Cracks |

|
Open
an image for applying the cracks to. |
|
Double click the Lasso Tool on the tool bar to select
the Tool and to bring up the Lasso Options. Make sure Anti-Aliased is Unchecked
and feather is set to 0. This is so we know it will be nice and sharp
and no smoothing or soft edges.
|

|
Make a New
Layer. On the image now, jiggle the mouse and make a crack of some sort with
the lasso. You’ll need to start at one point and then eventually
return to that same point (like shown). This takes a little artistic
skill from you to make a really cool one. So if you don’t like the
first try, then hit undo.
|
|
After you have
made a crack design, fill it with 100% white by using the paint brush
or going to Edit>Fill and choosing White.
|
|
Offset
the selection one pixel up and then to the left one pixel using the
arrow keys on the keyboard. |
|
Fill
the selection with Dark Gray. Now choose "Hard Light" from the
layers pop down menu.

You can Deselect it now by going to Select>Deselect.
|
|
To
add the hollow look, go to Layer>Effects>Inner Shadow. If
you don’t want this look, then fill with Black instead of Dark Gray
on step 6.
|
|
This next step we will be adding some details to the cracks. Zoom
into an area. Paint some Highlights above the crack and a dark
shadow below the crack like I have shown, this makes it looked
popped out a little. You will need to be
creative and artistic, try and play around a little bit.
