The Text on the Wet Sweaty Window

This tutorial explains how to use a couple of images, a blur filter, and a simple brush to create a realistic text-on-wet-window effect.

The Text on the Wet Sweaty Window

Step 1

Open the “Rain Widescreen HD Wallpaper” image in Photoshop, then go to Image -> Adjustments -> Hue/Saturation. Change the Hue to 10 and the Saturation to 35.

Then go to Image -> Image Size, make sure that the “Constrain Proportions” box at the bottom is checked, and type 600 in the Width field at the top. You can type in any other value you like depending on the size you want and the text you’re going to create. Click OK.

Step 2

Place the “Hummer H2 Night City Car Wallpaper” image on top of the “Rain Widescreen HD Wallpaper” image. Then go to Edit -> Free Transform to resize the image. Press and hold the Shift key to constrain proportions, then click and drag the corners inward.

Step 3

Change the “Hummer H2 Night City Car Wallpaper” image layer’s Blend Mode to Overlay, and its Opacity to 80%.

Go to Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur, and set the Radius to 5.5.

Step 4

Create a new layer on top of both layers and call it “Text”. Set the Foreground color to Black, pick the Brush Tool, and choose the “Rough Round Bristle” Photoshop default brush tip. Change the brush’s size to a value of your choice depending on how thick or thin you want your text to be. Here, it is set to 30 px.

Open the Brush panel (Window -> Brush), and un-check the Transfer box.

Step 5

Create the text you like using the brush you picked. Take your time with this step, and remember that you can Undo and re-create the text as many times as needed.

Once you’re done, decrease the brush size to a small value (around 8 px), then add some little dripping lines below the letters. You might want to thicken the lines’ tops a little bit for a more realistic effect.

Step 6

To emphasize the text a bit more, create a new layer on top of all layers, fill it with White, then change its Blend Mode to Soft Light and lower its Opacity to a value of your choice (something around 55%).

Finally, select the “Text” layer and lower its Opacity accordingly. Here, it is changed to 85%.

And that’s it!

Use x-ray techniques in Photoshop to show naked skin through clothing

    Do those new naked body scanners have you freaked out at the airports? As far as the TSA is concerned, those x-ray machines are here to stay, but you might as well take comfort in knowing that airport security guards aren't the only ones looking at your private parts. Practically anyone with a computer can manage to see through your clothes, and it's all thanks to a little program called Photoshop. Thanks, Adobe. With a few tweaks using the tools in Photoshop, you can see those boobs in no time, male or female. The video is in German, but it's not hard to figure our what's going on, especially if you're familiar with Photoshop. First, create a few duplicate layers, then get a handle on some of these tools to make the naked body through the clothes: * Auswahl erstellen (Create Selection) * Tonwertspreizung (Input Levels) * Belichtung (Exposure) You can also do this see-through clothing effect in free design programs, such as  GIMP .
