Using layer blending mode for beauty flying hair pull the map PS tutorial

Some time ago in the various late forum, see some people to pull the map is extremely fanatical, the thread is very many but the competent person chats. And most of the method is focused on the extraction, filter plug-ins or channels.

For some of the main and background contrast big pull, rely on the previous said extraction filter and other methods are most competent, but I found a lot of people also dig very hard, so I think there is no other way?

This thought of the layer blending mode, think of a mixed mode in the stack of several tools, at the same time, also thought of last year, Pinghu teacher said to a wedding veil map, he said he did not pull the map, with the layer blending mode.

Last August, when I met him for about 3 hours, he said that the important reason why he had eye problems and couldn't see the computer on the Internet was that he had been studying the layer blending mode every day for several months, more than 10 hours a day,

Pinghu Teacher's learning spirit is awe-inspiring! It also shows that layer blending mode is very important. In addition, he proposed PS late to "that is fast and good" of the idea touched me also very much.

So, some time ago also have a moment to figure out the layer blending mode, and try to do a few in the other late forum to do a few pull thread practice.

Here's a picture of a foreign woman, how to pull it out? I just took advantage of the principle of layer blending mode. The basic idea is: when we put the landscape background map as a mixed color layer on the top,

The character is placed on the lower level as the base layer, and after the blending layer is softened, it will face the dark or bright white in the base layer below or above 50% gray level, as the following figure the foreign woman's hair is partly black and white and

Uncertainty in the gray, by traditional methods to dig out may be more trouble. So now if you mix the principle of soft light, you will get an effect layer that we are not very satisfied with, since the light shows the mixed color layer

Pixels are generally above 50% gray, making the base color layer appear to be diluted. Although the characters ' hair details were finally revealed by the mask, the mixed-color layer was grayed out as a landscape map. Then go ahead and do it.

Now we need to deepen. The first mixed result is stamped, then the first action is done again, but this time with the overlay, overlay is the base color to determine the blend color to get the result color, in short, also increase the contrast,

Because I want to get the details of the soft, but the result is darker after the superposition, the appropriate left to pull some color bands can be stamped. The two stamped layers are then superimposed to the appropriate left pull level to obtain the resulting color layer,

At this time we can see the scenery is not gray. But the details of the figures are still messy. At this time, the original figure to copy a move to the top, add a black mask, a large brush to the characters in the brush, the characters came out.

What about the edges? enlarge the image n times, small brush will edge processing clean on it, basic will not throw away or cut off a hair. Well, interested students can follow my steps to practice.

Original:

Effect Chart:

Landscape Background map:

Screenshots (only a few layers oh, seemingly not difficult)

The first step is to copy a background copy layer, drag the landscape to the top, and then soften the light

The second stamped layer (ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+E), named stamped Layer 1, then points off the front eye. At the bottom of the landscape, the soft light is changed to overlay, and then the ctrl+l is tuned to the excellent Order tool.

Drag the middle slider to the left to about 2.40 to reduce the contrast.

The third step stamped layer (named stamped Layer 2), and drag it to the top, point out the 1 eye of the stamped layer, the stamped layer 2 after the superposition mode, adjust the excellent order tool, the middle slider to the left to about 2.0,

The same is the reduction of contrast.

Step fourth Drag the background copy to the top, creating a black Mask (ALT + mouse click Add Mask button)

Step Fifth Press D, set the foreground color to black, then click the Eraser tool, brush size of about 22 pixels, opacity about 20%, enlarge the image n times, rub the characters, so that the original figure clearly revealed,

Don't worry about wiping out the original bottom of the gray in your hair, no matter what it is, just rub out the characters and the main hairs. After wiping, press X key, adjust foreground color is white, eraser 22 pixel restore is

Just rub a little bit of the wrong place.

The last step 22 pixel eraser is for the large place to rub, the shoulder site recommended with a 0 pixel polygon lasso tool along the edge of the selection recovery. Where there is a lot of detail between the hairs, it is highly recommended that you put the layers to larger

The brush is reduced to 4 pixels, and the gray of the original image is blotted out. This is the practice of the most meticulous work, of course, do not worry about the hair will be wiped off, no matter how to rub, the character's hair is no loss.

This practice is to pull up the reverse thinking method, just like other methods, it is impossible to Pauta, so please master this method can be extrapolate.

Final effect!
