mistressmae Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'm looking to create an effect like the one in this photo: how to I blur or fade the layers to do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistressmae Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hmmm.. that helped me a bit, but the section of the image that I'm isolating cant be selected with the wand, so I have to use the lasso. then I cant change the tolerance and i end up with a harsh line between the two layers, like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 It looks from your image like the colour is being focussed on a nonspecific centre of the image, so this may help: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=26970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistressmae Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 aha! That look like exactly what I need! One last question though: All of the pics in that tut use gradients that go from left to right. In the pic of the girl i'm working on I need the gradient to surround her more like a halo. How do I do that? (I've never used the gradient tool before...newbie!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
