I have 2 images, a fish bowl and a man. I am trying to place the man in the bowl so that he looks like he is behind the glass. So far, I have tried masks with at different opacities and blend modes and the two photos in different stacking orders in the layers palette. I am not happy with these results because you can see through the man into the background of the fish bowl.
how to draw a simple fish shape that is consist of an oval with 2 pointed ends (the body), and a triangle (tail)? What kind of tools (eg. line or ellipse tools) should I use? Do I need to set the transformation path?
I'm trying to add an effect on a piece of scenery I filmed and I need the opposite effect of Fish Eye. The camera pans right to left and I need the edges to curve in/up to give that "rounded feeling"
Also, I would like to give it a cinematic look. I can add the bars top and bottom?
I need to cut out some fish for patterns for the kids to make pottery ones - is there a way to make an outline of the fish withont having to take the time to use the eraser tool or to make just the whole fish black without the whole picture being a black box?
I am working on a 3D hat model for a soldier character.The hat has a chin strap made of metallic scales. See figure.I started modelling the individual metallic scales in Max. Can't take it further to finish the chin strap modelling.
I have some vague ideas along the following lines:
*Use the two modelled metallic elements and clone them, say, 40 times.
*Use a spline as a basic path for the shape of the chin strap.
*Make the scales path follow the spline.
I am finding it especially hard to take the two modelled scale like elements and turn them into a overlapping metal scales.

I was doing some "sphere-ology" and wanted to overlay a bitmap pattern. I tried to use a Fish Eye lens on a bitmap to give it some shape before applying it, but it does not seem to work. It will cut out the shape, but no distortion is applied.
I found this thread from a couple of years back on X5. There was no resolution.
I have run into this problem several times. CorelDRAW has "envelope" which works for vector illustrations. (how I made the sample) Photo Paint does not have a similar tool. How can I pinch the middle in PP. How to make the image on the left into the image on the right.
I have attached an image of a butterfly with a broken effect on its wings. You can see the effect inside the marching ants. How do i get this kind of effect?
I'm making some graphics to be printed on a car. I have some lines with outer glow on them, but Illustrator won't render these unless I use 72DPI in raster effects reslution. I would like to go higher, but it won't give me anything. Guessing it's to heavy for Illustrator maybe? Is there anything I can do about this? I'm making my graphics in 1:1 scale, but I do it in a lower scale since it's just vector art anyway, however how would that effect my glow? Since it's a raster effect.
how do l get the chrome effect on my solid model also the effect of metal's. I've been using AutoCad Colour Index - True colour and Book Colour, but it just doesn't look right.
This happens in all versions I have been able to check in - CS5.5, CS6 & CC.
Repro: Import any footage to a new project - any resolution or frame rate. Create new composition from clip. Type in "Crop" in effects search Double click to load it. Result is an effect called "Wigglerama" & "transform" gets loaded instead of the required "Crop" effect
See attached image below - cannot believe I never saw this before
Have a project and need to find a way to produce a x-ray effect on a object.
Some methods have entered my mind on how this could be accomplished - > inverting the excised object from my photo(s) > desaturate the objects > inject some artificial luminescence with glow or lighting effects > create a canvas for the x-ray - Before any serious time is invested I thought it would be a good idea to see if anyone has done this before, or has any ideas.
I want to put a Sun onto an existing photo that looks very similar to this with all of the beams coming out, to make it look very realistic. Has anyone got any tips on how to create this or a good tutorial i could look at?
I've tried converting my image to grayscale then to bitmap, round halftones but I cannot achieve a similiar effect. Was this done another way? I was thinking the frequency (lines/inch) of my halftone was off, would there be a rule to follow as to how many lines per inch depending on image size?
i seen this on another forum and i would love to know how the effect was created. The guy who posted it says that the only filter he used was gausian blur.
I am trying to get at is a frontpage of a newspaper. I am going to scan a newspaper and replace the headings with my desired text..
Secondly I am going to replace the photo on the newspaper frontpage with my desired photo. Now, the whole page will be black and white, even the photo. But specific objects in the photo will be colored. Eg, the shoes will be colored but the rest of the body B&W.. How can I get that effect?
I've noticed a new lil' effect goin' around.. Looks like the pen tool is being used but could someone make a tutorial as to how it's done or link me to one? (Hence I've more of a visual learner, I'd preferr a tutorial with images) Here is what I'm talking about...
(The highlighted pen shaped areas. I know how to do the pattern,text,button,border... I just can't figure out how people are making those pen effects...)
