Sandra Shan Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Hi Damien, a client has asked if l can put bub in hubby's helmet so l am attempting that...the problem l am having is l want to put bub inside the helmet and have googled some info on how to do that, the first screenshot is me having brought in the pic of bub and resized, the info l got in regards to making bub look like she is actually in the helmet was to drag bub's layer down in between the 2 layers of the helmet but as you can see on the second screenshot when l do that bub's pic disappears...for the life of me l cannot work out where l have gone wrong......

Damien Symonds Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I don't know what rubbish tutorial you're looking at. There should NOT be two helmet layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Please please PLEASE find the emails. If they went to junk, mark them as not junk so you don't miss any more. Yep, you've done the layers perfectly, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The first thing to do is unclip that layer. Clipping is not necessary here. Then it's time to add some shadow for realism. In between the two layers you have there, add a Hue/Saturation layer, and lower the Lightness slider to about -60. Then invert its mask, then start painting on some shadows under the arm and hand, with a very low opacity brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Shan Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Okay thankyou will repost when done..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Shan Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Okay here it is followed your instructions......l really suck at applying shadow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Yeah, I find shadows really difficult too. May I see the "before"? I mean, the photo with the Hue/Sat layer turned off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Shan Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Here is before shadow......l think it looks crap.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 It sure does. Why is there such a white glow? It looks like your masking was nowhere near precise enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Shan Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Yeah l don't know what happened there, it isn't in the previous one's so will have to go back and fix it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Shan Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Great....do you think l need to go a bit darker directly under the arm & fingers or is it enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I think you need to add some broad soft shadowing to the child's back, because I reckon the light would be dimmer inside the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Shan Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Have added shadow to his back is this okay....first pic with shadow, second pic without Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
