Infrared Night Vision Effect
Tutorial in Advanced, Effects, Goodies, In Photos
The infrared vision is very commonly used in wars, when soldiers have to find the enemy’s spot and the visibility is poor. Let’s recreate the effect.
Open the image.
Go to ((Image))-((Adjustments))-((Desaturate)).
Open a new document (10×10px and transparent background).
Press D to reset the colors to black and white.
Zoom in on the image to the highest level.
Select ((Pencil Tool)), 2px, and draw a horizontal line in the superior part of the document.
Then save the Pattern. ((Edit))-((Define Pattern)), name it, and save it.
Close the document.
Go back to the original layer.
Create a ((New Layer)) and fill it in with black.
Reduce the ((Fill)) to 0%.
Double click the layer to go to ((Blending Options)).
((Color Overlay)).
Save the changes.
Create a ((New Layer)) and fill it in with white.
Reduce the ((Fill)) to 0%.
Double click the layer again to go to ((Blending Options)).
((Pattern Overlay)). Select the Pattern you have saved.
Now right click the layer’s name and choose “Convert to Smart Object”.
Right click and select ((Rasterize Layer)).
To this layer, apply a soft blur effect. ((Filter))-((Blur))-((Gaussean Blur)).
Change the layer style to ((Soft Light)) and reduce the ((opacity)) between 50 and 70%.
Go back to ((Blending Options)).
((Outer Glow)).
Create a ((New Layer)).
With ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)), create an oval, as shown in the image below. Then invert the selection. ((Select))-((Inverse)).
Fill it in with black.
Now apply ((Filter))-((Distort))-((Wave)).
Once you save the changes, this will be your partial result.
Apply ((Filter))-((Noise))-((Add Noise)).
Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J).
Finally, go to the original image and apply. ((Filter))-((Noise))-((Add Noise)).
I hope you liked the result as much as I did.
