what do you need it for? what qualities dop you NEED it to have, and what would you just LIKE it to have? There are several attributes in that picture you posted that one could consider -- the text (the font), the handwritten feel, the picture in it, the use of ornamented drop caps, and so on.

Have you tried creating it yourself? Have you tried looking on google's image search? http://images.google.com

That's usually a good place to start, anyway.

now thats a good idea.

Storm!, it takes most of us quite some time to tell you how to do this and trust me, you wont find many tutorials either...why dont you try it yourself first and ask us om advice when youre stuck.

its not all that difficult...this quick one took me some 30 min and im not all that talented

Hey!

I am already trying :-)

Ok to asked more specific:

1. How to get the wet look on the pages which you have probably noticed from the original...

2. What should I do to simulate multiple pages?
Should I just copy the layers and the rearange them?

3. How to build the look, where both pages of the book come together (the middle part of the book?

Next time I come up with my first try, I'm already in the creation process!

kindest regards
s!

thanks


ok, here we go:


1. How to get the wet look on the pages which you have probably noticed from the original...

use a soft brush, blending modes, opacity, maybe some doge, burn or sponge, some gaussian blur, just play and fiddle. to get wet edges (B), select "wet edges" in the brush palette

2. What should I do to simulate multiple pages?
Should I just copy the layers and the rearrange them?


different ways to do it. in my example (C) i used stroked paths

3. How to build the look, where both pages of the book come together (the middle part of the book?

the effect is exaggerated in the following example to show you in detail how it works

select the left half of the book (D), add a clipping layer and use a linear gradient to create the left side of the center of the book. then select the right side of the book and do the opposite. take a soft white brush (new clipping layer again) and pull down from the left edge downwards (hold down the shift key); adjust opacity and blending mode. do the same with the right side, this time with a dark brush, which I forgot to show in my attachment (depends all on where your light will be coming from)

To get a curved page (E); rotate the book, select the upper part and add shear (filter, distort, shear). do the same with the lower part.

the text... use the distort perspective tool first to distort the selection, rasterize layer and use the liquify tool to distort it even more. be careful not to blur the text too much. sharpen the text slightly when youre done. other way to do it; type a text in Illustrator (A), ungroup and move or deform the text using the deform tools (lot of work though).

and then there are thousands of other ways to do all this?but that?s exactly the fun of photoshop; no limits!

Damn!

Forgot something to asked !!!

How to get the ripped edges around the book pages?

I was playing around with this:

Selecting a page... going into the channels saving the selection using this filter: pixelate / crystalize then back to the layer and so on...

it seems you're using a much different filter or whatever to resolve the effect!?

regards

i select the page (ctrl + left click) and apply the wave filter to the mask.. you wont get it right the first time...it will take some patience

in the meantime i played a bit more with it, since its those little details that make an image work

thanks man, you inspired me!
