Inset Load the object or image you want to apply the inset on a new layer(layer 1). | |
Load a selection around the image or object then expand the selection by 3 pixels. Do not lose this selection. | |
With the selection still loaded, go the layer directly below the current layer(layer 1)
and click on the button and make a new layer(layer 2)
between them. Go to the new layer(layer 2) and fill the selection with black. | |
Deselect and then apply
FILTER>BLUR>GUASSIAN BLUR. The amount of blur I used for this tutorial is
1.9 but you can apply your own settings and experiment. Displace the contents of the layer by 1 pixel up and 1 pixel right | |
To produce the highlight of the inset on the lower left section,
make a duplicate
of layer 2 and inverse the color of the contents
of the layer 2 copy.
Displace the the contents of
layer 2 copy 4 pixels down and 4 pixels left. The layer with the blurred black image should be on the top of the layer white the blurred white image. Switch the layer positions if its not right. •Download the PSD file used in this tutorial |
