This Pop art course is Suggested for Beginner to Intermediate Step -Photoshop Users.

Let me present you in few straightforward methods how to convert your photo into authentic Warhol pop art style
At the beginning, properly pick out your photograph,it can easily be any photography you like, pictureof you, your significant other, little ones, member ofthe family or simply any person you care about. Thekey to a awesome final result is to make sure the illumination in the photograph is reasonably enough. In most cases any photographmay work really fine, but the natural flow of the enviromentallight will undoubtedly allow to accomplish thatremarkable Warhol pop art .

All right, I have my snapshot all set having thebackground removed. It is essential to clear the background, generally there are quite a few procedures toaccomplish this, the erase brush is going to do the task or a lasso selection . The real photoshopexperts are taking care of the background employing channels. By using channels you can make an extremly detailed selection, but this really is a completely different story.

Step - 1
Just after you croped the background it is time to work on the topic of the image.Utilize the lasso tool to make a harsh selection around the hair, you may also require to adjust the feather option on your lasso tool to available 5px, this is dependent on your photo resolution but innearly all situations around 5px should really be okay or alternatively you can adjust the feather radius soon after you create the lasso selection by choosing from the menus Select+modify+feather and once morearound 5px. Next, copy and paste your selection (ensure that that thenew layer is correctly placed over the original) na fine-tune the levels(Ctrl+l, Image+Adjustments+levels) until finally you see a really fine contrast among thedark and light regions of the hair as shown in the snapshot .

Step - 2
Duplicate the original Layer, just by clicking Ctrl+D, select the copied layer(You can label it as Facial details) and use threshold effect (Image, adjustments, Threshold). Differ the values of the effect till you have thinner and clean faciallines near the eyes, mouth area, nostril and soon... See the example of this beneath.

Step - 3
Select the original layer once more and use the threshold effect but this time you would liketo obtain the shadows and facial expression. So, go with valueswhich can produce you more daring characteristics. See the example beneath.

Step 4:
At this time you need to work on the hair layer you created previously. Pick the Hair layer andapply a threshold effect intending to obtain clean and thin details like in step 2.

Step - 5
Okay, by now you should certainly have four layers: 1 is layer we began with, 2 isthe layer named original, 3 is the Face details layer, and 4 Hair details layer. Blend 3 and 4(Face details and Hair) into one layer by simply selecting them at the same time holding Ctrl and then click Ctrl+E(Layer+ Merge layers). Still before merging cleanse the shadows that might possibly be there in quite a few cases as exhibited in the snapshotbelow and then blend. Select the layer named Original and make a duplicateof it.

Step 6
All right, we're nearly completed. Choose the newly merged Layer (hair) and go to you channel panel. Select the Red channel and click onit while holding Ctrl. It is going to create a selection on your complete black parts. Pick the RGB channel and return back to your layers pallete andclick on delete on your keyboard. Do the exact same for the layer named Original.

Step - 7
Click twice on the layer titled Original copy and put on a color overlay , you might pick any tone you prefer, for this tutorial I've opted to start with a dazzling orange shade. Choose the layer named original and apply color overlay with ajust a bit varied shade of orange it could be atiny bit brownish. Next, pick the Hair layer and apply any richer shade you want for example a deeper violet. And the laststep is to add tone to the background layer or maybe justmake a new layer and apply a wonderful vividtone.
