Ever Wonder how to make your photos look magical on photoshop?
First you must start with a good photo.
The trick to this photo is that I had my husband's phone light going in their lap.
without that special "pop" the photo would have looked dull like this:
Yes, I can fix the exposure in his face later, but I really wanted a light to be coming from the book.
Here is the "after" photo of what we are going to learn to do today.
STEP ONE:
If you haven't gotten the chance to watch the video explaining how to do it, please do that now.
STEP TWO:
Finding some random free overlays like these on google in high res (over 1000kb please) would be helpful to make your "magic" in your photo.
STEP THREE:
Copy and paste the free stock image over your main image and set the opacity to "screen." Then just erase very gently with a BIG SOFT brush.
STEP FOUR:
Play around with your settings until you get the perfect mix of mystery and magic!
