Jonathan_Kent said:A PS tutorial which i found from the internet
In this Adobe Photoshop tutorial we will do some photo retouch, we will apply some warmth to the image then apply a rainbow lipgloss, and yes I know it might seem better to use a single color lipgloss, but I was just playing around with Photoshop while doing this tutorial, and this was the end result.
The first thing we will do is to apply some warmth to the image, because the skin looks pale and cold, so go to image -> adjustments -> levels, and in this panel you will have to drag the 3 handles a bit closer to where the levels are high, this brings up the values of colors.
Then go to image -> adjustments -> brightness and contrast and here you need to bring up the contrast a bit. (not much maybe just +20).
The last thing we will do here is to give the image some more red color, because her skin is a bit red, and her lips are red and we would like it to be a bit more colorful.
So go to image -> adjustments -> hue and saturations. in the roll down menu choose reds. then drag the handles as shown below.
This was the image before we did anything.
And now with the warmth adjustments.
Now we will add the lipgloss. So make a new layer above the image layer and name it lipgloss. Now with the polygonal lasso tool click around the lips on the outer edges as shown in the image below.
Again with the polygonal lasso tool, make sure you have selected "subtract from selection" mode. click the inner side of the lips as shown below, so we end up with only the lips selection and not the teeth.
Now make a graident looking like the one below, and drag it from left to right on the lips selection, so you get a result as below.
Find the blending modes roll down menu, its located just above the layers panel
and set it to "hue".
This last part is a bit tricky, you have to use the dodge and burn tools to make light areas lighter and dark areas darker, remember to use a soft big brush so you dont get any sharp edges there.
But dont darken or lighten the lips too much, or else it might look to unrealistic.
