Wedding Glasses

05/13/2002

On today's show, I'll show you how to make a wedding wine glass that features the happy couple. You need an image of the couple and an image of the wine glass. Here's how it's done.

1. Choose a Feather radius for the Lasso selection tool. The radius should be high enough to give you a very soft edge.

2. Select the couple and copy them over to the image of a wine glass.

3. Place them in position.

4. With a very soft-edged Eraser, touch up any parts of the layer with the couple that might be overlapping the edge of the wine glass.

5. Double-click the layer of the couple to bring up the Layer Style dialog box.

6. At the bottom of the Blending Options: Default section you will find Blend If.

7. Move the highlight (white) sliders for the Underlying Layer over to expose any highlights that might be on the wineglass. Pressing the Option button (Alt on a PC) allows you to separate the slider to add a sot edge to the transition.
