- Hey Gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now, next Monday is Halloween.…And in deference to the occasion, I'm going to present you…with a spoo-oky technique.…Now there's a special effect that's been getting…some attention lately, and it's known as the hovering head.…I've seen it pulled off using makeup,…but I don't know makeup, so I'm going to show you…how to do it in Photoshop.…So we're going to start with this entirely un-retouched…photograph of this model, and she's actually…wearing grease paint, by the way.…And we're going to separate her head from her neck,…in order to create this deliciously gruesome effect.…
Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…Alright, here's the final version of the image,…just so you have a chance to see it on-screen.…We're going to be starting inside of this file,…which comes to us from the Dreamstime image library,…about which you can learn more at dreamstime.com/deke.php.…Alright, so I'm going to go ahead and turn off that URL.…And I've gone ahead and done some work in advance…
