photoshop tutorial
Step 1
Create a new document with dimensions; 1600 x 1100px. First change the foreground color to a bright reddish color, the exact color doesn't matter then hit Alt+Backspace to fill the background layer red. Paste the image with the model into your document then scale and move it until it looks like the image below.
Step 2
Now we need to mask out the girl, this is usually the most tedious par
Now change the foreground color to black or just hit D then select the background layer and hit Alt+Backspace to fill it black. You'll notice that there will be some thin white bits around the model. So select the layer with the girl on it then click the layer mask button at the bottom of the layers panel. Now select the brush tool and choose a soft round brush about 50px diameter and 50% opacity

Step 5
Duplicate the girl's layer (Ctrl+J) then scale it up a bit then in the layers panel move this layer below the original layer. Now change the opacity of this new layer to about 10%.sure simulate pressure is unchecked.
Step 6
Create a new layer then change the foreground color to white then select the brush tool. Change to a 2px, 0% hardness, 100% opacity round brush. Now select the pen tool and draw a curvy path that kind of wraps around the girl. Then right click on the document and select Stroke path and make



Photoshop design of journal/personal type website.




Now create a new layer and call it "Background4" and then go Image > Apply Image. Now go Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen.
Thats the background finished. Create a new folder and call it "Background" and move all of our background layers into it.

Place it at the top right of our journal on a slight angle.
