Photoshop adds auxiliary elements to photographic photos

The rounded pattern can bring a relaxed, lively atmosphere and a strong visual impact to the elegant model photographic works. This tutorial Camilo Bejarano will show us the hand-painted elements, scan the pictures into the computer, how to combine the two organically into colorful design works. This technology provides more space for our creativity: You can use it to increase or adjust the color, adjust the style of the photo, add the photo itself does not express feelings and ideas. The most interesting thing is that it is interesting and has enough freedom to let our ideas flow freely.

1. First we have to pick out the right photos, which is a crucial part. It can be your own photographic work, or you can come from a gallery. I suggest you find a picture with a shallow background or no background. Once we find the right picture, we'll import it into PS and then print it onto A4 paper. The reason why we print such a small size picture is that A4 is just easy to copy.

2. Before the printed manuscript, we have to do some exercise on the other paper, when the clear design ideas can write. Try to draw a smooth line to bring the characters into your imagined scene.

3. Once the pen is drawn, make sure the line is smooth and the color is deep enough so that the scanned pieces are clear. If the line is too light, repeat it. Scan the pictures into the computer after you finish drawing. If you choose the camera as an input medium, make sure the picture is intact.

4. The finished photo scan must be imported into PS processing, such as deepening the line. I usually do this to make sure that the lines are coherent when copying. Back up the original photos, open the copy file, make sure the picture size meets our output requirements. To create a new layer, we'll place the scanned copy of the photo we just finished, setting the opacity to 50% and resetting the size to match the original.

5. Output a picture version to the illustrator, it will take some time, you can listen to music, or drink a cup of coffee. Adjust the size of the canvas in AI and then draw the object before you start copying it on the new layer. I usually stroke all objects in red with no padding. So I don't need to focus on colors and gradients when copying. Copy all the objects to the new layer.

6. Now all the shapes are vector graphics, we need to create a color board to use. Be extra careful not to close the picture you're working on, because it will fill us with graphics, add gradients, and provide references. Then we fill each shape with color, gradient, and high light.

7. Now so the graphic has been copied spot color complete, delete contains the original version of the picture layer, the vector graphics imported to PS. Use the PSD method to export the option because it will keep the layer we created. Open the file in Photoshop, and import the original photographic work, and place it at the bottom of all layers. Make sure all the objects are rounded and smooth, blending perfectly with the background characters.

8. Almost finished, because our design works are ultimately used for printing, the format of the picture set CMYK. You can also add extra colors, overlays and textures to your artwork if you like. Because all layers are independent, you can easily add projection and post-processing operations to your artwork.
