PS The course of treating beautiful photos as abstract art effect

Step 1

In this tutorial, you can use the same photos as we do, or you can use one of your photos. Download The1stgrape-stock's stock 44. Then open it in Photoshop, put it in a new layer, and name it the original.

Step 2

Now the girl's face is very clean. But you can use the Repair tool or the Clone Stamp tool to erase the red birthmark on her face and the scar on her forehead. Use the low Transparency Clone stamp tool to remove her deficiency. Then use the Smudge tool to add some necessary noise to make the editor look more natural.

Step 3

Then we want to make the girl's hair brighter and more white. Copy the original layer and now work on the copy. Go to Image > compute. Create a new selection using the settings in the following illustration. Then create a new layer and fill the selection with white.

Step 4

Create a layer mask for the hair layer. Fill the black and use a white brush on the layer mask to make it appear, duplicating the hair layer to balance the effect (adjust the opacity to a good level). Combine the two layers of hair and click the "Eye" to hide the group.

Step 5

Right-click the original copy layer and click "Convert to Smart Object". This will enable us to apply filters in ways that do not damage the image. If you don't have a CS3 or a later version, you will use the filter in the traditional way. Go to filter > Styling > Edge Glow, then sharpen > sharpen.

Step 6

Add a color level adjustment layer to balance the contrast and place it below the hair layer group. Add a black & white adjustment layer at the top.

Step 7

Copy the FX layer (the original copy layer), set its blending mode to filter, and reduce the opacity. If you use a smart object, change the edge width of the glow edge to 2 on this layer.

Step 8

Hide two adjustment layers, then create a new layer (position as pictured), clone visible (Ctrl + Alt + Shift + E). The named layer is fxmasked (FX mask). Now you can merge the original copy layer and the original copy 2 into FX to hide this group. Also, show the hair layer. (If you feel a bit messy, please study the pictures carefully)

Step 9

Add a layer mask for the FX masked. Use a black brush to smear on the mask to make the girl's face visible. Besides, all the hair should be covered up so it doesn't look so unreal. This may take some time to get a good result. Use a soft brush of different sizes. You can use the Smudge tool to smear masks in some places for better transitions. Keep on smearing until you get a satisfactory result. The image below is my effect.

Step 10

Add a new layer below the black & white adjustment layer, and name it, fill it with dark. Using a soft brush with a low transparency, smear the shaded display in some areas. This will make her face more "pop" in the picture. The area I draw below is shown in red.

It's a black effect.

Step 11

Now, you can extend the canvas to the size you want. Do this by going to the image > Canvas size. I changed the width to 4000 and let me have more space to work on.

Hide the hair layer Group, original layer, and make sure the background layer is all black. The image now shows a white outline, right? Go to the channel, click the "Load Channel as a selection" icon at the bottom, then go back to the layers panel, create a new layer, and fill it with white.

Double-click the layer and add some white outer glow to it. Duplicate layer, increase the size of the outer glow, reduce the transparency of the layer. Merge the two outer light-emitting layers into the outer contour emitting layer group.

Step 12

... ... Place it on your hand, bend it with the transform tool, and adjust the curvature using the Smudge tool. Add more fragments (including white and black, which will give you some very cool results).

Generate a fractal using apophysis, or simply download a brush pack with fractals from Deviantart. Place it in lines with the hand, wrap it with the transform tool and use the smudge of tool to fine the tune. The preceding paragraph is the original sentence and should be How to translate better?

Step 13

Now coloring, add a color balance adjustment layer. Put it under the outer contour of the glowing layer group.

Step 14

Create a new layer Giant Light, placed underneath the debris layer. Set blending mode to filter, opacity to around 10%. Set FG color to bright blue. Use the gradient tool to create a large radial gradient extending from the bottom of the left-hand corner to the screen (bright blue to transparent).

Step 15

Using a radial gradient, blending mode is set to filter to add some more glow effects. I suggest that you put each gradient in a separate layer and end up with a group

Step 16

Create a new layer at the top of all layers, clone visible (Ctrl + Alt + Shift + E). Then select Filter > Twist > Glass

Step 17

Sets the layer blending mode to color filter. Add a layer mask for it. Cover all the wide stripes except for her right cheek.

Step 18

Use the Free Transform tool (curved) to bend the light to make it thinner on the left edge of the image. Use the gradient tool (black to transparent) to finish the fade effect.

Use the "Free Transform Tool" (with Warp) to bend the light so, it gets thinner the left edge of the image. Use the gradient Tool (black to transparent) to fade the effect. (What do you mean by this step?)

Step 19

Click on the layer icon and use blending mode to set the soft brush to hue. Pick one of the colors on her finger and draw some light on the background texture.

Step 20

Download some bokeh textures textures, do the pattern and follow the steps 11 blend/mask. Add some random shapes to the right hand side of the image to make it more interesting. Twist it, mix it--repeat ... Finally, add a hue/saturation adjustment layer at the top of all layers to reduce a bit of saturation.

Final effect

For my final image I just made a new file and simply cut and paste the image.
