Step 1
Start by opening the photo into Photoshop. To open an image, go to File > Open. If you’ll be using the same image we used, we recommend downloading the highest resolution image because we will be cropping it in the middle of the tutorial.
Step 2
Right-click on the layer then click Convert to Smart Object. This will convert the layer into a Smart Object which lets us manipulate the image non-destructively.
Step 3
Before we start, we’re going to add a black layer below the photo layer. To do this, go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color. Select black as the color then click OK.
Step 4
In the Layers palette (Window > Layers), drag the Color Fill layer to the bottom. Rename the top layer to Photo and bottom layer to Background. To rename a layer, double-click on the text of the layer you want to rename.
Step 5
To begin, we’ll add a gritty photo effect with adjustment layers and filters. Start by adding a Black & White adjustment layer (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Black & White) then change the blending mode of this layer to Overlay. Feel free to play around with the settings in the Properties panel (Window > Properties). This is an easy way of adding a grungy lighting effect and you can try it with your other photos.
Step 6
Next, add a Vibrance adjustment layer (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Vibrance). Reduce vibrance setting until it just has a hint of color.
Here’s what our image looks like after reducing the vibrance setting.
Step 7
The adjustment layers gave it a grungy lighting effect but it also hides the detail and makes the background even darker. We don’t want to the photo to be too dark because it can blend in with the black background and make the stripes not very visible. To fix this, we’re going to apply a Shadows/Highlights adjustment. In the Layers panel, select the Photo layer then go to Image > Adjustments > Shadows/Highlights. Set the shadows to around 35% and highlights to around 15% then click OK.
