Graphics- Ghostly images

Ghostly images

In our photoshop lesson we had to create our own ghostly images by finding a creepy background and then insert pictures of people and then making them look like ghosts.

For my first image I chose a creepy house in the woods for my background and the first ghost is a little girl in the corner and the second one is a cowboy next to the tree.

To create these ghosts I had to use the pen tool to crop around the people, which lets you crop around the image and delete what you do not need. Then I had to desaturate the cropped image of the people, which makes them black and white, and after that I blurred them to 12.5. I had to be careful not to blur them too much as it would make them too blurry which would not look good. The last thing I had to do was fade the images to 50% to make them almost invisible just like a ghost.

I created three images and I had to repeat the steps but use a different background and different people.

For the second image my background was a scary prison area and the ghosts were of a woman in a wedding dress along with a clown.

For my third image I used a creepy room as my background and a man in a suit at the back and a teenage girl at the front as my ghosts.










What I found difficult about this was using the pen tool to crop around the people because I need to do this carefully and slowly but I end up not getting rid of of what I do not need and then I have to undo and start again.

What I like about these images is that I successfully made them look ghostly and creepy and I also like my background choices which are also creepy and goes well with the ghosts.

In this lesson I learned how to blur images correctly and how to make them black and white, making them look like ghosts.
