How to convert Normal Face to Photogenic Face

In this Photoshop Tutorial we will be learning a technique in which you will be able to convert a Normal face into Photogenic face. You must have found a lot of tutotials regarding this, but here we will discuss a different technique. We will also learn How to clean any picture by using a different and very simple technique. This would be really helpful for those who are in photography field.
We have chosen this picture on which we would be working on, after opening this picture, press Ctrl+J to duplicate it so we will be saving the original for comparing it with our final result in the last:
1. First of all we would be cleaning the skin by removing stains and wrinkles using some different and easy techniques. Run the command Image > Adjustment > Levels command or simply press Ctrl+L to open Level box and give the following settings:
After hitting OK our picture will look like this:
2. Now run the command Image > Adjustment > Brightness Contrast and give the following settings:
After hitting OK our picture will look like this:
3. Its time to pick Pen tool and select different parts of Forehead, Cheeks, Nose and Chin but before converting the path into selection, don’t forget to give 10px in the radius so you should have selection like this:
4. Run the command Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and give 2 in the radius (don’t give number greater than 2) and hit OK but don’t un-select it, remain the selection on:
5. Here is the technical part which requires your skills, you now have to pick Smudge tool and change the Strength (from top Property Panel) to 10%, now you have to use Smudge tool on different parts of the face but don’t use more than twice on same place so you should have picture like this:
6. Press Ctrl+J 3 times to duplicate the picture, leave the original picture and select the first duplicated layer, go to Layer Panel and change the blending mode from Normal to Soft light and reduce the opacity of the layer to 25%:
7. Select the second duplicated layer and change the blending mode from Normal to Soft Light, but don’t change the opacity of the layer this time, run the command Filter > Blur > Guassian Blur and give 10 in feather radius:
8. Now select the third duplicated layer and change the blending mode from Normal to Soft Light and reduce the opacity to 50% as:
9. Now create new layer on top of all layers and fill it with #bead72 color and change the blending mode from Normal to Overlay and reduce the opacity to 32%, so picture will look like this:
10. Create another new layer on top of all layers and fill it with #c6c0b7 color, the brighter color you will use the more bright the picture would be, change the blending mode of layer from Normal to Soft Light:
11. So here is our final image, I’ve pasted both images at a time so you may have better idea what was the quality of picture and what we have done it. Difference shows clearly on these two pictures. Hopefully you have learn some new techniques by using this tutorial and enjoyed it a lot.

Bring Colors to a normal image

In this tutorial I will show you a non-destructive technique to add vivid colors to your scene, turning it into a spectacular image that can impress your audience easily

Before & After:
Here is the image we will work with

And what we are going to create:

Step 1: Before walking into the main step, we should enhance its brightness and contrast a bit by going to Image>Adjustments>Color Balance. We can find here three options: Shadows, Midtones and Highlights. Adjust each of them as following:



It now looks better:

Step 2: Our scene has three parts: sky, trees and yard. First we will deal with the sky, enhance it by adding blue to the clouds. Use the Pen tool and make a closed path on the sky area, no need to be too exact.

Right click on the sky and choose Make Selection

The path is now changed into a selection (with moving dots)
Step 3: Create a new layer and select the Gradient Tool, set the gradient color from #066caa to white and Reflected Gradient. You should use Reflected Gradient instead of Linear Gradient to enhance its contrast.

Step 4: Press Ctrl-D to deselect the selected area. Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and use a radius of 25.2 pixels

Step 5: Now change the blending mode of this layer to Overlay. This mode keeps the color of your current layer and adding it to the below layer so we can see blue in our sky

Step 6: Repeat this technique (from step 2) with the yard but you should use orange gradient instead of blue gradient. If you feel a bit confused, follow the images below:
+ Make a closed path and turn it into a selection:

+ Add a suitable gradient:

+ Blur it and change the blending mode to Overlay:

Step 7: Repeat this technique one more time with the trees, you should use a small radius of Gaussian Blur



And here is the dreamy result we will acquire:

This technique produces a stunning photo effect without destroying the original background. Its based on Blur effect and Overlay mode. Remember you can easily adjust the colors and brightness in each layer by reducing its Opacity and Fill parameters.
