Tutorial #2

Sci-Fi/Futuristic Genre

Time Spent: 1 hour
Total amount of sprites/images used: 3

STEP 1: Place desired images on canvas.
step 1

STEP 2: Erase background of person w/ the Magic Wand Tool, Quick Selection Tool, and Eraser. Be sure to use Refine Edge if you desire a smoother edge. I would suggest using Eraser for small details and the Selection Tool for larger, mostly because details just require more precision.
step 2

STEP 3: Apply PSD colorings. I tried adding a lighting texture to this one, but it just didn't work.
step 3

STEP 4: Shrunk the person's render to make way for the text. Place text layers behind the person, and be sure to space it correctly so that the text is still readable.
step 4

STEP 5: Duplicate layers of the text and set them on Overlay blending mode, erase part of the text that's on Normal blending mode to give way to the Overlay. I went for a long diamond pattern. Also threw in the finishing touches, like stars on the person and my logo. This is the finished product.
step 5

Tutorial #3

Historical/Fantasy/Romance/Action Genre

Time Spent: 1.5 hours
Total amount of sprites/images used: 4

STEP 1: Place desired images on canvas.
step 1

STEP 2: Erase background of person. Refer to Tutorial #2, Step 2 for exact explanations of how to do so/with what tools. Also split ink circle in half, duplicating the bottom half and moving the layer above that of the person so that it creates a more 3D effect.
step 2

STEP 3: Apply PSD colorings. I used 2 this time to create a dull but vibrant color tone. Also used Film Grain in Filter Gallery to apply a dusty/old effect.
step 3

STEP 4: Finish off w/ text. I set text on Overlay again to give a colored glow effect. Add in a border with the Rectangle Tool as well, similarly setting it onto Overlay for the blending mode. You may need to duplicate the text layers multiple times so that the Overlay doesn't fade into the background.
step 4

BONUS STEP: To create an alternate version, delete the layer with the person on and arrange everything else to create a visually appealing effect. Blur BG with the Smudge tool to make the text stand out more.

Estatica I think it would be fine, as long as you're not using it for commercial purposes.

      How to crop the image and make it as background? which tools from PhotoShop CS3 should I use?
      MY PS version is older :(

        SweetsTomato I'm not familiar with CS3, but does it have layers? If it has layers, you would move the background to the layer on the very bottom. To crop, as long a your canvas is the right size, since it's just the background layer, try using CTRL+T to select the layer and resize/scale it to your liking!

        Hope that helps!
