Im going to show you how to add a little effect to a picture. The result would be the contrast increasing, darker places getting darker and brighter places becoming brighter to give a “popping” effect.This isn’t an original technique. I learnt it from a tutorial that I read a year or so ago.However I will add on techniques I have learnt myself to help you use photoshop much faster and efficiently.Ok ill cut the crap. This will only take 4 seconds to do after you have tried it out once.First, open the picture you want to add an effect to, to Photoshop. Then unlock the background layer. If your using photoshop CS3 you can just hold down “ALT” and double click on the background layer. Then duplicate the layer. You can do so by dragging the layer on to the “create new layer” icon at the bottom.<img src="http://i34.tinypic.com/8weceg.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Then select the new layer that you just made (the one on top) and follow the path:Filter -- Blur -- Gaussian BlurTo add a Gaussian blur to the picture. At this step you will get a window as so:<img src="http://i38.tinypic.com/2itsguo.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Adjust the settings in it according to the above screenshot. And hit OK. Later on you can mess around with the setting to add or reduce the effect.Having the blurred layer selected click on the drop down menu which by default should say “Normal”. Then select “Overlay”.<img src="http://i36.tinypic.com/25fkqcy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />And that’s it. Your effect has been added:From: <img src="http://i34.tinypic.com/2yv5svk.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> To: <img src="http://i38.tinypic.com/110y8vt.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />You can go a bit further by choosing “Darken” instead of “overlay”, to give this:<img src="http://i38.tinypic.com/ztvurs.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Just keep messing around to find new stuff through trial and error.Good Day!-Nabil</blockquote>
