Gigatronix Pete Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hi gang I have a connector png (attached) which i want to make look wet! I have a water splash photo (also attached) which i can put on top of it with a soft light blend mode & it looks ok. But how do make it so that the water effect is JUST on the connector? If i drag it into the connector png (on the layers panel) it show in the whole square of the png rather than just the connector! I could draw all around the connector & use it as a mask but is there an easier way? Cheers Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that using the selection brush to create a mask for the connector is much quicker, this mask can then be moved from the connecter pixel layer to the water image layer - then with Lock Children ticked on the context toolbar you can move and scale the water layer until you're happy with the effect. I've attached a quick screen recording showing my workflow, I hope this helps! 2019-10-23 16-42-18.mp4 Gigatronix Pete 1 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.
