Silhouettes Creation Using Adobe Photoshop
by: Blur Loterina
Do you want your image to have that commercial look? If you want to learn how to make a stunning background like what you always see on posters, follow these simple steps. When you read a magazine, try to focus on the ad pages. Can you see cigarette ad with valleys and lakes for a background? Or a waterfall that was set behind a bar of soap? These images are called silhouetted images. When you say silhouette, it means that an image does not have a background of its own. It uses either text or other images as its environment. But before you can make this kind of image in Photoshop, you will have to create a Clipping Path first. |

The first step is to put your image before a white background. You can do this by cutting an image from one document and pasting it to another document with a white background and make the necessary modifications.
But, it is much better if you photograph your desired
image and put a plain white paper or something for a background. Then,
you can add text to serve as its background.
That was easy. But what if you are required to use another image as
a background? This can be solved by the Clipping Path. How do we use
this?
From the Selection icon located at the bottom of the Path palette, click the Make Work Path. This converts any selected area in the image into a path. You can use the other selection tools to select an image. To select the white areas of the background, use the Magic Wand Tool.
From the Select menu, choose Inverse to select the opposite areas. When you click on the Selection icon at the bottom of the Path palette, the selected image will be made into a path. Use the Pen tool to adjust your image.

Now, you will have to set your path to Clipping Path. To do so, from the path palette submenu, choose the Clipping Path. A dialog box will open. This allows you to choose which path to use as a Clipping Path. Now you can save the file in EPS or TIFF file format. This will mask your bitmap image when placed into page layout drawing programs or drawing software. Through this, any bitmap image will have high quality and will be resolution-independent. 20% Off Ink Coupon!!!Epson, Canon & brother inkjet cartridges at Ink4art.com
