awesome again.

Nice and siple..Keep up.

Very nice effects!

Great one, I wonder just whether I should just use it as a simple header and lose originality, or try to fine tune it a bit and find it another use.

And Fabio, you think another category “requests” should be added?

just great!
your tut come to my reader in a perfect time.
thanks a lot, fabio.

I think not quite same quality of finish, but good job!

Good indeed..

Very good tutorial. Thank you.

no words

Very simpele but very cool…

Simple but nice

Thats the bee’s knees man!

Wow.. Thats just Great !!.
How about adding some Gaussian Blur to it ? It will look more like MSNBC Header .. Just a suggestion

Nice tutorial!

Request for another: I’d like to see a tutorial of how to create an image that looks like if it was in some kind of way hand made. It’s difficult to explain, but see the following examples:

soo simple, and soo cool

Hello!
I like your tuts very much, tanks!

I’d like to know something about this effect:

…if it is possible

thanks

Nice one.
Btw, I posted something very similar to this in the “A cool lighting effect” tutorial (http://psdtuts.com/tutorials-effects/a-cool-lighting-effect-in-photoshop/). It was a comment to Mahalie’s question about the “rainbow vertical lighting effect” seen at MSNBC.

Very Nice!
Not that difficult like other tutorials on this site, but sure one off the best looking!
Keep up the good work!

How do you do that. its a simple instruction and a great result. keep on doing this lovely site

Fabio very nice made tutorial.If your offer still stands…
Can you explain this kind of effect ? Can it be done in Photoshop ?

http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=9054912007ins_31.jpg

I like it, many colors, but still nice!

very nice! thanks again!

Love how this site is actually listening to its readers. Gonna try this out today!

Real nice.

Nice Tut Fabio.

Just to throw in my two cents. An alternative to a gradient overlay is to use a number of radial gradients in separate layers. Just set them to overlay, and voila, almost identical effect.

Its the same result, just a slightly different way to get there. Each have their positive and negative aspects.

Cheers,

much simpler than my way. thanks.

request: the windows vista login background effect

cheers.

This effect may be easy to do, so excuse me if it is I am new to this. Look at the 3D effect here – http://dragoninteractive.com/ – it looks like you could rest the content area on top of it. Any tips, directions, etc on how to do this. Great site btw.

Very nice tutorial!

Nice tutorial – great that you’re taking requests too! I’ll have to think of something

Just tried this one out – quite simple to achieve, but the effect’s great.

Thanks!

Very cool. Very animate-able (in photohshop even! )

Great tutorial. This site has become a daily stop for me while I’m at work, as well as the first site I tell others to go to when they’re learning Photoshop. I’ve been using PS for about 10 years now, and I’ve never come across so many useful tutorials.

Thanks again!

Simply WOW!!!! =D

i request help on the HTML for submitting a tutorial…that’s all i’d like

…for now

If you are running in CS3, you can click the refine edge button after making a selection and mess around with the sliders. I found that if you increase the radius slider, then you get a smoother design like Fabio got in his final result. Simple, yet effective tutorial!

Thanks a lot for the comments and for the requests, they will help us a lot.

@alberto: I saw your tutorial I think a couple of days after I sent the tutorial to psdtuts, very cool. It’s the same technique even though there are other ways to do the same thing.

@S: I wrote a tutorial last year showing how to create an effect like that, take a look at http://www.abduzeedo.com/displace-filter-vector-effects. It’s not exactly like that but Im sure it can be done using the same technique and filters.

Really nice tutorial. Great job Fabio.!

Nice tutorial u r gr8

*If you have an effect you want to know how to achieve, just let us know in the comments and we will try to write a tutorial about it.*

could u find out how they did this

Very very Nice …

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Fabulous! Thank you!

fabio,
http://www.abduzeedo.com/displace-filter-vector-effects.
doesn’t work for me (maybe only happens to me)……..

btw, awasome tutorials……….
http://www.abduzeedo.com/displ

S: I think that effect its done with displacement map photoshop’s technique
(something like that http://wirestyle.deviantart.com/art/Drift-Solo-Remix-26471659)
in computer arts webpage you can find that tutorial (http://www.computerarts.co.uk/tutorials/2d__and__photoshop/displacement_effects). and in http://wirestyle.deviantart.com/gallery/ you can find, (and maybe asking few questions) to wirestyle (the guy who make that displacement tutorial)

thanks for the link Fabio !

I’m curious as to how do you produce the explosion effect as seen in Nick Ainley’s work “keep it together”, “black dog” and “icarus”. http://www.shinybinary.com/

This is the effect when an item is blown apart and the image captures that particular moment. I’ve searched hi and low all over the internet and couldn’t find any info on it. Does this effect require some 3D program or can it be done entirely in Photoshop? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

The link is http://www.abduzeedo.com/displace-filter-vector-effects without the “.”

Sorry, my mistake.

thanks ………………….

nice work!

BEAUTIFUL! Thanks a lot.

You worte: “Double click on the background layer to open the Layer Styles”. Sorry, but double clicking on the Background layer doesn’t open the Layer Styles. As it is locked by default. I noticed that you always write this. I hope I am mistaken in this. But when you double click on the Background Layer, it will open New Layer dialog box. Please, correct me if I am wrong. I know what you mean, but it is not done as you described in here as this could be confusing for newbies.

Nevertheless, This is one of the nicest tutorials I’ve ever seen, thanks a lot.

Very cool effect and easy to understand tutorial!

As mentioned earlier, I was collecting input on just this technique. I just used this tutorial and modified it slightly by duplicating the gradient overlay layer and applying screen to the bottom and linear dodge to the top to achieve that higher contrast glow-ey effect. Many folks offered tutorials and ideas, I’ll be playing with this quite a bit myself as I just like the look but want to come up with something significantly different than the MSNBC header. THANKS AGAIN! This site is the bayste! (That’s Nacho Libre for ‘best’).

Very useful! I used this tutorial in class today as an example for my fellow fullsail students

very nice tutorial!

but i’d like to know if you can make a tutorial about doing this kind of light line effect…
http://www.flickr.com/photos/kamilos/2301832529/in/pool-psdtuts

thank you and good job!

Excellent tutorial! Keep up the good work.

I usually dont comment tutorial sites, but when I do so, it means its pretty solid.
Nice use of creativity and photoshop skills.
Lately the best tutorials Ive seen are to be found at psdtuts, from abduzeedo especially.
Great going, hope to see more of this quality stuff.

Great tutorial, thanks

great! – thanks alot, i’ll try it right now

That’s the first time ever I Must admit those kind of tutorials are well done ! I’ve juste browsed the whole content of your site, and it’s amazing how it’s well explained. You really made things different with so nice tutorials ! Thanks again Fabio

Cédric from France

nice tutorial

keep on

@San: Double click on the background layer to bring up the “New Layer” dialog. Click “OK”. This will unlock the background layer, and you can apply layer styles and such to it.

Hi, this tutotial is excellent. I like it. But please tell me what is the name of the font.

thanks for the tut…. a already used it as my desktop! hehe… ^^,

Great tutorial folks! – i recently redesigned my website – and used this tutorial for the basis of the header (and footer) of the new website – have a look http://www.mozami.net

great
and yes a request is coming 4 smoke
there is a lot of fire ones out there but not many smoke ones
cheers

Excellent tutorial. Thanks very much.

Another thing that looks cool, instead of the Fibers, I tried some monochrome noise, came out with some smaller lines that look nice

Awesome technique, thanks for sharing!

very nice

Thanks for Posting.
Great Tut.

Great job and impressive one.

Appreciate your tutorials. Someone who finally publishes professional tutorials for Photoshop users.
One thing tho…. I always get confused with these. You never mention if you make a new layer or not. Makes a user to guess and to experiment. Would like to see tutorials more in detail.

Other than that. Thanks for posting and making such great, useful website as psdtuts.com

hey cool!

good effect and easy to make.

Well done!

~FixedHDD

Great tutorial, thanks a lot..

nice..
very cool and smart

VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY NICE

THANKS !!

Extremely amazing effect! I love it! Looks very good with transparent text too =D Thanks alot for making this tut.

Everything was going fine until Step 3 arrived. The “fibers” option was greyed(locked) when I tried to use it. I am on CS3. I hope I have done some mistake.

Anybody to correct me?

I have followed this tut a few times and have just published it as a background on a new website, see the image at : http://theledlightingcompany.co.uk/

Steps are basically the same, but I repeated Step 6 on a new layer, but a bit inside the edge of the original then added a pixel texture layer and tweaked around with opacity to get it to look right.

Comments welcomed, keep up the good work fella, inspirational!!!

very nice !!

Nice and fool proof tutorial!

Thanks

GREAT…!
Good Luck My Dear Friend.

TNX MY FRIEND. WAS HELPFUL.
