Needless to say, these were all made with a little (or should I say big) help from my friends Photoshop brushes.

But not just any Photoshop brushes. Oh, no!
For this special effect I created a special set of brushes which I named
– “Bokeh”.

Why bokeh? Well, while in photography, bokeh (shortly: aesthetic quality of the blur) is easy to create with almost any kind of camera, in graphic design many people find it desirable but hard to create.

I bet you’d like to do something like that and then show-off on Facebook, or Flickr, or your blog, or Photobook, etc … etc … right? :))

No probs!

Tomorrow, I will post a video tutorial on how to create and use bokeh (effect like the one on the images above) in your daily designs :)

So, tomorrow is a very special day, with a very special tutorial! Stay tuned!

Love,

Silvia

Video Tutorials: Using Photoshop Brushes and PNG files in Photoshop Elements

Video Tutorials: Using Photoshop Brushes and PNG files in Photoshop Elements

Guys,
I received sooo many questions about using Photoshop brushes with Photoshop Elements that I just had to go and make a video tutorials on that topic.

Now, I need to add that I’m totally not surprised that Photoshop elements is so popular these days. It is a great piece of software and unless you are a heavy duty designer pro it will do just fine for all the usual bitmap editing tasks.

It even imports my Canon 5D RAW file format which I can not do with my Photoshop CS4.

I prepared four video tutorials on how to use my Photoshop Brushes and PNG files in Photoshop Elements 8.0.

First video will show you how to work with Photoshop brushes (<- 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET on this link) in Photoshop Elements and this time I used Hearts (grungy) Photoshop Brushes set:

Second video is showing the easy way to work with PNG files in Photoshop Elements, and in this one I used my Tattoo PNG files from Tattoo Photoshop Brushes second edition set. This one I did together with my hubby. He did the narration:

Third video will show you how to create photo masks in Photoshop Elements (ver. 8.0) using my Christmas Photo Masks PNG files (free for GBG members, and if you are not the member you can join here):

View full screen video –>>

And fourth video will also show you how to create photo masks in Photoshop Elements (ver. 8.0) using the same Christmas Photo Masks PNG files but in a different way:

View full screen video –>>

I hope you’ll like the videos. I did not record audio because I’m a shy person, but all that matters is there. Just follow what I do and you’ll be just fine.

OK. That’s all for now, thank you for your supportive emails and your comments on GI Facebook fan page! I love you all!

How to Create a Lomo Look in Photoshop - Video Tutorial

How to Create a Lomo Look in Photoshop – Video Tutorial

Guys,

I don’ know if you heard about the Russian Lomo Compact Camera and the Lomography artistic movement since 1991, but personally I love Lomo and in this tutorial I will show you how to do it. To find out more about lomo go to – What is Lomography? page.

As I said, I love that lomo-look, and many of my photos are over-saturated, burnt and have too much contrast. But, since late ’90s I didn’t use my analog cameras that much. I love them and I really like the feeling when using mechanic instruments and winding my negative films, then smell of the chemicals in the darkroom :)

Although this hobby is really time consuming, there is still a way to lomoise photos in a fast and easy way.

Let me show you, here is what photos looked like before using “lomoising” technique and after using that technique.

First image is taken with Fish eye lens in our old apartment, year ago using one strobe light and a soft-box. (What is soft-box?) On second image I got more “dramatic” look using digital lomo technique. Oh, and yes – that’s my sister :)

How to Create Digital Lomo Look - Photoshop Video Tutorial

Swirls Butterflies, Photoshop brushes set (20+20)Also, I used Swirls Butterflies, Photoshop brushes set (20+20) from Graphics-Illustrations.Com Shop for $9.99

Set contains 40 butterflies made of swirls – 20 original in maximum brush size and 20 in small sizes (approx. 500 pixels). This Photoshop brushes set is compatible with Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3 and CS4.

Swirls Butterflies, Photoshop brushes set, 20

Second one is a photo of a butterfly taken in a natural light (butterfly takes a break on my red bag), and you can see that color really stands out and the yellow background looks like a flames.

How to Create Digital Lomo Look - Photoshop Video Tutorial

Photoshop Brush - Floral DUO (62)Here I used Photoshop Brush – Floral DUO (62) from Graphics-Illustrations.Com Shop available for $9.9 only.

Set of 62 unique brushes for Photoshop. There is a perfect fit pair brush for each of the brushes in the set. Compatible with Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5.

Third sample is a photo taken during a photo session for my friend which is a hosiery manufacturer.

Photoshop Brushes - Floral Shapes (37)To decorate this image I used Photoshop Brushes – Floral Shapes (37) from Graphics-Illustrations.Com Shop available for $9.9 only37 High-Resolution Photoshop brushes
Compatible with Photoshop 7.0 up to CS4 & Commercial license

There is an extra promo gift that comes with the Floral Photoshop Brushes set (37): Scrapbook kit Grunge Love !

Fourth sample is pampas grass detail, photo taken in a natural light. In this case I got more dramatic look using digital lomo technique.

Lightworks Photoshop Brushes set (61)For image decoration I used Lightworks Photoshop Brushes set (61) from Graphics-Illustrations.Com Shop available for $9.99 only.

Set of 61 high resolution brushes compatible with Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5.

Click here for preview:

And finally, a portrait of my friend Iva. Here you can see same photo before and after “lomoising”. First, the photo before “lomoising”. This one is used on my Photoshop Video Tutorial: “How to Create Lomo Look in Photoshop”.

And here’s the Iva after “lomoising” :)

How to Create a Lomo Look in Photoshop - Video Tutorial

So, if you’d like to try out lomo on some of your own photos, here is a video tutorial on how to do it:

Important notice: You will note that the video has no sound. This is because I am kind of a shy person and just can’t speak in public. Making a tutorial and speaking at the same time is kind of a speaking in public and I just can’t do it.

Now, for the same reason, I’m looking for someone to help me out. I’m making these tutorials for free, so I can’t offer you much, but if you are the kind of person that has no problem recording a tutorial text and wouldn’t mind getting some PREMIUM brushes or anything else from my little store of wonders for a little favor – let me know. I can send you the text that needs to be recorded and – voila! We have a tutorial with sound and you get some PREMIUM brushes. If you’re interested please send me an email to info(at)graphics-illustrations.com.

Until then, just follow what I do on the screen, make sure to do what I do and everything should be just fine.

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial.

Have fun creating!

Important: before starting workin on the image you opened in Photoshop, unlock the background Layer. The one where image is on. Here is how to do it:

Video tutorial: How to use Photoshop Brushes as Photo Masks

Gang,

Using Photoshop brushes as photo masks is nothing new, to some of you. But, for the rest of us, here is a little reminder of yet another way to use and apply Photoshop brushes.

So, I took the effort to prepare a small video tutorial. As always, before running it, start your Photoshop and follow along. That is the best way to learn.

OK. I’m sure this tutorial gave you a bunch of new ideas.

Don’t forget that you will need some High resolution brushes for projects like this. Especially if you plan to print these photos afterwards.
