0 Photoshop tutorial   Portrait with textures

As the name of this

Photoshop tutorial

Says we will need watercolor textures. You can also easily create your own. We can do few brush strokes with watercolor or acrylic paints, wait until the paper dries, and the result can be scaned into your computer. You can create textures that you desire. Next, we need texture of the paper. You can use old paper to scan it into computer as well. If you do not have that option, you’ll find textures on the Internet. We will start directly with this

Photoshop tutorial.

First we open paper texture and we easily modify it. We hide modified paper texture as we will need it at the end of this Photoshop lesson. In the next section we will modify the portrait and then we put various textures on it. We will mostly use new adjustment layer – Levels adjustment layer and we change blending mode between each layer. At the very end of this

Photoshop tutorial

We add a new layer where we place a simple sketch of a face. This sketch can be made better and more detailed, we just wanted to show you that it is possible to highlight the overall final effect in this way.

Now we’re transferring this layer into the smart object. Next we use Photoshop filter Blur – Gaussian blur with a value of about 5px. At the same time we can change blending mode to Overlay. This

Is quite simple and we definitely recommend it for beginners as well. Today’s lesson will show you a good way of increasing the drama by adding light into portrait using Photoshop. This effect is probably best suited for photo portraits but would be good to try other types of images, such as buildings or historic interiors.

Duotone color mode 

is a general name for multicolor print. Duotone in photoshop is composed of four multi-tone pictures. Every picture contains a set amount of ink. Monotone picture printed in one color. Duotone picture printed in two colors, Tritone in three colors and Quadtone in four colors. Photoshop

duotone color mode

is usually used to create a colorful sepia regime and this is achieved by using black and yellow color. In our case, we combined black and magenta color in our video tutorial.

Duotone color mode

creates a very dramatic effect which is quite well saturated with colours. If you want to use duotone color mode in photoshop, your picture has to be changed to colorful regime grayscale, otherwise the menu duotone will be non-active. Duotone color mode is a great opportunity for creating monochromatic prints. In this adobe photoshop video tutorial we’ve tried to show you a way of improving a picture with the help of duotone color mode. First, we transfered the picture to grayscale and then we added to black color magenta and further kept improving picture until the final results was achieved. As we already said earlier, this improvement to a picture is used to achieve a sepia effect. However, as you can see in this adobe photoshop video tutorial you can experiment with colors in duotone color mode and create your own effect.

Photo to a picture with the help of photoshop filters

Only with the help of photoshop filters we can change a photo to a picture.

Photoshop filters

Stylize – Find Edges really carries the right name. It looks for edges in a way that it calculates the opposite colors and draws a line between them. Color, width and sharpness of the line is dependent on the amount of light of neighboring colors. Photoshop filter – Find Edges offers many great opportunities. This is probably the fastest and the simplest adobe photoshop video tutorial on these pages. The change from photograph to a draw picture can be done only by

photoshop filters

and namely Stylize – Find Edges. Also to achieve this change we have to change the blending mode to Overlay. While working with this tutorial you can, of course, use opacity as well – it can be decreased to remove “hardness” when overlapping

photoshop filters.

In this photoshop video tutorial we’ve used 3 duplicate layers. However, you can use more or less depending on your end effect. And again we remaind you – experiment.

To achieve this realistic

oil painting

it is best to use tablet. With the use of this tablet, this effect made in photoshop can be brought to perfection. Of course, even with the use of computer mouse, great results can be achieved /as it is shown in this video tutorial/. When working with computer mouse to get this effect

oil painting

rather choose simpler and bigger pictures which don’t obtain as many details. The base for this photoshop video tutorial is working with Art History Brush. With its use, we’ll make the basic sketch. The size of this brush has to be changed to suit the needs – for details it is a small one, for other things it can be a lager one. However, the most important tool to achieve this effect of

oil painting

is a photoshop tool Smudge tool. With the help of this tool and short strokes of our brush we can start creating realistic oil painting. All this can be seen in our highly detailed adobe photoshop video tutorial.

Blur is one of the most common photoshop filters.

Photoshop filter – Blur

itself contains 11 options.We’ve used in this photoshop video tutorial two of those options – Radial and Gaussian blur.

Photoshop filter – Blur – Radial

simulates the blur of a rotating or zooming camera /photo panning/. Radial blur gives us two options – zoom and spin. Of course, you can set the amount from 1 to 100 and its quality. Another filter, which we used in this video tutorial is

Photoshop filter – Blur – Gaussian

that adds low-frequency detail an can produce a hazy effect. What may be a combination of these two filtres see the finely detailed photoshop video tutorial.
