571 Adding ominous crystallized skin texture

- [Instructor] In this movie, we'll take this guy…with this purple eye make up…and we'll add this crystallized skin texture…again, inspired by the villainous Kaecilius…in the movie Dr. Strange.…Alright, now the first thing…is to establish a layer onto which…we'll apply a handful of smart filters.…And that layer wants to be white.…And so I'll go ahead and switch back to this image.…Click on the purple layer to make it active…and then tap the X key in order to make…my foreground color white,…down here at the bottom of the toolbox.…

Next, I'll go to the layer menu,…choose new fill layer and then choose solid color.…And I'll go ahead an call this guy Crackles,…and then click OK.…And just like that the layer is filled with white…after which point I'll click okay again…in order to accept that change.…Now, I want to be able to apply the filters as smart filters…so we need to convert this layer to a smart object…by switching to the rectangular marquee tool…then right click anywhere inside the image window…and choose convert to smart object.…
