Photoshop - Blur and Sharpen Effect



This is the original image.



This is the image once i had edited it using the Blur and Sharpen effects.

First i blurred the sky at a strength of 80. I then blurred the mountains in the back ground at strength level of 65.

The next part of i did was blurring the hills just in front of the mountains at 45 strength and then 30 strength on the grass on the foreground of the photo to help make the image more visible.

Then on the village i used the sharpen tool at a strength of 40 to help make the village stand out. This then helps to make this model village a better picture.

Photoshop - Dramatic broken glass effect on Mike Tyson

This was the original image that i used. I got this image from http://mediagallery.usatoday.com/Mike+Tyson+through+the+years/G3524

I then used this broken glass picture and i was going to use these images in photo shop to make it look like Mike Tyson was looking through broken glass.





I used different things such as horizontally flipping the glass image to position it better, using the effect screen to make it transparent and then it started to come to shape. I then used the polygon lasso tool to weeve in and out of the hole in the glass so that i could make a mask to make it look like Mike Tyson was really looking through a broken part of glass.

I also used a grey texture layer in-between these two images to make the glass look a different colour and to help make it look like Mike Tyson was looking through glass.


This is the finalised image.
