How to Create a Hologram Effect in Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is one of the deepest pieces of software in our industry and mastery of it is all but impossible. In this tutorial, learn how to create a convincing hologram effect for some creative edits of your images.

It doesn't matter what your primary use of Adobe Photoshop is, you will probably find yourself with tunnel vision in terms of the tools that you use and techniques you need. It doesn't take long before you fall into a routine with your post-production and the bulk of your images are completed with a small pool of functions.

When I first started with Photoshop in my early teens, I wanted to make digital art and so I learned a lot of techniques similar to what this video creates; niche, singular effects for specific projects. What I found, however, was that the more tutorials I followed and the more techniques I learned, the more ideas I had with regards to combining and adjusting effects.

This tutorial by Aaron Nace of PHLEARN walks you through how to turn an ordinary image into a hologram effect. This is perfect for cyberpunk or sci-fi composites and digital art pieces, and is achievable with surprisingly low effort and time required.
