I have photoshop CS2 and have finaly gotten around to editing all my photos from the last month, while editing a photo I wanted to add a slighht mist to the photograph but could not quite figure out how to get it to look good if anyone has any idea as to how to do this that would be great.
Thankx.

Brad beat me to the knee-jerk reaction, so I guess I have to be more "serious"...
I think it really depends on the photo. Is it a scenic? a portrait? What's the background like? Where do you want the mist? We'll have to see it, I think. If you have a place to post images, do so and link here....please. (Or just spend the $25 and go wild!) |

Ok, I'll have a stab at it. I have never tried this before, but this is how I imagine it could possibly work.
On a new layer, use the airbrush on low opacity and "spraypaint" the layer with very light grey, nearly white.
Cross your fingers, then fade the layer opacity until it (hopefully) resembles fog.
Let me know if this actually works, ok? |

I use **Filter, Render, Clouds....work with it on a layer. You may have to fool with the opacity and other elements but with a little work it if very good.

That works quite well and it's really easy, too.
Thanks! |

Here is a sample using Filter, Render, Clouds. This is a 10 second attempt and you can do waaaayyyyyyy better with a little time!

Another Method--
(Google Search)
In the real world of commercial photography fog is often a desired element. That's why they make fog machines. In addition, some landscapes can be enhanced by adding fog, overall or just in spots.
The biggest problem in creating fog is to create "depth cuing". As we see further away the fog becomes denser. Here is a very easy technique to master.
1. Open your image. Using the Layer Menu Box (Window, Show Layer) create a duplicate layer.
2. Now go to the bottom of the Tool Menu and select white as the foreground color.
3. Use the Gradient Tool from the Tool Menu. Choose foreground to transparent - the second box which is shown when you click on the Gradient down arrow on the top left of the page. Click on something in the distance. Drag the tool from back to front to produce a clear area in the foreground. Choose your degree of transparency. Use Normal as your mixing choice on the duplicate layer. Flatten and there it is. Save as a tiff or JPEG.
4. For greater realism you can create a duplicate layer and use the dodge and burn lesson to create darker and lighter areas in the fog (patchy fog). The fog can then be swirled to simulate smoke. But that's another lesson.
Again, this lesson has many other applications other than creating fog. Experiment and have fun. |
