Metal Effect
Applied on Photos in Photoshop 7
by TutorialPark
Let us create a metal effect at the picture of the horse.
After reading the Photoshop tutorial you will be able to
apply the metal effect on any photo.
Step 1. Choose the necessary part of image by Lasso (L) tool
and copy into the new layer (Ctrl+J). In our case there are the mane and the
horse-tail. And then turn on the flag Lock transparent pixels
in the palette Layers. Turn off the Background layer.
Then press Ctrl+Shift+U for discolouring the image.
Step 2 .You have to use two filters - one after another.
The first, Filter > Noise > Median with Radius 3 pixels. It is
necessary for cleaning small "rubbish" from our image, and the surface
will be more smooth.
The second, Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur with Radius 3,5 pixels.
By changing this meaning you can regulate lines and bends flow.
Step 3. Make a new layer for regulating curves Layer > New
Adjustment Layer > Curves, and make your curve like the curve in the
picture.
Step 4. Press "Ok" and look at your image. Don't you like
it? Then you have to make the copy of our Adjustment Layer
by dragging it to the Create New Layer icon of Layers
window.
And the last Step 5. Choose Layer > Merge Visible or press
Ctrl+Shift+E, and turn on the Background layer.
The image is ready!!! See how you applied a metal effect
