Recall that when you created the logo in my third tutorial you used Photoshop’s blending options to add a more graphical look and feel to your image. Let’s do the same with our selection. Perform the following: Right-click on the web header layer and select Blending Options in the submenu that appears. Check the Drop Shadow, Bevel and Emboss, and Pattern Overlay check boxes.

Right-click on the path with one of the Pen tools or Path Selection tools. A submenu displays. Select Make Selection from this menu. You’ll notice the path now displays the marching ants effect (or a moving dotted line).Filling a Selection with Color In the toolbox, double-click the Foreground Color option. The Color Picker dialog box displays. Enter the following in the RGB text fields

You’ve already explored the Pen tool a little in this tutorial. The Pen tool and the Freehand Pen tool contain similar functionality in that they both allow you to draw paths. The difference with these two tools is preference. The Pen tool provides you with some help in drawing (I personally need all the help I can get). The Freehand Pen tool provides no help in drawing; it’s almost as

Photoshop’s Path Selection tools reside directly above the Pen tools on the toolbox, as shown in figure below. The Path Selection tools allow you to edit your paths. Not happy with the way your path turned out? No problem. The Path Selection tools allow you to change, push, and pull the different areas of your path as needed. The Path Selection tools consist of the following: Path

Select the Pen tool. In the options bar, make sure you’ve selected the Paths option. Tip  I think it’s easier to start with paths when using the Pen tool, even if you’re using it to create shapes. When using the Pen tool with the Shapes layer selected, you’ll find that Photoshop begins to color in your image. Sometimes, this is distracting (especially if it seems Photoshop is filling

Many people can’t stand Photoshop’s Pen tool when they’re first learning to use it. The Pen tool seems awkward and complex at first. You’ll scream and say “this thing’s impossible to use,” and wonder why there’s such a large section dedicated to this tool. But stick with it; you’ll get the hang of it. And then you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it. It’s like learning to ride a

Perhaps one of the most important areas of any website is its header image.

With the Marquee tools, you have several options. You can create new selections, add to or subtract from already created selections, or create a selection from an area where two selections intersect.  The following list summarizes the use of these options. You’ll get some hands-on experience with these options in a moment. New Selection: This is the default option whenever you select and

Now that you’ve got these images opened, let’s begin. We’re going to combine these into a single image you’ll use as a web page title bar within your website.Let’s design for an 800x600 screen resolution (a good standard to use nowadays). As mentioned in first tutorial, this size also ensures that we leave room for the web browser and that users won’t have to scroll to view your web page.

In the previous tutorial, you jumped into selections by creating a web button. In this chapter, we’ll continue exploring the power of selections — specifically how you can use them to isolate and combine existing images.Rather than create images from scratch, web designers save time by grabbing and tweaking existing images. These existing images might come from many sources, including

You’ve probably seen rollover effects on the World Wide Web. An image changes when a visitor passes the mouse over an area of an image. Rollovers involve switching one image for another.With your bing_home.psd button open in Photoshop, perform the following: Hold down the Shift key. Click the Circle layer and the Home layer.

 Looking at the blue color of your button, you might feel it’s a little too bold. (For some reason all that blue makes me think of clowns or cartoons.) It just doesn’t feel right for a lawyer’s website.We can change things up a little bit by exploring Photoshop’s preset styles. Styles are Photoshop designs you can apply to an entire layer. These preset styles contain a number of

Photoshop’s Selection tools, as shown in figure below allow you to manipulate images. This might involve moving an image around the image window or cutting out a part of some larger image to use in your website. Table below defines Photoshop’s Selection tools. You’ll learn more about these tools in this and the next couple of tutorials. Understanding Photoshop’s Selection tools

Web buttons are images that allow users to navigate a website. Web buttons should complement the look and feel of your website, as well as allow visitors to navigate through your site easily.Unfortunately, many websites often do one of the following: Use either flat or boring web buttons. Use graphical buttons that don’t match the style of the rest of the website. Don’t use web buttons at

In the previous tutorials, you created an image using text and a custom shape. You then added some effects to your newly created layers. You’re probably ready now to take your web images to the next level. You want to learn to create shapes, as well as isolate parts of existing images. To do all that, you’ll need to use selections - another important area of Photoshop for the web

Although there aren’t many layers to keep track of with this logo, you’ll find the more complex the images you create the more you’ll need to know how to manage layers.

Photoshop styles are snazzy graphical looks you can apply to your images. Photoshop contains several preset patterns available for your layers, grouped into multiple libraries. Right-click on the Background layer, and select Blending Options from the submenu that appears. You’ll notice the Bevel and Emboss check box already marked from before.

Layer styles are cool visual effects you can add to each layer of your image. Specifically, there are two options you can apply to layers. These are Blending Options: This option allows you to alter the way colors blend within your layers. There are 10 blending options you can apply to layers: Drop shadow Inner shadow Outer glow Inner glow Bevel and emboss Satin Color overlay Gradient

Photoshop creates all new files with a locked Background layer, as shown in figure below. Unlike regular layers, a locked layer cannot be changed until it is unlocked. For example, you can’t move it, apply transparency, or apply layer adjustments. Let’s unlock this layer.Unlocking Layers Open the Bing_logo.psd file if it is not already open.

As mentioned in the last tutorial, think of layers as pieces of transparent paper. Each layer in a Photoshop image is essentially an entire image itself. By combining these layer images together, you get a composite created of several individual images. If it’s not open already, fire up the Bing logo file you created in the last tutorial. Then, open the Layers palette if it’s not open

For digital images, there are two basic formats: bitmap images and vector images. This can be a tricky subject, but one that’s bound to come up the more you work with graphics — especially those designed for use on web pages. Let’s start by talking about bitmap images — the most common type, and the type you’ll use for most of your web design work. Bitmap Images Bitmap images (sometimes

Digital images are a web designer’s stock-in-trade. Yet, if the images repulse or annoy people — no matter how informative the content of the site — they’ll never give your web page the time of day. Thus, before jumping into your web design efforts, it’s helpful to familiarize yourself with some digital image basics.

Michelangelo understood architecture and the human body. Beethoven understood pianos and violins. As a creative type, it’s important you understand a little about the medium for which you’ll be designing — specifically, the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web is made up of a system of Internet servers that supports hypertext. Hypertext objects (text, pictures, music, programs) are elements on web

Not to be overly dramatic, but the World Wide Web is one of modern society’s sterling achievements. It’s everywhere — from the home to the classroom. We use it to communicate at work or to waste some hours playing at night. The World Wide Web’s something that’s always there — accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
