Hi all,
i am new to this fourm, and i really want to learn how to make a waved flag.
How can i make such a flag? Can anyone tell me?
I am a newbie to Photoshop, but a quick learner.
It has to be a squared flag.
I will use it for my website, i have several on it but i am still missing a bunch of them.

John

Does the flag need to be animated flapping or does it just have to appear like the example you have provided above?

No not a waved one, just the same as above, but it looks like it is waving.

I had a quick go at it using a reflected gradient on a new layer, turned it to grayscale, warped it a little bit and changed the blend mode to linear light. Tweaking the gradient itself would give better results.

Ok, here we go,
Select the gradient tool, it's under the paint bucket tool. Create a new layer. Choose a gradient in the options bar (it's below the menus). I chose "Yellow, Violet, Orange, Blue". Apply the gradient from the top left of the flag to the bottom right. The angle should be how you want the flag to "wave". Press ctrl/cmd-t to get into free transform mode. Click on the warp icon in the options bar. Bend the gradient any way you like. Press enter/return to commit the warp. Press ctrl-shift-u/cmd-shift-u to turn the layer to gray. Change the blend mode to "linear light". Finally I set the opacity of the layer to 50%.
Hope this helps, if you have any further questions just ask
