Hey, I've been doing graphics related work for several years now, but only now did it land me a job.
Mostly my task is about giving the client a visualization, basically a preview of how his desired logo will look when embossed (or debossed) on the metal surface. My boss tells me that I'm doing a good job, but I know it doesn't look perfectly ideal, so could anyone tell me how I should make these short of effects?
Currently (as I show in the attachments), I always start with making a frontal view of the text, which is what gets commonly explained in tutorials online regarding emboss effects.
Then, I put the image on the tin can.I sometimes toy with the opacity and other effects.
This is considered serviceable. However on closer glance, it is problematic:
For one, it's hard to tell if it's embossed or debossed.
I feel like it's because I still use it as a 2d image with no real depth, while with it meant to be an illusion of a 3d text, it should bend with the perspective, however I have some trouble to wrap my head around that//
Hence I want to ask: Does anyone know a way to make this look much better?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I tried doing something myself, hence the last third image, it's am improvement, but still... maybe someone knows something better?

Hello,
Can someone that knows what they're doing provide me with a tutorial on how to achieve this visual effect?
......Admin edit .... please upload full image rather than off-site redirect.
I am talking about the green image on this flyer with the man who is standing with his back to us, and the faint green text that is superimposed around him.
My photoshop skills are moderate, so I can make all the layers of text and the man. My question is, how do I achieve the green fill that is used in the image.
How do I make the image "green" like that?
Is it a combination of making it grayscale and then replacing grey with green? Or should I use a mask and a translucent fill?
Big thanks in advance!
Hey guys,
So I'm a rather new music producer and I make some wallpapers for my tracks using Photoshop and then put some effects in there using Adobe After Effects.
So I usually just use either a gradient or an image in there, but it's rather hard to find images without copyright that look good and fit the track title.
And gradients kinda look boring (just a few colors that overflow).
So I was wondering how people make these kind of backgrounds:
(quality kinda sucks because I had it on 480p by accident, but you get the point)
Or a bit different style like this:
Or this:
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I know the "READ ME BEFORE POSTING" thread clearly said "rather use img tags instead of linking to external websites" but it kept saying that I exceeded my tags by 20. So yeah, changed it into this. If anyone wants me to upload it to Imgur or something instead I'll do that.
I am very new to Photoshop. I have attached an image of a map.
I would like to remove all of the markers and other things in the image. Ideally I would like to be left with just the map itself. No background or anything like. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to learn through a hands-on approach. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for the help.
I am a designer who primarily uses InDesign and Illustrator and have a client that wants to recreate this gold and black gradient beveled embossed looking rectangle... however they want it in Photoshop. I for the life of me, can't remember how to do this with the gradients and changing colors. Is there someone out there that wouldn't mind giving me a step by step process on how to create that background box? I've attached the image. I know how to add the text, and all of the rest of the info, just needed help creating that outer border.
Thank you!

Hi,
I want to create my own image like the attached. I can create the whirlpool /funnel (or black hole, or whatever it's technically called). I know how to make the color bands and all that.
What I don't know is how to wrap the text. (here's the text is just a zero or one to represent data).
FYI - I have PS CS6
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi People,
Okay, on google earth you have the option to overlay images onto areas of the planet. For me this is useful to see where a cave runs in respect to the overlying land above. It gives you the option to change the Opacity of the overlain image to show more image or more 'earth', which is nice. However I got to thinking and decided to try and remove all the background white of the survey, then overlay it giving a clearer image of the surrounding land. Unfortunately I end up with the the deleted white showing as brickwork (I understand its to show what is gone and whats left in Photoshop) when I overlay to google earth.
My current survey is a TIFF file.
So is it possible to save an edited image in a file type that when overlain wont show the brick image you get on Photoshop of deleted background.
Is there a file type that can achieve this, and if so what is it?
Thanks in advance

I'm trying to duplicate an Oklahoma City Thunder shirt for my university.
I know how to place an image behind text, but I'm having trouble getting it to look like I want. If I use one big text box, I can't get the letters close enough together.
If I use multiple text boxes, I can't get all the clipping masks to come together right.
Is there anyway to nudge the text together like you can in indesign?
Just looking for any help here!
Thanks!
