Does anyone know how to go about making an xray image all in photoshop? Or has anyone seen a tutorial? I found images online but they are not nearly as big as I need them. 8 1/2 by 11 300dpi! So we are talking immense. Any help greatly appreciated.

Have you tried searching for a really really big picture of a plain skeleton and just applying some x-ray type effects to it? You could just give it a black background and change the skeleton color. Then you could make a vector outline of the body around it and fill it in.  
Don’t know if that’s what your lookin for, but it’s all I can come up with at the moment.

</div>

if anyone has a solution to this i’d be glad to know first…  
thing is since an xray shows bones & flesh and skin you need all three components, blend them to one tone of colors (dark blue/white) and then work with transparencies I guess…

here you go, this is an x-ray effect within PS without the need for 3rd party filters.

1 - convert pic to greyscale

2 - invert pic  
(ctrl+I, or go to image/adjustments/invert)

now you have a x-ray effect!

hope this helps…

if it weren’t for the 100% photoshop, i figured out how you can get the x-ray effect. the only problem is you get it on photopaper… so it’s a “real” picture…  
heres an example of what you can do, post if you’re interested.  
when i scan it in, the example will be at the site below.

hmm, seems to have looked better on the photo paper… oh well…

I used a 3D Studio Max skeleton model, some organs I found laying around (te he he), and muscles.

It’s not perfect yet (the leg and arm muscles have to be moved into place) and maybe adjust saturation and hue a bit. Oh, and he needs an esophagus…LOL

If you think you can finish it let me know I’ll tell you where to download to .psd.

Hope you have a broadband connection…IT’S 10MB!!!:stunned:

:edit:  
On second thought, I could just post the skeleton and tell you where I give the link to the muscles I found…???..Either way…

3d-iva,

No just the skeleton was done in 3ds…The rest was “pieced together” and done in PhotoShop…
