Hadn’t seen that one before. Thanks Nicole!
Nice tip Nicole. Even I can do this one.
I love these short Photoshop tips! Thanks so much for making these :)
Ha! I was just thinking about your original video of your husband smoking a cigar last night. I’ve been meaning to watch it again! Thanks, Nicole!
P.S. I love it when you’re on TWIP! Tell Frederick to have you on more often.
P.S.S. I had issues with your CAPTCHA. It displayed FEN3, but the audio said M47U.
[...] The image above is the photo straight out-of-the-camera (left) and edited version (right). It was photographed with window-light on the right and a large silver reflector on the left to fill in shadows. My editing on this was very simple: I corrected the white-balance in Adobe Lightroom (from the RAW file), then used a levels adjustment layer for the tones, a separate levels layer for color, and added a reduced-opacity B&W overlay layer to add some contrast (you can learn how to do that last step here). [...]
I use a similar technique where I just duplicate a layer and switch to overlay. Then I use a layer mask to create a vignette with the gradient tool.
This has an interesting subtlety to it.
