This tutorial will show you how to use lighting effect to emphasize her face, skin and hair. Before that, some nice tips for retouching will be mentioned

Before we start, let’s have a look at what we’ll be retouching:

Before:

Retouch_girl1

And after:

Retouch_girl_2

Step 1: The original photo is a bit dark and her skin is not bright and lovely enough. In this case, we can use Channel Mixer tool to enhance the colors separately. You can find this tool at the bottom of Layers tab

Retouch_girl_1b

If you are new to this tool, I wish to explain more about it. As you knew, a photo is based on three main colors (in RGB mode): red, green and blue. With the Channel Mixer tool, you can manipulate these raw channels separately. Notice that when choosing Channel Mixer tool, you will see there are 3 options in the Output Channel drop-down box corresponding to 3 main colors. And you can also notice that with each main color, the slider of that color will always be set to 100%, by default. For example, when you choose Red from Output Channel, you can see the Red slider are at 100% (while Blue and Green are at 0%). And by moving these sliders left or right, you can decrease or increase the amount of that color in the corresponding Output Channel.

With this photo, we should mainly increase the amount of Green with the settings below:

Retouch_girl_2

Retouch_girl_3

Retouch_girl_4

Our photo now looks better

Retouch_girl_4b

Step 2: Press Ctrl-Alt-Shift-E to create a flatten image which is the result of the under layers. In this step, we will smooth her skin a bit by going to Filter>Blur>Surface Blur, set the Radius of 2 pixels and Threshold of 4 pixels

Retouch_girl_5

Maybe you will not see any big changes but let’s have a closer look…

Before:

Retouch_girl_5b

After blurring:

Retouch_girl_5c

By using this tool with a small Radius and Threshold, you can make subtle changes without making it look fake

Step 3: Go to Image>Adjustments>Curves to brighten our photo a bit

Retouch_girl_6.jpg

We are almost done, the photo now looks much better:

Retouch_girl_7.jpg

Step 4: The last thing we need to do is to add lighting focus to emphasize her beautiful face. Press Ctrl-J to duplicate the current layer and go to Filter>Render>Lighting Effects and use these settings:

Retouch_girl_8

Then change the Blending mode of this layer to Soft Light to make the colors “softer”. Let’s have a look at the result again:

Retouch_girl_10.jpg

Retouching photo is fun! And with the Channel Mixer tool and Lighting Effects filter, we can greatly enhance the photo from its raw color channels and set focus on what we want without destroying the original image

close ups

One day I was just idly to take some pictures of the lizard that makes me think about the dangers of close-up photography in general.

The first problem we need to see is, how close the lens will focus. The lens has a minimum focus distance varies from lens to lens, zoom lens has a few more ‘macro’ setting and the focus will be quite close but most of the focus lens will not close enough to take a picture on the right.

Extension Tubes

If you use the lens will not focus close enough there are several ways to make him do it. If the lens is removed from the camera, you can use the ‘extension tube. This usually comes in a series of three which can be used separately or together. They fit between the lens and the camera body and, as the name, there is no glass in them, they only serve to move the lens away from the field of film (or CCD in digital cameras). The lens will now focus on objects that are closer than before but will no longer focus on infinity.

An extension tube is a good solution as you still use the lens quality that you pay so much money and so the image quality will be the same as for any other shot. Weaknesses (there’s always a bad side, you never get anything for nothing) is that you need more light (inverse square law works equally well on the back of the lens as in front), both a longer shutter time or space wider. Your meter will automatically compensate for this, but it can cause severe depth of field problems we will discuss in a few paragraphs.

By using some gradients and simple brushes we can create a eye catching composition that will leave you wanting more.

Step 1

First i created a new document of 500 × 300 pixels that I filled with white (you can chose to create yours on a larger or smaller canvas its up to you). Create a new layer and select the lower part of the canvas.

fill-half-canvas-with-blacks1

Step 2

Now using brushes that i had in my collection, i painted grass and some flowers in black across the top of the black line. You can find brushes like the ones i used at deviantart.com or a similar place.

brushed-on-grass-and-flowers-s2

Step 3

Now create a new layer and place it under the black layer (with the grass and flowers). Fill the layer with white and drag it below the gradient from top to bottom.

brush-gradient-s3

Gradient will look like the picture below.

brush-gradient-outcome

Step 4

Create a new layer in between the gradient background layer and the grass layer. With the polygonal lasso tool i create rough mountains as below.

brushes-create-the-mountains

Then apply a gradient below to gunung.mountain-gradient layer

mountain-gradient

Step 5

Next decorate you composition with some objects, i chose a boy jumping (i found a silhouette brush on deviantart.com)

In this Photoshop tutorial you will learn how to create incredible hulk saw using a brush and a mixture of options. This effect is quick and dirty and should only take you about five minutes to complete. This effect is quick and dirty and should only take you about five minutes to complete.

Create incredible hulk saw

Step 1 Step 1

Open an image in Photoshop. Opening images in Photoshop. Use an image that has some skins exposed. Use an image that has an open skin.

Step 2 Step 2
Create a new layer by selecting Ctrl + Shift + N.

Step 3
Select the brush tool with an appropriate brush size and colour. I have used #0a8456 colour, but you can use whatever colour you like. Now paint over the areas of the skins like below. You don’t have to be too tidy with the brush tool as the mistakes can be taken care later on.

Step 4

Change the blending option to Hard Light. The select the eraser tool and fix any mistakes from the previous step. You should now have a Hulk appearance like below.

Today we will have a tutorial to edit photos and sure, it is simple and easy to follow as usual. I think you might see this in many music album CD cover and some artist poster or wallpaper. Ok, let’s start time.

Step 1
Open the image in your drive

Step 2

Go to the bottom of the Layers palette and click on the Hue / Saturation option. Set the saturation to -70

Step 3

After that, you may get this:

Step 4

Create a new layer and set it to Soft Light Blend mode. Choose a 48px hard brush and paint the new below.You layer as shown can choose the colors you like.

Step 5

Go to Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur> 90 pixels.

Step 6

Yup, done! easy and now you can edit your photo yourself easily.Thanks!

Step 1.
First of all a person’s face image import free .. any image Make sure the image is black and white (image> adjustments> desturate) and has been resized to been resized to 500×375. Make sure the black and white image (image> adjustments> desturate) and has been resized to be resized to 500×375. Choose the polygonal lasso tool (L) and create a selection around the man. Select the polygonal lasso tool (L) and make choices about people. It does not have to be perfect, since a rough texture will be used later, covering up any minor inprefections. Not to be perfect, because the rough texture will be used later, to cover up any small inprefections. One you’ve completed a selection around the man, cut the layer (layer via cut) from the background. One you have completed the selection around the man, cut layer (layer via cut) from the background. Name the background “background”, duplicate the layer of the man, naming them “1″ and “2″ (image b). Background name “background” layer to imitate men, naming them “1″ and “2″

Step 2.
Next, adjust the color, of the layer “1″, making sure to check “Colorize”

Langkah 3.
Adjust the color of layer “2″, also using “colorize”. Create a duplicate of layer “2″ called “3″ and then make the layer invisible from the layers panel (image b).

Langkah 4.
Next, choose layer “2″, from the layers panel, and select pattern overlay (layer > layer style > pattern overlay).Click the button circled in white, then the arrow circled in red, and choose “Rock Patterns”

step 5
select a blend mode (color burn) Other settings default

Step 6.
From the layer’s panel, change the blending mode of the layer to “Screen” and the 65% opacity

Step 7.
in step 7 we make a new layer the same way again steps 4 and 5, which distinguishes only select texture fills, plih color burn blend mode and click ok

Step 8.
after completion, we are the next steps flatten the image (layer> flatten image) and apply the ‘unsharp mask’ (filter> sharpen> unsharp mask)
amount: 30 Radius: 0.7 threshold: 0

Step 9.
And that brings us to the end of this Photoshop tutorial
