Though I have previous experience with Photoshop, it is limited to creating posters for academic projects. \u00a0These projects have left little room for independent creativity. Therefore, I found myself searching YouTube for inspiration. I came across multiple tutorials on an effect called the <em>Disintegration Effect.<\/em> The effect is powerful and I believe it to be a perfect place to start for a more serious, moving photo.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 640px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tutorialsforphotoshop.com\/disintegration-effect-photoshop-tutorial\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tutorialsforphotoshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/disintegration-effect-photoshop-tutorial-youtube-thumbnail-640x330.jpg?resize=640%2C330\" alt=\"Photo From Tutorials 4 PhotoShop\" width=\"640\" height=\"330\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Photo From Tutorials 4 PhotoShop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The word <strong>disintegrate<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/disintegrate\">means to separate into parts or lose intactness or solidness; breakup; deteriorate.<\/a>\u00a0In my personal opinion, the tool looks best when applied to a single person. Both a head or full body shot will work perfectly well. \u00a0I have attached two tutorials I&#8217;ve found very helpful. Personally, I learn best by trial and error while working at my own pace. Therefore, I used the step by step written directions more than the YouTube tutorial. Often, when learning something for the very first time, I find myself falling behind the videos or spending far too much time pausing and rewinding the clips. Therefore, the instructions with pictures worked better with my learning preference. \u00a0Both links are listed below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QnpDy8zlmv8\">YouTube Video\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/design.tutsplus.com\/tutorials\/create-a-powerful-human-disintegration-effect-in-photoshop--psd-14568\">Written and Photo Instructions<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I won&#8217;t take you through a step by step procedure of how to master the effect of disintegration. However, I will highlight\u00a0a few \u00a0of my favorite tools I discovered when attempting to\u00a0achieve\u00a0the effect. The tools listed\u00a0were taken from both tutorials and do not all need to be used.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eraser tool with the &#8220;Splatters&#8221; shape. It is important to adjust the spacing of the splatters to ensure a softer look. This tool cuts out portions of your subject, leaving \u00a0the background visible.<\/li>\n<li>Liquefy is a filter that allows you to move the selected area of the picture as if it was molten lava or clay.<\/li>\n<li>The particle brush, when matching the color of the background, can be used to erase portions of the subject.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been struggling to determine exactly what I want my Photoshop assignment to focus on.
