When you drag your finger across the screen, it appears to draw a giant, curved line where you moved your finger. What you're actually doing is drawing hundreds of tiny straight lines: each time you move your finger, even a little bit, you extend the line from your finger's immediate last position to its new position.

Tutorial Assets

The following assets were used during the production of this grunge photo effect Photoshop tutorial:

1. How to Create the Background

Step 1

Let's begin the 90s grunge Photoshop template. Open the Watercolor stock in Photoshop. Go to Image > Image Rotate > 90 Degrees Clockwise to turn the stock from a landscape to a portrait orientation.

Step 2

This watercolor image will serve as our 90s grunge background, so let's desaturate it a bit. Select the layer and go to Image > Adjustments > Hue and Saturation and lower the Saturation to -100 to turn the photo black and white. Use the Move Tool (V) to lower the stock and show a peek of the white background underneath.

Step 3

Now go to the bottom of your Layers panel and select the New Adjustment Layer for Posterize. Set the Levels to 8 for a nice grunge effect.

Step 4

Now create another New Adjustment Layer, this time for a Gradient. Create a Linear Gradient that goes from a dark red color #901026 to white. When you're finished, set the Layer Blend Mode to Soft Light to apply the gradient to the grunge background.

2. How to Manipulate the Subject

Step 1

Now for the next step in learning how to make a picture look 90s. Open the stock of your Rocker into Photoshop and use the Magnetic Lasso Tool (L) to create a rough selection around the person. Copy and Paste the rocker on top of the grunge background layers.

Step 2

Your Photoshop template is looking better. Create a New Layer underneath your subject. Use the Polygonal Lasso Tool (L) to create a cutout shape behind him with rough edges. Fill the shape with white using the Paint Bucket Tool (G) when you're finished.

Step 3

To add some grunge to your subject in the Photoshop flyer template, we'll need a filter. Select the Rocker layer and go to Filter > Filter Gallery > Artistic > Film Grain, and add the following settings:

The first pass of this filter allowed us to create more contrast and intensity. Now go to the same Film Grain filter again and apply a slight grain with the following settings:

3. How to Colorize the Subject

Step 1

We're almost done with your Photoshop flyer template. Let's add some color. Right-click and select the Blending Options for your subject's layer. Create a shiny, copper-like Linear Gradient Overlay with the following settings, making sure to set the Blend Mode to Overlay so that it colorizes your subject.

Step 2

To tie in the red from the background, create a New Layer and set the Layer Blend Mode to Color. Right-click to set the layer as a Clipping Mask to your subject and use a Hard Round Brush to paint bright red #d14456 all over his T-shirt.

Right-click to select the Blending Options for the Red layer. To make the color look better on his shirt, create a transparent to black Linear Gradient Overlay with the following settings.

Step 3

Bump up the intensity of this effect, by setting a New Adjustment Layer of Levels as a Clipping Mask to your subject. Adjust the RGB Channel with the following settings:

4. How to Add Finishing Touches

Step 1

Now that the base of our grunge effect is complete, let's add some finishing touches to the Photoshop template. First, open your Splatter Reference in Photoshop. Select it using the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) and go to Edit > Define Brush Preset to create your own brush. Feel free to also use different splatter brushes from Envato Market.

Step 2

Use the splatter brush you created to add some splatter onto your 90s grunge effect. First, select the Red layer and paint some splatter on his hair using the same color as before. Then create a New Layer underneath your subject and paint a white splatter in the bottom left corner.

Step 3

Finish this effect with some text! Use the Rectangle Tool (U) to create two white rectangles in the bottom right corner of the image.

Add whatever text you would like to the rectangles using this free Marker Twins font or by using a selection of great grunge fonts from Envato Market.

Duplicate the original black and white watercolor stock twice, and then set one of the copies as a Clipping Mask to the larger text. Set the Layer Blend Mode to Lighten to apply the grunge look.

Finish off the effect by dragging the second copy of the watercolor effect above all the other layers and setting the Layer Blend Mode to Soft Light. This helps to make everything look a little more "grungy."

One of the fun exercises I did as a child was to create my own animal species in my sketchbook. Drawing from a reference, I would combine the craziest parts of different animals together to make up a new animal and give it a name. 20 years later, I'm still doing the same thing. In this tutorial, we will use Photoshop to combine a crocodile and a frog to create a new animal species. Let's get started!

Tutorial Assets

The following assets were used during the production of this tutorial.

1. Setting the scene

Step 1

First, grab the Frog stock photo from the list of assets above and open it in Photoshop. Resize the image (Image > Image Size...) to 1024x768 and label this layer Frog.

Don't forget to make sure the resolution is set to 72 pixels/inch

Step 2

Next you'll need the crocodile head. Open this image separately within Photoshop. Before removing the scenery ensure that you delete the background layer beneath the croc head so that you will end up with a transparent background.

When searching for a subject matter to combine your animal try to focus on certain elements that will match together. For instance with the frog I looked at other animals with similar colours and positions so that they would naturally fit together. The angle of the croc's head fits with the angle of the frog's body.

If you're not sure that the two will match up, simply place the croc layer over the frog layer, change the opacity of the croc and resize using the Transform Tool (Command/Ctrl + T) to see roughly how it fits.

Once open we'll need to get rid of the scenery behind the croc as the head will be all that we're using. There are numerous methods to cutting around the croc's head. You can try using the Magic Wand (W on your shortcuts) but seeing as the background to the croc's image is quite detailed it might be better to use the Eraser Tool (E on your shortcuts) to remove the plant-life. I use a circular brush (varied sizes) with the hardness set to 100% and no spacing. This ensures a clean crisp line around the croc's head. Make sure to zoom in for all those hard reach places, more detailed you get the better the overall image will look!

This will probably be the most time-consuming step but it's worth it in the end! Personally I use a Wacom tablet to do this as you can really get into the detail and it is much faster but a mouse will do the job (just be patient).

Step 3

Once you've got the croc's head cut out, copy the croc layer and paste it above the frog layer and label this layer Croc Head. You'll need to try and resize it using the Transform tool (Command/Ctrl + T ) to where you think it fits best.

You'll notice that there's still some work to do as the croc's eye is visible and the colour doesn't match with the frog.

2.Matching the frog and crocodile

Step 1

Now that we have a general idea how the two animals fit together we need to start matching them a little better. Using the Clone Stamp Tool (S on your shortcuts) we'll attempt remove the croc's eye. When cloning I tend to use a soft brush as this helps blend the cloned area more effectively.

While holding the ALT key, select a similar area of skin near the eye that can be used to cover over the eye.

Now we need to join the back of the croc's jaw-line to the frog's neck. Again, select an area that matches the croc's jaw pattern and use the clone tool to fill in a suitable connection.

Always look for elements that can be cloned together and sections that look like they might fit. You should now have something that looks similar to the image below

Step 2

We're starting to get a better shape but there are still elements that don't quite match up. Part of the croc's head is still covering the frog's eyes and they need to be removed.

Using the Eraser Tool (E on your shortcuts) remove these elements to fit the croc's head more naturally. Use a soft brush to remove any jagged or overlapping areas around the frog's eyes and jaw line.

3. Coloring and shading

Step 1

The Crocofrog is looking good at the moment but he needs some colour work. As I've said in previous steps, there are different ways to do this but I find this way works out for me the best.

First, you'll want to outline the Croc's Head
(Command/Ctrl and click or command and click on the Croc Head layer) and you want to select the Create the new fill/adjustment layer option in the layers tab.

Select the Colour Balance option and on Tone Balance choose the Midtones Option. Then move the sliders to match the screenshot below.

Step 2

This has created a mask over the entire head but we don't want the teeth and inside the mouth afftected. To fix this simply select the eraser tool and remove the colour from the tongue and teeth. There are other areas of the croc's head that could do with removing the green colour so once again select the Eraser Tool but this time reduce the opacity to 50%. I've highlighted in red the areas that I've erased to 50% and the blue areas I've erased at 100%.

Now we want to lighten a bit of the croc's head colour to blend with the frog's body. In the below screenshot I've highlighted in red the areas I've lightened using the Dodge Tool.

Step 3

It's looking pretty good but we're still missing some shading. The croc's head seems to be floating above the image as it has no direct shadow. Select the Frog layer and using the Burn Tool darken the ground beneath his head matching the shadow that the frog is casting.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you have learned how to quickly combine two images in Photoshop to create something that couldn't exist in real life. One of the most important things you can do when trying this on your own is to make sure you find images that can be easily combined. This means searching out photos where the subjects are positioned in similar environments and perspective. Once you do that, it will make erasing the away the parts you don't need and incorporating the various elements that much easier. Good luck!

What You'll Be Creating

You've probably seen this interesting effect of two or more overlapping photos on the covers of music albums, in modern magazines, and in advertisements. In this double exposure Photoshop tutorial, we'll create a trendy double exposure effect from scratch. We'll use Blending Modes and Clipping Masks in a few steps. But first, let's learn what a double exposure is.

What Is Double Exposure?

In photography and cinematography, double or multiple exposure is a combination of two or more exposures to create a single image. Initially, this is a technique in which the camera shutter is opened more than once to expose the film multiple times, usually to different images. However, with modern software, we can easily create a similar effect in Adobe Photoshop.

How to add the finishing touches to your double exposure photos

Double Exposure Portrait Tutorial Assets

If you want to follow this double exposure Photoshop tutorial exactly, here are the photos I used:

1. How to Prepare the Main Photo

Step 1

For the base of our image, we'll be using the following photo of a young man from Stockvault.net. You can use any photo of your liking, for example, from your personal archive. However, make sure that the background of your photo is more or less neutral, without noisy elements such as grass or foliage, to make it easier to work with.

Let's take the Crop Tool (C) and make the photo less wide by deleting its side parts.

Step 2

Now we need to make it much brighter and add contrast. Go to Image > Adjustments > Levels or press Control-L to call the pop-up Levels menu. Move the lightest slider to the left, making our photo brighter, and add contrast by moving the left black slider to the right. Otherwise, you can just set the particular values in the spaces below: 7 for the shades of black, 1.15 for greys and 197 for whites. Click the OK button to apply the adjustments.

Step 3

Let's fix the guy's ear with the Spot Healing Brush Tool (I). Just click and move your mouse, drawing above the area you wish to fix and-voila!-the marked area is clean and flawless. This is a very handy tool for photo retouching, when you need to get rid of some minor flaws and bumps on the skin.

Step 4

Now we need to get rid of the background. This is a piece of cake, as we're using a photo with a clean background. Take the Magic Wand Tool (W) and click anywhere on the background to select it. Then go to Select > Inverse to select the man.

Step 5

While you are still armed with the Magic Wand Tool (W), find the Refine Edge button in the control panel above to reveal the Refine Edge options window. Here you can change the View of your photo in the View Modes, placing the selected element on white, black, transparent and other backgrounds, making it more visible and convenient to edit.

Slightly increase the Radius value in the Edge Detection, setting it to 1.5, making the edges less rigid and thus revealing minor details, such as separate hairs. Set the Output To in the Output section of the options window to New Layer with Layer Mask. This will automatically create a copy of your initial image with the background hidden by the Clipping Mask.

You can play with other Refine Edge options as well, making the edge smoother or more blurred. This would be handy if you're cutting out the element that is surrounded by other elements, or the image has some more complex background and the edges of the main object are messy. In our case, these minor adjustments are enough to continue creating the desired effect.

Step 6

Create a New Layer below the cut-out portrait and fill it with a neutral greyish color (#dcdbd9) using the Paint Bucket Tool (G).

2. How to Do a Double Exposure in Photoshop by Combining Two Images

Step 1

Let's select the second photo for our composition. This can be a nice flower shot or cityscape, or anything abstract and intricate. For this double exposure Photoshop tutorial, we'll use this monochromatic nature scene of a forest by Samuel Rohl, which you can find at Unsplash.com.

Step 2

Place the image of the forest above the man's portrait. Keeping the forest layer selected, press the Control key and click on the Layer Clipping Mask of the layer below (the one with the portrait). You will see the marching ants selection of the man's silhouette on the forest layer.

Step 3

Press the Add vector mask button at the bottom of the Layers panel to hide the unneeded parts of the forest image. If you click on the chain icon between the image thumbnail and the mask thumbnail in the Layers panel, this will unlink the layer and its mask, so that you can move and rotate the image inside the mask without moving the whole layer.

In our case, let's put the forest image upside down, so that the dark reflection of the trees is placed in the head area of the silhouette, as shown in the screenshot below.

Step 4

Select the layer which contains the cutout portrait with a clipping mask. Make a copy (Control-J) and drag and drop it above the forest layer.

Let's make the portrait monochromatic to fit the forest image color palette. Keeping the portrait layer selected, move to Image > Adjustments > Desaturate or just press Shift-Control-U, converting our image to grayscale.

Step 5

Open the Levels (Control-L) options window and make the image much darker by moving the black slider to the right side or manually setting its value to 117.

Apply the effect and go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation. Tick the Colorize checkbox in the bottom right corner of the options window to change the whole range of colors of our image. Set the Hue value to 212, moving the slider to the right, thus adding tints of blue. Set the Saturation level to 10, decreasing the vividness of the photo, and click OK to apply the created effect.

Step 6

Right-click on the portrait layer mask, and we can Apply Layer Mask in the dropdown menu. Change the Blending Mode of the portrait layer to Screen in the Layers panel. We can already see that the desired double exposure effect appears! Only a few minor tweaks left, so let's move on!

3. How to Add the Finishing Touches to Your Double Exposure Photos

Step 1

Let's make the image more surrealistic by editing the head of the portrait. Take the Brush Tool (B) and select the Airbrush Soft Round 17 from the standard Round Brushes with Size set (you can find it in the drop-down brushes menu if you click the right mouse button or in the Brushes (F5) panel).

Select the Layer Mask of the forest layer, set the Fill color to black and paint softly over the upper part of the head area, thus erasing the unwanted parts of the head and adding some air in the top part of the image. This makes the image look as if the trees are growing directly from the man's head.

Step 2

Some parts of the image look too noisy at this step-for example, the eyes area, where the trees from the forest image create a distracting effect. Let's get rid of this and make these parts more clear and contrast.

Create a New Layer beneath the desaturated portrait layer, take the Brush Tool (B) again and switch the Fill color to dark blue (#2f2c35), which you can pick directly from the hair part of the portrait with the Eyedropper Tool (I).

Start painting over the eyes area, making it more distinct. For more convenience, you can Control-click on the layer mask of the portrait layer to create a marching ants selection, which allows you to draw inside the selected area, without crossing its boundaries.

Step 3

Let's add a finishing touch to our image. Select the desaturated portrait layer and Add Layer Mask by clicking the mask icon in the bottom part of the Layers panel. Take the Brush Tool (B) and switch the Fill color to black. Since our Layer mask is white by default, the black color will help us to erase the unwanted parts of the image. Paint over the neck area of the man, creating an illusion of his face popping out from the trees.

App Inventor detects collisions by checking for an intersection between the bounding rectangles of each ImageSprite. We call this rectangle-based collision detection. As you can see in the image below, sprites with circular or polygon shape will appear to collide because of the rectangular bounds around them when they might not actually be colliding.
