Another post full of photos! Transparent desktops were quite popular year ago. They were followed by all kind of “Transparent Devices” all the way to transparent billboards. Many of them are still laying on my disk, so I made a comprehensive collection, and posted it to this article. You probably won’t see these any time soon, so enjoy it for now, and try to decode how each of them were created. Some were quite easy to make, some not. I’d like you to tell me which ones you liked the most, and why?

Um, to the person below..
If you’re looking at it at work, shouldn’t you be WORKING? Get back to work, loser! Soo it shouldn’t matter. The tenth one was awesome. :)
Is the 13th one jack whithall
I’d tell you how the 4th one from the bottom was done. But then again, that would ruin the mystery.
Most of these are just people who take a picture put on device and carefully position it. The more complex ones are simply photoshop tricks using transparencies.
Set up a camera, take a picture of whatever, put your device of choice into the position and take that picture, and merge the two in photoshop after. Throw on some light distortion on it, tweak the colors, add icons or whatever you need to do to make it look more legit.
Come on people!
They are back to back transparent photos taken from another picture or such as photoshop edited.
1: Take a picture of the main background and make it transparent.
2: Take a picture of somthing that another person is holding or showing, i.e. a phone.
3: Take a picture of a person’s hand and put it on opaque, then edit using photoshop or something.
on the tenth one you are so stuck on looking at the girls butt that you don’t see that the picture is not aligned. the door lines are not in the same spots. and if you look at her legs next to her picture she has red pants that just disappear on the computer.
the last one just has the back of the laptop removed and the picture is taken from the back…
ive always wondered..cant u put it on camera and put it where ever and it’ll show the cam as b-in transparent.. or wit the x ray maybe he has that as his screen and puts it where the home screen should be in a humans body and then u get the thought that,that computer shows in x ray? i dont know if im right its just a thought.But i donno how those others r transparent may b they r just made that way but i dont hav one idea how those ppl could get their hand and stuff in the labtop
14th one looks fake
good tricks
Ok the one with the guy sticking his hand through the pc….. i know that he took a picture of his face and put it as his background….. you can tell that but the hand idk…..
ok for #13 i get it he cut a hole throught the screen to put the hand through then used picnik premium to add the pictures and make them really small for the icons then type with text below the pic so i lookes lyks an icon
some of them are just photos of what’s behind them… but the x-ray ones are pretty cool. Yeah, and number #13. Impressive.
what im guessihng is that the screens are pictures. first they would take the picture and then set it to the exact area so it looked as if the screen was transparent..? hmmm..
For the guy that his hand sticking out of the monitor, I think that removed the screen, glued a transparent sticker as there is a rectangular shadow behind the place where icons are and then simply did not use transparent sticker for the other half of the monitor. Simply put: One half of the monitor has a transparent sticker, the other doesnt.
The 13th pic gave it away that the screens just have holes in.
Can someone show me how the girl with the butt is made? I am totally baffled with the trick.
