This entry is part 20 of 29 in the Photoshop Basix Session - Show All « Previous Next » Are you new to Photoshop? Have you been trying to teach yourself the basics of Photoshop but have found the amount of educational material available on the net a bit overwhelming? http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/photo-effects-tutorials/depth-of-field/
http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/photo-effects-tutorials/using-photoshop-and-your-brain-to-produce-diorama-illusions/ Have you ever built a diorama? It’s a depiction of a scene in miniature. Or perhaps you remember owning a dollhouse or train set as a kid. You lay on the floor, inches away from tiny versions of full-size objects. In the background, your brain was busy writing the software that makes this illusion effective. This fun photo treatment can be performed by almost anyone in short order, once some basics are understood of how the brain processes images.

Using Photoshop and Your Brain to Produce Diorama Illusions

Foggy Window Effect in Photoshop

After over three days of nonstop rain I decided to use that as inspiration for a new experiment in Photoshop. In 2007 I did a video tutorial showing how to create water drops in Photoshop, but it was only the video without any text instruction, so a lot of people have sent emails asking us to put a text version of the tutorial. I always thought that simply repeating the same tutorial wouldn't be cool so I tried to make a new effect and apply the water drops on it as well. So in this tutorial I will show you how to create a foggy window effect in Photoshop. We will use a stock photo, brushes, and layer styles to create the effect. http://abduzeedo.com/foggy-window-effect-photoshop
Tilt-shift is an effect that when applied to an image or in this case, a video, will create the illusion of miniaturization, making it seem as if the video is shooting a model set and not real life. To create one of these videos outside of Photoshop would require an expensive camera and and an even more expensive lens, which can cost into the thousands of dollars. In this tutorial I will show you how to create this effect using only Photoshop and how to apply it to almost any video. http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tutorials-effects/tilt-shift-video/
