Fire

HOT!! HOT!! HOT!! This episode is smoking hot. By popular demand, Bert works his magic and shows us how to create fire. It is not quite as simple as lighting a match, but as Bert demonstrates, it is not too much more complicated than that.

Woodshop and Metalshop

Watch as Bert manipulates filters, among other things, to create (completely from scratch) a wooden plaque with a brass plate that has a name on it.

Perspective

A very important thing to keep in mind when you're creating images from scratch or even putting things into existing images is the concept of perspective. Bert goes back to basics to teach this concept, starting with a horizon line and adherence to the rules of mother nature.

Banners

No, not advertising banners on websites, but banners in the original sense of the word such as described in the current wikipedia definition: "A banner is a flag or other piece of cloth bearing a symbol, logo, slogan or other message." In this episode, Bert shows how to create a banner that is flowing back on itself with ripples using the pen tool that he described in episode 18.

The Pen Tool

The pen tool is a very powerful tool, but a very misunderstood tool and very difficult to use. Bert spends this entire episode teaching just how the pen tool works.

Displacement

It might take Einstein to help explain the complex physics of bending light, but when it comes to bending pixels, it is an art commonly referred to in Photoshop as displacement. Displacement can let you use the lumonosity values of one image to bend the pixels of another; a "relativity" of sorts. No offense to Einstein, but Bert can explain this one on his own.

Colorizing

Bert shows how to take drawings (like comics) and/or black and white photos and apply color where color does not exist. Amazingly simple and very cool.

Drops of Water

The universal solvent takes center stage as Bert demonstrates how to create realistic looking water droplets and explains how in imaging it is important to study reality in order to re-create it.

Damen Station

This is the most ambitious digital painting of a Chicago scene unveiled at Photoshop World in Miami on March 22, 2006.
It is a panorama of the Damen Station on the Blue Line of the Chicago Transit Authority.
Adobe Illustrator was used for generating the majority of the basic shapes as well as all the buildings in the Chicago skyline.
The rest was created in Photoshop.
• The image size is 40 inches by 120 inches.
• The flattened file weighs in at 1.7 Gigabytes.
• It took eleven months (close to 2,000 hours) to create.
• The painting is comprised of close to fifty individual Photoshop files.
• Taking a cumulative total of all the files, the overall image contains over 15,000 layers.
• Over 500 alpha channels were used for various effects.
• Over 250,000 paths make up the multitude of shapes throughout the scene.





Close-up 1:
The front face of the train was created in its own file. The reflections in the windows were added once the train was placed in position within the overall image.
The side of the train car was created in a separate file. Duplicating that file made it easy to add additional cars.
The duplicates required changing the reflections in the windows, the accumulated grime and the car numbers to make each car appear different.





Close-up 2:
Symbols, text and logos were created in Adobe Illustrator.




Close-up 3:
The grime was created with Spatter brushes, available within the Photoshop brushes palette, which were modified to randomize the effect.
The rust was created with the same Spatter brushes but with Color Dynamics applied. The rust was in a separate layer that was also given a layer style of Inner Shadow to add the dimensional effect of the rust appearing under peeled paint.

Photoshop Reflections

Bert creates reflections from scratch this week with the help of the distortion filter.

This week, Bert adds the illusion of a reflection on an image with three simple methods. First, Bert simply creates a reflection by adding an existing image and adjust the opacity. Second, Bert distorts an image of a ball and match by using the distort: spherize filter. Third, Bert creates a reflection from scratch by using the pen tool and various layer styles.
