Introduction: Creative Photo Manipulation 01
Today i'm going to show you how to make gothic and old-looking image in few simple steps using creativemarket goods.
Step 1: Required Resources:
Photos&Tools:
Renaissance Woman Stands on Hill "A redheaded girl in Renaissance attire stands on a rocky hill." - Great and atmospheric photo by Will Milne
Paper textures "Handy collection of hi-res crumbled and folded paper scans." - Nice collection of very useful textures by Vítek Prchal
ROUGH EDGES "Set of rough-edges to use in your designs." - Very creative and useful set which can be used in great number of your design projects by Jimmy Breen
Vintage Effects Set 2 "Pack of instant original effects for your photos" - Set of creative instant filters for photoshop which will help you to add authentic look to your photos in few clicks by CharlesPerrault
Don't forget to visit these awesome stores ;)
Software:
Adobe photoshop CS 3+
Step 2: Open Psd. File
Open psd. file from "Vintage Effects Second Set"
Step 3: Vintage Chalk Effect
Place a photo (File-Place) inside the first folder (Chalk) and make all effects in this layer visible. Resize it to borders (Edit-transform) and don't forget to keep the proportion of one to one (Displayed as a percentage in the top panel).
Step 4: Gradient Overlay Effect
Go to layer "Extra Gradient Overlays" and make "Extra Gradient Map 07" visible
Step 5: Paper Texture Overlaying
Now place "12" jpg. file from paper textures above other layers, rotate it to 90, resize to borders and change blending mode to "multiply"
Step 6: Rough Edges
Place "inst_vint_rough_edges_01" file under our photography layer. Resize it and rotate to 90.
And final steps: right click on our photography layer and click on "Create Clipping Mask".
So, our image is ready! :)
This is how our image will look like after all manipulation listed above.
