BBQBEEFBURGERMAN's PHOTOSHOP SCHOOL #1

[BBQBEEFBURGERMAN]

Today on BBQBEEFBURGERMAN's PHOTOSHOP SCHOOL we learn how to attach pictures together.
When you know that you know everything about photoshop!!

It does sorta help if you know the basics. I also use photoshop 7.0 with finnish languane so fuck you and your CS29478 PHOTOSHOPS AND ENGLISH LANGUANE!


STEP ONE
Choose pictures you want to use.
Choose pictures that you could imagine fitting together. You know. Perspective and shit.

Im gonna make pineapple clock so heres the pictures ill use:

STEP TWO
Open a new document, paste both of pictures in.
Then use the magic wand thingy to cut the pictures out of their backgrounds. Of course if your picture is a tricky one you can use magnetic lasso or if super duper tricky pic the polygon lasso:

STEP THREE
Now resize the stuff however you wish and put them into places you want them to be in:

STEP FOUR
Choose this shading tool thingy by clickin it with right mouse button and go to the pineapple layer (or whatever the shit youre using):

STEP FIVE
This gimmick right here sets the shadings darkness:
http://www.clockcrew.cc/talk/pix/206846c43bbb5d097.jpg
You go ahead and set it to how dark you want. Then choose a proper brush size and start whipping some shadings in. You know around the clock face and some shit:

Then choose the other shading tool which instead of darkening the picture, lights it up:
http://www.clockcrew.cc/talk/pix/206846c43b77720a7.jpg

Then wave it around a bit and shits.
It also has the same gimmick that sets the power of dat tool:

Now go to the clockface layer and do the same stuff all over again but with the clockface:
http://www.clockcrew.cc/talk/pix/206846c43f9e0bf28.jpg


Now you can just stop here or start messing with the colors!


STEP SIX
Now if you feel like your pic is done press CTRL + E. That merges the layers to one layer. Then press Control + U to open the saturation hue shit menu and lower the fullness of the color:

Then press Control + B and throw those color thingys around as you wish. Im going with a orange-ish color:
http://www.clockcrew.cc/talk/pix/206846c441bfcfc91.jpg

And now go to (Something like this. I still have the finnish version.)
Image > Adjustment > Selective color:
http://www.clockcrew.cc/talk/pix/206846c441c00b7ca.jpg

And start adjusting the colors. Just go by what you think looks good:
http://www.clockcrew.cc/talk/pix/206846c441c039dd3.jpg

Theres a whole bunch of colors to adjust:

Then if your picture isnt very sharp looking use the sharpening filter (Something like filter > sharpening >:
http://www.clockcrew.cc/talk/pix/206846c443d74d0ed.jpg
Or the manual brush sharpening tool:

TADA! YOURE DONE! YOU HAVE PINEAPPLE CLOCK!!

This one turned out to be maybe a tad too yellow-ish but wutever.

May seem like a big job but once you do it few times you can do it in 5 minutes.

THATS ALL FOR NOW KIDZ!

[BBQBEEFBURGERMAN]

Yes that looks rather good too!
Perhaps some more shading under the clockface.

Dunno. Just get em photoshops.

Yeah except sepia wont fix your blacks, whites, reds, and shits just the way you want em. This way also you can do your images GREEN-ish or BLUE-ish or EVEN GODDAMN RED-ISH if you feel like it.

Put this in the clockopedia man.

Nobody reads clockopedia lulululu

I tried

Looks allright. The fluxcapacitor image you used isnt just the best one evurz.

I did it!

Its too blurry and since your clock is such an narrow object you should cut the neck off or have a bigger anchor:

First attempt

Oh yeash totally!
Thats one mean bananabeefburgerman!

[SpinningCubeClock]

I think I did what you said. I skipped a few steps and made it B&W.

[BBQBEEFBURGERMAN]

[KinderEggClock]

I'm colour blind so the colouring part was hard... But!

[BBQBEEFBURGERMAN]
