I've been trying to achieve the same look as this chocolate bar... after many months I kind of gave up on making the aluminum foil part My question is about the wrapper. I can see the shadows and I was able to do that.. kind of.. but how about the light on the wrapper? I've been using bevel and emboss and tried 360 degree of light direction and it doesn't look like that at all...
I am attempting to build a facsimilie enigma machine, I would like to know how best to create an effect so that when a key is pressed a corresponding letter appears to light up. Btw I am not looking for an animated image, I can take care of the transitions between on and off, I just need to create the two image states.
i am trying to use this photo into this one, I am trying to get the house to sit in the shadow of the light, (like it is illuminated) but am getting into a right mess.
Because of the lighting, the small craters in the wall are filled with shadow. I want to get rid of these shadows and highlight them instead (I want them to be brighter than the rest of the wall).
Every time I try to select the shadows and replace them with light the edges are to hard and the color difference is too big with the rest of the wall. Also I think my selections aren't precise enough.
When you apply a drop shadow, the shadow is cast in the same direction from all parts of the object. E.g. the shadow is projected to the right and downwards from the object. In other words the light source is far away and it produces parallel rays of light.
Is there a way to cast a shadow where the light source is quite close to the object? For example imagine the light source was just above the object. Parts of the object on the left would have their shadow projecting to the left and down and parts of the object on the right would have a shadow projecting to the right and down.
I have a little problem during rendering interior of apartment. I am using Auto Cad 2009 and I have trouble with shadow and light. In realistic view, when I turn on the sunlight, inside of apartment iz visible only the part of the room on which the sunlight is falling through the windows, and I can't make the rest of the room visible as it should be during the day. Here are the pictures. First is without shadow and light, second is with shadow and light, and on the third is additionally turned on background sky.
I just saw a concert on television (A-Ha in Norway). The stage was bathed in blue and there were these very intense green stage lights with 6 point light effects to the (I'm not sure what you call them, but they are like you see on Christmas cards or when using certain camera filters.)
I am trying to replicate the attached effect and am wondering the best way to go about doing so. I need to make mocks of a Facebook game for this company so it should be a close as possible. Particularly, I need to generate the blurry circles and grainy-ish effect that is primarily seen on the orange background where the nav bars lies. I could, of course go circle by circle, but I feel like I've seen a filter to create these circles before.
how to do an animation effect. Its pretty common but I dont what its called. A 'light' or lights that travel down a line, straight or curved in one or both directions. Kinda like an old movie house marquee. In this example image, the red light moves to the right and reverses at the end of the line and goes the other way. I dont know if this makes a difference but the image I want to create may include use of the vanishing point tool.
I try from using the simple drop shadow fx or complex suggestions building several different layers, I never see the final effect on the photo. I even click and unclick "preview" but it makes no difference. The photo displayed in my CS4 window continues to look just like the photo when I first opened it. Am I supposed to flatten the layers or somehow bring them together into one layer?
Win 7 OS. I am trying to use the light effect filter and when I select it photoshop gets locked up and won't respond until I end task in task manager (it says photoshop not responding in task manager). Is there a fix for this? I did all of my updates and it still happens.
Ive seen a lot of this type of graphics pop up everywhere for sometime now. And i know from the animated clips that a lot of it is done in 3d. But if i were to create it in PS as a still frame, how do you go about making it look the way it does? I can imagine you could do it by creating lines and making copies of it and varying each a little bit, add some color overlays etc etc. And then there is the motion blur effect theyve got on it. Not sure how to go about that, but overall that looks like a lot of hard manual labour.
I'm editing a photo of my friend playing a musical instrument. The photo is completely black except for him and the picture is of his profile. I want to add realistic stage lights without the corney lensflare effect. The lights would be added to appear as if the camera is looking right into them.
I have this laptop object image (laptop_img.jpg) and I want to create a mirror effect like mirror_img.jpg.
I understand that using stamp tool and doing some rotating can achieve this effect. But however, no matter, how many 90 degrees I turn for this image, I just can't achieve the mirror effect.
I'm sure i can locate a tutorial for clouds, Just i am recreating this cloud BG effect but i cant find that really nice bright light effect over the clouds and the really bright shine around the human layer.
i design and print t-shirts and use photoshop for all my designs. a customer recently asked me to print a photo of her son on a shirt..but she wanted the image to look like it was airbrushed onto the shirt. ive looked around but havent had any luck finding tutorial on the subject.
So I have successfully used the drop shadow effect in PSE 6.  But I can't figure out how to disengage this effect. I started using the clone stamp tool after I was done with drop shadow, and now all of my clone stamps have drop shadows!  I don't want no more drop shadow. How do I get it to stop? I've looked and looked and don't see anything obvious.
I want to do a sign with a moving shadow effect that hides/shows some parts of my sign. The effect I want is similar to the one that LiQuidSin uses in his sign. Anyone knows how to do this? is that with imageready?
