Photography Tutorial: How To Float In Mid Air

[antispamdinista]

Can't do this without Photoshop...no doubt.

[king9430]

hey man can you tell me which camera is good SLR or DSLR right now i am using DSLR but planing my mind to purchase new one so plss tell me...

[saint21jerry]

So why use to layer if you just can use the brunch to erase unwanted item.

[PhotoExtremist]

@saint21jerry You can use the regular Eraser tool as well if you want to, but the layer mask will give you the option to go back and fix anything in case you mess up.

[CateFloyd]

i really like your videos. what kind of camera do you have?

[StuartHughes2990]

Is that the same voice machine you use when you ask for ransom?

[herestoourpast]

What's the earliest type of photoshop you can use to get this?

[PhotoExtremist]

@herestoourpast CS2 to my knowledge, maybe CS1?

[YouDeyanTube]

Just put a green sheet on your chair

[dance2soul]

what program is this? :)

[Verbloten]

were you stoned when you filmed this? tell the truth :)

[PhotoExtremist]

@Verbloten Nope :) my early videos are just awkward

[leratluci]

I have a remote for my camera but you can also use a friend lol !

[titya123456]

THanks dude, that was helpfull...!!

cheers

[SoyValeJ]

i love all your videos :D awesome

[liedy2]

When I paint over it, it just makes my stool a lighter white color. what should i do?

[PhotoExtremist]

@liedy2 make sure you select the layer mask (not the layer) before painting anything in.

[czarinaxify]

Cool. uhm.. is an SLR camera okay? im from philippines so... i dont know what cameras you use in America.

[mousaey]

@czarinaxify Yes, just make sure it's digital

[supebioshock]

can you do this with a iphone4s?

[R0ckR2]

@supebioshock yes

[TheWhiteFluffyBunny]

Use a friend, eh? I don't have one of those. Where can I buy one?

[lamarpi314]

WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK?

[PhotoExtremist]

@lamarpi314 I never left.

[brunablahh]

What type of camera did you use in this video ???? please answer :)

[PhotoExtremist]

@brunablahh it is completely irrelevant but i used a Nikon D50 at the time

[tresflip]

Can I do this using GIMP?

Thank you as always.

[PhotoExtremist]

@tresflip Yep you can, just erase the stool on the top layer.

[emilblom91]

what did u eat for breakfast today?

[greensharpiegirl]

This tutorial is so old, but I always refer back to it when I need help in the photoshop section of doing this. You're awesome. :)

[torpelinux]

que pedazo de friki ...

[rpm12017]

Good stuff!

[alman021]

you can also use paint right?

[Scorpionjp65]

You have the best tutorials I've seen thanks

[hichaeretaqua]

Great video, keep on posting. But please reduce noise reduction. This really sounds weird.

[VVDan]

YOUR VOICE! GODDAMNIT!

[sad5339]

Yeah, but like all photography, cooler than doing it with photoshop is doing without. Google search "Japanese Floating Girl". These are much more interesting and creative.

[PhotoExtremist]

@sad5339 Yeah, you can achieve the same look multiple ways. Cool.

[raferalstoncruz]

finally nailed this......thanks so much bro....

[exploit96]

When ı use the brush tool appearens a color difference what do you recommend?

[puffypenguin123]

[thwizardandtheho]

VERY COOL!! Thanks for posting!!

[jessica6389]

wich is the name of the page where he make this?

[Javy2727]

love how he turns into darth vader

[SultanaLotus]

does this work for adobe photoshop elements? or just cs5?

[mctroffle]

You should have gone back and shot the picture with your ass partially hanging off the stool and maybe with your shirt hanging out as well, might would have cured your "flat back" issue...

[Kittani1977]

@mctroffle for an example in a tutorial it's not bad... I never would have thought to do it that way. I would have placed the pic without the subject directly over the other one and deleted a hole in the layer to expose the person. Either way works but I think this is much cleaner.

[mctroffle]

@Kittani1977 s'all good, the method I was imagining would just have been a quick fix if he'd thought of it at the time, I just think like that 'cause I like having as little photoshop work to do to make the most realistic image possible. not being overly critical, I just really think if you're making tutorials of any kind you should be prepared enough to execute them without waving off mishaps.

[mctroffle]

@Kittani1977 that would be cleaner I agree, if he had taken the time to go back and reshoot the video with his shirt/body hanging slightly over the stool, then he wouldn't have had to brush it off after and awkwardly claim it was 'just fine', as if the whole point of making the picture weren't to make it look realistic... I don't mean to pester but if you're showing peeps how to take neat pictures like this you should at least tell how to prevent things like that that make the image look fake.

[mctroffle]

@Kittani1997 I just realized I think I already responded to this a month ago. now I'm really beating the dead horse. haha, my bad.

[RoZeGr]

you could do the ultimate plank with this hahaha

[IIPaPiTo]

How to do this with Gimp 2

[gentel916]

YAY ! the first person i see is into photo stuff and doesn't use a MAC ... EPIC !

[vonhedenberg]

Cool man!

How did u make that picture in 06:00?

[JonatasFlausino]

2:22 are you a robot? O:

[PhotoExtremist]

@JonatasFlausino Yes.

[sendhelpbaylon]

when ever you do this always take off the auto white balance.

[timmotytimmoty]

What does Ctrl I mean??

[PhotoExtremist]

@timmotytimmoty those are buttons on the keyboard.... press CMD or Command I if you are on a mac computer

[RMO6701]

very creative ....

[bpmuzik808]

[PhotoExtremist]

@dchiebrudz It's called GIMP

[kirbyboy75]

@PhotoExtremist can you show how to do this on gimp?

[JulielovesYari]

i have a mac and im getting stuck when im supposed to invert mask on the image without the person, can you please explain it to me?

[PhotoExtremist]

@JulielovesYari Make sure the layer MASK is selected (not the picture, but it's mask) to do this, just click on it once. Then after you clicked on it, type in CTRL+I or maybe Command+I or CMD+I or Option+I or ALT+I. Alternatively, just click Image > Adjustments > Invert.

[dchiebrudz]

If I send you a picture do you think you could edit it for me please?

[PhotoExtremist]

@dchiebrudz Sorry, I just dont have the time :( try asking in a Flickr group, I am sure you will get somone

[caramilk101]

[PhotoExtremist]

@caramilk101 I use Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64bit computer. Anything CS2 or above will work fine.

[caramilk101]

[caramilk101]

[BridgeandTiff]

I have Elements 9...can you show how to do a levitation photo with that software?

[PhotoExtremist]

@BridgeandTiff I think you can do it in Elements but it is a little different. Search on youtube "layer mask photoshop elements"

[dchiebrudz]

what website do you get ur photoshop from?

[xBananaSurferx]

THANK YOU! amazing tutorial!!

can you do the editing on Gimp? its free so..hah

and if not what program do you use and how much does it cost?

[PhotoExtremist]

@xBananaSurferx You can do it with GIMP but I don't use it so can't tell you how, however the basic concept is exactly the same. I use Photoshop, It costs around $100-$1000 depending on what version you get, etc.

[xBananaSurferx]

@PhotoExtremist

thanks a lot again!!
