Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 732 Enhancing your crazy space porthole, part of Deke's Techniques.
- [Instructor] In this movie, we're gonna take…our crazy space portal so far,…which is a little bit flat and drab, frankly.…We're gonna do a better job of blending it…into its environment with the help…of a couple of additional layers and layer effects.…In the end, we'll achieve this glowing work of art.…The first thing I'm gonna do…is grab this variations layer right there…and I wanna create a copy of it…by pressing Control + j or Command + j on a Mac.…Now I'm gonna turn off the original.…Notice the duplicate layer…is clipping that adjustment layer above it.…
I'm gonna go ahead and change the blend mode…associated with this layer to hard light…so we get this nice blend between the rings and the stars.…Now we need to reinstate some of the original luminesce.,…so I'm gonna turn that original layer back on…and I'll select it as well, and I'll change its blend mode…to luminosity just so that we have that original detail.…Just so we can see what we're doing,…I'll turn that duplicate layer off for the moment.…I'm gonna go ahead and right click on this layer mask,…
