Photoshop Tutorial : Lighting Effect

This tutorial talks about how to make lighting effect that combine with any kind of picture will produce a great-powerfull image :D . this tutorial is in english . use http://translate.google.com to translate it into language you know :)

---

BEGIN :D

Create a new document, any size. I used 800x600px. Fill the background layer with black. After that, place your photo in the center of the document.

---

Step 2

Select the Polygonal Lasso Tool (L) and select the girl. When you complete the selection process, go to Select > Refine Edge. A dialog box will open with some settings. Select to preview the image on black, and make some adjustments until you find a nice result. Add a bit of feather, radius, and expand the selection. Then press OK.

---

Step 3

Invert the selection, Select > Inverse and delete the background of the photo. After that, go to Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen and the Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Set 2% for the noise amount.

---

Step 4 - Breaking Apart

With the Lasso Tool (L), select the girl’s leg like I did, then go to Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All. After that, select the Paint Bucket Tool (G) and fill the selection with black. Make sure that you paint the selection.

---

Step 5

Here we will need some brushes. You can find good brushes at brusheezy.com. I used a set of brushes called Blood-grunge.

Select the Brush Tool (B) and white for the color. Pick one of the brushes. I used the first one of the set and reduce its size to 300 or less. After that, start painting the hidden leg. You will need just a few clicks with the brush tool to get a good result.

---

Step 6

The previous step broke apart the leg, but the shatters didn’t spread like a real explosion. So in order to do that, we will use the Clone Stamp Tool (S).

Create a new layer above the girl’s layer and select the Clone Stamp Tool. Choose Current & Below in the Sample settings. If you have never used the Clone Tool before, the first thing to do is define a source point. To do that hold the Alt key and select the source point. After that, start cloning some parts of the exploded leg to spread the shatters. The last thing here is go to Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen.

---

Step 7

Repeat the Steps 4, 5, and 6, but select the arm this time to break apart.

---

Step 8 — Clouds

Add a new layer on top of the others. Select white for the foreground color and black for the background. Then go to Filters > Render > Clouds. Now select the Lasso Tool. Set the feather to 20px, and select an area around the girl. You will have a selection like the image below. After that, just go to Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal Selection.

---

Step 9

Double-click on the clouds layer to open the Layer Styles dialog box. The first thing to do here is use Screen for the Blend Mode and use 28% for the Fill Opacity. Then select Gradient Overlay. The Blend Mode will be Color Dodge this time with 55% Opacity. Use the same colors as the image below.

---

Step 10 — Lighting Effects

I used some brushes to create the light effects. You can find them here:http://r0man.de/kostenlose_brushes_photoshop.htm.

Create a new folder above all the other layers, rename it to “lights” and change the Blend Mode to Color Dodge. Then select white for the color and the Brush Tool. Test some brushes to see the result. Create a layer for each effect.

---

Step 11

Create a new layer inside the “lights” folder. Select the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M), making sure the Feather is 0px. Create a rectangular selection. Then select the Gradient Tool (G). For the colors, use white for both start and end, but change the end’s opacity to 0. Then just fill the rectangle with the gradient like in the image below.

---

Step 12

Select the Elliptical Marquee Tool (L) and use 10px for the Feather. Create an elliptical selection like the image below. The just go to Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal Selection.

---

Step 13

Duplicate the layer and go to Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical. Then go to Edit > Transform > Scale and reduce the height only. After that, just group these two layers. You can create more lights just by duplicating the group, rotating, and scaling it.

---

Step 14 — Illustrator

In Illustrator select the Pen Tool (P) and create two curved lines To do that, hold the button every time you click to create a curved point. Use 0.5pt for the stroke weight. After that, select the Blend Tool (W) and click over one line and then on the other. To change the blend properties, just double-click on the Blend Icon. Choose Specific Steps for the Spacing and use like 50 steps. Copy the blend.

---

Step 15

Back to Photoshop, paste the blend over the girl. After that, select the girl’s body. To do that, just click over the girl’s icon on the layer palette holding Cmd (mac) or Ctrl (PC), which will select only the girl’s body. Then go to Layer > Layer Mask > Hide Selection. That will hide the parts of the blend that are in front of the girl.

Open the Layer Style dialog box, change the Fill Opacity to 0 and select Gradient Overlay. Use 20% for the Opacity and use the rainbow colors, like in the image below.

Conclusion

There are lots of different ways to do the break-apart effect. I chose the one that was, in my opinion the fastest and easiest one. You can see that I spent more time creating the lighting effects than doing the break apart effect. i swear you can make any kind of image better than me :)

Disease that can make you GENIUS ?

Low Latent Inhibition - Make You GENIUS ?
As your body grows and develops, the mind learns to recognize and filter out various objects and information. This process is called Latent inhibition or abbreviated as LI (Indonesia: Latent Inhibition).

In some cases, humans have excessive sensitivity to various environmental conditions, such as noises inside and the room where you open your laptop, serial number cell phone on your desk, or the brand and production date of the lights in your room. This disorder is called Low Latent inhibition, or LLI.

The signs of people who suffer from LLI:

More sensitive to information :

You see more, hear more, better smell and feel better through touch contact. Without conscious effort, your mind has a larger intake information . After against all forms of stimulation (which appeals to you), your mind automatically dismantles and explore its components. So you can get information about something that is overlooked by those in the normal

Can someone find out the lie:

You usually can see the lies and deception that people use in everyday life.

Ability to learn quickly:

When learning, you can make changes instantly. You can practice the lessons you've just absorbed, and able to make connections or associations between two or more things that are usually normal in people, looks like not related at all. Easy to understand explanations. You see the background information of non-verbal and this often provides a more comprehensive picture than what is spoken.

There is no talking voice in your head:

You think clearly with your conscious mind. Information completely submerged in your conscious mind without undue influence brought conscious mind.

It's hard to express what is in mind:

Because your mind is very thorough and detailed about the things that are considered trivial by others, then you will be hard to explain verbally to others. Other people look stupid and boring with the explanation: You will feel resentful and geregetan when listening to the explanation of normal people because in your mind, that person explain about something that you think should have been explained a few hours earlier. So like, someone is talking is still up in the points A, while your thoughts have reached the point P (the alphabet).

Knowledge is a source of tranquility:

You can find serenity and tranquility in learning about anything that smelled of science.

Do you feel as same as text above?
no, many peoples can't feel himself got that disease or not.
just psychiatrist can know it.. lol :D
so. just read it and feel your self :D

Hope this text can help you. Thanks for coming :D

Review Game : Crackdown 2

Welcome to the introductory paragraph! In a normal review, this is where we might explain the concept of the game, or recount the history of the franchise, or hook your interest with a particularly dramatic description of something that happened to us while playing. For Crackdown 2, however, we feel a rare journalistic responsibility to cut the bullshit and drive straight to the point: This is the same game as Crackdown 1.

That could be a good or bad thing, depending on your perspective. If you loved the original and just want a second, slightly enhanced sandbox in which to explore and experiment with your friends, then you'll be satisfied… though never surprised. If you liked the original, but were expecting big improvements to address some very obvious flaws, then you'll be disappointed, frustrated and possibly even angered… yet once again addicted for hours at a time.

Confusing, right? Let's explain in detail…
What's still great about Crackdown

SUPERPOWERS

You don't jump. You launch into the sky, soaring higher than the roofs of buildings and landing with a concrete-cracking tremor. You don't run. You speed through the air like a human bullet, leaving exhaust trails and startled pedestrians in your wake. You don't hit. You pummel and pulverize, sending enemies hurtling across entire city blocks with a single punch, kick or throw. No franchise is better at making you feel like a godly, all-powerful superhero – a crazy combination of Superman, Flash, Hulk, Spider-Man and The Punisher – than Crackdown.

And in Crackdown 2… You can fly! Sort of. Once you've leveled up your agent character enough, you receive a "wing suit" upgrade that enables you to glide through the air like a leaf on the breeze, grabbing much greater distance out of every leap and every freefall. The new ability isn't explained too well (a tiny text box is the only tutorial) and requires a lot of trial-and-error practice, but once perfected, basically adds Iron Man to the superhero list above.



AGILITY ORBS

Before you can learn to fly, you must learn to collect. Fortunately, searching for Agility Orbs – the shimmering green power-ups that act as Crackdown's XP – is the most addictive part of the game. They're everywhere you look, and yet somehow always just out of reach. Spend ten minutes figuring out how to climb a tower for one and you'll discover another dozen beckoning to you from the horizon, each demanding its own unique and inventive approach. Suddenly it's 4:00 AM and you're still hungry for more.

And in Crackdown 2… The developers feed your habit even further. In addition to the 500 Agility Orbs, 300 Hidden Orbs and 80 Xbox Live Orbs (visible at all times, but attainable only in co-op), they've thrown in Renegade Orbs, living power-ups that will actually run away from you. If you thought you were obsessed during the last game, wait until you try to grab these – the endless chases are both maddening and ridiculously satisfying.



CO-OP CHAOS

Crackdown could arguably be called the best co-op franchise of this generation. You're not merely shooting enemies side by side, or manning a turret while the other guy drives. These games are giant playgrounds, designed for DIY play - much like the famously imaginary Calvinball, you and your friends are free to make up your own rules, your own contests and your own fun.

And in Crackdown 2… That fun grows exponentially every time another player joins in, so the follow-up smartly increases co-op from two to four. More importantly, though, Crackdown 2 gives your group major incentives to stay together as often as possible. New toys like the webby mag grenades – with which you can hang a car between two buildings, or attach a tank to a helicopter – are wasted unless there's someone else there to see your bizarre construction / destruction. New Achievements require that multiple parties be involved – how are you going to "leap from one fast moving vehicle to another" for 10G unless your friends are driving both?



Finally, the new missions are much easier when tackled with multiple guns. Sections that you'll fail by yourself over and over, sometimes even on the lowest difficulty level, are suddenly a shoot-and-forget breeze once co-op help arrives. While this is a fantastic way to encourage teamwork, it often ends up punishing those who want to – or have to – play alone. Which brings us to the next page: What's still crap about Crackdown.

The Twilight Saga : Eclipse Movie

The world will be destroyed in a fire. No, the world will be destroyed in the ice. But, Bella is more trusting that the world will be destroyed in the greed. Ah, Bella is fragile,

Bella who make teenage girls envy of the world because of hotly contested by two unusually handsome guy; that one vampire, the only man-wolf. Is there a fantasy of falling in love is more powerful than that?

In this third film Twilight Saga, a love triangle between Bella-Edward-Jacob found the crucial moments. Almost all the films it is a dialogue between Bella and Edward, Bella and Jacob, or Edward and Jacob, and the inevitable tensions involved in one third. When Bella was with Edward, they are talking about Jacob. When Bella was with Jacob, they were talking about Edward.

Edward can not stop worrying about when Bella was with Jacob the werewolf because he thinks it is not "creatures" who are emotionally stable. Conversely, Jacob was also always worried that Edward the vampire suddenly change Bella into a vampire as well. On many occasions both, Jacob continued to "flirt" Bella to choose him instead of Edward. Jacob convinced that he was better than Edward.

But, from the previous movie, we already know, Bella has determined the choice of Edward. The third film was opened with dialogue Edward and Bella in the desert as far as the eye could see the flowers filled with purple. They discuss various possibilities for the joint. "Marriage is just a piece of paper," said Bella. "In my place, it's just another line of I love you," said Edward.

With the opening of the romantic one, which is not abege jejeritan in his seat. But, wait until Jacob appeared bare-chested, bare chest and always make the girls hysterically. In the midst perserteruan between Edward and Jacob, the conflict is raised from the continuation of the conflicts that have been built in the previous two films. Vampire Victroria rose up power, creating new vampires to kill Bella.

Victoria grudge against Edward who had killed her boyfriend, James. Endangerment of the safety of Jacob Edward and Bella make united. All for Bella. But competition for love can not be muted just like that. In preparation for anticipated attack forces between Victoria, the debates and arguments continue to fight over Bella. Did I already say that almost all the film is its contents are just two guys fight over one girl?

"Eclipse" cultivated by the new director of two films that are different from its predecessors, namely David Slave ("30 Days of Night") who tries to dig the intense drama of love triangle between Bella-Edward-Jacob, with only one battle scene which is enough to make us breathless . But, yes, only one and that too for a while, and we have to wait until nearly the end.

In this third film, we're also treated to glimpse through the history of a few vampires, how they initially joined the Cullen clan. Dark pictures, panoramic forest and mountain snow, the killing and who does not kiss the dashed colored film. Christian Stewart and Robert Pattinson appeared as usual, as labile teenagers in romantic and talk about their wedding plans.

It is nice that in this third movie, 'Twilight Saga' increasingly appeared as hidden text (or, we might call it a "metaphor"?) From a large and enduring themes of, say, forbidden love, or questions like, "why the hell should so normal - what exactly is it normal? "

Adults will certainly remain critical of this film, while the more hated Robert Pattinson. However, in my opinion, this movie is worth it to watch the teenagers. Where else in the film try at this age you can still find female characters who up to the age of graduation is still "maintain virginity"? And, where else are male figure, also a vampire, said, "I do not want to do that before we got married."

Edward, the vampire was aged 100 years, realized that asking his girlfriend to "stop opening my shirt" attitude must have been in ancient days. But, Bella said, "No, that's modern."

Yes, even though still it must be said that this film feels rather flat, but I can enjoy it even more than the two-film "Twilight" before. At least, this film is rich enough to insert a variety of "subtext" of discussing the various aspects of life. That is, about how to determine the choices, and how to not be afraid of. Life is not forever. Let's make mistakes!

I've been watching this Eclipse Movie yesterday. and I give 6 out of 10 rating. because, although it quite nice and cool, but it did not feel too comfy with the my heart. I've read her novel "Eclipse" and when i watched the film scene by scene .. i felt not tasty something wrong.. but nevertheless this is a good film! :) i like it,
