Photoshop Tips: Cool Lessons from blizzard

Skills | tutorials

This picture is a stack of basic PS techniques,

Create a new file with a size of 1280 x 1024 background white

I. The creation of a background

The background is divided into two parts, the bottom map and the radiation

1. Bottom chart:

Name the white background layer "bottom chart"

First set spray pen, as large as possible, mode for multiply pressure pressure=3%, other settings such as figure

After that is to spray out the bottom of the picture, spray the screen to narrow some, in order to grasp the overall feeling, the first layer of attention to leave some space

The back is more casual, the final screen should be clear there is a transparent feeling.

2. Next is the production of radiation

New layer, named radiation--fill with black--with Noise/add noise add miscellaneous points (a bit larger)--go color

--Filter Blur/radia blur (two times)--finally adjust lightness and contrast

3. The next step is to merge the "bottom map" and "radiation" two layers.

Copy the bottom graph layer, call it "bottom Figure 2", flip "bottom Figure 2" to 180 degrees, and go color

Set the "radiation" Synthesis mode to "screen" and "Bottom Figure 2" merge

The merged layer is still called "radiation," followed by the "radiation" filter render/lighting effect

Parameters like Figure

You get the next picture.

Next, the resulting "radiation" layer of the pattern set to "screen" and "bottom graph" synthesis to get a picture of the effect

Now there is only a layer of "radiation", which is not far from the background we are going to get.

The next step is to create a new layer, fill it with black, and merge it with the "overly" pattern and "radiation" to get the background

(Remember to name the diagram first in the background)

two. Add scenery to the background

The added scenery can be a castle, a forest or a genie or something (you can use the material, you can draw yourself, nonsense)

The method is to use different layer synthesis mode

(I generally use screen, overly, softlight, and other suggestions you try, you might have unexpected effect?)

In addition, some filters can be used to distort the scene to enhance the expressiveness

The effect of adding a scene is this

The background on the original, but I made it myself.

three. The following is the effect of making blizzard

1. Create a new layer called "snow", the following figure to create a basic element

When this element is done, it can be deformed.

(The CTRL key is ctrl+t after the shortcut key, you can control each of the control points separately.)

Deformation of the time remember to deform one, copy one,

After adjusting, you get this effect.

3. Next, merge the linked layers (ctrl+e) and name the merged layers as snow

4. Copy the layer "snow" and name it "Snow2" to set the compositing mode to dissolve

5. In the control of the background layer state, hold down the CTRL key, left click on the layer "snow2" to get a selection

Copy/Paste commands on the background layer to get a new layer "snow2" with the same shape as the "layer" layer

6. Merge Layer "Snow2" and "new layer" and make the merged layer below the layer "snow"

Four. Now you can see the final image by joining .

Well, the final effect is unexpected, huh?
