Tutorials on how to create a portrait in Photoshop

I will give you a detailed analysis of the effect of creating portraits for the photoshop software users.

Tutorial sharing:

1. Open the clip image in PhotoshopCS6/CC.

 

 

2. Double-click a layer on the layer panel to bring up the "New Layer" dialog box. This will be used later when we hide the background layer.

3. After setting the "New Layer" dialog, click "OK" to convert the background to a layer.

 

4. Use the polygon plug-in tool to roughly select the text content in "characters.

 

5. Select the text, click "Shift + F5" or "Edit> fill" in the menu bar, and select "ContentAware )". Content Recognition is quite easy to use. You can study it more. After setting, click OK.

 

6. Next, we will use the same method to deal with the curtains in the "character" material.

 

9. Here, we use the polygon plug-in tool to extract the character from the background. First, check out the approximate range of characters. It does not matter if you are rough when processing the hair, because we will not change the background.

After selecting the selection area, click Ctrl + J to create a new copy layer that only contains the selected area.

Click Ctrl on the new layer to load the layer into the selection area.

 

10. Select the first layer and click Delete to remove the character from the background. In this step, there are two layers in the layer panel. The top layer is the character layer selected and copied by the polygon cable plug-in tool, the layer below is the background.

 

11. Here, we mainly deal with the hair of characters. In the previous operation, we had a lot of space between the hair and the background, so it would be easier to process it.

Create a new layer between the foreground and background. Use the fill tool (Shift + F5 or edit> fill) to fill the entire new layer with black. In this way, we can focus our attention on the hair.

 

12. Select the foreground image and then the background eraser tool.

Click Alt/Option and click in the white area between hair using a white background sample. After all the remaining hair is processed, the background color of the sample is removed.

Repeat this process until most of the white background has been deleted in the new field of sampling, leaving only white "fuzzy ". Use the normal eraser tool to delete as many fuzzy pictures as possible without affecting the hair. The following figure shows the effect. Finally, remove the black layer and use the original background.

 

13. Hide the character layer and display the background layer.

Use the polygon plug-in tool to select the missing area. Use the content awareness tool (edit> fill or Shift + F5) to fill in the missing parts. After filling, click Ctrl + D to cancel the selection.

 

14. Select the foreground layer and press Ctrl + J to make a copy. Here we should have two foreground layers for copying. Select the foreground layer that is copied first (the layer should be in the middle ). Select liquefaction from the filter menu, open the liquefaction dialog box, and use the forward deformation tool.

 

15. Select a large brush (slightly larger than the character's head) and stretch the hair to the left. If it seems a little strange, don't worry, because only a small part of this layer is displayed.

 

16. If you are satisfied with the stretch effect, click OK.

 

17. Add a layer mask to the liquefied layer and fill the layer mask with black. The top layer also adds a layer mask, but this time the layer mask is white.

 

18. Select the top layer and layer mask. If you forget to select the mask layer, the effect will not be what we want.

Open the paint brush panel and select a paint brush from the paint panel. If you have not installed a splash brush, download some splash brushes online and import them to PS. Select one of your preferred splash brushes.

 

19. Modify the size and direction of the paint brush to meet our needs (horizontal from right to left ).

Make sure that your paint brush (black) is painted on the mask layer. When processing the area near the head, you should also change the size and style of the paint brush, it presents a natural splash effect.

In this process, we need patience and time, patience and carefulness to achieve the expected results. Pay more attention to the right side of the eyes and faces, because the splash effect we want is from right to left. If the right side of the screen is too high, you can apply a normal white brush to the mask to remove unwanted effects.

 

20. In the next step, repeat the above steps on the deformation layer in the middle, but do not apply Black. Here we use white to show the layer.

Select the intermediate layer and mask layer. Change the color of the paint brush to white and scatter the paint in the previous area. Smear the deformed area. In this way, the entire image is displayed with a cool dispersion effect.
