Creating With Photoshop!

Check out Oleg's work...... especially the video of him working. Notice how he explores the use of visual TEXTURES and changing VALUE and COLOR in his images.

Interesting creative use of Photoshop, eh?

Gradient Tool Effects!

The gradient tool is great for lighting effects.... like light beams.....

Here's one way to make them...

First, the tool and it's control panel....

Make a selection in the shape you want the beam.....


Fill the selection with a gradient (gradient is solid color to transparent!)


Change the LAYER MODE for the beam to OVERLAY, or SCREEN to make it glow!

Which beam is the fake?

New Tools To Learn....

Clone Stamp Tool- Lets you "target" an area of pixels and "stamp" them onto the layer. Useful if you want to connect two images edges that just don't match up.....

• Hold the "option key" to target
• Use a blurry brush shape
• Use a low "flow" rate
• Avoid any noticeable patterns, by constantly targeting new pixels

Use this image to practice....

Do this too it!!!
