Step 1: Create a new 200px by 100px document with a white background, add a new transparent layer on top, and select it. Then, using the Single Row Marquee Tool, select a row near the bottom of the canvas. Step 2: Choose Filter > Noise > Add Noise from the menu, and input an Amount of 400, Distribution of Gaussian, and ensure that Monochromatic is checked. Once this is done, go to Edit > Free Transform > Scale and move the centre node upward to a satisfactory height. Then hit ENTER on the keyboard. Step 3: Now its time to trim your barcode into something a bit more manageable. Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool and the DELETE key on excess parts of your creation until it looks something like my example on the left. Step 4: Of course, no barcode is complete without numbers, so use the Rectangular Marquee Tool once again to remove a small area from the bottom. Step 5: Now all you have to do is add some numbers with the Type Tool (the Arial font work's well), and you are done. SHOW ME YOUR RESULTS, AND LEAVE FEEDBACK!
Not a bad tut, simple and easy. Not sure where the effect could be used..other than on the back of some supermarket item.
To fake barcodes or so? But can't find a use in that either lol Anyway, the outcome is pretty realy, except for very few use or maybe as a faded background, nice job.
you could use this like a pattern... Just set it on darken or lighten to get rid of one of the colors then set lower the opacity or something. or just set it on overlay right away....
Yeah, theres a couple ways you can use this, but if neone wanted to know how to make a barcode, this is def the tut, gj!
