Plasma tv photoshop tutorial     posted on 10th of september, 2007

Now why on earth would I want to create a stupid image of a plasma tv in photoshop for I hear you ask?

I was pretty amazed myself when I done a search on Dreamstime for the top selling plasma tv images. with a total of 275 sales (top seller is an unbelievable 132)

these three are the best sellers on Dreamstime and at that many sales it should convince you to add one to your portfolio.

And here's the photoshop tutorial you need to follow in order to do it.

Here's one I made earlier.

Sold my first one here on dreamstime yesterday. Yipee!
Comment by Elaine13 on September 28, 2007
Ok thank you very much:)
Comment by Tonygers on September 28, 2007
If you're actually making the image yourself from scratch then yes. But I think it's best to try and change something about it or add extra features so as to make it your own.

Are we allowed to use a tutorial to resell it on dreamstime? Is that legal?
Comment by Tonygers on September 27, 2007
I'm curious to know if anyone else has actually followed the tutorial, made the image, got it accepted and had any sales? Post your image ID if you have so we can all see it.

I have created a few TV's in illustrator from scratch but never really sold that well. Might have a go at the tutorial tho

A little bit of competition is good for the soul! ;-)
Comment by Maigi on September 26, 2007
Kidding... kidding... kidding... It's great that you share those tutorials and don't be afraid of competition. I have learned a lot from those and am very greatful to you.
Comment by Tonygers on September 26, 2007
Only if they can do it as good (or better) and as large as mine. But the techniques learned in this tutorial could I feel be used to create other virtual gadgets like mp3 players, mobile phones, computer moniters etc etc etc. I added my own stand and buttons to make mine slightly different from the tutorials and I would think other people would try something different to put their own stamp on it?
Comment by Maigi on September 26, 2007
Now everyone creates its own tv images according to your tutorial and won't buy yours?
Comment by Tonygers on September 26, 2007
Why's that then?
I'm not and never have claimed to be exclusive to dreamstime!
The image of mine of the plasma TV is here on dreamstime too along with several variations of it.
So please! Tell me why I shouldn't post this tutorial here 'cause i'd love to hear your reasoning?
Comment by Maigi on September 26, 2007
... so, you shouldn't post that tutorial here... ?
Comment by Tonygers on September 26, 2007
Not here on dreamstime yet but I have sold it a few times on another site.
Comment by Maigi on September 26, 2007
So, how is it? Do you have plasma-sales?
Comment by Tonygers on September 11, 2007
LOL
Comment by One8edegre on September 11, 2007
thanks a lot for sharing , :) i wish i could hide your blog somewhere ..
Comment by Tonygers on September 11, 2007
The software is definately a worthwhile investment and very easy to use. This tutorial only took a couple of hours to complete.
Comment by Cmarshall717 on September 10, 2007
I'd love to be able to do something like this but I don't have the software. I only have Photoshop Elements 5.0, so I'm pretty limited with a lot of the tutorials I see in these DT blogs. I know at some point I'm probably going to have to venture away from my "safety zone" of photography to art to make some extra money. I still have a lot to learn, though, because the terminology of "vectors" and all that is associated with the illustration side is very confusing to me. It's amazing how good your image looks!
Comment by Tonygers on September 10, 2007
Hopefully i'll get that many accepted one day.
Comment by Maigi on September 10, 2007
:)) You have a little bit little... not little... few (?), I mean not too many images online. 500 - and you gonna be pretty happy with your sales.
Comment by Tonygers on September 10, 2007
If I don't start getting some sales soon i might have to! ;-)
Comment by Maigi on September 10, 2007
Tony, it's so great, that you are sharing this information, and not keeping it as your little trade secret. Well done! :)
