I have this water polo scene that I made in Poser and I would like to do some postwork painting droplets of water on the players' skins for realism. Any one knows how to go about it, please? Remember I'm going after a close-up "photographic effect" and not a mere simulation. I'm using Photoshop 7.0

Using no tutorilas, I have discovered a way of making a wet look as well as droplets of fluids:

Find which area's of your picture (ie light colored area's). Using the magic wand, select the high area's, edit > Copy, then open a new document with a transpearent backgound, then paste.

Now, select the highest of these using the magic wand, you may have to use Select > All, then Edit > Copy Edit Paste to get all the highlights individually.

Once you have then use the Filter > Artistic > Plastic Wrap.

You may have to play with the adjustment. You can also adjust selected area's adjusting the bightness, and contrast as well as color balance before and after applying the plastic wrap.

urm you can paste this into the same document - it more often than not makes a new layer - or paste into an alpha channel - the filter is applied to the selected layer.. or channel - and can be chosen to have blening options modes if it's a new layer.. etc etc..

Thanks guys, I do appreciate your help. In the past three days I've been fiddling with drop-tutorials and techniques until I couldn't see what was on the screen anymore. I'm affraid that all things taken into consideration what I'm after might require a most drastic approach; say Eye Candy for example. Because, as you can see in the attached pic, we are not dealing with just a few drops here and there but with a whole bunch and with drips and splatters etc etc. Trouble is Eye Candy is costing an arm and a leg... LOL. Well... back to my drops now...

weeeeell, if it only cost "two arms" instead of a "leg", you'd be covered ;)

at least according to your pic ;)
