After Effects? Turned out great!

u/graphleek Jul 20 '16

Thanks! I wish I had After Effects. Just four frames tweened in Photoshop.

u/BoomerKeith Jul 21 '16

I don't have it either, but I am really considering adding it to my CC subscription (I wish they had a cheaper option to add just one program). Anyway, turned out great! My favorite.

u/Edewede Jul 21 '16

Wait, I think they do have a pick your own app subscription, no? $19.99 per single app.

u/BoomerKeith Jul 25 '16

I should have been more specific. I have the basic subscription (that includes PS and LR), but there's no way to add just one additional app without moving up to the "All Apps" plan. So, instead of paying $30 for PS, LR and say Illustrator, I'd have to pay $50 just to add one additional app that I really wanted. Of course you would gain access to their entire suite of apps, but I really wouldn't use most of them.

The "DeathScope"

I am fairly new with photoshop, and this is my first "Photoshop Battle Entry". Please give your opinion on how I did! Thanks!

u/BoomerKeith Jul 20 '16

Good start. Like anything else, the more you do in PS the better you'll get. There are some really great tutorials on YouTube. My favorite is by a guy named Nathaniel (the channel is Tutvid). But, there are tons of tutorials. Welcome to PSBattles!

u/TheBanditUnicorn Jul 20 '16

Thanks for the support! Ill make sure to go check Tutvid out, and some other tutorials.

u/BoomerKeith Jul 21 '16

This is a great place to work on your skills. There's also a site called Design Crown (www.designcrowd.com/community) where they have contests (advanced and beginner). I like this place better, but if you're looking for another place to challenge your skills, it's fun too.

Pretty good. Play with blur more and try to remove white spaces.

u/graphleek Jul 19 '16

Ha! I thought about this image, but couldn't imagine what search terms to use to find it.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '16

It took me so long! For some reason I thought it was a Kraftwerk album or single cover which it isn't. And I spent ages searching for things similar to "shocked boy with weird goggles". Eventually searching 50s Sci Fi found it. Though I still couldn't find an original source when I did a reverse image search, just lots of examples of it being used in blogs and social media.
