In this tutorial I will show you some special effects that can be applied to a simple rectangular object by playing with the shadows. Obviously I do not mean shadow effect applied on a layer, but real shadows created manually. First draw a rectangle on a layer like this:
Perhaps not everyone knows about the potential of text handling in Photoshop, in particular the fact that it can manipulate text in ways very advanced. For example if we wanted to "bend" text, we would be tempted to use the "Create Warped Text" 
, Which opens a window with these settings:
It was a little 'I suggested that some redesign logos. So this time I have the "plug" with Ilaria Lab !
A note for those who have asked: This is a logo, more precisely a study of a logo, and has nothing to do with the header of your blog - or blogs in question, just for completeness.
David Broad thought that many users often seek very specific topics, and then to read a real book may be too challenging. Hence the idea of developing a series of books very compact (10 to 40 pages maximum), which are readily available both in hard copy, both in download (at a very affordable price).
The topics are always very different; Pillolibri the first 5 are devoted to the following topics:
The Pillolibri are characterized by a clear and direct language, and are available on Lulu , also in full color: the screenshots in this way, but also photos and illustrations accompanying the text, will be much more attractive!
Because of the different rendering across browsers, Microsoft Internet Explorer definitely see that in mind, we must always resort to tricks to apply special effects that now should be a standard. The award-discussed rounded edges are a classic example of "disaster" produced by the complete inability to make a serious standards on page rendering HTML / CSS. , etc… There are many solutions that allow the network to obtain the "effects" (effects of exempting existing HTML as rounded edges, shadow effects, reflections, etc ...) with patches on the leaves of styles, special tricks with the use of div grafted, libraries JavaScript, use of canvas , etc ...
On a purely technical teaching I would like to explain further (cross-browser) to apply the rounded edges of the images:
Adobe is pleased to invite you to the launch events of the Adobe Creative Suite 4. See you in Rome and Milan October 21 October 30. For full details go to the meeting dedicated mini-site events CS4! As a tribute to all participants t-shirts CS4!
I will try to be there ... especially for the T-shirt 
From the Apple Web 2.0 images "reflected" Intrenet flooded. Often abused, however, are always impressive. Know how to make good business is not complicated and, with a Pizzoc of imagination, you can make it less "obvious" and "discount" ... if you can not do without.
First of all let's see how to set up a basic reflection. The technical basis for setting a reflection, at least my favorite and I use all the time, is simple and fast implementation. This method allows the maximum freedom to make changes later, and preserves transparency in case you want to save the image to PNG 24 with transparency.
1. Phosotoshop As always, open and load the image we want to reflect on a specific layer
2. Duplicate our layer (drag the layer icon to duplicate 
) And nominiamolo "shadow" or "reflex"
3. From the "Edit" menu select "Transform" / "Flip Vertical"
4. Drag the new layer "reflex" below the original layer and the base of the original layer spostiamolo
5. We select the layer "reflex" and holding down the ALT key, add a mask by clicking on the icon 
"Masks" in the tool window layer, the layer "reflex" should disappear
6. We select the mask in the layer "reflex" and click on 
Filling
7. We set up a gradient from black or white to transparent: 
8. Draw the gradient from the center of the original layer in the middle layer of the "reflex"
Inaugurate a new section with this post events & initiatives , given the numerous reports that often come to my proposals. Obviously the report it related to the themes of this blog.
" Here come the Guru , "will be held in Rome in October 2008, and sees for the first time ever, the presence in Italy of Martin Evening , leading expert in digital imaging, and author of many successful books on Photoshop, sold all the world.
Given the uniqueness of the event, this year the organization has developed a "tour" of 8 stages, in many Italian cities, whose participation is TOTALLY FREE.
During the various meetings of the Adobe Guru Marianna Santoni , Claudio Marconato , Fruet Titian , and David Broad , will entertain participants with 5 hours of seminars on various topics, from digital photography, design and Web design. There will be 3 stages which will take place in the South (Naples, Bari, Catania), a known "snubbed" by events of great importance. The official website is: http://www.arrivanoiguru.com
