Adobe photoshop icon 20208/30/2023 ![]() I'll show you where to find them and how to load them so you'll have access to every gradient, pattern and shape that's included with Photoshop! Most are hidden, including hundreds of new shapes just waiting to be found. In fact, only a few of Photoshop's new patterns and shapes are available to us by default. Adobe now calls them legacy gradients, patterns and shapes, and in this tutorial, I'll show you where to find them.Īnd the legacy ones are not all that's missing. ![]() But the old ones are not gone, they're just hidden. And it looks like the new ones are now all we have. Last step! Create a black circle under the ball then give it the Blur Effect (Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur).In this tutorial, I show you where to find and how to load the missing gradients, patterns and shapes in Photoshop! Back in Photoshop 2020, Adobe replaced the classic gradients, patterns and shapes that had been part of Photoshop for years with brand new ones. Then brush (b) that shape to put a glossy touch on the ball.Create a highlight using the Pen Tool (p).Use a smaller diameter brush and a lighter color for the second gradient highlight.Take darker color (#9d956e) and brush (b) the edge of the image to create a soft gradient.Make a round shape using Elliptical Marquee Tool (m) and fill it with white color.Put another black circle on top of the pool table hole shape, then highlight the back pool table hole using the Brush Tool (b). Then add “Noise” onto the Green Shape Layer (Filter > Noise > Add Noise). Similar to STEP 8, add depth to the Green Shape by adding a darker color with the Brush Tool (b). Go back to Layer 3 and give it an Outer Glow effect (see below). Now, make a new shape (and layer) using the Ellipse Tool - fill it in with black. The Green Shape should be lined up with Layer 3. Then cut (press delete) on the Green Shape Layer. You will see a selection - dotted lines around the elements - is created.Ĭlick back on the Green Shape Layer in the Layers Palette, but make sure the selection you’ve made is from Layer 3. To do this, select Layer 3 by holding the ctrl button and clicking on that layer in Layers Palette. Now we want to delete the green area that touches outside of Layer 3. Cut the Green Shape Layer to fit into Layer 3 We will call this layer, Green Shape Layer. Duplicate Layer 3ĭuplicate Layer 3 (ctrl+j), fill it (alt + delete) with a green color (#005e20), then move it slightly down. This step is similar to STEP 5 and STEP 6.ĭon’t forget to darken Layer 3 by adjusting the Curves setting (ctrl+m). Select the shape (alt + enter) then copy Layer 2 (ctrl+c then ctrl+v) onto Layer 3. Draw the 3rd shapeĬreate a new layer and use the Rounded Rectangle Tool and Ellipse Tool to make 2 new shapes (see below). Again, double click Layer 2 in the Layer Palette to get to Layer Style settings. Moving onto Layer 2, we are going to turn on Inner Glow. Add more depth with the Brush ToolĪdd depth to Layer 1 by shading darker colors with the “Brush” Tool (b). I only selected the Inner Shadow and Inner Glow settings. Add depth using the Layer Style settingsĭouble click Layer 1 in the Layer Palette, then set the Layer Style settings like below. Use the Curves setting (ctrl+m) to make Layer 1 darker than the other. So now we have two layers with wooden texture but in different heights. Select the shape (alt + enter), then copy the first layer onto the second shape (ctrl+c then ctrl+v). Use guidelines, if you find it difficult to make both shapes with the same width. Draw the 2nd shapeĪgain, with the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U) draw the same shape but make it shorter than the first wood shape (about 6 pixels from the bottom). Create a wood effectĬreate a wood effect using “fibers” from the filter menu (Filter > Render > Fibers), make sure you set the foreground color with #b67032 and the background color with #72319b. Take the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U), draw a shape then fill it in with color (#b67032). Since this is going to be used on-screen, we must set the color mode to RGB (not CMYK) and the resolution to 72 pixels (not 300). We will be designing our icon at 1024×1024 pixels but feel free to design yours at 256×256 or 512×512 pixels. And the best part: I’ll show you how to produce impressive results in a SHORT period of time. ![]() In this tutorial, I’ll use Photoshop to explain how to make a cool app icon for a pool game application. We also know that a successful icon will attract more consumers to the application itself. As designers, we know what an app icon is: a small graphical symbol that represents an application program.
