Photoshop Tutorial : How To Make A Displacement Flag to your Photo

Making a displacement map to your photos is one of the most icredible Techs you could apply on  

          PHOTOSHOP

    so This is the final answer and it could be different as you would see in the end of the Post

 It is good beleive  me 

        So lets Start :

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Step 1 :

            Open your photo 

  And your Country Flag

  together in one file But be sure that the flag layer is above the the photo

    Hide the Flag Layer then work with your photo

          first of all

               you are going to desaturate your photo colors if its colored 

          from    Image  >>  Adjustments  >> Desaturate

                After that we are going to make the white color whiter and also the black 

                     color

                     so from       Image  >>>  Adjustment  >>>  Levels

                 like that

   and then pull the arrow in the right to left and the same to the left arrow

           that will make colors more tense 

    After that duplicate that layer and from Filter >>> Blur >>> Gaissian Blur 

             like that

  Then OK and save that as MAP.PSD

          Then delete that blured photo

   Or you might not duplicate it and blur it directly and after saving it you could 

         CTRL+ALT+Z

               to recover the  original desaturated photo

   It will Be like that

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Step 2 :

            Now show the Flag Photo and do the following

         From Filter >>> Distort >>> Displace 

  It will Show  a menu you can play with the Numbers But it really doesnt matter 

        Press OK  , then it will show a Window where you can open the Map File that you

            just 

                 saved  from .

  Select it and Press Open  

   The  Result Will be like that 

       I dont know , Maybe you just leave it like that 

               Or you could change the flag layer Blend Mode into Darken

         It will be like that

    Changing its Modes is very helpfull here 

              It gives you lots of perfect results  like that when I changed the Mode to

                      Color Burn

    Or Linear Burn >> it will make it tense than Darken

    But we can benifit from all of these by adding Depth of Field 

             I will Show you 

    First duplicate the two layer the flag  and the photo 

   After Hiding the new two images  merge the old two layers 

            select the old two layers then >>>>Right Click >> Merge Layers .

   Remember that the old flag layer is in Color Burn blend mode . ok!!

              Now change the new flag layer mode to Linear Burn 

    then select the flag and the photo layer and merge them 

   Now we have two layer similar to each other

           But the lower level was in Color Burn mode 

       And the other was in Linear Burn 

              but Not anymore Because we merged them .

          Now Grab the eraser 

      then erase over the face in the upper layer which was in Linear Burn

    To be that 

         And here Our Final Result

                   maybe you can add some effects as you like 

     Thank you
