For this tutorial, we will learn how to make a graphics preview for those out there that have graphics shop or just don't want for people to steal/screenshot their work. You know who you are.
Disclaimer: This is my own style, you are welcome to use, BUT you'll want to make your own type of preview. I've learned it the long and hard way.
Disclaimer 2: If you would like a watermark, I'm happy to make one for you. Please PM me if that's the case.
Enough of that, let's get started.
STEP 1: Open Photoshop (CS6 or CC 2018 is fine) In this tutorial, I'm using CC 2018, since I got a discount as a student ^^;
STEP 2: We're gonna use a 1000 x 800 canvas. Add these numbers:
In case you're using Wattpad offline:
Name: [Name of Requester]Pre
Document: Custom
Width: 1000
Height: 800
Resolution: 300
Color Mode: RGB ----> 8 bit
Background: White or Transparent
Then click the OK button when you're done :)
STEP 3: Gather your essentials
-Graphic of some sort (In this case a book cover)
-Watermark (if any)
-Render or .PNG
ADD PIC
STEP 4: Drag all your essentials into the new document either. If you want it easier than that, File > Place (or for CC users Place Embedded).
Make the background the same background you used for your graphic.
If you don't want to, make it a solid color. I recommend pastel colors.
