You will all be happy to know that I am posting this Challenge a day early. However, I will not be checking back until late Sunday. ** Enjoy the Challenge **
If the occasion arises and you want to add two images together, quite often you’ll want to contort one to the shape of the other. This can be done with using the Displacement Map filter.
Start Image:
Final Image:
The Step to create:
1. Open an Image. (Start Image)
2. Duplicate that Image (from the top menu - File>Duplicate and click ok)
3. On the duplicated Image, desaturate it (Cmd/control+shift+u) any way you prefer.
4. Save this desaturated image in “PSD” format. Save it to your desktop and put the word MAP in the title so it is easy to find later. (Displacement Map Image) (Image 3)
5. Close this image – you do not need to save again.
6. Open the Image that you want to place on top of your original image. (Image 4)
7. Either Drag & Drop or copy and paste it into your original image.
8. Transform the image as needed to cover the area where the displacement will be.
9. Your Layer stack should look like this (Note 1)
10. To the top layer go to Filter>Distort Displace
11. Apply the setting’s shown in Note 2 and click OK (These settings are a little trial and error)
12. You will now be asked for the Displacement Map – it’s the one that you created in step 4. Select it and click ok.
13. On the top layer, change the Blendmode to Overlay and adjust the opacity as needed. Feel free to try other Blendmodes to get a different look
14. Congrats your done!
15. See Final Image
