Question, When you do the displace, are you displacing by itself, or a sparks layer?

Copy Visible>aste as a new layer>displace filter. Then set the blend range/mode to "Lighten".

Then you erase what you don't want, and there ya go!

Hey one more question how did you make your text look like that?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

CobraGFX In reply to Fro0zie [2008-07-05 14:46:20 +0000 UTC]

Look like what? Oh, that. I just duplicated it, made a new layer filled with black, then clipping masked it. Since the black was underneath, I blurred it a bit.

Hey Nice Tutorial!!! by the way what brush did you use to smudge those bars?

CobraGFX In reply to Fro0zie [2008-07-05 05:13:09 +0000 UTC]

I believe it was just a small hard square or circle brush mate.

Thanks!

Very nice, original idea with the rectangular boxes. This gave me some inspiration for sigs, so it really helped.

And while I'm here, what text do you use?

CobraGFX In reply to sugarpoultry [2008-03-27 02:45:31 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the comment! I appreciate it.

If you're talking about my text in this tutorial, I'm not sure what the title text is, but the rest was all "Sans". I usually use "Sans", "Century Gothic", basically the simple ones. Nothing too fancy.

sugarpoultry In reply to CobraGFX [2008-03-28 20:42:01 +0000 UTC]

Sweet. I need to experiment with using simple text.

Yeah, usually simpler is better, I find.
