- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques!…This week we're going to take a guy…and we're going to render him in chrome, and we're going…to do so using the new Select and Mask workspace,…as well as the ancient Chrome filter inside Photoshop.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…All right, here's our final chrome boy…just so you can see him on screen.…I'm going to start off inside this composition,…which contains two images from the Fotolia image library,…about which you can find out more at Fotolia.com/Deke.…
Now the first thing we need to do…is separate this guy from his background,…and believe it or not, the best way to do that…based on experience with this particular image,…is to click and hold on the Quick Selection tool…and grab the dreaded Magic Wand tool,…which isn't so bad as everyone thinks,…and it works out great for this image…as you're about to see.…And now I'll press the Enter key…to select the Tolerance value up here in the Options bar…and I'll change it to 20, and that's it.…
