Step 1

Open the woman stock image in Photoshop and resize the height to 4000px and lock the aspect ratio to keep the proportions. I decided than in this case it’s not necessary to use the Pen Tool (P) and separate the woman from the background because in this particular case the background looks very good: well lit, it has texture and the color is OK. If you have a slow computer you can use a smaller size canvas.

Step 2

Right away I started painting the first light effects. These will work as a base to develop the rest of the effects and to establish a direction and get a stronger composition. Use a big soft brush and Color Dodge blend mode for these first light effects. See image below.

Step 3

Now you can add the first fractals. I used some great stock images I found on deviantART but you can use your own if you have or search for others. You can also include 3D renders if you like.
The blend mode that I used for the fractal images was Screen but Color Dodge also works well. If the fractals need more contrast when using the Screen mode, use Levels of Curves to increase the blacks. You can change the color of the fractals using Hue/Saturation and change the Hue. Place the fractals as shown in the image below.

Step 4

Keep adding light effects using the Brush Tool and the Color Dodge blend mode. The original idea was to create a sort of explosion of light bursting out of the woman’s chest but in the end I went for something easier. With the help of those fractal bubbles I wanted to achieve a sort of an abstract effect of the soul getting out of the woman.
To make the effect stronger I added 2 more light effects (Orange and Green) above the woman’s chest. I also added more lights on the lower part of the image using Purple and Turquoise (ocean green). See image below.

Step 5 – Shatter effect

Now I will show you how I made the shatter effect on the womans legs. I found some cool 3D render stock images from http://www.graphic-travelling.com/ and I used those. I selected one of the renders and pasted it over my image.

Next, I created a layer mask for the 3D render and I used a splatter brush to create smaller pieces and also to create some holes and let see the woman’s body through. It looks good without the layer mask too, so it’s up to you.

Once I had the 3D render ready, I duplicated the layer of the jumping woman and I placed it as a clipping mask over the 3D render and moved it around until it looked good. I also added another light here over the shatter and grouped all layers.

If you want more shatters, just duplicate the group and place it as you like. Next I added another stock image of a water trail

Step 6

I traced a path with the Pen Tool (P) and then I converted the path into a selection and using a big soft brush I painted a few lines along the outer edge of the selection to get those faded white lines.

Once you painted as shown above, change the blend mode of the layer to Overlay. I duplicated the shape, flipped it and placed it on another position. Try adding a bit of drop shadow to one of the shapes you just created and see how it looks.

Step 7

Adding the square bits is quite simple. All you need to do is select the default square brush and tweak the settings a bit. Increase the Shape Dynamics to almost 100%, set Angle Jitter to about 60%. Activate Scatter and set Count to 1 and Scatter to 1000% Both Axes. If the separation of the squares is still not enough increase Spacing to about 400%. Once your brush is set, try with different diameters and paint a few lines with white as in the image below. The blend mode used is Overlay.

Step 8

I added a few colored butterflies. Each butterfly has it’s own outer glow effect because I wanted to have even more light effects. The Blend Mode of the Outer Glow effect is Color Dodge.

Step 9

To finish I created some vector-like lines using the Polygonal Lasso tool and the Shift key in order to draw at 45º angle. Then I applied Motion Blur again at 45º angle and created those fading lines. Then I changed the blend mode to Overlay and duplicated the shape a few times.

Step 10

Now let’s go with the “post production”. In this step I took the final image (selected the entire canvas with CTRL+A and then Copy Merged from Edit>Copy Merged or with the shortcut Shift+Ctrl+C) and pasted it on a new document.
The purpose of this step is to give the image a final punch and create contrast between lights and shadows and also between the colors themselves.
After pasting the merged image on a new layer I turned it into a Smart Object (it’s optional) and then I applied my favorite light filter: Lighting Effects from Filter>Render>Lighting Effects. I used the following settings.

Last but not least I added a Gradient Map adjustment layer with Opacity 35% and Soft Light. This will affect the colors. I used the settings shown below.

And if there are people that still wonder why I did step 10 the answer is on the preview below. Hover your mouse over the image below to see before and after step 10.

Potrait Face Text with PhotoShop Cs

Written by Steve Patterson. In this Photoshop tutorial, we’ll learn how to create a text portrait effect. In other words, we’ll create the illusion that the image seen in the photo is actually being created by multiple lines of type. I’ve seen this effect used with many celebrity photos, from Andy Warhol and Marilyn Monroe to Michael Jackson, David Beckham, even Barack Obama. Of course, you don’t need a photo of someone famous to create this effect. In fact, the more you know about the person in the photo, the more interesting the effect can become because you can add more personalized text. You may want to write about what the person in the photo means to you, or share a funny story, or describe something they’ve accomplished. Or, you can just grab some random text from somewhere and paste it in. It’s completely up to you. I’ll be using Photoshop CS4 for this tutorial, but any version of Photoshop should work.

Download our tutorials as print-ready PDFs! Learning Photoshop has never been easier!

Here’s the image I’ll be starting with:

The original image

Here’s how it will look after we’ve cropped it and then converted it to text:

The final “text portrait” effect.

Let’s get started!

Step 1: Crop The Image Around The Person’s Face

Before we begin, I should mention that you’ll probably want to work on a copy of your photo for this effect rather than on the original image, since the first thing we’ll be doing is cropping some of it away. To save a copy of the image, go up to the File menu at the top of the screen and choose Save As. Give the document a different name, such as “text-portrait-effect” or whatever makes sense to you, and save it as a Photoshop .PSD file. This way, you can do whatever you like to the image and not worry about damaging the original.
Let’s begin by cropping the image so we get a nice close-up view of the person’s face. Photoshop’s official tool for cropping images is the Crop Tool, but for simple crops like this, you’ll often find that the Rectangular Marquee Tool is all you really need. I’m going to grab the Rectangular Marquee Tool from the top of the Tools panel (panels are called "palettes" in earlier versions of Photoshop). I could also press the letter M on my keyboard to select it with the shortcut:

The Rectangular Marquee Tool works great for simple crops.

Then, with the Rectangular Marquee Tool selected, I’ll click and drag out a selection around the man’s face, beginning in the top left and dragging towards the bottom right. If you need to reposition your selection as you’re dragging it, hold down your spacebar, drag the selection to a new location with your mouse, then release your spacebar and continue dragging out the selection. I want my selection to be a perfect square, so I’ll hold down my Shift key as I’m dragging, which will force the shape of the selection into a square. When you’re done, you should have a selection that looks something like this:

Everything outside of the selection will be cropped away in a moment.

With the selection in place, go up to the Image menu in the Menu Bar at the top of the screen and select the Crop command:

Go to Image > Crop.

As soon as you select the Crop command, Photoshop crops away everything outside of the selection outline, leaving us with our close-up portrait:

Only the area inside the selection remains.

Step 2: Add A New Blank Layer

If we look in our Layers panel (palette), we see that we currently have just one layer in our Photoshop document. This layer, named Background, is the layer that contains our image. We need to add a new blank layer above the Background layer, and we can do that by clicking on the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:

Click on the New Layer icon in the Layers panel (palette).

Nothing will seem to have happened in the document window, but the Layers panel is now showing a new layer sitting above the Background layer. Photoshop automatically names the new layer “Layer 1″. If we look in the layer’s preview thumbnail to the left of the layer’s name, we see a gray and white checkerboard pattern. This is how Photoshop represents transparency, and since the preview window is filled with nothing but this checkerboard pattern, we know the layer is currently blank (transparent):

The preview thumbnail for each layer shows us what’s currently on the layer.

Step 3: Fill The New Layer With Black

Next, we need to fill our new layer with black. Go up to the Edit menu at the top of the screen and select the Fill command:

Select the Fill command from the Edit menu.

This brings up Photoshop’s Fill dialog box, giving us an easy way to fill a layer or a selection with either a solid color or a pattern. Since we no longer have a selection active on the layer, the entire layer will be filled with whatever color we choose. Select Black from the list to the right of the word Use in the Contents section at the top of the dialog box:

Choose Black for the fill color.

Click OK to exit out of the dialog box and Photoshop fills “Layer 1″ with black. Since “Layer 1″ is sitting above the Background layer, our image is now blocked from view in the document window by the fill color:

The photo temporarily disappears behind the solid black color.

Step 4: Select The Type Tool

We’re ready to add our text. We’ll need Photoshop’s Type Tool for that, so select it from the Tools panel, or press the letter T on your keyboard to quickly select it with the shortcut:

Any time you want to add text to a Photoshop document, you’ll need the Type Tool.

Photoshop gives us the option to add either point type or area type to our documents. Point type is your basic single line of text, usually either a heading or a short caption. Adding point type is as easy as clicking with the Type Tool at the point in the document where you want the line of text to appear and then adding your text. As long as the text you’re adding is short enough that you’re not worried about it extending out beyond the edge of the document, point type is usually the way to go.
Area type, on the other hand, is used when you have large amounts of text, say one or more paragraphs, and you need to make sure that all of the text stays within the boundaries of the document or within a certain area of the document. Since we need to fill our entire document with text, we’ll need to use area type.
To add area type, we first need to define the boundaries for the text, and we do that by dragging out a text frame, which looks very similar to the same sort of basic selection we dragged out earlier with the Rectangular Marquee Tool. Once we have the text frame in place, any text we add will be confined within the frame.
With the Type Tool selected, click in the very top left corner of the document, then drag down to the very bottom right corner of the document so that the text frame covers the entire document area when you’re done. As you drag, you’ll see the outline of your text frame appearing. Just as when dragging out a selection with the Rectangular Marquee Tool, you can reposition the text frame as you’re dragging it out if needed by holding down your spacebar, dragging the frame to a new location, then releasing your spacebar and continuing to drag. When you’re done, release your mouse button and you should see your text frame surrounding the entire document, although it may be a little difficult to see in the small screenshot:

Any text we add will now be confined within the boundaries of the document thanks to the text frame.

Step 5: Select Your Font Options In The Options Bar

Now that we have our text frame in place, we can add our text. Before we do though, we’ll need to choose which font we want to use. Any time the Type Tool is selected, the Options Bar at the top of the screen will show various options for working with text in Photoshop, including options for choosing a font, font style, font size, text color, and so on. The exact fonts you have to choose from will depend on whichever ones you currently have installed on your computer. You’ll probably need to experiment a few times with this since the font you choose, especially the font size, will have a large impact on the overall look of the effect. To preserve as much detail in the portrait as possible, you’ll want to use a small font size. Of course, the smaller the font, the more text you’ll need to add to fill up the entire document area.
I’m going to stick with something simple, like Arial Black, and I’ll choose 12 pt for my font size to keep it small enough to maintain lots of detail in the portrait:

Select your font, style and size from the Options Bar.

We’ll need our text color to be white, so if yours is currently set to some other color, click on the color swatch in the Options Bar, which will bring up Photoshop’s Color Picker, and choose white. Click OK when you’re done to exit out of the Color Picker. The color swatch in the Options Bar should now be filled with white:

Click on the color swatch in the Options Bar and select white from the Color Picker if your text color is not already set to white.

Step 6: Add Your Text To The Document

All we need to do now is to add the text. As I mentioned at the beginning of the tutorial, you can personalize the text portrait effect by writing something specific about the person in the photo, or you can simply copy and paste enough text from somewhere to fill up the document. Since I’m using a stock photo for this tutorial and I don’t actually know the person in the image (although I’m sure he’s a nice guy with lots of good stories to share), I’ll simply add some standard “lorem ipsum” page filler text. When you’re done, you’re entire document should be filled with white text:

Add enough text to fill the entire document from top to bottom.

To accept the text and exit out of text editing mode, click on the small checkmark in the Options Bar:

Click on the checkmark in the Options Bar to accept the text.

Step 7: Add A Layer Mask To The Type Layer

To turn our Photoshop document full of text into our text portrait effect, we’ll need to add a layer mask to the text layer. If we look in the Layers panel, we see that we now have three layers, with our text layer sitting above the other two layers. We know that it’s a text layer because the layer’s preview thumbnail shows a capital letter T in the center of it. To add a layer mask to the layer, click on the Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:

Make sure the text layer is selected (highlighted in blue) in the Layers panel, then click on the Layer Mask icon.

Nothing will happen yet in the document window, but a layer mask thumbnail will appear to the right of the layer’s preview thumbnail:

Layer masks are filled with white by default, which means everything on the layer is fully visible in the document.

Step 8: Copy The Original Photo On The Background Layer

We’re now going to create our effect by copying and pasting the portrait photo directly into the layer mask we just added. Click on the Background layer in the Layers panel to select it. You’ll see it become highlighted in blue, telling us that it’s now the currently selected layer:

Layer masks are filled with white by default, which means everything on the layer is fully visible in the document.

Press Ctrl+A (Win) / Command+A (Mac) to quickly select the entire layer. You’ll see a selection outline appear around the edges of the document, indicating that the entire layer is now selected. Even though we can still see our white text against the solid black fill color in the document window, we’re actually selecting the contents of the Background layer because that’s the layer we currently have selected in the Layers panel. Then, press Ctrl+C (Win) / Command+C (Mac) to copy the contents of the layer (the portrait photo) temporarily into your computer’s memory.

Step 9: Paste The Photo Directly Into The Layer Mask

Hold down your Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key and click on the layer mask thumbnail on the text layer in the Layers panel:

Click on the layer mask thumbnail while holding down Alt (Win) / Option (Mac).

By holding down Alt / Option as we click on the layer mask thumbnail, not only do we select the layer mask, we make it visible inside the document window, allowing us to paste our image directly into it. Since the mask is currently filled with white, your document window will appear filled with white. Press Ctrl+V (Win) / Command+V (Mac) to paste the portrait photo directly into the layer mask. Since layer masks deal only with black, white and shades of gray, the image will appear as a black and white image in the document window:

The image has now been pasted directly into the layer mask on the text layer.

To exit out of the layer mask and switch our view back to normal in the document window, simply hold down Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) once again and click on the layer mask thumbnail, just as we did a moment ago. Notice that the portrait photo is now visible inside the layer mask thumbnail:

Hold down Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) and click again on the layer mask thumbnail to exit out of the layer mask.

Press Ctrl+D (Win) / Command+D (Mac) to remove the selection outline from around the edges of the document window. We’re now back to our normal view mode inside the document, and the text is now being masked by the photo that we pasted directly into the layer mask, creating our “text portrait” effect:

The text is now being masked by the photo.

Step 10: Duplicate The Type Layer

If you’re happy with the results at this point, you can skip these last couple of steps, but if you find that the effect looks a little too dark, make sure the text layer is selected in the Layers panel, then press Ctrl+J (Win) / Command+J (Mac) to quickly duplicate the layer. A copy of the text layer will appear above the original:

You can also copy layers by going up to the Layer menu, choosing New, then choosing Layer via Copy, but the keyboard shortcut is much faster.

The image will now appear brighter:

The effect appears brighter after duplicating the text layer.

Step 11: Adjust The Layer Opacity To Fine Tune The Brightness

If you find that the effect is still too dark, simply duplicate the text layer a second time. Or, if you find that it’s now a bit too bright, you can fine tune the results by lowering the layer’s opacity. You’ll find the Opacity option at the top of the Layers panel. The lower you set the opacity of the top layer, the more you allow the layers below it to show through, which in this case will have the effect of darkening the image. I’m going to lower the opacity of my copied text layer down to around 65% just to darken the effect slightly:

Reduce the top layer’s opacity to fine tune the brightness of the effect.

And with that, we’re done! Here, after adjusting the brightness with the Opacity option, is my final “text portrait” Photoshop effect:

The final “text portrait” effect.

And there we have it!

Create a Painting Effect – Photoshop Tutorial

Want to inject a little uniqueness in your ordinary portrait photo? In today’s Photoshop tutorial, we show you how to touch up your photo, giving it some painting and sketching effect as shown in image below.

The steps are pretty simple and straight-forward. Before we get started, we’re going to need a few things. We recommend that you download them before going into the tutorial.

• Girl photo by Megancatfish (Deviantart)
• Grunge paper texture by Bashcorpo (Deviantart)

Let’s get started!

Step 1

Start by creating a new canvas of 600×400 (or any sizes you think fit) in Photoshop. Create a new layer, call it "Layer 1" and place the photo we downloaded earlier inside.

Step 2

In this step, we’ll first turn it ito a black and white photo. You can use any technique, but we are going to make use of the Hue/Saturation.
Look for Hue/Saturation under Adjustments palette (Windows > Adjustment). Decrease its Saturation value to -100. A "Hue/Saturation 1" layer will then be added to your Layers palette.

With "Layer 1" selected, find and add Color Balance under Adjustments palette. A "Color Balance 1" layer will then be added to your Layers palette.
Under the Color Balance’s Adjustment palette, switch Tone to Shadows and the following values:

• Cyan/Red: -59
• Magenta/Green: -100
• Yellow/Blue: -92

Then switch Tone to Highlights, and enter the following values:

• Cyan/Red: -5
• Magenta/Green: -1
• Yellow/Blue: -50

Your temporarily result will look something like the image below. Let’s go ahead and merge all the layers. To do that, we’ll first select all 3 layers "Hue/Saturation 1", "Color Balance 1" and "Layer 1" and then we hit Control + E (or Layers > Merge Down).
Let’s call our new marged layer "Girl"

Step 3

Create a new layer with command Ctrl + Shift + N, fill it with white color with command Ctrl + Backspace. Move it bottom so it stays below the "Girl layer"
Double click "Girl" layer to bring up the Layer Style dialog. Under the Blend If: section, look for the white triangular of This Layer:, hold the Alt key, and drag the white triangular towards the left until you reach the number 191/255.

After that, merge all layers with command Ctrl + E. Make sure our layer’s name is still "Girl"

Step 4

Hit Ctrl + Shift + N to create a new layer under "Girl" layer, fill it up with white color with command Ctrl + Backspace. Make sure the "Girl" layer is selected, hit Ctrl + J seven times to create seven new copies. Turn all Girl copy X layers off by clicking on the eye icon on the left of Layers palette.
This leaves us with the original "Girl" layer. With it selected, do a Motion Blur (Filter > Blue > Motion Blur) the follwing values for:

• Angle: -22
• Distance: 484.

Next, let’s add some Watercolor effect (Filter > Artistic > Watercolor) and set the following values for:

• Brush Details: 1
• Shadow Intensity: 0
• Texture: 3

Hit OK, and set the layer’s Opacity to 60% and name it "Wet Brush 1".

Step 5

Moving up the Layers palette, look for the "Girl Copy", click on its eye icon to make it visible. Apply Motion Blur (Filter > Blur > Motion Blur) with the following values:

• Angle: 22
• Distance: 247

Then we add Watercolor (Filter > Artistic > Watercolor) like we did in Step 4. No change to Watercolor settings, hit OK when done. With the layer selected, set its Opacity to 85%.
Now, let’s give it a little hand-sketching feel. With "Girl Copy" later still selected, go into transformation mode with command Ctrl + T. Rotate it 90 degree CW, hit Enter/Return to confirm its transformation.
Give it a little Sheer effect (Filter > Distort > Shear) as showned in the image below, and then rotate it back to 90 degree CCW.

Hit Ctrl + T again to go into transformation mode. Move it back to fit the canvas, and decrease its height for about 40%.

With "Girl Copy" layer still selected, click Add Layer Mask button at the bottom of Layers palette to give it a mask layer. Select the Gradient Tool with the command G, and give the mask layer a gradient of white (top) and black (bottom).

Now, you may notice some hard edges and we are going to clean it up. Select Brush Tool with the command B with the following values:

• Size: 150px
• Hardness: 0%
• Opacity: 30%

Paint on the hard edges and corners repeatly to smoothen things up.

Step 6

Select "Girl Copy 2" layer, click the eye icon to make it visible. Get Sprayed Strokes (Filter > Brush Stroke > Sprayed Strokes) and set the following values:

• Stroke Length: 20
• Spray Radius: 20
• Stoke Direction: Right Diagonal

We proceed to getting some Angled Strokes (Filter > Brush Stroke > Angled Strokes) and give it the following values:

• Direction Balance: 100
• Stroke Length: 50
• Sharpness: 10

Set the Opacity of this layer to 70% and double click it to bring up the Layer Style dialog. Under Blend if: section, hold Alt key and drag white triangular towards the left until you see the number 144/221.
Click OK to return to the canvas, select Gaussian Blur (Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur) and give it a Radius value of 0.8px. Name this later "Dark Strokes" and set its blending mode to Hard light.

Step 7

Select "Girl Copy 3" layer, click eye icon making visible. Give it a Crosshatch (Filter > Brush Stokes > Crosshatch) with the following values:

• Stroke Lenght: 50
• Sharpness: 14
• Strength: 3

Then, give it Gaussian Blur (Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur) of 0.4px. Set the layer’s Blending mode to Multiply, and lastly, name the layer "Crosshatch"

Step 8

Yeap, you guessed it. Open up "Girl copy 4". Change its layer Opacity to 85%. Now, with "Girl copy 4" selected, hold the Alt key and click Add layer mask on the bottom of Layers palette. This allows us to add layer mask but hiding it at the same time.
Get the Brush tool with the command B, and select the following values:

• Size: 150px
• Hardness: 0%
• Opacity: 20%

Make sure the foreground color is white, start painting repeatedly on the face and body and to reveal them. Focus on main parts like eyes, lops and nose. Use White color to reveal parts you want to show, and Black to hide them. Our aim here is to maintain artistic and sketching effect; make it looks dirty, but not too dirty. You get the drift.

Once you are happy with the result, we fall back to "Crosshatch" layer. Select the layer, hold the Alt key and add a Layer mask. Do the same as you previously did – paint it with Black and/or White brush until you get similar result like the image below.

Step 9

Next, we go to "Girls copy 5" layer. Double click the layer to bring up Layer Style dialog, change Blend Mode to Color Burn.
Again with the later selected, hold the Alt key and click Add layer mask button. Our aim here is to make the face and body darker so we grab the Brush tool with command B and repeately painting on those parts until you get result like the image below.

Step 10

Now we want to add some edges on it. Select the "Girl copy 6" layer, click on its eye icon to make it visible.
Look for filter effect Glowing Edges (Filter > Stylize > Glowing Edges), set the following values:

• Edge Width: 1
• Edge Brightness: 20
• Smoothness: 10

Click OK, then hit command Ctrl + I to invert it. Set the image’s Brightness/Contrast (Image > adjustments > Brightness/Contrast) to:

• Brightness: 150
• Contrast: 100

Set the layer’s Blending Mode to Multiply and Opacity 75%. Again, like our previous steps, hit Layer mask button while holding Alt key. Get the Brush B tool, paint gently on the image to reveal some smooth edges.
Name this layer "Edges".

Step 11

Moving on, turn on "Girl Copy 7" layer. Our goal here is to get some wet brush the shoulder, we’ll do something similar to what we did in Step 5.
Call up Motion Blur (Filter > Blur Motion Blur), set the following values:

• Angle: 0
• Distance: 600px

Give it Watercolor (Filter > Artistic > Watercolor), hit OK with default settings. Then we bend it with Shear effect (Filter > Distort > Sheer). Use command Ctrl + T to go into Tranformation mode, rotate the image a little to the left (or right) and hit OK.
Hold Alt key and click Add Layer mask, and paint some White Color with Brush B tool over the shoulder.

Step 12

Now we’d like to enhance the texture effect for this art. Download Paper texture v5 by Bashcorpo, pull it inside our working PSD file and fit it on top of our layer. Hit Ctrl + Shift + U to Desaturate it, and change the layer’s Blending Mode to Darker Color.
Now, because the texture image is actually bigger than our image, you can move it around to see which part of the texture fits best.

Step 13

It’d will be nice to give the image some Sin City effect. Let’s go ahead and add some red color for the glasses. To do it, go to Adjustments palette (Windows > Adjustments) and click on the Hue/Saturation button. A "Hue/Saturation 1" layer will then be created. Check the Colorize checkbox, and the following values:

• Hue: 0
• Saturation: 20
• Lightness: 0

Select the Layer mask, and hit command Ctrl + I to hide all the reds. To reveal the red color over the glasses. let’s use a standard soft round Brush B with the following settings:

• Size: 80px
• Opacity: 30%.

Repeat clicking on the center of the glasses to get feather effect, like what’s shown in the image below.

Step 14

We are almost done! Now if you are unsatisfied with any of the effects, feel free to go down each of the layers and give it some final touch-ups with Brush B tool. Remember, White’s to reveal, Black’s to hide.
We hope you get a similar effect like the image below.
