Photoshop :: Ghost-like, Glass, Transparent, Water Effect
Mar 27, 2006
how to do something like the following picture effects. I've been searching a lot and either I'm searching for the wrong things, or there isn't much info on this effect? =( The effect is kinda like a glassy, wattery, transparent object.
how the hands in this image was achieved? I have PSP v8 and have tried all kinds of effects with no luck. I have seen the same effect done on a horse also.
drawing a glass of water. I want to make a graphic with a cylinder, add water to it, then make it appear to have a glassy look. can anyone help me out? would it be best for PhotoShop or Paint shop?
I have an object that I need to photograph and make transparent for video purposes. How would I go about doing this with Photoshop?
I have a clean product shot against a white background, but I can also take one against black if that makes any difference. I tried searching the forums and the web but I think my wording was a bit too technical, and I was unable to find any information.
what this technique is really called. But if you look this link you see a flower that is kind of embeded into the background. I would really like to know how that is done? Is the flower a drawing or a photo? Is there a tut for this technique somewhere?
I want to create an effect wherein I have a pic with a drop of water, and I want to create a effect where the sun is hitting the water and gives of a shine.
ive been racking my brains trying to this effect in the picture below. I trying getting my image, using find edges> then masking and painting and its not coming out this way.
I am looking for a way to make a convincing cracked glass effect in Photoshop (CS3). Not broken (fragmented) glass, just cracked. It would, ultimately, be a layer over another graphic (a round gauge).
Ive googled many combinations of this and, while there are many tutorials that say they are for cracked glass, most are actually for broken glass, not cracked, and none of them, of either sort, are very convincing.
There are also any number of sites offering brushes; but again, the few that post examples arent very convincing, which leaves me leery of the rest.
I am open to suggestions, or if anyone knows of a tutorial site I may have missed . . .
BTW; I am much more of a technician than an actual artist, so my attempts at painting/drawing something have been, shall we say, less than adequate.
Am trying to achive the effect of the attached, I'm talking about the bottom half with the red colour. Sort of looks like water or wine has been spilt on the paper... Anyone seen anything like this, even something along the same lines would great as a starting point.
I'm working with a stock image of a girl in a dress, and I've dealt with this problem before; part of the background is visible through translucent parts of the dress, and her hair, which cannot easily be fixed with magic wands and with polygon selects. The background is a neutral grey, while the final product will have a mixed green and brown background. (earth, trees, foliage)
Is there a way to make a layer mask based on the degree of a certain color? For instance, the closer you get to this neutral grey color, the more transparent? The way I've solved this in the past involves extremely careful deletes and extremely careful erase-brushes at 2-10% flow rate.
Basically, I want to be able to create a glass effect on a square icon tile. I want the glass to be translucent so that the image behind the square icon tile is blurry (hence the translucency). I know how to create effect if I want it over some user-defined background layer, but what I am trying to do is a bit different. I need to import a PNG file into a theme program, and it uses this glass tile. I want the glass tile to have the translucent effect, but the problem is, I can only get the effect to work if I create a layer over a user-defined background layer. What I want is to have the translucent effect over whichever background is used in my theme program. I am not sure if this is possible to do with a PNG file, or even possible at all. If anyone could shed some knowledge on this I would greatly appreciate it.
