Looking for advice on adding icons to my design
Hi,

Is Photoshop easy to learn ? ?
Is it just me, or do others here find Photoshop very unintuitive ? I’ve been struggling for a few months to try to be fairly proficient in it, looking at video tutorials etc, but still really struggle with it

2. Open brushes panel by clicking toggle brushes panel icon from option palette or by pressing shortcut (F5).
Step 6: Brush Settings
Now we are going to make certain changes to our brush.
These settings are image dependent and you should always try to experiment to get best results.
Pick a basic brush tip.

Select other dynamics.
2. Change flow jitter control to pen pressure
Select dual brush and change the following settings.

Spacing must be set to 25% if it is not make sure you change it.
Step 7: Creating A New Layer Group
We are going to create a new group.
Create a new group by clicking on folder icon in layers palette and name it effect.
Step 8: Creating A New Layer
Create a new layer in effect group by clicking on new layer icon in layers palette.
Name the new layer laser car.
Step 9: Applying Stroke to Path
Before applying stroke we are going to hide the car layer as it is not required further.
After hiding the car layer you must select your laser car layer
Go to paths palette
1. Make sure that your foreground color is white before applying stroke because it will be applied as stroke.
2. Right click on your workpath and click on stroke. A new popup will come on screen.
3. Check simulate pressure. Select brush if not selected & then click OK.
Step 10: Adjusting Car Size
Deselect workpath and go to layers palette.
When you apply stroke you will have image resembling one below.
Adjust your laser car layer to match the image below.
Step 11: Creating Final Output
To get the laser effect only one thing is left to be done.
Select the effects group from layers palette and change its blending mode to Color Dodge.
Now you see the laser effect similar to the image you can see below.
To make the effect more dramatic we are going to duplicate the laser car layer & name it laser car 70%
Change the opacity to 70%.
Move the layer a bit to make a doubling effect, like one in image below.
We are going to have one more copy of laser car & name it laser car 50%.
Change the opacity to 50%.
Move the layer a bit to make it look like image below.
Wow thats a car created through laser in an empty alley.
Conclusion
The tutorial used basic photoshop techniques to create a laser effect. Working with only basic photoshop tools and playing with blending mode we can create stunning effects and bring our pictures to life. Always make sure that you input your own creativity and not follow everything as rule of thumb. Certain areas as brush settings & foreground color are image dependent, play with them to get best results. Hope you will enjoy this tutorial until next time KEEP CREATING!
Altering a color wheel…
I had this idea; that’s how I oft get trouble, BTW. I found this really nice JPG of a simple 12 color color wheel. I thought that I could pick a “base color”, then I could use the Hue/Sat/Lum (master) sliders to match the color closest to my “base color” on the color wheel. I would then have an instant 12 color palette for design… that was my theory at least.
First off it seems as if PS doesnt do the math right. For example Let’s say we had sample of a yellow color. Looking at it in the picker it says: H:60, S:80, L:99. Our desired swatch breaks down in the picker as: H:52 S:100 L:69.
One would figure we could set the Hue/Sat/Ligh to : H:-8, S:20, L:-30 and obtain a matched color. But after the operation happens what I get is a color which samples as: H:52, S:90, L:76 ????
maybe I am doing something wrong here?
The second problem is more color theory based. I was hoping that altering a color wheel this way would show more tonal possibilities, but actually it seems to muddy up the rest of the colors so that when you try using a tint or a shade of the color… well…it’s just awful.
I know there are programs that do this function, specifically.. but mostly I like to do this manually, for my own comprehension. I would appreciate input from any Photoshop masters with good knowledge of color theory…
