• Graphics TipsPhotoshop Tip #16 - Embossing & Tiling a Logo
    Step One Create a new canvas & paste your existing logo or create one from scratch.
    Step Two Now select FILTER / STYLIZE / EMBOSS. I entered the 2 for the height & 75 for the amount. Click OK. (Make sure that Monochrome is selected)
    Step Three Now make the logo lighter or darker depending on what you want. I selected IMAGE / ADJUST / LEVELS and moved the bottom black triangle to 180 to make it lighter.
    Step Four If you want to add a little grain to the logo select FILTER / NOISE / ADD NOISE. I typed in 5 for the amount.
    Step Five Now select all (CTRL+A) and copy it (CTRL+C). Now choose FILTER / OTHER / OFFSET and enter in half of the width. 80 / 2 = 40 pixels. Now select wrap around and hit Ok.
    Step Six Now double your canvas size (IMAGE / CANVAS SIZE) and click on the bottom middle square and then Ok. Next, paste (CTRL+V) your other image above your split image.
    Step Seven To make your logo a certain color go to Hue/Saturation (CTRL+U) and play with the slider bars. I checked on colorize, Hue = -150, Lightness = 50. After a bit of playing you are ready to save your image.
    Step Eight Now look at the completed background.
