PS Tut Videos - requests?

[bdeshazer]

Hey folks, tomorrow I'm going to record a series of free tutorial videos for Adobe Photoshop where I re-create the marquee image I first showed in this thread:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=116054.0

I created the outline today and it looks like it will be 6 videos, hopefully around 10 minutes each. I plan to cover how to work in a non-destructive workflow and cover the use of layers, layersets, layer effects, guides, rulers, masks, image resizing, smart object, styles, etc. I'll primarily be focusing on raster imaging, but will be using a few vector shape layers for some intermediate steps.

Does anyone have any PS requests that you want me to try and add in to these before I get started?

I don't have any specific requests...I must say the artwork you did for your cab is outstanding.  I agree with others in the thread that you appear to have mad Photoshop skills    I look forward to seeing how you did it     I'm actually trying to recreate halo effects like Knievel does on his panels.  I've seen several posts referencing a tips page on Knievel's site that was supposed to show how he did it, but it looks like it's no longer available.  So your video could be just the ticket

Sorry to be so late in replying, holidays kept me busy.

I've got the final outline completed for the tutorials and will be recording the videos over the next week, I'll post them up for free on my Youtube channel and link here.

I found Knievel's site, what specifically do you mean by the "halo effect" you're wanting to emulate? Even if it's not covered by my videos I can probably tell you or show you how to do it in PS...

Yeah, the guy's amazing, long-time fan of his work.

I guess I mis-phrased it...not a halo "effect" but the "halos" (outlines) around the control areas and the outline around the control panel.  I've never really used Photoshop for anything but touching up actual photos so I'm a total noob....I only have PS Elements, do I need the full-blown version of PS to do some of this?  I was messing around with GIMP as well but I have no confidence that I can create artwork that will match up with my CP which I have already cut.

For me the woodworking is the easy part but the artwork is the killer - which seems to be opposite to most of the others on the forums....
