More transition questions…

[Filip Vandueren]

All of these transitions are created with grayscales that are fed into either a “CC Image Wipe” or a “Gradient Wipe” effect.

Do a Cowsearch or Google on “gradient wipe” and you’ll find some tutorials on how to create in photoshop the grayscale images needed.

They are usually based on some distortion or noise effects on simple radial or linear gradients, although the brush stroke on is a bit harder to pull off.

So how would I pull off the paint effect with a gradient wipe/image wipe, or would I use some other technique?

Basically a gradient that looks somthing like this:

I just made three rough selections in PS and filled them with gradients form 0-33%, from 33-66% and from 66-100% greyscale.

One last question, how did you create that image, what effect did you use?

Pretty basic stuff:

I choose one of photoshop’s brushes that emulates a paintstroke, set it pretty big and then:

create a selection by brushing in the quick mask, switch to selection.
Fill that selection with a linear gradient from left to right using colors 0% grey to 33% grey.

on a layer below that one: create the middle stroke selection, gradient 33-66 right to left

on a layer below that: create the bottom stroke selection, gradient 66-100 left to right.

No filters were used.

If you don’t know what quick masks etc. are, please refer to the manual

cheers,

Filip
