The effect of this tutorial is a bit light on watercolor, which is more suitable for photos of girls. The general coloring process: first whiten and polish the character.
These are the basics. Then adjust the color using channels and other color adjustment tools. The following is the processing of some details. The whole process is relatively simple, but the effect is very good.
Original picture
final effect
1. Open the original image material, create a new layer, fill it with white, and change the layer blending mode to "Soft Light". The effect is as shown below.
2. Create a new layer and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + E to stamp the layer, and then grind the skin---I will not explain the grinding method in detail this time (remember not to grind the skin too much, it is recommended to do it manually).
3. Stamp the layer, copy one layer, go to the Channels panel, click on the green channel ctrl+a to select all, ctrl+c to copy, click on the blue channel ctrl+v to paste, then return to the layer panel and remove the layer. Transparency changed to: 60%.
