I had alittle trouble with the font so I just downloaded the one you used lol

Thanks for the Tutorial though

 

[C4]

That's very good guys, perfect start if you're new to Photoshop! I love the outcomes, rep added to both of you. :v:

Beer, change your text colour it's almost invisible. You have also repeated the same brushing over and over again on the layers and the background doesn't go so good. I suppose you didn't use the colour balance as well? But it's all good, you just downloaded Photoshop today and made your first two attempts today... compared to those this is very good. Keep trying.

Actually, lol, I have an excuse, when putting it through Macro media It did not recognize the colours for some reason and took them away, in the originals they are there.

What I really want is a match preview tutorial though...


PS-Once you download the fonts/brushes, how do you use them in Photoshop?

Select the brush tool and from the brushes drop down menu go to: Options > Load > LoadBrushes and select your brushes, the one's which you have downloaded.

Thanks alot, what about fonts?

Thanks alot, what about fonts?

Extract the fonts if they are in .rar or .zip format when downloaded. Copy them to your Windows Directory. If you have Windows installed on C then copy the fonts and paste them to :C>Windows>Fonts, paste the font over there and it will install itself and will show up in Photoshop, Notepad, MS Word... whatever.

I'm having more troubles with brushes and such

I've DLed them just fine, but when I go to load them, they don't appear. I don't really get it. And when I extract the fonts I'm not sure how to get to C:>Windows

Any help?

Well i usally extract the font or fonts to desktop and then i open up control panel and then go to fonts and then just drag them into the folder and make sure you are in the admin of the computer

*Edit*
Here is my Atempt at the Tutorial

If you've downloaded them in .rar format then extract them and open up Photoshop then load them the same way I told you earlier, Brushes>Load Brushes browse to the brushes you downloaded and click OK now you can work with them... if the problem still sticks with you then tell me.

And when I extract the fonts I'm not sure how to get to C:>Windows

Copy the font file, go to C>Windows>Fonts and then paste it over there.
