Anyone has any idea how to create thermal vision from a picture



Without having to draw the objects myself

I'll bet you could achieve that pretty easily in photoshop by isolating the figure you want to apply the effect to and applying inner glow & outer glow layer styles...

neon glow filter might work too...

autotrace the figure in illustrator, then drop them back into PS over the main image and add a few glow layers effects

That's interesting, except that while it simulates the look, it isn't controllable to make it look realistic (ie. red where hot spots would actually be).

But it's definately half way there. It was something like that i was looking for. Cheers

did you catch Alastairs comment following the tutorial?

Thank you! this is a really simple and easy solution. It is also possible to modify the gradient map to look more like the thermal imaging camera colour range. Instead of the eight colours in the default transparent rainbow gradient try these: Colour 1 R254 G253 B 232 / 2. R254 G 240 B 83 / 3.R247 G139 B27 / 4. R231 G72 B19 / 5. R210 G32 B109 / 6. R191 G6 B 146 / 7. R53 G 1 B 145 / 8. R 1 G 0 B 75. This gives a more yellow orange red magenta to blue spectrum. Not as beautifully simple as your original but once the gradient is saved it is the same process.

might help

Thanks mate. I figured it was easier to lasso the people in the picture and use various glow effects. Works great

For the Win!
