Preserved Topic: Wrinkled paper

Hiya

Im looking for a tutorial or something to make wrinkled (skrynkligt) paper, have trid some but can´t get it to look right... am a newbee in photoshop

Thanks

BTW have had my eye on this page for about a year and love it :-)

I made a sig a while ago that involved this, so I gave it another shot. If this is what you're looking for, say so. I'll tell you what I did.
Sorry I'm not posting the steps now, but I'm starting to see double double. It's 1::08 AMM.

OK, have you learned to use the Lighting Effects filter yet? You need it for this pattern. What you want to do is go to your channels and run the "clouds" filter on a channel there. That mottled grey background will now be used as a texture map in LE filter on a flat panel of some pale color in a layer. This will give you kind of a stone/crumple look. (I hesitate to mention how I did it the first time, using scanner art, heh.)

Your pal, -doc-

Ever thought about taking a peice of paper, wrinkling it, and scanning it? Or taking a picture of it and scanning the picture?

If you're going for the lined paper effect, run a displace filter using the same bump map that Doc was talking about. This will distort the lines so that they look like they are actually on wrinkled paper, just like in ratdoodoo's pic. Steve has a great tutorial on this over at www.gurusnetwork.com.

I wanted to test scaning a wrinkled paper but I dont have the time.. I am a full time worker ( 40/w) and a full time student (40h/w) so I dont have that much time finding a comp with a scanner... I have played around with the LE filter some on my lunch break and if I´ll find a place to put the pic I´ll show U my ide´s

I used the Wrinkled Paper filter to create this. Feel free to use it for whatever you want since you don't have easy access to a scanner. Hope it helps ya.

This has piqued my interest, though. Thinking of how to make realistic crumpled paper using Photoshop. ratdoodoo's image is very nice, but if you look at real paper, you'll notice that the contrast is sharper and the wrinkles are less rounded and more like little peaks. I wonder how to do that. I'm sure Clouds is the place to start.
