http://refont.com/show.php?get=1&font=new_1 (http://refont.com/show.php?get=1&font=new_1)

After you download the font, extract it from the archive and put it somewhere. Read the name, copy and paste to: C:\Windows\Fonts

Good luck.

Anyway, this isn't really a tutorial, more a demo on how I made a sig a year ago.

Photoshop Smudge Tutorial / Demo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxNzYumxLqU#)

So yeah.

Post by: Joey_DeRossi on February 22, 2010, 07:17:51 pm: I have a question.

I am more of a Access and Excel type of guy (part times for some income) and I would like to be also able to work with photoshop - the question is: Do you require a large amount of creativity in Photoshop?
Title: Re: Photoshop - tips and advice
Post by: cDa on February 22, 2010, 07:28:58 pm: ofc creativity is a must have :)

you have to imagine what are you planing to do.. but lots of times just messing arround gives nice results
Title: Re: Photoshop - tips and advice
Post by: dtlove on February 22, 2010, 08:51:39 pm: Yeah, Creativity helps, unless you got a good sense of design.

As MyleS told me, "let your hands and Mind work together, be creative, play around a little."

Also, think of something and try it. If it doesnt come out good, do it again. :)

Somethings that are really good to do, making good lines and stuff, search on google or whatever, for Photoshop C4D's and you'll fnd 3D abstract stuff that are really good for making things like this:

And, another thing, if you search and find smething called Topaz. Its a great plug-in for Photoshop. It gives great blur effects and other things. Just look for Topaz Vivacty...and yeah.

Also, to make the things look better, Use different types of blending modes on whatever, and it'll make a picture really pop.
