Browsing through images today, came upon this beautiful stock, so decided i'd do some photoshopping, i really like how it turned how, and would like some good criticism. Edit: Put the text version in the thread and no text version in my sig
well, like the text is kinda distracting, but its better than all the negative space in your sig area. Not digging the reflection because its like making her look like a damn mutant and the whole double focus is kinda bugging me. Good lighting. Could be a litter brighter overall I guess. not into the monotone colors. Did you use gradients or photo filters? You could have a very nice piece if you thought about taking the width down. (IMO) Overall a nice piece.
thank you haha, and i used 5 different gradients and 4 filters haha, it was actually lighter but i felt it was to pasty, thats the reasoning behind the 5 gradients. And i was worried about the other face messing up with the focus, so i might make it less transparent. And ive grown to like negative space, but i can see where there'd be too much in this, and ive never been good at placing or choosing text haha Thanks for the critique!
The upside down image of her to the right is really annoying, too. You could do without that. Looks pretty cool, though. Share some more.
make a new layer and put it on the top. Apply the image. Go to filters -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur go to 10 and press ok. Put it to overlay and you will see a very nice creamy effect. Just play with the opacity of this new layer and experiment. Nice little tut to adding a creamy effect.
