In this week’s video tutorial I demonstrate how you can take a really basic photo and extract elements to create an interesting design element in Photoshop. The cool thing is that this could work on almost any photo. All you need to do is look at the various part of a photo and pick an element that has an interesting shape to it. Then by applying this technique you can turn a noticeable object into a really interesting abstract shape. You could even take it further by turning the shape into a custom brush.

Sometimes our best creations happen by pure experimentation and accident. Sitting in front of a Photoshop file, you are 40 History States in, and then it happens—magic! You really want to be able to get back to that moment. To do so, make sure that you turn on the History Log checkbox in the General Preferences (Photoshop>Preferences>General [PC: Edit>Preferences>General]). You can save the information as metadata, as a separate text file, or both!
