a selection. You may delete the merged layer. Now with the selection still on, select the Badge layer, press Ctrl+C to copy. Then Ctrl+V to paste a new layer. Name this newly pasted layer as Badge Items. Hide the Badge layer behind and you will get something similar to the example below. |
 |
| Select Badge Items layer. Go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation. Check on Colorize. Set the Hue to 0, Saturation to 65 and Lightness to 0. Unhide the Badge layer. |
 |
| Right-click on Badge Items layer and choose Blending Options. Check on Bevel and Emboss. Set the Style to Pillow Emboss, Size to 5px, Highlight Opacity to 30% and leave the rest of settings as default. |
 |
| We need to create a new brush now. Open up the Brushes Palette. Go to Brush Tip Shape and enter the settings as shown below. |
 |
| Go to Shape Dynamics and enter the settings as shown below. |
 |
| Ctrl+left click on Badge Items layer to load a selection. Go to Paths tab, click on "Make Workpath from Selection". Set the foreground color to #FFFFFF. Right-click on the path create and choose Stroke Path. Set the type to Brush and hit OK. |
 |
| That’s all and you are done! You may wish to adjust the colors of your badge items like what I have done. Hope you find this tutorial useful. Thanks! |

Sejarah Munculnya Software Photoshop
Sejarah Munculnya Software Photoshop
Okey kali ini mari kita bahas tentang Sejarah Awal Mulanya Software Photoshop, kita sebagai pengguna dan penikmat software ini alangkah baiknya tidak hanya menikmati dan memanfaatkannya saja akan tetapi perlu juga mengetahu asal usul pencipta pertama software ini, serta sejarah perkembangannya.
Adobe Photoshop ini bermula pada tahun 1987 saat Thomas Knoll, seorang kandidat doktor di Universitas Michigan, Amerika Serikat (AS), membeli ‘Apple Mac Plus’ terbaru untuk mendukung pengerjaan thesisnya. Ia pun terkejut ketika komputer yang dibelinya itu tak mampu menampilkan gambar berwarna grayscale yang berkualitas pada monitor monokrom. Lalu dengan gaya seorang hacker, Thomas memberanikan diri membuat kode sendiri untuk memperbaiki kekurangan tersebut dengan dibantu oleh adiknya Jhon Knoll, akhirnya bersama perjalanan waktu serta melewati banyak tantangan akhirnya Thomas Kloll berhasil menciptakan software Adobe photoshop.
Baru pada tahun 1988, perusahaan scanner BarneyScan tertarik untuk membelinya sebagai software bawaan scanner. Nah, saat itulah nama Photoshop lahir. Tapi sayang, Photoshop muda ini hanya dibuat 200 copy saja sehingga belum dikenal masyarakat luas. Tak ingin berpuas hati, mereka lalu mencoba mencari peruntungan di kawasan industri terkenal, ‘Silicon Valley’.
Adobe Photoshop, di dunia Grafis sampai sekarang masih di gunakan serta menjadi yang paling fenomenal, mungkin sangat familiar bagi kita-kita yang hanya penikmat softeare ini.

Saving files in Photoshop
Saving files in Photoshop
Saving files in Photoshop and file formats.
The file format you use to save your work in Photoshop will depend on how the image will be used.
Preserving Layers
If you want to perserve layer information so you can re-edit the image or apply the same techiques to another image, then save the image as a .psd file a PhotoShop Document.
The Menu item is
File > Save As
Keyboard short cut
Shift + Control + S (PC)
Shift + Command + S (Mac)
In the Save As Dialogue box
Give the file a unique name (Photoshop will add the extension, in this case .psd)
You can also check
Save: ? As A Copy and photoshop will add the word copy to the file name in this case it would be "Beach copy.psd"
TIP: In Photoshop, if there is a button or icon that you dont know what it does, put your "pointer" over the item and dont move it... in a few seconds a yellow box will popup and tell you what it does!
If you want to perserve layers in the PSD document Make sure the Layers box is checked and always perserve your color profile..
Saving for the Internet
The .jpg file format is "lossey" the more the file is compressed, the more data is thrown away. Too much compression and the image/photo looses detail...
The menu is
File > Save for Web...
Whats important here is to choose how much compression, and the file size you want to actually display on the web or in an e-mail
If the file is going to be displayed on a web page Check Convert to sRGB
When you make all your choices click the Save... button at the bottom of the page...

Review Non Destructive editing in Photoshop Camera Raw
Review Non Destructive editing in Photoshop Camera Raw
The Goal:
Edit an image in Photoshop, to enhance, to improve it... and to be able to easily "tweak" or undo/redo the "fixes" at a later date without having to start over again.
In Photoshop you are editing pixels, as a result you should always work with a "copy" of the image, not the original.
1. In Photoshop after loading an image, use the File > Save As menu and save the files as a copy, or rename the file as... I usually just use a numbering system like imagename-001.psd.
This ensures you have an "original" RGB copy, even if you have the original raw image.
2. In your editing process you always want to use the Adjustment panel and the Adjustment layer tools. (If you can)
Images using Photoshop CS5
The Adjustment layer panel
below is a list of adjustment layers… from the layers menu
Example below uses Adjustment layers...
3. Use Smart Objects for each layer of graphics or images that you are merging.
Any time you use the Menu item: Edit > Transform > Scale (etc). First convert the layer to be transformed into a smart object
There are at least 3 ways to do this, select the layer in the layers pallet (so it is highlighted in blue)
then choose Menu:
Layers > Smart Objects > Convert to Smart Object
Or use the Layer drop down menu and choose
Convert to Smart Object
Or right click on the Blue Highlighted Layer and choose
Convert to Smart Object.
Transform Edits changes and "throws away pixels" especially if there is a scaling down in the size of the image...
When you select the transform tool a box surrounds the object and you can see selector squares that let you "transform the object… If you hold down the shift key while dragging with the mouse the transform will retain the original aspect ratio.
By transforming your layer contents to a smart object, the original data is available to re-size the new element without pixilation or having to start over again. In this example both Logos were scaled smaller, then resized upwards… The Logo on the right was converted to a smart Object.
You can see the little "Samart object indicator" square in the bottom right of the thumbnail in the layers pallet
4. Use smart Objects to apply Filters
Use the Filter Menu:
Filter > Convert for Smart Filters
This adds the Smart Object indicator to the layer, and when you choose a filter like "Smart Sharpen" youll see additional layers added beneath the smart object layer that will allow you to change the values in the filter requester any time you want.
re-adjust the effects of the filter
later…
5. Create a Blank Layer
When using any of the tools like the Clone or Healing Tools to edit pixels, create a Blank Layer and use the Tool Bar to toggle on "Edit layers below"
Heres a short tutorial that uses "Edit Layers Below"
6. What if 
Sometimes a task has NO smart features or no built in adjustment layers… a good example is the Adjustment
Shadow/Highlights
The menu is Images > Adjustments > Shadow/Highlights
Heres what to do to make a Flattened copy of the visible layers
Select the layers where you want to apply the changes
If the layers are contiguous select the first layer, press and hold down the shift key, then select the last layer…
If the layers are not contiguous hold down the control key (PC)
The Command key (Mac)
and click on each layer you want to select...
Then press all at one time
Mac (Command + Option + Shift + E)
To re-edit the Shadow/Highlights… youll need to delete the layer and repeat the process...
Enjoy! As Always holler if you have a question or comment
Editing smart objects from Camera Raw in Photoshop is next.
