I was wondering if anyone knew how to take an image in photoshop and make it a silhouette? Like those groovy iPod commercials? I did it once before on accident and dont recall the process. Thanks ---

As always there is no one way to do it but here is how i do. -Take the image of your person -Crop out what you want as a silhouette -go Image\> Adjust\> Brightness/contrast -now drag the sliders till your image blacks out - thn put it on what ever image you want Hope that helps ---

as sintax says, always more than 1 way to do something. Here’s what I would have done differently. Pretty much the same up until the brightness step. Instead of doing that, I would have changed the blending options to use a color overlay. - Right click on the layer of the image you want to sillouhette - Select blending options - Select Color Overlay - Change the color selection to the shade you like ---

Yeldarb - right, sure. it produces the same result, but ok :sigh: datapimp - why would sintax give you all his hard work? I’ll sell it to you though…cheap. typical too, “great work how did you do it?” I’m surprised you didn’t just ask him to do it for you…oh wait, you did 😉 sintax321 - where does the old man come from? who’s an old man? and what’s this about you being a flamer now? I guess the chick pic was a cover up huh? didn’t work buddy, you’re exposed to the world for what you really are. Just bring it. ---

Hell how about a different forum cause we don’t need you here. Serious Please go away you waste of skin spammer. Unflux: I guess calling you and old man was a poor choice of words.

I’m not flaming or a flamer the only thing on fire here is your from the wicked burns you are about to get sucka. I’m goign to take this to the third degree on you. Back to topic.

is that all you got for me? a measely attempt at humor? drag queen? why are you trying to drag that into this? you don’t need to be ashamed of what you are (or aren’t). stand up son, be proud! you don’t know the half of what kind of man I am. but i’m sure you’d love me to show you…ehhhh wrong! go ahead and bend over, so you can take it like a man. if this is your 3rd degree, i’m getting nothing but a tan cuz it’s weak. I’ve gotten worse burns from looking at your pathetic work much less reading your empty words. Get some sack man! say what you want to say…go ahead! tell everyone about the time you dissappeared for a few hrs with that sheep. We all know how you canadians like it. “How you like THAT, eh?” ---

What was that? That wasn’t a flame. That wasn’t even a spark. I’m using gasoline and a blow torch and you are using matches and the farts out of your a$s. Gay jokes? Is that all you have for me. Why don’t you go back to the third grade when those jokes where even funny. Oh and I’m sure you would love to go to the third grade with you fondness for young boys. Come on we all know Michael Jackson is your hero. My work pathetic? Oh no no Unflux. Who is always crying to me… Oh sintax can you show me how to make aged paper…….Oh sintax can you lend me one of your sinamps for a site….Oh sintax how do I make grunge work. Seems to me my work and skills are in demand by you. Of course when your skills are as week as yours you would have to ask for help all the time. I’ve seen you FLA’s, I’ve seen your PSD’s they are $hit. I wouldn’t even use them for toilet paper they are such garbage. And your site, man how old is it like 2 years old now come on man get some thing original. Plus we all know you ripped it from that kid pixelmorder. You know the one you accused of ripping. I know for a fact you stole it from him you ripping bastard. You even e-mailed me and laughed about how you did it. Fact is your flames old school just like your work. Burn sucka burn!!! :evil: :evil: ---
