sometimes I will get a request for pool water to be placed in a pool and i need a way to do this more efficiently than I have been doing. Can some one help me with this. I have struggled with this lately on some pictures. I have added an example. I need to add pool water to this picture thats fairly realistic if possible.
View 8 RepliesI'm working on a background and it's supposed to look like that pattern you see at the bottom of a pool on a sunny day. Basically the shadows of the waves and ripples at the top.
I'm currently doing is a cloud filter, applying chrome and setting the hue/saturation to look blue, but it's not quite right.

Pretty much I'm looking to create a background similar to the background of the high school musical 2 movie poster. I'd post a link but I'm too "new". A Google image search of HSM2 should do the trick.
All I'm currently doing is doing a cloud filter, applying chrome and setting the hue/saturation to look blue then expanding, but it's not quite right.
I have a pic that has a really pretty view of a bridge over a little stream. Only problem is the water is covered with slimy green algee.

I was thinking about grabbing the luminosity of the waterfall and putting it above the replacement tiles. (Using various forms of blending.)
here are the samples and what I did. (i know the tiles are not distorted properly. I was trying to get the see through effect of the water first.)
I've never done this type of thing. (I've read about it before.) I want to make it look good since I won't be at this temp job long and I want to make a good impression. (So they will ask for me to come back later on.)
For the patio pic:
i'm not sure what to do about the shadows. I'm thinking of the same technique for the water edge. And I will be using 2 different tiles to replace the existing ones.

I have tried the basic reactor water and Pflow setup, as well as super spray, but neither seem to work. Is there any way to accomplish this without "faking" it by doing something creative with the water's texture?

When I check the properties of water materials, in the little preview window they are applied to a "Pool of Liquid" geometry. Am I supposed to create that sort of geometry?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have read and understood the Photomerge tool (and tried the process with the sample images that are in CS2). All this seems to be fine except for a couple of things...
1. To achieve 180 degrees I am going to need more than 3 images right? (overlapping each image by 15%-40%).
a. Can Photomerge in CS2 work with more than 3 images, or is 3 the maximum??
If 3 is the maximum, then it wouldn't be difficult to just increase the canvas width and add on? Or not? Or do 2 sets of 3 then hand stitch those together? What is the best process for achieving 180??
Also, I like to shoot just before sunset,usually. If I did a 180, say with the sun setting in the right hand side of the image, then panned to the left snapping as I go, I am obviously going to get different gradients of blue in the sky, (lighter sky to the right, a darker sky to the left)
Should I shoot in Manual or Aperture?
How will I get the tones in the sky to be seemless?. As long as I overlap by 15% - 40% all should be good?
What is the best process for achieving equal exposure in all shots?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am taking photos of parts for a client. I've got a pretty good method down with correcting the originals to achieve the results I need. First here is the original. I'm using different color temp light sources, the walls of the photo box are slightly gray, and the table the parts are sitting on are white. So i'm trying to achieve the most accurate camera settings to get the original below:
After doing levels and exposure correction in PSD, I get what I want. I played around with the channel mixer and color balance to see if I can properly correct the object so it looks like gray steel, and not having that slight yellow/green tint to it.
The only way I could figure it out is to just turn off the hue saturation and it gives it a somewhat decent result as seen below: But suppose my object is made of gold, or has a piece of plastic on it that's red; if so, then turning off the saturation will not work.how I can use other controls in PSD to achieve a more accurate result?
Let's say you got a picture and you start editing it:
DesaturateAdd some noiseAdd some random dustAdd some vintage colorsSo you end up with a picture (let's say 1000x800px, 72dpi) that looks fine on your screen with 100% zoom. But you don't want to use this picture for a blog or something, you just want to print it. If you print it with 300dpi then most of the effects (noise, dust...) won't show on paper because the picture is printed around 25% of what you see on the screen.
Question:
Is there a technique so you can control whatever effects you add to your picture when the picture is going to be printed? I could resize the 72dpi picture after all effects applied around 400% and then print it but is resizing the best solution?
how I might go about applying an old style 3d stereoscopic effect onto an image? The effect doesn't have to actually function, is just required to give the effect of the kind of red and green cinema technique.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a plugin, or a way of realistically creating, the technique of a standard SLR filter, to a CGI image.
I have seen a couple of big companies who produce images that seem to have a distinct style, and it seems to be the colour levels either are too saturated or over colourfull, yet they are very good and a have a nice feel to the images.
I think they must use a lens filter type plugin, but i cant seem to find one on the net..

View 3 Replies View RelatedWith the incredible amount of talent that exists on this site, with the "carded" pros and the guys who have been around the block and have hit every curb, it seems to me that a new forum catagory could be opened. "Tips from the Pros" or some such.
I know the Advanced area exists, and is rarely visited, and is good for those already 'advanced', but maybe something up front in the forum would help the average guy or gal. I've been doing digArt for about ten years or so, and there is not a day goes by, where I don't pick up something from someone else, new to the medium or not.
What is a good method to employ when using PS to draw facial features of an animal in this case. To be more clear, I know how to go about drawing the subject but would like some advice from those with experience on how to best draw out a figure in PS, such as techniques for getting curved lines that are not jagged, etc. Have found that the brush tool works well compared with the pencil tool, but I don't have much time in drawing out things in PS and would likle to hear what your techniques are basically for getting a nice looking drawing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've done a bit of photo retouching on faces before: removing skin blemishes, changing eye colour, etc. I've only ever made subtle changes though; I saw a before and after of a photo retouch job on a model that went into a magazine (can't find the link now) and the difference was staggering! Does any one know of a tutorial or reference guide that takes you through the techniques? I know it's a huge topic but I know my way round Photoshop and I'm keen to know the techniques rather than a step-by-step guide.
View 5 Replies View Related What are some good tips/tricks for selecting multiple surfaces. I have a model that is composed of something like 1500 individual surfaces. I'd like to know if there is a way I can select only the "Top" surfaces, or edge surfaces (or alternatively if there is a way to select all surfaces that are visible from the Top view or side views). Something like selecting loops, and chaining when dealing with sketches would be useful.
What I'm trying to do is extract the upper most surfaces out of an imported collection of surfaces (its a cube-like shape, not organic or curves), and then use them to create a thickened solid. I don't want to spend the time making the 300 clicks necessary to get all the surfaces by holding <ctrl> (not to mention a wrong click without <ctrl> could send you back to square one).
I started my head model with a sphere ad I moved vertesis to shaped it, created lips and weld it onto the face, created two spheres that makes the eyes. I added a skin texture, the weldings of vertesis looks planar ang blocky thatn round and I cant seem to make it appear like a pro one. Its even hard to animate. I just wish I can overcome this, im stuck.

I did a quick test and I found out that with VBA is much easier to use than .net: you can edit the source code while debugging, you don't need to compile and install anything, everything seems to work much smoother.Do I risk to find out that VBA has problems later in the development?
Where can I find documentation with comparison between the different customization techniques?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am relatively new to Photoshop CS2 but I've used other apps before. My question is - if I have a photo with a figure dressed in black on a light background, what is the besttechnique to use if I want to cut the figure out and put her in a backgroun of another colour, maybe a darker colour?
There are 2 issues here:
(1) How to create a near-perfect mask around the figure? I tried using the magic wand, it's very very close but there are one or two places that I am not happy about, such as around the face where the colour value of the face is close to the colour value of the wall.
(2) Since she is on a light baclground to begin with, wearing a black jacket, I get a halo when I put her on a darker background. How can I mask out something like this, and be able to put the figure onto any colour background without the halo effect?
I am starting a webcomic, and one of the scenes I have planned is going to be partially underwater. How do I do a good under water effect? I have looked several places but I could not find a tutorial on such. Plenty of creating it for a background, but not for what I need.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHow can I create the effect of showing type on water? I don't know if I'm going to explain exactly what I mean, but I am picturing a final product that makes it seem that the type is part of the water body (e.g. ocean waves).
So, the type would float on the waves while being a part of the same water.
