PictureCorrect Magic Effect Wallpaper

 



 



 


This tutorial is to show you how we made one of the PictureCorrect wallpapers that is in the fine art gallery.  It was made by Dan Buxton and Richard Schneider.

 

1.  Add brightness and lots of contrast.
(Image>Adjustments>Brightness/ Contrast)
          Brightness:  +11
          Contrast:  +20

 

 

2.  Isolate the girl from the background.  If you need more help with this step please refer to our tutorial on Separating a Subject from it's Background.

3.  Apply a Watercolor Filter to a new layer with only the background on it  (Filter>Artistic>Watercolor).  Then merge the layers together.

 

 


4.
  Render a 50-300mm Zoom Lens Flare with an intensity of about 129.  Make sure its over the Rose.  (Filter>Render>Lens Flare)

 

 

 


5.  Render Lighting Effects with the settings like the picture on the left.  (Filter>Render>Lighting Effects) 

Light Type: Omni
Color:  Between Pink and Red
