Victory!

dazftw

already tried!

I see.

And when you "tried" did you not see the first million results, all of which were websites full of photoshop tutorials?

Heres the first five or six for you:
http://www.good-tutorials.com/
http://studio.adobe.com/us/search/sort?sort=topic&product=15&topic=0&type=all&level=all&x=8&y=6
http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/Photoshop/1
http://www.absolutecross.com/tutorials/photoshop/
http://www.pslover.com/

http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshoptutorials/

That last one looks especially good.

I dont think your understanding me... I need a site that will let me host the tutorial (I know how to make them)

Like I could do it here but its not actually meant for tutorials only!

My fault sorry.. Im not making sense lol

dazftw

Heres my 1st one ever! (the images are less than a 100kb each)

I need a site that dedicated to letting "you" creating and hosting your own to show to other people!

The first thing you need to do is find the image you want to use. It is handy if its not close up and would have plenty of color anyway(so you can tell once you make it B&W)

For this tutorial I will be using this image:



Theres not much colour but its not close up and I will be using the yellow t-shirt so it will have a good contrast.

Ok, so here goes!

1. Zoom in on the selected area you are going to use and select the "Edit in Quick Mask Mode" tool, Keyboard shortcut (Q)

2. Once that is selected pick a soft brush amd start to brush over the yellow areas of the t-shirt until it is fully covered.
It should look something like this:

(you will have more time to go over it cleaner )



3.Then click "Edit in Standard Mode" Keyboard shortcut (Q) This should give you a selection of everything [size=10pt]but[/size] the yellow t-shirt

It should look like this:



4.Now go Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation, keyboard shortcut (ctrl+u) Now put the saturation all the way done to 0. Then to make it so it has a high contrast go Image>Adjustments>Curves keyboard shortcut (ctrl+m) and set it to your own liking (high contrast by making a S curve)

It should look like this:





5. Now to finish it! This time on the t-shirt to give it more contrast!

Go Select>Inverse Keyboard shorcut (ctrl+shift+i) This should select only the inside of the t-shirt. Repeat step 4. This time adding saturation I used 25 but you can use what you like then use curves for extra contrast!

It should look something like this:

Oh right. Posting tutorials here is fine, as long as they have something to do with photography. I like the lighting in your example above.

There is a very good 'Resources' thread in the Digital Art/Design forum, you will probably be able to find more there if you wish.

dazftw

Ok.. Thanks guys!

This place was my 1st thought for posting tutorials but like some of them are going to be very basic so I wasn't sure if there was even a point.. lol

Ruu_Old

Make a few more and maybe they can be stickied or maybe others out there would give it a go also. Fine idea for photo related tutorials to be in the one spot.

dazftw

Yea like a sub forum maybe?

See the thing is.. lol I will do both I dont mind at all but I just made this in like the last half hour.. haha

Thought it would be handy for a couple of friends of mine(and myself) who are going to college to do multimedia this year

Everyone here is welcomed to join :rolleyes:

I dunno that tutorial would probably work better by creating a new channel from the yellow channel in CMYK to crate a layer mask for an adjustment layer, you know nondestructive editing and all.
Tutorials would be a good idea especially if people can C&C them! I'm always learning new stuff in photoshop.

digitalbeginner

I'd say Mark at http://www.photographyireland.net would be happy to help you there as well. Where are you going with this? Do you eventually want to sell them (say as podcasts) or are you happy to keep them available for free?

dazftw

I dont mind giving them out for free, aslong as if they like them we get a bit of recognition :rolleyes:

I've seen a few on flickr - you put the screenshots up as pictures, with the instructions underneath (you can even draw little boxes and put notes on them, if you like that sort of thing) and put them in a set so you click through each of them, in a series. I hope that makes sense...here's an example I found for Illustrator: http://www.flickr.com/photos/seian/sets/167785/

sub forum here for ps tutorials or photoshopping in general is a nice idea.

Agree 100%. Then elven wouldn't have to do all that typing and just give us the screenshots

5uspect

Great idea! Looking forward to all the new ps tips I know you're all hoarding, c'mon now get 'em ready...

I guess now we have two photoshop fora, one for graphic design and one for "touching up" photos, maybe a sticky in both to redirect questions to the relavent forum would be a good idea...

I do believe deviantart has a section for resources such as tutorials.
