that dude needs a pocket protector anybody know how to photoshop that in?
cool guide tho - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now use photoshop to make the guy less nerdy...
- chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Eh, it's ok. But I don't think that he was going for a "real" look.
- gothicx00, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0kinda cool i guess... but if you wanted to make it uber realistic the author would have added a step to use a "television" style distortion filter... but i guess he/she wanted to keep it mostly to what you can do with photoshop out of the box....
Interesting side note.... that background comes straight out of Star Wars Galaxies.... though i don't think i've ever seen a AT-AT in the same vicinty of a Krayt Dragon before... must be pre-CU.... wait... now i look like the nerd..... great.... :p - xodex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ok enough photoshop tutorials lately. what about some gimp tutorials?

That application still around... ? XD - blhack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that was pretty underwhelming...
sorry, thanks for the guide whoever made it though :) - modian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0He is too much of a nerd to begin the training!
- hookshotzz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0no digg
this is pretty lame - rhettnyedotorg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ok enough photoshop tutorials lately. what about some gimp tutorials?
- justicets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+010,000 ways to waste time
- uptown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0...and everybody completely overlooks the fact that this guy has his own lightsaber.
- modian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0...also I'd throw in a little wave filter
- hanslope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Even worse than the "Tron Suit Guy", as it doesn't feature vomit induce middle aged male camel toe, which means there is nothing to this story.
- pheonix2og, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome. +Digg.
- taswake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The guide and tutorial is good. The guy in the pictures though..... well..... nerd seems SUCH an understatement.
Still, entertaining enough for a digg. - viodev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This made the Digg front page!?
- sqthreer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah this tutorial isn't that good at all.
Yep. - molecool, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What a GEEK!!!
- wolphcry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If you know gimp's layout you can follow the photoshop "how to's"
- melophobia07, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0L to the AME... no digg
- steveo2112, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ugh.
- Memo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anyway to add a directshow filter to a running webcam for use in an IM?
- joshPB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Digg worthy.
I might try it.
But without the starwars background. - Memo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Any way, even.
- XMorbius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The Tutorial isn't bad, but it could be better too. There should be some bars where the image is lighter / brighter to make it a little more true to the real deal. And this could go either way, but a more authetic could probably be made by making wider, more transparent scanlines, and blurring them slightly.
- cheeze69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dugg because of the parent site - lots of useful info there!
- spectre_25gt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Seriously, that was horribly done. It doesn't look anywhere close to real. I guess it's a good start for someone that doesn't know photoshop at all, though.
- Nobi-Wan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh the irony.
Calling someone a nerd while using "leet" speak? What a tool. - Freezecool, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I like the video and how they went over the whole process. Nice digg.
- Jarasmen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This sucks and looks crappy. No digg.
- Cglass, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0why do people make fun of other people on digg, especially with the term nerd, is it like when a certain race calls each other that certain word?
- dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://fxhome.com/support/tutorials/view.php?i=27
Not for Photoshop, but for a low-budget DV greenscreening program Chromanator (Plus it'll work for video with out frame by frame editing)
- Ben - theundone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Digg for the extremely nerdy guy in the pic LOL
- duwamish, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Or why not get a program to apply the effect in realtime using your webcam?
Check out *effectv* (http://effectv.sourceforge.net/ or http://pbx.mine.nu/effectv/ for the windows port and directshow filter). The program has several filters the one you'll be interested in is HolographicTV (screenshot at http://effectv.sourceforge.net/holo.html). Works by creating a virtual blue screen, anything that appears different to the intial shot taken by the webcam has the starwars hologram effect applied. Check it out its a VERY cool program (it would be EVEN cooler if someone could get the directshow filter working with a webcam whilst in use (think msn/aim/icq etc..) - boardo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0@ScottTaylor
You are calling someone else a nerd in your "31337" speak?
Look in the mirror.
But yes, that guy does look like he could use some time at the beach. - Ignignokt01, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"nerdiest thing i've seen all day"

http://digg.com/movies/STAR_WARS:_GHOST_OF_THE_REBELLION - jpiers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Looks kind of fun and interesting. but that was the lamest picture!
If you are that guy in the picture ( issues man issues)
Dude you look like a fool when was this picture taken 1956? - alanmarchman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0or you can just that new "make loser a even bigger loser" filter in photoshop cs2..
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0lame :)
