			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We will create the theme of the movie &#8220;Casino Royale&#8221;, movie that I really liked. In this tutorial we will draw the shape of James Bond and try to give it a vectorial touch. Then, by means of ((Gradient Tool)) and 2 images which you will be able to download. The results are very good, I hope you like it.</p>
<p><span id="more-1971"></span></p>
<p>Open the image.</p>
<p>You can download them from: <a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/original.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]">http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/original.jpg</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_001.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_001.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Select ((Pen Tool)) and trace the actor&#8217;s contour.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_002.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_002.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Press Ctrl + Enter to transform the trace into selection.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Fill it in with black.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_003.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_003.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Merge the layer you just filled in invisible. In order to do so, click the eye that appears next to the layer.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_004.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_004.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now with ((Pen Tool)), draw the trace of the white shirt.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_005.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_005.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Press Ctrl + Enter to transform the trace into selection.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Fill in the selection with white.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_006.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_006.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Merge the shirt layer invisible.</p>
<p>Now trace the left side of the untied bun.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_007.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_007.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now press Ctrl + Enter to transform the trace into selection.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Fill in the selection with white.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_008.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_008.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Merge this layer invisible.</p>
<p>Now trace the contour of the right side of the untied bun.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_009.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_009.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)) and fill it in with black.</p>
<p>Merge all the layers visible.</p>
<p>You will have a partial result:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_010.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_010.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)) and place it between the image and the actor&#8217;s contour. Take a look at the image below.</p>
<p>Stand in the layer, select ((Gradient Tool)), ((Linear Gradient)), and trace a vertical gradient as the one you see below, using: #931314 and #000000.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_011.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_011.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

<p>Go back to the document and paste (Ctrl + V) the background underneath the actor&#8217;s silhouette.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_013.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_013.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Reduce the ((Opacity)) to 15%.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_014.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_014.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

<p>Invert the selection. ((Select))-((Inverse)).</p>
<p>Copy it (Ctrl + C).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_015.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_015.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Go back to the document and paste it (Ctrl + V).</p>
<p>Place it in the lower part of the document and reduce the ((Opacity)) to 40%.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_016.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_016.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Open the image with the title of the movie. You can download it by clicking this link: <a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/casino-royale.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]">http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/casino-royale.jpg</a></p>
<p>Press Ctrl + A to select the entire image.</p>
<p>Copy it (Ctrl + C)&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</p>

<p>Finally change the layer style to ((Lighten)) to eliminate the black background.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_020.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_020.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now the &#8220;Casino Royale&#8221; theme is created. See you soon.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/Image_021.jpg" rel="lightbox[1971]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/casino_royale/thumbs_021.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are thousands of ways of trying ((Layer Styles)), that&#8217;s why today I tried until I discovered how to create a Gel-style standard, to be used as a web source.</p>
<p><span id="more-796"></span></p>
<p>Open a new document, 400&#215;300px, and white background.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Choose #3885c0 as the foreground color.</p>
<p>Select ((Shape Tool)) and, from the options bar, choose the standard shape.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_001.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_001.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now go to ((Layer))-((Layer Style))-((Blending Options)).</p>
<p>((Drop Shadow)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_002.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_002.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>((Inner Shadow)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_003.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_003.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>((Inner Glow)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_004.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_004.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>((Gradient Overlay)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_005.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_005.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>((Stroke)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_006.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_006.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>After applying the wide variety of ((Layer Styles)) you will see this:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_007.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_007.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>In a new layer, add a text, element, or logo to which you will be able to apply ((Layer Styles)) as well. In this case I added the Design Owners logo.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_008.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_008.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Double click the layer to go to ((Blending Options)).</p>
<p>((Bevel and Emboss)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_009.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_009.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>((Stroke)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_010.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_010.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>This will be the final result.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/Image_011.jpg" rel="lightbox[796]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/escudo_gel/thumbs_011.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this tutorial we will create a big colorful bubbles invasion. To create the background we will use ((Gradient Tool)) and the filter ((Texturizer)), and to design the bubbles we will use ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)), ((Gradient Overlay)), and ((Stroke)).</p>
<p><span id="more-1952"></span></p>
<p>Open a new document, 800&#215;600px, and transparent background.</p>
<p>Select ((Gradient Tool)), ((Radial Gradient)), to trace a gradient, using the colors #4D799E and #122D43.</p>
<p>The gradient line&#8217;s trayect is pointed with a red arrow.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_001.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_001.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now apply ((Filter))-((Texture))-((Texturizer)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_002.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_002.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>With ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)), draw a circular selection as the one you see below.</p>
<p>Fill it in with black.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_003.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_003.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Double click the layer to open ((Layer Styles)) and apply ((Gradient Overlay)). For this gradient use: #ceb959 and #000000.</p>
<p>TO move the radial gradient downwards, you will have to be in the ((Gradient Overlay)) mode, click and hold the ball and you will see how the gradient moves towards the side we want.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_004.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_004.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>((Stroke)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_005.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_005.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Accept the changes.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s add some shine to the ball:</p>
<p>Now select ((Pen Tool)) and create a trace as the one you see below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_006.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_006.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Press Ctrl + Enter to transform the trace into selection.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Fill in the selection with white.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_007.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_007.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Double click the layer to apply ((Layer Styles)).</p>
<p>((Blending Options)), reduce the ((Fill)) to 0%.</p>
<p>((Gradient Overlay)). Use these colors: #ffffff to transparent&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_008.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_008.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230;and accept the changes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_009.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_009.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Select the layers that form the bubble and drag them into the ((Create a New Layer)) to duplicate them.</p>
<p>I recommend you to place the original layers in a ((New Group)). In order to create a news group, click the button ((Create a New Group)) located in the ((Layers)) drop down menu.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_010.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_010.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Double click the duplicated bubble layer and change the ((Gradient Overlay)). Use these colors #c12810 and #000000.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_011.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_011.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Accept the changes.</p>

<p>Duplicate (Ctrl + J) the layers that form the bubble 4 times and then modify the colors to ((Gradient Overlay)).</p>
<p>BLUE BUBBLE: #5961ce and #000000.</p>
<p>GREEN BUBBLE: #3ed461 and #000000.</p>
<p>VIOLET BUBBLE: #c459ce and #000000.</p>
<p>GREY BUBBLE: #9b9b9b and #000000.</p>
<p>You will see this result.</p>
<p>Note: You won&#8217;t see the blue bubble since it&#8217;s located in the ((Layers)) drop down menu.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_013.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_013.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Duplicate the layers much more times and, with ((Free Transform)) (Ctrl + T), play with the sizes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_014.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_014.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now select all the  layers except for the background, and press Ctrl + E to unify them into an independent layer.</p>
<p>Reduce the ((Opacity)) of the unified layer to 80%.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/Image_015.jpg" rel="lightbox[1952]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolas_coloridas/thumbs_015.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Finally, duplicate the unified layer (Ctrl + J).</p>
<p>Select it and place it underneath the original one.</p>
<p>Reduce the ((Opacity)) to 10% and move the bubbles 15px up and 10px to the right.</p>
<p>Done! Our bubbles invasion is ready!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">This is an efficient logo, with a clean and impressive that you will be able to use to create a Casino&#8217;s logo. In order to design int, we will use ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)), ((Shape Tool)) and a wide variety of ((Layer Styles)): ((Outer Glow)), ((Bevel and Emboss)), ((Gradient Overlay)), ((Stroke)), and ((Drop Shadow)).</p>
<p><span id="more-1930"></span></p>
<p>Open a new document, 450&#215;470px, and transparent background.</p>
<p>Fill it in with color #0B5F07.</p>
<p>For the next 4 steps it will be necessary that you use grids.</p>
<p>In order to place them you need to have the rules activated (Ctrl + R).</p>
<p>Click and hold the rule and drag it towards the center of the document; the grids will appear autoatically.</p>
<p>Place a vertical and a horizontal one.</p>
<p>Choose #11630E as the foreground color.</p>
<p>Select ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)), place the arrow where the grids cross and trace a selection with Alt + Shift pressed, so that itgrows proportionally from the center.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>

<p>Duplicate the layer with the number &#8220;7&#8243; two times (Ctrl + J) and with ((Free Transform)) (Ctrl + T) rotate them, and place them to the flanks of the original layer to get this result.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/logo_casino/Image_023.jpg" rel="lightbox[1930]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/logo_casino/thumbs_023.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are the basic techniques and foundations to create a 3D cube. This is a very easy tutorial, but it will open the door to different creations, such as houses, buildings, boxes, and more. The key will be the use of ((Free Transform)), exactly: ((Skew)) and ((Distort)). To create the light effect we will use ((Gradient Overlay)) and ((Color Overlay)).</p>
<p><span id="more-1996"></span></p>
<p>Open a new document, 300&#215;300px, and white background.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Select ((Rectangular Marquee Tool)), ((Style)): Fixed Size: 125&#215;125px.</p>
<p>Click once anywhere in the document and the selection will be created automatically.</p>
<p>Fill it in with color #001be3.</p>

<p>Now go to ((Edit))-((Transform))-((Skew)). Click the flanks of the square and drag it down.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/Image_002.jpg" rel="lightbox[1996]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/thumbs_002.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Double click the layer to go to ((Layer Styles)) and apply ((Gradient Overlay)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/Image_003.jpg" rel="lightbox[1996]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/thumbs_003.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

<p>Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J).</p>
<p>Apply ((Edit))-((Transform))-((Flip Horizontal)).</p>
<p>Arrange the layer to the right side of the cube.</p>
<p>Modify the fill color: #2558ff.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/Image_006.jpg" rel="lightbox[1996]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/thumbs_006.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now Ctrl + Click the right side of the cube (the first layer you created) to activate the selection.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Fill it in with color #2558ff.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/Image_008.jpg" rel="lightbox[1996]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/thumbs_008.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Create the superior base of the cube.</p>
<p>Go to ((Edit))-((Transform))-((Distort)) and create the following movement&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/Image_009.jpg" rel="lightbox[1996]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/thumbs_009.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230;keep modifying until it looks like this.</p>
<p>Press Enter to accept.</p>

<p>Finally, double click the layer to open ((Layer Styles)) and apply ((Color Overlay)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/Image_012.jpg" rel="lightbox[1996]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/cubo_3d/thumbs_012.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Accept the changes and see the final results.<br />
It looks pretty real don&#8217;t you think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s turn the face of a person into a statue. We just need a marble texture to create the statue and a brick texture to use it as the background.</p>
<p><span id="more-1934"></span></p>
<p>First of all you need the image of a person. I recommend you to choose a picture in which the person doesn&#8217;t have a hair-do nor the hair all over the face.</p>
<p>I found this image at  <a href="http://www.sxc.hu/">http://www.sxc.hu/</a></p>

<p>Trace the same type of line, vertically.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/estrella_vectorial/Image_002.jpg" rel="lightbox[413]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/estrella_vectorial/thumbs_002.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J).</p>
<p>Select the duplicated layer, then press Ctrl + T -((Free Transform))- and, from the options bar placed in the superior part of the window, enter 45º as the rotation value. Press ENTER.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/estrella_vectorial/Image_003.jpg" rel="lightbox[413]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/estrella_vectorial/thumbs_003.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

<p>Press Ctrl + T and enter 22,2º as the rotation value. Press ENTER.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/estrella_vectorial/Image_004.jpg" rel="lightbox[413]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/estrella_vectorial/thumbs_004.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Select the 2 superior layers and press Ctrl + E to unify them.</p>
<p>Now press Ctrl + T and enter 11,3º as rotation values. Then press ((Enter)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/estrella_vectorial/Image_006.jpg" rel="lightbox[413]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/estrella_vectorial/thumbs_006.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Go to ((Filter))-((Distort))-((Twirl)). ((Angle)): 50º.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/estrella_vectorial/Image_007.jpg" rel="lightbox[413]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/estrella_vectorial/thumbs_007.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J) and go to ((Image))-((Transform))-((Flip Horizontal)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/estrella_vectorial/Image_008.jpg" rel="lightbox[413]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/estrella_vectorial/thumbs_008.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Press Ctrl + E to unify the layers.</p>
<p>The following step is optional. If you want to colorize the star, Ctrl + Click the layer to activate the selection and create a gradient using ((Gradient Tool)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/estrella_vectorial/Image_009.jpg" rel="lightbox[413]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/estrella_vectorial/thumbs_009.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this tutorial we will use ((Brushes)), ((Pen Tool)), ((Masks)), Filters, and some other techniques. The point is creating a sandwich pack. The effect is very realistic. I hope you like it.</p>
<p><span id="more-1218"></span></p>
<p>We will first place the background, this time we will use a wooden texture. You will be able to download it from <a href="http://www.cgtextures.com/">HERE</a>.</p>
<p>Open a new document, 1200&#215;1200px, and place the image of the texture.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_001.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_001.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Download the image of these fruits by clicking <a href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1097383">HERE</a> and open it in Photoshop.</p>
<p>Then with ((Pen Tool)) or ((Polygonal Lazo Tool)), trace the fruits&#8217; contour.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_002.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_002.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>With ((Free Transform)) (Ctrl + T), reduce the size of the fruits. The idea is that there is an important distance between the fruits and the document&#8217;s borders.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_003.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_003.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Double click the image to apply ((Layer Styles)).</p>
<p>((Drop Shadow)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_004.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_004.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Accept the changes.</p>
<p>Now with ((Pen Tool)), trace the pack&#8217;s contour. You can download an image of those packs in Google, which can make the job easier.</p>
<p>Press Ctrl + Enter to transform the trace into selection.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_005.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_005.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)) and place it underneath the fruits.</p>
<p>Choose white as the foreground color and medium grey as background.</p>
<p>Then go to menu ((Filter))-((Rener))-((Coluds)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_006.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_006.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now apply ((Filter))-((Artistic))-((Plastic Wrap)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_007.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_007.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Reduce the ((Opacity)) to 25%.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_008.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_008.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Go to ((Layer))-((Layer Mask))-((Reveal All)). As you will see, the mask is white, so you will have to use black in order to erase.</p>
<p>Select ((Brush Tool)), 120px, ((Hardness): 0%, black as foreground color, stand in the mask layer and erase the central areas leaving the flanks visible.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_009.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_009.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>In this step, we will create the superior part of the pack. The technique is similar.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)) and place it above the other ones. Repeat the previous steps: ((Shape)), ((Clouds)), ((Plastic Wrap)) y ((Layer Mask)). Then reduce the opacity to 30%.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_010.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_010.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now we will create the plastic bevel.</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)) and place it above the other ones.</p>
<p>Press D to reset the colors to black and white.</p>
<p>Press Ctrl + Click the pack&#8217;s layer to activate the selection.</p>
<p>Then go to ((Filter))-((Render))-((Clouds)). Afterwards, ((Filter))-((Render))-((Difference Clouds)). Now press Ctrl + F to repeat the last filter 2, 3 or 4 more times.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_011.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_011.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Go to menu ((Filter))-((Artistic))-((Plastic Wrap)).</p>
<p>Then ((Filter))-((Distort))-((Spherize)). (Amount: 100%).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_013.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_013.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Now change the layer style to ((Lighten)).</p>
<p>There is a lot of brightness. We will create a ((Layer Mask)) and erase the unnecessary shines, specially the ones that surround the pack.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_014.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_014.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)) and place it underneath the other ones.</p>
<p>Ctrl + Click the layer to activate the selection.</p>
<p>Fill it in with black.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_015.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_015.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>With ((Move Tool)), move the black selection about 15 or 20px downwards and to the right.</p>
<p>Now apply ((Filter))-((Blur))-((Gaussean Blur)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_016.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_016.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)) and place it above the other one.</p>
<p>Choose white as the foreground color.</p>
<p>Ctrl + Click the pack to activate the selection.<br />
Go to ((Select))-((Modify))-((Border)): 1px.</p>
<p>Press Alt + Backspace to fill in the selection with white.</p>
<p>Then reduce the ((Opacity)) to 25%.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_017.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_017.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)) and place it above the other ones.</p>
<p>With ((Penn Tool)) trace the lines of closure of the pack.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_018.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_018.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Choose ((Brush Tool)), 2px, and ((Hardness)): 100%.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_019.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_019.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Go to ((Window))-((Path)) to see the trace palette.</p>
<p>Right click the traces you created and choose ((Stroke Path)), ((Brush)) from the drop down menu.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_020.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_020.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J) 3 more times and apply different opacity levels.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_021.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_021.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)) and bring it to the front.</p>
<p>Create another trace in the superior part of the pack, ((Brush Tool)), 20px, and choose  #fbd816 as the foreground color.</p>
<p>Go back to the traces&#8217; palette, right click the trace and select ((Stroke Path)), ((Brush)), and accept.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_022.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_022.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Right click the layer to apply ((Layer Styles)).</p>
<p>((Inner Glow)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_023.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_023.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>((Bevel and Emboss)).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_024.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_024.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Accept the changes, duplicate the layer, (Ctrl + J) and place it a few pixels downwards.</p>
<p>Then you will see my final result, I hope you liked it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/Image_025.jpg" rel="lightbox[1218]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/bolsa_ziploc/thumbs_025.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s create a very realistic icon of a USB flash memory. In order to create its contour, we will use ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)) and ((Polygonal Lazo Tool)), with the help of ((Grid)). We will also use ((Layer Styles)): ((Drop Shadow)), ((Inner Glow)), ((Bevel and Emboss)), ((Gradient Overlay)), and ((Stroke)).</p>
<p><span id="more-1245"></span></p>
<p>To begin, we will activate the grids. ((View))-((Show))-((Grid)).</p>
<p>Select ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)), ((Add To Selection)) to trace both circles as shown in the image below. Press and hold Alt while you do so.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/memoria_flash_usb/Image_001.jpg" rel="lightbox[1245]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/memoria_flash_usb/thumbs_001.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Then with ((Rectangular Marquee Tool)), ((Add To Selection)), draw a rectangular selection from the middle of the circle to the other side.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/memoria_flash_usb/Image_002.jpg" rel="lightbox[1245]"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.caminocreativo.com/images/memoria_flash_usb/thumbs_002.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>You can now remove the grids. Go back to ((View))-((Show))-((Grid)).</p>
<p>Create a ((New Layer)).</p>
<p>Fill in the selection with white.</p>
<p>((Drop Shadow)).</p>
