Steps to make photos into magazine cover effect with photoshop

Method 1:

1. Open the original image and cut and sharpen it appropriately.

2. Use the Color Balance tool to add yellow to the picture to make it look more animated (considering the environment in the forest), and of course it depends on the specific situation.

3. Derailment the picture and sharpen it again after making some necessary modifications, thus improving the clarity of the picture.

4. Use the color code tool to adjust the brightness of the picture.

5. Use the filter to improve the picture saturation, and use the "heating filter" to improve the picture saturation.

6. Decorate the skin, stamp the layer and use the "Stamp" tool to decorate the skin. The mode should be changed to "normal" because we don't need to keep too many textures. To make CG skin feel, it should be as smooth and delicate as possible.

7. adjust the color. Use "optional colors" to adjust the yellow and red in the picture to make it feel delicate.

8. unify the overall tone and slightly reduce the saturation. At this time, you can see that the saturation in the picture is a bit high, and use "hue/saturation" to reduce the overall saturation.

9. Brush out highlights, poke layers, and brush out highlights with the "Deepen/Fade" tool. There are many ways to brush highlights, and you can choose different methods according to the specific situation.

10, use the curve tool to slightly darken the picture, because the picture will be lightened in the previous peeling operation, so it should be appropriately darkened here.

1 1. Use the color balance (halftone) tool to add yellow to characters. This step can make the yellow in the picture look more delicate, and then use the mask to erase the background, because you only need to add yellow to the characters.

12, strengthen the details of eye shadow, cover it with a layer, and brush the eye shadow part with the "Deepening" tool. Note that the hardness of the deepening tool should not exceed 15%, otherwise the eye shadow will be uneven.

13. Render the effect as needed. Here, in order to highlight the animation effect, a mask is painted on the characters. Because the choice is made according to the specific situation, I won't explain it in detail here.

14, dealing with eyelashes, doing eyelashes for characters, because it feels like a fairy tale and has the feeling of an elf, so white eyelashes can bring some small embellishments to the picture.

15, dealing with hair, dealing with hair, can block some shortcomings of the picture.

16, take care of your eyes. Good eyes can make your eyes look more transparent and charming.

17, moderately blur the picture background and highlight the characters. Stamp the layer, "Gaussian blur" it, and then wipe off the face with a mask to reduce its opacity.

18. Repair defects and seal layer. Here, the shoulder strap needs to be repaired. Pay special attention to the overlapping parts with leaves, and it is better to hook them out with a pen to repair them.

19, adjust the color scale and brightness/contrast.

20. Render the overall atmosphere with materials. You can add some materials as needed to make the picture look more dreamy, and finally add text.
