Creating Artistic photo using photoshop.

In this very interesting tutorial I am going to show you how to make an artistic photo using photoshop.
So, let’s begin! Get started by finding a nice, suitable photo to work with. For this you’ll want to use Google Images or some stock photo websites. I found this one picture. Open this picture. Then we need to increase the space around the photo. Use Image > Canvas Size and set up width about 700 pixels.

Use Image > Canvas Size.

Create a new layer below the current layer and fill it with black color.

Go back to the layer with photo and duplicate it with Ctrl+J, after that desaturate this layer with Image > Adjustments > Desaturate (or press Crtl+Shift+U)

Image > Adjustments > Desaturate.

Image > Adjustments > Desaturate.

Set opacity up to 72% for this layer. Then select the Eraser Tool and hard round brush about 10 pixels and make clear work on the lips to retrieve the red color.

Ok, merge two of these layers with photo in one and duplicate new layer again. Apply Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur to copied layer:

Now, change layer mode to Overlay and set up opacity to 70%.

Select the Eraser Tool.

Change opacity to 100% again. After that use the Blur Tool (Brush: 150 px, Strength: 30%) to blur the space around the beads a little bit.
