I've been struggling with this photo, i've been working around in gfx for a little now and a chandelier company approached me. Now i working on this class fixture and my having a really hard time getting the glass to go transparent. The picture i started with was not the best but i was told to do my best i was wondering if there is something i can do.

The layers are the extra wires that i havent made into a folder yet for the most part ( I dont think i need to add the original image so i just put up the cut one )

This is as close to transparent as i've been able to get while keeping the glass detail

    I would turn them into Wavefront | Obj (in Photoshop) to get the correct basic shape then rendor them as glass (in Dimension) against a sky background... this gives you a psd that you can add finishing touches in Photoshop

    It would be helpful to post a section of the original - as a png with transparency

      The original image is too big to post in here

      It was over a white back drop and the lighting wasnt too great

      Is there something else i can post to maybe give you a better idea of what needs to be done?

      i just need the glass to be transparent.. most of the wires were removed and replaced because they were REALLY not straight. Meaning, my original layer has primarily glass.

      Hi

      I was thinking you may be able to try something with blend if or curves and masks in a smilar way we would generate a chrome effect but it is hard to tell with the checkerboard and low resolution. Hence the request for a full resolution section.

      To be honest though - I am doubtful that you will get a realistic effect and I would be tempted to look for another image or model it in a 3D app

        This is not a scripting question.

        [ discussion moved from Photoshop Scripting to Photoshop ]
