Photoshop
Effects - Aura
I'm a kind
of sea environment fan. When I saw the photo of this clown
I thought about using it in this effect. My idea was to
surround the small fish with the aura effect. But, what
should I do with the Anemone Tentacles? It is difficult,
isn't it?
In the tool
bar select the Polygon Lasso Tool. With this tool
giving small clicks select the tentacles of Anemone as
in the example below.
Now, in the
Edit menu: Edit>Copy and Edit>Paste. You have just
created a new Layer as you have attached the
small fish. In Window: Window>Show Layers select Background.
In the
tool bar select the Pen Tool and give small clicks
around it thus creating a Path as in the example below.
Go to the
Path window (that) you have just created. Can you see
how easy it is?
Press the
arrow on the upper right corner and click on
Make Selection. A selection that surrounds the Path
is created. Now, click on the Turn off
Path. The Path does not appear any more.
Now, in the
Edit menu: Edit>Copy and Edit>Paste, and another
Layer is created.
In the Path
window click on the Work Path and your Path is
activated again. In the standard color icon invert
the colors. So, it becomes white in the front and black
in the background.
Now, paint
the small fish in white color as in the example
below. Don't worry with the Anemone Tentacles.
Click on
the Airbrush Tool twice and open its window. In
the sliding control mark 50 and select Screen in the Mode
list.
Now, in Window:
Window>Show Brushes, select brush of n 35. In the Select
menu: Select>Inverse, to invert the selection.
In the Path
window click on the Stroke Path icon, once.
This icon is in the lower right corner of the
window. Now, a white aura surrounds the small fish.
Still in the
path, click on the small arrow and delete
the path. You will not need this Path any more.
In the Layer
menu: Layers>Arrange>Bring you the Front. Use
this tool to arrange the Layers as in the example below.
The task is
finally ready. Wasn't it worth? Try to repeat this
effect with different objects.
