Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007 running time 09:45
The universal solvent takes center stage as Bert demonstrates how to
create realistic looking water droplets and explains how in imaging it
is important to study reality in order to re-create it.
Bert has made his source files available for this episode available here.

" Look to another episode -- pixel perfect -- on shall I show you all kinds of neat Photoshop tricks however welcomed -- my mind. Today I'm gonna go back. I'm doing me favors to a bit that I've found from a lot of email for people want to see again and some people I guess and so the first activate -- expects thing technique. That is the affect the war. A very simple thing like Warner now the problem with what does that it has all of these things going on there. Now quite some time ago actually had to do a little so it can happen to drop water on. So I actually studied. What it looked like. -- in the airport -- particular from a desk -- a moron and that it does he was going on as very important when you doing imaging. Is this study we -- you don't get. Nothing well this is what I shadows should look like going that there is no. This of the little decades out of a piece of paper or something like something I -- that cast a shadow as -- would happen. And I'm guessing you might be off. And even the untrained I've gone to the hippies say and the phone wanna know why but they'll notice something is wrong it's very important study reality you know to recreate. So when I was trying to do that Warner all the -- drop atomic and I actually studied the effects of war. That that order and I -- so right here on my screen I have this very simple background but to line Stuart little gradient that. The famous image that I use. This is there a little later. And who they are got a Russian -- hearted brush and a color white -- the Google and here and draw the word wet."
" Like that. I would book a little dots here and had to be they'll drop the water that are just accumulated over the place right there right for now. I have to go in there and did that affect the wars double click on that may have to bring up the layer. -- files and even the waters transparent that have masks and things like half the -- elegant little drop shadow. Which we have full control over the angle. Further distance there and maybe a little bigger so it's little. Soft on the edges and we'll bring down capacity in the orbit. There's not -- with transparent right but it does have that -- who go in there angular little more distance we have a nice little fatter right along that it right there. Okay now it also have little image data that's one vote on -- said you are given little inner shadow which we see right there increased that this is a little bit you know what has changed angle. Ever so slightly so we have a little more on this -- as well. Now put that. Into a different mode and put that in overlay mode which right now and you kind of disappear as well the next. Style that I use -- his own -- that's what we began a round. I am gonna go in here and up increased adapt -- really strong light and dark increased decides. By that and soften up a little more. Us like that which -- highlight along the -- now 200%. Now when I even see highlight why because of the original white pixels. Now this shadow along here is what -- have to really manipulate. Because the world not cast a shadow and what's gonna happen the water act the magnifying glass as an intensified colors. I won't be able assume that whites -- backtracked a bit -- Lending options and -- my -- options. If you don't have to pass the capacity of the -- We quickly explain that capacity deals with the overall -- but -- I bring that down if you -- the layers is appearing that is you know everything's appear. Bring -- bring that back up that capacity you can view the original pixels that you created in that they're the white pixels. New pixels I would generated agreed to drop shadow of the inner shadow and that problem boss since the overall passing thought defend those -- man -- that. But bring that up -- in the original white pixels and this is why bring that down to zero. That they went away but my X is still there now that I can see effect let's go back the bubble -- want to do is I wanna go in here and make this area right here -- deep shadow is make that increased the color saturation of the color and need it. Black is not gonna do that -- go there and changed the color to white. -- will have an effect but right now it's disappeared because being a shadow it's that the multiply. It's very important point. That stated many times as many shows that within qualms what they do. Is a good case. I want that toner on that it being a shadow it's that the multiplied with that the black but to be making a few modifications. Be able to make it do what I want to do. Which in this case using white and a different mode of colored dodge. They could see what happened back in now get this nice effect happening a banana capacity just a little bit. Click okay -- not everything that I doing this layer is gonna have that nice little what are we effect and continue to do all these little things and it starts to look like the drop of water. Now a second ago I think that the war I think magnifying glass is looking good but it's still not right because the lines are going through -- across. And it what I expect little magnifying glass of little lines should start to get this distorted somewhere I felt. I'm gonna go in and store all those lines but does a pretty involved little project here and have ergo I'm gonna show. That he could do it all in one big -- and accurately. Following those fate that's where another -- the comes in has been there for a long time but most people about it or displace. Which is actually a very first show I did back in 2001. Whatever it was at this is it was argued that filters as I -- here. I would do that turned those into a selection. -- click on the up on a preview icon and save it to an alpha channel. -- as they say -- the election there okay I've got an opt out there it is. The -- like that. And what happens in the displacement. Is that it could use. The animosity guys of one image. The bend the pixels of another and we have a neutral density of the I think they'll have no effect and lighters and political -- that left. And you can darker we'll put him down right and I didn't white letters on a black background development. And it in my mind that gauzy -- just to soften them up and I've given -- quite -- there. Click okay. Have to be a separate file so there was gonna do with select all. Copy. New. K. Paste. -- but closes but I am gonna save it caught my map. And -- put it right on my desktop. Right now back over here I can put up -- way don't need anymore as the select. Go back to others the background as well -- can bend them duplicate my background. An astronaut that is for a second as my background. I come over here I think filter. Distort. Displace there's that built. Why most people don't know it means and what it does look at that dialogue box doesn't say much -- the default which is 1010. Okay and it's asking me for that second image that displacement map which is on my desktop there it is map. I click okay and open right there and then he that the lines have been bad. Now. I can't put those lines with the word because the fact that the word. The capacity with what down to zero and connect it masks I can put into it could disappear. Mrs. dole patsy to that that later so don't do it I'm gonna get that -- of the background a layer mask. -- at all which is a black bit. Now eternal though isn't the selection again -- back and would that layer mask selected I'm gonna go ahead of -- with white. Now would see that that part inside the -- has now been affected and we see these nice little lines are all being twisted inside of my. The water. I look back my sponsors godaddy.com. The guys will host a web -- though too -- control your domain name anything you want and if you insert code. Of up pixel PI XEL I pixel perfect they'll give you additional five dollars off any purchase those dollars and more. The go to godaddy.com. And spoke to him about it. I hope you had a good time enjoy what you saw here and it you have to be want to see then Anemia headed to bear and revision3.com. I would like to see. If other files that I have a presence in the old line file over here to recreate this -- it's available at pixel -- at Revision 3. But -- slash pixel perfect data files will be. Popular something though that the played that's way to learn that there and play -- not work it's play. -- find enough in the next show."
