As you can see in this

Photoshop tutorial

The main editing of your photo and its conversion to black and white will be done with Camera RAW. We open up photo in Camera RAW and we only change parameters of Recovery, Bright, and Clarity in basic settings. Next, we go to the HSL / Grayscale where we convert photo into black and white form. Here we set up parameters according to the needs of individual photo. Keep in mind that you need to achieve a darker and particularly sharper look of your picture. In the next section of this

Photoshop tutorial

We will edit photo with Tone Curve panel. We customize parameters – Lights to +10 and Darks to -10. Then we open up image in Photoshop. With the new adjustment layer – Curves we continue to adjust the photo further.Then we will also use the Photoshop tool – Gradient. Methods on using adjustment layers – Curves can be seen in

Photoshop tutorial.

Today’s lesson is again quite simple and fast and therefore we recommended it for beginners as well. We would like to warn you to use photo in RAW format – the results are clearly better than when you open a JPEG in Camera RAW.

Still, we would like to point out that at the very end you can reduce opacity of the texture layer. If you want to remove some part of texture from the object, you can add a layer mask and use a soft brush. You can also try to reorder  layers above the image. We changed blending mode to Overlay, but even here you can experiment and use a different mode.

We obviously need a facial image. This photo, however, will be adjusted as we need to create, at least, four or five different mutations. In the video you will see just a quick adjustment of the facial image using Hue / Saturation. We will change only the colour of the face. However, if you want to create better face and more complex, you can use for each edition step Photoshop filters – Artistic as well. So, even in this

Photoshop tutorial

You can experiment. The end effect depends on the treatment of your chosen facial image. At the very end, only add a layer, which we cover with text. You can write the text directly into layers, or you can use the text as we did from Lipsum site. If you have the texture of the newspaper, you can use it – in effect it looks very nice.

At the beginning of this

Photoshop tutorial – Alpha channel

We should say that photoshop alpha channels are masks trough which we can apply effects. The alpha channel is only selection of part of your image for its further modification. Alpha channel is 8-bit channel, which means it has 256 grey levels from 0 – 255. The important thing about channels is that then can be stored, modified or combined. If you save a selection /Select – Save Selection/ you can retrieve it again anytime /Select – Load Selection/. In today’s video

Photoshop tutorial – Alpha channel

It will be used – we’ll select a specific part of image and we will apply photoshop filter to it. Using this technique we have achieved the effect where half of the picture looks like a cartoon and the other one is retained original. You don’t need to use only photoshop filter which can be seen in this adobe video
