Marty, I just want to say Thank You for these incredible tutorials. I tried this Lego one yesterday and it worked beautifully. I added to it by incorporating the actual "Lego" name seen on the actual studs by selecting the text and copying it onto the stud cap, then using similar bevel and emboss / drop shadow techniques you had used in creating the look of the stud. Worked great. As always, your instructions are concise, simple to follow, and help this amateur Photoshopper immensely. Subscriber for life! Thanks again!!! Brad

This was really helpful thank you, I had to tweek a few stages as I have photoshop elements, which doesn't have the defined embossing sliders, but it worked! Thank you 😃

Thank you for a great video! I would like to ask you if is possible to count on photoshop, how many dots/lego are for example red, gree, blue and so on. I want to buy small lego bricks and build it! Thank you !

SO I'm trying to do this lego tutorial, (i'm using CS6) and when i drag the built lego cube, 1 big block if formed... why is it not filling the whole image too many lego cubes and another thing i'm doing wrong it building the cube itself, it's not really changing look when I built it --- help, thanks my man. ---- i'm also just taking a screen shot from a photo off google, would that effect the image and pixels, should i be changing it's image size???

[Jishnucreations]

i done this ..but that circle is not shown..really this was helpful..I changed my cousin picture into lego..she told me it is a cool picture, , .thank u..i going to try next..

[cronas]

Confused....changing the resolution from 150 down to 72...isn't that reducing the quality??

[osamaexking]

Pixelate the picture will make it unrecognizable, i didn't do that, and i got better results. but great video nonetheless.

Kinda reminds me of Lego Star Wars when I was a kid haha

[SueJamesonEnglishWoman]

Wow, that is very cool. Much harder to follow without the subtitles though, even a transcript would suffice.

Would resolution remove pixels from a bad picture?If yes how.If No what would do it?
