Tutorial : Create a picture from text (colored)

Here is a small addition to this tutorial, which showed you how to transform a regular picture into a picture that is created only from text in black & white. In the following HowTo I am going to be showing you how to achieve the same effect while keeping the colors of the original picture. The reason I am separating this, is because it uses a quite different technique.



Here are two different examples :

Okay let's get started !

Difficulty : Very Easy

1.) Open a picture that you want to transform

I'm going to show you how to create the simple but nice looking effect yourself and if you experiment with some settings you might get a really cool result. Soooo let's get started ! 

Create your own Wallpaper #1 : Rainbow

There are so many ways on creating nice HD wallpapers yourself in Photoshop, so I figured I would post a tutorial series on it. Today starting with a rainbow/spectrum wallpaper. I've seen alot of abstract wallpapers that look like this but here's how you create one yourself that is fully customizable to your own tastes.

So this is what a result could look like after following this tutorial :

• First step as always create a new File in Photoshop with the resolution of your current screen resolution ( mine's 1920x1080 px )
• Unlock your Background layer by double clicking on it 
• Select the Gradient Tool (Hotkey : G) and create a black and white gradient form the bottom to the top. To do so click somewhere on the bottom of the image, hold shift and drag up until the upper edge of your background. 
• You should be looking at something like this  : 

• Next go to Filter > Distort > Wave
• In the upcoming window change the number of generators to 10 and the Type to "Square" and press OK.

Result so far : 

Tutorial : Black and White in Photoshop

This time I'm going to post a pretty easy one.
It's how to do Black/White Pictures in Photoshop. A friend recently requested me to edit a picture for him (TalesFromBombay). The task was, to isolate a certain part in the picture and let it be in color while the rest of the picture should be black and white. This effect is pretty useful to make certain things stand out (e.g. a single person standing in a crowded place)

With that being said, let's begin  :
