Photoshop Friday! 2007, Issue 7

Hi There!

Time for another live chat Photoshop Friday! Join me in the chat room at DesignerDigitals tonight at 10 p.m. EST, where we’ll be learning to make overlays from just about any patterned paper. It’s a pretty cool techinque, and opens up a ton of possibilities. I also used this technique on this layout from 2 weeks ago - if you look at the full-size version, you can see the type all around the edges. That was made from a patterned paper as well. So awesome.

Here is the layout for tonight:

See the grungy words all around the edges of the layout? That was made from this (it’s a sample):

At tonight’s chat you’ll receive this paper as part of your freebie kit that Katie will give you the link for when you join the chat, so you can follow along with the exact paper I used. Hopefully I’ll see you there tonight at 10 pm EST. :)

And I get that some people might have a life. Might have places to go, and fun things to do on a Friday night (although, honestly, WHAT could be more fun than a bunch of scrapbookers squashed in a chat room laughing and chatting about Photoshop? I can’t imagine), so as always, if you can’t make it to the chat,  I’ll be posting the instructions for this technique tomorrow morning.

 Have a great Photoshop Friday! :D

Hi Jessica,

it would indeed be nice to post the instructions. Don't know if I have anything better to do on a Friday evening but actually over here it will be 4am when the chat starts and at that moment, I'll be sound asleep :-)

Thanks Jessica!

Hi, Jessica,
I asked you the question about gradient masks last night at the chat. I found out today that I wasn't choosing foreground to TRANSPARENT & so was canceling out being able to apply multiple gradients to that single mask. DUH!
(And, by the way, I absolutely LOVE it when you "hack" PSE, as you referred to it at the chat.)

I learned so many new things from this single lesson. I also really appreciate your PSF index. Came in handy when I was trying to convert my photo to sepia.
Here's the LO I did.

So I was printing out the most recent PSF when I realized, duh, I should link up what I've done using these. I'm pretty sure you say that you'd like to see them every time, but I suppose I was having a long-term blonde moment (and I really am a natural blonde, so I'm allowed!). :)
