Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 468 Adding a ghost to your haunted mansion, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Alright, so at the last minute,…I decided this should be a haunted mansion,…which means of course that we need a ghost,…as we're seeing down here in the bottom right window.…And I'm going to show you exactly how…I created that ghost in this very movie.…And so, the first step was to go…to the Fotolia image library, about which…you can learn more, and get deals,…at fotolia.com/deke.…And run a search for "ghost."…And my favorite hit was this image here.…Now we need to select the ghost,…and the easiest way to do that…is to switch to the Channels panel,…so we can see what we have to work with.…
