Next, input the following settings for the Brush tool (B):

  • Brush size: 250px
  • Hardness: Default
  • Opacity: 50%
  • Flow: 100%
  • #: 000000

The result:

Step 9: Enhance the Image’s Feel using Textures

Now, we will add a texture to our image to enhance the feel and the color as well. To start, open “Paper Texture 1” by wojtar stock. Once open, activate the Move tool (V) and then drag this texture to our canvas. Make sure to put it above all the layers and groups that we’ve created.

Position and move the texture as shown on the image below:

image086

Next, activate the Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd + T) and resize the texture as shown below:

image087

Now, we will change the Blending mode of the texture to enhance its overall feel. Let’s do that by left-clicking on “Normal” from the Layer window and then change it to “Soft Light”. See images below:

Next, change the Opacity to 40%.

The result of the 40% Soft Light blending mode should be similar to this:

Step 10: Enhance the Overall Color of the Image

Now, in this Step we will be giving the overall image a retouch. To start, let’s create a Solid Color adjustment layer. To do that, first click on the “Create New Fill/Adjustment layer button”.

Once this button opens, click on “Solid Color”.

Now, input the following on the Solid Color # box:

  • #: 000031
image093

Now, change the Blending mode and Opacity of those layers to the following:

  • Blending Mode: Exclusion
  • Opacity: 40%
image094

Next, let’s create another Solid Color adjustment layer from the “Create New Fill/Adjustment layer button”.

This time, input the following:

  • #: 573814
image095

Change the Blending mode and Opacity to the following:

  • Blending mode: Soft Light
  • Opacity: 40%
image096

Next, let’s create an Exposure adjustment layer from the Create New Fill/Adjustment layer button.

image097

When it opens, input the following:

  • Exposure: 0.00
  • Offset: +0.0015
  • Gamma Correction: 1.20
image098

Next, let’s create a Photo Filter adjustment layer.

image099

Once open, choose the following filter:

    Thank you so much for this great tutorial explaining every step without having the student loose track of what happened between step 1 and 2…
    I made this picture with a picture of myself, and I really learned something about exposure and adjusting lighting in cut in objects! Thanks a lot!
    If you want me to send my picture to you, just let me know.
