Create a Wallpaper Background
Salutations Students. Let's start by creating a new document. I'm going to use a Height of 600 pixels and a Width of 800 Pixels. This is Canada so you can choose whatever size you want. Next I right click on the background layer and click "Layer from background"

Still with me? Ok, Good. Now we can right click on our new layer from background, and choose "blending options" at the top of the list. Now I'm going to choose a "color overlay". Now you can click on the color box beside "normal" and choose a color. Choose a dark color because our light effects will show up better. I'll choose a darkish red.
Our next step is to go to the Googling Machine and choose a photo we want to put into our background. I'm going to find a picture of Everyone's favourite Team Canada Goalie, Carey Price. Save your picture somewhere on your computer. Next go back to Photoshop, and click FILE and then OPEN. Find the picture that you just saved and it should open in a new selection. Next use your Quick Selection Tool and highlight the parts of the picture you want to keep. A dotted line shows what you selected.
NOTE: You might have to use the LASSO or Magic Wand to help you select your picture
TIP: Holding down SHIFT adds to your selection. HOLDING "ALT" minuses your selection.

Now go back to your coloured background and create a new layer. You can click down on the layer task (I circled it in the picture) or just right click and select new layer
We can now drag our Gold medal winning picture of Carey Price onto our newly created layer. Click on the move tool at the top. and drag it into your background tab.
Drag it all the way up to your background layer and drop it in the middle by letting go
Next right click on your picture and go to BLENDING OPTIONS
Now tick the OUTER GLOW box on the left
Now tick the OUTER GLOW box on the left
NEXT click on the drop down bar and change it from NORMAL to COLOR DODGE. This should give you a coloured glow that matches your picture
Next right click on your image and select duplicate layer. Now you have 2 Gold Medal winning goaltenders. Now drag your layer 1 copy so it's under the Original.
Now with the copy under the original, use the move toolbar on the top left toolbar and select the move tool again. Move the picture to the left so you can see a duplicate.
With the copy still selected, go to the top and select FILTER then go down to BLUR and then MOTION BLUR
Now create another new layer like before by click on the shortcut circled in red. Move it under the copy layer.
NEXT go to the top and select FILTER --> RENDER --> CLOUDS

Step 2: Import an image where you want to create a lighting effect around. I have chosen the spectacular Carver Phoenix, pride and tasteful, soaring through the skies. Soar oh Phoenix, Soar.

Step 3: High Five someone, then using the ellipses or any other shape that looks beatutiful, create a shape on the area where you want to light up the world like nobody.
NOW with the shape selected, go up to the top Gaussian Blur (Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur)
I chose 21 pixels because we live in a free democratic society.

Step 5
NOW I created I want to create some sparks. I can either create a new file and scatter some point to do a define brush preset (Like the other tutorials we did in class) or click on the brush, and at the toolbar you'll find the Master Brush Presets
For realistic sparks, I choose Scatter. Now when I draw out my sparks, they will be scattered in random places for a better effect.
I also change the colour overlay to give it some flare, but make sure you turn down the opacity

Smoke Effect PHOTO MANIPULATION
STEP 1:Step 1: Find a photo of someone that you'd like to use. I have chosen a handsome photo of one of the carver students. OR Choose a photo of yourself, or find one on the google machine.
IF there is a background, You can select the magic wand tool to delete the background so only the face shows.

Step 2
Our next step involves creating brushes with a process very similar to our Font Stamping/brush presets.
For this step, I found a picture of smoke on the Googling device. Make sure the image you use has a white background. This will make life easier, and you won't have to put your hand up and keep asking for help.

APPLYING A TEXTURE STEP 1Photoshop Tutorial Yay
Step 1: Open Photoshop CS6 and create a new document. I am using 7 x 5 inches for the dimensions. You can use any size you want because we live in a democratic country. Hooray. After, Use the Horizontal Type Tool (T) add a text. I used "CARVER" for this tutorial. You can use your name or any object you want STEP 2STEP 2: Using the inovation of this thing called "Internet" Find any kind of surface / Texture you want. For this tutorial, I will choose...BRICKS! Oh Yeah! Save the Picture somewhere, then go back to photo shop and go to File->Open. Now Using the move tool bar at the top left tool bar Drag it into the Tab with your text. Make sure it covers the text.
Step 3Go to the Layers Panel (Similar to the Layer in FLASH) and select the text layer. Right Click on the [ T ] of the thumbnail of the layer and select "Select Pixel". A dotted marquee selection will be added using the text as reference. You should see it infront of your Bricks now. You can move the text around to find a good area of your TEXTURE / Bricks.
Now Select your Brick Layer on the right side. NEXT On the Top Bar Besides FILE and EDIT and IMAGE you will see a Drop Down for LAYERS. Scroll down to Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal Selection. STEP 4Now Select your Brick Layer on the right side. NEXT On the Top Bar Besides FILE and EDIT and IMAGE you will see a Drop Down for LAYERS. Scroll down to Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal Selection.
TADA... You did it You applied a texture to something...that was kind of easy. Now I want you to try this with some objects. You can even try putting an Orange Peel Texture on the Apple Logo. Have Fun with it.
