How To Make Smileys (For Beginners)

Christian238 said

I'm having problems with the layers portion, I have the pic "shaved" idk what exactly u technical types call it but I've done the 1st set effectively...I just can't get the layers portion to act right so I can use the photos on different backgrounds...can someone explain the "working with layers, layer on top is the working layer, resize sh*t again when u get some time

I'm not one to make a request cause I know niccas have personal time and sh*t to do but I'm pretty much fu*kin with the people I play poker with trying dropping their images in different fu*ked up pics to my amusement...

I can't get the "highlight" and "work with specific layer", resize sh*t down...when I start working with multiple pics the same "dotted line" sh*t that happens when you use the wand sh*t comes up over the entire outline and I can't do sh*t after that...what the fu*k am I doing wrong lol...

Keep in mind, when dealing with layers, it depends on focus. Which layer you have focused.

Lets say you have layer 1 and layer 2. Lets pretend layer 1 is a photo of a man and layer 2 is a jordan smiley you wanna put on it.

Moving, resizing, or editing anything, you have to have the specific layer you wanna change highlighted in the layers box. If you have layer one highlighted/selected in layer box and wanted to change or erase something on layer 2, it wouldn't erase anything because you have layer one selected.

When dealing with the square box or wand, if something outlined or selected, you cant erase or make edits because something is highlighted.

Try unselecting everything then making edited. Also when dealing with this it is important which layer you are working with.

@ how do you add the shadow around the smiley when your done? What are some good ways to clean up the edges and improve image quality?

Add a shadow? I do not understand. There are ways to do that sort of thing in photoshop but I never do that.

If you want a better edge, you can use what they call a smudge tool. Basically, it blends the edges. Lets say for example you are putting

on a photo.

(Using Photoshop)
First you would try and adjust the color of the face to match the skin. There are several ways to do this but the Hue/Saturation tool is the best way to go. That or you can try to replace the color.

Once you have a pretty good match you can use the smudge tool to ease of the edges. This photo (open in new tab to see it bigger) shows where the smudge tool is.

It is okay if it doesnt look perfect cause BX makes the photos smaller and a lot of times you can get away with it not looking perfect.

Once you blend the edges with the smudge tool, if the face still does not match the skin color you can adjust it accordingly.

Shadow as in the difference between these two
:chucklol:
the kobe has a shadown around the edges while the chuck doesnt

Good looks on all the info

I figured you meant that but needed the clarification. I don't ever do that to my smileys. In fact, I usually take it off if I am editing one with a shadow.

Thats good but looks a little rough. You gotta zoom in close and go around the entire photo outlining it with the eraser tool to clean it up.

How do you add a layer and FLIP IT without it flipping both pictures? That's the issue I ran into with this one. I was gonna try to add a cigar but every time I flipped it even I used the selection tool it would flip both pics.
