Peeling skin tutorial

Hi and welcome to my second tutorial in photoshop. This time I will show you how to get that peeling skin effect on your photos. In this tutorial I recommend you to read my first tutorial before you go on to this one so you wont have any troubles following it.

Okay starting off you need a picture of a face. I chose a face with as little hair as possible covering the face.

After that you need to add a  peeling texture like this one

TEXTURE

You place the texture on top of the photo you have and turn down the opacity to about 60 or so.

After that you add a layer mask and start painting away the texture from the parts of the face that do not have skin. I remove all the texture from around the face, on the hair and on the eyes. After that you may want to chose a layer setting to make it look a bit more realistic, I chose the vivid light. This is just to make the texture look like it's a part of the skin.

After that you click on "create a Fill or adjustment layer" that just on the right side of the layer mask and you chose curves. This option will let you change the light settings and make it darker or lighter.

This is the outcome. Now try this and I recommend you to play around a bit with the layer settings, the curves and so on. Good luck!

FINAL OUTCOME:

Masking with hue/satuarion tutorial (beginner)

Hello! This will be my first tutorial in photoshop. What we will do with the photo is that we will remove the colors and use a layer mask to restore colors in a specific area. This isn't any advanced and the time you need depends on the photo.

The photo i chose to mask was this one: 

So to start of you open photoshop and load your photo.

Then what you want to do is lowering the hue/saturation

 like this:

You want to make sure that the saturation is at -100 so that you remove all the colors.

After that you add a layer mask under your layers palette.

With that done you want to have the foreground set as black and the background color set as white and start painting in the area that you want to restore the colors.

This is the final outcome: 

You can probably do better, this was done in 5 min just to show you what you can do with masking. This is just one example and there is a lot more you can do.

New design!

Today I started working on a new design for my blog. I'm not sure how it's going to look, but I can say that it WILL be a grungy type of design.
