Digital Girl Image Manipulation


New document

Create a new Canvas, 300x300 with a transparent background.



Open A Picture

Open a picture of your favourite girl and cut and paste into your new document





Duplicate & Add Filter-gausian blur

Duplicate the layer (layer>duplicate layer) , do a filter>blur>gausian blur> 1.5 and then set the layer mode to overlay.



Apply Filter-Motion Blur

Duplicate the oringinal layer of your girl, and do a filter>blur>motion blur > angle=0, and distance=50. Then put the layer mode to soft light.





Apply Filter-Mosaic
Duplicate the original layer again, and do then do a filter>pixilate>mosaic, 9 pixels.



Apply Filter-Sharpen more

Now do a filter>sharpen>sharpen more, then put the layer mode to soft light, it should now look like:





Add Effects

Now add some text (do this on a layer that is below the layers that had the blur and soft light), add an outerglow to the text, set the layer mode to multiply and pick a colour like: #F3D26C. Finally do a edit>transform>rotate 90 degrees



Duplicate

Now duplicate this layer and place beside the one you initally created, I placed it to the left of my girl:





Apply Filter-Fragment

Now duplicate one of the text layers, and do a filter>pixelatte>fragment, and then press ctrl+f to do this filter again, and then duplicate the layer and press ctrl+e to merge down, now you have another digital binary sort of layer you can play with, since this is alot softer you can put more of these on your girl, I played with the opacity, and locations... I also put on over my inital binary. like so:





Apply Filter-Render

Now open an render that has a wireframe on it, if you cant find one, here is the one I used



Change Layer Modes

Now set the later mode to screen, and then press ctrl+u to make it greyscale.



Place Image

Place this image, as well as some duplicates of it so that its not exactly ON the girl, but around, you want to preserve the beauty of this girl, like I have done here:





Add Text

Now I have added some text, and I hope that you'll have something like this:



enjoy!
