The other day I got really bored and started taking pictures. Then out of the blue I remembered Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak or something like that. You see, I’m also into video editing and wanted to try it on one of my videos but I thought that it would be too ambitious to do and I don’t have the appropriate software anyway. Then I thought, why not try it on pictures?
As a young kid, I’ve always been puzzled on how photo editors create special effects on pictures just like making clothes appear invisible. I thought of googling it and try to learn it somewhere in cyberspace. But even before I turned my pc on, I had an idea on how to do it…

Here’s what I did:
I took two pictures.. the second one with the kid on it:

and then I opened the pictures in Photoshop and dragged the second picture on top of the first. Just like this:
then I selected the jacket using the magnetic lasso tool.
After the jacket has been selected, I right clicked inside the selection and set the feathering to 1.
i clicked on the image tab >desaturate.
then I clicked on the filter tab>artistic>plastic wrap to give the jacket luster and a watery look.
clicked on the eraser tool and adjusted the brush size so that it covered the whole jacket.
Then click on it, making sure that the jacket does not totally disappear(set opacity to 50%). Part of the first layer was then revealed (the picture without the kid).
I deselected and flattened the 2 images by clicking on the little triangle on the upper right corner of the layers window.
I did the necessary adjustments (levels, brightness and contrast, etc.). Saved.
Now you can also have the invisibility shirt effect on your pictures. Hope this helps. :)
(p.s. feel free to comment if you have better ideas or if you want to add anything. tnx.)
