recorded noise the autobiography project monthly archives august 2015 standard posted by beckoningchasm posted on august 21 2015 posted under digital art tutorial reflecting puddles this is similar to my previous tutorial but requires a bit more than simply flipping an image and distorting it a bit again i m using photoshop cs6 on a windows 7 pro 64 bit computer i ll be using a wacom bamboo fun cte 650 which is somewhat larger than the standard 5 x 7 graphics tablet we start out with this image which you can download here if you like load the image into photoshop and make two duplicates right click on the layer select duplicate layer then hide the background layer by clicking on the eye remember rule number one never work on your original photo always work on a copy flip one of the copies 180 degrees vertically then hide it edit transform flip vertical make the right side up copy the active layer using the eraser cut out some of the ground making a somewhat random blobby shape be careful about cutting trees in half as that will spoil the illusion now unhide the upside down version of the image and place it beneath the one with the erased areas notice that no dragging downward is really needed it lines up pretty well in this example if you choose another image to work on you may have to drag downward now create a new layer use the paint bucket tool to fill it with black and set the opacity down to 45 place it between the right side up image and the upside down one this makes the lower layer a bit darker as you might expect in an area with a lot of trees now you ve probably noticed that we still need a couple of steps to help with the illusion in particular this guy doesn t cast a reflection argh run it s a vampire just kidding it s not a vampire you can come back seriously anything that stands out near the artificial water will have to be copied flipped and placed into the image i like using the quick mask for this just press q then choose the paint brush and paint over the leaf cluster press q again to see selection note you may have to go to select inverse to grab the leaves instead of everything but the leaves then copy paste into a new layer and place this layer below the black layer i ve hidden all other layers below to give a better picture of the leaf cluster this tree over on the right also needs to get a reflection at least of the trunk where it meets the water we use the same steps as previous select copy paste into new layer flip vertically and place below the black layer you ll have to align them so that they look good to your eye there s no settings that i can give you for this and we re done any comments suggestions improvements or anything else you d like to share please feel free and thank you for stopping by standard posted by beckoningchasm posted on august 12 2015 posted under digital art instant lake here s an extremely quick way to add a waterline to a photo i ll be using photoshop ps6 on a windows 7 pro 64 bit computer although i usually use a wacom graphics tablet for this tutorial it isn t necessary we start out with the image below which you can download if you click on this we load this into photoshop and then the very first thing we do is duplicate it twice rule number one never work on your original image always work on a copy you can name the duplicate layers anything here i ve chosen top and bottom the top will be the mountains and the bottom will become the lake make the top layer the active one using the rectangular marquee tool select an area of the bottom half of the picture in this case we want to remove this area especially the foliage closest to the camera once you ve selected the area delete the image in the box by pressing ctrl x on the mac i believe it s command x in the image above you ll notice that i ve hidden the other layers this is just because without bottom being hidden it doesn t look as if anything has happened next make the bottom layer the active layer and un hide it if you ve hidden it go to the edit menu and choose transform and then choose flip vertical using the move tool pull the bottom image straight down until it matches the edge of the top image now that we have our lake let s mess with it a bit first create a new layer for the moment it doesn t matter where it s located click on the color picker and choose a color you like to make the bottom image look a bit watery i chose a somewhat warmer blue click on the paint bucket tool and making sure your new layer is the active layer fill it with blue move the layer between the top and bottom layers and give it an opacity level of 15 and there you have it in the image above i applied a filter to the bottom image i used the filter blur motion blur with the angle at 0 zero and a distance of 8 pixels to be honest i m not really crazy about the blur but i felt it needed something to help the illusion along if you come up with a better idea or a different setting i ll happily give it a shot and give you the credit thanks for stopping by and happy image making search recent posts happy part 2 july 2026 june 2026 may 2026 april 2026 recent comments sorialpromise on june 2026
