Photoshop turns little girl photos into granny effects

An irresistible fate, born of old, dead in swaddling. And this article, will use "water", to PS as a tool, to create a "rejuvenation" of the image. This is a classic tutorial on the Abduzeedo. A special translation for everyone to learn. Compared with the detailed tutorial, this tutorial more attention to ideas, we may wish not to try, more experiments. See if you can make it.

Look at the effect chart first.

Step 1

First I chose a picture of a little girl, this is a photo I took in studiome, this picture is very rich in facial expression, the little girl is only 7 years old, the look in front of the camera is very natural. Then I found a picture of an older woman, and this photo belongs to a series, so it's very convenient to PS.

Step 2

Haha, two photos of the convergence is very perfect, but the nose to do a from aging to the youth of the excessive. The little girl's photo layer is placed under the old woman's photo layer, the old woman's photo layer adds a layer mask and then obscures the layer. Then use a soft brush to make the edge area visible, natural and smooth to handle.

To make the transition more realistic, I used the liquefaction filter to move the nose down a little bit. Then the color adjustment to ensure that the two photos of the tonal matching. The adjustment layer uses curves and natural saturation graphs

Step 3

I feel also almost atmosphere to foil this transition feeling, this time I have a creative, use soft water, can do demarcation line to reflect excessive, but not too strong. I tried the halo effect to focus the viewer's attention on the face and became the visual focus. The bottom of the screen makes some color adjustments, because the colors in the water look different.

Step 4

In order to make the scene more realistic, especially the underwater part, you need to add a little light effect. This part is mainly added to the effect of coke powder. "Defocus" means that when the light passes through a transparent object, due to the uneven surface of the object, the light refraction does not occur parallel, diffuse refraction occurs, the projection surface appears photon dispersion.

For example, a beam of light irradiation a transparent glass ball, because the surface of the sphere is curved, then the projection surface after the ball will appear light and dark shift, this is "defocus." The intensity of the defocus is related to the transparency of the object and the distance between the object and the projection surface and the intensity of the light itself.

In order to increase the depth of the sense, but also in the focus on the basis of the effect of the addition of fuzzy and bubble. Then create new layers, add smoke, and then use Gaussian blur to blur the smoke so the background doesn't seem to be empty. Then the underwater part uses the opposite lightness. I used the curve adjustment layer to pull all the channels up to improve the brightness of the image. Take a reverse mask, make the layer softer, and use a soft brush to handle the edges so that the transition area looks smoother.

Step 5

The bubbles in the water make the audience seem to be on the scene. This part takes time, I do a lot of experiments, because I think for the sake of the authenticity of the effect, bubbles need to reflect the image, but the color will be deeper. The results of the experiment are not ideal, after a long time, the miracle appeared, and finally found the type of bubble I want, although not very close to the picture.

But these bubbles give people a kind of association: Bubbles, Movement, ongoing, the old lady touches the water, reacts, and gradually rejuvenate. And then what needs to be done is to give the old lady's glasses a little effect, where I use the blue film (the blue gradient can do this, the gradient layer is placed on the old woman layer, then the blending mode chooses the soft light), and then the lens reflects the water.

Step 6

It's almost done! Now just make some small adjustments, add some light points in the water, let the old woman blue film glasses blue tone more obvious, the water on the part of the use of intelligent sharpening, so that two parts can be more harmonious collocation. Then use the new adjustment layer > Photo filter, Blue, transparency 10%, which is placed at the top of the layer. So the whole is more harmonious.

Step 7

A look at the table, Zeo, 3 points, spent 10 hours, but brother this experiment is very successful, the failure of the experiment gave me lessons, successful experiments give me a lot of experience. Do "vitality water, humidifier" kind of advertisement friends are blessed, hurriedly dots, let your products more sense.
