Advanced Picture 5

Turn this:

Into this:


01 First we are going to prep up the image so it looks nice for editing. Duplicate the base layer and sharpen it once.
02 Now take your soften tool

and smooth out Jennifers face. Don't smooth out the edges of her nose, eyes/eyelids or mouth, just the cheeks, forehead, chin, etc. It should look like this:

03 Now take your dodge tool

And dodge Jennifers eyes.
04 Now take your burn tool and burn the areas around her eye. This includes her eyelashes, eyelid and lower eyelid. Overall it should look somewhat like this:

05 Take your dodge tool out again and start dodging Jennifers hair. Don't make it too bright. We want to dodge it enough so there's more color to it. Once you're done it should look somewhat like this:

06 Now go to layers > merge > merge visible
07 Now we can start adding the effects. Make a new raster layer and fill it with the color #0702CA. Set it to exclusion at 26% opacity.
08 Now make a new raster, fill it with the color #FAC154 at 26% on multiply.
09 Now drag the base layer to the top and set it to soft light. It should now look like this:

010 Go to layers > adjustment layers > channel mixer

Match your settings to mine:

011 Set the channeled layer to luminance (l) and you're all done! (add a 4px white border and a 1px grey and some text!)

Hope you learned something useful from this!
