Undock the Brushes Preset palette by dragging on it's tab so that it will stay open

Below the sample brush window is a Create new brush icon, click it, name the brush and save it
7 Test the new brush

Setting the Diameter to 116 px, the Spacing to 190%, Scatter to 0%, and Count
to 14, we get this unusual brush below

CREATING TOXIC WASTE EFFECTS USING PHOTOSHOP 7S NEW
BRUSH FEATURES
By Colin Smith
This week we are going to look at creating a text effect using the new scatter brush option This effect is simple to create and its not limited to text, you could create some great background effects with this technique
Start with some text on a new layer
Render the type so we can modify it freely
Select quickmask mode
Under brushes, choose one of the presets that use the scattering option
Pain through the text using the brush
Press the "Q" key to switch off the quickmask You will now see a selection
Trang 5You will need to inverse the selection Ctrl/Cmd+Shfit+I
Press the delete/backspace key to cut into the text
If you want a stronger effect press the del key again Here I pressed it 3 times
Add a standard drop shadow in the layer styles and choose a bevel similar to shown Be sure to change the gloss contour
Change the color overlay to a bright green color
And here is our effect!
If you want to go a step further add a 1 pixel stroke using layer styles
This creates a very interesting effect
Experiment with this effect and see what you can come up with Terrain maps for 3D come to mind

Trang 6Crystal Craze in Photoshop
There seems to be this huge craze on crystals going around the design world
Originally the crystals were created in a 3D program and imported to Photoshop where all kinds of coolness is added In this tutorial I will show you an easy way to create these crystals in Photoshop We are using Version 7 but it works the same for all versions including CS
By Colin Smith www.photoshopcafe.com
Create a new document.Mine was 300X200 pixels You would probably want something larger Modify all the settings for a larger
image size Experiment
Create a new layer
With the Polygon lasso tool, draw your rough shape Notice that in Photoshop 6 you can draw off the canvas When you get to the start/finish point you will see a little circle As soon as you click on the start point, the entire shape will b loaded as a selection
Fill with a dark color Here I chose blue
Don't deselect
Now we want to add a gradient, use this method:
Select>modify>contract
I entered 6 pixels If you are using a larger image size, consider 10 or even 15
