How the HTG Custom Valentines Were Made In Photoshop


http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-80.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-80.png

A size we’ve used for all of our Valentines is a 3” x 4” at 150 dpi. This is fairly low resolution for print, but makes a great graphic to email.

http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-81.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-81.png

With your new image open, Navigate to Edit > Fill and fill your background layer with a rich, red color (or whatever appeals to you.)
By setting “Use” to “Foreground color as shown above, you’ll paint whatever foreground color you have in your http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...und-colors.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...und-colors.png
color picker.

http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-86.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-86.png

Press http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/.../2011/02/t.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/.../2011/02/t.png
to select the text tool. Set a few text objects, using whatever fonts appeal to you.

http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-87.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-87.png

Copy an image from the internet if you’re confident your sweetie won’t mind a bit of fair use of copyrighted imagery.

http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-88.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-88.png

http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...11/02/Ctrl.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...11/02/Ctrl.png
http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2011/02/t1.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2011/02/t1.png
to do a free transform on your image, sizing it to whatever dimensions work best for your design.

http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-89.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-89.png

Right click your newly added image layer in your panel and Choose “Blending Effects” to pick a Layer Style. “Stroke” with this setting adds a black line around your image.

http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-90.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-90.png

Also turning on “Outer Glow” with this setting puts a dark black shadow around the top and bottom (and sides, although they are hidden).

http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-91.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-91.png

Add some more text. Double entendre is recommended.

http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-99.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-99.png

Click and hold down on the “Rectangle Tool” to get the “Custom Shape Tool.” The custom shape tool has useful vector shapes built into it. Find the “Shape” dropdown in the menu to find the heart image.

http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-95.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-95.png

Click and drag to create a vector heart shape in your image.

http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-96.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-96.png

Your layers panel is where you can change the color, if it happens to use the wrong one at first. Click the color swatch in your panel, highlighted in blue above.

http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-97.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-97.png
http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-98.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2/sshot-98.png

http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...1/02/Ctrl1.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...1/02/Ctrl1.png
http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2011/02/t2.pnghttp://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/...2011/02/t2.png
will transform your vector heart. You can also use it to rotate, if you like.

Add some details, like this Power or Standby symbol, which can be found in symbol fonts, taken from images online, or drawn by hand. Your Valentine is now ready to be saved as a JPG or PNG and sent to the object of your affection!
