Step 19
I wanted to give the scene a more dramatic look. So I gave strength to the light source. Create a new layer. With the color #d0a945 paint some light over the light source. I used a soft round brush at 40% Opacity. Then set the layer to Overlay with Opacity and Fill at 80%.
Step 20
Now that the light is stronger also the shadow should be stronger. So let’s add some shadow! We will do it for the model layer first and then for the rest of the background. Add a Curves adjustment only for the Model (above the Color Balance one). Drag the Curve down (Output 78; Input 151). Set the Curves to Luminosity. The whole model layer will get darker.
Step 31
We don’t want the curve to effect the whole layer. That’s why we will paint with black on the curves mask where we don’t want the darkness.
Step 32
The shadow isn’t fixed yet. We need more darkness. Add a new layer above the curves one (again only for the model layer). Set the layer to Multiply. Pick the color #2d1708 and paint some shadows in the same area. I did it with a soft brush with Opacity between 20% and 40%. Below you can see where I have painted the shadow.
Step 33
Now we have to fix the shadows in the background. Add a Curves adjustment under the model layer, so that it will affect only the scene in the background. Drag the curve down (Output 111; Input 143). Set the curve to Luminosity. Like before the curve affected the whole scene. The background is now darkened, but we want only one part to be darker. Invert the curve (Mask > Invert) and everything is like it was before. Now with white paint where you want the darkness to appear.
Step 34
Now that the shadows are done let’s add a bit of light on the model. Create a new layer only for the model (Above the one you created for the shadow). Set it to Hard Light with Opacity and Fill at 70%. I picked the color #f6d57b and painted some light on the edges of the model.For the edges of legs you have to pick a darker color because the light doesn’t hit them directly. (Something like #ecb545). Below you can see where I painted the light. (Obviously being the layer bound only to the model, the light won’t go in the background. This is only to show it to you).15 responses to “Create a Romantic and Warm Portrait Photo Manipulation in Photoshop”

Nice i want more tutorial step by step
-
for that “copyright infringement” removal of logo I will not try this exercise as I refuse to use a photograph that is not in the public domain.
Even when it is for “educational” reasons… -
Wow! :(
I normally love your tutorials and you do great work teaching and inspiring.
But just removing a photographers logo??? You do know it is his or her property right? You can’t just “steal” it and remove the logo???! It’s there for a reason.
You as an artistic company should know that and be on the side of the artists and not the big company’s who think they can just use everything they can possibly Google.I’m very very disappointed…

“thanks you so much :hug:”and other artworks with tagremoval he said thank you
safe to assume? -
You didn’t mention whether or not you have permission to remove the photographer’s tag. Apparently you don’t think it is necessary to provide that information. It is strangely important to me.
