I suck at photoshop. Could someone please explain to me how to color individual things?

Das Mustafah · 03-21-2008, 10:23 PM

You don't need to make a picture for it, you can just describe it and I might try to make it in Photoshop.

Hell, you could even scribble something out in Paint if you want to make a picture of it. It doesn't need to be well done, I'm just interested in the colors.

To answer your question, though, you can download the PSD I linked to in the first post, and then use it to color the layers. If you want to make groups of keys, just duplicate the layer that has all the keys on it for each different color you want, and on each layer erase the keys that you don't want to be that color.

Select the layer you want to color and press Ctrl+U to bring up the hue/saturation menu, then just mess with the options to get the desired result.

Definitely liking some of the stuff here. The patterns with the keys seems like it has potential.

**ShineyThighz** · 03-22-2008, 02:32 AM

i think it would be alot less painfull to actually just paint the base of the keybaord also the keys wouldn't feel sticky all the time, the middle keys where you type you can leave black, unless your going to use some of that clear plastic coating stuff then dont worry about it, but yeah i figured that it was probally better to leave it fairly simple

What's so random about it?

And if you're looking for a completely stylistic approach thing... Or whatever...
I prefer the category-distinct coloring, but here's some random thing you may find interesting or not...

Das Mustafah · 03-22-2008, 03:09 AM

The paint I'm using is made specifically to bond with plastic, and from my testing it dries smooth and completely non-sticky.

Silvuh, is the case a solid color? That's a very nice design, flames certainly? I think I'm very fond of the stylistic approach, but categorical painting has potential as well.

**EnR** · 03-22-2008, 03:34 AM

Where can i buy some of the paint you're using, I want to paint my arrow keys rofl.

**sarahxjane** · 03-22-2008, 08:14 AM

I wish I was good enough to actually enter.
Haha.

Plus I'm too lazy to try.

/ pointless post

Hm.
Maybe I will try though.

what do you mean by that?

Das Mustafah · 03-22-2008, 02:19 PM

EnR, the paint is pretty standard stuff, should be able to find it at any Wal-Mart or hardware store. The brand name is Krylon and the product line is Fusion for Plastics.

coolguy, I'm really interested in seeing your picture, but the image tag is messed up. Try uploading it to somewhere like tinypic and then linking to it there.

midorim, that's crazy. And everyone should try, even if you don't need the credits--you could donate them to your favorite charity!

**funmonkey54** · 03-22-2008, 02:44 PM

Like the funmonkey54 charity. I run contests on my profile all the time and could use some help coming up with the creds.

midorim · 03-22-2008, 03:31 PM

thanx

Das Mustafah · 03-23-2008, 03:02 AM

Alright, I'm going to be visiting my parents for a few days (don't know exactly how long), and I'm not bringing my computer so I won't be able to check this as often, but I'll check it as much as possible.

Continue posting any new ideas or messaging me with them, and I'll review them all as soon as I'm able.
