Photoshop Tutorial 1.

[beegee]

One of our rendering gurus, Skisouth, has generously spent time preparing a series of tutorials on enhancing presentation graphics using Photoshop.



In this first tutorial, ski introduces duplicating and stacking layers and applying filters and brushes to those layers.



I personally find these methods very satisfying to experiment with Revit’s in-house renders and shaded views. I think they produce impressive results with relatively minimum effort. Certainly something that would please the boss or that demanding client.



Thanks for taking the time to produce this Ski, I’m looking forward to trying these techniques and to learning more in future tutorials.



Note : Give us some feedback on this tutorial. If everyone likes the idea, there's more to come.

Skisouth, that's pretty good. Photoshop is one of those programs that I just plain suck at, and would love to go do a photoshop crash course and do some digital airbrushing now that I have a pen tablet.

Love to see more.

If you continue to have download problems, email me and I'll send the tutorial to your email address.

Thanks to Beegee, Martin, and Paul for reviewing and commenting to help "clean up" this tutorial. Comments definitely welcome and wanted on content and presentation: i.e. " this wasn't clear", "how would you do this effect" - etc.

[SkiSouth]

for those who have downloaded, any feedback?. Need to know if to work on addtional tutorials or call it off... (not to be impatient or anything )

They look good! I'd add in something about creating Actions, and how you can Batch Process single animation frames to quickly generate 'hand-drawn' animations. We've been experimenting with it here and it works really well (and it's much faster than rendering them). I'd do it but I'm too busy right now...

[SkiSouth]

Jeffrey, you're not gonna get out that easily. Somehow we'll pull that knowledge of yours out to share.
But I'll definitely put it on the to do list. Good suggestion - Thanks.
