How to make an amazing photoshop effect

Step: 1

First of all you have to  choose  the suitable  photo  then open it in

photoshop, or you want to use the photo  which am  using in the given

image. You can download it  from here.

Step: 2

Give the photo bleached look and a faded. Go to layer > new adjustment layer

 > curves then alter  blue, red and RGB curves as you can see in the shown

figure. It will  look like as shown in the given photo.

Step: 3

To drop the contrast  to  make the look more  clear, go to layer > new adjustment layer > levels now  output  value  should be set to 42.

Step: 4

go to layer > new adjustment layer > Color Balance. Go to mid tones, change

level of magenta green to -8. To create shadows change 3 levels to -11

 -2 and +25, highlights should be set to -25, 21 and +12. We have increased the redness and magenta levels.

Step: 5

Please notice that the image should not look so bright, high contrast will give the image a smooth and dynamic look. Dull down the dynamic look and take back some contrast.

Then go to Layer  >  new adjustment layer and select the hue  >  saturation. You will see colorize  option make sure its ticked, Set the saturation to 37, hue to 28 and lightness to -10.

Step: 6

The effect we have done in step 5 it gives a sepia effect.

Make sure  the layer mask is active in adjustment layers.

Select the brush tool or  press the button B on your

keyboard and start painting with a soft black brush over

her face and  also paint over the bubble. You will get

these areas with full color, image will retains the sepia.

Step: 7

Duplicate all the layers  by selecting all layers with

hold down ( Ctrl + A ). Then got o layers > duplicate the

layer. Now merge  the layers by pressing the following

buttons Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E or simply right click

on layers and select merge layers.

Select the layer which we have merged, go to image > adjustments >  Desaturate, use Gaussian blur with the  radius of 20 px.

Go to filter  > blur > Gaussian blur. Final thing to do is now change the blending mode to soft light, set the opacity to 100%.

Step: 8

As we  have done in step 7 duplicate the layer. Now merge  the layers by pressing the following

buttons Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E or simply right click on layers and select merge layers.

Use Gaussian blur with the radius of 20 px. Go to filter > blur > Gaussian blur. Now set the blending mode of this

new layer to screen. Select the eraser tool (E) now erase the areas over the model hand  and face and the bubble.

Step: 9

Create a new layer and change the blending  mode to linear

burn to 30% opacity. Fill the layer with black using paint

tool. Now select brush tool with a soft white brush, begin

to paint the layer over  layer center to create a

transparent effect. Remember to use the pic as shown above.
