I'm hero ^.^


Heizaa!! I'm sure that everyone knew the 7 Dragonball manga. When I was a child, I dreamt that I also had the super power like characters in this manga. This means I can create an energy round myself. Of courses, this can't be.

However, with Photoshop, I can create this image which is looks like my dream.


Silhouette creation





Hi everyone!

Welcome to my first entry.

Let's look at the picture. I'm sure that you can regconize this is my portrait.

Heizaaa....(someone will insult me.... >.<)

Don't look at my portrait, please notice the silhouette. Creating silhouette(contrast) for an object is popular, especially in website and advertising. In this entry, I'll introduce to you how to use photoshop to make silhouette (contrast) for objects simply.

Let's start...

Firstly, you have an object and you want to make silhouette.

*Open a new paper with sensible size.

*Open file which contains object.

*Using selection tool to select the object that you want to make silhouette, drag and past to the paper that you have just opened.

*Ctrl (command) + J to make a copied layer

*Select this layer:

_ using edit--->transform---> flip vertical

_using edit---> transform---> distort : click and drag the corner of your object to sensible position.

_decrease opacity to 30%

_layer---->add mask layer--->reveal all

_using Gradient tool, click and drag down a line

That's the final step to make silhouette.

Have Fun.

Good luck!!!
