Hi Anderspcm. Would it be possible for you to create a short tutorial, showing the tools and settings you use, to create the effect with the ESPN logo on the shoulder ? Thx, regards Jaywol.
The shoulders
1. Create a new layer, tranparent, image size: 1000x400.
2. Create a line on the top and the buttom.
3. Drag the logo into the layer, and place it in the middle
(So far your layer should look like this
4. Duplicate all the layers, so you've now got 6 layers, 2 layers with the logo, 2 layers with the line on the top, and 2 layers with the line in the buttom. The Merge the a logo layer and a set of the lines at the top and the buttom, so you've now got 2 layers. Then click on ones of the eyes, and mark the other layer.
(Now your screen should look like this
You probably wonder what the lines at the top and the buttom does, it avoids the logo to make an ekstra bend, so the logo only bend at the end you wan't to.
5. Hold down CTRL, and press at the "T" button, now should there be a box around the layer, the right click on the box and choose the "Warp" tool.
6.Now "a fish shows up" at the top of the fish, there's a little point, and then you just have to pull at the point, and decide how much you'll have logo to bend. Next to the "FISH" box(at the top) there's a box where you can see how many % you are bending your logo, I normally bend around 40 %, but it can be very diffenrent.
The logo should also be pointing towards the collar, so you'll sometimes also have to use the "RISE" tool(In the same menu under the "FISH" tool). I normalle Rise half as much as i Fish.
When you've finished fishing and rising, you'll have to delete the lines you did at the first point.
Example on how you're logo could look like so far.(FISH=40%, RISE=20%)
Now you just have to do the same thing with the other layer, but remember if you you used fish at 40%, then you now have to use fish at -40%, the same thing with the rise tool.
You also have to do it like this, when you bend the logos at the side of the shirt, just with lower numbers in the fish and rise tool, I used fish 8%, and rise 6% at my Avast jersey.
The side of the shorts
1. Right click at your logo, and open it in Photoshop
2. Duplicate the layer 3 times, so you now have 4 layers, click on the little eye at the 2 buttom layers.
3. Now you'll have to decide where you want the logo to bend, I want the "ST!" part of the avaST! logo to bend.
4. Now mark the the ST part with lasso tool, pen tool or what ever.
The make a selection around the ST! part, and delete, then mark the other layer you've created, and right click at the screen and choose "Select Inverse" and press delete again. Now you logo should be devided in to parts.
Now make sure the you've marked the "ST!" layer, right clikc on the screen and choose the Warp tool again. The go to the menu at the top and choose Arc. Then a box round the "ST!" shows up, drag down the little point to around 20-30%
Then press enter.
5. Hold down CTRL and press T, then flip/turn the logo to the right and move the "ST!" part so it makes a natural composition with the "AVA" part.(I failed a bit on the example beneath)
Final result:
6. Merge the two layers together and place them on the shorts!
You just have to do the same on the other part of the logo.

Nice, should be useful Never had thought of that for the shorts logo, so it should be extra useful there Btw, I think you should consider uploading this one to the Tips and Tricks Editing Shirts part

I've been away from Cycling and Photoshop for some time now, because of that the season in cycling has come to an end. I think that within a month or two, I'll start working in Photoshop again.
I made these 2 minis for the PCMFreaks World Tour:
While you're waiting for the db to be ready, I thought I would show some pictures of some of the things I've made for the DB.
We can start on with the transferts, which I've made every single of. The transferts for the Pro Tour was actually made for more than 6 months ago, it shows how much work that be has been put into this DB.(Some of the transferts has been updated since i made these previews.
Pro Tourens transferts, anno 2006
Pro Continental Tour transferts, anno 2006
Continental Tour tranferts, anno 2006
Accessories
Well, enough with the transferts, and lets move on to the accessories. (I've made accessories for: Cofidis, Caisse d'Epargne, Saunier Duval, Phonak, Liberty Seguros, Discovery Channel, CSC, Davitamon Lotto, Liquigas, Rabobank, AG2R, Euskaltel & Gerolsteiner.
There is very few previews for some of the teams, because of my computer crashed, so I would have to download all the accessories again.
Some of those look great anders, really like the Discovery RR bike As a suggestion, I think the bottles would look better if the bottle cap was black when the top of the bottle is as well
