|||| |||| A great retouched image begins with a beautiful photograph. We're going to take a reasonable photo that I shot in late 2013 on a rainy day in Philadelphia and use Photoshop to do some simple retouching and color toning to this image. We're going to explore things like skin and eye retouching as well as effectively using Adjustment Layers to color grade and create a very cool looking picture. |||| |||| http://twitter.com/tutvid https://www.facebook.com/tutvid https://plus.google.com/+NathanielDodson http://instagram.com/endyphoto
Photoshop CC tutorial showing how to give photos a trendy, gritty, high-contrast, and desaturated look.
You've probably seen a similar grungy effect in movie posters and advertisements. Nike has used it a lot lately, or at least something similar.
This effect is actually quite simple; all we'll use is two adjustment layers, and one filter. One of those adjustment layers is the "Color Lookup" adjustment layer which is new in Photoshop CS6.
If you have CS5 or older don't worry about it, I'll be showing you an alternative technique, that should give you very similar results.

Creating a watercolor masterpiece usually requires a vast amount of time, talent, and creativity... Amusingly enough, Photoshop makes this kind of stuff possible in less than 30 minutes =P
