What made me happy today?
I learned a new trick in Photoshop thanks to my friend Steph!!!
Everyone knows I am NOT a master of all things Photoshop. I'm definitely a beginner. All I ever use it for is to liquify, swap heads, or add texture to a photo.
Today, I learned a trick to make my texturizationing (haha, is that a word?) skills much better!
Before when I added a texture, I would just use a brush to erase the texture from the person in the photo. Sometimes the texture itself adds such a pretty color to the photo that when I erase the texture the old photo underneath just doesn't look right. It's easier to show you so here:
This is the original photo above and here it is once the texture has been added:
I love the color this texture adds but I don't want it on the face.
Before, I would just erase the texture everywhere I didn't want it like this:
As you can see it just doesn't look right. The baby looks much too pale now.
My friend Steph told me how she watched a video on MCP actions blog that explains how to remove the texture without removing the color. I watched, learned, and now I have the look I was hoping for, this:
Thank you Steph and thankyou MCP Actions! If you want to see the video I watched go here.
