Night Watch Tutorial

Open whatever image you like to use for this night vision filter. I suggest you to use a high resolution image, 1024x768 or greater. This filter is good for planes, helicopters, cars or human targets This is the image I used, 1024x768.

Set your foreground color to #124e14 or around (a dark green will do) and you background color to a lighter green (not too light, let's say 39780a).

With these colors set, go to Filter>Sketch>Halftone Pattern and in the dialogue that will appear, set these numbers: size:1, contrast:0, pattern type: line. After that, your image should look like this:

Go to Filters>Noise>Add noise to render the scene more realistic. Those in photography business will know what I'm referring to. In the pop-up dialogue set the amount to 5-10, Uniform, monochromatic. Hit OK.

Now Hit D key to revert the colors to default, black foreground and white background. Now make a new layer and, with radial gradient black to white, make a gradient like in the example and than put it in the overlay blending mode.

Your image should look like this:

We could stop here, but let's make a hood also. Make a new layer. Using the rectangle marquee tool, make a selection of what size you want the hood. Fill it with white, than go to Select>Modify>contract with 2 pixels, than hit "delete".

Your image should look like this:

Also with the rectangle marquee, make the target, filled with white also. Put the layer in overlay blending mode. This is the final result.
