Yay, another tutorial :D Now including 3 other examples of the technique, as all my tutorials will from now on~ This one was actually pretty simple to write, so I hope it's as simple to follow!

It looks beautiful. I'll add to memories. I do like the overall result.

Where can I see some of your work?

inquisitory June 21 2007, 05:03:21 UTC

Thanks! :D

Assuming you mean icons, those can also be found in this very community, tacticons. It's kinda dominated by tutorials these days, but scroll down and you'll find some! xD

I actually am more interested in tutorials. I guess I wanna learn to do icons for many reasons. So, I haven't looked that much yet, but I used that one you just posted and it works XD

Thanks

This tutorial is hot ♥ It translates fine with PSP8, minus the radical blur (which should be fine with PSP9 and up). I went back to PS for the blur, and here's what I got:

Yay, thanks for trying it out and telling me about the translatability, Seiyuuki! I love your result, the colours go so well together ♥ Glad you like the tut!

I found it easy to follow in PSP8 also, except for the "Color Balance... adjustment layer" and the "tinytext". I didn't know if I should create a new raster layer (which is transparent, and therefore, I would think, not susceptible to color balancing), or just apply it to the top layer. And when I tried to make small text, it just came out as a tiny line with not discernible dots, no matter how much I changed the kerning.

Oh, and I see I forgot to apply the texture. :P

The Color Balance should be on a drop-down menu and listed specifically as such. What it does is creates a transparent layer that adjusts the colour of your image. There are other ones too, like Hue/Saturation, which should be near the Color Balance option, if that helps at all ^^; Sorry, I've never used PSP.

If you're having trouble with tinytext, it could be one of two things: the resolution on your image is too high (72 dpi is the standard on icons), or the text size is too small. Maybe try 1.5 pt? It depends on the font, really~

Out of curiosity, could I see your result? :D
