Create
a new file. I used 150x150 for
this
example. First off fill your background layer with BLACK. Go to
the CHANNELS palette Create a new channel.
(do not create any new layers yet) Create a rectangle selection with width a little bit
longer than you want your actual tape to be. Fill it with
white. Apply Mezzotint filter (FILTER>PIXELATE>MEZZOTINT) with
value of Fine Dots, apply this three times. |
 |
Now
apply FILTER>NOISE>DUST AND SCRATCHES. Play with values until you get no
dots inside the white area (I had 7 and 156 for values). |
|
Next
Make a
rectangular selection like the one to the left. |
 |
Inverse selection
(Ctrl + Shift + I) and clear the area. |
 |
Rotate the
scotch tape as you wish SELECT>TRANSFORM SELECTION |
 |
Now, load
the selection for the current channel, to do this Ctrl + Click on the
channel. Next, you need to expand the selection, go to
SELECT>MODIFY>EXPAND and choose 1. Create a new channel
again and fill the selection with white. Apply the
FILTER>PIXELATE>MEZZOTINT filter with the value of Coarse Dots. These
will
be our air bubbles. Now, Blur the image go to FILTER>BLUR>GAUSSIAN BLUR
with a value of 0.4 |
 |
Deselect
your current selection (CTRL+D) NOW, Load the selection from the first channel
you created (Alpha 01 if you didn't rename it). Now go to the layers palette
and create a new Layer and fill it with
white. Set opacity to 17-22, whatever looks best to you and change the
blending mode to Screen. |
 |
Go
back to the CHANNELS palette and Load the selection from channel with
bubbles (ALPHA 2) by CTRL+CLICKING ON IT, inverse it (SELECT>INVERSE) and intersect it with
selection of channel with scotch tape (ALPHA 1) To intersect it you need
to hold down CTRL+ALT+SHIFT and click on the ALPHA 1 channel, this
combines the two selections |
 |
Go
back to the LAYERS palette and create new
layer, fill selection with white. Set layer opacity to 12 and mode to
Screen.
