How to Create a Wedding Photoshop Action

Step 1

First, make sure your image is a background layer. If not, go to Layer > New > Background From Layer.

Step 2

Use your chosen selection tool to outline the silhouette of the couple. Try to be as precise as possible. I used the Pen Tool (P), and then I used the Refine Edge (Select > Refine Edge) panel to make the edge softer.

Step 3

Create a New Layer. Fill it with black using the Paint Bucket Tool (G).

Step 4

Create a New Layer below. Fill it with a black and white gradient using the Gradient Tool (G). The white part will be later affected by the blur. The black part will stay as it is. Plan your gradient accordingly.

Step 5

Click somewhere outside of the layers to deselect them. Create a New Action. Give it a name and click Record.

Step 6

Go to the Channels tab. Right-click any channel and select Duplicate Channel. Name it mask. Select the RGB channel again and go back to the Layers tab.

Step 7

Hide both masks. Duplicate the Background layer with Control-J. Go to Filter > Blur > Lens Blur. Use the channel mask as the Source for the Depth Map. Adjust the Radius for the amount of blur, and the Brightness and Threshold for the bokeh effect.

Step 8

Let’s create a custom photo filter by mixing a couple of adjustments. First, add a Gradient Map. The left side colorizes the dark tones of the image, and the right side the light ones. You can add a hue and change the lightness of these areas by adding colors to this gradient. You can also achieve a trendy effect of lower contrast by colorizing the darker areas with a bright color.

Feel free to experiment with the colors, but if you want to achieve the same effect as me, here are the exact values:

1. #3b1a5c, Location 0%
2. #698646, Location 34%
3. #59edfa, Location 100%

Step 9

Lower the Opacity of this layer to make the effect subtler.

Step 10

Add a Curves adjustment. Switch the Channel to Green and drag the curve down to make the greens more subdued.

Step 11

Add a Levels adjustment. Drag the left marker of the Output to brighten the dark shades.

Step 12

Double-click the layer to open the Blending Options panel. Drag the
lower left marker of the Blend If settings to remove the effect of the
adjustment from the dark areas. Split the marker with the Alt key to
make the effect more transitional.

Step 13

Adjustments can be also added selectively to a part of the picture. Go to the Channels tab, hold Control, and click the thumbnail of the mask channel. Then go back to the Layers tab and add a Solid Color adjustment. Make it blue (#548cdf).

Step 14

Change its Blend Mode to Divide and lower the Opacity to make the effect subtler.

Step 15

Finally, let’s make the bright parts brighter. Add a Brightness/Contrast adjustment. Make the whole image brighter, without trying to keep it looking good.

Step 16

Double-click the layer. Adjust the Blend If settings to make the brightening effect more selective. Lower the Opacity if the effect is still too intense.

Step 17

Let’s make the image just a little sharper as well. Make a selection out of the silhouette of the couple and duplicate the Background layer with Control-J. Drag it to the top. Go to Filter > Other > High Pass. Drag the Radius until you see the lines without too much glow around.

Step 18

Change the Blend Mode to Linear Light. If you want to make this effect more intense, duplicate the layer.

Step 19

The action is finished now, so click Stop Recording.

Now you can add the same photo effect to other photos. Just create the masks and click Play. Because this Photoshop filter consists of various adjustment layers, they all can be adjusted afterwards to customize the effect.

Let’s create a custom photo filter by mixing a couple of adjustments. First, add a Gradient Map. The left side colorizes the dark tones of the image, and the right side the light ones. You can add a hue and change the lightness of these areas by adding colors to this gradient. You can also achieve a trendy effect of lower contrast by colorizing the darker areas with a bright color.

Feel free to experiment with the colors, but if you want to achieve the same effect as me, here are the exact values:

1. #3b1a5c, Location 0%
2. #698646, Location 34%
3. #59edfa, Location 100%

Step 9

Lower the Opacity of this layer to make the effect subtler.

Step 10

Add a Curves adjustment. Switch the Channel to Green and drag the curve down to make the greens more subdued.

Step 11

Add a Levels adjustment. Drag the left marker of the Output to brighten the dark shades.

Step 12

Double-click the layer to open the Blending Options panel. Drag the
lower left marker of the Blend If settings to remove the effect of the
adjustment from the dark areas. Split the marker with the Alt key to
make the effect more transitional.

Step 13

Adjustments can be also added selectively to a part of the picture. Go to the Channels tab, hold Control, and click the thumbnail of the mask channel. Then go back to the Layers tab and add a Solid Color adjustment. Make it blue (#548cdf).

Step 14

Change its Blend Mode to Divide and lower the Opacity to make the effect subtler.

Step 15

Finally, let’s make the bright parts brighter. Add a Brightness/Contrast adjustment. Make the whole image brighter, without trying to keep it looking good.

Step 16

Double-click the layer. Adjust the Blend If settings to make the brightening effect more selective. Lower the Opacity if the effect is still too intense.

Step 17

Let’s make the image just a little sharper as well. Make a selection out of the silhouette of the couple and duplicate the Background layer with Control-J. Drag it to the top. Go to Filter > Other > High Pass. Drag the Radius until you see the lines without too much glow around.

Step 18

Change the Blend Mode to Linear Light. If you want to make this effect more intense, duplicate the layer.

Step 19

The action is finished now, so click Stop Recording.

Now you can add the same photo effect to other photos. Just create the masks and click Play. Because this Photoshop filter consists of various adjustment layers, they all can be adjusted afterwards to customize the effect.

Post pobrano z: How to Make a Texture Brush in Illustrator

This tutorial is for those who want to incorporate a real-world drawing technique into digital drawing. If you like texture, grunge, or paint brushes, or if you enjoy drawing in Illustrator and would like to have a more diverse brush arsenal, please stay here. In this quick tip tutorial, you will learn how to make and install a brush in Illustrator. I promise that it’s easy, and after this tutorial you will want to create a few dozen more of them!

If you like grunge or texture Illustrator brushes, but don’t want to spend time making them and would just like to get some free Illustrator brushes—it’s your choice!

If you would like to learn more about how to install and use a custom brush, feel free to check this article about it.

Or maybe you want to stay here, but need some inspiration about what to draw using this brush? Just browse GraphicRiver for some graphics, and I’m sure you will find something you like!

1. How to Create a Stroke for the Illustrator Brush

Step 1

To start creating our texture brush (I assume you already created a new document), delete the stroke color and set a black fill color. Draw a tiny ellipse using the Ellipse Tool (L).

After that, draw some more ellipses that overlap each other. We are now creating the pencil stroke, so try to stay in an imaginary rectangle. Remember how a real pencil leaves its track on a paper? It’s actually a tiny, super narrow rectangle.

Step 2

Then we want to distort the ellipses a little, to make sure that the pencil stroke looks even more realistic. For this, we will need the Wrinkle Tool (this tool is hidden under the Width Tool (Shift-W) or under the Warp Tool (Shift-R)—it depends on which version of AI you have).

Double-click on the Wrinkle Tool, as we need to adjust it. A new dialogue window will pop up, called Wrinkle Tool Options. Enter the options you see in the image below, and press OK.

Step 3

Before distorting our ellipses with the Wrinkle Tool, group them together (select them, and then right-click > Group). Now take the Wrinkle Tool and click on the ellipses here and there. You will notice how the ellipses start to wrinkle, and that’s exactly what we need.

2. How to Install the Adobe Illustrator Brush

Step 1

After you are satisfied with the result or how the stroke looks, select it, and on the Pathfinder panel (Window > Pathfinder), press the Unite button. You just turned all the ellipses into one shape.

And now we are going to create a brush from this shape. Keep it selected, and on the Brushes panel (Window > Brushes), click on the icon that looks like three lines, in the top right corner. Select New Brush… In the new pop-up window, check Art Brush and press OK.

Another window will pop up. Enter the options you see below, and press OK.

Step 2

So, we already created a new brush from a stroke that consists of wrinkled ellipses, but we haven’t used it yet. Now we want to adjust the Paintbrush Tool (B) options to have some nice curved lines later on while using the new brush. It’s as if we prepared the „paint” when we created the texture stroke, and now we need to adjust the brush.

Double-click on the Paintbrush Tool (B). In the new dialogue window, move the Fidelity slider to Smooth, check Edit Selected Paths 12 pixels, and press OK.

Your Paintbrush Tool is already selected, so now take your „paint” on the Brushes panel: the new stroke you created from the wrinkled ellipses. And now the fun begins: draw something!

Conclusion

You did it! Today, you’ve learned how to make a texture or grunge brush in Illustrator, and how to install it on your Brushes panel. Using this technique, you can create another Illustrator brush. It would be great to see your results posted in the comments section down below. And if you still have some questions, please feel free to ask me!
