HOW TO CREATE A COLORING BOOK PATTERN OF YOUR FAVORITE PHOTO USING PHOTOSHOP

Somebody e-mailed me wanting to know how it is to create a pattern that looks a lot like a coloring book using Photoshop. Actually there are lots of different ways to do it. But since I like to mix-up things, this is my favorite way!

Here are the steps:

Duplicate the layer of the photo that you have chosen.

Then go to menu FILTER>OTHER>HIGHPASS. You can set it to 13.9 radius. But I suggest that you choose the setting wherein the photo looks as if the edges have a halo like highlight around it. Experiment guys! So, you’ll know what setting works for you.

Go to menu FILTER>STYLIZE>FIND EDGES. You will notice that your photo looks as if the edges have been colorized by different rainbow colors.
Next step is to change the color to black & white by going to IMAGE>ADJUSTMENT>BLACK & WHITE

Now, I want to sharpen the edges more. I do this by going to FILTER>SHARPEN>UNSHARP MASK. For this project I used 50% amount, 53.7 radius, & 0 threshold. But again, these settings are what worked for my photo. I am suggesting again that you play around with the sliders again to see what works for you. However, I suggest that you keep the threshold to zero (0) and then play around with the amount and radius to make the edges “pop-out”.

Now you’re done! If there are unwanted gray or black marks, just paint them using the brush and the white color!

How to apply Eye Make up using Photoshop

HOW TO APPLY EYE MAKE-UP USING PHOTOSHOP

There are many ways to do this, but since this blog is about simple photo editing I would stick to simple ways of doing things to make it easier for our green apples out there.

Step 1: Open the photo that you would like to use. In this tutorial we are going to apply eye make up. So I suggest that you create 1 more blank layer by clicking on the new layers icon. Make sure to rename the new layers so that you don’t get confused. I named my new layer as “eye”.

Step 2: Next, choose the brush and set the hardness to zero to make sure that the color would come out as soft. Also choose the color that you like for the brush.

Step 3: Pick the layer with the label “eye” then start applying make-up on the eyelids. Don’t worry if the whole thing looks like a mess and your model starts looking like a clown. It’s all part of the process. We’re going to arrange it all later.

Step 4: Now, I would like you to go to the layers palette and blending mode for the “eye” layer to soft light.

Step 5: To, give a little bit of definition; you could line the lash line with a darker color of the same shade. But make sure to create another layer for this. Also, make sure to change the blending mode again to soft.

That’s it! Although guys I have to apologize since I am literally not a make-up artist material so my work is kind of sloppy. But I guess the important thing is I showed you the steps. It’s up to you to create a better color combination! Good Luck!

How to Glamorize your photos with these SIMPLE steps

Step 1: Open the photo you would like to glamorize. Make sure to make a copy of the layer, and then choose FILTER>BLUR>GAUSSIAN BLUR. Set the blur play around with the slider until it looks as if it almost ruined.

Step 2: Go to the layers Palette and set the opacity lower until you get the right amount of blur that you like
Step 3: Choose the eraser tool to remove some of the blur in the areas that you would like to maintain the sharpness like the eyes or lips. Make sure to adjust the hardness of the eraser to get the right amount of detail you want to get. The higher the percent of hardness the more sharp the details get.

Sharpening Pictures using Adobe Photoshop

• Open the picture in Photoshop; Duplicate the background layer by dragging the layer towards the new layer icon.

• Change the blend mode from Normal to Overlay
  

• Go to Filter>Other>High Pass then play around with the slider, until you get the right amount of sharpness that you want.
  

• If some parts of the picture looks too grainy (noisy) than you like, double click on the foreground color swatch (encircled in the illustration) to activate the color picker.
  

• For the Hue (H), Saturation (S) & Brightness type in the values:
  H: 0/ S: 0/ B: 0 (Boxed in the illustration) to get a grey color on the foreground swatch.
  
  
• Next, click on the brush tool then paint over the areas of the picture that is too grainy for you. Save when satisfied.
