To the users of Photoshop software for detailed analysis of the use of the mouse to draw the abstract beam effect of the tutorial.
1, we first to make the most basic components of the pattern, the following figure.
2, create a new 1024* 768-pixel document, background filled with black. Create a new group, and use a pen to check out the selections shown in the following illustration to add a mask to the group.
3, create a new layer in the group, select the Gradient tool, color settings such as Figure 3, from the upper right corner of the lower left to pull the linear gradient, and then change the layer opacity to: 20%, the effect is as Figure 4.
4, with a pen to check out the bottom of the high light section of the selection, feather 2 pixels, press CTRL + J the selection section of the color block copy to the new layer, the opacity to: 50%, the effect of the following figure.
5, back to the gradient layer, with a pen to check out the top of the high light selection, feather 3 pixels and press CTRL + J to copy the selection section of the color block to the new layer, the opacity to: 70%, the effect of the following figure.
6, back to the gradient layer, with a pen to check out the selection shown in the following figure, feather 8 pixels, press CTRL + J to copy the selection section of the color block to the new layer, the opacity to: 40%, the effect of the following figure.
7. Create a new group, and use a pen to check out the selections shown in the following image to add a layer mask to the group.
8, create a new group, the previous pull the gradient layer to copy in, the opacity to: 20%, the effect of the following figure.
9, with a pen to check out the left edge of the high light selection, feather 2 pixels and press CTRL + J to copy the selection section of the color block to the new layer, the opacity to: 60%, the following figure.
10, the same method of making the right and the middle part of the high light, the effect of the figure 11,12.
11, the same method of making the other parts of the beam, the process is shown in Figure 13-17.
12, create brightness/Contrast adjustment layer, the appropriate increase contrast degree of contrast, parameters and effects as shown below.
13, hide the background layer, create a new layer, press CTRL + ALT + Shift + E-stamped layer, opacity to: 50%, the effect of the following figure.
14, hide the background layer, create a new layer stamped layer, and then create a new layer below the current layer to fill the black. Copy the stamped layer and flip it horizontally, then connect the two beams and adjust the size appropriately, as shown below.
15, the two beam layer merge, copy a layer, vertical flip, properly adjust the position, the effect of the following figure.
16, create brightness/Contrast adjustment layer, appropriate to increase the contrast of pictures, parameters and effects as shown below.
Finally, the color of the beam can be changed to achieve the final effect.
Well, the above information is small compiled to you photoshop this software users of the detailed mouse drawing abstract beam effect of the full content of the tutorial to share, in general this tutorial introduces more symmetrical beam pattern production methods. The production of the time does not need to do the whole beam, only need to make a part, and then copy, flip, docking and so made more complex beam, hoping to bring useful help to everyone.
