For photoshop manipulations
Can you tell me how to save mobile camera images in raw

 

[clmlbx]

not possible dude, not even digital cameras store images in raw just couple do (very rare)

for raw images you need DSLR.

well how proficient are you in Photoshop? how will you rate your self out of 10?(depending on it I can give you some ideas to try out) I can give lot of ideas and I have lot work done in it.

 

[theserpent]

Well i give myself 7.5/10.(In Manipulations,Editing)
And in Digital Art-4.5/10

 

[clmlbx]

ok you can start with this fun and cool manipulation that I did in my Initial Days of Photoshop, well looking at now I can say it need lot of correction

[theserpent]

^^ Wow how did you do that?

 

[clmlbx]

If you want to do manipulation like this then at least try to figure it out by your self, If you have no clue then I will give you some hints.

 

[theserpent]

Im not able too doo it

HelP!

 

[clmlbx]

hmm did not see this post,

for that particular Effect

Find(google) Zebra image
Get that cow and Zebra in same File(different layers)
then use Liquify tool + masking + blending

Zebra will be very difficult then other animals as it has black and white stripes.. In mask and Blending "Black & white" is totally in different-opposites sides.

Hope you got it.

a2graphics: Still wana bite?

Any more ideas.

That Zebra Pic is mostly about Selections,Masks and Blending(Optional).
Check Out Some of My Photoshop Creations.
The following Pics have been Re-tweaked due to bandwith concerns..IMO The colours have undergone some kind of Desaturation during conversion.Sorry for that.
Will try to explain how i did it if anyone wants me to.

1.This one was my first successful creation with Layer Blending and Simple Paths,Brushes.I didnt knew much about Displacement Maps and Filters Back then or else would have given cooler effects to The Text.

This is one of my more recent creation using Filters,Masks,Simple Custom Brushes+Settings,Light Filters and Layer Blending And Blur.
Looks Funky enough!

This one is my personal fav.
Mostly About Vectors and Brushes.

Note:I owe most of Skills to Digit Fast Track to Photoshop 2006

^^ Is there any way to get that fastrack book?
I guess you used a brown colour.Then added a grain layer.
And used different brushes or different colours

 

[Sujeet]

Sorry,But what do you mean by depth of feild?

DOF.
The deatils of objects in image fades out proportional to the their distance from screen or viewer.

In layman term Blur out objects with lesser details and Focus the Object which you want your Pic to be dominated with.
Check this out.Notice the Blured Backdrops.

Btw where did you people learn so much about all these stuff like displacement maps etc.
Err...the place where i learnt photoshop finish teaching topics in a class of 10-20 mins each.
Yes,they even taught digital Art in a class of 15 mins .
I was like i wasted all my money.

Now that Animation School has closed
Infact most of the animation schools in my city have closed
presently i guess only Arena is alive

As i said all my basics belong that Fast Track.Thanx To digit.
As climbx said.
First You should be able to figure out the functioning of every major tool availbale in interface.
Later i tried myself using different Tools and sought some Help from online Tutorials.
The important thing which i would like to mention is that instead of simply copying the Steps of tutorials i try to apply them in a completely different image to see the real impact so that i could understand better about the use of every tool in Tutoials.

Later i try to experiment my own creations with the skills i learn.

 

[theserpent]

^ I know most of the tools expect Many in the filters

 

[Sujeet]

^ Yup

In that image i basically used black ground to which i added noise with filter menu.
Later i blended it with layers of tones of orange (3 layers to be exact ) with varying opacity and blend modes of Soft Light and Overlay.
After that simple small sized soft brush has been used to trace the paths drwan using Pen Tool(an essential tool which one must master if He / she wants to do digital painting).
The text as usual with Text Tools.
