Aphrodite - Advanced Photoshop Manipulation Tutorial

1. Aphrodite Intro: Welcome to new Photoshopped tutorial with PST box on that I am today. I will show you how to make this manipulation in photo shop. Um, it's a colorful looking manipulation. As you can see, we're gonna add a few elements around here. It's not really complicated what I want to show you how I replaced the hair of the model. I'm gonna show you how I manipulated that because this is not the original here. And how at this elements around here how to retouch the skin a bit, and that's pretty much it. You can do this in any four shop version I'm using for Shop CC 2018 but you can use any force television you can. You can get a result if use something above sea Essex or at least here, six. It's a lot better, but as I said, you can do this in pretty much any full shop version you'll have. The resource is on the resource researches folder so you can narrow the stock images and also you'll have the PSD file so you can see a second cycle through the layers, as you can see over here and see how I how I made a lot of this adjustments here, so I hope you will enjoy it. And let's get started. Well, we're gonna start by copping this canvas size. I'm gonna copy, Manage. And when a cretin you document, uh, I'm gonna make it a bit smaller about 3000 pixels, because I'm also recording the video, so I don't wanna I don't want my computer to slow down, so I have some of the images already extracted from the background because they're quite easy to extract. So let's delete this, and we're going to start with the background. Aziz. Always. You can see these are the files that I already have extracted. So let's go into the resource is fuller. And here you'll find all the images that you need to create this. So we're gonna start with this one. I think I got this image from on splash dot com and I'm gonna base my image right over here . We're gonna make it big, make it as big as you want. We just need this for the background, have some color and some texture, and I'm gonna blur it so it doesn't matter if you could lose his quality. When you scale it up, Let's get a filter on. Go to Blur. We're gonna use Gaussian Blur something like that. You don't want to have something like this. It's too blurry. Um, out there. Um, the radios will depend on your canvas size for this 1 64 It's okay, lets 17 have exact numbers. Okay, so this will be our bag. You can see we have some white area here, which is great for the background, that we will have their own some texture around there. The next I'm going to do is open the second image, which is this one. And this is to create the floor. And I got this from 1 to 3. Our effort think it's called the website right by my stuff can be just also by images from deposit photos so you can go there and, uh, search for a stock images that create good resolutions. So the next thing I want to do is convert this interest more object because I don't know how big this has to be. Somewhere skillet down. I'm gonna go a bit quick here because this is just standard photo merging and manipulation . So with this ingredient with a linear greater black to white. I want to fade this away. Something like that. Maybe I'm gonna reverse it definitely from the bottom. I don't want to see the the actual see there. But if you want to do that, you can. You can do it. I want to make it just a bit bigger. We'll have to adjust the perspective of this. So after add the shell there we will see how I have to do this. But, uh, let's start with that and let's add the shell so we can then adjust the ground there and I only have it extracted, as I said, tutorial files. And this one is really easy to extract. It's on a solid background, so that's why I don't want to spend time showing how to do it. And let's make it smaller. Keep in mind that we have to put the woman inside of here, so you want to make it. I'm gonna live about that much space on each side there, if you're not sure about the size is, it's always better to convert into a smart object and then you can re scale it 2.

I want to make it just a bit bigger. We'll have to adjust the perspective of this. So after add the shell there we will see how I have to do this. But, uh, let's start with that and let's add the shell so we can then adjust the ground there and I only have it extracted, as I said, tutorial files. And this one is really easy to extract. It's on a solid background, so that's why I don't want to spend time showing how to do it. And let's make it smaller. Keep in mind that we have to put the woman inside of here, so you want to make it. I'm gonna live about that much space on each side there, if you're not sure about the size is, it's always better to convert into a smart object, and then you can re scale it, and you will not lose quality. Now we have to readjust this shore on this Bhagwan Sorry in the floor, in other words, so that it matches the perspective of it. Have to drag it down if you put it right here, is not looking to get to the horizons up there. So I think I have to make it a bit smaller and place it somewhere around there. I think that looks okay. Now let's go with the model and, if needed, will readjust things here. But let's start with the model. I'm gonna open the extracted version, and I'm gonna show the original as well. And let's open again. And inside the resource is folder. You'll find this image of the model you can see. It's really high resolution, while 5000 pixels and you can see that's really easy to extract. What I did is I crops the hair around here. I don't need it. So also this one over here crop little bit on. It's just a matter of using the panto on some areas, but you can use the quick selection to, or even the magic want in some places. So is not really difficult to extract as you can see the extracted version is this one. And you can see how I cropped hair like that. And I, um, refined the edges a bit. Um, and this is my results. I'm gonna drag this image to my canvas, placing right over there on top of my shell. Let's name this shell, and I'm gonna convert the woman interesting object because I have to adjust the size and just in case I make it to small, and then I want to resize it that way I can I can do Let me take a look at the original so I can see more or less the size of her. The neck should arrive while should be, should reach this top part of the shell. So let's make a slightly smaller and also take a look. I lowered her like she's sitting inside that shell. Okay, so let's do that until its place right over there about that big. I think it's OK. Maybe even a bit lower like that. I am a quick okay process for you to accept the change. Now I'm gonna create a layer mask for this. Let's name this model. This clear. Look at the later mosque and with the brush I'm gonna brush with black opacity and flow 100% and just being with black too. The activator transfer cause I'm using the the graphics tablet. Get rid of that. Carefully paying the area. Andi Now she looks like she said in sitting inside a chill now, not a reason why turned this interest more object. Besides, the fact that I was not sure about the size is because I want to apply filter, and the filter that I will apply is destructive. You cannot use it as an adjustment layer, and a filter is the shadows and highlight. So if I goto image is not afraid, filter is actually an adjustment. So good image adjustments and choose shadows highlights because I'm using a smart object. This will be applied as a smart filter. So it's not going to destroy my image destructively. So, actually, you can see the sightings that I have. These are exactly this same settings I used on the original. What do you do with this? Take a look before and after its ad light on the shadows and remove highlights if you have too many. Okay, so I'm not gonna touch that too much. I just wanted this basically foreshadows. See that with the about you can with the moment you can remove add light on shadows. Basically, that lead to 35 the collar up. Gonna leave it to 20. But I'm not going to change the Midtown contrast. I'm gonna click, OK? And I'm going to zoom in so I can show you something. Be careful, because when you use this usually noise will start to show up on on your image where the shadows were. Because if this would be a raw file, you'll have a lot last noise. But this is a J pic file, so we have to work with what we have. We're gonna fix this later on where we're gonna smoke in this skin. Okay, so now we have the model will have the base stuff around here. Let's start adding things around here. One thing I wanted to do is I wanted to hide this pearl here, so I used the flower to do that is open again. Our stock fuller and I used this flower of here. You can see everything is pretty easy to extract. Um basically just used the magic. Want tool on applied later mosque. And copy this. I'm not gonna spend time. I'm refining edges. Just gonna place the elements here, and I have to do it yourself. Just be careful with the edges and apply. Refined the edges when necessary are not going to do it because I don't want to spend time . Now. What we want to do now is create a little mosque for this. Actually, we can use the woman selection to delete part of the flower here and then for the shell, have to do it manually because this election will not work. Yeah, so I could do something like that and then paint back. It's a lot easier than trying not to then trying not to touch that line. So sometimes it is easier to work backwards to see that way. Well, im doing it really quick. This is just details that you want. Be careful with, But for the sake of this tutorial, gonna go pretty quick on some on some details. Great. Now I have the flour of their one thing. I wanted to add their on the bag. One. It's too smooth. So what I wanted to do is add a bit more texture. And that's why I used this image. So I used this clouds over here on. I'm gonna place them on top off here. And of course, I have to make this smaller to fit my image, and I'm gonna live it on normal, and I'm gonna drop the capacity to 50%. And I'm gonna quit the little mosque on Just fade part of that. But the bottom part like that. See that? That's too soft like that right now. You can also blur disability if you want. Let's try and see how it looks like on the original. I didn't do it, but you can apply some girls, Ambler not to the masked leader itself. Filter, blur and choose gouging. Blur. Okay, Probably I want I just want to add a bit more off highlights there on the clouds because they were too, uh, too dark. 53%. I think it's better. Okay, now let's move on a add even more stuff. Start adding stuff here. I also used this image. I think it's a nice image, and I place it behind the shell when applied a layer mask applying later. Mosques will made your document. Ah, little small. Let me show you. Demonstrate. That was too close. That and I'm gonna open the image again so you can see it. It was this one. So I'm gonna create the letter mosque again. But I'm not gonna delete it. I'm just gonna create it converted. And I'm gonna move this to buy canvas over here behind the shell, and I'm gonna make it smaller. Just make this point while in tips off this stick out of it and rotated so that it's a bit more symmetric and I'm gonna leave it right over there. No, gonna with this little mosque. I'm gonna You raise the bottom part over there and you can see down here on the bottom left , you can see the documents size. If I apply the layer mask, you will see that it should drop a bit. I'm gonna right click on the layer mosque and choose. Apply later mosque and you can see how the document size dropped it. So if you wanna make your file size is a bit smaller. You can apply the little mosques, but you will lose editing capabilities if you wanna retouched that you will not be able to do have a great deal in another layer mosque and then refine the edges if you if you want to. So you have sacrificed a bit off on the editing capabilities. Okay, let's move on and add more stuff. Run. Here. Um, let's add this other plan here. You can add our souls of plans and stuff. I wanted to create something natural, vibrant and colorful. Andi, I found this stock images which I which are the ones that I used. You can see that here, use the magic wand. Tolerance 13. And with shift Kikkan and selections. And I'm gonna create the little miles can again. I'm gonna apply it and I'm open it and based it again. I'm gonna baste it behind. I used a couple of, uh well, a copy of this, uh, Andi. I placed it on several on different parts of the image. One over there, maybe, but this watch, I'm gonna put it on. Well, what I'm gonna do is use the selection. I want to have the illusion that this leaf over here is getting inside the shell. What I want to make it a bit smaller. First, something like that. And I'm gonna a mask the shell itself instead of putting this on top. This one, this one, instead of putting it on top and masking this side, I'm gonna do the opposite. I'm gonna create later Mosque for the shell. And I'm gonna use the selection of the plant, this one and mask the shell with black. And it's all easier on a lot less work. Okay, We'll have to create the shadows. But we're gonna deal with that a bit later. Let's use the other copy on and create another something like that. I think it would look nice. It's really up to you where you place this, but I don't even know how I placed this on the original. Well, you can see this one was here, and we'll have to create that shadow over there. But while this is how this one looks like, I'm gonna make it slightly smaller. Oops. That over there and great. Now I placed even more stuff I have on Ivy around here, and I think it's not here, this one over here, and I'm actually gonna open this agent file as well So I used this one and I placed it. Let's close documents that we don't need. I placed it right over here above the model, make it slightly smaller and put it over there. Now what I want to do is hide this because I want to create the illusion that it's going. It's coming from behind and it's actually crawling through her. But on her body. Okay, I'm gonna use the selection off the model control. Click the model to load the selection. And first cradle later, Mosque for the ivy later for this plant and then select the woman with control. Quick, select a layer mask of the ivy and with black paint. This part's over here like that. Not entirely just the top part like this on. This is how it looks like. Okay. And now let's add this. Does this flying? No, around here is too big, so I'm gonna have to make it. I'll have to make it a bit smaller. I'm going to use her head as, uh, as a guide, more or less to create the more realistic size for this and in a place where right over there. Okay. So as it considers just adding stuff here. It's not really that complicated. At least that's what I think. And next I'm gonna add those, um, flying drips, hero, this one. So here, I'm gonna You can see there on what? Backgrounds are really easy to select magic wand under white background, make sure continuous selective and create an inverted later mosque with all and clicking on this layer mask icon. I'm not going to refine the edges that they said, I'm gonna apply the little mosque and just copy maybe this one with a lasso tool when a crop it and based it right over here. I'm gonna placed it under the model. So I'm gonna create a new layer with control Quick will create the layers underneath and would control V. I'm gonna base that. So I will do something like this. Maybe even smaller, like so And now I want to turn this white the same as these ones over here, and that's really easy to do. What do you have to do? Is press control, Manute or use? I'll use an adjustment layer. Let's use an adjustment layer for a non destructive working. I'm gonna clip it with salt control old and quick between the two layers. And now this adjustment will only effect this bottom layer which I'm gonna name great one. I don't know that name Correct, But anyways so what have to do is just colorize reduce the saturation and increase the lightness. It's the first adjustment now have to create the curves, adjustment or levels you can use level as well. When I put it on top of the saturation of the hue saturation, you can see both of them are clipped to that layer. So I only affect this letter. And now I can move this, especially the mid tones meet tones and highlights a bit on with the dark. So you increase the contrast on that on. That's how you can create this white sheets or whatever you wanna call them. OK, and now let's do the same with another one. I think this one could look nice. I'm gonna crop this one on, put it on my canvas, and I could actually use the same since I'm using for shop cc on, I think, in photo shops. Yes, it's walking. I'm not sure. I don't know if you can do what I'm about to do in four shops here. Six. But I'm gonna show you. Let me flip it vertically. Maybe so What I can do is I can take advantage and use this to adjustments for both. Laters. One thing you can do is if you cannot do what I'm about to do. What you can do is select both of them, merge them and use this to as clipping masks like this. So So, like both of them. First, make sure they're on the place where you want TEM Press Control Man e to merge both layers . Since first I have to unclip this, uh, this adjustments and select both layers control e to merge them. And now it's a single there. OK, And you can use this clipping this clip masks and now you can reveal both of them and you don't have to create two layers since I'm using photo shop CSC. See? See, What I can do is and I want to preserve the editing capabilities and be able to move them around as I want. I can like both of them, grouped them in this sheets and now I can creep this adjustment layers to the group. Okay, so in four shops, you see you can creep adjustments to groups and that where you will affect everything that it's inside that group on. The advantage that I have now is that I can move this around whatever you want, because they're not merged. Great. Now let's move on. Maybe there to, um, to white, they don't really match the same the color. So what I could do is actually and some saturation and she's have this to colorize. I can move this, have a slight magenta tone to them. So I can I can get that more lass and with the curves I can with levels I can I can get the same tune. So just some fine tuning to get the same don't and the same, um, the same contrast. Great. Now let's move on and start adding some shadows on a few more details, and then we'll create the final adjustments for the shadows. I'm gonna create it right here under everything above the sky with a new layer. Name it Shadows. You can see. I did not organ on organized anything here into groups. I should have done that, but let's work a bit quicker here, So I'm gonna drug capacity to 40% and the flow to 30 and I'm gonna use the graphics tablet through this. I wanna activate the transfer and put it on Pam pressure. I will use a soft brush, and I'm gonna start creating the shadows for the shell over here. This painting, like that on create a stronger shadow right there where it touches the ground and then soft shadow like this around. You can do this with the mouse as well. Simply drop drop capacity to 20. And the floor about to about 10 and make multiple passes. And here, right here, when it touches the ground, just think a bit more. And that's that's pretty much it is. Really is really that easy? Okay, I'm here for the this part Over here, I have two great another layer. Because if I paint right over here, you can see it's nothing is visible because this layer is under the shell and I have to paint the shadow over the shell. So have degrade another shadow layer right here. And I'm gonna name it, shuttled to, and I'm gonna paint right here. But you can see if I pain right here, also paint over the plant itself, which is not what I want. So what I will do is use the selection off the plant of this leave right there. And if I paint now, I will only paint over that area and I want the opposite. So what I will do is go to select in verse or use the keyboard shortcuts. And now I can safely paint and I will only paint over there. Now if I want to keep the selection inside the shell alone and outside this leaf. What I can do is also add the selection off the shell here. And so what I have to do is press control and you can see the cursor changes. I have this square here, which means I will add this. But I will diss elect the plan, which is not one of one. So I have to press control all and also shift because I want to multiply the selection and check this out. Now I can paint over here like that. So these are tricks on, and you should learn this will make your working, uh, flow a bit. Um, we'll handle workflow. Okay, I'm gonna undo because I painted a horrible shadow over there. It is not the best shadow in the world, but I just wanted to show you how to make a selection, actually, and that's I'm gonna leave it like that. It's better than nothing, but this one looks a bit better. This is how I painted it here. So that's pretty much it. We can also paint some shadow over here under this flower and, of course, behind the model. Because she's supposed to cast some shadow over there and also another shadow here on the plant shadow. Cast it over the woman's skin so I can create a new layer. This one. I'm gonna clip it to the woman that we don't have to care about selections. I can paint like that. And this it will be kept over this woman's body on Lee. So now I'm gonna paint the shadow right over here with this itself. Brush. We're right over there. Okay, Now let's deal with the woman's hair. You can leave her like that if you like her. But I wanted to add some hair here. I think it's looking a lot better and I used another stock image for that. I'm gonna open it so you can see which one I used. It's this one. Luckily, she's on a solid color background. That's why I got this stock image, because it's a lot easier to extract. And in order to get rid of the background, what I will do is go to channels. So, like the Blue Channel, because actually, the green also gives me a lot more contrast. But I think the blue one is better and I'm gonna use the calculations method because it's quicker. And let's try emerging with the Red Channel and use a subtract or and not good, this one. It's almost nice. Um, let's try the Blue Channel and multiply it with himself on click. OK, and now let use levels on this new Alpha Channel on increase the levels like that. No, I'm gonna live it like this. Probably I will retouch it. But this is enough for what I need. So I'm gonna control quick on this Alfa Channel, make the selection. So, like the RGB, go back two layers and create the layer mosque. I don't have to invent it, and it's a quick selection, but it's what I need. I don't need more than that. I mean, it's like the move to with the Wiki, and I'm gonna move this to my canvas right over here concedes huge compared to my model. So I'm gonna now drag this under under the model and I'll convert it into a smart object. Or not yet. Let's make it a bit smaller. And now I'm gonna convert that into a smart object. It looks like the letter. Maas, uh, it's not there anymore. But if I opened this more object, I will be able to manipulate it if I want to. And basically, what I want to do now is fit the size about there. I think that looks good enough there. And now I'm gonna create another mosque and paint back the woman paint away the body of the woman on oops, this area as well. Now I can double coherent, added the little mosque if I want, as I said, and I can use the levels too, increase, um, to retouch this actually like that, OK, And recover some of the, uh, some of the details and click. Okay, save it and this will update my hair over him. This is how it added the hair off the woman off course I had to paint. Um, do paint even more hair around there. I'm gonna do that in just a second. But first I want to add some shadow. I'm gonna name this hair. Check it out. I think it looks a lot better with it than without. It probably should have left it a bit longer on the bigger But anyways, now I want to create a new layer on top of the hair. I'm gonna clip it and I will paint with the brush with the 50 and 20 capacity and flew. Just paint some shadow here. Okay? Right over there. E think it looks better gives with more depth, and it makes it look a bit more realistic on the model. There later, Mosque. I will get rid of some of the hair around here. What is this? Same, uh, brush not that soft and maybe 100% opacity and flow on. This is a technique that I use. Let me unchecked transfer. This is a technique that I used on other tutorials that I have to create hair. Something a bit softer, just soft on the edges a bit with this brush, and then use the one pixel brush hard brush. And if you have a graphics tablet, it will be a lot easier. Create the new layer under the model above the the other hair. Or actually, you can put it below If you want right there. And just paint like that. Um, you can create a custom brush. I'm not gonna do that. Uh, because it's gonna be really long, Long tutorial on why So I can create the brush with a few strokes like that and then paint with that instead of painting with just one and creating one here at a time. You can create four or five at a time, and it's gonna be a bit quicker. Okay. Something like that. Just a few hairs. Um, flying around. I in this case, it looks pretty horrible, actually. But anyways, um, here I can see this line. I don't know if it's from this plant over here. I think it is. Yes. So be careful when you're great. Later. Mosque. Sometimes you will see this line over here. Be careful and remove it, especially before you print stuff. Pay attention to this kind of details because you don't want to drink an image and spend your money, and then you'll notice that you have that line there. Okay, that's how I added the here. It's pretty simple. Um, what else? I think I added some other details, like some, uh, battles as you can. I'm going to show you that I used this stock image, and basically I grabbed a few battles from here. Um, I should have grouped staff. There's now it's first, I have to remove the background. So click on the white background with the with a magic wand and then used a lasso, too, and select stuff from here and copied there one by one is it's a time consuming process, but that's what it is. Have to be patient. So go to filter, blur and shoes. Gaussian blur or use the Blur Gallery when you use the girls in blue because it's a big, quicker to render and just throw it out of focus. A bit on. This will be more depth to your image. I'm gonna fast forward a bit here. I just I will just have a few ones on. That's it. Okay, I'm not gonna add any other. I think that's enough. And what else? That's smooth and a bit the skin. I'm gonna group this, players. This one Andi is once I'm going to group them and I'm gonna name this petals. I'm gonna hide it for a second. Because what I want to do is merge everything that I have here. So I'm gonna press shift. All command E Oregon Press Control Command A. This was like the entire canvas. Good. Adit copy. Merged or copy? Special copy merged and then paste on nuclear. And what I would do with this is I would go to filter and choose stylized and choose oil paint. But in my case, I don't know why this filter is not working in photo shops. You see, I think I have I don't have the right drivers or something. I'm not sure, but it's not working. So what I have to do is go into photo shops here six, which I I did not uninstall because I the only purpose what I have four shops here six is to use is because I want to use them. This filter is the only way I can use it. So I'm gonna go to copy, merged. Go to four shops, CSX create a new document and paste it here and go to filter and choose oil paint. I don't know why in for shop CS six it works, but in full shops CC, there's no way I can make it work. I tried installing drivers, but is not working, so I don't know. I'm not sure why it's not working. And But anyways, what I do here is I smooth and the image like this. But before I apply this filter, actually, what I usually do is I use on I smoothed in the image using the surface blur. So goto filter, blur and choose surfaced Blur like this. This will smooth the skin, and the oil pain filter will be applied a lot better. So let's see the settings that I need here. I'm looking at this area. Maybe threshold off 12 or 15. See what what that does. Okay, I'm gonna leave it like that. I think it's OK. And now I'm gonna apply the oil paint filter. Make sure you reduce the shine to zero, and I don't know if you noticed. If you didn't notice, just go back a bit. In the video, you will see that the face here, the skin is a lot smoother. Now, after applying the the surface blur, I'm gonna click. OK, you can see that many of the details are not usable at all, but you can see the skin here, let me apply to filter, and then I will undo the skin. Uh, see what? Have a history? Um, the skin is a lot smoother. That noise is no longer there. Okay. For that noise that you that you saw there is no longer there. As you can see, one thing that you should notice is that it also drops a bit. The highlights highlights so press controlled man l and you can see this gap here. You have to bring that back to where it was. Okay. I'm gonna crop the image and go back to my document on photo shop CC and based it over here . Okay, So have the same version, but a lot smoother. I only need this smooth version over the skin. But luckily a have the woman here so I can use the selection control click the woman and go back to my smooth version and create the little mosque. And now this smooth version is only visible over the woman. It's too strong. Okay, so we have to drop it, drop their passage. Let's do it at 75 percent so we can see some of the original texture. And with the brush, I'm gonna paint over the eyes and lips to get rid of the effect entirely over those areas. So pain with black to recover the details over her eyes, eyebrows and lips, and all the areas where we need to have the detail as sharp as possible. Also, the eyelashes and parts of her years as well. And here on the nose. Okay, so take a look before and after. If it's too small, just dropped capacity even more. If you want some of that smoothness to be visible over the image because you can see because of this letter mosque, I'm restricting this effect only over the woman. If you still want to see some of that smoothness over the rest of the image, you can open the layer mask properties, and depending on your first half version, you have you will see this density setting. I'm gonna open the layer mask on on the whole camera so you can see what I'm doing. And if you decrease the density, you will change the color of the later mosque. Essentially, you're you're turning in gray. Which means some of this effect will be visible over the image. So if I said it to 50% basically, I'm tending telling for shop that and 1 50% off that fact to be visible over the entire image. So it's like dropping the opacity of the letter mosque. Okay, I'm gonna leave it at 85. So have some of that smoothness, or actually, even 90. I have just a bit of that smoothness that 10% on the image. Okay, we're almost done. Um, but one thing I want to do is over the woman. I want to have more lights. I'm gonna use a curves adjustment. I should have done it before, but I forgot to do it, and I will. I can actually, I think I can click this. Let's see. Yep. Terrific to that layer And just increase a bagel. Lightness on her body. Not every is not necessary on. We don't need this light all over her body. Eso I'm gonna invite the leader mosque and just paint with white to where I want that effect. One other thing that you should keep in mind is this Ivy plant here. We don't need that smooth effect. So I'm gonna control Could the Ivy plan to select it and go here to this smuggler and Phil ? Actually, I'm not gonna feel with black. I'm just gonna paint with black Onley over this areas over here like that. Because if I feel it with black, I will also fill with blood this area, which is not what I want. I'm just gonna paint manually with the brush. OK, let's go back to the curse later Mosque And I want to add more brightness on some areas with the brush I'm gonna paint with light. Oops. I want to use a soft brush for this and I will activate yet the transfer option. So basically off there and also on this leg of their and her her feet hopes something like that I think it looks better. And also on this sheets over here. I want to make them be brighter. And I'm gonna drop the density to add some of that light. Um, on whole image. Okay. I think we can live it here we can. We can. And now the final adjustments. So let's reveal that layer again. One other thing that I forgot at is those blurred pearls over here. What I did actually is I use the same image of the shell this one on create around selection around this. You can create this with all than shift to create a to constrain, to create a perfect circle like this. And just copy that while actually control. See? And I'm gonna go back and face it on top. Oops. Looks like I did not copy that directly. So let's do it again. All quick. This I I can't hide all there's except this one all control on. I have You have to have this layer selected. I wasn't you. It will not copy what you have selected. Okay? And now it should work. Control V on. We're done. Okay. And just create a few copies of this. Change the sizes and move them randomly. Cross your image. Maybe someone one of them there a smaller one around here on this one over there. Maybe I don't know there, and I'm gonna blur them with Learned Dallas in Bloom one over there. This one would control quick against. Like you can see. I don't know which layer belongs to which object here. So I'm with the move toe control. Click and you will select that later. And I go to filter blur this one. I'm gonna blow a bit more. Yes, double the amount. And this one Probably a bit. Last filter, blur and choose Galilean Blur. I'm blurry. A little less on and probably move this. I think it's too big. I'm gonna make just to be smaller. I'm gonna leave you there. Okay? I'm gonna leave like this. I'm not gonna add anything else. You can. I think I did also starfish around there and some other stuff. Yeah, well, here. But that's really up to you. Okay, let's create the final adjustments. Let's start with the curves adjustment. I just wanted to have more light off the whole image. Like so in a little more contrast. This is really depends on how you got the rest of the image, but if necessary, had this curve, lier and moral, more life on the image and probably a bit more of blue clear, sort of a split on effect Really subtle, something really just a touch of effect. And then I will added by you can also use brightness and contrast if you don't want to use curves. If you're not good at using Cruise and I'm at the vibrance on, just increase the vibrance just a bit on the situation slightly. And now I'm gonna emerge everything and use the camera raw filter. So I'm gonna go impressed.
