I previously wrote a post on 8 free Graffiti Font. This time I will write a post on Manga style fonts. Manga is basically a word for a Japanese comic or printed cartoon, so Manga font is fonts you would find in a Manga comic. The fonts used in Manga are unique to this particular style of design.

Below I have provided a collection of Manga style font which are free to download.

Manga




Pokemon




Sky Wing




Tokyo Roboto BB

In this Photoshop tutorial you will learn how to make the sky in an image more blue in colour. This effect requires using the photo filters from the image adjustment.

Bluer sky

Step 1

Open an image in Photoshop with a blue sky.




Step 2

Select the brush with an appropriate size and hit the ‘Q’ key to enter the quick mask mode, and then paint the area of the sky. The sky should appear in a red colour like below:




Step 3

Exit the quick mask mode by selecting the ‘Q’ key again. Then choose Select > Inverse. You should get a similar image like below:




Step 4

Select Image > Adjustment > Photo Filter. Then choose the ‘Cool Filter (80)’ and change the density to 30%. You can experiment with the various filters and densities if you wish.



You should now have a bluer looking sky. If you compare the original with new looking sky, you will notice a drastic colour different.
