now just do the same thing with the UFC and Zuffa logo.

 

[lookoutawhale]

actually lets use another technique

 

[lookoutawhale]

because you cant always find a good PNG.

 

[lookoutawhale]

use this one: its a jpg

 

[lookoutawhale]

drag this to your folder.

then drag from folder into photoshop.

This way you have a copy of it if you screw up in your folder.

You could drag straight into photoshop from the browser.

 

[lookoutawhale]

and remember to be always SAVING.

If you accidentally close the program, all would be lost.

You got a nice ZUFFA sprite on hand? Is that what PS nerds call PNGs?

 

[lookoutawhale]

did you use the magic wand to delete the background for that one?

no zuffa sprite on hand. just this jpg.

 

[lookoutawhale]

ill show you an easy way to put that in though no cutting needed.

 

[lookoutawhale]

just drag it into photoshop and hit IMAGE -> ADJUSTMENT ->INVERT

 

[lookoutawhale]

let me know if Invert is greyed out in the menu. you would have to rasterize the layer first in that case.

change the blending layer of the Zuffa logo to LIGHTEN the black will disappear.

Speechless...

 

[lookoutawhale]

heres the masato logo

you can delete the words there on the bottom.

 

[lookoutawhale]

also when you transform (CTRL+T) hold SHIFT when resizing. It will constrain the proportions. Meaning Height and Width stay the same and the thing doesn't get lopsided.

by choosing LIGHTEN only Light Colours are retained. Dark colours are taken out of the blend.

There is also DARKEN which is the opposite. Light Colours are taken out of the blend and Dark retained.

You could put the original Zuffa logo and put it to DARKEN and the white would dissapear.

Very helpful there, I keep trying to eyeball this shit

 

[lookoutawhale]

k so for the text you can choose whatever font you want really. Just pick something you like and type "5 round middleweight fight..." in white

double click on the layer, so the effects pop out and then give it a Dropshadow that goes to the left of it.
