We will give you a detailed analysis of the photoshop software and share with you the tutorial on creating transparent water drops by using masks and Gaussian blur.
Tutorial sharing:
First open the Photoshop software, create a X layer, and then use the oval box selection tool to box out the circle, fill in the black:
After filling, click layer 1 to open your eyes, create layer 2, press ctrl and click layer 1 to load layer 1 as the selection area, and then execute "Ctrl + Shift + I" in reverse direction to fill in the color and customize the color, fill in that color if you want the best result to show it!
Then press ctrl + d to cancel the selection, filter-Blur-Gaussian blur, 9 pixels:
Load the selection area of Layer 1 and add a mask to layer 2, as shown in the following figure:
In layer 2, click the unlink between the layer and the mask, and then click the layer to move several pixels down:
Create layer 3, load the selection area of Layer 1, fill in the same color as layer 2, and then blur 9 pixels by Gaussian, move down as shown in the figure:
In the load layer 1 area, select the inverse part, and then add a mask to layer 3 to obtain the shadow part of the water drop:
Now add the highlights to the water drop, create layer 4, load the selection area of Layer 1, fill in white, Gaussian blur 12 pixels:
Press ctrl + t to zoom out layer 4 and move it to the bottom of the water drop to form a highlighted effect:
Copy layer 4 to generate a copy of layer 4. As in the previous step, zoom out and move to the top of the water drop. The layer mode is changed to overlay!
Copy layer 4 several times, and then zoom out the copied layer by layer. The effect is as follows:
Finally, you can add a lower shape for the water drop, print all layers, copy several layers, and use the filter-twist-wave to add a shape for the water drop, as shown in the following figure:
All right, the above information is all the content that I have shared with the users of this software of photoshop in detail using masks and Gaussian blur to make transparent color water drops, you can see that the production method is very clear, so you can follow the tutorial above to create transparent water drops.
