convert photo into realistic fog effect using photoshop

Photoshop tutorial, how to convert photo into realistic fog effect using photoshop. we given step by step guide and screenshots of every step.

convert photo into realistic fog effect using photoshop

To create a fog effect I will be using the basic brush, gaussian blur and a layer mask with a gradient in it. First of we need a good picture where fog will look naturall, I have chosen a picture with water in it since it is the most common place for fog.

Step 1: Open an image you want to add fog in Photoshop.

convert photo into realistic fog effect using photoshop

Step 2: Create a New Layer by pressing Shift+Ctrl+N.

Select the Brush Tool and set the Diameter to 150px, Hardness to 0%, Mode to Dissolve, Opacity to 15% and Flow to 30%. Set the Foreground Colour to a light grey color, I used #d6d6d6.

Step 3: Use the brush to draw horizontal lines over the image. This will create even and not very realistic fog so we need to make it thicker in some places. Set the Opacity of the brush to something like 70% and make areas with more grey. Your image should now look something like the one bellow.

Step 4: Now go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and set the Radius to 14px or something similar that you think looks good. Your image should now look like the image bellow. The next step is optional but will make the fog look more realistic.

Now your image looking like this:

Step 5: We are now going to use a layer mask to make the fog behave more realistic. Start by pressing the Add Layer Mask button at the bottom of the Layers Window. Click the Layer Mask Preview which now is visible next to the Layer Preview to make sure it’s selected. Use the Gradient tool to make a gradient going from white to black starting at the top of the layer and going straight down. Now your fog should look in the image bellow where you can compare before and after picture.

The result compared ot the original photo:

Here’s my final result:

how to make glow effect on text in photoshop

Photoshop tutorial, how to make glow effect on text in photoshop. we given step by step guide with their screen shots and full descriptions.  Learn how to give your text a  glowing effect by combining various layer styles, overlays and cool lighting effects.

how to make glow effect on text in photoshop

Step 1: Create a new document (600X300px).

Create a new layer called ‘background’ and fill your canvas with a gradient ranging from dark gray to black.

how to make glow effect on text in photoshop
how to make glow effect on text in photoshop

Step 2: Now Go to Filter>Texture>Craquelure.

Apply these setting which I given below:

Step 3: Now create a new layer called ‘radial gradient’. Fill your canvas with a radial gradient (Black-white) from the center of your canvas to the edge.

Then reduce this layer’s opacity to 50% & set Blending mode to “Overlay”.

Step 4: Create some centered text. I wrote wordpressApi (Comic Sans MS, Bold, 72pt, black).

Then apply the layer styles shown below: inner glow, bevel emboss and gradient overlay:

Now your image looking like this:

Step 5: Now duplicate your text layer, moving the duplicate below the original. Go to layer>rasterize>type and rename the layer to ‘green type’.

Set your foreground color to 61da0c and then press Ctrl+ left click on your ‘green type’ layer’s thumbnail to select only the data on this layer. Then go to edit>fill>foreground color and press OK.

Then deselect and use your keyboard cursor to shift your green text 5 px to the right.

Step 6: Duplicate your green type layer twice (so you have a total of 3 green type layers).

Then select your bottom most one and apply a 20px gaussian blur (the image below has the 2 green type layers above this one hidden):

Step 7: Reduce the opacity of your 20px gaussian blurred layer to 80%. Then use a large, soft eraser brush (100% opacity) to brush away the parts of the glow that are on the left sides of your text. You want to give the impression that the glow is coming only from the right of the letters:

Step 8: Repeat the last 2 steps on your next ‘green type’ layer, this time giving it a gaussian blur of 10px. Remember to erase away relevant parts of your glow:

Step 9: Now for your final top ‘green type’ layer apply a 2 px gaussian blur. There is no need to erase any of this layer…

Step 10: Set your foreground color to #ccffcc. Create a new layer called ‘glow circles’ . Then select the soft rounded Brush, and create some circles around the text.

Step 11: Now make some blur glow circles layer. Go to filter>blur>Gaussian blur & apply 8 px gaussian blur.

Step 12: Now Go to Layer>Layer Stile>Blending Options & apply Outer Glow to glow circles layer.

Here’s my settings:

Here’s my final result:

Thank You!

photoshop tutorial create polaroid effect using photoshop

We written photoshop tutorial, create polaroid effect using photoshop. Here we given every step with screen shot and brief explanation of step for photoshop.

photoshop tutorial create polaroid effect using photoshop

Here’s the image that I’ll be working with in this Photoshop tutorial:

And here’s what the image will look like when we’re done:

photoshop tutorial create polaroid effect using photoshop
photoshop tutorial create polaroid effect using photoshop

Step 1: Duplicate The Background Layer

The first thing we need to do for this effect is duplicate our Background layer. With our image open in Photoshop, we can see in the Layers palette that we currently have just one layer, the Background layer, which contains our original image:

To quickly duplicate the layer, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+J (Win) / Command+J (Mac). Photoshop creates a copy of the Background layer for us, names it “Layer 1”, and places it above our Background layer in the Layers palette:

Step 2: Add A New Blank Layer Between The Two Layers

Next, we need to add a new blank layer between our Background layer and the copy of it that we just created. Currently the copy is selected in the Layers palette (we can tell the layer is selected because it’s highlighted in blue). Normally when we add a new layer, Photoshop places the new layer above the layer that’s currently selected, but we want our new layer below “Layer 1”, not above it. To tell Photoshop to place the new layer below “Layer 1”, hold down your Ctrl (Win) / Command (Mac) key and then click on the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette:

Photoshop adds a new blank layer named “Layer 2” between “Layer 1” and the original Background layer:

Step 3: Fill The New Layer With Black

We’re going to use black as the background for our effect, so let’s reset our Foreground and Background colors if needed by pressing D on your keyboard. This sets black as your Foreground color and white as your Background color, as we can see in the Foreground and Background color swatches near the bottom of the Tools palette:

Now with black as our Foreground color and the new blank layer selected in the Layers palette, let’s fill the new layer with black using the keyboard shortcut Alt+Backspace (Win) / Option+Delete (Mac). Nothing will appear to have happened to the image itself, and that’s because “Layer 1”, which contains a copy of our original image, is blocking “Layer 2” from view. But if we look at Layer 2’s thumbnail in the Layers palette, we can see that we’ve filled the layer with black:

Step 4: Add A New Blank Layer

With “Layer 2” (the layer we just filled with black) selected, click once again on the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette:

Photoshop will add a new blank layer between the black-filled layer and the copy of the original image above it:

Step 5: Drag Out A Rectangular Selection As The Inside Of Your First Polaroid

Select the Rectangular Marquee Tool either from the Tools palette or by pressing M on your keyboard:

Then, with the Rectangular Marquee Tool selected, drag out a selection inside your image which will become the inside of the first polaroid (the part which contains the photo). I’m going to drag my selection around the baby’s face. It doesn’t really matter where you make this selection since you’ll be able to move it anywhere you like later:Then, with the Rectangular Marquee Tool selected, drag out a selection inside your image which will become the inside of the first polaroid (the part which contains the photo). I’m going to drag my selection around the baby. It doesn’t really matter where you make this selection since you’ll be able to move it anywhere you like later:

Step 6: Fill The Selection With Black

We need to fill the selection with black at this point. Technically, it doesn’t matter which color we fill the selection with, but to keep things simple and since black is currently our Foreground color, let’s use black. Make sure you have the new blank layer selected in the Layers palette, and then use the keyboard shortcut Alt+Backspace (Win) / Option+Delete (Mac) to fill the selection with the Foreground color, which is set to black. Again, nothing seems to have happened in the document, and that’s because the image on “Layer 1” at the top is still blocking everything else from view, but if we look at the thumbnail for the blank layer in the Layers palette, we can see that the selected area has indeed been filled with black:

Step 7: Create A Clipping Mask From The Filled Selection

We’re going to use the selection we just filled with black to create what’s called a clipping mask for the layer above it. What this means is that the layer above it, “Layer 1” which contains the copy of our image, is going to be “clipped” by our filled selection on the layer below it. In other words, the only part of the image on “Layer 1” that will remain visible is the part directly above the section filled with black. The rest of the image will become hidden from view. To create our clipping mask, click on “Layer 1” to select it in the Layers palette. Then go up to the Layer menu at the top of the screen and select Create Clipping Mask. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Alt+Ctrl+G (Win) / Option+Command+G (Mac). Either way, Photoshop “clips” the image on “Layer 1”, keeping only the area above the black-filled shape below it visible and hiding the rest of the image, revealing our black background on “Layer 2” in its place:

f we look in the Layers palette now, we can see that “Layer 1” is indented to the right with a small arrow pointing downward on the left. This indicates that the layer is being clipped by the layer below it:

 

Step 8: Add Another New Blank Layer Above “Layer 2”

We need to add another new layer, and we need it between the black-filled layer (“Layer 2”) and the layer containing our filled selection (“Layer 3”). To do that, click on “Layer 2” to select it and then click once again on the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette:

Photoshop adds the new layer between “Layer 2” and “Layer 3” and names it, surprisingly enough, “Layer 4”:

Step 9: Drag Out Another Rectangular Selection As The Border Of The Polaroid

With your Rectangular Marquee Tool still selected, drag out another rectangular selection, this time around the outside of the original selection, which will become the white border of the polaroid. Keep in mind that polaroid photos have some extra space at the bottom of the border, so add some extra space at the bottom of your selection:

Step 10: Fill The Selection With White

Since the border of a polaroid is usually white, let’s fill our selection with white. Make sure that you have the new blank layer, “Layer 4”, selected in the Layers palette. Then, since white is currently our Background color, let’s use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Backspace (Win) / Command+Delete (Mac) to fill the selection with the Background color (white). Press Ctrl+D (Win) / Command+D (Mac) when you’re done to deselect the selection. We now have our first polaroid in our image:

Step 11: Add A Drop Shadow Layer Style

We have our first polaroid, and we’re going to use it to easily create as many polaroids as we want. But before we do anything else, let’s add a slight drop shadow to it. We won’t be able to see the drop shadow just yet, since we’re using a black background, but we will see it once we start piling polaroids on top of each other. To add our drop shadow, with “Layer 4” selected, click on the Layer Styles icon at the bottom of the Layers palette:

Select Drop Shadow from the list of layer styles:

This brings up Photoshop’s “Layer Style” dialog box set to the Drop Shadow options in the middle column. I’m going to set my shadow Angle to about 140° and then lower the Opacity value at the top all the way down to about 50% so my shadow isn’t too intense:

Click OK to exit out of the Layer Style dialog box. As I said, we won’t be able to see the drop shadow just yet thanks to our black background, but don’t worry. We’ll see it soon enough.

Step 12: Rotate The Polaroid

I’m going to rotate my polaroid to add a bit more interest to it. In order to do that, I need to select both layers in my Layers palette which make up my polaroid. I already have “Layer 4” selected, which makes up the outside of it, but I also need “Layer 3” selected, which makes up the inside, so with “Layer 4” selected, I’m going to hold down my Shift key and click on “Layer 3”, which will select both layers at once (they’ll both appear highlighted in blue):

Then with both layers selected, I’m going to bring up Photoshop’s Free Transform handles around my polaroid using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+T (Win) / Command+T (Mac). To rotate it, all I need to do is drag my mouse cursor anywhere outside of the Free Transform handles. The mouse cursor will change to a “rotate” cursor with curved arrows on either end of it. As I drag my mouse, the polaroid will rotate:

You can also move the polaroid to a new location if you wish by clicking inside of it and dragging it around the screen with your mouse. I’m going to leave mine where it is for now and simply rotate it. As you drag, you’ll notice that the border of the polaroid moves and rotates but the image inside of it does not, and that’s because we’re not moving the actual image. It remains fixed in place. The only thing we’re moving is the polaroid itself, and this is what’s going to allow us to create our final effect, as we’ll see.

When you’re happy with the location and angle of the polaroid , press Enter (Win) / Return (Mac) to apply the transformation.

Step 13: Group All Three Layers Which Make Up The Polaroid

We have our first polaroid created and rotated into place. Now we’re going to use it to create as many polaroids as we want. Before we can do that though, we need to group all three layers which make up the polaroid , which are the top three layers in the Layers palette. “Layer 1” contains the image itself, “Layer 3” contains the inside of the polaroid , and “Layer 4” contains the outside of it. In order to group them, we need them all selected. We already have “Layer 3” and “Layer 4” selected, so once again hold down your Shift key and click on “Layer 1” to add it, so all three layers are selected and highlighted in blue:

Then, with all three layer selected, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+G (Win) / Command+G (Mac) to group them. You’ll see all three layers disappear from the Layers palette and be replaced by a layer named “Group 1”, which contains a folder icon to indicate that it’s a Layer Group. If you click on the right-pointing triangle to the left of the folder icon, the group will open and you’ll see your three layers inside of it:

Step 14: Duplicate The Layer Group

We’re going to use this Layer Group to create our second polaroid , and we’re going to do that by duplicating the group. First, click once again on the triangle to the left of the folder in the Layers palette to close the group so your Layers palette doesn’t get too cluttered. Then simply click on the group and drag it down onto the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette:

photoshop tutorial create polaroid effect using photoshop
photoshop tutorial create polaroid effect using photoshop

When you release your mouse button, you’ll see the copy of the Layer Group appear above the original:

We now have our second polaroid.

Step 15: Move And Rotate The Second Polaroid With The Free Transform Command

Just as we did with the original, we’re going to move and rotate this second polaroid using Free Transform (I didn’t actually move my first one, but you may have, so let’s pretend I did as well). First, twirl open the newly created copy of our Layer Group by clicking on the triangle to the left of its folder icon. Just as before, you’ll see all three layers inside of it which make up the polaroid . We need to select the bottom two layers which make up the inside and outside of it, so click on one, then hold down Shift and click on the other to select them both:

photoshop tutorial create polaroid effect using photoshop
photoshop tutorial create polaroid effect using photoshop

Then with both layers selected, press Ctrl+T (Win) / Command+T (Mac) to bring up the Free Transform handles around the polaroid . At the moment, it looks like there’s only the one polaroid in the image, and that’s because both of them are directly on top of each other. Click inside the polaroid and drag it to move it to a new location, and you’ll see that you do in fact have two. Drag this second one to wherever you like in your document, and then rotate it just as before, by moving your mouse anywhere outside of the Free Transform handles and dragging your mouse to rotate it left or right. You’ll see that once again, we’re only moving the polaroid itself. The image inside of it remains fixed in place, and now that we’ve added a second polaroid , we’re displaying more of the full size image:

You’ll also notice that with the second polaroid overlapping the original, we can now see the drop shadow, which gives the image a bit of depth. When you’re happy with the location and angle of your second polaroid , press Enter (Win) / Return (Mac) to apply the transformation. We now have two polaroids completed:

Step 16: Add, Move And Rotate More Polaroids As Needed

At this point, we just repeat the exact same process over and over until we’ve added enough polaroids to reveal enough of the original image. First, drag the top-most Layer Group down onto the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette. This will create a copy of the last polaroid you made. Then twirl the new Layer Group open by clicking on the arrow to the left of its folder icon and select the two bottom layers which make up the inside and outside of the polaroid. Press Ctrl+T (Win) / Command+T (Mac) to bring up the Free Transform handles, click inside them and drag the image into a new location to reveal more of the overall image, then move your mouse outside of the handles and drag to rotate the new polaroid. Press Enter (Win) / Return (Mac) to accept the transformation, then repeat the process again until you’ve added enough polaroids that you’re happy with the results. There’s no “right or wrong” placement of the polaroids , so don’t be afraid to play around with it, and you can always go back and move or rotate any of the polaroids at any time by selecting its Layer Group, twirling it open, selecting the two bottom layers, then using Free Transform to move and/or rotate it again.

I’m going to add, move and rotate more polaroids here with my image, and after creating about 16 polaroids, moving and rotating each with the Free Transform command, here is my final result:

add realistic fire to photo using photoshop

In Photoshop tutorial we will teach you to add realistic fire to photo using photoshop. Here we given full steps with screen shots and details instructions,

add realistic fire to photo using photoshop

Step 1: Now I’m going to show you how to add a fire to photo using Adobe Photoshop. We need couple of images,  girl’s image & 2nd image of fire. So I’m starting with these two images:

add realistic fire to photo using photoshop
add realistic fire to photo using photoshop

Step 2: Let’s start with girl image, name it FireGirl and hit OK.

With the “FireGirl” image active, duplicate the “background” layer. Set the foreground and background color to black and white by pressing D on the keyboard. Click the “background” layer again and fill it with the foreground color ~ which is set to black. See the images below.

Step 3: Reactivate “Layer 1,” then press Command + Shift + U to apply desaturate command. Now invert the color by pressing Command + I. Your image should look like a film’s negative now.

Step 4: Duplicate “Layer 1,” then apply the find edges filter from Filter > Stylized > Find Edges. Next, invert the color by pressing Ctrl + I and change the Blending Mode to Hard light. There, your image now has contrast white line and a very dark background.

Step 5: To give the white line more contrast, duplicate the “Layer 1” copy then change the Blending Mode to Screen.

Step 6: Now we move to the second image. Drag image “Fire” into “FireGirl” document image window using the Move tool.

Step 7: The fire image from “Fire” should be in “Layer 2” now. Change its Blending Mode to screen, this will hide all the black colors in “Layer 2.” If done right, your image should be similar to the one below.

Step 8: Duplicate “Layer 2” by pressing Ctrl + J. Make sure you use the Screen Blending mode, same as the original “Layer 2.” Next, make “Layer 2” become invisible by hiding it from the layers panel.

Step 9: Click the “Layer 2 copy” to make it active, then use the Free Transform command ( Edit > Free Transform) to rotate and resize the fire image like shown below. Don’t forget to press Enter when you’re done transforming.

Step 10: Still in the same layer, now use the warp command (Edit > Transform > Warp) to bend the fire image – so it following the hair flow. Press Enter when done. See the example below as a reference.

Step 11: If you feel the result is not quite good enough, simply use the Liquify filter to fix it. I assume you already know how to use the liquify filter; the Forward Warp tool and Twirl Clockwise tool is the only tool I used to get this result (see image below).

Step 12: Duplicate the “Layer 2” copy, then use the Free Transform command to resize and rotate the fire image in the current layer. Don’t forget to reposition the fire image too. Once you get this composition (see image below), hit Enter.

Step 13: Repeat the previous process to get the hair covered with fire. Just duplicate and modify the layer until you get all the hair part covered. If needed, use the Liquify Filter again. The end result of this process should look like the image below, notice how many layers are used.

Step 14: Okay, now activate “Layer 2” and make it visible again. Then Change the Blending Mode to Vivid Light. This step will colorize only the white line in the layer below it.

Step 15: Still in “Layer 2,” apply the Free Transform command to resize and rotate the fire image like shown below. The purpose is to cover up the girl’s body and hair with the fire texture. Press Enter when you’re done transforming.

Step 16: We’re gonna blur the fire image in “Layer 2,” To do so, apply the Gaussian Blur filter from the Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur menu. Fill the Radius around 10 to 15 pixels, then click OK when done. Blurring the fire image will cause its texture to blend smoother with the layer below it.

Step 17: Now add a layer mask to “Layer 2.” Then use a soft round Brush tool with Opacity at 100%. Set the brush size according to your need, then just mask until the fire outside becoming hidden. See the process below.

Step 18:

Now go to the top most layer (mine is: “Layer 2 copy 5”), add two adjustment layers which is Hue/Saturation and Brightness/Contrast. Careful not to change the layer adjustment order, or the color effect will be wrong. Below you can see the setting I used to complete this step, also pay attention to the adjustment layer order.

By adding a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, we unify all colors. The Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer brings more color contrast and makes sure the image color’s looks like real fire.

Step 19: I’m sure you notice the fire sparks effect. I create it using the Brush tool with this simple setting. No special brush needed, but if you have one that will be useful then feel free to use it. Below you can see all the settings I used within the Brush palette, of course you can change the setting as you like. Just make sure the brush spatter enough and vary the size.

Step 20:

Now to use the modified brush, create a new blank layer below the adjustment layers ( mine is named “Layer 3”). Choose 50% gray from the swatches palette, then you can start creating the fire sparks. Remember not to be monotone, resize the brush size if needed. I start using a big sized brush, then reduce it to smaller size (you can change brush size faster by pressing the bracket keys on the keyboard ).

If you’re not sure how to do this steps, just imagine where and how the fire sparks will flow if it was real fire. For me, imagining stuff is very helpful.

Step 21: To make it more interesting, copy the “Layer 3” by pressing Ctrl+J & set the Blending Mode to “Screen” of Layer 3 copy then reduce the Opacity to 25%.

Now my image is looking like this.

And we done it! Here’s my final image.

Hope you learned something new and had fun.

Thank You!

Step 6: Activate layer “Text” on the Layer Palette and merge all visible layers ( Layer > Merge Visible ).

Step 7: Transform the image 90 degrees clockwise ( Edit > Transform > 90 degrees CW ).

Now our image looking like this:

Step 8: Apply the Wind filter ( Filter > Stylize > Wind ) with the method “Wind” and the DirectionFrom the Right”. Repeat ( Ctrl-f ) this filter.
