Sunset City Photo Effect

This task we'll learn how to change the skin's color, change the objects' color and brightness, lay over the pictures one above the others, create the tattoo's effect and imitate the butterfly's fly.

Open the photo, picturing the girl's back: File – Open (ctrl+o)



Mark it out along the contour using Polygonal Lasso Tool. Copy it then: Edit – Copy (ctrl+c) and place it on a new layer using the command Edit – Paste (ctrl+v). Erase the previous layer clicking on the fast erasing button on the Layers window.



Take Smudge Tool, preliminary setting the brush's hardness on 0% and cover the skin's birthmarks and unevenness.



Apply Smart Blur.



Make the layer lighter, using the next command Image – Abjustments – Desaturate (shift+ctrl+u).



It's necessary to apply a color filter (Image – Adjustments – Photo Filter) to give to the skin a nuance. Choose Sepia nuance for this case.



Take two pictures, representing the tattoos and place each of them on a new layer.



Place them on the girl's back and change the Layer's type on Linear Burn.
