The world through a broken vase - part II

Here we are, part II of this post where I showed you how to make the crack in the vase. You'll find there the pictures we work with too.

After you finished part I open the second picture. To put it into your current project make sure you have the move tool select, click on the image and drag it into your project.

Position it over the vase. Load the last saved selection. With the second photo layer active press the Add layer mask icon. Now click on the link between photo and layer mask
and then select only the photo layer so you can now move your photo where you consider it’s ok in the selection.


You can notice that your photo is less then the selection. Go to the original photo and select the water. Then copy it and paste into the project. You can use the Transform tool to make it as big as the selection. And then apply the same step to put “the water” into selection. Or you can select just the bottom of your image with Rectangular marquee tool ant then transform it.



Based on the selection you already have make a new one, just a little smaller, And just for the right side of the selection.

I looked at the picture form the lest side and that’s how I imagine the thickness off the vase. If you see it otherwise make it in your way :)

I took this picture to fill the selection ant make my vase look like it was made by clay. Use the same steps with layer mask here too.


Play around with that crack until you make something you like. :)

Now I’ll do the water that is draining off the vase. Make a selection that looks something like this:

Save selection. I tried to do a realistic water for many times. Most realistic was when I did like this : Marge down all the layers.(hold down Ctrl key and select each layer then Ctrl+ E.
Duplicate the new layer. Ctrl + Transform – flip vertical. Lower the opacity so you can see where to put it so that the water will be were you made the last selection.

Load the last saved selection.

Let only this piece of selection and put it in a new layer so you can apply layer styles to it. I put this ones:



That’s it :)
I hope you liked it !
