Using Photoshop to make "fan" special effects

Photoshop can also pass "love"? It's true? Why didn't you say so earlier! Look at your hurry, and listen to me slowly! One day, a friend showed me a printed "little Swallow" Zhao Wei's paper fan, ask me if I can through the computer technology to his favorite mm beautiful photo also like "Little Swallow" as printed on the "fan" on? After some groping, I finally met his wish. When beautiful mm see him with e-mail sent to the "fan", laugh mouth are closed! Needless to say, my friend's a "good hard intentions" did not in vain, beautiful mm to him also ... (What, Heartbeat?) Come with me and try it! )

Make a slice profile

1, in Photoshop 5.0 to create a resolution of 72, pixel for 640x480 RGB graphics.

2, click "view → show grid" in the menu bar, and hold down the SHIFT key and create a "big" round selection with the elliptical marquee tool, and then hold down the ALT key to create a "small" circle in the middle of the circle to form a concentric ring.

3, fill in the selection of tender green, with the "rectangular marquee" tool to remove half of the ring, with the "Polygon lasso tool" along the center of the concentric ring to cut the half ring symmetry to slice shape (figure 1).

Making sector folds

1, build a new layer.

2, the foreground color set to black, in the "background copy" layer with the "line" tool from the center, using the "Medium-division method", the slice average divided into 8.

3, select the "background" layer, with "Magic wand" tool selected tender green fan, and then select "Background copy" layer, select "Select → reverse", press the DEL key to the sector outside the line all deleted.

4, set the foreground color gray, background color set to white, with the "magic wand" tool to select a "lattice", with the "linear gradient" tool for gradient coloring, pay attention to the adjacent "lattice" color patchwork, highlighting the fold effect (Figure 2). When all the lattice is finished coloring, a very strong three-dimensional "fan" appears in front of you.

Get Sector area

1, select the "background" layer, with the "Magic wand" tool selected slices, click on the menu bar "edit/Copy", the slice area copy down.

2, click "file → open ..." in the menu bar, then open a beautiful picture of mm (what, you do not?) It looks like you have to do it again. Press "CTRL + V" To paste the sector area into a beautiful photo to form a new layer for layer 1.

3, to move the sector area to your most satisfactory location, with the "Magic wand" tool selected sector, the "Layer 1" delete, so that the fan selection of the area of MM will be printed on the fan (Figure 3).

4, click on the menu bar "edit/Copy", activate the sector, press the "CTRL + V" button, the fan area of the image paste to the slice. Use the Move tool to drag the image to the appropriate location.

Adjust layer effects

1. Now the "opacity" in the layers panel is 100%, try dragging the Opacity slider, what do you see when the number becomes hours? Oh, your favorite mm portrait of the "printed" in the sector!

2, slowly drag the slider, until the overall effect of the layer synthesis to make you satisfied with the final effect see the picture.

Two points of experience:

1, the production sector folds, such as the sector can be divided into 16, the three-dimensional effect will be better, in addition, to maximize the use of grid aids to make every "lattice" size equal.

2, adjust the layer effect, "opacity" the higher the percentage, the clearer the image, but the fan effect is not good enough; the "opacity" percentage is lower, the fan effect is better, but the image is not clear enough, really "fish and bear paws can not have both", the synthesis should pay attention to the reasonable collocation.

Fan making good, hurriedly give you the right mm a surprise! Do not forget me when it is done!
