Hello, how are you friends?
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Emilio.
Today we are going to see how I carried out the related assembly
Halloween, which I published last day the 31st.
It's very simple, you'll see that it won't take long.
I really took advantage of a photo taken in my studio
with a spotlight and a chair to which I later added
some images: a skeleton, a pumpkin and some ghosts
to give it a bit of the theme of the moment.
And well, let's get down to business.
We are already in Photoshop.
As you can see, this is the work done in which, as I told you
in the background, it is a photo taken in my studio and here
I have added the faint image that is seen in the background, the
ghosts that make the audience a dancing skeleton and, of course,
a pumpkin that cannot be missed on Halloween.
To all this I have added a
text congratulating the day.
Let's start with the work.
I have the image from which we started separated here.
As you can see, it is the image of a spotlight with a chair.
And the first thing we're
going to do is remove this chair.
As always, in order not to work on the original photo, although
in this case it really doesn't matter, I am going to create a copy
of the initial photograph by pressing 'Ctrol-J'.
Now I'm going to select the 'lasso tool', I'm going to select
'Fade' to zero and I'm going to make a chair selection.
I'm also going to leave this shadow cast by the chair within
the selection so that you can also eliminate it from the photo.
As there are some areas in between and so that
Photoshop's work is better, I am going to eliminate
some interior area of ​​the chair
legs by pressing the 'Alt' key.
As you can see, the minus sign is marked on the pointer icon and
what it is going to do now is subtract from the current selection
everything that I am now selecting.
Do you see how everything I mark is subtracted from the initial selection?
I'm going to adjust the selection a little more, I'm going to select here
always adjusting more to what the chair is, so that there are fewer areas
to fill out.
And once I have the selection made, I'm going to come to edit and I'm going to select
the 'Fill' option, which as you can see its keyboard shortcut would be 'Shift-F5'.
I'm going to select to fill it in according to the content and leave the rest as it is.
I press 'Ok' and let Photoshop work.
Press 'Ctrl-D' to remove the selection and as you can see it has done an excellent job.
Okay, since I want to leave more surface to the right of that focus,
what I'm going to do now is move it to the left, so that I leave more
free surface to then add the skeleton.
As you can see, the original image is appearing below.
To cover this entire area I am going to select the area that does
not have content and as before I am going to fill it in again.
depending on content: 'Shift-F5'.
As I said, the keyboard shortcut takes us to the same place
and we are going to let it fill according to the content.
We click 'ok' again, we let Photoshop work.
It has filled in the gap that was missing from the photo.
What I'm going to do now is bring all the elements
that I have seen that were in the composition.
I have the three elements I need open.
I position myself in the skeleton document
and I am going to select the 'selection tool'.
I click on the image of the skeleton
and drag it to our work document.
There we have it.
We already have element one.
I'm going to call this layer 'skeleton' and I'm
going to call the background layer 'Background'.
I'm going now to bring that group of ghosts that were behind the skeleton.
I position myself on the document of the ghosts,
and as before I click on the image and drag it
to our working document and there we have it.
And finally, we are not going to bring the image of the pumpkin.
As before.
I go to the document that I have open with the pumpkin,
I click on the image and I bring it to the work document.
If you look at the order of the photos, I see
that the pumpkin is hidden behind the skeleton.
In this work it doesn't matter because the skeleton is
not going to be in front, but if we want to keep order
more or less similar
to the one they have
objects in the image, the pumpkin
should be in front of the skeleton.
I'm going to select the pumpkin layer, trace
it, and put it above the skeleton layer.
I'm going to call this layer 'pumpkin'.
Well, now we have the three images here.
I'm going to hide the pumpkin image, I'm going to hide the skeleton image
and I'm going to focus now on placing the image of the ghosts.
If you look at the initial image, the ghosts were
in the background, as if hidden in the darkness.
Therefore, I need to make this image much dimmer.
What I want is for only the silhouette of the ghosts to be seen, so
the first thing I am going to do is position myself on the ghosts layer
and I'm going to put it
in 'raster' blending mode.
What the 'raster' mode does: it makes the dark
colors not visible and the light colors visible.
In this way we have seen how the dark area of ​​the
photo of the image of the ghosts is almost not visible.
You can still see it a little because that background is not really black.
We are going to add a level layer, which we want to only
affect the ghosts, so we are going to enable the clipping mask
and we are going to darken this image so that all that background is blacker and cannot be seen.
We're going to come and we're going to close
the exit so that that background becomes darker.
We are going to close the black ones too and as you can see, all that edge is disappearing.
We also darken the medium lights a little, although if I go
too low I lose a little definition, we have to be careful.
By lowering the mid tones I am going to
continue lowering the blacks a little more.
As I see that there is too much contrast in the image, I am not going to lower the
blacks any more and what I am going to do is add a layer mask to the ghost layer.
I position myself on the ghost layer and press new layer mask.
I position myself over her.
I am going to select the brush
with a round tip with 0% hardness
I am going to eliminate this border
so that it is not noticeable. There is.
Below too.
As you can see, we have removed that edge that
was visible in the original photo of the ghosts.
Since those ghosts are too present, what I'm
going to do now is lower the opacity and leave it
around 60%.
Rounding to 65%.
Now let's focus on the skeleton.
Let's enable the skeleton layer and there we have it.
As in the previous case, its background is black and we could do the same.
We could come and select plot mode.
But what happens?
That we are left with traparity and we see some halos around the skeleton.
It's not worth it to us. In this case what I'm going to do is something else.
I'm going to put it in normal mode and I'm
going to select the 'object selection' tool
and I'm going to select the 'select subject' option.
I am going to verify, first, that I have selected that the
process be executed in the cloud, that the results are better.
Now yes, I click on the select subject option and I let
Photoshop work and there we have a selection of the skeleton.
As I am positioned on the layer, I am going to create a
new 'layer mask' and there we have our skeleton to which
we have removed the background.
We are going to place the skeleton in the position we want it to be.
We're going to leave it there.
As you can see, I'm going to go over to see if I have to correct anything in
the selection he made in Photoshop and he really made a perfect selection.
So I don't see without anything to touch up.
In any case, since the background was black, something has
been left uncleaned because it blends into the background.
It doesn't have a big problem either.
I'm going to zoom out from the image and I already have my skeleton in position.
If I had this skeleton here dancing or a person dancing,
A shadow would appear below due to the effect of this focus.
Therefore,
pressing 'Ctrol-new layer'.
As you can see, a layer is created underneath.
I'm going to put this new layer in 'multiply' blending mode.
I select a brush with 0% hardness, I am going to
take a flow around 10% and what I am going to do
is that I am now going to select the foreground
color of some dark color in the image, so
Make sure that shadow has the same tone as the original shadow in the photo.
I take the 'drop counter' tool and select a point where
there is a shadow within the photo, as may be here.
Now I'm going to my brush with the selection I just made and
very gently I'm going to create a shadow under the skeleton.
That shadow should go to the right, since the focus
will send that light that will come in this direction.
I see her too much below.
I'm going to select the 'selection' tool
and I'm going to back out of the skeleton.
Perhaps this shadow is too invasive.
Therefore, I am going
to lower the opacity
up to a value that I see seems realistic.
It's perfect there.
I'm going to call this layer 'skeleton shadow'.
I'm going to select the skeleton layer
and the skeleton shadow layer, press 'Ctrl-G' and it will create a group for me.
I'm going to call this group 'Esqueleto'.
I am now going to work on the pumpkin layer.
I position myself on the pumpkin layer, enable the layer to be
visible and I'm going to place the pumpkin where I want it to be.
If you remember, it was high.
It's a thing around here more or less.
I'm going to select the pumpkin to remove the background it has.
I select the object selection tool and I'm
going to select the 'select subject' option.
I let Photoshop do the work.
And there is the selection you have made of the pumpkin.
Position it on the pumpkin layer, create its layer
mask and there we have the background pumpkin.
I think I'm going to lower the image a little more.
Before I continue downloading the
image further, what I am going to do
It is to create a shadow underneath that makes it come into contact with the ground.
If you look, the skeleton gives the sensation that it is levitating because
the shadow is not in contact with the object that generates that shadow.
In the case of the pumpkin, the pumpkin is resting on the ground, so
I need that shadow to be more intense and to be close to the pumpkin.
I'm going to position myself on the pumpkin layer as before.
I'm going to press 'Ctrl-new layer'.
A layer is created underneath.
I'm going to set it to the 'multiply' blending mode and using the
color that we already had selected to create the previous shadow,
selecting the brush with the settings
it had when the skeleton shadow.
I zoom in on the image and I'm going to paint that
shadow that the pumpkin will have underneath it.
There is.
If you see Photoshop, a clear border
has been left on the edge of the pumpkin.
I'm going to position myself on the pumpkin layer
and I'll see if I can eliminate it using the 'minimal-others-filter'.
It's perfect there.
You have eliminated your borders that you had created with perhaps '2' is too much.
I'll see with '1'.
Well with '1'
better.
We click 'ok', and we now have that image of the pumpkin
with its shadow under it and the background it had removed.
As in the previous case.
I'm going to select the pumpkin and this layer, which I'm going to call Pumpkin Shadow.
I select the two layers, 'Ctrl-G' and I'm going to call this group 'pumpkin'.
Once this group is selected I am going to position the pumpkin better.
I think it's better to go a little further to the right
and what I'm going to do now is create that reflection.
which showed the pumpkin in the original image that I have shown you.
I'm going to deploy the group, I'm going to position
myself on the pumpkin layer, I'm going to give it
'Ctrl-J' so that I have created a copy of the pumpkin layer.
I'm going to call this copy 'pumpkin feflex'.
I'm going to reverse the pumpkin image.
I'm going to come to edit-transform-flip vertical.
As you can see, he turned my pumpkin upside down.
I'm going to close the window
story that is taking away a portion of my window.
I'm going to call this layer 'pumpkin reflection'.
I'm going to drag this layer below the
pumpkin layer using the 'selection' tool too.
I'm going to place it in the position where I want
this reflection to be, which can be around here.
But what has happened?
I have lost the shadow because the 'pumpkin
reflection' has to be below the shadow image.
There, the shadow on the pumpkin reflection is much better.
I'm going to press 'Ctrl-T' and I'm going to flatten this image a little.
From my point of view, a reflection should look a little more flattened.
Press 'OK'.
Now I'm going to come to the opacity of this window and I'm going
to lower the opacity of the window, since it's a reflection,
It is not a real image, and must be something ethereal.
Also, since it is a reflection, that reflection of the pumpkin should look somewhat out of focus.
I'm going to come to Filter-Blur and select 'Gaussian Blur'.
Here I'm going to select a small blur.
We'll see...
more or less around there.
Well yes, I think that there we enable and enable to
see and perfect, I'm going to leave that blur at 1.5.
And another effect that this reflection has on us is that the closer to the
pumpkin, the more the pumpkin will be appreciated and the further away, the less.
So, to create that effect, what I'm going to do first
is remove this mask from the 'pumpkin reflection' layer.
I click on the layer mask, the one with the
pumpkin reflection, and drag it to the trash can.
Now I have to tell him if I want him to just remove that mask,
either cancel this request to remove the mask or apply the mask...
I'm going to hit 'apply the mask'.
And we are left with only the image of the pumpkin.
What I'm going to do now is add a layer mask
and I'm going to select the 'gradient' tool.
I'm going to select a basic gradient, the one that goes from black to white.
Positioned on the edge of the image of the pumpkin's reflection,
I skewer and pull towards the pumpkin and in this way,
As you can see, this area closest to the edge of the photo is hidden.
Playing with this tensioner.
What we can do is what intermediate transition
point is more or less close to the pumpkin.
I'm going to leave it more or less there.
I think it's okay.
I'm going to close the pumpkin group.
I am now going to unfold the 'skeleton' group and I am also
going to create a reflection, as in the case of the pumpkin.
I am going to position myself on the skeleton, press 'Ctrl-J'.
Since I know I won't need the skeleton background,
I'm going to remove the layer mask now.
I click on the layer mask and drag it to the trash.
I say 'apply' as in the previous case.
As you can see, I have been left with the image of the skeleton alone, without a background.
I'm going to come to edit-transform and 'flip vertical'.
As you can see, it has turned my bones upside down.
I'm going to position this skeleton below the skeleton
and the skeleton shadow, but inside the skeleton group
using the selection tool.
Actually in the original image I had not made this
reflection that is barely visible, but well, according to
I was now recording the video, I thought it could look better.
I'm going to press 'Ctrl-T' and I'm going to make this skeleton flatter, more flattened.
I press 'OK' and I'm going to lower its opacity...
I'm going to leave it there.
I'm going to add a 'layer mask', I'm going to go to
the 'gradients' tool and as in the previous case,
From the edge I am going to click to where the foot of the skeleton ends.
And now playing with this tensor, I edit the
transition of the reflection transparency.
I'm going to leave it more or less there.
I'm going to lower the opacity a little so that it's
not so obvious, because it's also raised off the ground.
That's why the reflection has to be fainter.
I'm going to leave
it there, 25%,
well better than 15%.
There it is, make it very faint.
But that reflection, I think, is too far behind.
With skeleton copy layer.
I'm going to select the 'selection' tool
And I'm going to take that foot down a little bit, until I place it
in a position that seems more realistic to me, which could be there.
I'm going to call this
layer 'skeleton reflection'.
I'm going to close the skeleton group and as you can see I
already have my pumpkin placed with its reflection, my skeleton
placed with its reflection and the ghosts in the background placed.
I'm going to adjust the lighting of the ghosts so that this
light coming out of the spotlight illuminates these ghosts.
Although I am seeing that this ghost here is taller
than the one behind the skeleton that is covered.
Therefore, it will invert the image.
Edit-transform-flip horizontal’.
So that ghost that was taller is more visible
and this shorter one is behind the skeleton.
I am now going to place
the ghosts so that that lighting
of the spotlight is realistic, and simulates
the one that is illuminating the ghosts.
And I would leave it there.
The only thing I'm going to lower
the opacity a little more, maybe to 50%.
Perfect.
There it is, there we have those ghosts in the background that are barely
visible and we have achieved this by lowering the opacity of their layer.
I'm going to give this bulb a color tone, so that its
temperature resembles the color temperature of the pumpkin.
I'm going to select the eyedropper and I'm going to select
a color of these dark oranges that are on the pumpkin.
Perfect, I'm going to position myself
above the focus layer and add a new layer.
I'm going to select my brush with 0% hardness.
I'm going to make it flattened down so that its inclination coincides
with that of the focus and I'm going to make a single click in the middle.
Sorry, I forgot one detail.
I'm going to press 'Ctrl-Z', I'm going to select the flow at 100% and I'm going to repeat the task.
Click in the middle and as you see, I have created
there in the center, like a kind of orange lighting.
I'm going to put this layer in 'multiply' blending mode.
And now I'm going to create another new layer, which I'm also going to
put in 'multiply' blending mode, I'm going to make the cursor bigger
so that it occupies
all the focus.
I click and as you see there we have that light that the orange bulb emits.
We are going to lower the opacity of that layer and the first one.
As for the second one, I do like it, but I don't
like the first layer in the center very much.
I'm going to position myself on 'layer 1' and change it to blending mode.
I'm going to put it in 'color' blending mode.
See?
This is how that light looks with a certain orange tone.
Maybe in 'layer 2' I have to raise the opacity a
little more and I'm going to leave it around 70%.
I'm going to take these two layers 'Ctrl-G' and I'm going to call it 'focus light'.
The skeleton is still too white, so I'm going
to put it above all the layers, above the layer
pumpkin, which is the first, and I create a layer of uniform color.
Since I have selected the foreground color, the color that I clicked
on for the pumpkin, the layer with that color already appears.
And now I'm going to put this layer in 'color' blending mode.
As you can see, everything has turned orange, but it is too intense an orange.
I'm going to go to the layer, opacity and I'm going to lower the opacity.
And what I want is for the image to have a certain
orange tone, but not for the image to be orange.
Really what I want is to give some warmth to that color temperature.
Maybe I'm going to leave it around 15%.
Now I'm going to
add some text to it.
I'm going to congratulate you on Halloween.
I select the 'text' tool, click on the screen and the 'lorem
ipsum' appears that I am going to replace with 'Happy Halloween'.
Ok, I confirm the text and now by clicking on the selection
I am going to place this text where it best suits me.
As you see, the skeleton is ahead, and this cannot be.
It has to be behind.
I'm going to take the 'Happy Halloween'
cape and I'm going to pass it through
under the skeleton.
Now, it's perfect.
I'm going to double-click this layer to open the layer styles.
I'm going to zoom in, I'm going to add that it has 'bevel and relief'.
As you can see, a rim of light is created around it, a halo of light.
I choose the 'bevel and relief' option
and I'm going to play first with the depth...
I think it's too much.
Maybe with 50...
better.
Okay, I'm going to leave the size as it was very small.
Two. I'm going to leave it at 4 and I'm going to leave
it so that it moves upwards and comes out forward.
We press 'ok'.
Now I'm going to create a duplicate of this image.
'Ctrl-J' We have a 'Happy Halloween Copy'.
I'm going to remove the layer styles from this image...
On the layer right click, 'Delete layer styles'.
Now I'm going to come to edit-transform-flip vertical.
As you can see, the image has been turned upside down.
I select the selection tool, excuse the
redundancy, click on our text and see it placed.
I'm going to call this layer 'Reflection.
Happy Halloween' and I'm going to position it under the 'Happy Halloween' layer.
Since it is a reflection of the floor of this text, I am going to press 'Ctrl-T',
I'm going to select 'right click' and I'm going to select the
'perspective' option, which won't let me because I'm in escape text mode.
And now I'm going to click on this layer and I'm going to rasterize it.
And now, 'Ctrl-T', right button and perspective.
Now I can warp this text with the perspective that that image would have.
Since it is too high, I press the right
button, select the 'scale' and make it shorter.
As in the previous case, filter-blur
and ‘Gaussian blur’.
Well look, I think we are going to leave the
blur that we had before, which is a little less.
Okay, we're going to leave it there. 'Okay'.
I select the 'gradient' tool and I'm going to add 'reflection' to the layer
Happy Halloween’ a cape mask.
That layer mask I click on the tip of it and I'm going to
go up with the capital letter pressed, so as not to twist,
to where I want to create that gradient.
Playing with this tensor I see how I manage that gradient
without further ado, close to the whites or closer to the blacks.
As you know, white shows what is in that layer and black hides it.
I'm not going to leave it more or less in the center.
I'm now going to lower the
opacity of the layer a little.
I'm going to click single
selection tool and I'm going to
bring this text a little closer
and I'm going to leave it there.
I now move away from the image.
Well, our Halloween composition is now finished.
First of all I'm going to grab the two text layers right click, press, Ctrl-G'.
I'm going to call this group 'Text'.
I now position myself on the color fill layer that is
above all of them and I'm going to press 'Shift-Ctrol-Alt-E'.
In this way I obtain an accumulation of all the layers underneath.
Why do I want this image that I just created?
Well, I'm going to zoom in on the image so you can see it.
Since I have joined together four different images, with different
qualities, what I want is for them all to have more or less the same quality.
I'm going to add noise to this image to unify the quality of all of them.
I'm going to come to filter-noise, 'add noise'.
I'm going to add a noise around '1.5',...
I'm going to leave it at '1.3'.
And in this way we have more or less unified the quality of the four images.
Well, that's it for today's video. I hope you liked it.
