Before and After: Photoshop Tutorial on Digital Backgrounds
The videos from yesterday did not disappoint. I think this is an edit even someone fairly new to Photoshop could tackle. I did not use the magic wand tool as was suggested in the Phlearn video just b/c I am more comfortable with the Quick Selection Tool. I did use the Refinement Brush for the wisps of hair as was suggested and otherwise followed the tutorials as outlined. I got the digital background I used for these from one I had on file, but I believe it was from www.squijoo.com. After pasting in the digital background and sizing it appropriately, I added some color saturation, hue adjustments and finally a little bit of Gaussian Blur, more specific detail below. Photoshop makes the possibilities endless!!
