Blend Layers in Photoshop with Displacement
Posted by Adam Pash at 4:00 AM on July 29, 2008
Photoshop funny-man Donnie Hoyle tackles displacement in the most recent tutorial of his "You Suck at Photoshop" series, explaining how to insert new layers on top of photos without making them look out of place. The video demonstrates the method by inserting a new name on top of a jersey and blending it in with both the shadows and texture of the cloth behind it. The method is simple enough and the results are impressive. Like all of Hoyle's guides, this one's borderline NSFW depending on whether or not you're wearing headphones.

Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're not. But no matter what I think about that, I do like that it isn't your run of the mill tutorial video.

That wasn't funny, but at least I learned something.

The first "season" of You Suck at Photoshop was just hilarious. Not sure, but I think it's beginning to wear thin. The tutorials are actually pretty good though.

You suck at Photoshop made me realize I DO suck at it, that's why it's so funny.

The stammering is part of the gig JoshMac. Start at his first tutorial and it makes sense. It's actually quite funny.

Great, I can use this tip but the stammering is obnoxious! Work up a script next time so you can get your unfunny story out.

This video was funny. You guys should watch the rest of them to completely get it. Most of these videos give you some pretty good tips too.

His style of humor reminds me of Will Farrell or Ben Stiller. They both suck ass...and so does anyone who emulates their "I'm so annoying I'm funny" style. My advise would be to give up the futile attempt at comedy and get to the point. You obviously know your photoshop...so stick with what you do best...and leave what you do worse far away from the internet.

That reminds me of the kind of humor Will Farrell or Ben Stiller is known for...the "I'm so annoying I'm funny" kind. I can't stand that kind of humor. Lighting a fart with a magnifying glass is funnier than anything the aformentioned ever did. Good info...bad delivery. Advise: Stop trying to be funny and get to the point.
