MY NAME IS ABBEX U CAN ADD ME ON FACE BOOK PLS HELP ME WITH THIS  THANKS

[AJEasy]

@Abbex14 All you need to do is check out the Stamp tool, Soft and Healing brush, the Patch tool, and the Blur Tool. When you need to make some face look better, I find these tools work very well.

[Areus]

@Abbex14 thats simple, use the clone tool

[GarlynX]

[CURRENTLY2HIGH]

50 Cent is a beast ass rapper, he aint the best but his flow is ridiculous.

[Tettuli]

@CURRENTLY2HIGH 50 cent sucks, fuck new mainstream (c)rap

[CURRENTLY2HIGH]

@Tettuli I like his Flow. Its probably the best flow in mainstream. And I don't usually hate on mainstream, unless its like that techno shit. But 50 Cent doesn't suck, he way better than Lil' Wayne, and Young Money

[Tettuli]

@CURRENTLY2HIGH well, i do agree, that he is way better than lil wayne and other shit like that, sry, i thought that you are some typical kid, who listens to everything, that is mainstream

[CURRENTLY2HIGH]

@Tettuli Nahhh, if I listen to Lil Wayne it'd be his OLD mixtapes.

[MrKANO19]

can someone plz make me a mixtape cover Im not good with photoshop!! plzzzzz!!

[Nova3457]

I DONT HAVE A PAINT BUCKET TOOL



[ericklandiamix]

@Nova3457 Its the gradient tool click on it till a small window shows up beside it and choose bucket tool

[movie7buff]

@Nova3457 You do have a Paint Bucket Tool. Right click on the Gradient Tool and select the Paint Bucket. :)

[Crashnburn771]

In all honesty an album cover should be original and creative, not a compilation of internet images IMO

[MrCellTv]

YOU SUCK AT PHOTOSHOP JUST FUCKING QUIT !!

[shaunrobinson20]

YOU GUYS ON HERE ARE A TRIP. CREATIVE AS HELL, BUT YOU ALL LEAVE OUT IMPORTANT INFO. YOU DO THINGS WITHOUT EXPLAINING THE WHAT, WHY AND HOW OF THE PROCESS. YOU SHOULD NEVER BRING IN PRE PROCESSED MATERIL INTO YOUR SEGMENT. WHY? BECAUSE 9 OUT OF 10 THATS THE STEP WE NEED TO SEE. I'M SPENDING MORE TIME WRITING COMMENTS THAN I AM LEARNING ANYTHING. THANX A LOT. TENMAN

[xLilCap]

YO can you please make me ay CD Cover for my album please.?

[YoungMikeyMusic]

Can You Make Me A MixTape Cover For My Mix Tape. Tell Me At YoungMikeyMusic@Yahoo.Com Thanks Bro.

[shybella]

Hey I saw that image you deleted that looked like a city? I think you used it to show how to do that Jadakiss cover. Where's that video at? I'm trying to understand how you blended that, it was cool how you did it.

[samohtnotsriah]

hey you should help me out and make my cd cover for me...

[ThatBoyJosee]

@samohtnotsriah iKuldd Makee It For You,

Juss Tell Me How You Want It Ndd Ill Get To It,

iGot Sum Sampless Of My Workk If Your Interestedd.

[saulhiphop]

a good idea for making cd covers is to take your own photos and not take other peoples. as a photographer we work hard photographing and for people to come along and use them freely is quite unfair. i know it happens and always will but its always nicer and more original to try and take your own pictures

[wtfisthathoedoing]

@Tezlaze you can site the website lol like u would when u write papers for college classes lol so that way u can give them credit

[southsidespitje]

if you 'realy' dont like 50, why you put it than. lul nub and nub video :D

[rsn123miz]

[rsn123miz]

whats the background called ? stalk ?

[Eugene01231]

[Yezzir305]

@MrThesweetness

[RainProductions2010]

@Yezzir305 i like 50 cent, you hurt my feelings, lolz jk i like him tho

[Astromatic3000]

@Yezzir305 man aint nobody learning shit if you not explain everything all you assholes is juss doin stuff, tell me how to get a pic to the lil sqaures wtf is a my-stock and ect man youtube aint no help.

[NesioTV]

Why are people hating on this? it's a fucking tutorial for those beginners. but yet you have somelow life cocky so-called graphic designers thinking they can do better but they don't show it nor post videos.

[Sukhime]

@Tezlaze

Eh yeah because he is working for a company and using random pictures from the internet....

Is not copyright if you are not getting any profit from it. Jeez, so what graphic design students would be getting sued left and right then? -.-

[soundtrack795]

very very very nice tutorial! thank you so much!

[Mariellhg]

were did you get those pictures? Your very good!

[izmalcheahmad]

is it the actual size of CD cover? what about the back cover?

[RocckkerWorld]

Do You How To Efficiently Print Out Album Covers ? 

[myniakal333]

i love ur accent no homo

[UrbnGrRL]

@myniakal333 that was really homo. roflmao

[Jessemaijones]

@Tezlaze I think you're talking about copyright which is a delicate issue that he clearly hasn't considered. If you're designing a CD cover for promotional purposes and someone intends to SELL these CDs you gotta BUY/MAKE the images yourself or use images that are under CREATIVE COMMONS licencing. Of course you can edit pictures so much that the copyright is void but gah its a complex issue xx

[DJgalan360]

friend you could give me the link where the copies pictures thank you very much

[jrice317]

Hey can u tell me the steps to download the stocks and good tutorial

[realvideos1]

ay this feria i make music an i was looken for some that knows what there doing doing an it seems like u do so hit me back up u can get hold of on my space.underdogstlio1@aol.com get at me my we can do someing thing.

[Mr9102010]

y wen i print my cd covers. dey come out darker than they look on my computer

[Yezzir305]

@Tezlaze

who says its illegal?

if the website i get it from isnt shut down, then its not illegal and im doing nothing wrong.

[thatsfornoobs]

@Yezzir305 bacause the image could belong to someone else (copyright)

[MJFanSinger]

@Yezzir305 Or just take the pictures yourself.

[flyliketails]

@Yezzir305 If you actually use the image for something serious like a real album cover, it must be royalty free.

[drumline5]

yeah. . . this guy is awesome

[michiganois]

You are a natural teacher. I appreciate the link reference information, as well. Very clear, practical and user-friendly.

[simplesandy]

man your good

[z0mgrugbyreturns]

Looks shit. Typical amateur mixtape type garbage.

A CD cover should take your hours, if not days or even weeks. Not 60 seconds. This isn't art.

[KiddGuap]

can u please make me one... ima rapper

[ThaSpiderInternetsho]

i like ur channel cool dude

[Yaz3689yaz]

[KiDGh0sTnHaRmOnY]

Last night i was bringing stuff in off of offical psds with no prob like i didnt have to cut or nuthn and today i bring stuff in and its like the picture and a black box behind it help me out lol

[DLoLyricalStar]

@Tezlaze You cant get sued once you've edited the image on photoshop because it can no longer compare to the original photo but if you use someone else's picture of somebody like the 50cent one and miss represent him in anyway (and this is just an example it could be anyone) if he felt like he was being taking the piss out of he could try and sue but this is very very........very very ...........Rare and nearly never happens.

[FlowVipTv]

[kissingsnakes]

just a tip... (great video btw) but make it 300 DPI not 72 as you are most likely going to be printing it. and 72 is web quality not really acceptable for print. also change to CMKY.

:)

[BrolyTheRiot]

Thanks a lot man real helpful video

[Pvtchrislee07]

your awesome brother

[sinfulz0r]

Nice tutorial but I cannot drag and drop a picture into ps.

A cross icon appears and doesn't let me, i've tried renaming the layer and unlocking it.

Still doesn't work, any help will be appreciative

[Yezzir305]

you need firefox or flock to drag and drop. If you dont have those then you have to copy and paste

[legacyent17]

@Yezzir305 i got the copy part but how do you paste them on there

[2pacismtshizznit12]

Great job.  I now better understand why we need the gradient map and for what purposes because I was puzzled about that for a while, so thanks!!!!!

[BigHush]

Wow, I need photoshop. Great video!

[StraitJacket4Two]

So how do you get the colors back to normal after the gradient part??

[ThatNatalieGirl]

this was helpful.

i love your accent, btw.

[Yezzir305]

[ThatNatalieGirl]

it's endearing.

[hparishurley]

i dont have the paint bucket tool =(

[StraitJacket4Two]

Good Tutorial. I have learn a few things.

I did not catch one thing though and could use your help.

I did not catch what you said at about 4:25 where you got the colors back to normal.

Shrug.

Any help here on that?

I did like the Gradient option to blend the layers together, thanks!

If it matters, I'm using Win Vista.

Thanks for your time.

[SuperAl19]

50cent's head looks like it was photoshoped lol
