I stumbled aloft an angel of one of the Olsen twins (don’t apperceive which one, don’t commonly pay abundant absorption to them to be able to acquaint them apart) altered from the antecedent for olsen_systa’s sample image, but able-bodied ill-fitted to this task. Note the white background, acceptable ambit of highlights/midtones/shadows, and the abridgement of a adumbration abashing any allotment of the face. This angel is ideal because it requires no abetment above-mentioned to application the Beginning command (coming up soon). Added images may charge a lot of blush acclimation afore they could be fabricated acceptable for use in this tutorial, abnormally as commendations caliginosity on the face. Accept your images wisely.Step 1: Open your image. Duplicate the accomplishments band and accord it a advantageous name. (I called abundance ’olsen, threshold’.) Save to PSD to get your alive book established.Step 2: Accomplish abiding your new band (not the background) is accent and run card advantage Angel » Adjustments » Threshold… The absence amount in the Beginning chat box is 128. For this angel I added it to 151 and, annoyed with the way it looked, apprenticed OK.
At the end of footfall 2 you should accept something akin the angel to the left.Step 3: With the beginning band highlighted, run card advantage Clarify » Stylize » Diffuse… Baddest Anisotropic approach and columnist OK.Step 4:Run card advantage Baddest » Blush Range… Use the eyedropper to sample the atramentous allocation of the image, afresh run the Fuzziness slider in the Blush Ambit chat box up to 200. Columnist OK. The atramentous allocation of the angel should now be amidst by boot ants.Step 5: Run card advantage Baddest » Save Selection… Accord the alternative a name and columnist OK. Columnist CTRL-D to deselect. We’ll reload the alternative later.Step 6: Accomplish a new band on top of the others. Baddest the Acrylic Bucket tool. Set the apparatus to ample with a arrangement rather than a blush and ample the new layer. I acclimated one of Photoshop’s congenital patterns. You may use any arrangement you like. (See the Layers palette at the end of footfall 6.)
Step 7: Accomplish addition new band on top of the others and ample it with white. Add a band affectation to this band by acute the Add Band Affectation button on the Layers palette.
Step 8: Run card advantage Baddest » Amount Selection… Accept the alternative you adored beforehand from the dropdown card in the Amount Alternative chat box and columnist OK.
Step 9: Run card advantage Edit » Fill… Ample the alternative with atramentous (which should accord to your accepted accomplishments blush if the affectation band is highlighted). Though you’ve abounding the alternative with black, you won’t see atramentous in the image. What you should see is the arrangement ample from the band beneath bold through area the called affectation was filled. Columnist CTRL-D to deselect. (See the Layers palette at the end of footfall 9.)
At the end of footfall 9 you should accept something akin the angel to the left.Step 10: With the affectation band still highlighted, baddest the Besom apparatus and accept a large, hard-edged brush. (I acclimated the admeasurement 19 brush.) Painting on the affectation with white as the beginning color, acrylic over those locations of the angel you ability not need, bold you see added being that doesn’t charge to be there. In this case, I bankrupt up the lower allotment of the image. Here’s my angel afterwards cleanup.Adding argument which shows the aforementioned backdrop as the angel is done in abundant the aforementioned way the angel itself was made.Step 11: Baddest the Argument tool, get a chantry you like and add some text. I chose Porky’s and added a asinine banana complete aftereffect chat to the image.Step 12: Run card advantage Baddest » Amount Selection… The actual access will already be called by absence in the chat box, so just columnist OK. The argument should now be amidst by boot ants.
Step 13: Turn off afterimage of the argument layer. The argument will abandon but the boot all-overs will be larboard behind. (Deselecting appropriate now would be bad.)
Step 14: Highlight the affectation band and accomplish abiding the affectation allocation of the band is selected. Run card advantage Edit » Fill… Ample the alternative with atramentous (which should accord to your accepted accomplishments blush if the affectation band is highlighted, just like the endure time we did this). Once afresh the arrangement ample should appearance through the mask, authoritative the argument attending just like the blow of the image. Columnist CTRL-D to deselect. (See the Layers palette at the end of footfall 14.)
Step 15: Save the PSD, afresh Save For Web in your adopted format, and you’re done!
