I’m working on an image looking down on some images of objects I’ve positioned in a box. I want to get the effect of a thin plastic film (like cling-film) stretched over the top of the box. I’ve tried the controls in Filter>Artistic>Plastic Wrap, but it always "shrink-wraps" the contents. I’d like a plastic cover stretched across without it touching the contents of the box.

Any ideas, anyone? Help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Phil

Scan some "Plastic Wrap" on something and see what you actually get… then draw it.

I think it is Auto FX Dream Suite 1 that has a plastic wrap filter that is quite impressive. http://www.autofx.com

I’m still pretty much an amateur, but I experimented with putting a layer over an object, filling it with a light grayish blue, adding some monochromatic gaussian noise, motion blue at an angle, fiddled with some lighting effects filters then applied the plastic filter to that layer. Reduce the opacity and presto – it looks like stretched plastic wrap.
