My Experiment with...

Will do golou...just gimme a few days =)

FEW more days? :sigh karnay wala icon: :-(


abb meri shaam hay aur shughal-e-sharaab 'o saaghar,
abb meri raat hay aur gosha-e-mekhana hay,
peetay peetay hi soorat kuch aur karni hay,
aur jeetay jeetay isee andaaz say marr jana hay..

Confused, I had created a rainbow background in Photoshop and then I did the adaba kadabra you had taught us in this thread. Then I wanted to put my pic without the white background. Also, the quality of the pic is not similar to what I had created in the .psd format. So any suggestion.

Another question, how could you emboss a pic on an exisiting layer of another pic. so you see one pic but u see the second pic embossed text you had taught earlier.

Thanks in advance.

Good stuff, khan_sahib. I liked the rainbow effect

I don’t think its possible for jpeg/gif quality to be as high as the .psd one (coz they are both compressed versions). But you can certainly change it to an extent—> when you ‘save a copy’ as a jpeg—> the program asks you what quality level you would like (ranges from 0 to 12) Try the highest quality (level 12) You can keep trying diff levels to get a good bal between quality and image size. Does this help?!

I don’t think I understood your second question. Golou might help :slight_smile:

Ok here’s a fish montage…kinda sums me up well

so when are we getting a new lesson?

Kaisa

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/biggrin.gif

Now, let us know how to emboss a picture using different picture. Like the one you had done with Minar-e-Pakistan

http://www.gupistan.com/gallery/4/morelikethis2.jpg

Btw, I just noticed my guppie face which you had taken has more description of borders. Is there anything more than just HIGHLIGHT picture COPY and PASTE to your main picture?

Also, I have Phothop 5.0 and 6.0 but not the darmyan wala so the lesson you gave earlier in this thread for render layer. I don't have that option in 5.0 or 6.0. Also, the 2nd lesson I can do it upto PASTE INTO but after that I don't get the REMOVE LAYER so I tried DISCARD LAYER in 6.0 but invain. Any suggestion?

ohooo.. forget the meenaar-e-pakistan one for this moment.. it was.. hmmm .. nothing

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/biggrin.gif

basically in THAT effect, i had used a 1% fill, (NOT visible to human eye OR the monitors we use, but logically its there).. so computer can SENSE it.. then i had used a blurring effect, then sharpened it, then made it in a FOURTH channel, (instead of normal RGB channels i had used an ALPHA channel, black’n white that is) and then .. oh mannn

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/pagal.gif

.. i wont know how to explain the meenaar-e-pakistan.. basically it wasnt even a picture but a
“HIYOLA” ← urdu word = shadow type thing..


abb meri shaam hay aur shughal-e-sharaab 'o saaghar,
abb meri raat hay aur gosha-e-mekhana hay,
peetay peetay hi soorat kuch aur karni hay,
aur jeetay jeetay isee andaaz say marr jana hay..

so .. let me check .. khan bhai u r asking for THIS kind of effect: that a picture is popping outta background:

http://www.gupistan.com/gallery/4/khan2.jpg

cuz if its other way around, that a PICTURE popping out like the INVISIBLE text did, then for GUPPY face atleast its gonna be ugly effect..

but if u r thinking of meenaar-e-pakistan side, what in THEORY i did was:

took a meenaar , SELECTED it, highlighted the BACKGROUND (where the montage was sitting), and then filled it up with (EDIT > FILL) a 1% shade of ANY foreground/background color in the pallet, and THEN applied a black and a white shadow at APPROPRIATE places.. this way it LOOKED like its embossing FROM the layer of colorful surface.. (its a MORE towards an ILLUSION kinda thing than a REAL effect) …


abb meri shaam hay aur shughal-e-sharaab 'o saaghar,
abb meri raat hay aur gosha-e-mekhana hay,
peetay peetay hi soorat kuch aur karni hay,
aur jeetay jeetay isee andaaz say marr jana hay..

Qrius, the new lessons are here now…I am sure there’s a lot to learn. I recently saw some amazing professional work done in Photoshop. It seems it will take ages to get that far. Thankfully, we have got a good expert amongst us.
