#edit tut

hii  angles,  i  recently  got  an  ask  on  my  [  screencap  account  ]  asking  for  a  tutorial  for  my  moving  grain  pictures  that  i  use  for  almost  everything.  this  is  my  first  tutorial,  so  i  hope  it's  clear!  i  use  PHOTOPEA  to  edit,  but  i'm  guessing  for  photoshop  users  it  may  be  the  same.  this  may  also  be  a  long  way  around  it,  but  it  works  efficient  enough  for  me  :)

HOW TO MAKE GLOWY WATERMARKS:

Make your text, type it, decorate it etc.

Go to the text layer and right click 

Select "Blending Options"

Click "Outer Glow"

its very easy.

go download your font

find where your downloaded font file is

open your font folder in the control panel

drag your downloaded font file to the opened font folder

open photoshop and select the type tool

find your downloaded font in the drop down menu above

select the best font size (mostly 10pt, 9pt or 8pt for pixel fonts)

Choose two different pics that you want to put next to each other.

Put each pic on a diff photoshop document

On the picture that you want to come first, go to Image > Canvas Size > change the measurements to pixels

Put in the width of the canvas an estimation of how wide your pictures will be once next to eachother.

Click ok

In your toolbar, click on the cursor at the top 

Drag your first pic to the very left end of the canvas 

Go to your 2nd photoshop document.

Click Select > All

Press Ctrl + C

go to your first photoshop document and press Ctrl + V to paste the second pic

With your cursor, move it as desired. If you want to move the first pic, click Layer 1 (each new thing you paste will be a new layer)

After you have decided their positions, go to Layer > Flatten Image

Then edit as you would like :3

Simple edit tutorial by hobakjeon

step #10 here (i could only post 9 pics as a photoset > 3 < )

topaz denoise download and tutorial here

I am using Photoshop CS5 which you can download here.

NOTE!: Please do not use this tutorial for bad reasons such as putting watermarks on things that you did not edit/are not yours. This tutorial is a resource for editors/photographers and not for stealers. Thank you !

1. First, finish up your edit (sharpen, etc.)

2. Choose a font that you would like to use. Pixel fonts are great, but doesn't matter.

3. Click on the Type tool (should be at the bottom of your tool bar)

4. Make a box where you want your watermark. Then type whatever you would like.

5. Now go to look up and find a box that has a color in it (this is the color of your text) Change the color to a dark gray but make sure it's not too light or dark.

6. Click on your type layer. Find the drop down box that says "normal".

7. Click on the drop down box and choose "Vivid Light".

8. OPTIONAL. You can change the opacity of your watermark. If you want to do so, make sure to change the Fill Opacity (its the drop down box right underneath the opacity one in the layers window)

9. Go to Layer » Flatten Image

10. Go to File » Save As

11. Save as a PNG

12. YOU'RE DONEE. Your watermark will now blend with your picture wherever you place it !

Hello! ~ This is my first tutorial and it'll show you how to just simply edit. This tutorial is not set, so you can change the settings to whatever suits your picture. I used Photoshop CS5 for this tut and you can download CS2,3,4, and 5 here.

1. First, pick out a picture and prep it (crop it etc.) You don't have to save the picture you want, just copy your screen (ctrl + alt + prtsc) and paste it then crop it. I am using the picture below:

2. Go to Image » Adjustments » Curves. (You can use Auto Tone and Auto Contrast if you want, but they usually work best with pictures that are not dark nor light but in the middle)

3. When you get to Curves, make three points. One in the middle, top and bottom of the line. The top point will make the light parts of your picture lighter or darker depending on where you move it. This also applies to the bottom point (but the bottom point changes the dark parts) The middle point will change your whole picture, not just parts of it. 

4. Go to Image » Adjustments » Levels (if you can't find it refer to step 2's pic)

5. When the Levels window pops up, you will see a total of five arrows. Levels will also lighten/darken your picture.

6. Go to Image » Adjustments » Brightness/Contrast (if you can't find it refer to step 2's pic)

7. In Brightness/Contrast, you change the contrast and brightness of your picture.

8. Go to Image » Adjustments » Vibrance (if you can't find it refer to step 2's pic)

9. Vibrance will change how colorful your picture is. Vibrance is like a less powerful version of saturation and goes easy on your picture. Saturation is more powerful and has more effect. I put no more than +10 saturation.

10. Go to Image » Adjustments » Hue/Saturation

11. In Hue/Saturation i only use the Lightness part, i don't use hue a lot and i already used saturation in vibrance. The lightness part is pretty self-explainable.

12. Go to Image » Adjustments » Color Balance

13. In Color Balance, i usually add more red, green and yellow. That option makes your picture more balanced.

14. Go to Image » Adjustments » Selective Color

15. Ahh, I love selective color. Selective Color changes the colors on your pic. You can choose which color you can adjust. If you want to adjust more than one color, don't click OK and just choose another color from the drop down. I usually add more cyan, magenta and yellow but less black to just start off and it adjusts the model's hair color (if you have a model in your picture)

16. Go to Filter » Sharpen » Sharpen (sharpening makes your picture look more HD)

17. Go to Layer » Flatten Image

18. Go to File » Save As

19. Save your image as a PNG
