0 Old Oak Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Just a question.... when i do the first step, the eclipse tool, and with the foreground black... and over the white background filled... my circle looks jaggy on the borders, and i dont know why can it be. I mean i maybe can find another way to do it, but its just a general question, cause that ussually happens to me everytime i use the bucket. And i didnt used the bucket to fill the circle, i just did exactly how you explain it on this tutorial... anyone knows what can it be? I did it step by step following the tut.... It looks like this... Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/173582-tutorial-orbglass-effect/page/2/#findComment-2252128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GamonC Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 n00dle, I visited your site looking for more tutorials. I've seen some good tutorials and I've seen some poor ones. You lead the tutorials as someone teaching to the lowest common denomonator, which is really good for most people looking for tutorials, like myself. Any ETA on getting your tutorials on your www site?

0 chema Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 Thanks for that metal_dragon... GamonC and Old Oak, you guys are right I haven't uploaded my tutorials to my site yet, but as soon as I get some free time to work on my site I'l do it. SOrry about it it's just that I finished classes a couple days ago and a lot of jobs have poped out here where I live and I'm pretty busy at the moment. :/ Thanks a lot for the comments! Later! :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/173582-tutorial-orbglass-effect/page/2/#findComment-2260357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 foneroot Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 (edited) I get sort of stuck on your seventh step. You say to open the gradient editor by selecting the tool and then double-clicking on the little gradient image in the top left corner. I do this, and nothing happens. You're supposed to creating this gradient on the "Orb" layer, correct? Also if this is supposed to be completed on the Orb later, when I try to apply any type of gradient, it does not allow it. I'm using PS CS for the record.

0 chema Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 You guys are right... Aster you have the selection done, make a new layer above the orb and apply the gradient in the new layer...

It sliped my mind, I might fix it later :) Well, its ok bro, dont worry about it. This kind of begginers-medium tutorial, its hard to choose what to write down or not when you are doing the tut. I mean you know what you are doing very well, but when you try to explain it, you just cant have in mind or imagine what comes out when another person read it and try to do it. Like me, i.e. with the anchor at the bottom of the square. Those are just details... i mean, im kinda n00b with photoshop and i didnt know about those 2 aditional functions of the pen :) Excellent tutorial by the way, i'd really like to see more of this kinds, very well explained and neat and clean. Note: Also i have an idea... moderators should do "The definitive Neowin tutorials thread" and problem solved... ppl could go inside that thread and read aaaall the stickys ... and also we can order them into diff categories, like logos, reflexions, etc. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/173582-tutorial-orbglass-effect/page/2/#findComment-2262073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
