The secrets on how to make artwork of the Sam/Jack ship family thread

[Devilish Me]

I wuv selective coloring. Rarely make something without it.

Great siggie Amanda


Jumble - The drop down menu gives you the option to choose what color you wanna work with, which is why it's called selective coloring. If you choose red from the menu, when you move the sliders it will only affect the red color in the original pic. The same goes for the yellows, blues, blacks... etc. If the original pic doesn't have any green in it, moving those sliders won't change anything. Hope that explains it.

I've noticed! Every time I try to put those numbers you give us into something else (don't ask me where ) and of course it doesn't turn out as you said it should look like.

This is great.

[Jumble]

Thanks!


Yes...like less than a day...

Ah, see now it makes sense I'd sort of started to think along those line, but I was still getting frustrated not knowing details.

Thanks

Now I just need to make something without following a tut

Yes! That's the one, thanks! *hugs* That was the reason I wanted to learn photoshop in the first place because there were so many icon tuts for it Hopefully I'll be able to learn something from them

This is great.

Where else can you put those numbers?

When it comes to selective coloring you can't follow a tut exactly. If the original pics are different the result will be different. Part of the learning process is adapting the tuts to work for your pics.

You know me... I live to serve help.

Thanks Jas!

So I tried a tut from Luciana from a while ago, and I made this

Edit- Jumble do you happen to have that link to the one Live journal page that had a MASSIVE amount of tuts for icons? I think most of them were for photoshop *is really starting to like photoshop now*

Yeah it's a Bones sig!!! Wicked cool!

OMG that's so cool! There are some great artists on GW and Luci's one of them. You'll learn loads from her tuts.

The thing I don't understand is what exactly the sliders for the different colours in the drop-down menu actually do. I've tried tuts that give all the number settings, but I usually find that they don't work on different pics

Like I said, I've started experimenting, sometimes nothing happens at all, sometimes things change weirdly. Mainly because I don't know how they work

i was going to explain but Jas already did just to add: the red color may cancel the yellow sometimes then use the red with more attention

[Padme18]

You've done that after just a couple of days on PS ???? *faints*

Any chance of a link to that tut?

I'd have to agree. I've been working with PS for almost a year and I still don't know how half the dodads work.

I wuv selective coloring. Rarely make something without it.

So that's what it's for!

Yay! Another Bones fan!

[TrueRomantic]

Bones fans are awesome!!!!!

Also, I made another LotS wallie...


I think I might, maybe, be getting better at making wallies!!!

[AmberMoon]

Yay! Another Bones fan!

Big time. I <3 that show! I discovered it just before the 4th season ended. The chemistry between the two actors/characters is sizzling!

I've only made a few icons from the show. Here are a few...

I have some others made but they were for Regularamanda's bb_everyday lj icontest. I really need to make some more.

End of 4th season?!?! You poor thing!!! I've watched since the very first episode. But at least you've found it now. And yes, they have fantastic chemistry.

And that art is great!

Thanks! I saw that tut and new it would so fit for her
