The Music. WHY?

[ohndray]

@latinofication

Well... i like drum and bass. Sorry you don't enjoy it. Hope the vid was helpful in some way to you.

[latinofication]

@ohndray hey mate, i have no memory of that comment above. guess one of my friends decided to do somekind of youtube-rape, anyway i DID find the video helpful.

[VieaRisse]

hi can you tell me how did you clear the background? thanks. (new at photoshop xD)

[ohndray]

There's a "magic wand" tool i use. It works best if you have a green or blue screen/background behind the subject. This is the easiest way to have a blank background.

The other way around it is to carefully erase the background. There are many ways to do this... many many ways.

I suggest you just practice! I definitely didn't get all of this right away... learn what's best for you and have fun with it!

can u make a tutorial on how to make multilayer stencils for GIMP?????!!!!!

please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ohndray]

I'll have to learn how to do that first. My time is consumed by a lot of different things also. BUT... I do plan on getting something up soon.

[ohndray]

good news... look forward to a GIMP tutorial... I've been messing around with it (the mac version) for a little bit and i feel like i can make something that people can follow. Thanks for your interest!

[sum1outder09]

does any one know how to make a multilayer stencil in GIMP?

[boomanja1]

Hey, your vidio is great andy really usefull - thanks.

I just need to ask you something, I may soun dstupid but is there a particular Photoshop program I should buy or what...???

Reply would be great, thanks

:D

[ohndray]

No such thing as a stupid question! Any photoshop program will do.... I'm using CS2 in the vid. Whatever you can get your hands on will work. try ebay... with caution of course. Good luck!

[boomanja1]

thanks man...

[weakassproductions]

if you cant find a photoshop program that you like or can afford, check out the program GIMP. Great software and its free. Theres acouple of good tutorials on getting the same effect on that program. Either one will work.

[ohndray]

Gimp is great! I've been messing with it for a while and it's a great tool. I'll be doing a vid real soon using it. probably the best image tool for free... well not probably... definitely the best free tool out

[gotbad]

Makes it look so easy to do! Another great learning experience my friend.

By far the best tutorial. Thanks!

[ohndray]

thank you!

[PaslaruCostel]

Thank you for this video as well. :)

[ohndray]

thanks for the comment!

[HskClothing]

thank you

[SaroRock]

last last question(s), so threshold is obviously the way to do the 2 layers, but how would i get it to do 3+ layers (like a black and grey on white, or multiple shades of grey)

[ohndray]

I'm not too experienced there...there are some other tuts around i'm sure would help you a lot.

[SaroRock]

well i just got cs2 and it looks a little differenly set up as the way youre using. the principals are the same, im just having a hard time clearing out all the other shit in the background, and the eraser doesnt work like i thought it would...or maybe im doin it wrong

[ohndray]

if you're taking pictures of people...like friends...put them in front of a green or blue background. then you can use the magic wand and erase it all at once. Or practice with the tracing tool and pen tool. You'll get it eventually. Not like i learned over night. Good luck!

[SaroRock]

i wish i understood how to use pshop, itd make street art so much easier haha

[ohndray]

Learn man! haha...you wont regret it.

[trsspidey]

I've never seen a tut using this technique. Adjusting individual parts of the image using the threshold instead of just adjusting the entire image in one shot.... Very slick! :D

[ohndray]

THANKS! It just lets you get a lot more detail in.

[0ut0fR34ch]

Or use GIMP if you dont have ps. Its free and pretty much has everything ps have.

[ohndray]

really? thanks for the info...i'll check it out.

[mlars]

Great stuff man.

[twichentertainments]

wut program are you useing i cant do this with paint and i donn owtu else to use:S

[ohndray]

i'm using photoshop cs2 in this vid.

[twichentertainments]

where abouts can i find that?

[qawsed1992]

this was best tut ive watched so far i think

and dillinja and skibadee was a good add on i think :/

[2gfx]

Idot, turn that crap music off next time, no video tutorial should have it.

[ohndray]

you're right...i'm such an idot.

[emjaymoggs]

are you ?

[warlord90210]

Who cares if he has music on in the background... Oh and ohndray kinda owned him "idot" isn't "idiot" in case you didn't know. Go ohndray!

[emjaymoggs]
