FILTER FORGE 6 FOR PHOTO SHOP EVALUATIONS HOW TO
I thought I would write a short tutorial on how to produce a simple filter. I really love it and have produced both filters and textures with it starting from scratch. I will start out by saying that I have been only using Filter Forge a short while. For example, the Creating a Webstore logo that I’m using right now actually uses a pattern as you can see below: Using a pattern for your text is actually one of the easiest ways to stylize text in Photoshop.Tutorial on Creating Filters in Filter Forge Of course you can use any type of pattern for your text and you can even add additional styles to your text such as contours, textures, outlines and more. In this tutorial I show you how to do all of this in Photoshop CC but the same steps can be taken for Photoshop CS6 and older versions. #Add border to text in photoshop cs2 how to# Then go to “edit > define pattern” as shown in the image below: Open up the image that you’d like to use with Photoshop. Then simply select your new patter by clicking on it in the selection window as shown below: In the “styles” column tick off “pattern overlay” and then click the drop down arrow in the pattern window as shown below: You can use the default name or add your own and click the “ok” button.Īfter you’ve defined your pattern, you can use it on your text by simply double clicking on the text layer in your layers window as shown below: Next you will need to give your pattern a name. For example, I used “snap to origin” to position the text as shown below: You can play around with all the different options. I then scaled it down as shown below so that it looks like a real flag:īelow you can watch my video to see how I did all this step by step.

It’s also a quick way to give your images a nostalgic feel by presenting them rather like printed photos or Polaroids of yesteryear.

In this nice and easy tutorial, I’ll show you how easy it is to add a simple frame to a photo and even if you’re a complete newbie with Adobe Photoshop, you’ll have no trouble following along with this simple project. I’m going to add a simple white border frame that is reminiscent of an instant print from a Polaroid camera, but the techniques can be easily adapted to produce a result more akin to a traditional 4×6 print. Select Your Start Photoįirst up you’ll need to select a photo to work with and if you’re also going to produce a frame that looks like a Polaroid shot, you’ll need an image that is suitable for cropping to a square shape. When you’ve decided on the photo that you’re going to use, go to File > Open and then navigate to the image file and click the OK button. With your photo now open in Photoshop, click on the Crop Tool in the Tools palette to activate it. Now hold the Shift key on your keyboard and then click on the photo and, while holding the mouse button down, drag across your image to define the area that you want to crop. Note that holding down the Shift key ensures that you draw a perfect square. However, while the image area of a Polaroid shot is square, the print itself has a wider border at the bottom, so we need to adjust the shape of the crop box. You will either need to drag one of the central grab handles on the side of the crop box inwards or drag one of the central drag handles at the top or bottom outwards to make the crop selection slightly rectangular. In my case, I adjusted both the top and bottom drag handles. Finally, hit the Return key to crop the image.

Now we can add a new layer that we will use to produce our Polaroid style border frame.
