6 More Cool Photoshop Effects for DIY Photo-Art Prints
Now that the word ‘Photoshop’ has become a verb (meaning: the process of lying through photograph) as well as a brand name, a lot of the discussion has been diverted from what the program can actually legitimately and ethically do! Today we check out some cool Photoshop effects to add to your photos before sending them for canvas printing, creating artistic, but certainly not dishonest, art prints!
Halftone dots and linear light
This is a gorgeous over-exposed, newspaper-ish look. It is also very simple to do! You just need to:
- Duplicate the photo in another layer
- Make your foreground colour white, and background black
- Select Filter > Sketch > Halftone Pattern. Play around to find settings you like
- Press Ctrl+I to invert the image
- In the Layers Palette change the mode from Normal to Linear Light
- All done!
Retro comic book look
This takes a little longer, but is an awesome effect for kid’s photos. Here’s how to create canvas prints that look like enlargements of comic books:
- Increase the overall contrast of the pic using your Levels toolbox
- Go to Filters>Artistic> Film Grain and play around with the settings to suit your picture and yourself.
- Duplicate the layer and name it ‘halftone’ or something you’ll recognise and understand!
- Go to Filter>Pixelate>Halftone. Set the max radius to 4, and leave the default values for the other options.
- Go to your Layers Pallette and choose Darken for the Blending Mode
This gives you a comic-book style picture, and you can use either Photoshop or another picture editor to add comic book style text boxes around your pic.
Backlit silhouettes
The picture in the example is a little clichéd, I realise – but if you can envision this effect with a silhouette of your kids walking against a sunset background, or yourself sitting under a tree, you have an awesome canvas art print idea in your mind! This is how you do it:
- Cut the image that you want to keep as a silhouette out from the background. If you’re a Photoshop newbie, you may need a separate tutorial for that part – there are a hundred different methods.
- Go to your Layers Palette and set blending options to Colour Overlay, and the colour itself to black. You now have a black silhouette on a white background
- Go to Layer>New Fill Layer>Gradient. Choose the Radial option, and make sure the lighter colours are set towards the centre.
- Select your silhouette layer and got to Layer> Add Layer Mask> Reveal All. Set the foreground colour to black and use a large, soft brush over the sides of the silhouette to turn them transparent.
- In the example you can see that a small piece of the original guitar has been added for depth. You can do this with a face in your picture if you like – cut your piece out, and go to Image>Adjustments> Desaturate. Set the blending mode to Multiply, and opacity to 60-70%. Use a very soft eraser to soften the edges of the new layer if you like
- Copy your silhouette layer, and change the overlay colour (in Bending Options_ to white. Go to Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur, and set 3-4 pixels.
Photoshop has so much potential for creating your own art, and it takes very little knowledge … and just a tiny bit of imagination to create beautiful canvas art prints!
