Multimedia Détourage d'une image 3. Sélection par Plage de Couleurs Devant l'enthousiasme général déclenché par les deux épisodes précédents, voici le troisième volet de la saga "Détourage d'une image". Cette méthode est efficace dans le cas d'images à détourer se détachant sur un fond de couleur différente, comme cet oiseau par exemple. La sélection par plage de couleur, permettra de sélectionner le ciel bleu en une seule opération, tout en conservant le joli petit oiseau sur son arbre. Dans le menu choisissez Selection / Plage de couleurs. Le curseur pour la tolérance vous permettra de régler l'étendue de la plage de couleur sélectionnée. Résultat avec une tolérance à 180. pour sélectionner votre plage de couleur, utilisez la pipette pour cliquer sur une partie de l'image contenant la couleur à sélectionner. Pour cette image, j'ai utilisé une tolérance de 90 et, pour bien visualiser le résultat, dans les options de prévisualisation en bas de la fenêtre, j'ai sélectionné Masque. Validez votre choix.

Simple Underwater Scene in Photoshop A few weeks ago I received an email from a reader asking me if I could write a tutorial showing an underwater scene. I have written some tutorials on this subject like the 3D type made out of water or the underwater scene for Digital Arts in 2008. However I was watching TV this weekend when I started to watch I, Robot. The opening titles of that movie is awesome and really inspired me to write this tutorial. In this tutorial I will show you how to create a underwater scene with some bubbles and light effects. We will use the Brush Tool to create the bubbles and basic tools and filters for the rest of the effects. Step 1 Open Photoshop and create a new document, I'm using 2560x1440 pixels so I can use it as wallpaper. Step 2 Add another layer and fill it with green (234b44) Step 3 With the green layer selected go to Layer>Group Layer. Step 4 Select the green layer now and go to Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal All. Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Add another layer and then select the Gradient Tool (G). Step 8 Step 9
