Looking for a PIP effect

Post by sotherls »

I am curious if anyone has come up with a script or technique which resembles something like this?

I really like the effect and would like to recreate it in PaintShop Pro.

Thanks

Nope, the user selected the bottle, promoted the selection to new layer, deselected the selection and blurred the background.

Joelle, this is a phone app. So I'm guessing that look is done automatically and there was no actual bottle in the original image.

Sotherls do you know which app this image comes from?

Anyway, I don't know of any scripts for this. But you might look at tutorials that place images inside of cups and bottles. Technically the image in the bottle doesn't look distorted at all. So it could be a simple masking procedure. The bottle could either be real or a graphic. If that's the case then essentially you duplicate the layer, shrink the new layer to fit inside your bottle. Overlay the bottom on yet another layer, use selections, erasers, or masks to cut off any excess image that's outside the bottle. And then use Gaussian blur on the background.

Looks like a 'simple' combination of using layers and selective adjustments to each layer. A script would be difficult due to the fact that each object would have to be custom edited.
