YOYEIS go there:
Open file. You can open both independently and then drag the image from one to another file, or open the other image one as open as layers
.
With the two images in the same file will proceed to climb, climb here (ie the increase) layer of the girl (Marion Cotillard) and negatively (decreasing) the cute kitty.
The reference we take is that the eyes match in size (more or less) and are in as close perspective. A cat image I have reduced the opacity to better align colocarla.Para cat image I have rotated a little coat.
We
cat layer in multiply mode (I have several duplicates of the cat's coat if needed to use them to not be loading the image again and having to climb again if we need the employees but the delete).
Now Copy the Background layer
the add layer mask
: cl ick
right mouse button on that layer, add layer mask selected and the menu appears, select black total transparency and we will add. If you want to look at you this tutorial on the Layer Mask Layer Mask
application to work now with the layer mask we have to go to the toolbox
:
- Select a brush with feathered edges
.
-
Select white as foreground color (FG) . May use a medium gray, but at different sites reviewed by colours.The other color would we act, here in this mask, as the opacity, lighter to darker equals more transparency less transparency.
-
If we are wrong, we as black as FG and we erase what emerges from the mask. (layer mask applied) ;
(We paint on the face for the traits they emerge cat) (so far as we could apply the layer mask)
(and you should see it in the Layers dialog) At this point, you can hardly work on the layer mask, only with levels and curves, in colors.
click on Copy bd Fund and the menu layer mask to apply and obtain: (This is the result of applying layer mask) As the mask we obtained does not cover the entire face of Marion (part of the forehead and chin), we will have to add more material gatuno.Podriamos use some of the copies made before, move and to locate and enhance the same process of adding mask CAPA this case I think it's more comfortable the use of clone stamp .
The clone stamp:
- I used the same brush
- Set the cruise of the tool over the area you want to clone . Das bi + Ctrl click and you set the area depending on the size brush.
- Vas placing the cruise and clicking going on and playing in the area.
- I've applied radially in the chin area.
- At the front a bit following the drawing of the cat's skin.
- To trim the edges we can use the eraser quietly as we are working on transparent layer.
I renamed the layers and I will create other transparent color picture elements: nose, lips, eyes and hair.
The three transparent and clear so soft . (In the picture and see the colors applied)
In lip nose: either choose a color palette or select it with the dropper in the gato.Con the paint brush on the lips and the bottom of the nose (nasal tip and edges).
In what mismo.No paint eyes on the pupil.

With
hair as much as we have applied mismo.Le, after painting
Gaussian blur of 100 px in y At this point we have completed the main thing.
You'll notice that the hair has a shine and other zonas.Se rare due to the image itself and scaling. We can apply
Marion levels and mitigate this effect.
We have two options: Merge all layers and merge visible layers
(click bd on hair, down the menu, and expanded as needed) or make new layer visible
(idem, but higher in the menu or menu from New Layer Visible). I'll do the latter, because so I can preserve the file and I'll hang it on the net if you want to study).
Now comes the artistic side of the matter hand: Let's give some light and shade.
we do it with the branding tool (Photoshop Dodge and Burn), but I often do not convince me and I have practiced little with it. We will use
underexpose (clear) and overexpose (darken) the pincel.Y have two options:
a) use white, with brush in bleach mode (burning) and black on black mode (dodging). All of these selections are made in the tool menu:
b) The other option is the same, only with the dropper select uncolor the cat's fur, and we applied for zones: zone bleaching lights, black shadow area. We can switch
brush sizes as needed.
Very important: You must ensure the use of low levels of opacity, between 4 and 30%.
In reviewing the effect is highlighted I will make a light application of both cosas.Pero you who will customize your effect to your liking:
Well I hope
it is useful for the bricks I've done.
