As an owner of photoshop x-ray, learning the basic x-ray affect can be a bit frustrating in the beginning. Only a few photosop x-ray users can put together stunning effects of x-ray imagery. Some owners use specialize x-ray equipment to create the beautiful and stunning art of x-ray photoshop.

We all know most people don't have access to special x-ray equipment that we can all get our hands on. There is information out there to make beautiful x-ray images without the special and expensive equipment. There's a way to take apart everyday ordinary electronics appliances from home.

The first step in getting your project going, you'll need your appliance or electronic ready for photo shots and dissembling. Be reminded that when taking apart these objects you'll probably be unable to use it again, so make sure it's an object you no longer need. This process will be used for the layering process in the software.

Getting ready for this type of effect, you'll need an appliance or electronic for you photo layout upload . Pick up any electronic or appliance and take it apart, remember you'll probably never be able to use it again. This is essential to obtain the Photoshop x-ray effect.

After that task is finished, now you can prepare for the image layering feature of you adobe software. You'll want to prepare for your image layout dimension settings also. Now for your uploaded images you'll want to set the image resolution the same as your digital camera.

When that task is done, get ready to make an x-ray image. Next you'll want to set your uploaded image with the proper dimension. You'll want to make resolution the same as your digital camera, just to make sure your photos have the best image quality.

For the next phase, we need to decide the x-ray style images for our photo layout. Airport scanners and medical x-ray machine are the more standard images you can use for the effect. The airport scanner, to me is a better look for the layout, simply because of the color detail of the x-ray image.

Next step, when importing the first layer of your device you'll need to start from the back of your device to the very front. This is accentual for the x-ray layering feature for you adobe software. Other files such as jpg can be saved to the xmp file.

OK, You've imported your file, afterwords you'll see smart object in the layer click on the icon. When you have clicked on the icon, you'll have an option of changing the setting. When you have returned to photoshop the original file format will stay the same.

For your layout, you'll want to cut the image from the background. When doing so create a mask, doing this will prevent the destruction of the pixels. In order to make a mask create a group import of your images and then give it a new name.

When cutting out an import go to the layer icon of your image device, it is recommend to create a skeleton layout. The word (Group 1) will appear, in this final example you'll need to layer you x-ray images. For each of your layouts you'll need to make every image light as you place them together, repeat until in the group order until you are done.
