Step 1: Duplicate The Background Layer

As usual, the first step in creating our photo effect is to duplicate the Background layer sothat we don't damage our original image. To do that, go up to the Layermenu at the top

of the screen, choose New, and then choose Layer via Copy. Or, for a much faster way

to duplicate a layer, simply press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+J(Win ! Command+J("ac#

$o to %ayer & ew & %ayer ia )opy.

*ither way tells +hotoshop to create a copy of the Background layer, and if we look in the

%ayers palette, we can see that we now hae two layers. The original image is sitting

safely on the Background layer on the bottom, while a copy of the image is sitting

directly aboe it. +hotoshop has automatically named the new layer %ayer -#

A copy of the image appears on %ayer -, which is now the currently selected layer.

Step : !dd ! "ue#Saturation !d$u%tment Layer

Before we get around to using the issole blend mode, let's first conert our color phototo a sepia tone. We can do that /uickly and easily using a "ue#Saturationad0ustment

layer. )lick on the New &ill 'r !d$u%tment Layericon at the bottom of the %ayers

palette. 1t's the circle split diagonally between black and white. Then choose

"ue#Saturationfrom the list of ad0ustment layers that appears#

)lick on the ew 2ill Or Ad0ustment %ayer icon and select 3ue!4aturation from the

list.

1f you're using +hotoshop )45 or earlier, this will bring up the 3ue!4aturation dialog bo6.1f you're using +hotoshop )47 as 1 am here, the 3ue!4aturation options will appear in the

!d$u%tment% (anel, which is new to +hotoshop )47. 1f we wanted to simply conert the

image to black and white, we could do so by dragging the Saturationslider all the wayto the left, which would remoe all of the color, leaing us with a black and white photo.

1'd rather make things a bit more interesting by adding a sepia tone effect. To do that,

select the Colori)eoption at the bottom of the dialog bo6 or Ad0ustments +anel, whichwill colori8e the entire image using a single color. Then set the "uealue to around *,

either by dragging the 3ue slider or by typing the alue directly into the input bo6#

As we looked at in much more detail in our (hoto%hop% &ive 2%%ential Blend -ode%

&or (hoto 2diting tutorial, the )olor blend mode blends only the colors from theselected layer with the layer or layers below it. The brightness, or luminosity alues,

are left untouched. 3ere's my image after adding the sepia tone and changing the blend

mode#

Step *: Select /Layer 1/

)urrently, the 3ue!4aturation ad0ustment layer is selected in the %ayers palette. We know

that because it's highlighted in blue. We're going to be applying one of +hotoshop's

filters to the copy of our image on %ayer -, but before we can do that, we need to make%ayer - the selected layer. )lick on it in the %ayers palette to select it#

Step 4: Lower The 'pacity o. /Layer 1/

8/11/2019 efek blur

7/18

With %ayer - still selected, go up to the 'pacityoption at the top of the %ayers palette

and lower the layer's opacity down to 35. This will blend the brush strokes in with the

original image on the Background layer#

%owering the opacity of a layer allows the layer(s below it to show through.

Step 6: Change The Blend -ode To /Di%%olve/

2inally, go back up to the Blend -odeoption at the top of the %ayers palette and change

the blend mode for %ayer - from ormal to Di%%olve#

)hange the blend mode of %ayer - to issole.

With the blend mode set to issole, the brush strokes effect now has a speckledappearance, adding to the old fashioned look of the image (the speckles will be easier to

see with your own image open in +hotoshop than they are in the small screenshot#

8/11/2019 efek blur

The issole blend mode adds a speckled look to the effect.

Step 7: Select The "ue#Saturation !d$u%tment Layer

To create our speckled photo border, we're going to add a Solid Color .ill layerwhichwill sere as the color of the border. We need to place the fill layer aboe all of the other

layers in the image. By default, +hotoshop adds new layers directly aboe the currently

selected layer, and at the moment, %ayer - is currently selected, which means that if wewere to add a new layer right now, +hotoshop would place it between %ayer - and our

3ue!4aturation ad0ustment layer. That's not what we want. We want the new layer to be

placed aboe the ad0ustment layer, which means we first need to select the ad0ustment

layer by clicking on it in the %ayers palette#

Step 8: Drag 'ut ! 9ectangular Selection

Before we add the 4olid )olor fill layer, let's select the area that we want to use as thephoto border. 2irst, we'll drag out a rectangular selection around the area of the photo that

we want to appear inside the border. To do that, grab the 9ectangular -aruee Tool

from the Tools palette, or simply press the letter -on your keyboard to select it with the

shortcut#

4elect the =ectangular "ar/uee Tool.

Then, with the =ectangular "ar/uee Tool selected, click inside the image and drag a

selection around the area that you want to remain isible inside the border. The areaoutside of the selection will become the border. Try to keep the same amount of space

around all four sides as you drag out the selection. 1f you need to reposition the selection

as you're dragging it out, hold down your %pace0ar, drag the selection around with yourmouse to reposition it, then release the spacebar and continue dragging#

:ou can reposition the selection as you drag by holding down your spacebar.

Step 1: ;nvert The Selection

We now hae the area that we want to appear inside the border selected. +roblem is, what

we really need is for the border area itself to be selected. 2ortunately, all we need to do is

invertthe selection, which will deselect eerything that's currently selected (the areainside the border and select eerything that's notcurrently selected (the border area. $o

up to the Selectmenu at the top of the screen and choose ;nver%e, or use the handy

keyboard shortcut for inerting a selection, Shi.t+Ctrl+;(Win ! Shi.t+Command+;

("ac#

nert the selection to /uickly select the border area and deselect the area inside the

border.

1t may not seem at first like anything has happened since the original selection outline

still remains, but if you look closely, you'll see that a second selection outline has now

appeared around the edges of the photo. The area between the two selection outlines isnow selected and ready to become our photo border, while the area to appear inside the

border is now deselected#

Step 11: !dd ! Solid Color &ill Layer

)lick once again on the New &ill 'r !d$u%tment Layericon at the bottom of the %ayerspalette and this time, choose a 4olid )olor fill layer from the top of the list#

8/11/2019 efek blur

12/18

The fill layers appear aboe the ad0ustment layers in the list. )hoose a 4olid )olor fill

layer.

This brings up +hotoshop's Color (icker, allowing us to select the color that we want to

fill the layer with. 1'm going to stick with the default color of 0lack, so 1'll 0ust click Oin layer ma%k. 1n fact, it's the layer mask for the 4olid )olor fill layer

that's causing the solid black color to appear only in the photo border area. 1f we look in

the %ayers palette, we can see that the 4olid )olor fill layer (which +hotoshop has named)olor 2ill - contains a layer mask preview thum0nail. otice how the large

rectangular area in the center of the thumbnail is filled with black while the area around it

is filled with white. The white represents the area in our document window where the fill

layer is isible (the photo border. The black represents the area where the fill layer is notisible (the area inside the photo border.

To create our speckled border effect, we'll need to blur the edges of our photo border,

which means we'll need to blur the layer mask. To do that, we'll need the layer mask

selected, so click directly on the layer mask preiew thumbnail in the %ayers palette toselect it. :ou'll know it's selected because a white highlight border will appear around the

thumbnail#

A white highlight border around the preiew thumbnail indicates that the layer mask is

The final result.

+hotoshop's issole blend mode may not be the most popular kid on the block,

especially when it comes to seriousphoto editing , but as we'e seen with a couple of

e6amples in this tutorial, it does hae potential when creatingspecial effects .The ne6t

time you're looking for an interesting way to blend layers together, gie the issoleblend mode a try and see what you come up with@ ust remember that Di%%olve onlywork% with %emi=tran%parent pi>el%, so you'll need to either be working with a layermask as we did here when we created our photo border or you'll need to lower the opacity

of the layer before you'll see any results with the issole blend mode.
