![]() One trick with Levels is to move the black point to the right a little, but to also make the blacks slightly gray by increasing the black output level. Next I used a Levels adjustment layer to add a little bit of gray to the blacks, for a creative effect and to make the blacks less harsh. You’ll notice that our total is +110%, which compensates for the constant that’s set at -10%. The exact values are highly dependent on your image, so you’ll have to tweak until you find something that looks good to your eye. When you adjust the Constant slider, you can then go for a total for the R, G and B channels that takes in consideration the change in constant.įor the purpose of this image, I reduced my Constant to -10%, set the Red channel to +10%, the Green channel to +70% and the Blue channel to +30%. For black & whites, this can be really useful because you can lower the black point and then crank up some of the color channels to create a high contrast result. Constant moves the overall black or white points of the image. There’s one exception though, and that’s when using the Constant slider. If your image has the correct exposure to start with, tweaking the channels for a total of over or under 100% will underexpose or overexpose the image. Anything less than 100% and you’ll reduce the overall image’s exposure, and anything over 100% will increase the overall exposure. Now the trick is to play around with the channels, but still arrive at a total of 100%. #Change channel image mixer skin#If you tweaks the red channel you’ll mostly affect the skin tones. By default Photoshop creates the black and white with a mix of 40% red, 40% green and 40% blue. By default the resulting black and white can look quite flat, but we’ll fix that by tweaking the values for the different color channels. So go ahead and add a new Channel Mixer adjustment, and thick off the Monochrome checkbox. It also has a monochrome mode to create black and whites. The channel mixer is an adjustment layer that allows to easily mix the Red, Green and Blue channels to tweak the image’s colors. Click on the area you want to be blended and drag your mouse.To get started, I used the Spot Healing Brush tool on a new layer with the Sample All Layers option active to remove some of the skin blemishes. Move to the top toolbar and pick the Black, White gradient by clicking on the arrow near the gradient window.ģ. Make sure the layer mask (the white rectangle we were talking about before) is selected. Now you need to find the Gradient Tool in the left toolbar. Then go to the bottom, find the Add Layer Mask option and choose it.Ī white rectangle should appear next to the selected layer.Ģ. Upload two images you want to blend and click the picture from the top layer. ![]() Though the Layer Mask is not the simplest way to mix images, it’s used much more often than the previous methods because it gives you an opportunity to choose which part of an image you want to blnd and how intensive the blending has to be.ġ. You can play with Opacity settings as well and choose the coolest combination. I had these two pictures and Screen mode turned out to be the best for them:ģ. Different combinations of images have certain options that suit them the most, so it’s better to try every mode for your exact pictures. You can find it above the Layers Panel - it’s always in Normal mode, until you change it.Ģ. Upload your images and use the Blend Mode. This way to blend images can be used as an additional effect for photos. That’s pretty much it! Here are my two original images: Now we're gonna do some online photo mixing.Open desired images: the first picture will be your background, and the second will be an image which you want to mix with previous (it will be named Layer 1 by default).Ģ.Select the top image layer and choose the Opacity level you like the most.ģ. Have you ever looked at the picture and thought how cool it would be if you added something from another image to it? If yes, this tutorial is for you! We’ll go through several options to merge two images together and you’ll pick the best to reach your creative goal.ġ. ![]()
