Mix Cool Retro Curves Into Your Photographs
May 6th in Effects by Fabio
I'm a huge fan of James White's work. I love the way he plays with geometric elements and colors. It gives a retro feeling to the design, but at the same time he uses a modern approach. In an interview, he mentioned that he uses a Flash script to generate the vector shapes. Then he does the rest of the job in Illustrator and Photoshop.
Well, inspired by James's designs, I decided to figure out my own way of creating that type of effect in Photoshop. In this tutorial, I show you how to mix cool retro geometric shapes into your photos.
I am a Brazilian designer living in Porto Alegre (south of Brazil).
In 2003, I founded a web design studio called ZEE, with Fabiano Meneghetti, an architect and friend of mine. It's a small studio now, with 4 people working basically with web.
Final Image Preview
Before we get started, let's take a look at the image we'll be creating. Click the screenshot below to view the full-size image. As always, the full Photoshop file is available via our PSDTUTS Plus membership.
Step 1
Download the image at http://www.sxc.hu/photo/876777. Then place it in a new document in Photoshop. I used 1440px by 900px document size.
Step 2
Go to Layer>Layer Style>Color Overlay. Use Soft Light for the Blend Mode. Apply a Brown color (#8b5c01).
Step 3
Next, we'll create a brush that will be used to make the shapes. Select the Rectangle Tool(U) and create a black rectangle. Then go to Edit>Transform Path>Skew. After that, go to Layer>Rasterize. Use the image below for reference.
Step 4
Right-click on the thumbnail of the layer and choose Select Pixels. Then go to Edit>Define Brush Preset, and create a brush. Rename it to PSDTUTS. After that go to the Brushes Engine (Window>Brushes) and edit the PSDTUTS brush we've just created. Use the settings below.
Step 5
Create a new layer and go to Layer>Layer Style. Let's apply some styles to the layer. We will use Gradient Overlay, Drop Shadow, and Inner Shadow. After that, with the Brush Tool(B), click a couple of times to create some shapes.
Step 6
Right-click the layer on the Layers Palette. Choose Copy Layer Style. Then create a new layer. Right-click the new layer again. Now select Paste Layer Style. After that, with the Brush Tool, click a couple more times to create additional shapes.
Step 7
Repeat Step 6 again two more times.
Step 8
Select all layers we used to create the geometric shapes and go to Layer>Merge Layers. Then go to Edit>Transform>Rotate. After that resize the layer as shown below.
Step 9
Now go to Edit>Transform>Warp. Start moving the mesh in order to create a wave form. The idea is to make the lines pass in front and behind the legs. This adds to the dimensionality of the effect.
Step 10
With the Polygonal Lasso Tool(L), create a marquee selection of the leg you want to stay in front of the shapes. Then select the shapes layer, and go to Layer>Layer Mask>Hide Selection.
Step 11
Create a new layer above the shapes layer and right-click on it. Then select Create a Clipping Mask. After that, select the Brush Tool (B) and a basic brush with 0% hardness. We will create a highlight on the shapes layer. Click once where you want to start the line. Then while holding Shift, click where you want to finish the line. This will create a straight line with the Brush Tool. The Blend mode will be Normal with 60% Opacity.
Step 12
Repeat Step 11, but this time use black, and from another position. Change the Opacity to 40%.
Step 13
Create a new layer in front of all layers. Fill it with white. Then go to Filter>Noise>Add Noise. Use 4% for the amount. After that, change the Blend Mode of the layer to Multiply.
Step 14
Place another image in front of the other layers but behind the Noise layer. You can find the image I used at http://www.sxc.hu/photo/982364. Then resize the image and change the Blend Mode to Multiply.
Conclusion
One of the best features in Photoshop is the Brush Engine. We can create lots of effects using it. In this tutorial we used it to create rectangular shapes similar to those seen in James White's work. You can even use rounded corners or different shapes. Play with the effect and have fun.

Im having a problem with step 10 with the polygon lasso tool. Im use to using the pen tool for selections but I thought I would give it a try this way. It’s only that I’m not really being successful. Is there a trick to getting a good selection or is it that you have to be very very precise with your mouse? Any help would be appreciated.
( )madewira May 8th
simple tutorial, but amazing result
( )great!
Maulik Soni May 8th
Why don’t you mention the Photoshop applicaiton version number at the top of the article. There are some features describe in the article does found in older version of photoshop. Its a simple one line at top. Ex. Photoshop Version : CS3
This will help the reader whether the article is useful for him or not, because he has older version of photoshop.
( )Nightfirecat May 8th
Cool, but I didn’t like the step where the rectangles were darkened… And also, the noise on top of the picture seemed a bit unnecessary, but the making of those rectangles and adding the texture was amazing! I love this, and I’ll be sure to use effects like this one more than once.
( )Helmy May 8th

Amazing tutorial, but I’m having problems ar Step 4 as well. Any insight on this would be great. Keep up the great work! =]
( )GreenSaints May 10th
Hi,
I was getting troubles with Step 4 on CS3 and I think I worked out why.
I wanted to make this into an A1 poster (841×594mm) and the reason why my rectangle wasn’t made into a brush was because the brush size can only be 2500×2500px.
If you make the document size the size as the tutorial says (1440×900px) it works – well for me anyway!
Hope this helps
p.s. AWESOME Tutorial! Love your work as always

“I did step 4 but how come my brush engine is deactivated unlike the window shown on your step 4 image.”
make sure your brush tool is selected
still not sure how his brush has a 3d perspective on the 2nd part of step 4.

Hey, my Photoshop doesnt have the warp tool on edit>transform….is it CS3?

( )Ian Castro June 8th
On step 3, I can not rasterize my layer. I use the rectangle tool 1st, make the rectangle, skew it, then fill the path with black. Then I try to layer>rasterize, the option is grayed out.
I don’t know if I will comeback and check this soon because I’m quite busy this week, emailing me the solution will be a great help though.

:O Awesome
( )John Smith June 11th
Ok what the hell. Can anyone explain why in Step4, in the Shape Dynamics section, I cant get the lines to tilt towards me? I have CS3, and im following the steps exactly, but the lines only face straight up and down…
( )Gav June 12th
Fantastic tutorial! Did have a few problems to begin with but worked those out. Just can’t for the life of me figure out how you got the brush angled in part 2 of step 4??
Anyone have any ideas?
( )Amanda June 13th
Haven’t been able to finish the tutorial due to some of the features I don’t have with Adobe CS. Going to try again later on my other computer, which has CS2. I was hoping you could add some additional help for folks with older versions?
( )Amanda June 16th
So I finished the tutorial with CS2, save for completing all of Step 4 like a few others had troubles with. It looks awesome, thanks for sharing your wisdom!!
( )Fahim Akhter June 16th
Really Classsy tutorial the last time I saw this warp was like yesterday on a telenor Ad. They used a black and white picture with a bit darker shade of blue than sky blue worked really well and pretty.
( )LaurenMarie - Creative Curio June 20th
@those having trouble with getting the strokes to angle towards you:
With that screenshot he is using a Wacom tablet (either Intuos or Cintiq) that has the capabilities to angle the brush based on pen tilt. Notice under Angle Jitter it is set to Pen Tilt? You actually don’t want that, though, because it’ll angle the strokes all funny, which is not the final result for step 5.
( )Alec June 20th
Thx for answering me.. And the problem was solved, it will be the same outcome even if you don’t get that 3d look in step 4..

I followed your tutorial exactly but when I got to the point where you set the brush preset, then open up the brushes window it is all greyed out and I can’t do anything. What should I do?
PS I’m new to Photoshop, but I’m very skilled at Gimp, but it is such a different interface.
( )Christine October 29th
I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.
( )John July 17th
I did read step 4 and all he says is to to Skew. What heck, where do you want me to skew from? the left bottom corner? the bottom middle?
Its not detailed which makes my effect when I go to the preset brush come out awful
( )pia July 18th
So amazing~But I want to know which version of the PS do you use?? Because i can not find the “warp” in my PS CS 8.01..~

( )nitsirk817 July 27th
For anyone having issues with the ‘Define Brush Preset’ option being GRAYED OUT: CS2/3 can make a brush up to 2500 px in size. CS is just 1009 px. Try drawing your rectangle a bit smaller and once it’s within those size restrictions, your define brush option will be live.
( )Amanda July 28th

nice tut although there are some steps that are nto well explained. for example. when applying in step 11 the highlight…. do u have to paint with white or with black? when u apply the clipping mask nothing shows. it would be nice if you can also show the layers palette as we work to compare. thanks!

Can anyone tell me how, in step 4, to get the brush to look “tilted” as if it’s 3d? I put in all the presets but it still looks upright to me.
( )Tom March 1st
Here is my stab at it. My photo (panorama), with my graphics. I think it is the best on the page, to be honest:
http://flickr.com/photos/fudged71/2513375518/
I thought “dontknowwhattoput”’s was very original, though.
( )justin March 18th
i found that first creating a long rectangle (like here) and skewing it in illustrator, then copying and pasting it in photoshop has a much cleaner effect. great tut though. i learned alot from this.
( )Labeed Assidmi March 23rd
This is such an important tutorial. Thanks
( )Kai April 11th
I’m a beginner to photoshop and i’m stuck on Step 3…where do you make the rectangle? on a new layer or…? and also the option to rasterize afterwards is all greyed out…im confused =( if anyone knows could you please leave a comment? thanks!
( )fabus May 8th
you make the rectangle with the “rectangle tool” (just press “u”) afterwards you can change the parameters at the very top of the screen.
( )new layer is created with layer->new (shift+cmd+n).
a layer needs content to be able to be rasterized. so when you drawed the rectangle it should work with clicking right on the shape symbol …

I can’t seem to edit the brush. All the options are blanked out and I have followed every step in the documentation/

at the beginning it didn’t work with my cs3 as well. but after playing around with loading brushes, saving the created brush as set, loading it in again – finally it worked.

I simply love retro curves. I especially like the way it includes the geometric elements and colors. The tutorial is really very helpful. Thanks for sharing it.
