Default How do I PHOTOSHOP: Bluring a hood to see the engine bay?

I have been learnign alot with photoshop and I was wondering how you make the hood clear to see the engine bay?

I know the part where you take 2 pictures, one with the hood open and one with it closed, but how do i layer them and blur out the parts i want to to show underneith?

Anybody know?

Thanks

use a tripod, take a picture with the hood up then down, open both in photoshop, merge the closed hood layer into the open one, use the eraser but change the opacity to you likeing and bam there you have it.

I was too lazy to do the write-up cause it's so ****** hot here, stupid So Cal weathers.

So look at my screenshot and take a guess of what I did...

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by vain &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">** Under The Hood PhotoChop ** [ btw, my bad, i guess you just can't drag into a new layer ]

1 . open the two images [ as shown ]



2 . go to the open hood image, then press CTRL+A [ or Select All ], then CTRL+C
[ to copy ], then click on the closed hood image, and press CTRL+V [ to paste ].
the open hood image should have pasted into the closed hood image as a new layer.

3 . now turn off the closed hood image layer so that you just see the open hood
image. [ click the eye for the background layer as shown by the red box ].




4 . erase everything outside of the engine bay [ as shown ].




5 . if you turn on the background (closed hood image) layer, you should see
the car without a hood.




6 . the next part is fading the parts around the motor (and whatever else you want
to keep visible) -- this is only if you want to keep parts of the hood visible. so with
the eraser tool, you have what is called Opacity and Flow. I used an Opacity of 25%
and a Flow of 100% --- experiment to see what you prefer.



7 . turn off the background layer and start eating away at the engine bay layer.



8 . as you're doing it, you might want to turn on the background layer to see
how it looks.
