From time to time I'm asked to create logos and I do it using CorelDRAW. But when I present them to my clients I do it only the old 2D way.
I would like to go beyond that and start to use those nice, sophisticated mockups with which one can apply logos to different surfaces, like business cards, walls, etc.
I found this tutorial where the guy uses Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and talks about "Smart objects" while dealing with mockup layers and stuff.
How to present your logo with mockup. Adobe Photoshop tutorial
If I get those tutorial files, is it possible to get the same results using PP '17? If possible, how? Are there "Smart objects" equivalents in it?
FYI I'm a newbie to this program. I use DRAW most of the time and PP only occasionally for simple tasks. I tried to find clues from the tutorials available through PP's welcome screen TNA. TIA.
Has anyone seen just how awful and slow smart objects are? Like Myron says just domit in Draw.
Really good job TetroDesign. You have done in 13 minutes and not in a few hours hard working as i said :) Really good job. Now, could you add this 3d effects to any logo(like in PS in just one click) or you need to do separately for any logo?Is there any solution to record all your steps in Scripts Docker and then add the recorded macro to any logo?
I understand that one can do almost anything in DRAW as to realistic imagery, but it takes talent, time, and of course the program's available resources. And even at an intermediate level of skill with DRAW I know I can import textures, add extrusion, perspective, shadows, etc.I also know that using such popular mockups is not a "creative" approach, but my point here is just to know if PHOTO-PAINT can do what Photoshop does with that kind of PSD mockups. Which BTW brings this interesting question: are there mockups like these in the CPT or other compatible formats?
Based on the message about losing the styles in layers and the "leveling" thing (if it's the right term), maybe I can ask someone who has Photoshop to do that "leveling" for me, so I can try in PP with the "corrected" PSD file. My first thought (and hope) is that then I will be able to follow the easy steps the guy showed in his tutorial. That is, just replace the mockup logo with mine in just a few clicks.
Yes, it can be done in PhotoPaint with the help of Plug-ins. But it is a lot of work too!
