that is megga, i've had PS2 for about 2 years now, and still don't know the basics of this prog. But reading stuff like this, how it works and what it does, gives us learners an insight to how and why different things in the prog work, tnx Z

Sorry for late reply LittleCoolDude.. i wasn't around.. well removing that thin white line (halos) is really simple. So if you have a vector type (or hard edges).. then simply do this

While you layer mask is selected, goto Filter>Other>Minimum and select Select default Radius of 1 Pixel..Thats all :D you can change it to 2 ,3 or whatever, but I'd suggest that you keep it to 1 and apply the filter....then simply press Ctrl+F to re-apply the filter with same settings.









and if you're image has softer edges like fur, hair etc then while your layer mask is selected....goto Select>Refine Edge or Alt+Ctrl+R and take Contract/Expand slider to left till the Halo goes away and then add a little bit of feather. Try to do it in the standard mode(far left option)t and if the marching ants (selection) is not letting you see the edges properly.. simply press Ctrl+H and they will hide. Ctrl+H again will reveal them again.

Refining Edge is a bit of tricky job and i'll try to fully explain it in another thread.




Excellent..! That's way easier than the way I do it....(Don't ask) :)


TX.

1- My CS3 only got a few font types for titles (TT) and one friend tould me that this depend of the fonts i have installed on my Word 2007. Is this true ? Do i need to make a upload ?

All those fonts installed in your Windows Font Folder will work in PS as well. BUT it's never good to install thousands of fonts in Win OS. You can always use some kind of font manager to temporary use/install a font like "Extensis Suitcae", "Adobe Font Manager" "Serif Font Manager" or "AMP Font Viewer" etc. They all work great.

Hi Sxxo that is the Univeral Accreditation Font. You need to install all fonts to your Font folder depending on what version of Windows you have.

But you should ask that question in a seperate thread as this one is a tutorial for Extractions

Went out for the weekend ... and spend some time to pratice this tip and finally i could done this. :)
I will finish my Bolt cover, with this one ...
Just two questions, if you please:
1- My CS3 only got a few font types for titles (TT) and one friend tould me that this depend of the fonts i have installed on my Word 2007. Is this true ? Do i need to make a upload ?
2 - Wicth type font do you normally use for credits (image bellow) ?

Thanks for all your support and, specially, pacient ;)

I've skipped those steps I've explained in earlier posts. just one closer look on how you overlay the brush on your blue channel copy



Now once you've made the layer mask... make sure layer and mask are locked... select move tool and drag it to new wrokspace while holding the left mouse button.



Next step is refine edge

TIP: its alway better to choose the background image before refining edge.... cause image extracted from lighter background/placed on a lighter background don't need to much work... and same goes for image extracted from darker background/placed on darker background.

when you open the refine edge option, it will show you the marching ant (selection area) and you won't be able to see the edge clearly.



simply pressing Ctrl+H will hide those ants and give you a better preview. Slide down the mask edge (to left) till those halos go away, then use a light bit of feather to soften it



Thats it you are almost done.


At last add some shadow under the characters to make it more realistic. ;)


I hope you got the idea

Hi. I have work this image in lower resolution, but this is the original.
Thanks in advance.

by zantasha » Sun Feb 14, 2010 6:12 pm

Ok post the original image here or url it.... and I'll try to explain it more. You've done the last step wrong. Never apply Mask again after refine edge or it will merge with the original layer and you won't be able to edit the mask anymore.

so just give me the original image ;)
