Good stuff for sure.

Wilkommen Nerinho!

What do you mean by tg?

 

[nerinho]

hey wow .. well, thnx again

by tg I mean: TalkGraphics
that?s where I found 'theKeeper'

 

[Guest]

Yes, that's where I met Mark too.

Ooooooooh, looks like an interesting site! I've bookmarked it and will cruise on by one of these days....

 

[nerinho]

well - another mercator, very easy, fast and just not that perfect .

It?s some Filter-action..

1. filter -> render black and white clouds.
2. filter -> pixelate -> mosaic : 15-25
Filter->Blur->Radial blur: Amount 20, zoom, best (if ur comp can handle best, if not use draft)
3. filter -> brush strokes -> Accented Edges, width 2, brightness 35, smoothness 4.
4. stylize -> find edges
5. invert (ctrl and I)
6. adjust hue/sat (ctrl and u) to change the colours.

Well I have PS in german so I don?t really know if that?s all right. Anyway, now you should have some nice and fuzzy gridlines..
Then filter -> "Distort/Spherize...". and try some steps of the Mercator Tutorial..

greetz, nerinho

Nice one nerinho

I used some of the same techniques in my "Techno Ball" that I did a while back: http://www.photoshopgurus.info/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=811

Verrrrrrrrry nice, nerinho!

?Gaussian: That neon-effekt looks really great. I like the unsharp/glowing lines covering the sharp ones.

? wbiss: At TG-Forums try also the Xara-Forum even if you use only PS. Some guys like GaryPriester & theKeeper & co. are very active there...
Try also searching for 'fire' in Xara - Forums. Found there some great Threads.

 

[Guest]

Yes, I use Xara X too and one of the reasons why I became a member at Talkgraphics.

 

[wbiss]

Thanks nerinho. I just don't know how you guys keep up/active with so many forums? [confused] I do appreciate the suggestion and will 'cruise on by' one of these days, soon...

 

[AppleCider]

Wow, that was some tute!!!!!!!! Thanks, Mark B7

Here's my first effort.Of course I can't leave well enough alone, even following step by step, so I added some color to that gradient layer. I've made a template of the basic mercator so I'll play around with some more effects, maybe something else in the middle

 

[Guest]

Seems to me that you did a good job on this one Julie

 

[wbiss]

Gauss... you're getting a little "blurred" in the brain cell department. That was AppleCider's BEAUTIFUL mercator!

AppleCider.....it looks abolutely fabulous!

 

[Tron]

And he's got the nerve to suggest that I am forgetful

 

[wbiss]

[Guest]

Oops sorry, yes I was getting a bit gaussian blurred [shhh]

I can't remember when I suggested that...

 

[wbiss]

First Wendy... then Judy ...

[Guest]

Trust me, it's better that I make these mistakes on the board and not when I'm talking with my wife [confused] [confused]
