Combining 2 or More Images:First we need 2 or more photographs to combine; I have selected the images below.
Butterflies!
Now that you have your images create a new white canvas by pressing CTRL+N on your keyboard. I suggest making it 2000×2000 pixels.
Open up one of your images and press CTRL+A to select the entire image. Now press CTRL+C to copy the image. Maximize the blank canvas that we just created. To paste the copied image into the 2000×2000 pixel canvas press CTRL+V. Now repeat this process for the other photo you want to combine.
We must use the Layers Menu that is on right side of Photoshop after a fresh install or using the default Photoshop setup. You should see 3 things in the layer menu. The bottom one is the white background and the other 2 are the pictures you want to combine. Select layer 1 from the layers menu and use your cursor to drag it where you want the image to be on our fresh new white canvas. Now select layer 2 and move this graphic below or above thelayer 1 image. Since we put these images on a huge 2000×2000 background we need to crop the unwanted white area (follow cropping tutorial below). It should look similar to this:
Combined and Cropped Butterflies
We must merge all of the layers together by clicking on the Layer Menu located at the top of Photoshop. Then click on Flatten Image as demonstrated in the image below.
Layer Menu – Flatten Image
If you need more info on cropping take a look at my Photshop tutorial: How to Crop
This guide will show you how to crop an image in the Photoshop Crop tool and the Polygonal lasso tool.
Cropping an Image with the Photoshop Cropping Tool:
In this image of Murdok the Robot we want to remove the red portion of the image.
Uncropped Robot Image
Now we need to select the Crop Tool located on the left menu shown in the picture below.
Crop Tool
After selecting the Crop Tool drag it over the area you want to keep. Now right click on it with your cursor and select crop.
Dok the Robot Cropped
Crop an Image using the Polygonal Lasso Tool :
Move your cursor to the Lasso tool in your left menu . Now click and hold to bring up additional options. We want to select the Polygonal Lasso tool (L).
Now start clicking the left mouse button approx. 1 millimeter apart around the area you want to keep.
This is an example of an awful looking pre-cropped image:
Pre-Cropped Book
After you have selected the portion you want to press CTRL+C to copy it. Now create a new white canvas by pressing CTRL+N on your keyboard.. A screen will pop up to allow you to change the dimensions of your new canvas. However, since you copied the image Photoshop will automatically set the correct dimensions so we can simply click Ok. Now when your new canvas is open press CTRL-V to paste the newly cropped image.
Now your image should be similar to the one below:
Cropped Book
The End.
This is a common problem as of 10-29-08 in our dreary cavern-like office despite the quality photography lights / space heater we have. However, with Adobe’s juggernaut called Photoshop poor lighting is no longer an issue. Below you will find steps you can use to turn a fuzzy sepia tone image into something sexy.
In Photoshop you have multiple options you can utilize to sharpen fuzzy images or those that you would benefit from having a more detailed texture. To use the Sharpen Filters click on Filters+Sharpen in Photoshop to see the variety of sharpen filters you have available. Typically I use Sharpen, Sharpen More and Sharpen Edges for every image that I edit.
Warning: Make sure you backup the images before modifying them with Zoner!
Batch Sharpen Menu
Batch Sharpen Settings
Done!
1.) First off we need to select a picture to work with. If I want a good quality picture of a model I suggest using Google or your favorite search engine to find a stock photo website.
2.) To get the picture ready for additional changes we need to use the Levels feature to give it a dark feel.. You can get to the Levels feature by either hitting the hotkey Ctrl + L or by Image + Adjustments + Levels. Here are the settings I used for leveling:
Depending on how dark the image you are using is I would modify these settings to your liking. You can also try doing Auto Contrast and Auto Color depending on your image to make it look a bit better but in this case it didn’t look so well. Here is what you should have now if your using the same image I am working with:
3.) We need stock photographs of perhaps rust or a hole in some concrete to layer over the image. If done correctly a picture of a rusted car hood will make the flesh of this attractive girl into a scorched and vile mess.
4.) We need to layer the new stock texture over the image. Open the image and hit Ctrl+A to select the whole texture, then hit Ctrl + C to copy it. Now go back to the picture of the girl you are working with and hit Ctrl+V to paste it as a layer. Make sure in the layers menu it is above the image of the girls shoulder. Now with the image of the rust selected in the layers panel drag the image around some so that the majority of the rust will be on the shoulder. A good way to do this is by lowering the opacity of the image to around 30% so you can see what you’re doing. When you are satisfied with the placement, change the opacity back to 100%. Now time for the fun part, depending on your image this might be different but for this image I changed the layer mode of the texture layer to Multiply. After you do this I suggest moving the texture layer around a bit more to make it fit just right. This is what your image should look like so far:
5.) Now we must trim off the excess texture so that it is only on her flesh. Otherwise the image will look flat and ugly. To do this I suggest selecting an Airbrush Pen Opacity Flow brush with a diameter of around 40 to carefully erase around the shoulder. Don’t worry if you mess up because you can always use the clone stamp tool and clone some of the texture then fill the places you messed up on. Here is what it should look like now:
6.) We are getting close but the image just doesn’t blend perfectly yet, so now we must use the Hue and Saturation feature. To get to this hit Ctrl + U or go to Image + Adjustments + Hue and Saturation. Here are the settings I used:
This should make the burns/sores look more raw and realistic.
7.) Now for one final touch, add a border. To do this make a new layer by hitting Shift + Ctrl + N or Layers + New + Layer…Then go to Edit + Stroke and change the locations to Inside and then change to the color you want the border to be. Now, change the border size to 5 px or whatever size you wish. Here is what the final image will look like:
The End.
Welcome! I hope you find this Photoshop tutorial agreeable.
1.) First off we need to select a picture to work with. If I want a good quality picture of a model I suggest using Google or your favorite search engine to find a stock photo website. Here is the photograph we will use for this tutorial:
.
2.) The next step is to get rid of that mouth. In the main toolbar to the left you will see a icon that looks like a band-aide, which is called the Healing Brush Tool, or simply hit J on your keyboard to hotkey to it. When the tool is selected hold down the alt key and click on a part of the face near the mouth, and make short strokes over the mouth. This will cause the mouth to now look like the skin that you selected. Keep doing this unless were the mouth use to be now looks just like the rest of the face. When doing this make sure you alt+select parts of the skin nearest to the part of the mouth you are manipulating to keep the tone of that section of the face. Here is what I have at this point:
3.) Now we get to give the individual a black eye. Hit O on your keyboard to select the menu where the burn tool resides. Then at the top were the burn tools options are make sure the range is set to midtones, and the exposure is set to 50%. I would also suggest you use a fuzzy looking brush around 50 or so. I chose “Soft Round 45 pixels.” Then brush around her eyes to make the effect as if she was just punched in both eyes. Pimp isn’t it? Keep doing that until you get the desired effect, this is what I ended up with:
4.) Grab the texture I used and open it up in Photoshop. When the texture is opened ctrl+a to select the image, then ctrl+c to copy the image. Now on your picture of the woman hit ctrl+v to paste the texture as a new layer over the lady. In the layers panel click on the texture layer. Then change the opacity of that layer to around 65% or 70%. Now we need to change the layer mode to vivid light in order to make it go over the actual face and not the whole image. It still looks weird though because the color of the texture is too much like the rest of the face, so what we need to do is use the hue and saturation feature by going to Image+Adjustments+Hue and Saturation or hit ctrl+u. Now we want to give her a greenish white look to make her look dead and decaying. Make sure that the texture layer is the one that is selected, and change your hue to +160 and leave the other 2 options at 0 then click ok. This is what your image should look like now:
5.) Now to stitch up those lips.. To do this we need a stock photo of something that has been stitched. This can be done with a picture of 2 pieces of carpet that have been glued together, but that doesn’t look to good to me.
To have a more realistic feel I use a stock photo of some real stitches which can be found here. Now, open it up and hit ctrl+a to select it, then ctrl+c to copy & paste it on the photo of the girl with ctrl+v. The stitches need to be over the texture layer and the face layer. In the layers panel drag the stitches layer over the textures layer so that the texture is below the stitches. You have probably noticed already that the image of stitches is huge. To resize just the stitches layer you can go to Edit+Transform+Scale then drag the now selected corners of the stitches layer to make it smaller. I made it the size of what the old lips use to be to make it more realistic. However, you can make it slightly larger to give a Nightmare before Christmas effect if you wish.
Use the layers panel to change the layer mode of the stitches to Luminosity. However, the lips don’t fit in with the face at all, so you need to select the eraser tool from the toolbar. To do this either click on the icon that looks like an eraser or just hit E. At the top left you will see a option that says brush which lets you choose the brush size. I would choose the smallest brush size possible, and make sure you pick a fuzzy looking one. Now erase all of the extra, which is everything but the stitches themselves. When your finished your picture should look similar to mine shown here:
The End.
