This week, Bert transforms a regular image into a magnificent watercolor painting.
Bert shows us how to create a watercolor painting this week with the magic of Photoshop. First, Bert increases the color of the image by adjusting the saturation. Then, Bert transforms his image into a pattern with the following steps:
- Select>All
- Edit>Define Pattern (name the pattern)
- Select> Deselect
With a new layer, Bert creates tracing paper by filling the layer with a white solid color and bringing down the opacity. Then, with a new layer, Bert creates a watercolor brush by using the Pattern Stamp Tool, selecting the Pattern of the image. turning off pen pressure (in the brush engine) and selecting airbrush quality and duel brush property (brush engine).
Finally, Bert creates watercolor paper by creating a new layer, filling it in with a neutral color and using the following filters: Texture>Craquelure, Blur>Gaussian Blue and Pixilate>Facet.
Don't forget to design and e-mail Bert a background for our green screen! Please send a jpg design with size 1280x720 pixels

Every Rev3 show has gotten that intro ad. I think it's a bad idea for them to do that as I think Gary V. is not for everyone. He's...an aquired taste if u will.

I really learn a lot from Bert's tutorials and will probably continue watching. However, the intro ad for episode 88 just about knocked me off my chair and made me want to go elsewhere. The format has bounced around a little, but seems to get steadily harder to watch. What happened to plain and simple with focus on the topic?
