One of the problems with collision insurance is that if your mileage is excessively high, you might not get the coverage that you would want after a collision. Therefore, if you are certainly one of those drivers who use their vehicle a great deal, then you have to make sure you are covered from all ends. Those that drive much less and consequently possess a fairly newer vehicle will manage to get a much better coverage that will have the ability to replace the car with among the exact same model and make from about exactly the same time your vehicle was purchased.

Whenever you are going for cheap car insurance there will probably be a totaled car clause which you will have to inspect carefully. Totaled car insurance coverage will be the coverage provided when your car is completely damaged and rendered incapable of additional usage. The insurance coverage company generally offers coverage which in its opinion will probably be in a position to obtain you a comparable vehicle. If your vehicle is fairly older, then the premiums you pay are much greater than the cost you’ll receive if it’s totaled. So you’ll have to take a contact.

 

 

This is the amount that based on the policy; you would spend for the car damage repair out of the pocket in the time of the accident. If it is higher, the premium goes down.

Lighting Tricks With Magic Flakes

Written by admin on September 27, 2011 · Leave a Comment

If you’re wondering how they create these magical sparks with amazing lighting effects on some of the designs you see, then this is your time to know how they do it using Photoshop CS.

First create a new document, normally 400*400 pixels but you can open a design that you’re working on to add this effect to it or you can start on a blank document.

I started with a time warped photo of a drop of water with some waves I added to it.

Step 1. Apply a Layer style to your background layer. Add a radial style gradient overlay with a smooth color to add depth to your design. (For complete specification to the style see the attached photo “GradntOvrly-2″)

Step 2. Create a new Layer. Select the Ellipse Tool and create a white rounded shape over the center of your design, or over the part you wanted to be the center of your magical lighting flakes.

Step 3. Apply a Gaussian Blur to your rounded shape (Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur) and use a radius of 20px. (if your design have a dark background you may use a bigger radius up to 30px)

Step 4. On you layer panel, on top of your layers create a new folder named “Lighting”.

Step 5. Change the “Lighting” folder blinding mode to Color Dodge, then move your rounded shape into this folder. (See “Light-cdodge-3″)

Step 6. On your “Lighting” folder, create a new layer and set you foreground/background colors to white.

Step 7. Select your Bruch tool, and go to the brush engine. Then follow setting exactly as shown on “BrushEngine-4, follow the steps in order”.

Step 8. Now using the brush tool and after selecting the brush engine settings throw off some sparks as needed to your design.

Step 9. Using layer styles, apply outer glowing to the sparks. (Feel free to use my settings for it “OtrGlw-9″)

Step 10. Now you can add your touch to finish your design, may be some smoke around the flakes and some text beside it…

Extra Step, if you want to add some smoke behind and around your fakes: (Note that this step is only for dark color background designs)

Create a new/blank layer before your “Lighting” folder.

Change the blend mode to color dodge.

Select the lasso tool with a feather of 40px, add a selection around the space you add smoke in.

Set your foreground to white and the background to black.

Apply Filters > Render > clouds and repeat this step (Ctrl + F) until you get the best effect.

Take a look at my final product “Product-10″ after adding some text and less sparks. You can apply this technique on many cases that could have clouds, smokes and flakes. It’s not too hard to create and it really gives your design a gleam of magic and a professional touch which is a huge plus to your final Photoshop product.

Hope my description was enough and easy to follow… Until next time, have fun!

It’s not a hard effect to do, just a few steps and effects using some trick and you ready to go.

First step- Create a new document, any size you need cause it doesn’t matter how large your design is, so just go with your expectations or flow my document size which is 300px*300px .
Next you need to make sure that your background is black, so all you have to do is to hit “Ctrl+D” or “D” if you are using Mac.
Then fill you background with black , Hit “alt+delect” if you are using Mac or “Ctrl+backspace” if you are using a Pc I think .

just make sure that your background is black.

Second step- Go to Filters Menu and Follow:
Filter > Artistic > Plastic Wrap: In Plastic Wrap Dialog box settings you need to follow these settings,
20 on Highlight Strength scroll,
15 on Detail Scroll

and 15 on Smoothness .

Filter > Distort > Twirl: Now in this filter Dialog box settings you need to adjust the Twirl Angle to 300.

Note : this is step may change from case to case, so feel free to test different Twirl angles until you reach your special swirl effect.

See attached photo for this step filter and result.

Final Step- Applying Colors
You may use your special effect, or here is a hint, Using a hue/saturation, Just click “Ctrl+U” or “Command+U” if you are using Mac,

Or go to Image Menu >> Adjustment then click hue/saturation and chose your color.

If you want to use the same colors i used in my design to have a glowing green swirl effect, you may use this settings: Hue : 90 , Saturation : 37 and Lightness:1 .
Just Make sure that you selected the Colorize Check box.

See attached photo for my final design.

Now you can add your special touches to the design.
After you follow my steps you can go over and redo all these steps, but this time try to change settings on the last 3 steps you will get a different effect, so go ahead and try it.

Easily to do, easily to understood and we have fun after all, right.
That’s all for today until next time, have fun.

Learn Photoshop

Written by admin on February 20, 2011 · Leave a Comment

As a scrapbook enthusiast who fully believes in putting her computer and graphic programs to full use when it comes to altering pictures to fit my scrapbook layouts to perfection, I long ago became a fan of the software program Adobe Photoshop Elements. For the record, I am currently running version 3, though two newer versions are available. It has continued to meet my needs and I see no reason to run out and spend money on a new version just yet. Originally I chose it as a much cheaper alternative to the full fledged Adobe Photoshop, as it has always allowed for quite a large amount of photo editing, including such editing basics as converting color photos to black & white or sepia tone, and more playful alterations such as using artistic and special effect brushes.

Recently, I became aware of what is referred to as an Action when in discussion about graphic programs in general. An Action is a series of edits bundled into what appears to be a simple single action, but is actually a series of actions, allowing the software program the Action is run in, to alter your photograph in a much more detailed, yet much less time-consuming way than one would be able to do without the Action. If I have not lost you after that explanation, some examples of Actions that I have since used include turning a single photograph into numerous puzzle pieces or several photos into what looks like a film reel, all with little effort on my part beyond loading the photograph into my workspace and applying the chosen Action to it.

I had previously learned, wrongly, I might add at this point, that an Action could not be run in such a basic program as Elements, and needed a full featured program such as Adobe Photoshop. Thankfully I learned this was not so. While not all Actions made for Adobe Photoshop will run in Adobe Photoshop Elements, many will, some dependent on which version of Elements you are running too, so do keep this in mind if you decide to try out Actions in your own copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements.

To begin to use them, you first must install them into the correct directory and make sure that all elements of the Action are available for the program to read. This can involve various steps, some that beginning users might be a bit more reluctant to do than more advanced users, but really are not that difficult as long as the proper steps are followed.

For example, after installing a new Action to the proper file, double check that the Elements program itself is closed, then open the file Adobe on your hard drive, (on my computer, I left clicked once on My Computer, and double left clicked my C drive, which happens to be my local drive). From there I double left clicked Adobe Photoshop Elements (in my case Adobe Photoshop Elements 3), and continued to double left click Previews, Open Cache, open Effects Cache, and then selected and deleted the three files within. I then closed all of the folders. Once closed, you will reopen the program Adobe Photoshop Elements itself, so when the program loads, it will rebuild these three files you just deleted, in turn finding the newly installed Actions, and giving the program the opportunity to show the actions in the program’s menus for easy access and use.

The simplest way to do any of this is to use a third party creator of an Action that has been designed for use in Elements. My favorites and the most straightforward Actions when it comes to installation I have found come from a website created by Panos Efstathiadis titled PanosFX. On this site are clearly written directions for downloading Actions to Adobe Photoshop Elements, and getting them up and running.

If you have always wanted to try some high-end graphic editing, but your budget cannot afford a high-end graphic program, this might be the solution to your dilemma, and all within even the tightest budget.
