Creating a Cinemagraph in Photoshop
Offered By: LinkedIn Learning
Course Description
Overview
Learn to use Photoshop to create cinemagraphs—still images that have moving components.
Put your stills into motion with cinemagraphs. A cinemagraph is a still image that contains a trace of subtle motion: wisps of hair in the breeze, water running through a stream, or a dog's tail wagging.
You can use numerous tools for creating cinemagraphs, and one of the best is Photoshop. With Photoshop's masking, compositing, and video features, you can combine the layers of a still image with video that makes a cinemagraph come to life. Photographer, author, and educator Seán Duggan shows you how.
