 Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 5:13 pm Post subject: Float editing |
 |
|
Okay, so i have been trying to get myself to float with the help of photoshop. At the moment im trying to use presets from Adobe lightroom, but whenever i add any of those i have downloaded (like 20-30 different) the sides of the picture gets all darkend out. I'm not too familiar with photoshop and would like any ideas of how to edit my picture and how you did it would be helpful too.
PS: I was thinking a similar effect to this: http://lookbook.nu/look/2154361-Go-D-R-E-A-M might work quiet well.
Here is the picture i where i already edited the stool out: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/809/floati.jpg/
Thanks in advanced! |

It's a little difficult to know how to answer the question. For example, I know nothing about Lightroom presets in photoshop. Questions about effects are actually very big questions, since there are often several things happening. And questions about ideas are even harder - it's very subjective (and I for one wish I had more ideas!)
Tyler, you've already done a great job in editing out the stool. What's the next step you'd like to do to the photo? |

hi,
well here my thoughts..
as far as light room don't know anything about that program, i can talk about photoshop...
nowi am assuming your referring to the lighting in your example that little yelloworange glow that appears from the sun. and the bluring
once you have background then just duplicate the layer and appy a guarassian blur .. that will make everythingblury....
on that dupe ..... apply a mask-- and the take your gradiant too and choose black to white and apply the gradient to the mask ..... if it look backward then redoand go in the other direction
at this point.. you should notice that bottom part of your dup is not blur but the rest is... very similar to yourexample you like....
now you can place your floater on the next top layer.... this personal decision youmay want to apply just a little guassian blur him but just a little ... personall preferences..
almost forgot.... the sun... new layer and place a blurry edge of a sun on it..
now apply another blank on top and fill with your yellow orange....
and apply a mask to that filllayer...and again pick your gradien tool and i would think select the radial gradient... and apply...... and the you can adjust theopacity of the layer...
that is just one way todo it... there many other and probabl ybetter but this workflow i think is the easist...
ihope that get you in the right direction ... |
