photoshop program help

[AnthonyF]

I was gonna buy the program outright but i got the 30 day trial first. I am tinkering with it for now. Are there any good sites that actually show step by step on some basic functions? thanks in advance.

do you want to buy the program or do you want to skip the buying part?

[AnthonyF]

i mainly want to buy it so my comp doesnt get f'd up and I have directions on how to use the program. I am messing with it now and have NO idea what the hell i am doing.

tyrin to do basics. Apply this MK decal to my template for a grip. Just trying to figure basic stuff 1stv

[Spektrewing386]

What I would do, im not expert nor have i read much tutorials or documentation...

What you can do is copy the MK image... then use magic tool and select the inside of the grip... then paste the MK onto the image. It should automatically make the MK image the 2nd layer and have it within the boundrys of the grip. You can also fill the grip with black to go with the background of the MK image (use the color selection tool if the straight up 0 0 0 RGB black doesnt match the MK image black).


Also if your trying to do something and its being weird.... you are probably on a different layer without realizing it.

Also, go to google.video.com or youtube same ****, and type in photoshop tuts there are alot of videos too.

Pslover.com has alot of tuts. Search around, on the internet alot of stuff is EXTREMELY easy to find

Since Im bored

Step#1 Drag Image over the grip outline. Center it how you would like it to be cropped.

Step#2 once you hace it over the grip, turn the image of. You'll only be able to see the grip outline. You can either use the Magic Wand Tool (M) Select the white are, it should do it pretty well since the contrast black and white make. Make sure that layer is not set as background(locked) if it is just double click that layer and hit ok. Now once you have only the outline, truly just the online.

Step#3 Hit CTR+The farthest part left of that layer under the Layer tool bar. It should automatically outline it for you.

Step#4 Now hit CTR+SHIFT+I, This will highlight all of the outside.now hit delete and bam. Your image should sit nicely in the templete you have.

Pm me if you need any more help, or need somethign explained. :cheers:

Ant if you want me to hang with you for an afternoon and show you how to do stuff then I'm more than happy to.

Also, if you're going to be using it for decals and such, you should look into getting Illustrator or creative suite.

Also also, if you really wanna buy it, I can let you go through my SCAD account and buy the entire Creative Suite for like $500 (instead of the $1600 that Adobe wants for it). SCAD students get a ridiculous discount on graphic programs.

Or if you don't wanna pay for it I can get it for you lol.

PM me if you want me to teach you the basics and stuff you need to know. :D

and PS.. that MK logo on the grip would be a TON easier in illustrator, and it would cut you a vector image instead of a raster... vector images don't distort or pixelize with resizing

[AnthonyF]
