Create Constellations Photo Effect|photoshop tips

In this tutorial we we’ll see how is it possible to work with the colors, change
the eyes’ color, make more dynamic the bended grass because of the wind, create
an effect of aquarelle blurring, sun rays and shadows in contrast.Here is the preview:

Open
a photo containing the eye: File ? Open (ctrl+o)

Copy now this layer: Layer ? Duplicate Layer. Next erase the rest of the picture,
using Rectangular Marquee Tool and Delete button.

Correct the colors now, applying next combination: Image ? Adjustments ? Selective
Color.

Create a new layer, applying Layer ? New ? Layer and then choose the Brush Tool
(Hardness must be of 0%) to paint the eyes with a bright color.

Change the layer’s type on Overlay.

Open now a picture demonstrating a high grass and copy it: Edit
? Copy (ctrl+c). Get back to the processed picture’s file, containing
the eye, set it out on a new layer: Edit ? Paste (ctrl+v).

Delete now a picture’s part that shows the sky, applying Magic Wand Tool.

Turn around now the grass’ picture, using next combination: Edit ? Transform
? Flip Vertical. Draw it out a little to create an effect of hair’s presence. Apply
for this Edit ? Transform ? Distort.

Copy now the indicated layer: Layer ? Duplicate Layer and apply to the copy a
special filter (Filter ? Blur ? Motion Blur)

Copy now again the basic layer, containing the grass and place it on the bottom.
Blur it out with the next selection: Filter- Blur ? Gaussian Blur.

Move a little the blurred part closer to the eye, using Move Tool
to hide the irregular grass’ edges.

Merge now all three layers, using next command: Layer ? Merge Down
(ctrl+e). Copy then the new layer that we’ve got and change a little
its color, decolorizing it firstly (Image ? Adjustments ? Desaturate
(shift+ctrl+u)). Increase after that the brightness and the contrast:
Image ? Adjustments ? Brightness/Contrast

Draw it out now, applying the command Edit ? Transform ? Distort.

Change the layer’s type on Multiply.

Choose now the Crop Tool to elongate the picture’s size downwards.
Enlarge now the skin’s surface under the eye, marking it out with
Rectangular Marquee Tool. Copy it now many times, applying: Edit
? Copy (ctrl+c)

Insert on a new layer the picture with the storm
– clouds.

Using Magic Wand Tool, mark out and erase then the sky above the
mentioned clouds. Blur out the clouds’ edges with the instrument
Blur Tool.

Copy now the layer and make use of Filter ? Blur
– Gaussian Blur. Place the copy lower than the clouds’
layer. Merge down these layers.

Give to the sky more texture by inserting one more
photo representing the sky.

Group it with the previous layer, applying Layer ? Create Clipping
Mask (ctrl+g).

Decolorize the layer now and increase its contrast.

Change the layer’s type on Overlay and combine this
layer with that one containing the basic sky. The
new layer’s type change on Linear Burn. We’ll get
an effect of aquarelle patches.

Copy the new made layer and blur it out on the shown direction:
Filter ? Blur ? Motion Blur.

Change again the layer’s type on Overlay. This way
we’ll get an effect of having sun’s rays.

a set of ready brushes representing the clock’s pointers and place
out two pointers on the eye’s pupil, changing the size and the angle,
using Edit ? Free Transform (ctrl+t).

Choose now the Line Tool to represent the figures, picturing them
more than usually.

Change the layer’s type on Overlay.

Create a new layer and apply the Text Tool to choose
the necessary type El&Font!Brush. Picture now separately
as many figures as we have on the clock (in this
case we have 18 ). Apply now Edit ? Free Transform
to situate them on the eye’s cornea on different
angle, but changing the size.

Change the layer’s type on Overlay.

Choose the Crop Tool and Rectangular Tool to represent
the frame.

Next add the shadows in contrast, inserting on the
upper layer such a picture.

Blur it out with Filter ? Blur ?
Motion Blur. Change this layer’s
type on Overlay and minimize the
Opacity till 50%. The eye must be
partly decolorized by applying the
Sponge Tool.

Insert now the pictures of several
insects on a new layer.

Erase the background, marking it firstly with Polygonal
Lasso Tool.

Use the Smudge Tool to paint the
tacks on their backs.

Place the insects on the entire
picture, changing preliminary their
sizes, angle and their placements.
Apply also Filter ? Blur ? Smart
Blur

Get working with
the insects’ color,
using Image ? Adjustments
? Hue/Saturation
(ctrl+u).

Merge now all the layers containing
the insects and copy the new layer.
Apply to it Filter ? Blur ? Radial
Blur.

Place the layer lower than the insects’
layer. Make the eye’s edges look
lighter.

Take the instrument Ellipse Tool
and Gaussian Blur filter to add
several highlights on the insects.
It’s necessary for this to picture
on a single layer small circles
and than this layer must be copied
and blurred out.
