By hofnik 1170937683 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove3615633 - issue
um, I have an issue. whenever I go to fix the levels, it rips out all of the facial details and fuzzes it. I used the same number for the levels that you did, and its a big picture too. so what can I do to get over this?
By PastDarwin 1169029844 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove3658580- you will have to play with the sliders
you will have to play with the sliders - different pictures call for different settings and they cannot be predicted, I'm afraid.

I'm sorry, I don't know anything about PSP, never opened the program - you'll have to try and see for yourself.

By HurryHarry 1169029563 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethis effect looks wonderful!!
i' ve been a couple hours trying to do this... not as good as the one in the example, but well.
Hey there,
this is a great tutorial, really easy to understand and so easy to do
thanks for posting it,
Wow Sin City=Great movie.....and so is this tutorial....
By beiersdorf 1169029346 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHey. I tired using this tutorial and I think there might be some steps missing?? I dunno. Im still sort of photoshop retarded. I think its a lot of fun and this is a really cool tutorial. I'd love to be able to figure it out and use it!!
By ticuntuast 1169029246 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- mh
dont think there are steps missing
By numashdei 1169029303 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove3658356
SCORE! The Sin City look is just about the most awesome thing I've ever seen, and I've been amazed ever since I saw the movie. Thanks dude *bows*
By Ittikus 1169029196 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThis was the most fun tutorial I've found in along time.
By aikenartifct 1169029166 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWow, thanks for this tutorial! I myself have been playing with the same stuff you used to get this, but somehow could not get it right..thanks
By crashband2 1169029128 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeit's not the same as in the movies - i believe it looks like what was used in the actual comics, but I'm no expert there... if you want something more like the movies you might need to recolor some parts or use the effect only on parts of the image. this tutorial is not the only way of doing things, it's just one way to get a nice effect, the rest is up to you.
This Tut is flipping awesome!!!
By MarieCurie 1169029051 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeawesome tutorial !!!! i made my desktop and then after i did i was browsing around saw ur tutorial, looked at your tutorial and i was woah! we do it alike! except i didn't try to make it sin city like i thought that was funny well anyways very cool tutorial :)
By Dontcompl 1169029021 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveNice one, i like it, am thinking of using it when i make my avater. But one question, jsut beeing looking at the trailers etc and this isn't the same effect as them. Am i missing something? The best i can think of is that your only suposed to use this effect on their clothes and do the write gray scale?
I've had so much fun with this. Thanks for sharing. :3
By quantum-ball 1169028904 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI love Sin City and this tutorial is very good...
Thanks
This is just a totally cool tute; well thought out,
By roger.keats 1169028832 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI faved this because I loved it so much. Thank you again for making this! I had so much fun!!!! Couldn't get the rain to work correctly at first, so I lessed the opaqueicity(sp?!?) when I was doing the overlay of gray, and lessened the amount of noise...then It came out great. ^_^ I also had to tweak the katana a bit, but after a bit of work that came out great too! I love you ^_^
By dodialf 1169028656 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI wanted to say, thank you for making this tutorial! I loved it! It helped me get through my first experience with photoshop, and I actually made an ID using this tutorial (and may I say I love how it turned out!

really simple and very effective
Gonna have a go at this.
By Terranigma 1168973554 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removehad problems with the rain as well; eventually i used a third layer of rain, skewed it even less and added a gradient to compensate for some of the darker parts of the picture.
guess the original image wasn't that good to begin with.
Great tutorial. That rain trick sure is nifty.
By CusedMyHeart 1168964990 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAnyone knows what font is used for the caption?
By AloneInKyoto 1168964819 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- yes
Found it, Comic Sans.
By CusedMyHeart 1168964864 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove3658976
great tute, thanks a lot!
By JustForOneDay 1168963417 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI love this technique!!
By HeroLover 1168963112 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removecan´t seem to get the rain like the example either... anyone got a response?
By Whatsthematt 1168962845 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- suggestion
I reduced the fill of the first layer to about 40%. Notice that even thought its 50% zoom, this is the size I like..
By Vangelises 1168964135 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
Of course... i probably could have added a layer mask on one or both of the rain images and painted with a grey brush on the body in order to achieve the same result.
Just another thought!3658803 - but
Ya but the rain just shows up behind the person, yet.. It should show up as if its raining al around .. If u know what i mean.
By Vangelises 1168964210 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove3658803 - you can..
cant you put the rain layer on top of the person and set the mode to overlay?, just a thought
By ArticIce 1168964676 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove3658844 - well
Call it an..."Executive creative decision" The three areas I could have used work on were the hand, rain, and the eyes. I used a grainy pic to begin with.
By HymnToBeer 1168964297 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove3658812
I have a lot of problems creating the sin city rain. When I put the layer in Vivid Light and I adjust the levels i can´t get the right effect. Any Ideas?
By ShakenSqueez 1168963199 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei make a selection for colors in the rain layer and erase the white. Maybe is not the best solution, but it works.
By OsamaDontLaden 1168962899 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removea few things. Whenever Im doing the rain, one i motion blur, it becomes transparent on its own. Then when i try to skew it, it says "could not transform because The Initial Bounding rectangle was empty." whats that mean and how do i fix?
By CellularSounds 1168962795 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethats pritty cool.. Now just to add colour to sertin places
By JacksBack 1168962715 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI do not know how to add the black background color without breaking all the image :(
Could you help me?
Still haven't figured out where the lasso tool is to make the bubble. Very new to Photoshop.
By PastDarwin 1168962537 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- well
The elliptical tool is under the top left button of the toolbar. The polgonal selection tool is 2nd from the top left of the tool bar.
By Casylina 1168962584 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove3658607
Hi.. I don't succeeded in rain part...
Can you show me an example of your levels values ?
- yes
same as HB ... rain ripples...
By LigaJove 1168962435 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
level values examples?3658553
Mine looked well until i merged the layers and it threw in a bunch of extra rain. Not sure what happened there.
