Matt-any chance of adapting the CS2 tut for Elements? Great effect!

[tfry]

Carol,

We are glad you like it :)

[Wendy]

Ummmmmm ...

I went there but what do I do next ... where is the tut ???


Wendy

You sort of click over to the side to start the video, but it was very small on the webpage, probably better to open in itunes, haven't tried yet

[Pauline]

Thanks for the link Carol. That was good!

Hi
Wendy, the tut was part of the TV show, about 3/4 of the way through. I also went through iTunes and got the video (free, BTW) and the screen is actually a little smaller on iTunes than on the website, however the video quality is really good. I couldn't see the before and after on Scott's sharpening tip, but the tutorial was easier to see and follow. Jury is out on whether Elements users with no full blown or CS experience will really benefit, but it's fun to watch.

Tami-I know that you can't be all things to all people (even tho you try!), I'm sure that there will be stuff for Elements users to take advantage of. As I said, it would be great if Matt's tut could be adapted, it was very cool. Do these guys ever sleep??

Don't you think that Matt looks like Freddie Prinze, Jr? Ah, the danger of moving pictures...
:lol:

[Wendy]

Thanks for the info ... I will see if I can find it :)

I liked the page curl technique one. To late to try it tonight (Amazing Race is on soon), but maybe tomorrow. I might be able to work something out. (boy aren't I feeling confident!). We did learn how to do page curl way back when.................. :idea:

I wondered if the itunes player would be better. I updated my quicktime but deleted the player since I have enough bloody players on here as it is! Since you say it's smaller, I won't even bother. The video only stopped once on me.

[gheartland]

By default, the videocast plays in the "song artwork" and "video viewer" pane in the lower-left corner of the iTunes window (click the "Show or hide song artwork and video viewer" button if it's not displayed). If the bar above the pane displays "Selected Song," click the bar so that it displays "Now Playing." To see the video play in a separate window, click the video while it is playing in the pane.

I am assuming everyone is familiar with how to subscribe and download audio podcasts. The video podcast works the same way. I resized my window so that it was similar to the window size used in the online classes.

[CarolLHB]

Thanks for the info-I'll check it out :D

[Wendy]

Pauline ...

Page curl ... Matt did a Video tut on how to do it.

... and I did a mini tut on a cheats way to do it :)


Wendy

[Pauline]

Yup, I remember that Wendy!! :lol: :lol:
I've decided to stay home nad have me time today, and even had another mask idea, I might play around with. Now that the one is done there is no pressure and who knows the second one might turn out better. :lol: If nothing else, my daughter's boyfriend will be thrilled. He seems to like being my model. :lol:

[tfry]

Carol,

Sleep is scheduled.....The second Tuesday of each week the whole company takes the day off to sleep :wink:

I will pass your request onto Matt...

As for Matt...I knew he reminded me of someone....
Thanks for the memory jog :)

[Matt K]

Hey everybody,
Okay... two things.
First, I'll try to get a warp tutorial out. However, while you can fake it in Elements, there is an aspect of it that just can't be repeated. Notice how when I warped an edge and dragged it over the photo itself it made it looked like you could see the back of the photo? That would be hard to accomplish in Elements. I'll see what I can come up with though.

Next, I've never been tool I look like Freddie Prinze before. I'll take it as a compliment though seeing as I think I have about 5-10 years on him.
:D

Thanks again. Glad you enjoyed the TV show.

[Pauline]

Matt, I know you can do it. Take that corner. Make it into a selection and fill it with grey! Maybe it might need a little use from the gradient tool to make it look like it's bending. How am I doing so far? Will this have to be a two parter? Can I work for you? :twisted:

Okay, I'm going back to my seat at the back of the class beside Gary! He's been pretty quiet and well behaved since he stuck his Wacom pen in Brice's head. :lol:

[ktnoon60]

Here is my attempt at Matts tutorial. I used the vizrus 4 plug in to make the page curls. Played around a lot to get it.

Kt

[Pauline]

KT, great effect. I would fill in those page corners with an off white or grey though so that they look like the back of the photo. You did a terrific job!

[GaryK]

Pauline

I have to be quiet...Wendy took my toys.

Guess what I got????? Flippin' pink eye. I noticed something in my eye on Monday but firgured it would work itself out. It was worse on Tuesday so I went to a clinic and and the doc said I had pink eye. Now I have drops, and the eye is feeling quite a bit, better but still really red :lol: :lol:

[ktnoon60]

Thanks Pualine, I had the page curls that way at first. They come up with a gray gradient but when i watched the tutorial again I noticed Matt had part of the picture in the page curl so I did some outlining and cloning to try to recreate it.

KT

[Pauline]

Hi KT. I just find that the hard work of the effect kind of gets lost when the picture is on the curl part. Of course I didn't see it the other way you did it, so maybe this way looks better.

Gary, you poor boy. I have never had pink eye but I did have a stye in my eye once and that was horrible. Hopefully it will clear up quickly.

[jazzfisher]

Gary,
That's what you get for putting your fingers where they don't belong!!!


Poor Baby!!!! :cry:

[ktnoon60]

Here's option no 2

Kt

[Wendy]

Gary ...

OK you are not well ... so you can hove your toys back ... but only if you are good :)

PS ... What is pink eye ??? ... is it the thing that we call conjunctivitis. If so then I had it years ago and it was awful ... :( :(


Wendy

[jazzfisher]

Wendy,
Yes, I believe that's the real name for it.

[Pauline]

KT, my vote goes for option 2. You did a terrific job!! Who says we need big brother PSCS2? We might have to work a wee bit harder, but that doesn't stop us!!!

[Wendy]

Yes ... I go with option two as well ... very nice :)


Wendy

[GaryK]

Wendy

I think thats it. I never realised that it felt like grit..I always just thought it felt more like you had been in a room with major smokers.

Sherry

I'm ignoring your finger remark :lol:

[Wendy]

Gary ...

When I had it ... oh it was awful. I seem to remember that they gave me cream to put in my eye (from a tiny little tube) and that wasn't nice either.

Hope you feel better soon :)


Wendy

[GaryK]

At least I can read the forums properly now. :lol:

Driving was exciting yesterday though.

[CarolLHB]

Thanks Matt, that would be great! It was a compliment...years, schmears... :D !
KT, that's awesome-can you give us some info on the plug-in?

Poor Gary-pink eye is indeed the slang name for conjunctivitis- a nasty, nasty infection. I've caught it three times from my little darlin's at school...occupational hazard, I guess. Make sure you follow the the doctor's orders to a "T", this can be tough to get rid of. Hope you're feeling better soon, and yes driving blind can be thrilling!
:lol:
gheart-thanks for the info, it did open on the larger black screen, and I could drag out the corner a bit to make it bigger-not too big though because it degraded pretty quickly-thanks!

[tfry]

Hope you get to seeing and feeling better soon Gary...

If not, feel free to come to Flordia and drive blind...people here do it all the time..... :roll: I swear half the population drives with their eyes closed, you'd be fine here :)

[GaryK]

Thanks for the kind words everybody.

I'm sure things will be fine in no time. They are just burning now so thats way better. Probably just mildly irrititated by tomorrow. :lol: :lol:

As long as I can see the masks on friday..all is good. Hope I don't get carded trying to get in. :wink:

[lindajay]

Oh, Gary -- so sorry about your eye. Say, have you tried the red eye tool? :lol:

KT, I REALLY, REALLY like the second one. It's great!

--Linda

[jazzfisher]

Linda,
Good one!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Wendy]

Linda ...


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Wendy

[tfry]

Linda,

Nice one! 8)

[Pauline]

:lol: :lol: :lol: Linda. Love that one. No word from Gary. He's probably crying.

[Wendy]

Maybe he is having a sulk ...

.... or I gave him his toys back yesterday (confiscated during classes) so maybe he is playing with those :)


Wendy

[Jodi Frye]

Gary, so sorry about your eye. Despite all the joking around here...I sure hope you are doing better, with or without the use of the tool ;)

[Mary]

I REALLY enjoyed the Photoshop TV Show - loved the shorts Dave - I have subscribed through iPod - and I look forward to many more.

Hope your eye gets better very soon Gary :wink: :wink: :wink:

[GaryK]

Red eye removal??? Somebody else to scratch off my Christmas list :lol: :lol:

I did notice a post with that heading.. Thought it was for me :D but nooooo.. somebody had an elements question..go figure. :lol: :lol:

Feeling way better today .. two more days of drops.. which I am lousy at.

How can you miss your eye when the darn dropper is like 1 mm away. :lol:

[jazzfisher]

Gary,
Too much Glassian Blur maybe???????????

[GaryK]

Sherry

Going to the beer store to top up my blur :lol: :lol:

Hey maybe thats why I keep missing.

[Pauline]

Gary, get your kids to help you. Kids seem to love doing stuff that causes their parents discomfort!!

[Wendy]

Gary ...

... You need CS2's smart blur :)
