Inspiration #1






From Create a Trendy Typographic Poster Design

HW #4 Retouching


Here are the two models I did. LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE! WOW



And I'm going to use this younger lady below to show my whole process.






First, as always, open the picture. Make a new layer of background.
Find Surface Blur.

Add a mask to it, use a soft brush, make the opacity lower a little bit (about 80%). "White" her face only.


Next, find Dust and Scratches in noise. Same as above, make a mask and select her face only.

Then, to combine the layers together, use COMMAND+ OPT+Shift+E

To make the eyes brighter, we use Curves, click on the black area near her eyes. Make the curve like this.
















At the end, change the Hue/Saturation.

Done!

HW #3


This is the Final Work:


These are the resources:




First: Open the photo on Photoshop, use the Magnetic Lasso Tool.

After you get the "person", copy and paste on the background image. It will change automatically into black and white. 

To make the whole image looks more realistic, change the Saturation or Brightness.

Done!

HW #2 selective color









First, make Saturation to zero.



Add a mask, use a soft brush, "black" the jacket.Change the Hue, mask on the jacket.
