<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a quick How-To for making pseudo Storyboard Art.</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Creative artists are being asked to develop media or to be involved with extended productions more and more. For social media, for animations and video you may easily find yourself facing the challenge of preparing a storyboard, you have the ideas but you really can't draw and you really can't say you can't.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enter in, Storyboard Maker. Show your out of the box thinking by using smart phone camera, or stock images or existing art and skip the drawing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This script for Photoshop or Elements takes all the random lighting and looks and creates uniform images to put in a storyboard layout.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>And its FREE</b></span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You just have an image open in the application, open the script and <i><b>fist-bump</b></i> you're done.</span><br />

Photoshop Tutorial<br />
<br />
In a very green
fashion, this tutorial will show how to add exciting art to brick
walls, or any wall image for that manner.<br />
<br />
There are
several things needed to start with. <br />
<br />
A brick wall
image. As long as there is enough unmarked area on the wall, a brick
texture or urban building wall will work well.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhza7QFxK_AFbD00wHpErV3Liw-wPDKzmbfrBVACt9Xs828yPaCtxpJH4Y28KM_9Y6q4R3U0s9mmUnBaVMbp9Cwi0NQ0MOVeSvEKf6NaddbOMBtT2CagkF09suDOBMsC0BESjdD5D320rA/s1600/bt1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="115" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhza7QFxK_AFbD00wHpErV3Liw-wPDKzmbfrBVACt9Xs828yPaCtxpJH4Y28KM_9Y6q4R3U0s9mmUnBaVMbp9Cwi0NQ0MOVeSvEKf6NaddbOMBtT2CagkF09suDOBMsC0BESjdD5D320rA/s640/bt1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
Keep in mind the size
relation to the art you will be adding. Try to strike a balance between
the size of the bricks in the pattern and the amount of detail in the
image.Your creativity, along with the image you'll put on the
wall, should determine whether the wall should be a simple texture
pattern, an urban building wall or even an interior wall.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHDkhxdvFE9bK4g-i4vqszWD0ivYnmSiJ9X81gR1q9GLZ6Qnuu8X6VDcfHeMpaQ20Zj64whWLGVaHb2cBBb-JHdCIJcZt1hw8o3qgirXVKtaGxVJOWrWHnXlxoumM6nbzpY2tmUd8VDKg/s1600/sample.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHDkhxdvFE9bK4g-i4vqszWD0ivYnmSiJ9X81gR1q9GLZ6Qnuu8X6VDcfHeMpaQ20Zj64whWLGVaHb2cBBb-JHdCIJcZt1hw8o3qgirXVKtaGxVJOWrWHnXlxoumM6nbzpY2tmUd8VDKg/s1600/sample.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />
Next,
you'll need the image that will be 'painted' on the wall. Make it big
and bold. Sports images, portraits and images with action are great.
Images full of color that have large recognizable areas work the best.
Here are some examples of online wallpaper images that are suited to for
the painted treatment.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
Once
you have the image to be used, we have to 'degrade' the appearance of
the image. If the image were <i>simply superimposed on the bricks, it
would look both flat and not very realistic.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6_zwX6iLoICyJX749gvuJ9cIL5eyUuYZEunKheMSYkgCO-Y1zPL7vpHoDiF98ld3XlO7Mdf37tBdgJol4UDlmW-Ivo7jFJfIfD3wCYlCpQCN9EcwyLtm8aM-m4rBGJkoMnoPInuiVej4/s1600/wo-effect.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6_zwX6iLoICyJX749gvuJ9cIL5eyUuYZEunKheMSYkgCO-Y1zPL7vpHoDiF98ld3XlO7Mdf37tBdgJol4UDlmW-Ivo7jFJfIfD3wCYlCpQCN9EcwyLtm8aM-m4rBGJkoMnoPInuiVej4/s320/wo-effect.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br />
In order to turn the image
into a more realistic texture for the wall, we'll use a Pencil Pixels
Photoshop script to turn the image into a plaster like appearance - This
plaster script is a FREE Download available at<b> <a href="http://pencilpixels.com/html/surface.html" target="_blank">pencilpixels.com/html/surface.html</a></b>.
<br />
<br />
Scripts are as easy to use as actions. In Photoshop,
simply select from the menu<br />
File --> Scripts -->
Browse and select the Pencil Pixels Plaster script.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Lets see what the
effect looks like on our sample images. Here you can get the feel of how
the end result will be.</div>

<br />
The effect provides a
roughness that will create more of a realistic wall texture. Run the
Plaster script on your original image.<br />
<br />
So, now to
compose the graffiti art. There are three images to bring into
Photoshop, a brick wall or texture, the original image and the Plaster
effect on that image.<br />
We are going to layer these elements and
change the Blend Mode of these layers to create the effect.<br />
<br /></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>How to load and use Photoshop Scripts.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pencil Pixels Scripts are as easy to use as Actions. One click and the effect is generated.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are a number of Free Photoshop Scripts on the Pencil Pixels' site.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Download and unzip the file into a folder and put the folder where you can easily find it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Open an image in Photoshop, then you can select the script t</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">hrough the</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">File menu >> Scripts >> Browse... menu (as illustrated below)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Select the script from the folder you've stored it in.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>or</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The script can appear directly in your Photoshop script list</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">File >> Scripts</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To do this, you just place all your scripts in the Photoshop scripts folder.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The typical location of the scripts folder is;</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For Windows : C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop (CS2, 3, 4, 5)\Presets\Scripts\ </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For a MAC : On your hard drive> Applications> Photoshop (CS2, 3, 4, 5,)> Presets> Scripts.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pencil Pixels' Glitter Styles are a great way of adding bits of glitter to images.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not just for the holidays, the styles can be applied to Fonts and Shapes as well.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Best Part, they are Free and this tutorial will provide you with tips for using them in a number of ways.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like any style files, they can be loaded into Photoshop (when open) by double clicking on the .atn file, or you can load them from the styles pallet 'Load Styles ...' selection.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are ten styles of glitter.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like all styles, you can alter the color, the shadow intensity and the opacity to suit your specific needs.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First open an image.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add a new layer (Styles can't be applied to the <i>Background</i> layer).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Select a Glitter Style to use.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using the Paint Brush, simply draw on this layer and ... instant glitter and tinsel!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The brush you select can dramatically change the glitter style appearance.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The examples that follow use some of the standard Photoshop brushes. A brush with 100% hardness</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(13) </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is very useful for accenting smaller areas of your image.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using a softer edge brush, like (45) will soften the edges of the effect. This is beneficial when you want to retain a dithered outline.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The numbers in the brushes' pallet represent the size of the brush. I refer to the numbers here as a 'name' to call the brush I'm referring to.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The effect of the Glitter style is pronounced when you use a brush that has dynamic properties associated with it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can set the dynamics yourself or use some of the preset Photoshop brushes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(29) and (112) are brushes that are preset with dynamics that varies as the stroke progresses. The variance can be in opacity, rotation, color, size and softness.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you see in the example, the bottom two brushes create a complex 'paint pattern' with very little effort on the part of the user.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since the glitter styles are ... styles, they can be applied to text, to shapes, to frames or on corner deceratives. I like the look when it is applied to a thin line and used to separate content on a page.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The effect doesn't have to be overt. In the example above, I used 3 different styles to play with the image. Spot them?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With a little imagination you can start to see the possibilities. Below, I painted on different layers with different styles and brush shapes. I then reduced the opacity of the image to almost 0%, leaving the form of the tree made up of glitter. Next year I may even put a Saturation Adjustment layer on top and let the image explode with color.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">In developing our New "lomo" files, I had to understand what lomography had to do with a social media craze. The research led me to appreciate the look that was being achieved by nostalgic, vintage, lomo developers. The feel that makes a contemporary image look like it were tinged with the remarkable beauty that someone actually cared to preserve it for all these years.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, it looks trendy by intentionally making it look old and neglected. OK. So I can do that. I have more experience with making things look bad then most people. Wait, let me rephrase that. I have more experiences to draw from than most. Having a background in the print and film processing industry, I saw what film looked like when it had been light exposed during development. I felt the irritating pain as much as the photo paper being dragged across a dirty roller. I know what a Polaroid picture turned into when the chemical compartment didn't fully empty. Lastly, I remember every Kodak print that slowly lost its green layer to the sun.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yeah, I know lomo. I lived lomo.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like all Photoshop styles, you <b>can't</b> apply a style to the <i>Background</i> Layer.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can also change the way that the color effects the image, by changing the 'Blend Mode' Property.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Style initially comes with the blend mode set to 'Color'. By selecting a different 'Blend Mode' you can intensify or dull down the area of the image underneath the color, and achieve different color values as it mixes with the images original colors.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you're like me, I keep clicking on different styles to see what works the best with a particular image. If the effect looks "different" then it did the last time you used it, It is a good practice to remove a previously applied style before applying a new one. With each set of Styles provided, We have a 'Remove Styles' style to do just that. [ a white square with a red line through it ].</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You are apt to have different sized images that you would want to apply these styles to. The styles were appropriately developed for web sized images. When applying to a larger image or a very small image, the effect may appear too intense or not intense enough.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First thing to check, is that the image is 72 dpi. You definitely will have to alter the style if it is applied to a 300 dpi High Res image.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To compensate for this, and bring the effect closer to the intended look, you may have to <b>'Scale' the effect</b>. To do this select [ Layer - - Layer Style - - Scale Effects... ] from the Photoshop menu.</span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This tutorial is based on the <a href="http://www.pencilpixels.com/html/e-Pencil2.html" target="_blank">e-Pencil #2 script </a>available at PencilPixels.com</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It starts with a good image. Like any plug-in or action from any company, images that are blurred, or contain a lot of image noise, or are overly compressed, dark or low in contrast, will yield poor results. Keep that in mind. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can adjust the opacity of layers in our scripts to increase or decrease the effect of the resulting image. Adjusting any of the the layers, for opacity, visibility or blend mode, changes the appearance of the effect and allows you to customize your end result.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Select our script from the 'Scripts' menu or 'Browse...' for it. Scripts are as simple to use as clicking on an Action. In one click, you get this result.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can use this as a start point to create additional appearances of your Photoshop image. If it isn't open, select 'Layers' from the Photoshop Window menu.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the example below, if you shut off the "Base Art 3" layer (by clicking on the icon box to the left of that layer) you can change the appearance of the effect. You can also darken the effect by turning 'on' the "Darken" layer.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You'll notice that this script generates a few layers that allow you to adjust the sharpness, lightness, darkness and texture of the effect. Again, adjusting these layers, by their opacity, visibility or blend mode, changes the appearance of the effect and allows you to customize the result.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
<div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Another example would be to leave "Base Art 3" on and instead, turn off the "Base Art 2" layer. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This will give a softer pencil shading effect, like using a dull or worn pencil lead. You can soften the effect even more by turning 'off' the "Sharpness" layer.</div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A "Color" layer is also available for you to add splashes of color to the Pencil effect. The color layer has a Mask associated with it. It currently is black and doesn't allow any color to show through. Select a paint brush from the tool pallet and select white as the color you'll be painting with. Important, Select the "Color" layer 'Mask' before painting. Start painting on the image in areas that might draw viewer attention. <br />

Now, some of the Pencil effect comes through the color layer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Another way of using the color layer is to remove the mask altogether.</div>
<div>
(Or by selecting the mask and fill it completely with white.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Select the "Color" Layer and change the 'Blend Mode'. The blend mode would be currently set to 'Normal'. From the drop down menu at the top of the 'Layers' Pallet, select 'Color' as the mode. This is shown in the top right area of the example image below.</div>
<br />

<br />
<div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Now for some more fun.</b></div>
<div>
This would be a good time to select the "Base Art 3" layer and select 'Gaussain Blur' from the<br />
Filters >> Blur >> Gaussain Blur... menu. A small amount should do, maybe 2.5. </div>
<div>
Set the Opacity of the "Base Art 3" layer to 100%, it will make it appear richer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br />
<div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Now to get tricky.</b></div>
<div>
I went back to my original image and used the #2 Pencil Script again.</div>
<div>
I also painted the mask area to show color on the girl's face.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In all the above examples, the "Texture" layer has been at the top of all other layers. Try increasing the opacity of the "Texture" layer a little, from 10% to 23%. Then drag the "Texture" layer below the "Color" layer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This really make the image POP!</div>
<br />

<br />
<div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
One last thing I'd like to show you.</div>
<div>
Paint some areas on the color Mask to add some color detail.</div>
<div>
Drag the "Base Art 3" Layer above the "Color" layer</div>
<div>
Set the 'Opacity' of this layer to 100%</div>
<br />

<br />
<div>
Now, set the "Color" layer's 'Blend Mode' to 'Pin Light'.</div>
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shapes and Text are just some of the objects that you can apply this style to. Shapes, if you think about it, are nothing more than silhouettes. If you have a backlit image, just select the black portion of the image, copy and paste it. You then can apply the Sand Art style to that new layer.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can change the color TONE, by selecting the 'Color Overlay' option and then by selecting the over all color you want. Select 'Color' from the Blend Mode dropdown, and use an opacity less than 80%. This will change the coloration of the 'sand' pattern to that color. It adjusts the color balance of the pattern. In other words, it will retain some of the original colors of the pattern but also saturate the pattern with your selected color.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another way of changing the style's color is by Selecting 'HUE' from the Color Blend Mode dropdown. HUE changes all of the tones (the light and dark sand pattern tones) to a single color value. The difference of Color verses Hue? When HUE is selected, it will display that same Hue, regardless of how light or dark or how saturated the color that you selected is.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The pattern's default size is 105%. This produces a slightly soft pattern that helps it appear as if behind glass. You can make the appearance of the sand sharper by setting this value to 100%</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Likewise you can reduce the pattern to 50% or 25% to give the appearance of more layers of 'sand'.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, as with all styles that use patterns, when the 'Pattern Overlay' is selected you can drag your cursor over the image and shift the pattern's center point. This is useful with a large pattern like Sand Art so that you can offset the position the pattern and change where it begins in your shape.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photoshop Styles are used in four major ways.</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
First, styles are created and used in order to apply a consistent look to fonts, graphic shapes or for use on repetitive elements.

Styles are generally developed for web pages at 72dpi or 96dpi screen resolution. If you are using the style on a 300dpi resolution image for print work or on a very large or very small image, you may need to scale the style effect. You can do that by selecting <i>'Scale Effects ...'</i> from the <i>'Layer Style'</i> drop down menu, in the <i>'Layer'</i> menu.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;">Layer >> Layer Style >> Scale Effects ...</span></div>

Once a style is applied to a shape or text, by selecting 'Scale Effects ...' , you can change the appearance of the effect. Here is a style scaled ~ 30%, Normal 100% and ~250%</div>
