In this lesson we will look at how you can process photos with simple manipulations and create stylized portrait using Photoshop program.

Taking an ordinary photograph, let’s add a riot of colors to it and focus attention on the portrait. To do this, you need to remove the entire background and apply bright textures. And to give it an even more daring and rebellious look, let’s add careless splashes of paint. Thus, we will try to achieve the effect of photography in Grunge style.

Process photo styling- this is giving a photograph features from a completely different style. Using this technique, you can get a very unusual result that can surprise you with its non-standard solutions, color combinations, composition and other processing elements.

STEP 1

Open the original photo in Photoshop.

STEP 2

You need to separate the girl’s portrait from the background. The selection tools are useful for this. We will not dwell on this in detail. I recommend using and then for more precise work with the smallest details, such as hair.

The result of the work at this stage:

STEP 3

Make a duplicate of the layer - Ctrl+J.

When the second layer is created, select it and go to the tab Filter - Other - Color Contrast.

This filter allows you to do huge amount interesting effects. I highly recommend experimenting.

In our case, we make more contrasting lines.

STEP 4

Now for the layer to which you just applied the filter, you must set the blending mode Overlap. And set the layer transparency to 42%. You can choose a different value. You can try both up and down.

After that, combine the two layers together. To do this, right-click on any layer and select the command from the context menu Merge visible.

STEP 5

Go to the tab Image - Correction, and in levels, curves, brightness, etc. we correct the colors of the photo. You need to add brightness, while trying to avoid excessive pretentiousness. Also, using these adjustments, you can and should play with light and dark tones. Here it is also important not to overdo it and not make a flat image out of a three-dimensional image.

STEP 6

Place any background you think is appropriate on the bottom layer. You can download materials from this lesson from the link below.

Place it under the layer with the girl's portrait. Also add flash rays behind the head. It should look like this:

STEP 7

After the background is selected and installed, go to the “Brushes” section - select brushes M. Or on the Internet you can download any other brushes for free from specialized resources, of which there are a huge number. Downloaded files can be . Or another option for those who are bad at drawing is to find the textures of these same splashes and blots and then apply them to the image. This is done in this lesson.

You need to create a new layer and try to artistically depict splashes, drips and blots on it, so as not to block the portrait.

STEP 8

At this step we will create a slight effect of merging the portrait with the background. Create a new layer. Select a regular round brush with soft edges. In the brush settings, set the Opacity to about 25%, and the brush size to 80px. You need to take the color that is most in harmony with the portrait itself and the background. I chose #ed8970 and near the head #fcfaee.

Now we draw along the edge of the person so that half of the brush extends onto the texture. Near the head the yellow tint predominates, there I will paint with a different color.

The result of working on the photo:

You can view and order other works made in the styles of Grunge, Low Poly, Street-Art and others on the website art-ft.ru.

Why is a portrait on canvas better than a regular photograph?

It would seem that technology, including photographic technology, which is improving year after year, should satisfy all our needs. But this does not happen, because often there is something missing in the photographs.

Unique handmade

There is no zest or “soul” in modern photographs, and all because automation has erased the beautiful flair of individuality that we see on canvases self made. That's why the paintings modern masters, including hand-painted stylized portraits on canvas, painted by the hands of artists, are so popular. Besides portraiture attracts more than any other, and if it depicts our loved ones or people dear to us, then its value increases many times over.

Types of stylized portrait

When creating such portraits, the artist is not constrained by the usual framework and can generalize and even change the drawing in some way, and first agree on his vision with you. Stylized canvases are created taking into account any, even the most striking and unusual wishes and needs. This method is especially popular among people with developed imagination and excellent artistic taste.

That is why creative space is practically unlimited. Most often we order portraits stylized as:

• Historical - a picture in ancient costumes with decorations from previous years;
• Pop art - a bright, contoured, slightly “cartoonish” image will decorate any interior;
• Grunge is a specially soiled, shabby and slightly aged image with the effect of deliberate sloppiness;
• Flip flop is a template interactive portrait in the creation of which the customer himself can participate.
• Cartoon is a funny comic image that emphasizes any hobbies or character traits.

By stylizing a portrait, you will not only transform the photo, but also make it even more attractive. To get started, you only need to “PhotoMASTER” and read this article. From the text below you will learn how beautifully and unusually you can stylize portrait photographs in this program.

Photography from the last century

Antique-style photos are a great way to touch history. It’s very easy to feel like a resident of another era: just upload a photo to PhotoMASTER and apply one of the suitable effects from the built-in catalog to it. Presets “Retro – 1”, “Retro – 2”, “Retro – 3” will instantly take you back to the last century.

However, you can always try to create a vintage style from scratch. To do this, reset the applied effects and return to the “Improvements” section. Switch to Black and White mode, and then in the Colors tab, add orange or brown toning to the photo. Adjust the strength and specify the blending mode.

To achieve greater verisimilitude, go to the "Composition" section and process the edges of the photo using vignetting. Adjust its strength, shape and other parameters.

An exciting journey into the world of cinema

By installing “PhotoMASTER” on your computer, you can feel like the hero of your favorite movie. To do this, you only need to perform a simple stylization of the portrait. Select a movie, start it and determine which color scheme is dominant. It will be the key to your success. Next, open the photo in a photo editor and get to work. Let's try to stylize the photo, focusing on the film "Alice in Wonderland".

To achieve this result, you need to go to the “Colors” tab and add a blue tint. Set the Strength to 60 and set the Blending Mode to Soft Light.

If necessary, here you can mute or accentuate any color in the photo, if such a feature is present in the film you have chosen. Now go back to the Basic tab and adjust the Exposure and Contrast tone settings. In our case, they need to be reduced:

We successfully stylized a photograph to look like a film. Similarly, you can adjust almost every photograph to any other work of cinema.

Incredible transformation: from photograph to drawing

Do you want to turn a photo into a painting masterpiece? This is very easy to do using the PhotoMASTER program. Go to the Sharpness menu. Here, increase the Strength, Radius, and Threshold parameters one by one. Then add a slight blur. For example, when processing a photo, we increased the strength to 257 and decreased the transparency to 38.

Go back to the “Basic” tab and experiment with the light of the photo. Let’s make the photo lighter and more contrasty and slightly reduce the value of the “Dark” parameter. If desired, increase the saturation or change individual colors in the image to others in the tab of the same name.

Drawing with a pencil is similarly easy to do. Switch to Black and White mode. Then, as in the case above, adjust the sharpness of the photo. Increase the strength, for example, to 265, move the slider on the “Radius” scale to 5.6, “Threshold” to 20. Set the blur strength to maximum, and reduce its transparency. This will tone down any overly prominent highlight areas in your photo.

Go back to the “Basic” tab and adjust the tone. Don't forget to monitor the result in the preview window.

Tools to improve photo quality

Before styling, be sure to retouch the photo and eliminate all defects that could spoil end result. For example, an adjustment brush will help you get rid of red eyes, certain fragments of a photo, and make other edits. Use the Stamp tool to cover up dark circles, pimples, blemishes, and flash highlights.

Also in the program you can crop any photo: to do this, just go to the “Compositions” section and use the “Crop” function. Mark the new borders of the photo and click “Apply”.
