Photoshop Pharaohs: Building an Egyptian Room

Monday, August 18th, 2008 – running time 25:45
Bert goes back to Ancient Egypt this week and creates an Egyptian room from scratch

Bert creates an Egyptian room this week with various Photoshop elements.

First, Bert creates a sky filled with stars by implementing the Noise and Blur filter, and then adjusting the amount of noise with levels.

To create a flame, Bert uses brushes and the smudge tool, and then colorizes the light with bright yellow and red.

For the ancient wall, Bert first fills the wall with color with the radio gradient. Then, Bert uses the Texturizer-Sandstone to give the wall a stone-like texture. He creates a window in the wall using the rectangle tool, mask. Bert then inverts the mask to reveal a hole in the wall. To roughen the edges of the wall, Bert uses the brush stroke and adjusts the hue/saturation. Then Bert distorts the wall (Transform-Distort) to create an edge for the window.

Bert makes a base for a pillar on the window by using the circle tool, filling it with a golden color and then duplicating the layer numerous times. He adds additional tones with the dodge/burn tool. And on the layer on top, Bert creates the pillar with the rectangle tool and circle tool. Bert adds a marble texture using the render clouds and render difference clouds to create a marble-like pattern. To make the pillar curl inward, Bert uses the warp tool.

Bert then creates bricks on the wall by creating a brush, adjusting the brush in the brush engine and then adjusting the shape dynamic. Bert adds the brush as a straight line using shift+ctrl+click. Bert then gives the lines layer styles for effect (bevel and emboss).

To create the bowl to hold the flame with the pen tool, layer styles and gradient.

Don't forget to design and e-mail Bert a background for our green screen! Please send a jpg design with size 1280x720 pixels

" Wow. This episode of pixel perfect has brought to you by Netflix and godaddy.com. Style welcome to pixel per it would be a host their monitor to show where -- kind of things can happen. First I want to thank Pete Steiner for this incredible background and yet. Not so hot here -- of the furnace but that's okay. Over it to do is gonna go from this modern. Retro whatever it is. To be ancient -- right now than create. He. Little scene and an Egyptian temple somewhere going way back in time out of things to be involved. But before we start that's thank our sponsors.

And references. Talk about anyway. That's going here and start to create RC. Now. There's going to be a couple of things here that I've done before predictions. Fit into the places sometimes in in different contexts it starts to sink into what these things do and by the way just for the record. I to check out the forms not -- today. But I do take out the phones every now and then I see what people of -- and have you noticed is not that LCD it's turned off so -- it not. So we don't listen to you guys and emails. I don't answer all of my do answer quite a few of them but I can't answer wrong. I've spent as it is right now posted three hours -- days answering emails because it's not just division three email that -- my own emails. So I spent a lot of time -- I don't answer your email personally. Don't take it as an insult it's just gonna have a lot you have to deal with I work on the average twelve to fourteen hours a day as it is. But amber has been an extra six -- is doing emails on going to get anything else done. So keep writing I would read it just because that -- doesn't mean I don't read it I to read that stuff. So now let's go in here and look at our Egyptian seen. And background here it's just going to be a space and create a layer because I I put everything to a layer and fill out there with a black. And it's gonna have a star field because going to be my time need to write so little bit of star field. Which we've done many times before and it's just too real quickly here at some noise. And had a lot of noise. And I'm gonna give it a little blurred just to soften it up and then going into levels. Are we going there and lessen the amount -- to become a historic field that we get these lights and there."

" And that's about like that will be a lot of stars. Sometimes I notice that on the screen just -- appears that's. May get really start I don't have to learn that one more time Barrymore for now it becomes these little soft little white lights back. Our rights and now. Inner layer on top of this thing to create little flame. His little flame Google white here and would create a couple little shapes has got a small brush. But I did Skype and school going to start drive a couple of shapes. Like so if so. The shapes to affect that. Pick up my little compression going for now live that has little thicker. I would start using most much to -- is a smudge tool to push these guys out. Those got a nice big brush. And it's gonna kind of push these guys out very mostly pushing them around to us to create these little. Remains they have a lot of ways of creating claim that the -- the previous show one time but here -- just do little smudge tool. A lot of code here just get these little. Who -- happening right through here like that get a smaller brush. And I kind of push a little couple little guys coming out this out of here system flames. If somebody's been Leo flame coming out of there and there's as little flight. -- and locked the transparency and that's it and go ahead and polarized that I'm gonna get a nice bright yellow like that and then with a much bigger brush. That's gonna paint brush. And make and it's a big that is going to throw little yellow into here Mexico and we've talked transparent CNN and we gotta get that go. Go -- break Leo and just a little yellow and there like that now get an orange. Nice bright orange flag that and a total -- arms along the top just to get a little. Thing going like that it undue that mess touch because we have a little pressure sensitivity going on -- it's been better off. And -- and I just kind of feel -- little. Red and and it's that I yellow back. And I just very -- to throw in a couple who deal with. Certain matters like there -- that's that's a good enough. -- that's going to be -- for the call explain. We don't lose it in the method layers that would be creating for the rest of this image so now. As -- But -- flame. Red over here. And that's enough claim it's unlock it and move it over about. There that's where it's going to be indices. -- now. Right behind aflame here I'm gonna create the wall. So we'll save mule. And -- to get some cause for that war so let's get a nice kind of ING days like that there's going to be like this color and down he'll get a nice deeper brown I bet. And with a radial gradient. Center right behind up flame here on the -- in that area of the world -- so now. It's going to give that texture. Good ol' text and Reiser and sandstone mode is perfect for that so go to cents down and we punch up that scaling and bring up at least a little bit. I'd slow and he -- come from the top that's good -- little deeper and click okay and now we've got this stone texture. Which I'm going to duplicate. And needed for something else this one here what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go and ominous electing a little rectangle. Break through here its its opens up to see some work area and select a little bit tangled write about. There. That's good like that and maybe bigger. That's good in my rectangle analysts say mess that math that there state and I got a felony invert that mask. So now there's a window it became a window that places that would -- access. Mighty little window it would looking through X amount of data masking I'm going to roughing up a little bit so regular faculty here. A little. Nashville so spatter. Who's gonna rough and updated it maybe not that much that it's bring up this movie with a little bit. I -- And if they rated me down just a little click OK so -- ended up. And -- February this Google earth just to soften -- that is an -- edges of of the window on the rough. Okay so now we've got this -- This guy here we're going to go -- am gonna darken it up a little bit so -- just go into are you saturation here. And get out of the window. And we've given me a job. An adjustment layer -- is doing right here I'm gonna adjustments and I'm gonna go to to human saturation -- going to be in there."

" Itself. So we're going to my -- saturation. And will darken a little bit. As to -- and guess what went wrong there that's the one. The one I want. So this going to darken it in his stuff was seen through the window. Right there like that click OK for now. I hate to go here and distort this want to distort this so want to do is that going here and just take this section. -- here. This though section right here I am gonna go in there and distort. So if they distort. In this part up. Like that and -- down the match that little corner there and bring this in ages so we have this little edge going right through him like that. Make that happen. Okay not going to and it's just darken that mr. stark in that outer edge it's a little more kissed like that they all right so now we can deflect that. Let's select this piece right here. This piece in fact you know what we'll do as well done this whole piece. How would do -- we'll select the peace -- here. This piece. Which will. Bring up to -- going to do with fifth at the start this one. When distort. You go in and they. Start. And bring this guy over to meet that little corner right there. Meet this guy over here but -- downs who have been nice even edge right about there like that. To make that happen so now we've got this edge happening there to a window right now this let -- outside part that's a little bit. But it also light coming in. Delayed its shining in from this from the camera here so right here from this edge."

" On the draw a nice little straight line. Right across. Like. That. -- All the way and in that area there we're gonna do it a little lighten. Only going to enlightenment someone going interstate -- it. And punch -- the saturation -- punch of the saturation is now becomes little. Area where the light. From my candle is spilling out into that area of the windows so we have this nice little. Do -- going to break through there nice and now -- capital pillar in there -- That's going here analysts at a blue circle in the center outside hold down my option key. Who has been sent out to a site that right so I'm gonna do isn't going to fill that with this kind of a golden color they have their. The use of color and then duplicate it straight up -- a few times. That he might arrow key and hold down my fault and my community. Which would -- alt and control which would be. Option and command on an act okay today you get this little base here right so now. We've got -- and how we can add a couple of additional tones to this thing like back here it's gonna be dark. Because at partisan shadow so -- might burn to a ministers darken that area back there darken that up. Right through there and gotta make sure. They put in a separate layer no problem you get the general idea how it works okay so there so now and a layer on top of that. And create loop pillar. -- little marble -- and create a long rectangle. It's like that and minute and a circular part to the bottom so shift. And we'll circle to the bottom of this part right here through panic if that rounded edge at the bottom and go go ahead and fill that with. That days. Down a layer on top of that layer on top -- that is gonna create might marble. Select the big area like that. And that's go ahead and fill that with. The -- that thing called doesn't matter because we're not going to create the color for a marble something -- here and get a nice big green. Go to that and then for the background color. Green that's almost black. That. All right so now what -- give that layer. The -- out. There's -- class which I'm now going to give that render clouds on top of that. Different products. It's a number of hit that. Grand theft a couple of times until I think getting a bunch of different iteration of the devices something that really like. I keep hitting it and getting all these different kind of textures having a good one as effective as looking really good for agreeing marbles so now. I can be select that and I'm gonna clip it inside of my. Column and I might want to -- in just couldn't -- The war protests at the side here will start to look like -- currently in in bird inward. That. There it's straight. -- straight. -- go all the way over."

" And treatment that a little bit and click okay and I see these sites start to get that curvature to a poll. Which not a poll have to have a nice little light in the area to. Seven go here and honest to select this little area. But like that. Where I'm gonna go in here and done that since soften that up a little bit -- given little feather. Gone and they've modified edits and asked us a little bit of us pathetic click okay and in a layer on top of that I'm gonna go ahead and so that would be with. They we for the with a nice what. Okay. And do a debt. And a the big screen mode. And lighten up in many past and there's that little light area it's affecting the poll -- month might want to move it over movements let's just move it over. There's just -- indebted to the poll just like be like coming from the the fires affecting that there it is the I think now. Let's start adding some breaks in his wall -- they -- on top of this are gonna get my brush. And it's victimized are great they about like that. And I got a soft -- flashes make a really small. That's a good sized right now it's gonna do that. -- do that. And go into a brush engine."

" And brush engine what I would do is I'm gonna go in here and set up a -- an amateur maternal depend pressure. But I am gonna change decides that it kind of rough looking line like that. I -- to have them come over here on the net new layer on -- click here. And going to shift. Click straight across to -- that line date and do one here to shift. Red Cross that's a little thumbnail on it. Click and move straight across. That's fairly. Close good enough to take care straight down and then it's to one right here. Straight down one right here and street that if some brick which another going to give this a layer style. There's doubts that'll layers does demo bubble of the books. I so an increase in depth on that today we see that we have these nice little -- happening people through it now in another letter. One more -- here. I'm gonna create with a darker colors go to black and going to just go in here and this new layer. I'm gonna take that same question just click here and go over here. Shift click. And that's available -- right that's make it into. Credit again click shift click beautiful click shift click. And click and shift click for now we got the shapes of -- going in the other direction going off that are. Edges and the insides of our window fanatic -- is just like floating in space -- to have something that it's going to be attached to. So I'll go in here and create a little lips. Right here from the -- out. There's gonna be a little bowl that's going to be holding things but move it up into place right about there like that. Right and that's who would -- there ago so this is our our little pole. That's what's gonna be holding our our era flames so in a layer behind the plain it's few famous. Linda -- we have a name for it there is way up there as -- so and layer behind it. Command click you later -- behind I'm gonna get some colors so I get a nice kind of golden color like that. And put a background color deeper brownish color. Like that and I thought the radial gradient right inside of that. You pay him right in there and there's a little bull. -- you know what if they can start to -- and drama. What differentiation there there that's looking back all right so now. Now that I got that shape if you my flame is sticking out there so let's give it a mask. Is a mask now -- hit that parts of in the mask I'm in the mask him and his wife for my brush. I'm gonna go appearances pain out that whole area so that my flame will come back on the top area my plan don't want to lose. But -- keep it inside them to shape it so now. You know they're behind it's I'm gonna go in here and create. The bowl. So it might go pen tool popular shape. They know that this. It's going to be a bolt that holds this whole thing together and it's. Close it off like that and go -- though there really dark. Caller almost black. And go ahead and go that path. That -- there it is then. In later write on top of that one who. Create these long. Polls and the whole whole listing in place. For one right there like that. And we'll give -- gradient. Given a gradient compared with cool -- going on here greeting just like that and then duplicate this. There. And there now got three of it just like that. All right so now. Now ever gotten it and start adding the drama that dislike you should be creating ports so -- war here I'm gonna take a nice big brush. Now is big. Burn tool and just kind of darken this area here and just -- these corners here and here now. That both should be casting a shadow so I'm gonna do -- going to create a shape right here. Come down here. Like so. Across. And finish itself off right there. Okay from now above this war right there unpopular war I'm gonna take that shape and fill -- with black. Which I'm gonna -- on hand banana capacity for that just a little bit. I analysts open it just a touch. Little -- just to soften it up a little bit. Now to get further ways to get softer so don't do them create an alpha channel. And how to count let's see the rest of the war. And an expose that area down below episode nine explain this whole thing here so I'm just go here and creative gradient and should -- That this area down here will be exposed. And I come up here low that alpha channel. And then I'm gonna give that there would that we -- shadow another gauzy blur. Which will be a lot stronger systems to get softer as -- gets further away they just like that. So now the final touch to -- that it is that that highlight if you that right well it's okay these places but not there because that's in the shadow. Seven to go back over to this guy here and separate that -- on boss. From that layer. On glanced -- state create layer. And then the highlight and but I highlight gonna take my eraser. And I'm just gonna go and in a race that part of the highlight. That's right in there. Shouldn't be seen because it's inside the shadow all of my scene here and now we go in and look at the full screen we see that we have this. Egyptians seem. And."

" You -- make it whatever you want change color of the walls puts them hieroglyphics and there are graffiti whatever it is you want to do and you had your own scene. This just a question of going to picking colors you want and so you want to be daylight. Keep in mind that -- satellites from inside. Going out of daylight outside in the light of -- becoming music going to have to have all these little highlights working in different directions. So it's just question of studying realities how it works and that you can recreate. Hope you learned something from this there was a lot of stuff going on there. You can take it to the next step and it did everything you like to see the show email me send me an email that Bert and revision3.com. And you can check out the pixel perfect -- act revision3.com. Forward slash or wrong. Join discussions there and those -- about -- show other shows and talk with other friends and maybe even inspire future episode and I do check out those forms. Also your artwork can be used as -- background entry for that already but. Send us some stuff we've been getting some incredible submission sent them to -- and revision3.com. And background should be. 1280. Pixels by 720 pixels and a JPEG and you'll -- stuff right back here. Remember the play's best way to learn to sit there and play. Hope you learned something today. I don't see you next week."

" Hello -- I'm just a little -- like well millions sincere -- late summer. Here's Larry isn't very back to school survival but W a wonderful thing to do -- so -- events like take a picture of that other internal Kelly's son has put his hand on the body of an analyst ridiculous costume. And does -- that tells me you know. Or a picture of Kelly and girl has had on the body of princess Fiona you know the character from -- favorite movies track. We'll take a picture of Kelly and I the only problem is that Photoshop and all the other programs in the Adobe creative suite costs so much money you probably don't even have a lot of money by purchasing the academic version of -- they did you know there's another -- and save even more -- there -- and it might just -- probably -- and I -- what's -- you -- It's called the -- licensing option or ask fellow for -- here's how it works. Your school makes steel companies like Microsoft or Adobe which allows them to sell software view at prices that are far cheaper than any accurately priced software. I think the Adobe creative suite master once and for example. It includes every software title the early days of Photoshop and after that's master collection usually retails for just standard for 800 dollars. A lot of money yeah academic version is cheaper. But celebrities of the -- thousand dollars but what -- symbolizes an option you can get the Adobe creative suite master collection about 500 dollars that's pretty good deal considering it's legitimate copy of all programs that makes for -- senator 500 bucks anyway as a here and then getting legitimate copy of some of Adobe or Microsoft products. That you can avoid the classic lime wire licensing option and definitely check out -- yes hello because they have a lot of money that -- Catholic imagery that the school internship Bible I thought -- Java."

" This little thing is small -- is -- the law allows him make phone calls without using my hands like his continue to work. Plus it feels about this down them Kelly constantly nagging you to deliver good sign -- see him -- an actual economic attitude and a little money because Americans to help effect."

Option and command on an act okay today you get this little base here right so now. We've got -- and how we can add a couple of additional tones to this thing like back here it's gonna be dark. Because at partisan shadow so -- might burn to a ministers darken that area back there darken that up. Right through there and gotta make sure. They put in a separate layer no problem you get the general idea how it works okay so there so now and a layer on top of that. And create loop pillar. -- little marble -- and create a long rectangle. It's like that and minute and a circular part to the bottom so shift. And we'll circle to the bottom of this part right here through panic if that rounded edge at the bottom and go go ahead and fill that with. That days. Down a layer on top of that layer on top -- that is gonna create might marble. Select the big area like that. And that's go ahead and fill that with. The -- that thing called doesn't matter because we're not going to create the color for a marble something -- here and get a nice big green. Go to that and then for the background color. Green that's almost black. That. All right so now what -- give that layer. The -- out. There's -- class which I'm now going to give that render clouds on top of that. Different products. It's a number of hit that. Grand theft a couple of times until I think getting a bunch of different iteration of the devices something that really like. I keep hitting it and getting all these different kind of textures having a good one as effective as looking really good for agreeing marbles so now. I can be select that and I'm gonna clip it inside of my. Column and I might want to -- in just couldn't -- The war protests at the side here will start to look like -- currently in in bird inward. That. There it's straight. -- straight. -- go all the way over."

" And treatment that a little bit and click okay and I see these sites start to get that curvature to a poll. Which not a poll have to have a nice little light in the area to. Seven go here and honest to select this little area. But like that. Where I'm gonna go in here and done that since soften that up a little bit -- given little feather. Gone and they've modified edits and asked us a little bit of us pathetic click okay and in a layer on top of that I'm gonna go ahead and so that would be with. They we for the with a nice what. Okay. And do a debt. And a the big screen mode. And lighten up in many past and there's that little light area it's affecting the poll -- month might want to move it over movements let's just move it over. There's just -- indebted to the poll just like be like coming from the the fires affecting that there it is the I think now. Let's start adding some breaks in his wall -- they -- on top of this are gonna get my brush. And it's victimized are great they about like that. And I got a soft -- flashes make a really small. That's a good sized right now it's gonna do that. -- do that. And go into a brush engine."

" And brush engine what I would do is I'm gonna go in here and set up a -- an amateur maternal depend pressure. But I am gonna change decides that it kind of rough looking line like that. I -- to have them come over here on the net new layer on -- click here. And going to shift. Click straight across to -- that line date and do one here to shift. Red Cross that's a little thumbnail on it. Click and move straight across. That's fairly. Close good enough to take care straight down and then it's to one right here. Straight down one right here and street that if some brick which another going to give this a layer style. There's doubts that'll layers does demo bubble of the books. I so an increase in depth on that today we see that we have these nice little -- happening people through it now in another letter. One more -- here. I'm gonna create with a darker colors go to black and going to just go in here and this new layer. I'm gonna take that same question just click here and go over here. Shift click. And that's available -- right that's make it into. Credit again click shift click beautiful click shift click. And click and shift click for now we got the shapes of -- going in the other direction going off that are. Edges and the insides of our window fanatic -- is just like floating in space -- to have something that it's going to be attached to. So I'll go in here and create a little lips. Right here from the -- out. There's gonna be a little bowl that's going to be holding things but move it up into place right about there like that. Right and that's who would -- there ago so this is our our little pole. That's what's gonna be holding our our era flames so in a layer behind the plain it's few famous. Linda -- we have a name for it there is way up there as -- so and layer behind it. Command click you later -- behind I'm gonna get some colors so I get a nice kind of golden color like that. And put a background color deeper brownish color. Like that and I thought the radial gradient right inside of that. You pay him right in there and there's a little bull. -- you know what if they can start to -- and drama. What differentiation there there that's looking back all right so now. Now that I got that shape if you my flame is sticking out there so let's give it a mask. Is a mask now -- hit that parts of in the mask I'm in the mask him and his wife for my brush. I'm gonna go appearances pain out that whole area so that my flame will come back on the top area my plan don't want to lose. But -- keep it inside them to shape it so now. You know they're behind it's I'm gonna go in here and create. The bowl. So it might go pen tool popular shape. They know that this. It's going to be a bolt that holds this whole thing together and it's. Close it off like that and go -- though there really dark. Caller almost black. And go ahead and go that path. That -- there it is then. In later write on top of that one who. Create these long. Polls and the whole whole listing in place. For one right there like that. And we'll give -- gradient. Given a gradient compared with cool -- going on here greeting just like that and then duplicate this. There. And there now got three of it just like that. All right so now. Now ever gotten it and start adding the drama that dislike you should be creating ports so -- war here I'm gonna take a nice big brush. Now is big. Burn tool and just kind of darken this area here and just -- these corners here and here now. That both should be casting a shadow so I'm gonna do -- going to create a shape right here. Come down here. Like so. Across. And finish itself off right there. Okay from now above this war right there unpopular war I'm gonna take that shape and fill -- with black. Which I'm gonna -- on hand banana capacity for that just a little bit. I analysts open it just a touch. Little -- just to soften it up a little bit. Now to get further ways to get softer so don't do them create an alpha channel. And how to count let's see the rest of the war. And an expose that area down below episode nine explain this whole thing here so I'm just go here and creative gradient and should -- That this area down here will be exposed. And I come up here low that alpha channel. And then I'm gonna give that there would that we -- shadow another gauzy blur. Which will be a lot stronger systems to get softer as -- gets further away they just like that. So now the final touch to -- that it is that that highlight if you that right well it's okay these places but not there because that's in the shadow. Seven to go back over to this guy here and separate that -- on boss. From that layer. On glanced -- state create layer. And then the highlight and but I highlight gonna take my eraser. And I'm just gonna go and in a race that part of the highlight. That's right in there. Shouldn't be seen because it's inside the shadow all of my scene here and now we go in and look at the full screen we see that we have this. Egyptians seem. And."

" You -- make it whatever you want change color of the walls puts them hieroglyphics and there are graffiti whatever it is you want to do and you had your own scene. This just a question of going to picking colors you want and so you want to be daylight. Keep in mind that -- satellites from inside. Going out of daylight outside in the light of -- becoming music going to have to have all these little highlights working in different directions. So it's just question of studying realities how it works and that you can recreate. Hope you learned something from this there was a lot of stuff going on there.

" Hello -- I'm just a little -- like well millions sincere -- late summer. Here's Larry isn't very back to school survival but W a wonderful thing to do -- so -- events like take a picture of that other internal Kelly's son has put his hand on the body of an analyst ridiculous costume. And does -- that tells me you know. Or a picture of Kelly and girl has had on the body of princess Fiona you know the character from -- favorite movies track. We'll take a picture of Kelly and I the only problem is that Photoshop and all the other programs in the Adobe creative suite costs so much money you probably don't even have a lot of money by purchasing the academic version of -- they did you know there's another -- and save even more -- there -- and it might just -- probably -- and I -- what's -- you -- It's called the -- licensing option or ask fellow for -- here's how it works. Your school makes steel companies like Microsoft or Adobe which allows them to sell software view at prices that are far cheaper than any accurately priced software. I think the Adobe creative suite master once and for example. It includes every software title the early days of Photoshop and after that's master collection usually retails for just standard for 800 dollars. A lot of money yeah academic version is cheaper. But celebrities of the -- thousand dollars but what -- symbolizes an option you can get the Adobe creative suite master collection about 500 dollars that's pretty good deal considering it's legitimate copy of all programs that makes for -- senator 500 bucks anyway as a here and then getting legitimate copy of some of Adobe or Microsoft products. That you can avoid the classic lime wire licensing option and definitely check out -- yes hello because they have a lot of money that -- Catholic imagery that the school internship Bible I thought -- Java."

" This little thing is small -- is -- the law allows him make phone calls without using my hands like his continue to work. Plus it feels about this down them Kelly constantly nagging you to deliver good sign -- see him -- an actual economic attitude and a little money because Americans to help effect."
