Transparent, but not…
I have never seen transparent computer screens before today… and now I think I am obsessed! They aren’t really transparent, they are a trick you can do with your computer background. It is a easy-to-do but cool photography trick!
You must check out the following “transparent” computers… Enjoy!!
How do you make a transparent computer background?
Step 1 – With a tripod take a picture of your desk without the computer on it.
Step 2 – Take a picture with the computer on the desk.
Step 3– Open both pictures in Photoshop and paste one of the pictures over the other as a new layer.
Step 4 -Make a selection of the area of the computer desktop and copy it from the image that has no computer.
Step 5- The image might be skewed due to screen positioning. Use the free transform function and drag all corners of the selection to match the picture canvas.
Step 6- Use this image as the desktop in the computer.
Step 7 -With camera still in position, take a picture and the illusion will be created.
Not too complicated… I am just afraid I would get distracted! But cool, huh?
