  1. Hello,

    I don't know if there is such a tool but there is a plugin that I found in an expected location (text formation) that may help giving objects a metallic look: Creative Text Pro. Give it a try, it has other textures as well.

    To do exactly what the author of the blog did, you'd need to invert the channels. I actually checked, here's the check:

    You can tell that from the top left picture of each group are inverted. There may also be some control involved into each channels.

    It's hard to see from the blue side, but you can tell that the pictures for other channels other than red don't have to be the same.

    Yes, at first I thought the images were the negatives of pictures and I could not blend them correctly till MJW mentioned channel extractions and the use of additive mode.  I find it interesting that there are several methods of doing this effect.

     

    I used your Extract Channel plugin for this image. :)

    It can be done fairly easily without a special plugin.

    • Convert the original image to black and white.
    • Run Ed Henry's Extract Channel plugin. Set the channel to Red, and uncheck the Grayscale checkbox. The image will now be red.
    • Add a layer, and set its Blend Mode to Additive.
    • Fill the layer with some random black and white pattern. For example, run Clouds, perhaps followed by Dents or Crystalize.
    • Run Extract Channel, this time setting the Channel to Blue.
    • Add another layer, and set its Blend Mode to Additive.
    • Fill the layer with some random black and white pattern.
    • Run Extract Channel, this time setting the Channel to Green.
    • Flatten the image.

    The effect is best when the Green and Blue layers obscure the image in the Red layer.

     

    EDIT: Though it's probably obvious, I should have mentioned that the Blue and Green images don't need to be random patterns -- they can be any black-and-white images, colored by applying Extract Channel. In the original examples, they're other portraits.

    Thanks MJW. I followed your instructions. I don't know what the layers modes do but they do what I needed. 😊

  4. I found on the net a neat effect that I could use at school with my students. I would like to be able to reproduce it but I don't know the steps and I didn't find a plugin to do this either. As you can see, on the left side, two images have been merged in such a way that when a red filter is placed over them a hidden image will be revealed.

    For example, I would like to combine Van Gogh and Sorolla's portraits and make the painter Sorolla appear when a red filter is used.

    The combined image will be printed and red cellophane will be used as a filter.

     

    Thanks for the help.
