Rios15's GFX Questions​

I usually like step by step kind of help, but please try and help me with the questions I ask below.

How do you make something transparent?
Say I wanted to just make something with text like the Toronto text in my sig. How do I make it without a background like the one in my signature

How do you add borders/ a border to a sig?

What are some good ways to darken up a certain part of a graphic?

What are some good ways to lighten up a render in a graphic?

Hide the background, and save the image as a .png with NO BACKGROUND.

How do you add borders/ a border to a sig?

Edit>Stroke>Select Colour/Size.

What are some good ways to darken up a certain part of a graphic?

The burn tool, or dark brushing on multiply, and tweak with the fill/opacity
To find the burn tool, click "O" on your keyboard

What are some good ways to lighten up a render in a graphic?[/b]

Either the dodge tool (hit "R" on your keyboard), or white brushing on overlay.





HOPE I COULD HELP.

Thank you, if I have anymore questions, I will post them here.

Alright, I really like how a lot of people use bars to place their text on in their sigs. Where are these from?

Example:

 

[jarrod2323]

it's just using rectangle tool and then filling with a color

Some Photoshops don't have it.

How do you duplicate a picture with a bar like in this following sig..

 

[jarrod2323]

select area, copy & paste.. then manipulate the new layer as seen fit.. this one was reversed

 

[dcpwner]

ctrl+alt+shift+e make sure u have a visible layer selected when you do this. It will apply the image or stamp copy it together. Then edit>transform>flip horizontal (or whatever) use arrow tool to move
