Without Face: Photoshop Cheating

Hey, are you interesting on cheating methods in Photoshop? If yes then I’ll show u how to create one interesting effect with human face. I’m going to cover almost all the face with plain skin. This lesson is more suitable for those users who have some experience with Photoshop.

Let’s start! In the beginning you should find the picture of a human face to experiment with. I prefer to use this one. Also feel free to use your own pictures. Open up the file and start covering mouth with skin. Get out the Lasso Tool to create selection as shown on my picture below:

Then press Ctrl+J to duplicate selected area on the new layer and move it up a little bit with Move Tool.

After that select the Eraser Tool and the soft round brush to remove borders clearness for current layer. Try to get the same result as on my picture, which you can see below.

Ok, now use the Brush Tool (Brush: 150 px, Range: Midtones: Exposure : 20%) to make skin darken a slightly.

Merge current layer with previous one. Now, select the Clone Stamp Tool (Brush: 40 px, Opacity: 50%) and hold down the Alt key — the cursor will change to a target. Click the point you wish to use as a sampling point. This will be used as the reference point for cloning. Click and draw where you want the cloned image to appear. As you draw, a cross will appear on the original image while a corresponding circle appears where you are drawing.

Now apply the Sharpen Tool to increase the sharpness a little bit.

Ok, move to the next area. Now I’m going to process eye area. Use the Lasso Tool again to select another one area.

Press Ctrl+J to duplicate selected area to the new layer and move it a little bit as on my picture you can see below.

After that use the Eraser Tool and a soft round brush again to process clear skin borders for current layer.

Merge this layer with background layer again and use the Clone Stamp Tool one more time to remove skin mixing defects.

Increase sharpness with Sharpen Tool for current area also.

Ok, process another eye on the same way. Use the Lasso Tool to create another selection again.

Press Ctrl+J to duplicate selected area on the new layer and move it above.

Use the Eraser Tool again to process skin borders.

Duplicate current layer again with Ctrl+J and move it down and left a little bit.

Use the Eraser Tool again to correct this layer.

Merge all layers again and apply Clone Stamp Tool one more time to hide all the defects.

Add more sharpness with Sharpen Tool.

Time to process the nostrils. On this step u don’t need to duplicate skin area again to hide the nostrils, it will be much easer to use only Clone Stamp Tool. Use the soft round brush about 25 pixels to do it neatly.

Now, select the Dodge Tool (Brush: 70 px, Range: Midtones, Exposure: 20%) to make some dodge work on the left part of the noise to bring our nose more realistic view.

Ok, on this step we are done with out Photoshop tutorial. Human head without face looks so professional processed, isn’t it? Hope you got the same good result as me. If not, don’t be upset, may be you need to have more practice with Clone Stamp Tool, after that you will get the same good result or may be better than mine!

SUMBER: WWW.PHOTOSHOPSTAR.COM

Have you ever seen any fruits or vegetables with a face? In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to make realistic view collage with fruit and human face.

In the beginning you should find the picture of ay fruit or vegetable. I prefer to use this one picture of pear. Open up the picture.

Then you need to find appropriate picture of human face to put it on the fruit. You can use mine picture or feel free to use your own. Ok, open up the picture and copy it to the first canvas with fruit. Then set up opacity to 45% for this layer and use Edit > Free Transform to reduce the picture and rotate it as on my picture below.

Set up opacity to 100% for current layer again and begin cleaning work with Eraser Tool. Use soft round brush with opacity about 30%. Remove all parts, leaving only the eyes, lips and nose.

After that select hard round brush and make clear finger area.

Press Ctrl+J to duplicate layer and hide the copy (click on the eye, which indicates layer visibility). Go to lower layer and apply Image > Adjustments > Color Balance with next presets:

See the result below:

After that use Image > Adjustments >Hue/Saturation:

The picture should look like this:

After that select the Burn Tool (Brush: 70px, Range: Midtones, Exposure: 30%) to make some burn work.

Go back to the hidden layer and make it visible again. Select the Eraser Tool again and remove all content, leaving just eyeballs, nostrils and mouth.

Then apply Image > Adjustments > Levels to this layer:

See the result below:

After that get out the Burn Tool (Brush: 70px, Range: Midtones, Exposure: 30%) again and darken nostrils and mouth areas.

Select the Eraser Tool and a soft round brush with 30% opacity and make little clean work on the same areas.

Looks good, isn’t it? Ok, move to the next step. We should add the pear texture to the face. Go to the background layer and make selection with Polygonal Lasso Tool as was shown on my picture below.

Press Ctrl+J to duplicate selected area on the new layer. After that move this layer above all the layers and change layer mode to Soft Light for it.

Then make some brightness and contrast corrections with Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast.

Now you should have something like this:

After that select the Eraser Tool again and remove clear borders of this texture.

Use the Burn Tool (Brush: 40px, Range: Midtones, Exposure: 30%) one more time to make features more clearly.

On this step we are done! Hope, this tutorial was useful for you.

Menggunakan Kreatif Seni di Valentine Greeting Card

SUMBER : WWW.PHOTOSHOPSTAR.COM

The long-awaited holiday coming… This is Valentine day. This holiday so important almost for each of us. That’s why I decided to prepare for you one more interesting Photoshop tutorial about how to make Valentine greeting card by using creative art.

Ready to start? Ok, let’s go! In the beginning I created a new document and filled it with black color.

Then I would like to add decorative elements to the background. You can find some appropriate picture on stock photo websites and feel free to use my picture. Open up it and use the Polygonal Lasso Tool to separate picture from the background.

Press Ctrl+C to copy selected area, then go back to our main canvas and press Ctrl+V to paste coped part of image on it. Move it a little bit left as shown on my picture below.

Press Ctrl+J to duplicate current layer with flowers and hide the copy (click on the eye, which indicates layer visibility). Go to lower layer and set opacity up to 20% for it. Then create a new one layer above and fill it with pink to orange gradient, using colors of #ff5860 and #f6e69e. Change layer mode to Screen for this layer.

Go back to the hidden copy of layer and make it visible again. After that move it like on my print screen which you can see below.

Apply Drop Shadow and Outer Glow layer styles to this layer.

See the difference now?

Ok, now duplicate this layer with Ctrl+J and move copy to the right lower corner.

Move to the next step. I would like to bring some heart shapes to the background. How we can do this? I’ll show you one way. Create a new one document sized 50×50 pixels. Then select the Custom Shape Tool and one of the standard shapes from Photoshop gallery. Add this shape to our new document. It doesn’t matter which color it will be.

After that use Edit > Define Brush Preset to save this shape as brush. Ok, now we have ready heart brush. But before applying it we should set up some settings for it. Select the Brush Tool and our new brush. Then click the button ‘Toggle the Brushes palette’ on the Options Bar to open brush presets window or by choosing Window > Brushes. Here we can see a couple of presets. Now, set up the following presets for our selected brush:

Ok, when we are done with settings, select the white color as foreground color and add a few strokes with hearts.

Ok, move to the next step. Now we need to bring our greeting card some creative art looking and should stylize it. For this effect merge all layers in one by pressing Ctrl+Shift+E. Duplicate new layer with Ctrl+J and apply Filter > Distort > Ocean Ripple for the new layer with similar settings to these:

After that mess with the layer mode & opacity/fill. I tried Sift Light with opacity of 60%.

Then we should add greeting text or something like this. Get out the Horizontal Type Tool and write out some text. Actually, I decided to put some poem about love in my greeting card. So, the first line will be title of the poem. Use the color of #5b2a0c for this text line.

In the above image I’ve used a font called Garamond Premier Pro, which is one of standard Windows fonts. Ok, then add the poem with the same color and the same font. But use smaller size font for this text layer.

Looks good, isn’t it? Merge all layers in one again and apply Filter > Texture > Texturizer with next presets:

Now we have effect like this:

After that use the Sharpen Tool to add some sharpness to our canvas.

Ok, on this step we are done! Now we have great looking Valentine Greeting card.

I congratulate all on the Valentine day! Love each other and try to save your love!
