Archives - Photoshop (Hard)

Today, I'm going to show you this technique using a photo of a mother and daughter with less than optimal lighting. Yes we could fix it in Photoshop, but let's say we're going for a more nostalgic look and feel. Something a little different; something special.

Make it grayscale
The first step is to zap all color from the image. Though this can be done in several ways (see Goin' Grayscale), I'll use my own personal favorite method.

I thought I'd try an effect I've been itching to do for some time, if for no other reason than to see if I could do it. The thought occurred to me awhile back that it would be kind of cool to take a rather useless piece of clip art and affix it to skin in a photo. That really doesn't sound too hard, right?
