The effect picture is to imitate the early Black-and-white movie poster. Although the screen is relatively simple, but the author in the light of the Great Kung Fu: The character enhanced contrast, and black and white effect is very visual impact, while the screen added smoke, window shadow, etc. to make the picture more content.

Original

Final effect

1, new gradient map, choose Fade to black and white, if your gradient image is from white to black, to check the reverse phase oh.

2, with black pen brush in the gradient map of the mask on the wipe, our girl's red lips wiped out.

3, create a new layer, Edit > Fill, select 50% of Gray, and then change the blending mode to overlay.

4, use the deepening and Dodge tools, soft brushes, and then reduce exposure to about 20%. Begin to deepen the shadows, especially the areas where the facial features can be deepened, to make the contours of the face clearer, and the high light shadows to look very coordinated. When painting the eyes, we must change the size of the brush to draw.

5, the new curve, we want to make the contrast more strong. The parameter settings are shown in the figure.

6, CTRL + A Select all, and then ctrl+shift+c copy a layer and then paste to the new layer (here you can also use the stamp shortcut ctrl+shift+alt+e), image > Adjust > levels, parameter settings as shown in the figure.

7, filter > Blur > Gaussian blur, Radius: 10px.

8, save the layer as a PSD, and named "Displacement map", and so we used to replace, you can also save another document, so you can distinguish between your work document and this temporary replacement map file.

9, we have just blurred the layer of blending mode to filter color, opacity 40%, so you can make the contrast more intense.

10, close all layers, and then use the rectangular tool to draw a rectangle, as shown in the figure. Copy a layer, ctrl+t deformation, move down to the appropriate position, and then enter to determine, then ctrl+alt+shift+t can be equal to the distance to replicate the same size of the rectangle ~ here is the new skill get oh ~ Then build or merge these rectangles.
