Girl Photo Manipulation
July 31st, 2009 by ART-D Posted in Adobe Photoshop, Photo Editing
Download a set of brushes for Adobe Photoshop, named: bloodbrushes2_invaynestock.
Create after that a new layer and apply a brush out of the downloaded set. The brushes have white color. Place this layer lower than the very first layer of the girl.
Make a copy of the very first girl’s layer and choose Free Transform option to turn over the copy, placing it as below:
Click on the same layer on the bottom part of the layers’ panel on Add a Mask selection and choose a standard brush of black color (Opacity 20%) to clean out smoothly the reflection.
Now we have to represent several lines, but for the beginning draw their paths. In this case we’ll apply the Pen Tool (P) (Path mode)
Next we’ll create a new layer, select a standard brush of white color (Diameter 9, Hardness 100%). Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the lines and then change the instrument with the Pen Tool (P) and make a right click on the marked line to select Stroke Path (Brush mode). Place the layer with the lines lower than the girl’s layers (on the layers’ panel).
Click on the same layer on the bottom part of the layers’ panel on Add a Mask selection and choose a standard brush of black color (Opacity 40%) to clean out the lines the same way demonstrated below:
Set the next parameters for the made layer: Fill 63%, Blending mode-Overlay
Make a copy of the layer containing the lines and move of the layer’s mask, applying the next option: Filter>Blur>Gaussian blur
The layer’s parameters: Blending mode-Overlay
Create a new layer and select on it a standard brush of white color to represent a lot of dots.
The layer’s parameters: Blending mode-Overlay
Make a copy of the last made layer with the dots and choose for this layer the next demonstrated parameters: Fill 70%, Blending mode-Soft Light
The final result!

Hmm, nice idea and I managed to assemble everything required. But the instructions were not that easy to understand, especially at the beginning with the layers.

I can’t get the gradient tool to go from black to transparent, it just stays black, help?

Very nice tut
Learned a lot, though it took me a lot of time to do the layer because I didn’t understand them immediately :/ If they were easier it would have been a relief to most of the users trying to do it 
Especially for ones like me, a beginner.
Also it took me a long time to figure out that the mode used was CYMK not RGB….

Thanks for the tut. I can’t seem to get the blend-option overlay right.
When I change the layers from normal to overlay .. everything turns black. Am I doing it wrong?
