The first and foremost thing is to have the correct images. Alternatively, you can take your own photo. For these, you will need equipment such as a digital camera, a tripod, and a stool. You can wear any clothes. You also need a photo of sunglasses. Photoshop elements 9 and above will work fine. Below are 6 important steps that will show you exactly how to make an invisible man image using Photoshop.
1. Take the photo
With your digital camera mounted on a tripod, find a suitable location and take a photo. You can choose the posture you want; however, in this example, we will consider the use of images available online.
2. Copy and paste
After acquiring a suitable image, copy and paste it into Photoshop. Grab the move tools and check all the boxes that show the auto select layer and bounding box.
3. Hide your face and hands
After copying and pasting your photo in Photoshop, the next step is to hide the face. You should use the Add Layer Mask icon located at the bottom of your layers panel. Grab the brush tool and start hiding the face. You should use a soft brush for best results. Make sure the foreground is set to black before you start using your brush. In case you make a mistake, press X to undo and then paint to show parts of the layer.
4. Add the necklace
Since it is difficult to hide the face without touching the back neck, you should consider remaking the neck to get the correct hollow shirt image. The Lasso tool is useful at this point. Make a rough selection of the collar and then use your move tool to drag and drop the area onto the main image. You can reduce the opacity of the layer to 50 percent and then click the bounding box. Use your move tool to position your cape perfectly.
5. Insert the glasses and hat
Open a suitable image with glasses. Use the quick selection tools to zoom in and paint over the glasses. If your image has a background, hold down the Alt key and paint over the background. Use move to drag and drop the glasses perfectly on the main image. You can resize the glasses to fit perfectly in the transparent region of the face. Repeat the same procedure to add a hat.
6. Clone to finish
Once everything is perfectly positioned, create a new layer. Drag the layer to the top of the stack and then grab the clone tool. Set Sample all layers and then hold Alt to sample shoulders. Paint to clone the suit. Cloning helps to fix rough spots. After cloning, you will have successfully created an invisible man image using Photoshop.
