Nifty, huh? Nice thing is, we can reuse this on the other images later!Īs we’re doing this quickly and efficiently, we’re not using 3D layers and lights to create shadows, so we need a quick effect to raise the photo(s) off the texture. In the Effect Controls panel (ECP), adjust the Brush Size to 50 px, Brush Hardness to 100%, and Spacing to 0%.
Probably 99.99% of digital images don’t come with a white edge, so we need to add one-but not in Photoshop on every image! Here’s a neat trick: With the snapshot layer selected, double-click on the Rectangle tool in the Toolbar to add a mask automatically around the layer. Press S on the keyboard to reveal its Scale property, and adjust it down to 20% (or close to the visual). Now, choose any one of your snapshot images and drag it into the Timeline above the texture image.
This creates and opens a new Composition at the size of your image-ours is 1280 pixels square with a Duration of 10:00 (Composition>Composition Settings). Select your chosen background texture image (ours is called “Paper 1280.psd”) and drag it onto the Create a New Composition icon at the bottom of the Project panel. Note: Though not imperative, ensuring your snapshot images are all the same pixel size will make this project a breeze to complete at the end. For our project, I’m importing three folders of photos of yours truly training in the Italian Alps before a big race in Spain and one paper-texture image I downloaded from iStockphoto to use as a background. In After Effects, double-click in the Project panel to bring up the Import File dialog, then locate and import the images you wish to use.
