In this Photoshop tutorial you will see how to make an abstract effect that I would like to call the 3 glowing eggs.
1. Open a new document of any size and fill it with black, then place some random Lens Flares on the same Layer (Filters->Render->Lens Flare) 2. Apply Filter->Sketch->Chrome an use Detailes=3 and Smoothness=10
Create a new layer and fill with a blue (or other color) of your choice. Set layer to color mode and if you wish rotate your canvas 90 degrees.
9. Import the cat images by opening them up and using the move tool to move them onto your canvas. Turn them all off but the kitten on the blue background and click on the kitten layer.. Use the lasso tool with feather = 0 to select around this kitty. Click the "add Layer Mask" button on the bottom of the layers panel. Use the move tool to Position this kitten in the upper left heart so it looks like it is hanging out of it.
This is a very simple technique for creating those nice-looking abstract backgrounds you see everywhere these days. Start with a new document. I'm using 500px x 150px but any size will do.

Choose the photo that you want to make the Bricks Background Montage, try to find one with a solid color Background like ours, the effect will look much better and the process will be much easier.
Hello Photoshop people, today we are going to see how to change/optimize your photos background, this tutorial is for all your inside-photos, this mean that the photo that you want to use, MUST have a solid color Background, so let's begin.
Backgrounds with straight horizontal or vertical lines create a distinctive look, and like any form of textured background, provide relief from whatever is in the foreground. Lined backgrounds can be used to enhance artwork and are also useful on web sites. They can also be used to create video monitor or TV scan line effects. Luckily for us, they are quite easy to make in Photoshop. Here's what our finished background will look like:
This tutorial will demonstrate a quick and easy method to create really wild psychedelic backgrounds. Backgrounds like these would be extremely difficult to paint by hand, but there's a trick to doing them in Photoshop in a matter of seconds.
The number of Photoshop backgrounds that can be made is absolutely limitless. Never buy them; it's a waste of money. Don't bother downloading them free from the net, because it is so easy to make most of them yourself. Also, making your own Photoshop backgrounds is more fun and they can be highly personalized for your specific purpose. In addition, it increases knowledge of Photoshop?s facilities. If you are good with a brush or airbrush then there is another way to create your own backgrounds.
Premise for Photoshop Tutorial Series: You are a web designer at a small agency, and a client has called to request that you prepare a mock-up for a new home page for is company that sells gifts in Victoria. This Tutorial series was perfected and used in College Web Master classes by Author/Instructor Scott Frangos. Now you can build your Web Graphics skills in Photoshop, as you learn your way through this classroom tested series on preparing Art for the Web.
In this tutorial we'll create a background effect. We'll use no image or resources at all. Just some gradient and a couple of filters. That's it!
In this tutorial we'll create a hi-tech background using any image. It can be any image provided it has some colors in it. As we are going to change the image completely, it doesn't matter what the image subject is initially.
In this tutorial, we'll create a Christmas theme background with snow flakes that can be used for making e cards, a christmas web site content box or for that matter any holiday related stuff.
This photoshop tutorial will teach you to make use of blending options and brush to create a cool text effect on background image.
What if you've converted your Background layer to a normal layer and then decide you want it to be a Background layer again. Is there any way to convert it back? There sure is. With the bottom-most layer in the layer stack selected (this only works on the bottom layer in the layer stack, since Background layers must be at the bottom) just go up to the Layer Menu at the top of the screen, select "New" from the list of options under the Layer Menu, and then select "Background from Layer". Photoshop will convert the layer to a Background layer and rename it "Background", written in italics indicating that once again, it's "special".
In this Adobe Photoshop tutorial, we're going to learn how to use a photo as its own background, which is a great effect to use with wedding photography but can also be used with any image. We're going to be creating two copies of our photo, using one as our main image and the other as the background, which we'll be colorizing, flipping and fading into more of a watermark-style image.
In this Photoshop tutorial, we're going to learn how easy it is to turn any photo into an interesting background using a couple of basic selection tools in Photoshop that, quite honestly, seem to serve no other purpose other than helping us to create this effect. I'm talking about the Single Row Marquee Tool and the Single Column Marquee Tool, which by default are hiding behind the Rectangular Marquee Tool in the Tools palette. Even Adobe doesn't seem to consider them very useful, since they're two of only a handful of tools in the Tools palette that don't have a keyboard shortcut associated with them. Yet as we'll see in this tutorial, when it comes to creating simple backgrounds or wallpaper in Photoshop, these two selection tools are hard to beat.
In this Adobe Photoshop tutorial, we're going learn how to quickly and easily create a simple photo studio background in Photoshop which can then be used to make any portrait-style photo look as if it was taken in an actual photo studio, even if it was really taken in your office, your kitchen, your neighbor's backyard, or basically any place other than a photo studio. As with most Photoshop effects, this background works best when used with the right type of photo, so since we're trying to make it appear as if the photo was taken in a portrait studio, it helps if the person in the photo is dressed nicely, hair in place, and sitting in one of those completely unnatural portrait studio poses.
Select and merge all the layers except background layer. Duplicate the layer and move it to the top. Change the layer mode to "Soft Light".
Select the background layer. Duplicate and move this layer above all the layers in layer order in layer palette. Press Ctrl+T. Right Click and select Warp. Select "Fisheye" style from the preset warp shapes. Apply settings as shown.
Before we begin I'd just like to say that, since this is a random effect, you probably won't get the exact pattern that I obtained in my picture. But that's ok! There's plenty of randomness out there for everyone. I'm sure you'd much rather have something that's completely your own anyway, right? Also, you may want to create your Funky background on layers in the same .psd file as your text/graphic image. That's fine, but make sure your computer can handle the processing. You may end up with quite a few layers in one file; unless you merge your BG FX layers together. You'd do better to create this background first, then create your text/image on layers above it; so that your background images are on the bottom of the layers palette. I will be giving these instructions as if you were creating your background as a new picture, by itself. It can then be dragged into another image with less hassle.
What a great website! Just this morning I was trying to change the background of a photo. This is a resource I will definitely come back to.

- Start with a new document. (Choose a large preset for a better effect.) - Dark backgrounds work best, so I used Black. - Hit the 'X' key on the keyboard to set the foreground color to White. - Then select the 'Brush Tool (B)' tool, and with a medium size tip (I used tip size of 5) just click and draw a few lines in a diagonal direction, as I have captured.

Well im looking for a really good and really really awsome default backgrounds because alot of other websites don't have any and im really hoping that this one works!
This tutorial will show you how to extract something in a photo from its background and put it onto another background. Now this is a fairly simple technique which some may see as being a bit boring - but to liven things up a bit Ive chosen a picture which will put a little smile on your face (if you a guy anyway). Ok, lets begin. Here is my photo: See I knew you would like it... Anyway, for this tutorial the main thing you will be using is the Magic Wand Tool. So select that when youve got your image opened up. At the top you should see a setting which is the tolerance. This sets how much of the image to grab depending on how similar nearby colours are. For this photo I am using 30 however you may neet to change depending on the lighting in your image. Now simply click on the background of your image and press delete on your keyboard. Just keep repeating that until all of your background has gone to white. You may need to alter your Tolerance setting for some parts if the colours arent that different. Heres my image with no background: Now we need to add in our new background. Simply find an image. Im using a photo of a sunset with some trees in the background. Now copy and paste your background image into the Photoshop document. Now just make sure that the background layer is behind (below) the layer with your object/person on it. And thats it. Heres my final result: As you can see this can be used to create some very nice wallpapers.
This tutorial will show you how to design backgrounds with ease of future adjustments in mind. Applying these techniques in your designs will make color adjustments a breeze, sizing/scaling changes in your background incredibly easy, and give you unprecedented control over how your background looks with very little effort involved.
When it comes to removing background in photoshop, there are several different paths you can take (as always) to get to the same destination. We will be using the standard Eraser Tool in this tutorial. The Background_Eraser Tool is also very handy for this.
1. Create a new document (640*480). 2. Fill the background with #000000 using the paint bucket tool and create 3 different 50-300mm lens flares (filter - render - lens flare - 50-300mm) and place them on your black background like this.
This tutorial will show you how to create a simple background that repeat horizontal using Adobe Photoshop. These backgrounds are effectively used in non-fluid designs to give fluid like look, even though the actual size of the page content stays the same.
NO - DEFINITELY MAY NOT! I don't mind, of course, any form of back link to Digital Photo News tutorials section, but taking any one of the tutorials whole and supplanting it on your website is theft. If you really like the tutorials and want to advertise them, why not just hyperlink directly to their URL? Is it possible to submit some of my own tutorials?
Now, just to be sure the sky is completely black we apply once again a layer adjustment. Much milder this time, just to be sure that we are not going to select anything from the background. In order to have also a softer selection we are going to apply to this mask a Gaussian Blur Filter: Go to Filter->Blur->Gaussian Blur and set the radius to 0.8 pixels.
The idea isn't to see how you could fit this into your work, the idea is to introduce new techniques and ideas that you might be able to introduce into your skill set. Think outside the box grasshopper.
1. First of open photoshop and make a new document. For now we dont need to worry about the resolution cause we'll fix the outcome at the end. In my case (as I'm using a widescreen) I usually use 1680�1050 pixels when creating backgrounds or wallpapers.

STEAMPUNK IS A subgenre of fantasy and science fiction, which has been realised in book (The Difference Engine, The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen), film (Wild Wild West, Back To The Future Part III) and videogames (Crimson Skies, Skies Of Arcadia, Syberia), and has even inspired artists and engineers to create steampunk-inspired pseudo-Victorian works. Here we set out to capture the magic of steampunk by creating a rich and textured graphic style using various steam-driven and mechanical objects such as piston engines, piping, clocks and meter faces. You'll learn how to engineer a Victorian-inspired interface and generate your own steam from the comfort of your computer chair. Using Photoshop's basic tools in creative ways, it is possible to bring that dream to the screen without having to know the software inside out. We'll take you through such tools and techniques as applying effective gradients, blending modes, basic drawing, the Smudge tool, the Warp tool and others that won't cause your cerebral cortex to implode.

7. As explained in step 6, use the Brush and work as shown below. You can set different foreground color and set different sizes.
After using this simple 'Blend If' knockout effect, you will proably realize that using any other of the 'Layer Styles' still only applies to the document as if the knockout has never occurred. As captured below, I tried applying an 'Inner Shadow', to the chair object but it was applied to the entire document boundary.
[1]- First of all take any new image.
2. Go to Filter -> Noise -> Add Noise and set the value around 30%.

But if you want a large object to be your focus, and if you don't have high-tech-high-specs camera, Photoshop can do the trick. All we need to do is just diffuse the background to emphasize your subject to be your main focus. This will create a dreamy effect. Here's how to:
1. Duplicate the layer by pressing "Ctrl+J".

Step 2: At this point, I had effectively removed all color information in my image, but I wanted to retain the colors in my foreground. So, I made another copy of my background image and used the Layer Mask Tool to mask out the background. Here, I did not have to be overly accurate in my masking strokes. Luckily, the subject's hair is black; thus, any desaturated hair strands didn't diminish the overall effect. Additionally, I adjusted my Brightness and Contrast settings to enhance the colors. To adjust Brightness and Contrast, go to Image in your top menu, select Adjustments, and click Brightness/Contrast (Image�Adjusments�Brightness/Contrast).
@thegroovychannel ~ Thanks for tweeting us! Glad you found the project source files useful!
On the tools palette, change to Quick Mask mode by clicking the icon marked with a red circle. Nothing visible happens, but in this mode, you can use a properly configured brush to mask out the areas you want to leave sharp. Later changes will not affect the masked areas.Change to the Brush tool (press B), select a mid-sized brush (we have used a 45-pixel one), and carefully cover the areas you want to leave unchanged. By default, covered areas display with a red veil. This won't affect the picture directly, only signals Photoshop which areas are not to be touched.
Hit Q to exit Quick Mask mode or click the icon in the toolbox.
1. First of all, we need a cool brush set. Google for it! After you downloaded the brushes you need to place them in right folder. Go to Adobe instal map (Mostly you will fint it in C:/Program Files/adobe). Double click on the adobe map, go to Adobe Photoshop CS2 (Or another version, depending on wich one you use), than Presets/Brushes and copy the downloaded ABR files in there.

After selecting the Clone Stamp Tool you need to choose a sample area in the image. Hold the alt button, (or option on mac) and a crosshair will appear, you then need to click in an area away from the seems preferrably in the lower left or lower right area. After clicking you can release the alt/option button and your brush will appear again. You can at this time use the clone stamp tool just like you would a brush and draw over the seams. As you drag the mouse over your seams you will see that is has cloned the portion of the image you just sampled. Here's a video on Youtube that outlines how exactly the Clone Stamp works in detail:
I started by creating a new 100�100 pixel image with a white background. It will help a lot if you have the grid showing (View > Show > Grid). By default, my grid view was set to have a gridline every 1 inch. Therefore, I changed it to have a gridline every 10 pixels (Edit > Preferences > Guides, Grid, & Slices). I also zoomed the image to make things a bit easier.
Today I will show you a simple �effect in Photoshop that will result in a great background. You will need a good quality photo with good colors and of course a version of Photoshop.
From filter menu select "Distort>>Diffuse Glow". Apply settings as shown.

This is one of my favorite tricks in Photoshop. I always thought that making a good tiling background would be very difficult, boy was I wrong. This is a great technique for creating backgrounds for you web site of for creating images for you desktop. Photoshop allows you to create tiling backgrounds very easily and it's all because of a filter called offset. You can find it in your filters menu under other. What the offset filter does is take your image and cut it into four quarters, then it moves the pieces around so that what was once in the middle of the picture is now on the edges, hence making everything line up. OK, so my explanation probably confused you more than you already were but once you see it in action you will understand what I'm saying. So with that lets get started!!
The Background Eraser Tool (again, hold down the Eraser tool to access this option) is meant to be used along the edges of an object. The center of the brush determines which similar colors to erase. The Background Eraser Tool will also change the edges of an object slightly so that you don't get a "color halo." We'll use the Background Eraser Tool to isolate and define the edges of the object, then erase the other pixels on the "outside."
1. To begin, find the image with an object you would like to stand out by removing the background. (Click here for the original photo.)
3 . Play with the Lightning Effects Filter (>Filters>Render>Lightning Effects).

In my example, I'm using my little dog Penny. The background is not uniform, as backgrounds seldom are, and the contrast is not very great between the dog and the couch.
