                   While I was surfing the net, I saw different kinds of pictures in Google, each has its own effects, what I attracted most is a picture with somewhat have a CARPET EFFECT. Yes, the texture is like a carpet that we've almost seen in our houses. When you think of a carpet effect, it sounds like it is natural or common, but if you look at it closer you will notice that the image that is done is like a real one. The image you've seen above is a tiger with carpet effect, I modified it using PHOTOSHOP, you can also do it with other pictures like yourselves. As you can see, the carpet effect provides a 3D effect, it sharpens every detail of the image. Go to Photoshop, explore it and be amazed with its magic...

PHOTOSHOP CANDY TEXTURES



                    In PHOTOHOP, it is not just the pictures or images can be manipulated but also in designing letters or the so called LETTERING. The lettering you see above is my name, I design it by my own, you can see that instead of using a usual brush tool, I used candies as the main texture of the text or letters thus making it unique and new from the eyes of other. You can also used anything that you wanted as your texture, it depends on your taste. I used candies because for me it looks so sweet and tasty and offcourse colorful. Used your mind and be creative in doing this, explore and have fun with PHOTOSHOP...

PHOTOSHOP :   CARICATURES

               When I was young, I loved to draw many things such as the surroundings around me, it may include the environment, our house, pets and many other lovely things. Once I remember that I sketch or draw myself, my so-called CARICATURE sometimes in my elementary days, the picture that I draw is not that really good because i am still young that time and I admit that I don't have the talent to draw....

                          As time passes by, and now that i am in my College Year, I realize that drawing or sketching to someone with some funny stuff addition is very easy and enjoyable. All you have to do is have a seat in front of your computer and just open the PHOTOSHOP Software, and it all begins there, you are now ready to do or make your own CARICATURE.


CARICATURES that I make offcourse I know them,





                               
                                 With your creative mind and with the help of Adobe Photoshop you can now create your own CARICATURE. I find it very funny and entertaining because you can manipulate your caricature by your own with just a click on your mouse and proper execution you may now look like your favorite celebrity.

Compositing an Image in PHOTOSHOP


       Everything we saw have shapes isn't it? the mountains have triangular or cone shape, our houses have rectangular shape, wheels have circular shape. Even our body, there are some who have coke sakto shape, others have family size shape and many other kinds of shapes. If we combined all of this we can produce a quality image or pictures. In PHOTOSHOP we can produced an image by the used of shapes with proper combinations and procedures.


   

   The image in the left is a combination of circles and lines. And we all know that this character is DORAEMON a famous cartoon character in television. I choose Doraemon because of its circular shape and for that it is easy to manipulate and create. Through PHOTOSHOP i create this image step by step, or layers by layers. In Photoshop we will work on the layers not by the image itself.



   
     In compositing an image, it is a work of combining an image in a single picture to produce a better images. The combination of pictures will take place through every other layers to prevent errors and for proper composition. I used the Eliptical Marquee Tool to create circles and the Pencil Tool for single lines. I also used the Paint Bucket Tool to fill colors inside the shapes and the Gradient Tool for better colors. The Type Tool for Text purposes and the rest settings will depends on you and your creativity. 



      Now we learned how to create an image step by step through layers. We start on a blank images, from scrapped to a finished Doraemon character. Although the image is not that really perfect but the most important is, the thought  is in there, we can distinguish that it is a cartoon character. As a beginner we have to improve ourselves in order to produce great images. We just need to practice to enhance our creativity with PHOTOSHOP.

Make-Up in Photoshop

  In many cases, people used powders, creams, lipsticks and many other beauty enhancing products to make their face more beautiful and attractive, but sometimes there is situation wherein you are not ready to be taken by a camera like when your friends taking some pictures, you might be worry that yourself is not ready for a picture taking and you are so shy when the camera focuses on you. But as today, there is a solution, no more worries because PHOTOSHOP have the power to enhance your image through its digital MAKE-UP.


Before:



  The image on the left side is a picture of a woman that I've got on the internet.  You can see that there is still visible blemishes on her skin, and although she has make-up the effect is not that really convincing because of little foundation she applied.  We will try Photoshop to enhance this image and apply it with appropriate make-up.






                                              After:

  The image on the right side is a result of digital make-up through Photoshop. You can see now the improvement on the image before, much clearer skin and convincing make-up. I used the Brush Tool, for better emphasis on the Lips, Eye Brows, Eye Liner, Eye Lid and for the Blush-on effect, I also used the Smudge Tool, to deepen and spread the effect of the Brush Tool and last the Erase Tool, to remove inappropriate contents. Settings may vary as you liked.



   Now, there is no reason to be worried in taking pictures. Photoshop can give you options to enhance your image. Even though you don't have make-up, You can now have it by the used of PHOTOSHOP.
