Vintage 3D Effect in Photoshop

In this tutorial, I’m going to add to the image a bit using the free Dust Particle PS Brush Set found here at We-graphics. After all, what’s the point of creating a 3D image without something intended to “come at” the viewer. Also, I will be working with this fantastic image from Unsplash.

Step 1 – Adding Some Particles

First up, I’m going to open the image in Photoshop and install the dust particle brush set. On a new layer above the image, I’ll click and add a few dust particles using a dark (almost black) color. I’ll scale the brush down so that the particles appear pretty small.

On another layer I’ll add some lighter colored particles.

Finally, I’ll add some larger scale particles on another layer, using both the dark and light colors.

Step 2 – Create a Vintage Look

I want this image to appear colder and a bit more dramatic, plus I want it to have a bit of vintage tone to it. We’ll achieve this look with a couple of quick adjustment layers.

To mute the colors a bit, let’s add a black and white gradient map adjustment layer. Set this layer’s opacity to 30%.

Now add a Curves adjustment layer and adjust each color channel similar to what I have below.

You should now have a colder, more dramatic, look to your photo.

Step 3 Creating the 3D Effect

Now for the 3D portion. Flatten your image by clicking Layer | Flatten Image. Now copy the background image by pressing Cmd+J (or Ctrl+J on PC). Name this copied layer “Red”. Double click the layer to open the Layer Styles. Under Blending Options | Advanced Blending uncheck the R (Red) box next to Channels.

Now duplicate the layer and name it “Blue”. Double click to open up the Layer Styles again. This time make sure R is checked and G and B are unchecked.

Now select the “Red” layer and nudge it 5 pixels to the left using the arrow keys on your keyboard. Then select the “Blue” layer and nudge it 5 pixels to the right.

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 .

Photoshop Shapes – Add, Subtract, Intersect and Exclude

’ve gone ahead and created a new Photoshop document, with white as my background color, and I’ve used the Ellipse Tool to draw a single circular shape (I held down my Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key as I was dragging out the shape to force it into a perfect circle): A circular shape drawn with the Ellipse Tool. If we look in my Layers panel , we see that my document currently contains two layers – the white-filled Background layer on the bottom and the Shape layer (Shape 1) for my shape directly above it: The Layers panel showing the Shape layer sitting above the Background layer. With the Ellipse Tool still selected, I’ll draw a second similar shape partly overlapping the original: Adding a second shape to the document. By default, Photoshop assumes that each time we draw a new shape, we want to draw a separate, independent shape, and it places the new shape on its own Shape layer. If we look again in my Layers panel, we see that I now have a second Shape layer (S...
