Lesson#2-Realistic Flag

Lesson#2-Realistic Flag

I'll teach you a simple and fairly realistic technique of the flag in Photoshop.
First find the texture of fabric, which will be displayed our flag.
In this embodiment, this silk.

I - love the texture of silk, so he is going to use it. Open any fabric texture in Photoshop.

 Then desaturate it by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + U. We need a texture black and white.

Install a higher contrast by pressing CTRL + L, and indulge in the settings. It should look something like the picture. Then use a filter Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur with a setting 3.5 - 5.

 In this file, we need to have only one layer (remove the excess layers, if you have them)
Then, save the black-and-white contrast flag map named in the format psd. Next, press CTRL + Z, not to return to the contrasting flag.

 

I will use the Dutch flag

 Create a new layer above the discolored flag. There we can copy the flag of any country, or to draw it. Change the blending options for multiplication (MULTIPLY), and reduce the opacity.

  This flag is realistic enough, but it is not twisted, as the fabric itself, so we have to bend it.
Click on the layer with the picture of the flag (not its texture), and then select Filter> Distort> Offset (Filter> Distort> Displace). Make the settings as shown in the picture, but the vertical scale and horizontal scale you can zoom to a greater distortion or decrease - for less. Remember the file PSD, which we have done in the past? He will be our displacement map.
