Adding bubbles to your photos can create a whimsical and enchanting effect, perfect for creating magical and dreamy images. So let’s dive right in and learn how to create stunning bubbles in your photos!
First, open your photo in Photoshop or PSE. Make sure you have your image ready to go before starting the process of adding bubbles. Once your photo is open, it’s time to start creating your bubbles!
Start by selecting the Elliptical Marquee Tool from the toolbar. This tool will allow you to create a circular selection for your bubble. Click and drag to create a circular selection on your image where you want the bubble to be placed. Make sure to hold down the Shift key while creating your selection to make a perfect circle.
Once you have created your circular selection, go to Edit and then Fill. In the Fill dialog box, choose Pattern from the Contents dropdown menu. Select the Bubble pattern from the list and click OK. This will fill your circular selection with a bubble pattern, creating the base of your bubble.
Next, we want to add a bit of dimension to our bubble to make it look more realistic. To do this, go to Filter, Distort, and then Ripple. In the Ripple dialog box, adjust the settings to create a subtle ripple effect on your bubble. Play around with the settings until you achieve the desired look for your bubble.
Now we want to add some transparency to our bubble to make it look more translucent. To do this, select the circular selection of your bubble, and go to Image, Adjustments, and then Levels. In the Levels dialog box, adjust the sliders to increase the transparency of your bubble. This will give your bubble a more ethereal look.
Once you are happy with the transparency of your bubble, it’s time to add some shine and highlights to make it look more realistic. Select the Dodge Tool from the toolbar and choose a soft brush with a low opacity. Brush over the edges of your bubble to create highlights and shine, giving it a more three-dimensional look.
Finally, we want to add some reflections to our bubble to make it look even more realistic. Create a new layer above your bubble layer and set the blending mode to Overlay. Using a soft brush, paint white on the top part of the bubble to create a reflection effect. Lower the opacity of the layer to blend it with the bubble.
And there you have it! You have successfully added bubbles to your photo using Photoshop and PSE by following this simple tutorial by Summerana. With a few simple steps, you can create magical and enchanting images that will captivate your viewers.
