Tutorial 4

Liquid painting is actually just a mixed of settings, filters or blended layer's options. It is not something that difficult to make it,. so by the example of this tutorial, I'll show you how to make it in simple steps.

As usual, open the file first,....













Now we try all the blending option that it suit to make some liquid effect on the word of "ink." Here i used shadow, inner shadow, gradient overlay, inner glow and make it as a shadow too, and contour.













Ok, set all the blend option into a style, just drag the layer to make new style, and just simply apply it to other objects. Third step i want to make an ice freeze effect on the background so, i duplicate one of the channel which is green and simply added with the second style that contain texture. Apply it by making new shape in front of background.

























Now, look back into the blending option, and we finally just tick the blend interior effect as a group, change the opacity of the group, and its done.














lastly, change everything you like, here i put some color correction by using red channel copy to give frozen effect for the whole picture













This is the final picture of it, you can make any modification as you want it,..
have fun....
