TornadoGTS Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 how do you get that logo-vinyl-sticker effect GTS?These are the settings I used, you just adjust the bottom 2 sliders. Just make sure your outermost color on your logo is the same color as the helmet, or you wont get the same effect (if not, just make another layer or stroke with the color of the helmet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Davidson- Is there an easy way to give these black (or other colored) backgrounds? I love white helmets, and they're getting lost with the white BG.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that if you did want a bg, you could just make a layer with the color you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake22 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 So i am still having trouble. GTS posted a very helpful file but i am still a little lost. If someone could make the product that is in step 5 of the first post that would be very helpfull as well. Thanks to anyone who can help me to get this to work.

trenshaw Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Okay here is my first Helmet.I did have a problem with the mask in Photoshop CS3.I had to select the mask layer and go to image>adjustments>invert.Select all and Copy (Shortcut Control C)While still on the Mask layer I then hit the add layer mask.Then went to channels and pasted it in the mask layer as Davidson said...Thanks just how I did may be an easier way..BTW this is awesome Davidson thank you so much...TomI stand corrected I don't know why earlier today I had such problems.. I tried again and it worked fine, I must have done something wrong the first 100 times I tried I just did it in 2 minutes and it did work fine. Must have been one of those moment where you just have to walk away and come back later. Sorry.....I got CS3 and if you do it exactly how he explains it, it works fine.

Thanks for all yuor help man.Well if your using the psd you dont have to worry about the mask, its already on there and applied. That was the point of the psd, was so you could just start right away with the logos and colors, didnt have to worry about setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ifs it on an odd numbered zoom (like 33% or 66%) its gonna look fuzzy, so zoom to 100% or its got to be something with your PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
