the REAL mandaa.

ok. i just helped someone with this. and i thought id make a thread on it incase anyone else was wondering how to do this.


for fonts, i go to www.dafont.com (http://www.dafont.com)
and for brushes, i go to http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/applications/psbrushes/


save fonts/brushes to my documents.
thats what i do anyways.

************************************************** ************************************************** ***********

HOW TO SAVE THE FONTS/BRUSHES ONTO YOUR COMPUTER.

1. ok, save the brushes/fonts to a disk
when you save them, at the top of the little window thing
there should be a drop down menu, and click on my documents
thats where i always save my brushes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. and to view them, go to the start button on the left corner of your computer sceen
(if you have windows)
and then click on my documents

and you should be able to find the fonts/brushes from there.

************************************************** ************************************************** ***************

BRUSHES.

1. first things first,
go to where you saved the brushes
then right click on the flie and click on extract all
and click on browse and find the place where you saved the file.
then click finish.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. your brush file should look like this
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i77/MrsEfr0nx3/bruhs.jpg
- SOMETIMES THEY MAY AUTOMATICALLY LOOK LIKE THAT.
THEN YOU DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING TO THEM.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

************************************************** ************************************************** *******************

NOW TO UPLOAD AND SAVE THEM TO PHOTOSHOP.

1. click on the brush tool.
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i77/MrsEfr0nx3/bt.jpg
and then in the top right corner it has 2 tabs.
one says brushes another says layer comps and the last one says tool presets.
click on brushes
then go to replace brushes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. ok.
then go to where ever it is you saved your brush (my documents) and double click on it.
the brushes should appear in box thing when you click on the brushes tab.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. and if you really like the brushes,
click on the brushes tab again
and then click on save brushes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. then go to local disk (c.) ----. program files ----- adobe -----adobe photoshop cs2 ----- presets ---- brushes
and then where it says file name, type in a title for your brushes.
whatever you want it to be.
then click save.

************************************************** ************************************************** ****************

FONTS.

1. first things first,
go to where you saved the fonts
then right click on the flie and click on extract all
and click on browse and find the place where you saved the file.
then click finish.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. copy them all the icons for the fonts.

they should look like this
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i77/MrsEfr0nx3/text.jpg
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. and then go to control pannel
and set it to classic view instead of catergory view.
(it should be on the left side of window)
then click on the fonts folder.
and then paste the fonts in the window.

and then they should work.

Here's the other way to make a blend. I'll be using two pictures. This is in Photoshop.
http://www.zefron.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/006jpgna7.png
and
http://www.zefron.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/007jpgaw1.png
Since they are similar :-)

Make a new image document (for sigs, I use 450x200), but any size will do... and paste your images right on top of another.
http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/7749/scrn1or8.jpg
Take your POLYGONAL LASSO TOOL (if you can't find it, it might be called the lasso tool.) If it's not on POLYGONAL LASSO TOOL, then right click on the lasso and click Polygonal Lasso Tool.
http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/4797/scrn2tt2.jpg
After selecting your Polygonal Lasso Tool, you'll see a section that says "Feather" and a little box next to it that says "0 px", change that to "10 px"
http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1361/scrn3zn2.jpg
Make sure the box "Anti-Aliased" is also checked. After that, start outlining the parts you want to delete (the camera man outside of Zac.)
http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/8900/scrn4wt6.jpg
Then press "DELETE".
This will leave a result sort of like
http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/5381/finishhl0.jpg
Except not that color, I added the finishing touches already. :-)

Ok so I'm not quite understanding? When I download these how do I credit them for using them like where do I do that exactly it's not like with a sig or avie where you say "made by blah blah..." I don't get how to credit them when I don't have an account on there nor am I posting it anywhere except in photoshop! This is confusing but I'm just wondering what the legalities of all of it is?

the REAL mandaa.
03-16-2007, 11:47 AM
uhm, just when you post the blend on a website or something,
say credit for brushes: the persons name
or something like that.

hey this is helping a lot and I've downloaded a lot of fonts but I can't get the brushes to work.
when I go through clicking extract all and then finish it doesn't change to that brushes icon and i don't know how to make it work.

the REAL mandaa.
01-22-2008, 01:36 PM
hmm, thats odd.

how do you download a brush, then save it??

the REAL mandaa.
02-17-2009, 07:33 AM
im sorry, this is really late
but there will be a link when you go to download something
click on it and a window will pop up asking you to open, save, or cancel
click save and then another window will pop up and save it to "my documents"
its just easier. and its easy to find after

i hope that helps, let me know if you need anymore help.
