hey everybody you might have seen this
on my Instagram I just posted this on
Facebook and Instagram yesterday I just
wanted to do a quick tip on how I got
this chromatic aberration in Photoshop
there's a real quick way of doing it so
let's just start from scratch here so
this is what I got from cinema 4d this
is what my renderer spit out it's nice
but I want to add a little bit more
drama and more interest so I'm gonna add
a levels adjustment bring my brights up
a little bit I'm just gonna bake this
down using ctrl alt shift E and that
makes a new layer that bakes everything
down so then I'm gonna take this and go
into filter 3d generate normal map and
what this will do is open up this dialog
over here to generate a normal map and
you might want to play around with these
settings a little bit blur detail it's
creating kind of this chromatic
aberration look but let's see where we
can take this so I'm actually gonna turn
down my blur bring up my detail scale
I think that looks pretty good I'm gonna
hit okay and then what you want to do is
set your blend mode to soft light look
at that there you have a wonderful
chromatic aberration look now what I did
was so this adds this kind of blue tint
to the image if you don't want that you
can add a curves adjustment hold down
alt and you click on curves adjustment
and then you click on use previous layer
to create clipping mask then you hit OK
and it made that a clipping mask now I
would go into the blue channel I'm just
gonna turn down the blue and you can see
it's leaving the green and the pink
pinkish red and that's what I want so
I'm just going to go to go back to this
layer and turn down the opacity a little
bit I don't want the effect to be that
strong so I'm gonna go down to maybe say
45% and that looks great so that was it
that was just a quick way to get
chromatic aberration in Photoshop for
your 3d images thanks for watching
