I’ve searched all over the place but can’t seem to find an effective filter that will simulate the effect of a laminated photo, the kind of effect that you get from a passport picture (don’t worry, I’m not going into the fake ID trade!).

I’ve tried experimenting with PhotoShop’s ‘plastic wrap’ filter, but I can’t seem to get the results I want.

Does anyone know of a filter that will do this, or is the a simple way to achieve this effect?

Thanks,

Dave.

Try stretching a piece of cling film over your scanner and scan that.

Always try and think laterally. Just because you have Photoshop doesn’t mean that there aren’t better ways of creating things sometimes 🙂

Oooo.. be very careful. Scanners produce fairly high temperatures on the glass face, and it would be most unjolly to melt the clingfilm onto the glass….

Best try it out on someone else’s scanner.

clingfilm can get hot for a short amount of time. Just use the type that’s microwave safe.
