0 Mouldy Punk Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 they probably made a layer that fuzzed everything out, then made holes in it for the clear bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Sam Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Easy. Make a screenshot, duplicate the layer. Blur and greyscale the top one, apply an outside stroke, and a drop shadow. Cut out of it as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mxp Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 in photoshop there are many photo filters that can give that result ... to achieve the same look try this: 1. get a base image (screenshot in this case) 2. make a new layer (with medium gray color) 3. set opacity of new layer to 40% 4. go to filters and apply a blur filter to new layer 5. select the new blured layer 6. use the shape tool to make a selection on the bluerd layer 7. press delete the selection made 8. repeat step 6-8 until you have made all the cutouts that you need 9. add text to describe the layer beneath 10. save as jpeg and post here :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Vice Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 select the pieces of the image you do not want fuzzed, then invert the selection do a gaussian blur and pile on drop down and inner glow effects on the ring edges. Place text and markers and your finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to make a DUPLICATE LAYER, and a grey layer (opacity 40%) set the origianl to hidden, then merge visible. THEN blur. :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
