/blindfold screenshot guide


Recommended Posts

I personally use Photoshop CS6 for my screenshots.

 

1. Use /blindfold and take a screenshot using either the GT-MP bind or using Fraps (whatever program you prefer). Afterwards, open up your Photoshop program and drag the screenshots you want to edit into PS. (I already cropped out a screenshot with the overlay turned off). You want to drag the /blindfold screenshot in aswell in a separate tab. You also want to crop down and zoom in on the text you've captured in the /blindfold screenshot just to have a clear overview of what you're doing.

2. Next, unlock the Background by clicking on the lock icon - Right click on the unlocked Layer (0) and click on Blending Options

A menu should appear with a bunch of stuff. Head over to the sliders in the bottom and drag them both to the right.

The ideal values for both settings are between 5 and 15.

3. After you've set the blending options, go to the little section on the right and create a new Layer (by clicking on the "New Layer" icon). Right-click on the new Layer and click on "Merge Down" (Do not click on the thumbnail of the Layer or the option won't come up!)

Then, you want to Double Click on Layer 0 or click on the "FX" button in the bottom right tab. A menu should pop up and you want to click on "Stroke"

Make sure the stroke is set to "1" and the position on "Outside".

4. After you've set the blending options & stroke, you can start pasting the text on your screenshot(s). 

Firstly, you want to head to the left column and select the Rectangular Marquee Tool.

Select either the entire part of the text or parts of it. Be careful, you might cut out parts of the letters

Either use the "Image - Copy" option or simply press "CTRL + C" to copy the selected part of the text.

5. Lastly, paste (CTRL +V) the selection you copied onto your other screenshot.

You'll need to Double Click and check the "Stroke" option once again after you've copied it onto your screenshot.

You can move the selection around using either your mouse or the arrow keys on your keyboard. 

Play around with the settings & positioning to create unique screenshots.

That's all! I hope this guide helped Y'all out in some way!

 

The final product should look something like this:
