Mmm, did you do the hologram effect? Nice, if so, that's hard to get right and you're pretty close on what - I think - is your first attempt.

It's actually pretty good, but I would recommend sizing it down a little bit. Having a smaller image looks better when there's just one picture and text. Also just bring the text out just a tad bit more.

I just used color balance to make him blue and then i used filter>distort>video and did horizontal or something. It looked good to me. I should look up how to do a real hologram effect.

Here's a brief visual of how I do it:

Let's see...

1. Initial image cut away from background.
2. Duplicate layer twice.
3. On duplicate layer 1, use the "wind" distort effect. Use "both" for the leading edge.
4. Do the same thing on duplicate layer 2, but do the wind from the opposite direction.
5. Merge those layers together.
6. Blur that layer a bit.
7. On the layer you DIDN'T mess with yet, erase every other row (also in distorts).
8. Merge that down from ABOVE the wind layer.
9. Colorize to blueish.
10. Apply a soft glow effect (in "artistic" menu).

There you go. 10 easy steps for holograms in GIMP. I suspect the instructions are very similar for Photoshop.

Here's my first try.



I must say, your tutorial is really good.

I think you may have accidently merged the wind layer on top of the lined layer (instead of the other way around). Or you need to blur the wind layer a bit more.

Even so, I think it looks quite a bit closer to the movies than your previous method.
