Photoshop Create movie quality DVD cover

Learn how to put a different image and some text together to make it a professional-looking movie poster/DVD cover design. This tutorial contains some very good photo editing techniques and methods that allow you to better edit typesetting characters and layer styles.

Let's take a look at the final effect:

1th Step:

Open the following diagram (Ctrl+o) in Photoshop.

2nd Step:

Open the picture of the explosion footage and drag and drop it into the background layer, zooming the footage (ctrl+t) to the size shown below and moving to the appropriate location.

3rd Step:

The mixed mode of the explosion diagram is superimposed, as shown in the following figure:

4th Step:

Obviously, we don't want so many heads to appear, it's weird, we want the sky to mix with the water. So first select the explosion layer, at the bottom of the Layers panel, click the "Add Layer Mask" button, and then select the Brush tool, and then set the brush's opacity (here to see personal habits and technical level, casual), select the appropriate size and feather effect of the brush. Note that you must make sure that the foreground color is black, and click to select the layer mask, so we start smearing the images so that the two pictures blend together until you get a picture like the one below. (If smear error, you can change the foreground color to white and then modify back, so easy~)

5th step:

Drag the picture of the airplane footage into the document and scale and move the position as shown in the following figure.

6th step:

When you change the blending mode of the plane layer to multiply, you get the image below.

7th step:

Creates a new layer (CTRL+SHIFT+N), sets the foreground color to black, then select the Gradient tool (G), click the gradient editor in the top gradient toolbar, and select the second style in the preset column, which should be "foreground to transparent gradient", and the color is from transparent to opaque black, If not, you can only make a custom gradient yourself. Then hold down the SHIFT key and hold down the left mouse button and drag from the bottom of the document to the middle of the document, and you should get a picture like the one below.
