Here's another Instant techniques I've played around with...
1. File > New (Any Size, I used 500.250 px), Any background,
2. Choose a rather small-sized Soft Edges brush. (I used 21px),
3. Open up Brushes Pallete,
4. You can uncheck the Shape Dynamics it doesn't matter,
5. Scattering, Scatter 280% Control Off. Leave the others at default,
6. Texture Now this is up to you, pick any pattern that suits you the most. I picked the default Bubble Pattern.
7. Ok back to the document, Create a New Layer
8. Paint using your newly created brush using black as Foreground color, OMG Bulletholes! [saywhat]
9. Ain't finished yet, duplicate your current layer
10. Invert it (Ctrl + I)
11. Nudge the inverted layer 1 px down and 1 px right (depending on your lightsource)
12. Load Layer 1's transparency (Ctrl + click Layer 1)
13. Select Layer 1 Copy (The Inverted Layer) and press Delete
14. Bulletholes!! [saywhat]
15. Optional: Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask both layers, play around with the settings [righton]
PS: Of course, play around with the brush settings and textures.. [righton]
Here's a picture link:Instant Bulletholes
... there I was, in the ute, negotiating the wet, slippery track during some heavy rain ... when up pops a rabbit from behind a bush [shocked] .... geesh, a blokes lucky to be alive [bustagut] [bustagut]
to create realistic bulletholes assuming that so many bulletholes indicates the use of an automatic weapon...if firing in short bursts....(the way you were trained namvet) the first round strikes where you aim and it is natural for the subsequent rounds to strike up and to the right...
The bolt assembly twists forward and to the right as it cycles live rounds through the system! Thus causing the muzzle of your weapon to rise to the right!!!
