Photoshop: Create a Classic Retro, 1980’s ROCK Poster!

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

I overlooked a step for which I apologize! At 5:43, before you click the Layer mask icon, Alt-click it (Windows) or Option-click it (Mac) to make an inverted layer mask of the selection.

You rock, Marty. I love your videos!👍

Two of my favorite 1980’s albums. Great job, Marty. You do things nobody else does here.

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

Anything poster related you’ve got me. Add 80s styles in to that and I’m a friend for life Marty. But you knew that anyway 😆

Marty… great vids. You are to Photoshop what Carl Sagan was to astrophysics wrt making complex subjects easy to understand!! Nicely done Marty!

Amazing!! I love this effect!!!!

Thanks as always, Marty. I intend to try this.

[@bh8365]

I spent hours on this. Made notes. It took a few tries after missteps. Results were pleasing, but I need more skills on fine tuning the font adjustments. Thanks, Marty.

Great..thanks again

5:50 I think another way you could have hidden the white parts is to just set the blend mode of the smart object layer to multiply.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Changing the blend mode to Multiply won't match the dark grey color of the bars.

@@BLTV_Photoshop also at 5.50 or so when ctrl clicking the "bar" layer, when in the next step pressing "layermask" it doesnt work. The bars or colored shape behind the photo comes to the front and no matter what i do i cant get it to work lol Prob something silly but still .. when you make the new layer mask the photo is in the forefront i just dont get it lol. advice pls?😂

Very good Marty, thanks a lot! Really genuinely 1980s look 👏🏻 Not sure if anyone else reported any problems, but the link for the Mr Alex-BOLD Font provided doesn't work for me - takes a while to download, then pops up a dialog "POST ERROR...!"

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Thank you for letting me know. The link does work on my end, but to ensure the font can be downloaded, I uploaded it to my One Drive and updated the link in the video's description. 👍

@@BLTV_Photoshop Thank you, much obliged.

Cool tutorial, but doesn't work at 5:50. Looks like most of us get stuck here. For those of you who were able to finish, any suggestions here?
