Xray A Photo

Your photographs can resemble X-rays taken at a doctor's office.


A photograph with an X-ray effect resembles the X-rays a radiologist makes in a doctor's office. However, giving a photograph the X-ray effect simply requires a photo-editing program and a special filter with the ability to turn an existing photograph into one that looks like an X-ray. Some cameras take photographs with an X-ray filter so that no editing is needed. However, with the right software, you can give any photograph, old or new, the appearance of an X-ray.


Instructions Adjustments> Desaturate.


5. Select either the X-ray filter or a similar filter. Photoshop for example, does not have a direct X-ray filter. To achieve a photo with an X-ray effect, use the Glowing Edges filter. In Photoshop, select Filter> Stylize> Glowing Edges in the main menu.


6. Adjust the effect of the glowing edges using the adjustment levels that appear on the right side when the filter is applied to your photograph. Set the smoothness level between 2 and 3 to have a more detailed X-ray look-alike photograph. Save your work.


7. Make any adjustments to your photo if it still doesn't look right. Adjust the levels and colors, or even give it a blue-green or gray tint. It might not look perfect, but your photograph should now have an X-ray effect and resemble a real X-ray.
