To the users of Photoshop software to detailed analysis to share the production of shadow effects of the later tutorial.
First, material preparation
Below is the material that I provide, you can also unfold your imagination to look for the material link: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1jGgPeJG Password: he4q
Usually, to do ghosting effect, most of the scenery and the characters overlap effect as the principle, you can play at will, the scenery is not necessarily natural scenery, can also be architectural drawings or other abstract images, and the characters are not necessarily facial close-up, can also be a dancing figure and so on. In short, it all depends on what your design is expecting. You can even abandon the use of characters and switch to a still life, such as a water cup. This free association is a poetic part of the way, and it must be restrained when necessary.
I use these two pictures here, first of all, the silhouette of the character, the feeling of closing my eyes as in a dream. And the model's hair is also part of what is worth playing. Landscape Map I chose the maple tree pattern, I value is the maple leaf of the red dots, branches and leaves of the part can also just apply to the hair.
Ii. Separation of backgrounds
Next let's use PS to open the image of the character and separate the characters from the background. For hair-pull method, relatively fast, still choose the principle of the channel to do.
First, let's use the pen tool to select a clear outline. The part of the hair can roughly outline a shape. Separate this contour.
At this time, for the image has been separated, is to use the channel to deal with hair problems. Into the channel panel, in three channels to observe which channel black and white most trenchant, as I observed here, the green channel is the most distinct, click the Green Channel Right button, copy the channel. After selecting the Copy channel, use the color order, move the slider, let the black more black, white more white. The goal is to pull the black-and-white contrast and pull out the black and white selections. So, when the levels are adjusted, we hold down CTRL and click the channel thumbnail, and the selection appears in the screen.
Then go back to the layers panel to keep the selection unchanged. If you find that the selection is an area outside the model, use the shift+ctrl+i reverse command to select the model again. Click the Mask icon directly below the layers panel to add a mask to the layer.
Use a large, soft white brush to smear the mask of the model on the mask to show it again.
Third, overlapping images
Let's add a background #fbedd9 to the character below. The selection of this hue makes the picture warmer.
Drag the landscape map, place the landscape above the character, and change the blending mode to "color filter". The location of the landscape map is entirely on the spot of the designer, which overlaps the most interesting parts and creates a dream feeling if the shadow is present.
To add a mask to the landscape layer, smear the part beyond the character with a black brush on the mask, and you can choose to overflow some of the interesting places according to your expectations. To make the maple leaf more prominent, I lowered the transparency of the character layer to 90%.
Four, with color to create a sense of dream
In fact, a sense of dream should be a different concept, but overall, it is a feeling beyond the reality. In this tutorial, I want to interpret the dream is to use a lot of faint shade to create a fantasy atmosphere.
Create a new layer at the top and use a large, soft brush to draw a blue dot. Change the layer blending mode to overlay, and the transparency is reduced to 70%.
According to this method, the color changes are used to create the atmosphere above the picture. Each dot can create a new layer. Layer blending mode, transparency, brush size can be freely debugged, choose the most suitable effect.
To make the subject object more prominent, create a new layer above the background layer and apply a large, soft white brush in the center to a circle. Or, in order to make the film warmer, I can also add a photo warming filter. The details of cosmetic beautification are essential, but don't overdo it. My final effect is as follows:
ghosting effects whether it is as an advertising graphic production material, or poster production, there is a huge space for play. You can increase the elements you need on this basis, and expand your imagination to create ever-changing effects.
Okay, the above information is small make up to you photoshop this software users of the detailed production of the shadow Effect of the later tutorial analysis of the full content of the post, you see the users here, small series believe that you are now very clear to make a tutorial, Now, everyone, go to the tutorial and make it yourself.
