In this free Photoshop tutorial, we'll learn how to make a ghostly text effect with an ethereal aura around it. This is easy to achieve and makes a great effect for Halloween or horror related graphics. The example presented here applies the effect to text, but it works just as well with any kind of clip art style object. Here's the finished product of what we'll learn to do with Photoshop in this tutorial:

The objective with this tutorial is to be more comfortable using the pen tool, once you can master this, you can create powerful drawings with ease, so let's get started. Start by creating a path for casper's face using pen tool.

In this tutorial I will show you how to create a nice ghost using Adobe Photoshop mixing an image created in Cinema 4D with some photos. The process is easy and I will also show you how to use the Cloth feature in Cinema 4D.

Open up the picture of the person you want to convert to a ghost and the picture of the place too. We will first make the model spooky and then extract his picture. So first of all we have to convert the picture to Black/White

Here I used Cinema 4D to create the base for the ghost. Cinema 4D has a fantastic Cloth engine that allows us to create clothes very easily. Basically I created the cloth and render one frame that I thought was the best for what I wanted.

Creating ghostly effects, you will need to find 2 images you like (a creepy hallway of some sort and a shilhouette image) or you can use the ones i provided you with in the tutorial. Let's Begin.

Photographs of ghosts are usually very grainy and unsaturated. Ghosts tend to be overexposed and translucent with their transparency differing depending on the brightness of the object it is in front of, however, that is only a stereotype and there is no evidence of what a ghost should look like. Photographs of ghosts seem to appear most haunting when they the picture of the ghost wasn't taken deliberately; perhaps with someone in the photograph smiling at the camera and unaware of the ghost.

1. Start with a background color you want to use, and paste in the face you want to use with your image.

Title: Make ghost images and blend snapshots Through this step-by-step guide you can change an actual figure to a ghost like appearance and make a backdrop for it too.In this tutorial we will use Pen, Marquee tools and other effects.

I'm a fan of horror films, but I admit I'm a bit shallow in that I usually just watch them for the special effects. I'm usually sitting there thinking to myself, "I wonder how they did that". So while playing around in Photoshop one night, I came up with this little technique for taking a living, breathing person and making them appear more like a ghost, which is why I called it"ghosting an image". It's a simple effect with only a few steps involved and they're easy to do.
