Photoshop Old Man's Portrait Effect : -- Changing regular image in to a classic Old Man's --- Portrait Effect( Using Lighting Effect)



Yesterday i was playing around with the lighting effect, and through "sheer chance" i manage to develop a classic portrait out of a lazy wierd image ........

Now you must be saying that "Parveen", you must have used those filter...

And i would say "no my dear friend" --- "I haven't used filters", in fact i have created this mind blowing portrait by playing around with the lightening effect......

Now just take a look at this original image : ---->







And this is what I finally got : ---



A legendary layery old man's portrait out of a pretty simple image ........

Seems to be perfect for the "CD Covers" or entire website's lay out can be shrouded in this portrait effect.


Steps to create this kind of effect:


Step One : Go to "Filters" in the top menu bar of "PHOTOSHOP" and slect "Filter" which will open a drop down bar , just scroll your mouse to "Render" and select "lightening effect"




Step Two: Choose the light type as :"SPOTlight" as shown in the snap shot below, after that set the gloss to "53", Mat to "68", Exposure to "-44".

And set the Texture channel to "RED"

and choose the height to full "Mountaneous"




Press enter and save your selections for the final outcome....

You can control the contrast and over all look of this effect by playing around with Gloss , Mat and exposure grids.........


So how's.the final portrait :



Fantastic isn't it .........
