How to make a picture get glam-look
Requirements:
- Adobe Photoshop (I use CS3. Please do not pirate Adobe's products)
- General knowledge in how to use the tools in Adobe Photoshop
Difficulty:
-Novice
Explanations:
- If I use singlequotes ( ' ) then it is to mark a tool.
Just thought I should stop by to give you a little hint on how to make a picture more model-ish. ;)
Let's say you have a picture of a girl, just a regular girl, not a model.
It has to be one layer, not several, as in a PSD. If you want to do this to a whole Signature or whatever, just make a new layer and Apply Image.
So here is the trick: Duplicate the layer (drag the layer onto the New Layer button at the Layers-palette). Go to Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur, and set the radius to 5 to 10, depends on how much glam you want it to look. Then set the new layer (which is blurred out) to Overlay, and: Thats it. :p
Here is the result: The only thing I have done to the Original picture, is to add the Gaussian blur and set it to overlay. The whole process took about 1-2 minutes. :D
