Signature Sheet

Here's a lovely signature sheet that I made all by myself (no tutorial!!!).

Here are the original pictures:

Clipping Mask Text

The lovely text made from the photo sheet below.

Adjustment Layers

Here are examples of the many many adjustment layers.

Starting with the original.

Now,

Brightness/Contrast

Levels

Exposure

I feel like they all kind of look the same, so how about something different.

Vibrance

Color Balance

And...

Channel Mixer

I used adjustment layers on each one, the picture corresponds with the label above it. Each one was relatively simple to use if you know what each one is supposed to/able to do.


Here's a reference link which is very helpful for finding out which one can do what:

Quick Adjustment

And the ducks are back in full force! Just a little bit sleepy, that's all.

Here's the original underexposed picture.

I haven't done anything yet, but the male mallard's tail feathers look like they're glowing, weird.

Anyway, here's the same picture, but with a Shadow/Highlight adjustment. I didn't have to do much for this one, just adjust the shadows and highlights a little.

Tape

Here's some tape I made using Photoshop.

Here's a picture I found of a calico cat.

And here's the picture of the two combined.

For some reason I feel like this is a little boring... I'm going to try to come up with some more interesting stuff to add to this blog... Well, until then, enjoy!


Here's the lovely link to the tutorial if you want it, may your tape look more realistic than mine does!

Here are the original images that I used (really all the images I used).

Patch Tool

This is a picture with the Patch Tool applied.

Here's the original picture:

In case you can't tell, what was removed was the unwanted crane in the upper left. And no, I don't know why the colors are slightly different; it just turned out that way.

Healing Brush

Here's a picture of the a girl after I used the healing brush on her picture...

And here it is before.

I realize that most people put the before picture first, but I don't really care enough now to switch them.

Cloning a Grass Bike

Literally a grass bike.

Awww, isn't it cute?

I guess my next question is why? I mean, seriously, a grass bike? Really people? I thought everyone didn't like to get grass stains on their clothes, unless I missed something and grass stains became the new thing, which is explainable and I guess I could understand that. But, if that is not the reason, then why make a grass bike? Although, I truthfully think that it is a cool idea, but practical? No.

Anyway, if you want the tutorial to make your own mini-(whatever-you-want-to-make), here's the link:

Also, here's the original grass bike picture:

Demonic Bunny Retro Poster

This is a Retro Poster using a bunny that appears to be demonic. Sadly, I didn't come up with that idea, the blending mode caused the effect by itself.
