How Do You Do This in Photoshop?

[Noimus]

Hey guys. I have this picture

I want to make the picture like this

Like the side are black and they are fading inward. Like I want to do that to my picture where the middle is the same but the sides are like that in the picture. Can anyone guide me?

 

[RT]

just get a soft brush and start brushing the sides.

But it wouldn't look nice and feathered like how it is here :/

100-200px soft brush (black) and fade inwards
Simples.

Also, they've probably burned parts of it and set different layer tones and then added some lighting behind the text.

Theres more to that image than just soft fading.

It would, or you can make everything black and get a soft eraser and erase the middle part.

wtf just use a black to layer, round gradient and you will have it :D

 

[Noimus]

i'm not pro in PS

with best of my knowledge, to get exactly that kind of shadings you need to edit 1st with picassa (similar application) import it to PS and play with Fonts.

anyhow, this link may help you fallow it

1-Add your image
2-Make a new layer
3-Fill it with black
4-Get a 1000px (depends on the size of your image) brush eraser and make the opacity around 50-70%
5-Delete a whole chunk of the center.
6-Play around with the opacity to get what you need.

Pretty simple and there are many ways of doing it.

Ok here it is on your image. Just use a black to foreground gradient. Very simple!

Check the PSD here

Just create a new layer above the image and paint it black, then use a big soft brush, like 80-90% the height of your image and click once on the middle of the image.
If needed click again and a bit to the sides.

Steps:
1) Open the image in PS
2) Add a new layer
3) Choose the black to foreground gradient with the settings as shown in the below image:
