ZANDRA (zto) PP'ed this shot. I REALLY like what she did. Here are her steps:
1. I copied the picture to a new layer
2. By using the clone tool i cloned out the overexposion on Jalas cheek
3. Copied this layer and added diffuse glow (Values 2,10,15 - opacity
was 50% and blend mode Normal)
4.Copied eyes to a new layer and added unsharp mask to them
(Values 150, 1, 0)
5.Copied her eye brows to a new layer set to multiply and opacity was
25%. used a layer mask to remove parts which i did not want to have darker
6. Made a selection of only her lips by using a path.
7. selected only her theeth in the same manner as the lips.
8. Made two layer copies of the layer where i had cloned out the
overexposion (see step 2). I set the first to darken as blend mode and
the second to lighten.
9. On the darken mood i added 40% Gaussina Blur and on the lighten layer
i aded 60%
10. Created a new layer and made sure it was my top layer.
11. Made all other layers except these 3 non visual
12. By holding down the alt key and chose Merge visible i merged the two
blured layers in to my new layer (make sure the new empty layer is the
acive one when merging them)
13. Made all the other layers vivible again and made the 2 blur layers
non visible
14. Set the opacity on the new layer to 20% (20-40% usually gives a good
result)
15. Added a layermask to this layer and removed the effect on the eyes,
lips, theeth and her hair.
16. i added a gradient map going from (RGB 110,60,21) to white. Opacity
was 30% and fill was 50%
17. saved as JPEG and ran it in NI |
