Hey I have a question for ya's

talk random

on a site like this…

http://www.thrice-visuals.com/thricenewlayout.htm

how do you get that realistic effect of paper in the background? is it scanned? I’ve seen some of it, and I like the effect. I belive it’s scanned, just never tried it. But…would it work like that if you scanned it? I wish i had a better example, just can’t think of where else i’ve seen it. Anyway. thanks.

You can make that in Photoshop from scratch (no scanning).

Really?! Well maybe that’s not a good exapmle of what I’m talking about. I’ve seen pages where the background is actual paper. Wrinkled paper. I really don’t think you can make what i’m talking about in photoshop from scratch. (sorry for the bad example) does anyone know what I’m talking about? :crazy:

yah I know, and you can pretty much anything in photoshop from scratch… if you know what you are doing.

Look for some tutorials on the subject - there are a ton out there for sure

5

Jep you can really do stuff like that in PS. With the right brushes and all that stuff…
Or you take a normal paper and burn it on the sides ;p Place it in the stove for some minutes on low temp. Tada ready ;p

6

I’ll try and find a better example of what i’m talking about…sorry. …off to find better example

7

Thank you for the help though, I do appreciate it!

ok…kinda like this type of stuff (like the loading tape) and the paper the links are on? that stuff is scanned??

that looks more like photoshop than the one in the first post!

10

are you kidding me?? the tape in the loading bar is made in photoshop from sratch w/ no images?!..if so…i’m in the dark w/ photoshop. But I really don’t think so. (I’m still greatful for all your replies. Please don’t take this as me being a d*ck. ) thank you.

11

na, I looked at it again. That HAS to be real tape. I’m pretty knowledgable in photoshop. (I’m talking about after you press enter, the tape that is around the loading bar)

12

jep, the tape is a photo… I know tape and when you look at the right side, it is going a little bit inside… that is a photo

13

Why doesnt a mod move this to d&d?

14

I woulda posted there…cept I would probably STILL be waiting for a reply. sorry. you can move it.

Anyway, I knew I wasn’t crazy!! Is that a diggy photo? or a scan?

15

moving to D&D…

Rev

While that duct tape is probably a photo, it’s still possible to produce such realistic effects in photoshop if you’re REALLY good.

17

I would love to see someone create that realism in photoshop. That would be amazing.
