*The Photoshop Help Thread*

[King Wiired]

Right, I've been getting a lot of PM's from me, either wanting tutorials and for me to make people sigs. Now I'm more then happy sending out tutorials to people, but making sigs is now a no-no But I thought, why spend the time posting the same tutorials to each person? So I've decided to find the best things needed for Photoshop, not just tutorials, but Fonts, Brushes and any other stuff I come across, I will post here, hope this helps some of you, and hope its appreciated took me a bit of time, and I personally prefer seeing people doing the best of what they can do, then asking me to make the same sig over and over, when they just gotta take a little time to learn

:lol: yeah would be good if it was stickied. Might cancel down the amount of sig request threads if people figure out they can actually make sigs themselves (assuming they have Photoshop of course) but yeah, I've been meaning to do this thread for a while now, thought I'd do it today while I wasn't busy

 

[tank]

wow. nice post. I'm always looking for font and brush sites.

sticky?

 

[Jenova]

Damn that's alot of links. O_O

For fonts, the only thing I use is DaFont. xD

 

[ssbb_lover]

Yo guys...umm, where do I upload the fonts that I've downloaded? ^_^'...

Dafonts.com is by far the BEST free font site on the net

Yo guys...umm, where do I upload the fonts that I've downloaded? ^_^'...

C:/Windows/Fonts

go their and then with that folder open, go to File>Install new Font and then navigate to the folder that has all your downloaded fonts and install them

 

[ssbb_lover]

I know that part, I mean I can't even get to the part where it pops up the window w/ all the files. You know, at the top it's got the "font family", the "font type", what do I click on to even get to the part to upload them?

 

[The_Mitch]

i have no clue what you mean. what i do is download the font file onto my desktop and then go to C:/Windows/Fonts and then click on File>Install Font and then navigate to my desktop and install the font

 

[ssbb_lover]

Okay, when working w/ brushes you have to click on the little arrow beside the diameter size of the brush and then click that little arrow to go and find a custom brush you have uploaded off the internet.

What's wrong right now is that I can't even find (metaphorically) the little arrow beside the diameter of the circle. Omg this is hard to explain...`

 

[Redan499]

Do you mean you dont know where to place your brush files?

I stick them here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Presets\Brushes

Hope it helps a little.
