\nSeveral weeks ago, we received a letter from a Roman catholic church in Italy. When I opened it, there was a round trip airplane ticket and a short note that said<\/p>\n

“Urgent. Please come help us.”<\/p>\n

So I flew to Italy. As soon as I arrived, an old man in a robe ushered me inside their church. Then he said that they urgently needed to have stained glass on two windows. As I often say to others, I told him that I just do Photoshop stuff on Mac computers. Then he crossed his arms, shutting his eyes, and stood still. I tried to talk to him, but he didn’t move an inch. I also tried to leave, but the front doors suddenly closed themselves. I said to myself “All right, fine!” I approached the window side and sat down. Then I pulled MacBook out of my backpack. In a matter of 5 minutes or less, I designed simple stained glass and embedded it in the windows in which they wanted it. And as soon as I completed the assignment, the front doors suddenly opened. Then I turned around. And the man was gone. Only his robe was there with five one hundred dollar bills on it and a note that said “Thank you.”<\/p>\n

The following tutorial shows steps to design stained glass, using Adobe Photoshop CS2. You could simply use a combination of Noise<\/strong> and Stained Glass<\/strong> to design stained glass. Rather, we want to tackle this assignment in a different approach for a better result. In the meantime, the photo image used in this tutorial comes from Webshots<\/a>.

  1. First, create a new layer in the Layer Palette<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Let’s make selections on the windows with Quick Mask<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. Fill the selections with sheer black.<\/li>\n
  4. Lock transparency, release the selections and apply Noise<\/strong> > Add Noise<\/strong>. Make sure Monochromatic<\/strong> is turned off.<\/li>\n
  5. Let’s apply Pixelate<\/strong> > Crystallize<\/strong> to enlarge colored particles.<\/li>\n
  6. Next, duplicate the stained glass layer in the Layer Palette.<\/li>\n
  7. We want to accentuate the glass edges. So apply Stylize<\/strong> > Find Edges<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  8. We want only colored lines. So let’s use Color Range<\/strong> to select white on the windows. After selecting it, press the delete key.<\/li>\n
  9. Use Adjustments<\/strong> > Hue\/Saturation<\/strong> to make the lines dark.<\/li>\n
  10. Switch to the stained glass layer. We want to change blend modes on this layer such that the background lattice can be seen. So change blend modes to Hard Light<\/strong> or Vivid Light<\/strong>\n<\/ol>\n
