I was wondering how you're able to make your dash icons, especially in style one? Do you have a tutorial or skme steps you follow? They look amazing!
hihiii , babyluv ! thank u for the kind words ! initially when making them , i had a tutorial i followed , but i can’t find it anymore , so i’ve included a small tutorial of my own under the cut for u ! u’ll need photoshop for it — i use both cc & cs5 ! this tutorial is a bit messy , i’m a bit bad at explaining , so if u need further help w anything , let me know ! i hope it’s helpful n luv u sm ! ^♡^
♡ open a new canvas ! i make mine 140x140px , since tumblr auto - resizes the icons anyway n it’s easier for me to see this way , but ur free to make it any size u want ofc !
then , select the shape tool > round rectangle tool ! jus’ drag the shape on ur canvas n a little ‘ properties ‘ tab should pop up . this is where u enter the sizes for the round rectangle ! i make mine anywhere between 105x105px n 120x120px , depending on how much room for transparency around the image u want ! don’t make the rectangle the same size as the canvas , tho !
move the round rectangle to the middle of the canvas ! i jus’ drag it around n use my ‘ snap to ‘ guides to tell when it’s centered ! now u should hav smth that looks like this !
now , take ur image ! u should crop it down to the same size of ur canvas , so i crop mine down to 140x140px ! i smart sharpen it , add my psds , n then select layer > flatten image ! this will get rid of all ur excess layers , so now u can drag n drop ( or duplicate ) ur image onto the canvas with ur rounded rectangle ! center ur image !
now select ur magnetic lasso tool ! carefully outline the part of ur image with the magnetic lasso ! it should attach to the edges in the image by jus’ moving ur cursor , so be careful !
i , personally , select a bit of extra space too ! then , when u’ve selected what u want , press the enter key ! u shld get an outline that looks like this , for example !
now , press cntrl j and this will make a copy of the area u’ve selected ! then , click on the layer of ur original image . right click , select create clipping mask .
now , u shld hav smth that looks a bit like this ! not very pretty , huh ?
so , now , jus select layer 2 ( the top layer / the layer u made from the magnetic lasso tool ) and the erase tool and rub away any excess until u 1) recover the shape of the rectangle underneath and 2) are satisfied with how it looks ! feel free to select both layer 1 and layer 2 and move them around a bit , and don’t forget to delete the background layer when ur done !
ur end result shld look smth like this ! n ta - da ! u’ve made urself a style one dash icon ! ♡
please don’t save or use this icon ! it’s lazy n messy n i hav a cleaner version of it that i’ll release soon - ish !
hi bb! im the anon from abi6x's blog & i was wondering how do i do that? tysm ;; c:
hihiii , luvie ! i put a lil tutorial under the cut for u ! please note that i’m using photoshop cc 2017 ! hope this helps u out ! ^♡^
assuming u hav ur gif open in timeline , ur gonna click the four lil lines to the right of the timeline window . shld look smth like this !
n then a popup shld open ! go up to where it says convert frames n hover over that !
another lil popup shld open , so then click flatten frames into layers !
that’ll take a sec as topaz processes each frame , but once it’s done , go back to convert frames to open up that lil popup again , but this time click convert to frame animation !
then , click those four lil lines again , go down to where it says make frames from layers n click that !
then , delete the first layer and the first frame , n u shld be good ! hope this helps ! ^♡^
