Photoshop Q & A

[Yami_Zidane]

I have a question, how do you get new fonts onto Photoshop, i know where to download them its just getting them onto Photoshop that seems to baffle me O.o any help would be appreciated!

Now, i asume you use Windows O.o Go to C: -> WINDOWS -> Fonts -> Then, in the navbar, pick "file" and choose "Install Font" then, browse your computer, find your font and press install ^_^

When you export, you must
1) Export as gif or png
2) Make sure that the transparency checkbox is ticked.

what do you mean by 'transparent'
do you mean opaque-looking?
because for that, you can take the eraser tool and set the brush to a bigger size and set the opacity to about 50% (or however transparent you want it)
then go over the whole picture (dont lift up the button for the mouse) until it's all one transparency.

i hope that helped!

Ok I have several questions:

1. Where I can download new fonts,styles,brushes etc for Photoshop CS?
2. How can I make it so when I am copying in PS(and pasting) that the background is transparent?
3. I found a tutorial on the net about water drops, and followed every step, but it still wouldn't work. Anyway here is the tutorial:

https://www.n-sane.net/tutorials/water_drops/index.php

So tell me if it works for you.

1. deviantart.com - look in the Resources section
2. when you're.. copying and pasting? i have no idea what you mean, sorry.
3. i've seen that tutorial before. it has to be on a background to see it. if you just make a new white layer under the water drop, you'll see. if you make it even more detailed, it'll look even better.

Well I made this:

And I want to put only the DarkPegasus part(without the black background) on something like this:

Umm you should have done it on a different layer.

Anyway, now, the easiest way is to set the layer options to screen. That way, only the light parts show up.

One question:

What is the name of the font(or where I can download it) that Composer of Requiems is using in his sig?

I don't know if this belongs here, but - does anyone know where I can find a good, easy to follow tutorial on coloring anime lineart? <<; I tried good-tutorials, but they were... weird. <<; And some links were broken. ;-;

Tried pixel2life.com? o.o If you won't find there what you need, use google.

Hmm just a little suggestion with colouring anime lineart; use layer masks and folders. Make a folder for each part you want to colour, set the folder's layer mask as the section of the lineart that you want to colour. It's a lot easier that way.

[DarkPegasus]

Can anybody PM me a direct link to a zip/rar with a lot of textures?

1. Where I can download new fonts,styles,brushes etc for Photoshop CS?

Fonts- dafont.com fonts.com abstractfonts.com

Brushes- operafloozy.com telus.net

Those are the best places for fonts and brushes for CS (I've been told). I use PSP7, so I wouldn't know =/

I was wondering, though, is there any specific forum/thread/place on these boards where art competitions are held? No? I have no idea, I'm absolutely new.​

 

[Sylver]

We don't have any art competitions, yet. ^_^
