Ok, I need to know how to create tihs effect on PS.

go to:

[http://www.loungeagency.com/](http://www.loungeagency.com/)

then click on “cover” and on “I LOVE T Dot”.

Someone PLEASE tell me how the tracing effect was made. It must be some sort of filter but I can’t seem to find it.

you mean cutting out the girl. i guess if you wanted to do that then do: Filter-Extract. set the quality to 100, or it will be really choppy. if you want to learn to do the pixel stretch, then i’ll post some links.🙂

i think he is speaking of the 1 pixel smear. Basically use your 1pixel marquee tool to make a selection of an image. then define it as a pattern (edit\>\>define pattern…I believe…if not try under the file menu). Now make a new layer. with you square marquee (regular one no antialias or feather) and select where you want te effect to appear. The got to edit\>\>fill find your pattern you just made. and there you have it. There are many ways to do it as I suspect you are about to find out.

lemme know if you need more info.

usually, I just do the vertical marquee (1px) selection, copy’n paste to an underlying layer, and just scale it to both edges of the pic…

much easier 🙂

I use the define pattern way…
