In this article, we use Photoshop to create a "non-mainstream" photo special effect: decadence + beautification. Friends who are interested can try it together!
Original picture 
The final effect is as follows
1. Open the layer and copy one layer
2: Select the green channel in the channel panel, CTRL+A to select all, CTRL+C to copy
3: Select the blue channel in the channel panel, CTRL+V to paste.
4: The effect after processing is as follows
5: Select "Background Copy" and click "Image" - "Adjustment" - "Brightness and Contrast".
6: Filter - Blur - Special Blur
7: Duplicate the layer
The above parameters are reference parameters and you can adjust them according to your own preferences.
8: Image - Adjustments - Color Balance. NOTE: Without maintaining brightness, select "Shadows".
9: Image - Adjustments - Hue and Saturation. Full image, saturation +15
10: Add a layer mask (white, not black) to "Background Copy 2", which is the layer that was just adjusted.
11: Use a rubber to wipe out the characters, with the foreground color being white.
12: After adjustment, merge "Background Copy and Background Copy 2"
13: Create a new layer, layer 1.
14: Select the newly created "Layer 1" and use the Elliptical Selection Tool to draw an elliptical selection as shown in the picture. (Select - Transform the selection to adjust the selection)
15: After making the elliptical selection, press CTRL+ALT+D to pop up the feathering dialog box, adjust the parameters, and set the feathering radius to 35.
16: After feathering is OK, CTRL+SHIFT+I reverse selection
15:17: SHIFT+F5 fill with black
18: Merge layers after filling
This is basically OK, now let’s do the decadent effect.
19: Create a new layer and use the rectangular marquee tool to pull out the marquee as shown in the figure.
20: CTRL+SHIFT+I reverse selection.
21: SHIFT+F5 fills with black, and other options are fine by default.
22: Merge layers and create a new layer~
23: Select the newly created "Layer 1" (transparent), use various brushes, and set the foreground color to white. Use your imagination to draw a messy and decadent border effect around the picture.
24: The picture below is the effect of my painting. In order to make it more obvious, I gave a black background.
25: After drawing, merge the layers (before merging, you can change the layer style according to the situation of the specific picture, and do it however you want it to look good). I didn’t do any extra steps here.
26: Create a new layer and use a brush such as a star brush to create decorative effects in the picture at will.
27: When you are satisfied, you can add your own LOGO signature, merge the layers, and save it.
Here is the final result:
