Image on glass will be my final decision in this Project. That did not just stopped my there but a few more research took my attention on creating a 3d effect.

First attempt:
Separate the photo and created 4 layers in photoshop.
Scaled the photos to the right size as to the glass dimensions.
Photos are printed and trimmed and the transfer process begins.
Medium Gel is spread onto the glasses and photos are glued facing down.
They are then scrubbed with a medium hardness of a toothbrush under running water.
It wasn't a happy result as the glue is on the glass although the image is clear, which reduced the visibility to the back. Lessons learnt !!
the FINALE
So went and bought a dual layer photo float glass frame ($10) and a glass top skid protector ($2)
Here we go...
measurements must be right as it will be floating image with no guide.
Photo is separated in 2 layers in Adobe photoshop. Printed and trimmed the lady out from the paper.
Used a anti skid rubber and place at the bottom of the glass to avoid the glass from moving. The cutting mat will be the guide for my image placemen at the center of the glass.
Instead of spreading the Medium Gel onto the glass, i had it on the printed photo instead. This will avoid any mess overspread on the glass, which will result a dirty gluey finish.
Let it dry overnight
Scrubbed under running water with a brush
The failure
The front picture of a lady is place first into the frame, followed by the protector to gap the glasses, which brings out the look of a floating 3d. Then the background image.
The final look
