Hi i have been using photoshop for a long time. When i feel like it sometimes i teach noobs how to use it so if you want to learn read these.

okay you want to make some flaming text for like that sig on your mario forum alright. here is how: First you make a new picture okay, maybe about 400 big. Use the typing tool and choose a cool font, not like boring impact and MAKE IT BIG AND RED.
to see the cool flames you need to make the background really dark so make your color black and just do the paint bucket on the outside like this:
now it is ready for some flames so you want to really show that it is hot and the flames are going up so you make a copy of the layer and do a motion blur on it like this:
Change the OpraCity a little if you know how to and then you have to make smoke because wehre there is fire there is smoke so just get the brush tool and make some lines like this:
I don’t have a drawing tablet thing or it would look better but it is good enough to use alright.
Metal (chrome or maybe almuninmum)
so you start with the same image last time but choose a different font cause that last one kinda sucked. it is important to make the the words GRAY this time because metal is gray. I used a future looking font because they use metal in the future:
So it already looks good but sometimes you need to spend more time to be a phtoshop god so make another layer on top and use the gradiyint tool with the chromy colors like this:
okay i forgot how to make it just on the letters so you have to make it sort of transparint and then erase around them alright like this:
you have to make the back black too but i forgot before so do it now:
okay it is almost done but you know the letters need to look 3D so to do that you just have to follow this trick i picked up that i will show you now. Make another layer and type in your word again in the same place. and turn that into a new channle you will use later. get rid of the layer cause you don’t need it anymore, then do the lighting effect filter and you are done.

Let me preface this by saying I have never really been a professional wrestling fan. Sure everyone knew how bad ass Hulk Hogan was when they were a kid, but it isn’t like I look back on a lifetime of nostalgia for large sweaty dudes slapping each other on the chest. Being a pro wrestling die-hard is down there on the list of thing I would brag about along side being a serial killer and owning the biggest anime collection this side of the Mississippi.
Blade Runner is an incredible movie. I dare say it is one of my favorites. Imagine my excitement when it was announced that a new Final Cut version was on the way for DVD release and theatrical release. Then imagine my disappointment when I learned that I lived nowhere near a theater showing of what is sure to be the pinnacle of man’s pursuit of art. That’s okay I can still get the DVD I guess. But then I got to thinking. I know this is the “Final” cut, but hasn’t Blade Runner been released about 80 different times, each one more final than the last?
To appeal more to a modern audience, and to more accurately depict the future as it will most probably unfold, the ongoing game of chess between the geniuses Tyrell and J.F. Sebastian is going to be modified into a rousing Halo match. All of the intensity of the finishing moves will remain intact, but the whole thing will play out over Xbox LIVE. Today’s hooting college kid is tomorrow’s revolutionary cyberneticist. The scene where Sebastian finally defeats Tyrell with the aid of of Roy will be punctuated by Tyrell throwing his controller against the wall and Sebastian calling him a “noob nigger faggot!”
To keep up believability the whole movie will be digitally processed to remove the gloomy overcast and polluted look the LA of 2019 has. With peak oil obviously already passed we are well on our way to reducing emissions and cleaning up all that smog. Instead LA will be bright and sunny with a lighter countenance with all female characters in big bug eyed shades. What do you say? Global warming is on the rise still? The polar caps are all going to melt? Nevermind. The entire movie will now take place completely under water.
The revised scene will take into account what we have learned from CSI, so not only will he be able to enhance a 3×4 block of pixels into a recognizable face, but it will have an incredible user interface completely driven by a keyboard with no mouse input needed at all! I know I use nothing but my trusty keyboard when I load up photoshop! (This is actually LESS retarded than the voice activated system in the actual movie.)
This one is more of an edit to reflect modern movie tastes and make the film age better rather than a technical fix. The original fruity happy ending that nobody cares about is gone, as is the uncertain and unsettling ending we have grown to love in the DVD releases. In its place is something to bring Deckard more in line with what modern audiences want in an action hero. Gone is Roy’s monologue given as Deckard watches in the rain.
Instead, Deckard, trapped on the rooftop and facing off against Roy sees he has one round left is his Sword/Gun. He gives a steely look to Roy, raises his gun and whispers a witty one-liner. Everything goes all slow-mo and Roy’s head explodes in an amazing display of gore and badassedness. Deckard drops the gun, puts on his bug eyed shades and walks slowly away as the music swells and the credits roll. It’s System of a Down.
