第三课 在photoshop怎样创建玻璃般的刻字风格 In this tutorial, were going to use some super layer effects and a bit of extra magic to make a lettering style that looks transparent and stunning. Because there is so much use of layer styles, you need to download the sample PSD from the link at the bottom of the tutorial in order to follow along. Step 1: BACKGROUND LAYER To begin this tutorial, well first give ourselves a nice background gradient. Now while most gradients are two-color, in Photoshop you can actually make much more complex gradients by clicking on the Gradient icon in the top left. Youll get a panel showing the gradient and you can add more colors to it. In this case, Ive used three colors to make a gradual change from green to a set of blues. Multi-color gradients can make for a stunning background. Ive used a Radial Gradient and centered it to the bottom right. The colors Ive used are: Color 1 - #2e5b15Color 2 - #103533Color 3 - #090e13 Step 2: Now we need a letter. Ive used the letter Q because its my favorite, particularly in this serifed style. This is from the font Adobe Caslon Pro which I suspect came with my Photoshop install--although who knows, I have way to many fonts to remember! Give your letter a nice blue- green color. Ive used #41a993. Step 3: Now after this, I basically went through all the different types of layer styles and just experimented with them all. You can produce some really wicked combinations with a bit of trying out. The main things I did here were: Decrease Fill Opacity to 20%. Fill Opacity makes the layer transparent WITHOUT making the styles transparent. Note that this is DIFFERENT to Opacity which just makes everything see-through. Another thing I did was to try changing angles around, using different blending modes, and building the layers up slowly. In any case, you can see all the exact settings by downloading the sample PSD file from the link on the top right. You can then right click that layer and hit Copy Layer Styles if y
