Photoshop Portrait Project

Photoshop Portrait Project 

For my second assignment in my Contemporary Media class, we created a colorful grunge portrait using Photoshop. There were three steps to this assignment. The first step was to take a self portrait of ourselves using Photo booth then we had to get a texture base photo. The next step was to apply the picture and the texture base photo after that we bumped up the contrast on the self portrait. Lastly, we had to switch over to the channels panel and pressed (cmd+click) to select all of the files then we went back over to the layers panel and pressed the mask icon , that should apply the selection you made on the channels panel. With the mask icon selected press (cmd-i) and it should invert the colors then you delete the original portrait. After thats all done you could just start painting! This was a fun project I learned a lot from photoshop.
