So, it is quite near to the end of the Editing.


Next, we gonna to add in some drummer inside the Wallpaper, so how?
Using Crop Tool and Quick Selection Tool


Image Source: Hands Percussion Fans Club


Open the Image that just downloaded

Quick Selection Tool is selected

Make selection on the part you want
After done with selection, press Cut (Ctrl+X) or Copy (Ctrl+C)

Open back the In Progress, and Paste (Ctrl+V) it right there

Back to the Image that downloaded, again,
Quick Selection Tool is selected
Make selection on the part you want
After done with selection, press Cut (Ctrl+X) or Copy (Ctrl+C)


Open back the In Progress again, and Paste (Ctrl+V) it right there
Make Free Transforms (Ctrl+T) the resize and place it at the place you want

Before going for the third Selection of Drummer, there is some missing parts on the hand
What to do? Don't worry, Clone Stamp Tool is selected to be clone it up


Look at the image that the part of hand is missing

Clone Stamp Tool is selected

Clone it slowly with Clicking Alt to take the source to clone and click it back from the source to the place you want to clone

Quick Selection Tool is selected again
Make selection on the part you want
After done with selection, press Cut (Ctrl+X) or Copy (Ctrl+C)



Open back the In Progress again, and Paste (Ctrl+V) it right there
Make Free Transforms (Ctrl+T) the resize and place it at the place you want


Next is the Layer Style to do so
Drop Shadow: to make it shadowy


With no doubt, make the copy of Layer style (fx) to the others 2 drummer image
with Alt+Click


Make FOLDER for 3 drummer with named Drummer


So, this is the FINAL!

Author with Picture in Text

To the end, there is Author needed to add inside the E-Wallpaper!


Try to make somethings different or Special! But how?
Here is my idea, Author with Picture in Text


How to do it? With Pattern Overlay  (Layer Style)


Open the image you want to be in Text

Don't you remember that we need like Chinese Brush Art?
So, make it Black and White with Image>Adjustment>Desaturate

Next, go to Edit>Define Pattern to add the image to the Pattern so that
later we can select it into the Text

Open a New Document

Next, select Type Tool to Make typo

Type B and make it Free Transforms (Ctrl+T)

This is because I want to reflect it with my logo name

And Continue to type AN with Type Tool

Next, Double Click the Layer of Text to show the Layer Style
Pattern Overlay: To add image into Text
and select the image that Defined Pattern just now

Try to adjust the Skill so that the image can be move in the text!

Copy or Drag it into In Progress Workspace and Free Transform (Ctrl+T) to resize and place it at the right corner bottom

Make Folder for the Author

Will the Final Image looked too brighter? Don't worry!

Add some Adjustment into it with Brightness/Contrast


Select Brightness/Contrast under the Adjustment

Make the setting of Brightness and Contrast

So after adjustment, this will be the FINAL!

TexTy

Before starting anythings, this is the previous Works that I did


Chinese Art, Background, Drum Team, A Drum and Chinese Word of Drum

So, today I gonna to create the text inside my wallpaper to show that is Drum Festival!

First to do, I found some image that from web pages that support me on the Chinese Word.
Drum in Chinese is done, so now is Festive in Chinese into my Wallpaper.

Open the image that just download from Nipic


Choose the text that wanted

Still remember that Quick Masking that we learned before the post? Hope you will remember it!


Quick Mask (Q) and Select Brush Tool (B) to select the region you want


After done with selecting, Press Q to End the Quick Mask Mode 
and Select Inverse (Ctrl+Shift+I)


Vector Mask


The Word will seem like this when u zoom in and Start using Brush Tool to retouching it to delete the Black Region


The Final Word after done edit

Adding Effects (Layer Style), so that is look shadow and glowing, same as the Word of Drum that we did previously.


Double Click the Layer to show Layer Style
and Set the first Effects: Drop Shadow


Outer Glow: To show some little Glowing around the Word


Color Overlay: To change to color to totally Black


The effects will look as above


Double Effects on it same as usual with Duplicate the Layer


Move into the Workspace on ''In Progress'' 
and Arrange/Resize (Free Transforms [Ctrl+T] ) it nicely


Make a new Folder (Chinese Word of Festival) and Drag the Layer 26 and Layer 26 copy into it and that it look neat and tidy


So, the FINAL adding Chinese Word of Festive into the Workspace


After done with the Chinese Word, where is the English Word? Don't worry, now we will go on!

On the English Word, I will use the Type Tool to present it into my wallpaper


Drum Festival Typo
Select Type Tool and use it in the Workspace, type a D word

Select the Font: Bauhaus 93, Size: 48pts

Why just a D word? This is because that I want to make it special and try to reflect it with Free Transforms


 Free Transforms (Ctrl+T) the D Layer and move the right point to the left point, it will seem reflect


Next, same step with making typo with Type Tool and type ''RUM'' to complete a word of DRUM with the Font: Bauhaus 93, Size: 40pts

Layer Style is performed again in the DRUM word to show shadowy and Glowing


Double Click the Layer to show Layer Style
and Set the first Effects: Drop Shadow



Outer Glow: To show some little Glowing around the Word


Color Overlay: To change to color to totally Dark Red
(Why Dark Red? Make some Red that is same as the uniform of Drummer) 


So, the reflected D will love as above after adding Layer Style


Next, Copy the Layer Style (fx) from D Layer to RUM Layer to show the same effects with Alt+Click with Dragging  


So, the Effects will be the same on the Word of DRUM after copying Layer Style


Make more effects that same with the previous Chinese Word? No problem, It is the same, just do it the double Effects with Duplicate the Layer into 2.


Duplicate the Layer D and Layer RUM


So, can you see it the more darker shadow and more glowing behind the DRUM?


Make FOLDER, same as the previous purpose to make it organize, neat and tidy.


Make a Drum Folder for the 4 layers that we did just now


Next, is the Word of Festival with using Type Tool


Type Tool with typing Festival with the Font: Bauhaus 93, Size: 40pts


With the same Size of D of the starting word, so make the word of F into the Size of 48pts


With no doubt, sure we need to copy the Layer Style into FESTIVAL layer to show the same effects in word of Drum Festival


Copy the Layer Style (fx) from D Layer to FESTIVAL Layer to show the same effects with Alt+Click with Dragging  


Duplicate the Layer FESTIVAL to show the same effects (Double effects)


Make a Festival Folder and Drag the 2 layers into it


So, the Layer and Image with seem to be like that for now

Next is the addition of Date of Drum Festival into the Wallpaper! How?
English: Type Tool
Chinese: Using Image from internet [Click Me 1] [Click Me 2] [Click Me 3]

After i made some research on it, the Drum Festival is in February and September!


ENGLISH DATE

So, select Type Tool with typing February | September


Font: Bauhaus 93, Size: 20.59pts


Make a Month FOLDER and Drag the layers into it


CHINESE DATE


Open the Image that had just downloaded from internet


What to do on the image? SO, the Magic Wand Tool is selected to use on image


Select Magic Wand Tool (Shortcut: W)


Make a click on the Black region, it will show dotted line 
around the Word of 2 in Chinese
Secondly, select CUT on it with Ctrl+X or Copy on it with Ctrl+C


Turn on the Workspace of In Progress, and Paste into with Ctrl+V


Resize/Rotate the Image with Free Transforms and place it


Next image, with the same step:
Select Magic Wand Tool (W),
Make a click on the Gold region which is means Month in Chinese,
select CUT (Ctrl+Xor Copy (Ctrl+C)


Turn on the Workspace of In Progress again, and Paste into with Ctrl+V


Resize/Rotate the Image with Free Transforms and place it


Next image, with the same step again:
Select Magic Wand Tool (W),
Make a click on the Black region which is means 9 in Chinese,
select CUT (Ctrl+Xor Copy (Ctrl+C)



Turn on the Workspace of In Progress again, and apply Paste (Ctrl+V)


Resize/Rotate the Image with Free Transforms and place it


So, Duplicate the Layer 30 to show Month that means February and September

Oh, before I forget, there is Layer style that needed to apply to the Chinese Word of Date

Copy the Layer Style (fx) from Layer 26 (Chinese Word of Festival) to Layer 29, Layer 30, Layer 31 and Layer 30 copy to show the same effects with Alt+Click with Dragging  


So the image will seen to be like this


Make it folder for each layer in categories


Making Folder for each Layers


Duplicate each layers to show the effects in Layer Style


Hide all the Layer under the Folder, and it will be like above


Still Blur on too many folder? Is OK, make it simplified


Make Separately Chinese and English Folder and drag the Folders of Month, Festival Drum into English Folder


Drag the Folders of Month, Festival Drum into Chinese Folder


So, The Layers in Folder will be seen


Make a FINAL Folder for this Text

Oh! Somethings is missing! But what is it? 

It is a new Brush Tool that can be find/download the Brush from QBrushes and Bittbox

I download some Chinese Brush from the Site I gave! Look awesome!


Select and use it on the Wallpaper


Free Transforms to resize/rotate and place it properly 


Duplicate the Layer of Chinese Brush  (Layer 32) to make it Darker


Copy the Layer Style (fx) from Layer 30 copy (Month of Sept in Chinese Folder) to Layer 32 to show the same effects with Alt+Click with Dragging  


So, the Layer of Chinese Brush (Layer 32 and Layer 32 copy) will under the Chinese Folder 
with new Folder called Slash
