It's amazing what Photoshop can do...

..with a little know how and a bright idea!

I get bored sometimes, more to the point I get a little distracted when I should probably be working...(Frazer, if you are reading this, expect an email soon)

I did a bit of generic stock hunting for a logo I'm working on right now, I wanted the buildings for a texture, but got a little distracted when I started playing with the levels.



So here we go folks generico stock imagio. Just a city skyline, nothing special.

This is almost a half assed tutorial, but tweak your levels, turn reds up, greens down, blues up, then just play some more. I noticed an almost complete change to the feel of the image, it felt different, it was warmer, more worn looking, the colours were washed out, I liked it more already.

I thought to myself this isn't enough, so added these...











all of these image layers were changed to overlay and then opacity jerked down to around the 30% mark.

And you are left with...



Which is far easier on the eyes don't you think?

NB: Some of these images are mine, some are from stock sites, some are from CD's from mags, I doubt anyone will notice or mind that I have uploaded them to my photobucket, however if you do have a problem, tell me and POOF they will be gone.

Time to send some emails....

A few more textures...

Well one of them should be going live soon enough, but for now, just have a gander...





Nothing big to update, sadly.

I'm going to go get some food.

Textures...

Well I've got loads, things I've downloaded and stitched together with something I found on the floor on my way home one night, photos I've taken...

Basically, I did a tutorial on pulling these elements together for a better result and here is my first one...



I'm going to start a folder/catagory for it now, and as I make them, I'll just post them, if you use them bonus (tell me though), if you see it in the background of something I've made, there might be a prize involved....

Back to work
