Stylish Blending Options


Therefore, lets begin,

Now that we've created a new document, lets put on some style!

Now, you will "unlock" background by double clicking, and name it Stylish Background as shown below:

Now go: Window > Styles and the menu should pop up as the one shown below:

In this tutorial we will go over every style, explaining in detail about the effects of every style, and then show you how to create your own styles!

Style Icon Style Name Style Example (In Button/Image/Texture/Text accordingly)
image 5 Default Style (None) None
image 6 Color Target (Button) image 7
image 8 Double Ring Glow (Button) image 9
image 10 Striped Cone (Button) image 11
image 12 Blue Glass (Button) image 13
image 14 Negative (Image) image 15
image 16 Puzzle (Image) image 17
image 18 Sepia Tone (Image) image 19
image 20 Sun Faded Photo (Image) image 21
image 22 Blanket (Texture) image 23
image 24 Nebula (Texture) image 25
image 26 Sunspots (Texture) image 27
image 28 Tie-dried Silk (Texture) image 29
image 30 Chiseled Sky (Text) image 31
image 32 Chromed Satin (Text) image 33
image 34 Overspray (Text) image 35
image 36 Sunset Sky (Text) image 37
image 38 Basic Drop Shadow image 39
image 40 1 Px Stroke 0% Fill Opacity image 41
image 42 1 Px Stroke 100% Fill Opacity image 43

Now, we will create our own design.

Write whatever you wish in plain black. I'm going to continue using "Cool"

Now we go to Blendign Options, and will set the settings below:

image 47

Now, press OK, your image should look like mine, below, we will add it to our Styles.

image 48

Now, click in the New Style button in the Style Menu.

image 49

Name it anything you want, mine is named "Red Darkness (Text)"

image 50

Now, your style menu should look like below (with a new style).

image 51

The last one is the layer you just created. If you don't see it like this, but with a scroll down bar, just make your style menu a bit bigger so you can see all the styles at once.

Now click on the arrow shown above, and choose "Save Styles"

image 53

Save it to any name you wish, and whenever you wish to load it, either use load or replace styles. It is better to use repalce, as if you load it, you may get repeated brushes, especially if you have the predetermined ones only and only wish to load your new brush.

That's it!



About the Author:

I'm 16. Well, I started doing websites in 6th grade, because the students in my grade weren't exactly organized, and had trouble keeping track of what we had to do. That's when I started making websites. In my July vacations, I decided to make another website, educating new Photoshop users to the program, and that's how StartPhotoshop.com originated. I hope you find my tutorials useful, thanks!
