It is not always possible to combine several elements in a camera frame at once. But there is always a chance to modify the resulting photo, and add whatever you want to it. In today's tutorial, you can learn how to make a funny photo montage and turn an ordinary photo into an artist's masterpiece! And for this you will need nothing at all: high-quality photography, Adobe Photoshop CS2 and a little patience.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a photo that is good and of high quality, about 2500x1800 in size, with clear details and good color reproduction.
Step 2
From the Image menu choose Adjustements - Shadow / Highlight. Now, moving the levers, make the tone of the photo lighter, remove unnecessary shadows, too sharp transitions.
Step 3
In the Adjustements menu, apply a Photo filter, go to the Filter menu and apply a Watercolor filter. Blur the edges of the image with the Blur Tool. Use a soft eraser to erase the sharp edges of the photo.
Step 4
Now we need to create a new document. To do this, go to the File - New menu. Make this new document about the same size as the previous one. Copy the first image and paste into this new document, and fill the background of the new document with a slightly yellowish tint to get the effect of watercolor paper. Connect the layers with the command Ctrl + E.
Step 5
Create a new file again. On the Internet, find an image of a suitable easel, preferably in
Step 6
On the easel, you need to create a realistic sheet of paper. First, mark a dot at the top of the sheet with a soft-edged brush. Place a shadow under it - this will be a button. Now select the Distort tool (you can call it by pressing Shift + Ctrl + x) and "fold" the corners of the paper. Adjust the shadows to achieve a realistic result. Select the Dodge Tool (Lightening) and add penumbra to it.
Step 7
Create a new file again, larger than all the others. On it you will collect the picture.
Step 8
Find an image of a jar with brushes, again, preferably in
Find an image of a picture frame on a white background, cut along the contour. She, too, will go into action.
Search the internet for an image of a person sitting sideways with one hand on one knee. We only need that part of it where there is a knee and a hand on it. This will be our artist.
For the background, you can use the image of bookshelves. You can take a few more decorative elements - a globe, for example.
Step 9
Now we need to put our picture together. First add the background - the bookshelves. Diversify them with some decorative elements - pictures, ancient masks - in general, so that you get the atmosphere of a creative workshop.
Step 10
Next, add an image of the easel, on the easel using the Transform tool, place the picture so that the planes coincide. Then add an artist image to the side. Try to arrange all the details so that the picture looks realistic.
Step 11
Add decorative elements - frames, pictures in the background. Place the jar of brushes in the foreground. For each layer, adjust the brightness and contrast so that they fit well.
Your picture is ready! With such a funny montage, you can please some of your friends and relatives.
