1 Adobe Photoshop CS5 – Illustrated Unit G: Creating Special Effects

2 Objectives Use the Color blending mode Use the Multiply blending mode
Add noise with the Overlay blending mode Sharpen with the High Pass filter Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

3 Objectives Apply the Lens Flare filter with Screen mode
Apply the Motion Blur filter Apply non-destructive filters Distort images Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

4 Creating Special Effects
Photoshop learning and practicing Performed by doing one thing at a time Working in Photoshop Performed on a full-scale project Learning to look at the “big” picture Shift from one thing to an entire project Creative artistic sense and decisions Necessary along the Photoshop tools Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

5 Using the Color Blending Mode
Blending modes Mathematical algorithms Define how pixels affect pixels beneath them Create special effects Applied throughout many Photoshop features Prominent on the Layers panel Prominent in options with specific tools Brush tool Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

6 Using the Color Blending Mode
Base color Color of the original pixel Blend color Color being applied Result color Color produced by blending base and blend colors Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

7 Using the Color Blending Mode
Useful for colorizing monochromatic images Applies blend pixel hue to the base pixel Automatically affects base pixel saturation Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

8 Using the Color Blending Mode
No affect on base pixels brightness value Affects hue and saturation Adjustments panel Hue/Saturation colorize option Necessary to colorize a black-and-white image Sliders have no affect on a pixel with saturation value of “0” Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

9 Using the Color Blending Mode
Solid color blended over the image Painting in a layer set to Color mode Colorized image Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

10 CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES True/False. The blend color is the color of the original pixel. (Answer: False) True/False. The result color is the color produced by combining the first two colors using the blending mode. (Answer: True) Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

11 Using the Multiply Blending Mode
Multiply mode Most common blending mode Makes blend pixels transparent Base art seen through that color Used when creating shadows and drop shadows Shadows in nature: always transparent Two important characteristics Multiplying black: always black Multiplying white: becomes invisible Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

12 Using the Multiply Blending Mode
Layers panel blending modes Grouped in six sections Intentional and specific Blending modes grouped on similarities Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

13 Using the Multiply Blending Mode
Color Burn and Linear Burn Two effective blending modes Similar to the Multiple blending mode Produce subtly different effects Color Burn increases contrast Linear Burn Creates multiply effect by decreasing brightness Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

14 Using the Multiply Blending Mode
Understanding the Multiply blending mode Multiplying a solid color Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

15 CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES When you multiply black, what is the result?
(Answer: It is always black.) When you multiply white, what is the result? (Answer: White always becomes invisible.) Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

16 Adding Noise with the Overlay Blending Mode
Blanket of high-contrast pixels Produces grainy effect over an image Visible noise: termed “grain” Low-quality images online Images downloaded to a cell phone Adding noise to “finish” a design Adds heightened sense of sharpness and focus Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

17 Adding Noise with the Overlay Blending Mode
Especially effective with multiple images used in a montage Challenge in a montage Making it appear to be one piece of artwork Layer of noise Adds a consistent layer across the artwork making it appear as one image Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

18 Adding Noise with the Overlay Blending Mode
Methods to add noise Create from existing pixels Add to an image using the overlay technique Not editable Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

19 Adding Noise with the Overlay Blending Mode
Understanding the Overlay blending mode Viewing results of the Noise filter Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

20 CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES What is noise?
(Answer: Noise is a term used to describe a blanket of high-contrast pixels that produce a grainy effect over an image.) Is Noise a good thing? Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

21 Sharpening with the High Pass Filter
Sharpness: corresponds to edges Edges: image areas where highly contrasting pixels meet High Pass filter Effective at finding and isolating edges Uses mathematical algorithm Identifies where pixels of high contrast abut Fills layer with solid gray Except in the edge areas to isolate the edges Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

22 Sharpening with the High Pass Filter
Edges Mostly involved in image blurring and sharpening Blurring an edge Reduces contrast where edge pixels meet Sharpening an edge Increases contrast Provide heightened image focus Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

23 Sharpening with the High Pass Filter
Overlay/High Pass technique Overlays an image on top of itself Only at the edges Filter fills the layer with 50% gray Transparent when overlayed Edge areas: those not filled with gray Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

24 Sharpening with the High Pass Filter
Applying the High Pass filter Viewing the sharpened image Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

25 CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES True/False. Edges are any areas in an image where highly contrasting pixels meet. (Answer: True) What does the High Pass filter do? (Answer: High Pass is a filter that is very effective at finding and isolating edges. It finds edges using a mathematical algorithm to identify where in the image pixels of high contrast abut. It then fills the layer with solid gray everywhere except in the edge areas.) Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

26 Applying the Lens Flare Filter with Screen Mode
Bright spot often captured in the glass of a camera lens Lens Flare filter Useful for adding glints or bight spots Must be applied to existing pixels Can not be created in an empty layer Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

27 Applying the Lens Flare Filter with Screen Mode
Making lens flare a part of the artwork Fill a layer with black and apply Lens Flare filter Use Screen blending mode to make black areas transparent, leaving just the flare Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

28 Applying the Lens Flare Filter with Screen Mode
Positioning the screened lens flare Scaling down the size of the flare The final effect Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

29 CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES True/False. The Screen blending mode functions as the exact opposite of the Multiply blending mode. (Answer: True) Discuss the difference between Screen blending mode and Multiply blending mode. Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

30 Applying the Motion Blur Filter
Motion Blur filter dialog box Used for blurring pixels Allows specification of a distance and an angle Results in a blur used to create the appearance of motion For both artwork and text Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

31 Applying the Motion Blur Filter
Viewing one motion blur applied Viewing two motion blurs applied Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

32 CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES True/False. Photoshop offers only one blur filter. (Answer: False) Discuss the differences between Figures G-14 and G-15. Which figure conveys motion the best? Why? Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

33 Applying Non-Destructive Filters
Non-destructive adjustments Not applied directly to the artwork Adjustment exists on a separate layer Can be shown, hidden, edited, deleted Original artwork not altered Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

34 Applying Non-Destructive Filters
Creating non-destructive filter layers Allows creation of filters on a layer Can be shown, hidden, edited, and deleted Called “smart filters” Comes with a layer mask Can be altered using an opacity adjustment or a blending mode Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

35 Applying Non-Destructive Filters
Created with a mask: filter mask Functions like a layer mask Applying multiple filters One mask remains available hiding or showing all of the applied filters Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

36 Applying Non-Destructive Filters
Smart filters can be removed from layered artwork at any time Temporarily Hide the filter Permanently Drag it to the Delete layer button on the Layers panel Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

37 Applying Non-Destructive Filters
The Grain filter as a layer on the Layers panel Viewing the filter applied with 80% opacity Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

38 CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES What is non-destructive editing?
(Answer: The adjustment is not applied directly to the artwork. Instead, the adjustment exists on a separate layer that can be shown, hidden, edited, or even deleted.) True/False. Smart filters can be removed from layered artwork at any time. (Answer: True) Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

39 Distorting Images Distorted images used in artistic and practical effects Creating a sense of three-dimensional artwork Distort command Another transformation type Like scaling or rotating Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

40 Distorting Images Skew, Perspective (Warp) commands Skew Perspective
Provide additional transformation Skew Transforms art as though positioned on an angle Perspective Transforms art with a forced perspective Toward an unspecified vanishing point Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

41 Distorting Images Distorting the artwork by moving the handles
Viewing the final distorted artwork Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

42 CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES True/False. The Distort feature allows you to move the four handles of the bounding box independently of one another. (Answer: True) Refer to Figures G-18 and G-19. Discuss what has been distorted in the artwork. Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

43 Summary Learning to look at the “big” picture
Shift to looking at an entire project Artistic sense and decisions for creating effects required with tools tools Blending modes Applied with many Photoshop features Prominent on the Layers panel Prominent options with specific tools Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated

44 Summary Noise: especially effective when applied with multiple images
Color Burn and Linear Burn: two effective blending modes Non-destructive filters Created with a filter mask Functions like a layer mask Images distortion provides artistic and practical effects: sense of 3-D Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Illustrated
