Photoshop Training Video Site

This is one of the best vidios of Photoshop. In this video we will leartn how to make water drop on any object. With the help of easy tools we can create awesome water droplets on bottle, cans, leaves, cars anything that we like. And guess what? We are not going to create a new picture, instead of which we will just add these water droplets, on an existing photot. That means it is just as good as modifying or making photos more attractive. So i want people to go through this cool chapter of Photoshop and enjoy modification in your photos.

Hey there and welcome to Photoshop tutorial from Ice Flow studios. In this tutorial I am going to be fielding requests that I have from few people on how to create water droplets. Now I found a method online that’s quite simple and quite effective so I am going to be showing you how to do that right now. The first thing we need to do is create our water droplet shape. You can use the pen tool, you can use the marquee tool or we can use the ellipse tool which we are going to use right now. Once you have that selected we need to choose a nice neutral grey color. I am going to be using a 50% grey for this example. Click ok and draw out your shape. Now to keep things simple in this tutorial I am going to be sticking with a nice circular shape. You can obviously use the direct selection tool right here to adjust some of the nodes or you can use the pen tool to get a nice exact shape that you want. So here we go. We need to start applying some layer styles. First thing we are going to do is we are going to change the blend mode to overlay.

Now right away looking at it, it doesn’t do anything for you. Don’t worry that will come into play later on. We are going to double click on this layer in a nice blank area to bring up our layer styles dialog box. Now we are gonna start at the top and go down the list adding a bunch of layer styles. So the first thing that we are going to add is a drop shadow. Keep blend mode at multiply. Keep the color at black. The opacity is going to be set down to 15%. The angle can be set to 90 degrees. Keep used global light checked on.

Keep it to 5 bring it down a little bit, keep it at 4. Spread is 4, size is 4 and make sure that the contour is set to the second one right here and turn this on. Next is we are going to add in an inner shadow. Basically the exact same options almost. The opacity is 15%, angle 90%, distance is 5, keep the choke at 0 and set the size to 5. Next we are going to add an inner glow right over here and these settings are as follows. The blend mode multiply all the way up here. Set the color to black. The opacity is going to be set to 20% and the size is going to be set to 4. I am moving to our next option we are going to add and emboss. We are going to keep the style at inner side. We are going to keep the depth at 100%. The size is going to be kept to 15 pixels. Keep the angle at 90 degrees.

The altitude is going to be set to 70. Just like that. The highlight mode put it at normal. Keep the color at white. Increase the opacity to 100%. The shadow mode is going to be set to overlay. The color is going to be white and we are going to set it to 90 percent. And then click on ok. So we have a basic water droplet right over here. It looks pretty nice. Now depending on the size of your water droplet the settings will vary and obviously according to your personal preference you can change the settings to your liking. But there’s one thing that’s a little bit off. When you have a water droplet the light gets distorted so whatever’s behind it as you can see the tip of the A will be distorted so here’s how we can do that. We are gonna select in our layers palette the background layer.

Holding down command or control click on the water droplet layer which will create it as a selection just like this. And then what we can do is we can go to filter, distort and then ripple and then adjust the settings accordingly to your personal preference. Now as you can see if we zoom in here we have an example of what it is going to look like.

So we are just looking for a little bit of distortion so we can adjust the angle, the amount just like this. I am going to put it around 900 percent and click ok and then deselect. So we have a little bit of distortion which kind of gives a little bit more of a realistic feel to it. And obviously you can add as many water droplets as you want, change the shape of them, do whatever you please. So that was a quick tutorial on how to create simple yet effective water droplets for your products in Photoshop.
