Looking Through a Glass

Tutorial

7. Give the glass a green tint.

If you want to tint the glass, duplicate its layer by choosing Layer > Duplicate Layer. In the Layers palette, select the

Lock transparent pixels icon, then fill the object with the color you like. Set the layer blending mode to Overlay and

reduce the opacity until it looks realistic.

8. Distort the glass.

In the Layers palette, select the background layer, and choose Filter > Distort > Glass. Under Texture select Load

Texture, and open the texture you prepared in step 3. Do not start with a selection! Scaling must be 100 percent;

try distortion and smoothness until you like the result. Also see if Invert might do better. Additionally you can load

the object as a selection on the background layer and experiment with the Displace-filter.
